Cristiano Ronaldo has caught the attention of fans including some of his former teammates after posting a cryptic post on social media. The Al Nassr ace posted a video on Instagram that suggests that he might be venturing into podcasting in the future.
Ronaldo posted a teaser video which showed branded podcast-like microphones with his trademark inscription “CR7”. The video which he captioned with an eye emoji also had an audio that reads – “When you ask Cristiano Ronaldo not to share info about his new project”. The post has led to many speculating that the 39-year-old could be venturing into a personalized podcast project.
A lot of fans have reacted to this post including some of his former Real Madrid teammates like Marcelo and Alvaro Morata. They all flooded the comments section, asking Ronaldo what he was up to.
Marcelo wrote:
“What are you up to?? Tell me soon.”
Similarly, Morata commented:
“What are you preparing?”
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor, who is a close friend to the Portugal captain, also reacted to the post. He asked:
“What are we up to, lad?”
Cristiano Ronaldo has shown he is an industrious individual both on and off the pitch. Over the years, he has made significant investments outside football, and podcasting could be the latest project under his CR7 franchise.
What’s next for Cristiano Ronaldo in the new season?
Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to action for the 2024-25 season in style. The 39-year-old scored and provided an assist in Al-Nassr’s 2-0 victory over Al-Taawoun in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal on August 14.
Despite not partaking in pre-season friendlies with the squad, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner looked sharp and ready. He assisted his side’s first goal in the first half, before doubling the lead in the 57th minute with a well-taken strike in the box.
He celebrated by hitting his iconic Siu celebration as he scored his first goal of the new season. The strike also meant that the Portuguese ace has now scored in 23 consecutive seasons since making his professional debut with Sporting Lisbon.
Ronaldo will look to find the net once more when Al-Nassr face rivals Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup final on Saturday, August 17. Last term, Al-Hilal beat Al-Nassr to the league and Kings Cup, thus the Knights of Najd’s will be out for revenge.
