Cristiano Ronaldo: Vinicius was the real Ballon d’Or winner

Cristiano Ronaldo says Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior should have beaten Manchester City’s Rodri to the Ballon d’Or award.

What’s next for Cristiano Ronaldo? The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, now 39, is out of contract at Saudi club Al Nassr next summer. This means that as of January 1, he is free to negotiate with another team and sign a pre-contract if he wishes. Ronaldo has not yet made any concrete statement about his future plans, but there are enough hints to get an idea of ​​his thinking. For one thing, retirement doesn’t appear to be on the agenda, at least in the short term. Ronaldo discussed the topic last month, saying that “If it has to happen, in a year or two… as long as I feel motivated, I’ll keep going.”

A source of motivation – and a reason to sign a new deal with Al Nassr – could be winning the Saudi Pro League, something he failed to do in his first two seasons in the Middle East. Al Nassr are currently fourth in the table, 11 points behind leaders Al Ittihad, so there is no guarantee they will break through in 2024-25. And would Ronaldo really want to leave Saudi Arabia without a league title?

The financial package that Ronaldo receives in Saudi would be difficult, if not impossible, to compare anywhere else. But if – and this is a big one – those financial considerations can be put aside, are there some options that could prove attractive, such as a return to his roots with Sporting Clube de Portugal? Then, when the time came for him to retire, Ronaldo reiterated at last week’s Globe Soccer Awards that he was “never going to coach” but remained open to the possibility of owning a club if the right opportunity presented itself.
