Overview
- Ronaldo told Vogue on Sunday that the coming season is "probably" his last as a professional, stopping short of setting a firm retirement date.
- The forward is under contract with Saudi club Al‑Nassr through summer 2027, which most coverage cites as the likely end point for his playing career.
- Reports place his official goal tally at about 976, meaning he has not yet reached his stated personal target of 1,000 career goals.
- He said he has already planned life after football and named spending time with his new wife Georgina Rodríguez, travel and playing or watching padel among his priorities.
- Ronaldo’s comments follow earlier signals at the end of 2025 and during the 2026 World Cup and put in stark relief the sporting legacy he leaves after five Ballon d’Or wins, multiple Champions League titles and Portugal’s Euro 2016 triumph.
