Liga Portugal is also known as the Primeira Liga, one of the top leagues in Portugal’s football history. Unlike the English premier league and La Liga, it consists of 18 teams contesting for the title race since the 2014- 2015 season. The three lowest teams with the lowest points were relegated to Liga Portugal 2 and replaced with the top three in the relegation zone. 

Cristiano Ronaldo will likely retire in the Liga Portugal league since it’s in his home country. Going back to Portugal would be easy for him, and it means he will join Sporting CP, where he was scouted and signed for Manchester United as a youngster. 

The English Premier League is another option for Cristiano Ronaldo to retire as a professional footballer. EPL is one of the most watched leagues in the world, and Ronaldo is currently playing for Manchester United. 

After his second arrival at the club, Ronaldo might decide to retire from the league. He first joined Manchester United in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon.

Ronaldo played for Manchester United for six years, from 2003 to 2009. He scored 118 goals in 292 matches played. However, he returned to the league last year and might stay until retirement. 

Saudi Professional League is one of the top leagues in Saudi Arabia and is governed by the Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF), established in 1956. It consists of 16 clubs which are usually played from August to May, where each club plays the other clubs two times to make it 30 games in a season. 

The league is also where most older players play whenever they are old and approaching their retirement stage. Hence, as for Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Professional League is also where he can retire professionally as a footballer. 

Major League Soccer is also another league where Cristiano Ronaldo can end his illustrious career. MLS is an American professional football league with the highest soccer competition on that continent. The league was established in 1996 and was part of a successful bid by the United States to host the 1994 World cup.  

Lastly, CFA is another top professional league where Cristiano Ronaldo can retire since he said he would keep playing football until he decided to stop, regardless of age.
