Alan Shearer Says Ronaldo Will Decide When to Retire Not Portugal or Any Club
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has weighed in on Cristiano Ronaldo’s future, saying the Portuguese star won’t be pushed into retirement — not by Portugal, not by anyone. With the 2026 World Cup around the corner, Shearer believes the 40-year-old remains in control of when and how he bows out of international football, even if he’s no longer at the peak of his powers.
Ronaldo’s time at Al-Nassr also appears to be winding down, with his contract expiring at the end of June. The forward recently hinted that his chapter with the Saudi club may be closed, sparking fresh rumours about his next destination. Despite all that, Ronaldo continues to be a key figure for Portugal under Roberto Martinez and shows no signs of slowing down on the international scene.
Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said, “He’s not what he used to be — that’s natural at his age — but he’s still going and still finding the net. Portugal won’t drop him. When he stops, it’ll be because he decided it’s time.” As for what’s next, the football world is watching closely, with multiple clubs reportedly interested in snapping him up if he leaves Al-Nassr this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on his son’s future and football career after watching his training sessions.
He spoke about his 16-year-old son “He’s a good kid. Honest, a good kid. The others are tougher. The ones I have at home, the younger ones. This one is no problem. The others…”
“When I was his age, he was a bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I believe he will be bigger than me in size. The hunger is the most challenging aspect.”
Footballers João Pedro and Moisés Caicedo have shared their thoughts on the recent transfer of former Brighton player Danny Welbeck.
It can be noted that Welbeck recently completed a move to Stamford Bridge. Pedro shared “This will mark the third occasion we have played together, and I believe, just as he did for me previously, he will extend his support to everyone in the squad. Danny embodies that spirit; he is incredibly helpful and genuinely wishes the best for everyone around him and for the team.
“It is well-known that he is an exceptional player. I am eager to play alongside him once more, and I believe he will be a tremendous asset to our group.”
Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.
He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”
“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
