There are players who transcend borders and mark eras, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who would have changed his mind when considering his retirement. Still active in Al Nassr and the Portugal national team, the 38-year-old star had previously (last September) promised to continue playing at the highest level until at least 2024 and insisted that the journey of his playing career has not yet been completed. It was finished. Now, From Saudi Arabia his desire to renew and extend his legacy for more years transcended.
The highest scoring striker of all time, no matter how physically fit he is, will one day hang up his boots, but his decision would not be immediate and El Bicho would aim all his guns at competing in the 2026 World Cup, with headquarters shared between the United States, Mexico and Canada. Yes, the record man is going for another mark.
As The Mirror warned, the Commander rejected the first idea of culminating his career in the Euro 2024 and is in negotiations with the Riyadh club to extend its link in the Arab league until 2027the date on which, at 42 years old, he would put an end to one of the most successful paths in sport, with 726 goals (450 in Real Madrid, 346 in Manchester United, 134 with Juventus, 31 in Sporting Lisbon and 30 at the moment in Al Nassr) and 33 titles, at the team level.
CR7 has scored a total of 123 goals for the Portuguese team in 201 international matches. He is the captain and won two trophies (Euro 2016 and the Nations League 2019). In the last World Cup held in Qatar, he left in the quarterfinals (he was eliminated by Morocco) and his main objective would be to pass Rafa Márquez, Antonio Carbajal and Lothar Matthäus (all retired, except Messi), the only ones who managed to play in five World Cup matches. World. Ronaldo was previously in Qatar, Russia 2018, Brazil 2014, South Africa 2010 and Germany 2006.

“Cristiano Ronaldo informed the management of the Saudi club Al Nassr, before his trip to the Portuguese national team camp, that he wants to renew his contract until the beginning of 2027. Cristiano wants to play in the 2026 World Cup while he is a player for the Al-Nassr Club , and then he will announce his retirement from football,” the communicator Al-Harbi stated on his Twitter account, also replicated by the main European newspapers.
The British media cited phrases from Cristiano’s past to reject the hypothesis that seeks to equate Messi with a World Cup win by saying: “Even if I win the World Cup, that will continue. Some people liked me more, others less. “It’s like in life, some like blondes, others like brunettes.”
Cristiano returns with Portugal.
“I’ve always had to show what I can do year after year. I would love to win this tournament. I’m ambitious, but if you tell me I won’t win any more tournaments, I’ll be happy for everything I’ve won. All the other records will be in the history books. But, obviously, having a World Cup on the shelves wouldn’t be bad. It would be a dream,” El Bicho said some time ago, who dreams of, at least, being present in 2026.
Al Nassr would renew Cristiano.
With a title won in Al Nassr, it is difficult for the Saudis not to want to extend the bond that expires in 2025. It is not difficult for Ronaldo to continue playing until he is 41 years old if he manages to maintain his physical condition. This season he has 10 goals and five assists in just eight games.
