Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo said he could end his career with the Spanish giants after signing a new contract with Madrid on Sunday that will run until 2018.
.
The Portuguese international has scored a remarkable 203 goals in 203 games since joining for a then world record 94 million euros from Manchester United back in 2009.
.
And he is hoping to continue that sensational form for the next five years.
.
"It is a priviledge for me to continue with this club. It is just like my first day here," he told a press conference.
.
"I am going to continue with the same spirit of sacrifice and give everything for the shirt.
.
"It is a special day for me, I want to thank the president for making this happen and the fans who continue to support me.
.
"Maybe I will stay here until the end of my career.
.
This club is the biggest in the world and I am extremely happy."
.
With Ronaldo's previous deal set to expire in 2015, there had been strong speculation linking the 28- year-old with a return to Old Trafford, but he said United are very much in the past and that a verbal agreement had been in place for a new contract since the end of last season.
.
"The president gave me his word at the end of the season and I did to him too. It is something that I always wanted and the president also showed his feelings that he wanted me to stay.
I wonder why this news is circulating everywhere cos I believed the updates saying he was abt to join Man Utd already died down!
