Aged 39, sources close to the footballer say he is eyeing an appearance in the 2026 World Cup -what will be his final chapter in a major tournament with Portugal national team.
To make Roberto Martinez’s squad, he has to maintain a regular week-in and week-out involvement in club action but he will be out of contract with Al-Nassr a year before the tournament.
