Portuguese football legend, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he will retire from football in ten years time.
The foremost football icon will turn 39 in February 2024, hence, he will be 49 in a decade time.
The Al-Nassr forward was asked about when he planned to hang up his boots in Dubai, where he is attending the Globe Soccer Awards and the 38-year-old delivered a funny response.

Ronaldo initially claimed he will retire āsoonā before he suggested he can remain at the top of the game for a while yet.
‘The moment I finish, I don’t know to be honest,’ Ronaldo said.
‘Of course, it will be soon, soon I mean 10 years more.
‘No I am joking, I don’t know, let’s see.’
Ronaldo, who turns 39 next month, currently plays for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
The Portugal star joined the club in a deal worth a reported Ā£175million-a-year last January, following the cancellation of his contract at Man United.
He is the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season with 20 goals, three ahead of nearest rival Aleksandar Mitrovic.
