Cristiano Ronaldo is named in Portugal’s squad for the Nations League, according to reports. Multiple outlets note that the 41-year-old’s inclusion comes after comments made last month suggesting he may be in the final stage of his playing career.
Both sources describe Ronaldo’s remarks as a hint that this could be his last season. The wording reported varies slightly, with one outlet saying he expected it to be “probably” his final season, while another frames his comments as an indication that he is in the final year of his football career. Despite those hints, the squad selection proceeds for the Nations League matches.
The coverage focuses on the contrast between his reported retirement indications and his continued availability for international competition. Neither source provides details on match participation or any formal retirement announcement, concentrating instead on the squad call-up and the implications of his earlier comments.
