The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is taking a well-deserved break at age 39, looking to recharge after a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign where he failed to score—a first in his illustrious career. Despite this setback, Ronaldo had a stellar season with Al-Nassr, netting 50 goals in the Saudi Pro League, and he’s set to return for the 2024-25 season.
Currently, Ronaldo is on holiday with his children and partner, Georgina Rodriguez, enjoying some sun while staying fit with light training. He’s also embracing the global craze of padel, playing the sport on a small court. A recent social media post even showed him sporting a cap from his former club, Sporting CP.
Ronaldo started his career at Sporting’s academy before moving to Manchester United in 2003. There’s been speculation about him potentially returning to where it all began before he eventually retires.
