Star Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo opened up regarding his retirement from professional football, stating that Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr would be his last.
The star footballer, in an interview with a Portuguese channel NOW, revealed that his retirement decision from the national football team would be spontaneous and he would not share it with anyone.
“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,” said Ronaldo.
“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.”
“At the moment, I’m not thinking about being a coach of the first team or any team. It doesn’t even cross my mind, I’ve never thought about it. I don’t see my future going through that. I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows what the future holds.”

‘I’m very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I’m happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue.’ he added.
