‘Ronaldo will stop when he wants to’ – Dimitar Berbatov gives his verdict on when Cristiano Ronaldo will retire
Manchester United legend Dimita Berbatov believes former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo can continue to perform at the highest level for the next two to three years.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been in fine form for Al Nasr this season, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 11 appearances in all competitions. In addition, he also played 7 times for the Portuguese team in the 2024 European Cup qualifiers and scored 9 times.
Cristiano Ronaldo also recently surpassed Erling Haaland to become the top scorer for club and country in 2023 with 40 goals.
Berbatov told Betfair (pass Target):
“Ronaldo stops when he wants to. When you look after yourself like he does and surround yourself with a team like him, the chances of playing longer than expected become greater.”
“As far as Cristiano is concerned, I think he has a chance to play for another two or three years. People will say he plays in a slower league, not as good as the Premier League, but that doesn’t matter.”
I’ve added:
“He is still proving his quality, especially with his recent performances and goals in Portugal. He helped Portugal qualify for Euro 2024 and, of course, one day his last game will come, but we are now Don’t think about it yet.”
“Let’s just let him be and I’m sure he will surprise us with another decision soon. At the moment, Cristiano is going strong so we need to enjoy watching him until he decides to suffer enough.”
Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play for Al-Nassr until early 2027, according to reports. This could mean he will play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup before retiring at the age of 41.
