Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo footballer has made great confessions to the Russian mixed martial arts superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Speaking at an interview with the YouTube channel KraSava, Kbabib admitted that he is one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s closest friends.
Khabib added that he got on well with the Portuguese as they both have a winning mentality, making them the top two in their respective sports.
“We talk many times, almost every day. When we met we had a conversation about where we got our motivation from,” Khabib said.
Khabib revealed that Ronald’s biggest fear is that his eldest son will not be able to overcome what he has done throughout his nearly 19-year career.
“He wants his son to be his successor, but he fears that he will not have the same will. When Cristiano was a kid, he could only dream of having a simple pair of boots. But his son has everything.” Khabib said.
Juventus crashed out of the Champions League round of 16 on away goals for the second successive year as Andrea Pirlo’s side were eliminated by 10-man Porto after the matchup ended 4-4 on aggregate on Tuesday.
The Italian press points out that Juventus is thinking of selling Cristiano Ronaldo in the next summer market to be able to recover a small part of what was invested.
According to reports, PSG could cover the salary of the Portuguese star, who earns about 31 million euros net.
The president of the club, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi , has a great relationship with the representative, Jorge Mendes, which could facilitate the arrival of the former Real Madrid player to PSG.
Khbaib, meanwhile, retired after defeating Justin Gaethje because he promised his mother that he would not fight again after the death of his father, who had complications related to Covid-19.
UFC President Dana White expected Khabib to fight again sooner or later as he is the current lightweight world champion with a record of 29 wins.
