All you know about him is Cristiano Ronaldo, but I think only the great soccer and CR7 lovers know his full name is Christiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro. Ronaldo was born on 5 February 1985 and brought up in Funchal located on the Portuguese island of Madeira.
At just 10 years of age, a kid who was known for just to ate, slept, and play soccer is now one of the best soccer players in the world. The love of playing soccer at that young age is the only reason you are watching him in the top position of soccer players worldwide.
Cristiano Ronaldo Has the Most International Goals in Football History and that adds to His greatness. He reached another historic landmark in his extraordinary career by scoring his 900th carrier goal means Ronaldo has averaged 35 goals in every season.
Ronaldo began his senior club career with Sporting CP, before joining Manchester United at just 18 years of age in 2003. Excellence in this sport made him the most expensive player in the soccer world. In 2003 he was just 16 years old when Manchester paid £12 million to sign him, and later in 2009, Real Madrid paid a record $131 million for him. In 2018, he left Real Madrid and signed for Italian Club Juventus, with €100 million (£88 million) contract amount, which is the most expensive transfer for an Italian club. He returned to Man City in 2021 but he was terminated by mutual consent in 2022 and signed for the Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr in 2023.
Now he plays as a forward and captains both Saudi Pro League clubs Al Nassr and also represents his National team of Portugal. Ronaldo set some world records that are hard to chase or break now.
