Instead of being upset or furious upon learning that Manchester United had terminated his contract, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his happiness by messaging journalist Piers Morgan right away.

Journalist Piers Morgan revealed to The Telegraph that he personally texted Ronaldo to convey his emotions after learning that Manchester United had announced the end of the Portuguese player’s contract.

“I texted Cristiano an animation of Braveheart actor William Wallace, who shouted, ‘Freedom!'” stated Morgan.

“I was surprised that he felt that it was the ideal representation of his feelings at the moment. He texted me back, saying, “Free as a bird,” journalist Piers Morgan continued.

Morgan disclosed that Ronaldo, who is reportedly nearing an alluring £173 million annual contract to join Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, still aspires to play for a Champions League team following the World Cup.

He believes that if he does well in this World Cup, he will ultimately achieve his goals. The Champions League team can now add a record to its resume.

In this phase of his career, Ronaldo still doesn’t give much thought to money. His desire to compete at the greatest level, shatter records, and take home championships is still unwavering.

He has undoubtedly played in more nations than any other player in history, according to journalist Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates have now advanced to the round of 16, despite suffering a shocking loss to South Korea in the final group stage match. On December 7, the army of Fernando Santos will take on Switzerland at 2:00 am.
