Cristiano Ronaldo: 'I could play in Brazil'

Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he could play in Brazil before hanging up his boots.

The Portuguese, who is widely regarded as one of the best players of all time, has been linked with a return to former club Manchester United, where he made his name.

However, the 29-year-old has claimed that he is also considering a stint in Brazil and has picked out Corinthians and Flamengo as possible destinations.

"Corinthians and Flamengo are two famous clubs and I would gladly wear one of their shirts," Ronaldo is quoted as saying by The Metro.

"I have many friends in Brazil so my relationship with the country is very good. At Real Madrid I've come across many Brazilians and Kaka is one of the people I respect most of all."

Ronaldo has netted 36 goals in just 30 games this season.
