Super agent Mendes insists Juventus star Ronaldo will smash Pele record

Super agent Jorge Mendes insists Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to peak.

Now 34, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored the 700th goal of his career and broke a new record. And now, Ronaldo has hopes to match Pele and his 767 official goals, a performance that Mendes says he can achieve.

He said, "Cristiano has reached the remarkable mark of 700 goals, but I have no doubt that he will surpass Pelé as the top scorer in football history and will do it with Juventus.

"After all, 68 goals for this extraordinary Cristiano Ronaldo is not a lot, is it? I am convinced that the best is yet to come."
