Cristiano Ronaldo says Al Nassr will ‘probably’ be his last football club

Fans believe that Al Nassr star’s record-breaking YouTube channel may be a hint at his post-football life

Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, in a recent interview, revealed that his current club, Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr, will “probably” be his last football club before hangs his boots.

“I don’t know if I will retire soon, in two or three years… but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr,” Ronaldo told Portuguese TV channel NOW.

“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.”

Ronaldo’s remarks follow the record-breaking launch of his YouTube channel — reaching one million subscribers within 90 minutes — which fans believe to be a hint at the five-time Ballon d’Or award winner’s post-football life.

At 39, Ronaldo has already surpassed many fans’ expectations of how long he would continue playing professional football.

However, when he does retire, fans might not even find out.

“When I leave the national team, I will not tell anyone; it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part,” Ronaldo said.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus star has played down the prospect of becoming a coach.

“At the moment, I’m not thinking about being a coach of the first team or any team,” he added. “It doesn’t even cross my mind, I’ve never thought about it. I don’t see my future going through that.”

“What I want now is to be able to help the national team,” Ronaldo said as he gears up for his national team’s upcoming Nations League games under Roberto Martinez.

“I see myself doing other things outside of football, but only God knows what the future holds,” he said.
