You've had an incredible career, ex-Liverpool star tells Ronaldo to retire.

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has advised Portugal's captain Cristiano Ronaldo to quit from football.

Lawrenson wants the Portuguese star to make his decision by the end of the current season.

Ronaldo, who now plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, has continued to demonstrate that age is just a number, despite approaching 40.
He has started the 2024-25 season on a high note, scoring four goals and assisting twice in four games across all competitions for his team.

His current contract expires in June, and Lawrenson believes the former Manchester United player should retire next summer.

The 67-year-old told Paddy Power via GOAL, “Cristiano Ronaldo is still scoring in Saudi Arabia, but would he sign a new contract there? I am not sure.


"This is when I think he needs a best mate who says, 'You've had an unbelievable run, and maybe at the end of this season, just hang your boots up and let people remember you for what you've done.'"

"He doesn't want to go through half a season where he scores something like six goals in the Saudi league."
