Ronaldo has been single since his split from Russian model Irina Shayk earlier this year. 

Asked on The Jonathan Ross Show whether he has a 'new special someone', Ronaldo said: 'A few. I have to figure it out. Some know [they are competing]. I am normal.

'To speak serious, it is not easy. I know 50 per cent approach just for [celebrity] interest... It's normal, not just me. All the famous people have these kind of problems.

'I think I am a confident guy. I'm tall, have all my teeth, have a nice body.'

Mendes, who is 24 and the eldest of the agent's children, attended the Portugal international's self-titled film premiere and is a regular at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ronaldo has been single since splitting with Russian model Irina Shayk in January.

The 30-year-old superstar recently credited agent Mendes with having a huge impact on his career and said of the agent's influence during his move to Manchester United as an 18-year-old: 'What Jorge did for me at 18 with the words of Ferguson was a dream. To play in Sporting and move was "wow, what is that?"

'When Ferguson wanted me and said I'd play 50 per cent of the games that was unbelievable.

'I took that decision because Jorge helped me. The last word from Ferguson was key also.' 

Ronaldo attended Mendes' wedding in August as best man and bought the super agent his own Greek island, according to reports in Spain.

Mendes, who has brokered more than £1billion of transfer deals and has a client list that includes Jose Mourinho and David de Gea, married Sandra Barbosa in the affluent Foz do Douro.

During the appearance, Ronaldo spoke about his relationship with his son and said he will tell Cristiano Jnr who his mother is when 'the time is right' and rejected pressure to publicly announce her identity.

He also all but conceded that a third consecutive Ballon d'Or victory is out of his reach in January, insisting that Barcelona's Lionel Messi will regain the crown.

'This kind of trophy depends on votes and Messi won competitions,' Ronaldo said. 'He won the Champions League and La Liga. In terms of individual [performances] I probably did the best season of my career, which is good. I was the highest scorer in Europe.

'We share this stage at FIFA for eight years. No-one did that in the past, only us. So it's good, I have a good relationship with him. We are not old friends but we respect each other.'
