Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo is hopeful of suspending his initial plans to retire from the sport.

The Portuguese forward will be 39 in February, but is still planning to compete at the next World Cup.

Per Cadena Cope and other sources, Ronaldo has informed Al-Nassr of his desire to stay with the Saudi Pro League club for several more years.

The forward wants to play at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Spanish source outlines that Ronaldo has indicated that he will only retire in early 2027.

Whether the forward, who will be 41 at the next World Cup, can make it that far is another matter.
