Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted the 2026-27 campaign will "probably" be his last in football. The Manchester United icon, who has often looked like he could play forever, has seemingly put a cap on when his time in the sport will be over.
Retirement plan revealed
Speaking in a recent interview, Ronaldo said his future is "all mapped out," suggesting he has a clear plan for his exit from the game. The statement comes as a surprise to many fans who expected the forward to continue for several more years.
What it means
If confirmed, the 2026-27 season would mark the end of one of the most decorated careers in football history. Ronaldo has won numerous league titles and Champions League trophies, and has broken multiple scoring records.
The 41-year-old has not specified what he will do after retiring, but his comments indicate he is ready to step away at the end of the upcoming campaign.
