Cristiano Ronaldo Hints at Retirement: 'Maybe I Can Leave My Career Next Year'

Cristiano Ronaldo has said he could retire "next year" but also indicated he may continue playing into his 40s.

The Juventus superstar is now 34, but he has shown few signs of being on the wane and starred in his debut season with the Old Lady in 2018-19, netting 21 league goals in a triumphant Serie A campaign.

Juve kick off their new season with a visit to Parma on Saturday. Ronaldo will again be crucial for Juventus' prospects in 2019-20, particularly in their bid to win a first UEFA Champions League since 1996.
