“Probably my last year” - Ronaldo hints at retirement

Cristiano Ronaldo says this season is likely to be his last as a player after a glittering career, writes BBC.

“The 41-year-old married his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, on Tuesday and is contemplating a future orientated around his family.

A five-time Ballon d’Or and five-time Champions League winner, Ronaldo has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia and is the all-time top goalscorer in men's international football. The Portugal captain has spent almost four years at Saudi Pro League champions Al-Nassr, where he has one year remaining on his contract.

“This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy”, Ronaldo told Vogue in an interview about his wedding. “I have my future all mapped out. I have so many things to keep me busy that to tell you just one thing is hard. Because football could leave a big hole, you have to fill your time in various ways, not just one. Have more fun, travel more, watch and play padel, which I really like, and continue to enjoy what I’ve earned - what we’ve earned. Because after all it’s been 25 years with a lot of sacrifice”.

Ronaldo is 24 goals away from scoring 1,000 senior career goals”, - reads the article.
