Family first: Ronaldo signals retirement is

The Al Nassr striker is the all-time leading goalscorer with 952 goals for club and country combined and said last month he is targeting 1,000 goals before quitting the game.

"Soon," the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said when he was asked when he would hang up his boots.

"I think I will be prepared. It will be very, very difficult," he said on Piers Morgan's Uncensored in an interview published on Tuesday. "But, I have prepared my future since 25, 26, 27-years-old. I think I will be capable to support that pressure. Nothing will compare to the adrenaline you have to scoring a goal in football.

"But everything has a beginning and everything has an end. I'm going to have more time for myself, for my family, to raise my kids."
