Ronaldo is currently 38 years old, and in February he will be older. This means that Ronaldo is getting older in his football career.  However, in Asia there are many foreign players who are still playing even though they are 40 years old. Apart from that, there are not many choices for Ronaldo other than staying with Al Nassr. After all, he currently plays center forward and is only the Target Man as a goal scoring machine. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem, even though as you get older, performance declines will occur.

I remember the words of his former teammate at Manchester United, Ronney, who said that age will never be forgotten and our performance and quality will decline. Fortunately, Ronaldo is an athlete who is always disciplined in maintaining his fitness. At his current age, he always seems to be in good shape even though it is clear that sometimes he feels tired of playing the full 90 minutes. Apart from that, the schedule in the Saudi Pro League is not as tight as in the European League. This means that players aged 30+ in this competition are not as drained of stamina as when they were still playing in the European League competition. Likewise with Ronaldo, he can even be a little more flexible with the services provided by his teammates. As we know, Al Nassr is a team that has more foreign and star players. So the point is, it is possible that Ronaldo will continue to play in this competition until he is over 40+. After all, his contract with Al Nassr is until 2025. and most likely, he will end his football career in this competition.

I think he did his job very well because during the time when Ronaldo joined Al Nassr Saudi Arabia changed a lot and they now got much more chances to hire superstar players from other European teams.
In fact, he helped Al Nassr and other Saudi teams more than he should have helped as a palyer. I think Saudi Arabia should thank Ronaldo for it.
However, I think if he had a better performance than this, he would never have joined Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo have no plans to leave Al Nassr currently, he's keen on lifting major trophies for the club, he's an outstanding big name in the club, he brought alot of influence to Saudi Pro League when he signed for Al Nassr. Ronaldo retiring will definitely bring boredom to some football lovers especially his die-hard fans would love and admired him with all their hearts. Pressing concerns, Football will never be the same when these two GOATs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi retired from football, everything will changed but with time things will always fall back in place.

With Cr7 no longer young, of course he will end his career at Al Nassr. It is unimaginable that without CR7's presence, the Arab League would not be as exciting as it is now. I don't know, after CR7 retires from football, maybe the Arab League will fade away again. Because we know that during his time in the SPL he made a lot of changes, he was really great wherever he played, all eyes and media were on him and automatically the Arab League is now broadcast all over the world, even European and American audiences. switch to the Arab league.

I also agree with you, when he retires from football maybe he will continue his career as a coach. The signs that he can become a great coach can be seen when he is off the field, always giving encouragement to the team that is playing.

Imagining when a star player like Ronaldo retires will make us all sad because his reliability is highly recognized and the history that other players will never have really makes us always remember the name CR7.
But we won't dwell too much on sadness, even if we don't know when Ronaldo will decide to leave Al Nasr and decide to retire, in the long term I'm sure Ronaldo will try to become a coach to continue his career in football even if he changes profession to become a coach and not a player anymore.

Cristiano Ronaldo will probably retire at Al Nassr now. Yes, we know that he made long-term agreements to promote Saudi Arabia. Considering that he receives extra payment for each message promoting Saudi Arabia, it seems unlikely that Ronaldo will leave Saudi Arabia for a long time.

Ronaldo contract will ended at 2025 which mean when he reach to 40 years old and if Al Nassr really extended his contract to 2027 which mean Ronaldo will be at this team until 42 years old and it's almost impossible for Ronaldo to return and playing to Europa with that age and i think Ronaldo decision when he want to staying and ended his career with Al Nassr is good moved because with this team he still can able to playing regularly and the most important is Ronaldo can earn huge money which is he wouldn't get it when he playing at European teams so earn more money before retired is good idea besides that Saudi Pro League is more competitive now after the arrival plenty of talented players which transfered from European teams and this make Ronaldo can able to managed his fitness because before retired Ronaldo want to playing at world cup 2026

Talking about Ronldo's retirement, I honestly feel a sense of loss, yes I have seen how his journey from Sporting to now being in the Arab League with Al Nassr, and in the not too distant future we will most likely hear an official announcement about him retiring.
One thing I'm waiting for is whether he's interested in staying in a football environment other than being a plyer, or if he's interested in becoming a coach, then we'll see the different roles he'll play. And that would be great to see.

Yeah Ronaldo performance in the world cup will probably not be good, considering his age. So yes, "it's better to exit the stage when the ovation is still high". Because he will be remembered as a good player, when he retires. By the way, without Ronaldo the performance of Portugal national team was better in the last match, they recorded a lot of score and it was also a new history for the Portugal national team winning with a big score.

It's true that no Europe team would want to give him a chance to participate in active football up until that age as he will most definitely drop in his performance drastically, the age factor cannot be overlooked, Europe definitely wants vibrant and young minds who can deliver results as football in Europe is pure business and the investors there wouldn't want to risk it with an old player like him.

I think him wanting to play one more world cup tournament before retirement is not really ideal for him as he will not be giving out the best of performance by 2026, he will be 39 by then and he will definitely not have enough stamina to play full 90mins, his impact might not be felt all that in the games and it's very possible he may not have what it takes to lead the Portuguese to the finals or win the title so I really don't see a point.

Except he just wants to participate for the last time for records and lastly retiring at age 40 from active football is aswell not ideal because he will definitely be giving out poor performance that will make him of lesser value so it's better he retires while he is still valued with all he has achieved, it's better to exit the stage when the ovation is still high.

Ronaldo's contract will end in 2027 if I'm not mistaken, so it's impossible for European clubs to pay a lot for him at this time. European football also needs younger and more energetic players because the competition there is much tougher than in the Saudi Arabian League. Ronaldo does have appeal as an influential figure in the world of football and as a sportsman he certainly has many followers on social media, so the influence on the club will be much greater to make money from the business they run there.

The chances of Ronaldo returning to play in Europe are very small and I am sure Al-Nassr will not let go of their assets. Ronaldo's presence at the club can increase their income quite significantly and they will definitely protect Ronaldo from leaving for another club next season.

Hahaha
You mentioned in the Bundesliga that the Saudi Pro League is better than among the European leagues, and you fail to mention French League 1, because I know that the German Bundesliga is more competitive than French League 1.

However, after Cristiano Ronaldo's signing in the January transfer window of the previous season and the effort most teams in the league made to sign a few elite players for European teams, the Saudi Pro League has actually improved. The league is currently incredibly competitive to the point that it may be compared to other European elite leagues like League 1 and the Bundesliga since they have attracted more attention and recognition in the league.

Apart from getting a fantastic salary from Al-Nassr, Ronaldo's real main goal is to help promote this country to many people around the world and it's natural because from the start Saudi Arabia wanted to be the host of the world cup that year. As a famous footballer, his influence is certainly very large and I think anyone will be attracted to Saudi Arabia in completing future cooperation agreements. His contract is quite short to be at Al-Nassr but it is certain that Saudi Arabia will make another offer so that he wants to stay in Saudi Arabia and being an ambassador is unlikely to be as expensive as his current salary. That is the right choice for the future and Ronaldo will definitely not hesitate to accept it.

seeing that he is now almost 40 years old, of course he will thinks about continuing his career in the Saudi Pro League untils he really retires because it can be feared that if he continues to get old it will be difficult to maintain his strength continuously and he will need a break from the world of football.
Ronaldo will continue to be remember even though his career in footballs will end because he has becomed a big starts in world footballs competition.
even though he is currently 38 years old his performance is still goods and he has created many goal for Al-Nassr last seasons and currently he has scoreds 10 goal in 8 match, which is enough to proved thats Ronaldo current age is not a bigges problem.

My husband and I even stood up from our seats when CR7 scored a goal in the 65th minute which was actually in the Offside position. But because maybe I expected CR7 to score a goal in that match, I even felt annoyed because it turned out to be offside.

Al-Nassr still has to be grateful for being ranked 3rd in the current standings. Because actually Al-Nassr continues to rise in rankings slowly every week. And I hope Al-Nassr can continue their good performance and can stand at the top of the standings in the end.
The next match against Damac might be more difficult. But I am optimistic that Al-Nassr will collect 3 points.

He is like an ambassador for the selection of Saudi Arabia as the organizer of the 2030 World Cup it seems that this can be seen when he continues to say good things about the league in which he is currently playing, but of course he will not continue playing until the announcement of the country selected for the next World Cup. because as far as I know he only has a two season contract at Al Nassr and then of course his duties will be different.
And Ronaldo moving from the Saudi Pro league to another league or club I don't think that will happen and this league will be the place where he will announce his retirement as a footballer.

LOL.. for me, the quality of Saudi Professional League as of now is much better than many of the European leagues. You may not be able to compare with leagues such as the English Premier League, but SPL is definitely at the level (or even better than) of Bundesliga or Eredivisie. So there is no valid argument in claiming that Ronaldo is not participating in tough competitions. But I can agree with you on one point. Only the four teams sponsored by Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) has star players with them. Remaining 14 teams are mostly made of local players, with the exception of a few such as Al-Ettifaq and Al-Taawoun.

It would be extremely surprising if Ronaldo decided to play for one more club. I mean what club could that be? I think that he has a long-term agreement not only with Al-Nassr, but with Saudi Arabia and how he can represent the country until they will finally host the World Cup. I can't remember what the exact wording was, but I think his role as an ambassador has been discussed publicly before. Maybe I am wrong, but I think there were some talks about his long-term commitment to promoting Saudi Arabia. I am sure they offered him a retirement-like plan financially.

I think, it doesn't seem to be a problem if Ronaldo will still play, because it looks like Al Nassr is also ready to keep Ronaldo until he finally retire. Because anyway, the consideration is, if Al Nassr is not ready to retain and or pay Ronaldo until retirement, then maybe Ronaldo will also retire in the near future . But ya, as I said earlier, if Al Nassr is ready to retain Ronaldo, then of course Ronaldo which wishes in such a way will certainly still be realized here in the Saudi Pro League . But even so, maybe I will more interesting to looking forward to Ronaldo playing again in the World Cup for the last time. Because anyway, it seems not will be easy for Ronaldo plays in the World Cup, because Ronaldo is no longer used to the tough competition like what happens in the big leagues in Europe.

Them losing these points means a lot more than they think .There are other good teams on the league this season and they can't keep losing points to these type of teams. Like if they lost to Al Ahli nobody would say a thing, that makes sense and the yare a good team and you could lose points to them, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up seeing them do that greatly in any other way, we are going to end up seeing them do a lot better.

I feel like the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that they are going to end up with getting points from tougher teams. When you lose to a small team, then you do not leave any other choice but to make sure that you end up with beating bigger clubs to make them lose points on weeks you gain points.
