Ronaldo drops retirement plan, says he’ll probably end his career at Al-Nassr

Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s glorious career is likely to be called curtain upon in Saudi Arabia, as confirmed by the Al-Nassr striker.

After successful stints in Spain, Italy and England, Ronaldo moved to Al-Nassr in January 2023 and has scored 61 goals in 67 games whilst providing 16 assists.

“I don’t know if I will retire soon, in two or three years but probably I will retire at Al Nassr. I’m very happy at this club, and I feel good in this country too, I love playing in Saudi Arabia. I want to continue,” said Ronaldo to a Portuguese TV channel.

The 39-year-old Portuguese star’s most successful time came for Real Madrid where he attained the status of all-time great.

In 438 games, Ronaldo smashed the ball to the back of the net an astonishing 450 times. He is also the all-time leading top scorer internationally.

The Portugal captain was insistent that, despite being one of the best players in football history, he does not want a farewell tour with the national team and it will be a ’very spontaneous decision’.

“When I leave the national team, I won’t tell anyone beforehand and it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a well-thought-out one. Right now, what I want most is to help the national team in its upcoming matches. We have the Nations League coming up soon and I would really like to play there,” he added.

Ronaldo also dismissed any talk of him taking a managerial role after retirement.

“In my mind, at the moment, it is not about being a first team coach, or a coach of any team. I don’t see my future being that way. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only god knows what the future holds,” concluded Ronaldo.
