Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out about his plans for retirement, hinting that Al-Nassr may be the last club he plays for.

In an interview, the 39-year-old football star revealed that he is not considering retiring soon, despite his contract with the Saudi club expiring at the end of the season.

Ronaldo’s future has been shrouded in uncertainty following Portugal’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, and given that he will turn 40 in February. However, he has stated that he is happy at Al-Nassr and wants to continue playing in Saudi Arabia.

Speaking about his future plans, Ronaldo said: “I don’t know if I will retire soon, in two or three years… but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr. I’m very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I’m happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue.”

Ronaldo previously confirmed that Euro 2024 was his sixth and last European Championship. Portugal was knocked out of the tournament after a quarter-final shootout defeat against France.

Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January 2023, with a deal worth a reported £175-million-year, following his Manchester United departure. Although some fans view his move to Saudi Arabia as a football pension, he has been in impressive form, scoring 61 goals in 67 appearances while providing 16 assists to his teammates.

Despite his advanced age, Ronaldo – who made his international debut in August 2003 – was a regular starter for Portugal as he failed to score a single goal in five Euro 2024 matches. The team’s head coach, Roberto Martinez, previously revealed no decision had been made regarding the striker’s international future after their tournament knockout.

Asked when it would be time to hang up his international boots, Ronaldo said: “When I leave the national team, I won’t tell anyone in advance. It will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a very well thought-out one.”

Ronaldo also confirmed that he will not consider becoming a coach after retirement, saying: “At the moment, I’m not thinking about being a coach of the first-team or any team. It doesn’t even cross my mind, I’ve never thought about it. I don’t see my future going through that.”

Prior reports suggested Ronaldo told Al-Nassr management he wants to renew his contract until 2027 and aims to have one more shot at winning the World Cup with his country in 2026.

If Ronaldo continues to compete, fans may have the opportunity to witness the striker, aged 41, at the World Cup 2026.
