Cristiano Ronaldo says the next stage of his career may be his final one, suggesting he could retire after the 2026/27 season or at the end of 2026. Multiple reports describe him making comments about his playing future while also framing his goal as creating what he calls a “spectacular legacy.”
The coverage is consistent that Ronaldo is 41 and is currently playing for Al-Nassr. Both outlets note his long career, spanning more than two decades, and his major honours with clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and with Portugal.
While the reports use slightly different timelines—one pointing to the 2026/27 season and another referencing the end of 2026—they describe the same overall message: Ronaldo is signalling a possible retirement timeframe and is looking ahead to how his final chapter will be remembered.
