Cristiano Ronaldo has indicated that his remarkable football career is drawing to a close, saying he plans to retire in the near future.
The 40-year-old Portugal captain, who currently plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, spoke candidly about his feelings on retirement and life after football during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored. With 952 career goals to his name, Ronaldo acknowledged that stepping away from the game will be an emotional moment.
“It will be tough and difficult. I will cry, and that’s normal, I cry easily. I try to be honest and open,” he said. “But I have been preparing for the future since I was 27, and I feel ready to handle the pressure that comes with leaving the game.”
Under contract with Al Nassr until 2027, Ronaldo’s remarks suggest he is already planning the next chapter of his life off the pitch. His career has been marked by Champions League titles, domestic league triumphs in England, Spain and Italy, and five Ballon d’Or awards, securing his place as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
