The 38-year-old revealed in an interview reported by renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, that he may play for another ten years.

“The moment I feel I’m done, I'll retire… maybe in 10 years?!”.

Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, recently won the 2023 Globe Soccer's Maradona Award for being the top goal scorer in the year 2023 for both club and country.

His talent was quickly spotted by Sir Alex Ferguson in a friendly, and Manchester United signed him at 18 in 2003 for around £12 million.

Ronaldo went on to get acknowledgment through his skillful play at Old Trafford as he went on to become one of the best players in the world very early in his career.

His career only, moved ahead when he moved to Spain to join Real Madrid and gave rise to a legendary sporting rivalry with Lionel Messi, scoring goals after goals and breaking multiple records with Los Blancos.

Ronaldo moved to Juventus in 2018 before returning to Manchester United three years later.

He had to leave his boyhood club after a second stint on a toxic note midway through a disappointing season before joining Al-Nassr in 2023.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has helped the Saudi club to reach massive popularity as the veteran footballer continues to maintain a high level as he scored 54 goals last year.
