Piers Morgan has announced that Cristiano Ronaldo's most personal and revealing interview ever will air next week.
Morgan claims he and Ronaldo recently sat down in Saudi Arabia for an 80-minute chat. The last time they did so, three years ago, resulted in Manchester United and their then-player mutually agreeing to terminate his contract with immediate effect before the mid-season World Cup in Qatar.
That departure paved the way for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr to sign Ronaldo, which is where he continues to play. Morgan has described their latest conversation as "amazingly heartfelt, honest, warm and often hilarious".
Morgan has previewed the interview on his Instagram account. "So many people asking me about my new interview with Cristiano Ronaldo," the caption of his post reads.
"What does he say? How personal does he get? Is it very revealing? Was anything off limits? To which the answers are: a) A lot, b) VERY, c) Yes, and d) No.
"I spent 80 minutes chatting to the (goat emoji) of football at his home in Saudi Arabia, and it was an amazingly heartfelt, honest, warm and often hilarious conversation. It airs next week on Piers Morgan Uncensored. You won't want to miss this!"
Morgan also posted on X: "UPDATE: The announcement of my new Ronaldo interview has now been viewed 51 million times on our combined X and Insta accounts. In just 24 hours…! This is why he's the (goat emoji)."
Morgan's announcement post has just over 344,000 views at the time of writing.
Ronaldo most recently spoke about United late last year. "I said this one and a half years ago, and I will continue to say it: The problem is not the coaches," Ronaldo said at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.

"It's like an aquarium. If you have the fish inside and he's sick and you take him out and you fix the problem and you put him again in an aquarium, they will be sick again.
"The problem of Manchester United is the same. The problem is not always the coach. It's much more than that.
"If I were the owner of the club, I would make things clear and adjust what I think is bad there."
