Ronaldo told the publication that this upcoming season is likely his last on the pitch after 25 years of sacrifice.
He noted that he wants to stay busy after hanging up his boots because football can leave a major void.
“This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy,” he told Vogue, saying his future after football was all mapped out.
“I have so many things to keep me busy that to tell you just one thing is hard,” he said, listing travel and padel among his favourite activities.
“Because football could leave a big hole, you have to fill your time in various ways, not just one,” said the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward.

No dey whine yourself.
World cup 2030 and 2034 is your next assignment.
in 2030, you’ll be 45 and full of vitality, and by 2034, you’ll be a young, agile 49 yrs of age.
You go play dis ball until your legs fall off.
Too big to be benched, yet he’s a short one. Portugal would definitely have done much better if they had a younger striker leading the line.
The only way to get rid of this guy is to use koboko to pursue him from Portugal camp.
Otherwise, e no go gree commot.
Leave my GOAT alone oh lol. It’s a bit sad hell be too old to grace the next world cup co hosted by his country sha.
Too old ke? Rona is like fine wine, he keeps getting better with age.
I see him still kitting up for Portugal games at age 60.
It might even get to the point where he will enter the field with a walking stick, holding his ancient waist. Hahahahaha!
@pompei, Portugal case will be far better with Ronaldo. I pity Agentina seriously, that country will look more than ordinary after Messi retire and it will take them another 30years before they will get use to game without Messi.
Hahaha, Wike, that is a very wiked comment.
Argentina have already cried enough at the world cup. Please do not make them cry more!
