"'Free as a bird' was his (Ronaldo's) response," revealed Morgan.
The TV presenter also spoke about Ronaldo's future after the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, with the player a free agent now.

"It's not about money at this stage of his career. It's about a burning desire to play football at the highest level, to break records and win trophies," he concluded.
