The idea of retiring from football is on Cristiano Ronaldo’s mind, and he may not continue as expected until the 2026 World Cup, but he may retire at the end of the current season.
This is what the famous Italian journalist Rudy Galetti stated, who said that Ronaldo is thinking of 3 things regarding his future in the world of the round witch.
The first thing is to continue as was the previous plan until the next World Cup and then retire.
The 39-year-old is pledging his renewal with Al-Nassr for another year to the Saudi club making strong deals that help him achieve his goals, especially since Ronaldo realizes that he has physically declined due to age.
But there is also an idea that is on the mind of the Portuguese international, which is to retire at the end of the current season, but it is linked to one condition.
This condition is that he succeeds in leading Al-Nassr to achieve the AFC Champions League for the elite, and after that he will feel that he has achieved everything big that can be achieved even if he does not win the Saudi League with the “Knight of Najd”.
Another option Ronaldo is considering is to return to Portugal and play there before the end of his career, but the chances of that happening are very slim.
Al-Nassr had already secured qualification to the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League, and it seems that “Don” has decided that this is his biggest goal this season, especially since the Saudi league title seems out of reach.
