Portuguese soccer legend and billionaire Cristiano Ronaldo said this would "probably" be his last year playing the sport professionally, hinting he planned to end his 24-year career in which he became the world's highest paid athlete.
The billionaire soccer star has been the highest-paid athlete in the world for the last four years.
In a sprawling interview with Vogue focusing on his recent nuptials with longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, the former star forward for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus said "this is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy."
Ronaldo, 41, also insisted he had his future "all mapped out," which will include having "more fun," spending time with his family of five children, traveling and playing padel.
Ronaldo previously announced the most recent FIFA World Cup would be his last, telling reporters he was leaving the tournament with a "clear conscience" after Portugal fell to Spain during the round of 16—after playing in the last five editions without getting farther than finishing in fourth place during his first World Cup in 2006.
