Is Cristiano Ronaldo retiring? Rio Ferdinand drops major hint

Cristiano Ronaldo could drop a sudden surprise to fans, believes Rio Ferdinand

Even though Cristiano Ronaldo went goalless in Euro2024, he still has his eyes set on the World Cup 2026. A similar scenario happened for the Al-Nassr forward after a tough 2022 World Cup and has since, left Europe.

In a quarter-final that fell out of hand for Portugal in penalties, which led to elimination against France at the Euro 2024, Roberto Martinez shared in the post-match interview on Ronaldo’s future saying, “It’s too raw to discuss that right now.”

As per media reports on Portugal’s exit, the captain has yet to make any retirement decision and has a solid two to three years of game time ahead of himself. The ex-Real Madrid star has six Euros and four World Cups to his name and also holds the record as Portugal’s most-capped player.
