‘Cristiano Ronaldo should decide how he wants to end his time with national team’, says Portugal coach Jesus

Portuguese journalist Miguel Pereira has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to the national team for a final appearance. Ronaldo's sudden departure from the team a few days ago left fans and experts alike questioning his future with Portugal. Speaking on talkSPORT’s Sunday Edition, Pereira stated that efforts are being made to mend relationships between Ronaldo, head coach Jorge Jesus, and the Portuguese Football Federation.

Despite the initial setback, Pereira believes that the federation sees great value in Ronaldo's return due to the increased media attention it would generate. Ronaldo, who currently has 21 goals, expressed his desire to score the last one with his beloved national team. Similar to how Pelé captivated audiences during his 1,000th goal celebration, Ronaldo appears determined to make a memorable impact before retiring.

According to Pereira, it is highly likely that Ronaldo will return for a last dance with the Portuguese side later next year.
