Cristiano Ronaldo needs one more goal to touch the mark of 900 career goals and the Portugal forward is already looking forward to crossing the 1000-goal mark. Ronaldo spoke about his career ambitions, Saudi Pro League, and retirement plans in an interview with former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand on YouTube.

“I want to reach 1,000 goals,” 39-year-old Ronaldo said. “If I don’t have any injuries, this for me is the most important [thing], I want that. For me, the best mark that I can have in football is to reach, first, 900 goals. After, my challenge is to be at 1,000 goals.”

Ronaldo estimated that he would reach 1000 goals by the age of 41 and also added that the fact that all his goals are on videos sets him apart from other all-time top scorers like Pele and Alfredo Di Stefano.

“All the goals I have scored, they have video,” Ronaldo said. “They all have video. Listen, I respect all of them [Pele and Di Stefano]. And if you want more goals, I can bring them from training, too. And I will prove to the people after. They prefer this player, or this is the best one. I don’t care about that.”

Talking about playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo said: “No country is perfect, so for me the adaptation was easy and I really love to be there. In my opinion, the league is very, very good.”

The former Real Madrid star also refused to speculate when he will hang his boots and said that he will play till the time he can perform.

“I don’t know when I’m going to finish. Since you play more, you learn many, many things. One thing that I’ve learned is, enjoy the moment. Because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I know I’m still looking good. The day that I start to feel I don’t produce nothing, listen, I’ll pack my bags and I’ll go away. But it’s far from that.”
