“The Day I Don’t Feel Motivated, I Will Retire” – Ronaldo Hints at Future Plans
Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up about his retirement plans, stating that his decision will depend on whether he feels motivated to continue playing.
The 39-year-old forward made this statement after delivering a stellar performance in Portugal’s 5-1 victory over Poland in the UEFA Nations League.
Ronaldo scored twice during the match, bringing his incredible career goal tally to 910.
The game also marked Ronaldo’s 215th international appearance, reinforcing his status as the most capped player in men’s football history.
His two goals added to his record-breaking 135 international goals, solidifying his position as the top scorer in international football.
Speaking about his future, Ronaldo said, “I just want to enjoy my football for as long as I can.
Retirement? It could be in a year or two, I’m not sure.
I’ll be 40 soon, and I want to make the most of the time I have left on the pitch.
The day I wake up and no longer feel motivated, that’s the day I’ll stop.”
Ronaldo, popular for his extraordinary work ethic and relentless drive, the Al-Nassr forward has set a standard that few can match.
His ability to maintain peak performance even at the age of 39 has been nothing short of remarkable.
Over his illustrious career, Ronaldo has won numerous titles and awards, including five Ballon d’Ors and multiple Champions League trophies.
He has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.
Currently, he is showcasing his skills in the Saudi Pro League, where he continues to dominate the field.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
