• Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez were spotted enjoying a relaxing yacht trip off the coast of Mallorca
• The iconic Portuguese footballer caused a major stir when he missed the funeral of his international teammate Diogo Jota
• The Real Madrid and Manchester United legend recently signed a lucrative contract extension at Saudi Arabia club, Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo has taken time away from football to enjoy a tranquil getaway with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, aboard a luxury yacht off the scenic coast of Mallorca.

The Portuguese icon is spending quality time with family following a difficult week for Portuguese football, and just days after reaffirming his commitment to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr with a contract extension.

Ronaldo's contract extension at Al-Nassr

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner chose to stay with the Saudi side contrary to earlier speculation that he would part ways with Al-Nassr following a trophyless 2024/25 season.

According to the Sun, the 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new two-year deal worth £492 million.

The decision to retreat to Mallorca comes after an emotionally charged period for Ronaldo, who opted not to attend the funeral of Diogo Jota and his brother, a choice that sparked discussion across the football world.

Portuguese outlet A Bola reported that Ronaldo personally reached out to Jota’s partner, Rute Cardoso, and also communicated with Jota’s parents. It was mutually agreed that the Al-Nassr star would stay away, as his presence could have attracted “too much attention” during a moment that called for privacy.

When will Al-Nassr's 2025/26 pre-season start?

The official pre-season training of Al-Nassr begins with a match against Celta Vigo on July 17 and Ronaldo is clearly using this short break to recharge mentally and physically.

The Saudi Pro League side then take on Portuguese side Benfica three days later before matches against reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan follow.

Can Ronaldo reach 1000 career goals?

Still going strong at 40, Ronaldo is on a mission to become the first to net 1,000 competitive goals. With his relentless pursuit of excellence, few would question his chances.

The ex-Real Madrid and Manchester United star is just 62 goals away from achieving the iconic feat, having notched up 938 senior career goals for both club and country.

While Brazilian icons Pelé and Romário have both claimed to surpass that 1000-goal mark, their totals include unofficial matches like friendlies, so they aren’t officially recognized.
