Cristiano Ronaldo has strongly hinted that the 2026–27 season will be the last of his career, the end of which will mark a quarter of a century since debuting for Sporting CP at 17 years old.
Ronaldo turns 42 in February and has a contract until June with Al Nassr, who start the new Saudi Pro League campaign on Saturday as reigning champions by beating Al Fateh without the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. He has only just returned from a summer break that included his marriage to long-term partner Georgina Rodríguez in a small ceremony in Portugal.
