Cristiano Ronaldo is a big name in football, and that’s saying something. The Portuguese star, who is always present in the selection, has won the Ballon d’Or five times in his career and has won numerous titles, including the Champions League with two different clubs, Manchester United and Real Madrid. After nine years with the Merengue and a return to the Red Devils which did not go as planned, CR7 tried the adventure at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he recently passed the mark of 900 goals scored since the start of his career. The opportunity for him to discuss a possible short-term international retirement: “I am immensely proud to represent our colors, it’s a dream. That’s why when I leave the national team, I won’t let anyone know in advance. It will be a very spontaneous decision on my part but one which also requires a lot of reflection”he said in an interview for NOW.
CR7’s wife talks about her husband’s retirement
In the Netflix documentary titled «Hi Georgina»the player’s companion Georgina Rodriguez also mentioned a future retirement of Cristiano Ronaldo, which will obviously not be for right away: “When Cris told me he was going to play for Al-Nassr, I was very relieved, because I was dying to leave Manchester. It’s incredible even today to see how football still motivates him as much as the day I met him. He will always give everything. When people ask me when Cristiano will retire, I tell myself that he could retire at 50.she said. Portugal has already lost an icon with the retirement of Pepe after the Euro (141 selections between 2007 and 2024), but CR7 is inclined to continue the selection even beyond his 40th birthday, which he will celebrate in February next year. Time for the top scorer in the history of his country to continue to break records and write another beautiful page in football in the months or even years to come.
