Ronaldo Hints This Season Could Be His Last

Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked speculation about his retirement plans after saying the coming season will probably be his last.

The 41-year-old captain of Portugal is one of the most celebrated players of all time. Since making his senior debut for Sporting in 2002, he has won major trophies with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and his current club, Al-Nassr.

"This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy", Ronaldo said in an interview with the lifestyle magazine Vogue, published on Sunday.

Over a career spanning more than two decades, the forward has scored 976 goals for club and country.

"I have my future all mapped out", he said. "I have so many things to keep me busy that to tell you just one thing is hard. Because football could leave a big hole, you have to fill your time in various ways, not just one."
