He had half-heartedly mentioned a potential retirement in 2025, but that will be for later: Cristiano Ronaldo will extend his contract. The deadline he sets for himself now seems obvious.
The year 2024 of Cristiano Ronaldo is far from having been that of a player at the end of his career: the Portuguese scored 17 goals in 20 matches in the Saudi Pro League, confirming that even if he is paid ruby on nail, he is not on vacation in Saudi Arabia.
However, in a month, CR7 will be 40 years old and one would have thought that the end of his career was in the pipeline. This is not the case: the Saudi media Al Khabar announces that Ronaldo would have accepted a fantastic offer from Al-Ittihad. In reality, an offer similar to the previous one: 200 million euros annually for an extension until 2026.
Such an extension should bring Cristiano Ronaldo until he is 41 years old and a few months from what looks more and more like his last objective: the 2026 World Cup. If he competes for it, CR7 will become the absolute record holder for the number of World Cups contested with six tournaments – a record that he would share with Lionel Messi if the Argentinian also goes that far.
Unimaginable that Ronaldo would take the risk of seeing his lifelong rival steal this record from him too: if the five-time Ballon d’Or continues until 2026, he will be in the United States for one last (?) dance.
