It's one of top secrets related to Ronaldo's future and if there's anyone who can give us hints about what's coming next regarding his retirement plans, that has to be Ronaldo himself...
At the "Globe Soccer Awards" ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo denied rumors of the possible completion of his football career, allowing fans to breathe a sigh of relief. "I live for today, live in the moment. And this moment is so far very good for me; I feel well and still can help my club and the national team to score goals. So, I will continue to play and I do not know for sure when I will finish my career. Of course, it will happen pretty soon, in about ten years. I’m just joking."
Ronaldo's words are very promising since millions of football aficionados are looking forward to seeing the legend on the field, scoring his powerful shots time and time again. For some, the Portuguese forward is an example to follow, others just enjoy watching his outstanding playstyle, and still others generate considerable profits while placing stakes on Ronaldo at GGBet Sports. As the world-leading bookmaker, GGBet saw the greatest number of football fans betting on CR7 and his team during Euro 2024, especially after Cristiano announced that this was the last European Championship in his career. You will know the details shortly.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Aged 39:
Euro 2024 marked Ronaldo's record-breaking 6th appearance in the championship. The leader of the Portuguese national football team and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner confirmed that he will not participate in the next European tournament, which will be hosted by the UK and Ireland in 2028. Cristiano made such a comment after beating Slovenia in the match 1/8 finals.
"No doubt, this is my last Euro, of course it is. But I do not get too emotional about that. Indeed, I’m moved by every little thing football entails, by the strong enthusiasm I still have for this sport, by the passion of fans supporting me, and by my family being here with me. It’s not at all about leaving the football world. Is there anything else I can do here or win?"
Ronaldo's team won the title of European champions in 2016. Also, the Portuguese forward shared first place with Patrik Schick in the rank of the best scorers of Euro 2020, netting 5 goals each.

Top 5 Scorers in the History of the European Championships
Al Nassr is the 5th football club Cristiano Ronaldo represents in his professional career besides Sporting CP (from 2002 to 2006), Manchester United (from 2006 to 2009 and from 2021 to 2022), Real Madrid (from 2009 to 2018), and Juventus (from 2018 to 2021). As one of the best goal-scorers in the world, the Portuguese forward only confirmed his reputation after joining the Saudi Arabian club in January 2023. Since then, CR7 has achieved impressive results playing in different domestic leagues:

The 39-year-old legend is still going strong at his age, showing no signs of slowing down. Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr is about to expire in the summer of 2025, so we have enough time to enjoy his performance and probably even witness Cristiano smashing new records for the Saudi Arabian club.
