Cristiano Ronaldo admits Al-Nassr is likely to be final club of his career

Cristiano Ronaldo admits Al-Nassr is likely to be final club of his career

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that Al-Nassr will "probably" be the final club of his career.

The football legend made the move to the Saudi Pro League side in 2022 and confirmed that his playing days are likely to draw to a close in the Middle East.

Speaking to the Portuguese TV channel Now, Ronaldo said: "I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years, but probably I will retire here at Al-Nassr.

"I'm happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I'm happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue."

Ronaldo also revealed that he is keen to continue his Portugal career after scoring a record 130 goals for his country and will make a "spontaneous decision" to stop playing at international level.

He said: "When I leave the national team, I won't tell anyone in advance and it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a very well thought-out one.

"Right now what I want is to be able to help the national team in their upcoming matches.

"We have the Nations League ahead of us and I would really like to play."

Meanwhile, Ronaldo is set to receive an award from UEFA for scoring the most goals in Champions League history - 140 in 183 appearances - when the draw for this season's group stage is made later this week.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the brightest stars in the UEFA Champions League constellation.

"His extraordinary goal-scoring achievements in the competition seem destined to stand the test of time, posing a remarkable challenge for future generations to surpass."
