Will CR7 Retire? What Ronaldo's Future Really Looks Like

Is Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Nearing the End?

Honestly, this question hits harder than I expected. I grew up watching Ronaldo break records like it was nothing. I still remember that insane header against Sampdoria — the one where he literally floated. Now, watching him at Al-Nassr, there’s this weird feeling: admiration mixed with... dread. Like, is this it?

I talked to my friend Marcus last week (massive CR7 fan, has the Juventus jersey framed and everything), and he just sighed and said, “I think he's holding on, but it won’t be forever.” And yeah, that kind of stuck with me.

So let’s unpack this: will CR7 retire soon, or is the GOAT still planning one more twist in the tale?

Physical Fitness: Still a Beast at 39

Training harder than guys half his age

Say what you want, but this man’s body is a machine. At 39, he's still ripped, still sprinting, still scoring. I’ve seen 25-year-olds in worse shape, seriously. His commitment to fitness is borderline obsessive (in a good way).

A few years ago, I tried following his training for a week. Let’s just say my legs gave up on day three. But Ronaldo? He’s been doing this for two decades, every damn day.

But age does creep in

Now, here's the catch — even Ronaldo can’t cheat time. His explosiveness isn’t what it was at Real Madrid. You can see it. His minutes are managed more carefully. And yeah, he's in the Saudi League now, not the Champions League.

It’s not criticism. It’s just... life. No one can outrun 40, not even CR7.

Is He Still Motivated?

That unquenchable hunger

You know what’s wild? The guy still wants more. More goals, more trophies, more everything. He even said once in an interview, “I will retire when my body tells me. Not the critics.” Classic Ronaldo.

And you can feel that fire. He’s not here for a payday. He still celebrates every goal like it’s the World Cup final. He’s mentoring young players. He’s pushing for Euro 2024 with Portugal. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s ready to call it quits tomorrow.

But maybe... it’s evolving?

Okay, hear me out. Maybe Ronaldo isn’t chasing goals like before — maybe he's now chasing legacy. Mentorship. Influence. I saw him talking to a 19-year-old teammate after a match, just casually giving him advice, like a big brother.

I never thought I’d say this, but... maybe CR7 is slowly shifting into a new role. Less Superman, more sensei. And honestly? That’s kinda awesome.

What Would Retirement Even Look Like for Him?

It won’t be quiet, that’s for sure

This is Ronaldo we’re talking about. He’s not going to retire with a quick Instagram post and vanish into a golf course in Marbella. Nah. There will be tears, documentaries, probably a stadium tribute tour across five countries.

I joked with Marcus that CR7’s retirement announcement will crash the internet. Like, literally. Expect fireworks. And maybe a final friendly match in Madeira, just to bring it all full circle.

Will he go into coaching or business?

He’s already got his brand — CR7 is massive. Hotels, underwear, fragrances. He doesn’t need football anymore. But I’ve got a gut feeling: he’ll stay close. Coaching? Maybe. National team ambassador? For sure.

But yeah... imagining Ronaldo in a tracksuit on the sidelines? Weird. Still, never say never.

So, Will CR7 Retire Soon?

Honestly… I don’t know. And that’s kind of the magic. One day, it’ll just happen. And we’ll all pretend we were ready, but we won’t be.

My guess? He’ll stick around through Euro 2024, maybe a final season to say goodbye properly. Then? He walks away on his own terms — not because he had to, but because he chose to.

And when he does... man, it’s gonna hurt. But what a ride it’s been, right?

So yeah, CR7 will retire. But not just yet. Let’s enjoy the last chapters of this legend — before they become history.
