Cristiano Ronaldo has already begun planning his life after football, and it says a lot about who he is beyond the pitch. At 40, the Portuguese superstar still plays professionally, but he has spoken openly about the day he will finally retire. He insists that he won’t stop playing until his body tells him it’s time, a mindset that helped him remain one of the best for nearly two decades. In interviews, he admitted that leaving the game “will be very, very difficult,” but he also said he feels prepared for the next stage of his life.
For Ronaldo, family comes first. Reports show that he is building a spectacular coastal mansion near Lisbon, Portugal, where he hopes to settle with his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, and their five children after retirement. The estate is worth around £30 million and includes luxuries like an infinity pool with ocean views, a private gym, indoor and outdoor pools, a cinema, and a large car garage for his collection. The villa reflects Ronaldo’s commitment to both comfort and privacy.
This Portuguese home is just one of many properties Ronaldo owns around the world. He has lived in prestigious homes in Madrid, Turin, Madeira, and Dubai over the years. While playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, he has spent much of his time on a private island known as “Billionaire’s Island,” enjoying peace and security with his family.
Ronaldo’s ties to Saudi Arabia may be deeper than most fans realize. After signing a contract extension with Al-Nassr until 2027, he expressed appreciation for life in the Kingdom and even suggested he may consider it his permanent home one day. Many experts believe he could split his time between Portugal and Saudi Arabia once he retires.
Although Ronaldo’s football career is still active, his future plans already paint a clear picture: a life where family, luxury, and comfort take center stage. Whether he ultimately calls Portugal, Saudi Arabia, or both home, the next chapter of his life will likely be as fascinating as the record-breaking career that preceded it.
