The professional football career of Cristiano Ronaldo appears to be nearing its conclusion. In a recent interview with Vogue published this Sunday (16), the Portuguese star indicated that the upcoming period could be his final year in the sport. During the discussion, which also covered details regarding his marriage to Georgina Rodríguez, Ronaldo expressed a desire to leave behind a spectacular legacy as he transitions away from the pitch.
While Ronaldo had previously confirmed that the most recent World Cup was the final one of his career, he had maintained uncertainty regarding exactly when he would definitively retire. Addressing his future plans, the forward stated that he intends to dedicate more time to his family once his playing days are over. He noted that he has many interests to keep him occupied, acknowledging that leaving football could create a significant void that will need to be filled through various activities. He plans to travel more and spend time playing padel, a sport he enjoys, while reflecting on his 25-year career of sacrifice.
One remaining milestone that the forward is expected to chase before his official retirement is reaching 1,000 career goals. Currently, Ronaldo has recorded 976 goals throughout his professional tenure.
