Cristiano Ronaldo may be on the verge of reaching one of the most significant milestones of his career, but he insists it is not a priority for him.
Since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has continued to dazzle as a key player for Al Nassr, delivering unforgettable performances and demonstrating remarkable athleticism at the age of 39.
In a recent interview, the Portuguese star emphasized that while records matter, they are not his main focus at this stage of his career.

Is 1,000 goals within reach for Cristiano Ronaldo?
When asked about the possibility of reaching 1,000 career goals, Ronaldo was clear in his response: his priority is to enjoy the time he has left as a professional player.
While achieving such a feat is no small task, his journey to 915 goals thus far is a testament to his unparalleled dedication and skill.
Speculation suggests Ronaldo could extend his career for at least two more years, potentially culminating after the 2026 World Cup.
If he maintains his current pace—already netting 15 goals midway through the 2024/25 season—he could very well reach the 1,000-goal milestone during that time.
For fans around the world, seeing Ronaldo remain at the top of his game is nothing short of inspiring.
His unwavering commitment continues to fuel hopes that he could still compete in Europe if he chose to return, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest scorers in football history.
