Cristiano Ronaldo don finally open up about wetin go happen for e football future, and from wetin e talk, e be like say the GOAT dey prepare to hang boot soon. The Al-Nassr and Portugal star, wey don reach 40 years, yarn this one for one special interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo no be small player — e don score 952 career goals, play for England, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and e country Portugal. E don dominate football for over two decades, from Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al-Nassr. But as e body don reach that age, the man wey be definition of hard work don finally hint say retirement no too far again.
Ronaldo Don Drop Hint Say Retirement Dey Come Soon
For the interview wey Fabrizio Romano share, Ronaldo talk say e don dey prepare for this phase of e life for long. E words clear and emotional:
“Soon. But I think I will be prepared,” na wetin Ronaldo tell Piers Morgan. “It will be tough, of course. It will be difficult? Yes. Probably I will cry, yes… I’m an open person. It will be very, very difficult.”
Ronaldo come continue say e don dey ready for this transition since e dey around 25 to 27 years old — meaning say e no just dey play ball blindly. The man dey plan im post-football life from early. That one no surprise anybody wey know how Ronaldo dey think; e be planner, competitor, and perfectionist.
Even as retirement don dey near, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner still dey bang goals steady. For age 40, e still dey prove say e fitness and mentality still top level. E no just dey play for the money or fame again — na pride, discipline, and legacy dey push am.
Ronaldo Fit Still Chase 1000 Goals Before E Retire
One reason wey fit delay Ronaldo from hanging boot sharp sharp na the milestone of 1000 goals. With almost 950+ goals already, e go only need few more seasons to break that insane record — and knowing Ronaldo, e go want finish strong.
Even though football no be only about stats, e be like say e still dey chase that final number wey go cement e name as the most prolific goalscorer wey the sport don ever see. For e mind, e go reason say if e reach 1000, nobody fit argue legacy again.
Ronaldo Fit Still Wait Make E Play 2026 World Cup
Another possible reason wey fit make the GOAT delay retirement na the 2026 FIFA World Cup wey go happen for North America. E don already play five World Cups — 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 — and this next one fit be e final shot at the only major trophy wey e never win.
Portugal get solid squad now — Bruno Fernandes, Rafael Leão, João Félix, Bernardo Silva — and if dem gel well, dem fit shock the world. Ronaldo go wan bow out on the biggest stage possible, maybe even with the trophy in hand. That kind ending go sweet die, especially after seeing e rival Lionel Messi lift am for 2022.
But World Cup football no get guarantee. Portugal never pass quarter-final since 2006, so e go require big miracle and total team effort if Ronaldo wan end e career as world champion.
Wet the Future Hold for Ronaldo After Football
Make no mistake — Ronaldo no be person wey go retire and disappear. E don already get CR7 brand, hotels, gyms, fashion lines, fragrance, and e even dey reason coaching badges and ambassadorial roles. E go still dey around the game one way or another. The man no fit sit still.
For now, the football world dey watch closely. Whether e stop after 2026 or push till e hit 1000 goals, one thing sure — when Ronaldo finally hang boot, football go pause that day. The end of an era go truly arrive.
