The captain of the Saudi club Al Nassr has hinted that he could retire at the end of the season, saying that this year “could be his last” on the pitch.
In an interview with Vogue, published on August 16, Ronaldo said: “this is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy.”
He said he is looking forward to spending more time with his family after retirement and has already begun planning for the next chapter of his life.
“I have my future all mapped out,” he says. “I have so many things to keep me busy that to tell you just one thing is hard. Because football could leave a big void, you have to fill your time in various ways, not just one.”
The Al Nassr forward added, “I also want to 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.”
