“The moment I finish, I don’t know to be honest,” Ronaldo shared with a grin. “Of course, it will be soon, soon I mean 10 years more. No, I am joking, I don’t know, let’s see.”
Turning 39 next month, Ronaldo’s journey in the Saudi Pro League has been nothing short of remarkable since joining Al-Nassr in a reported £175 million-a-year deal last January, following the termination of his contract with Manchester United.
He has become the leading scorer in the league this season, boasting an impressive 20 goals, three more than his closest competitor, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Ronaldo’s charismatic presence, both on and off the pitch, has not only solidified his status as a football icon but has also kept fans on their toes regarding his future plans.
The playful banter about retirement during the Globe Soccer Awards has only added to the intrigue surrounding the football maestro’s career trajectory.
As the football world eagerly awaits the next chapters in Ronaldo’s illustrious career, his latest remarks in Dubai have left fans speculating about how many more years they will get to witness the magic of this legendary player on the field.
