It’s probably my last season as a player, Ronaldo hints on retirement
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that the 2026-27 season is likely to be his last as a player, dropping a major hint about his future.
The Portuguese captain has enjoyed a glittering career with numerous trophies and individual awards.
He is preparing for his 25th season as a professional player as Al Nassr defends the Saudi Pro League title.
Ronaldo has one-year left on his contract with Al-Nassr, and he is targeting a spectacular legacy.
He said: “This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy.

“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 married his long-term girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old started his career at Sporting Lisbon in 2001, and has won 35 senior team trophies and five Ballon d’Or awards.
