“I have no doubt that he’ll surpass Pele as the best scorer in football history, and he’ll do it with Juventus.

Ronaldo needs 68 more goals to overtake Pele in the list of all-time goalscorers

Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes claims the forward will surpass Pele as the “best scorer in football history” while at Juventus.

The Portugal captain hit a landmark 700th career goal on Monday in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Ukraine, and Mendes reiterated his belief that his client is the greatest player of all time.

“His numbers don’t lie and light up the overwhelming way Cristiano Ronaldo shatters records, which elevate him to the category of best player in the history of football, with a big difference compared to the second [best] for all he achieved with the different clubs he represented, whether in England, Spain or now in Italy and also with the Portuguese national team,” said Mendes.
