Former Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham sees no reason why his fellow Red Devils legend Cristiano Ronaldo could not join Lionel Messi in MLS at some stage. The 1999 Treble winner has told GOAL when CR7 could go chasing the American dream, how far beyond the age of 42 the Portuguese GOAT will play, and whether his goals numbers will ever be repeated.
Work has been completed on what could become Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s retirement home, with a stunning €25 million (£22m/$30m) mansion - which is considered to be the “biggest” in Portugal - boasting a spa, private cinema and views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is yet to be determined whether CR7 will actually move into the property.
Angel Di Maria admits that Cristiano Ronaldo’s professionalism is “by far” greater than that of Lionel Messi, but the former Real Madrid star still considers his fellow Argentine to be the GOAT having been given “a gift from God to be the best”. World Cup winner Di Maria has also been discussing who he considers to be the finest player on the planet in 2026.
Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a loved-up message to fiancee Georgina Rodriguez on the occasion of her 32nd birthday. The Argentine-Spanish influencer and entrepreneur has been back in the United States paying another visit to the White House. She was not joined by her partner on this occasion, with Portuguese superstar CR7 busy doing his day job in Saudi Arabia.
Mamadou Niang has disclosed the crucial conversation he had with Sadio Mane that prevented the Africa Cup of Nations final from descending into chaos. The former Marseille striker intervened as the Lions of Teranga walked off the pitch in protest at a late penalty decision, urging his compatriot to ensure the team finished the game "like men" before their eventual dramatic victory.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been told that he “needs to retire” after indulging in “cringe” trolling of rival defenders during Al-Nassr’s latest Saudi Pro League fixture. A 1-0 victory over Al-Taawoun was secured in that contest, but CR7 was unable to find the back of the net. The Portuguese GOAT did, however, clash with opponents on a regular basis over the course of 90 minutes.
Cristiano Ronaldo helped Al-Nassr to a 1-0 win over Al-Taawoun on Monday that boosts their title hopes. The result leaves Ronaldo's side just five points behind league leaders Al-Hilal after 17 games played. Ronaldo also had a message for his team-mates after the game as he aims to win the league title for the first time since making the move to the Middle East.
Al-Nassr moved level with Al-Ahly and within two points of league leaders of Al-Hilal with a 1-0 win over Al-Taawoun on Monday evening. The home side were all over their visitors from the outset but really struggled to make their dominance count and it ultimately took a first-half Mohammed Al Dossary own goal for Jorge Jesus' side to claim all the spoils and claim a third successive league win.
Sadio Mane was given a hero's welcome by his Al-Nassr teammates following Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations success. Mane captained the Lions of Teranga to a second AFCON triumph in their history in Morocco last weekend as Senegal claimed a drama-filled 1-0 win over the tournament hosts courtesy of Pape Gueye's extra-time winner in Rabat.
Cristiano Ronaldo is again being backed to break into Hollywood once the day comes to hang up record-shattering boots as a footballing GOAT. At 40 years of age, the Portuguese superstar has already dipped his toe into the movie industry. He could fully take the plunge at some stage, with fellow ex-Manchester United star Giuseppe Rossi billing CR7 as a perfect Joker for the Batman franchise.
A retirement plan for Cristiano Ronaldo has been teased as Saudi Pro League officials reportedly line up 50 big-name players to join CR7 in the Middle East before the day comes for him to hang up his boots. More high-profile additions, such as Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes, will help the division to retain interest heading towards the 2034 World Cup.
A jobs website has remarkably listed a Saudi Pro League playing position to give successful applicants the chance to potentially play against the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez. The league, which has shot to prominence since Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr in 2023, has publicly advertised for a defensive midfielder role.
Al-Nassr beat Damac 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League on Wednesday night to close the gap on leaders Al-Hilal to just four points. Abdulrahman Ghareeb opened the scoring early on in the game before Ronaldo doubled their advantage at the start of the second half. Damac did pull one back midway through the second half but Al-Nassr hung on for a vital win to reignite their title bid.
Police in Madeira are hunting a vandal who filmed himself setting fire to a bronze statue of Cristiano Ronaldo outside the CR7 Museum in Funchal. The dishevelled individual poured flammable liquid over the sculpture before performing a bizarre dance to rap music. He posted the footage to Instagram with the strange caption: "This is God's last warning." The suspect has been identified but not yet caught.
Cristiano Ronaldo is being backed to complete a successful transition from football player to movie star once record-shattering boots are hung up for the final time. The Portuguese GOAT has already dabbled in the film industry and is - as a “billionaire” superstar - expected to head down that path on a permanent basis, allowing Oscar recognition to be pursued.
Roberto Martinez has suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be undroppable when Portugal open their quest for 2026 World Cup glory. The evergreen 40-year-old forward remains captain of his country, and an inspiration to millions across the globe, but he is not immune to a spot of bench duty and will be replaced if remarkable individual standards are allowed to dip.
Cristiano Ronaldo has emerged victorious in his long-running dispute with former employers Juventus regarding wages that initially went unpaid. The Portuguese superstar, along with his team-mates in Turin, agreed to defer certain salary payments during the Covid-19 pandemic. He has since taken matters to court in a bid to keep £8.5 million ($11m) that was owed to him.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not want to stop without a World Cup win that allows him to emulate eternal rival Lionel Messi, the Portuguese’s former Manchester United team-mate Kleberson has told GOAL. A man who knows all about the mindset of an all-time great has also boldly predicted that evergreen CR7 could play on until the age of 50 if he really wants to.
Neymar to Inter Miami could still happen, former MLS star Kleberson has exclusively told GOAL, with Lionel Messi looking to bring “everyone” to the United States as he forms his own “private league”. Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Rodrigo De Paul have already joined the Argentine GOAT in Florida, with more marquee transfer deals - including Cristiano Ronaldo - being lined up.
Cristiano Ronaldo would be prepared to join “the lowest professional league” in order to reach 1,000 competitive goals, claims former Manchester United team-mate Nani, but is not expected to be forced down that path. Instead, the Portuguese GOAT, who is still going strong in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr, is being backed to grace Euro 2028.
Sportico have released their annual highest-paid athletes list, with Cristiano Ronaldo sitting at the top of that chart. The Portuguese GOAT earned double what eternal rival Lionel Messi pulled in over the course of 2025, with the Al-Nassr forward making $260 million (£194m). There are 13 football players in the top 100, with Brazilian icon Neymar tumbling down the standings.
Cristiano Ronaldo was clearly disappointed at being substituted during Al-Nassr’s crucial Saudi Pro League clash with fellow title hopefuls Al-Hilal. The Portuguese superstar did not take kindly to seeing his iconic No.7 held up during the closing stages of that contest. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner aired his frustration while trudging towards the touchline.
Cristiano Ronaldo is facing another trophy-less season at Al-Nassr after his team threw away a one-goal lead in their 3-1 loss to title rivals Al-Hilal. The Portugal international put his side ahead shortly before half time but a second half to forget may have again ended their hopes of winning the league title. The former Real Madrid man is yet to win any major silverware since moving to the Middle East three years ago and now they are seven points behind Al-Hilal after 14 games.
