\n
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has urged Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo to retire from playing football.<\/p>\n
Lawrenson wants the Portuguese star to make the decision as early as the end of the current season.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo, who now plays for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, has continued to show that age is just a number despite inching closer to 40.<\/p>\n
He has opened the 2024-25 campaign on an excellent note, scoring four goals and providing two assists in four appearances across all competitions for his club.<\/p>\n
His current deal is set to run out next June, and Lawrenson feels the ex-Manchester United man should retire next summer.<\/p>\n
The 67-year-old told Paddy Power via GOAL, \u201cCristiano Ronaldo is still scoring in Saudi Arabia, but would he sign a new contract there? I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is when I think he needs a best mate who says, \u2018You\u2019ve 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\u2019ve done.’\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe doesn\u2019t want to go through half a season where he scores something like six goals in the Saudi league.\u201d<\/p>\n
