5 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo should sign for Paris Saint-Germain

#2 To extend his career

Playing at a lower level in Ligue 1 could have its own benefits

A move to Ligue 1 could prolong Ronaldo’s career. The Portuguese superstar retains an incredible physical condition and phenomenal appetite for work, yet playing at a marginally lower level on a weekly basis – but for very good money – could allow him to play for another two or three years at the top level.

Due to international commitments – Euro 2016, the 2017 Confederations Cup and the 2018 World Cup – Ronaldo will effectively go close to four years without a significant break. That is sure to take its toll on his body at some point, so it may be wise to account for that when planning his future.
