Cristiano Ronaldo has 'changed' his retirement plans after finding out his biological age.
Ronaldo, 40, is still going strong, having scored an impressive 33 goals in 39 matches across all competitions this season.
He is showing no signs of slowing down as he enjoys a prolific campaign with Al Nassr.
And Ronaldo doesn't plan on calling time on his legendary career any time soon.

That's after discovering his biological age, which is a LOT younger than his actual age.
He learnt that he is physiologically 11 years younger following tests done by Whoop, which is a technology company specialising in fitness trackers and health monitoring devices.
Tests carried out by Whoop include measuring physiological data such as heart rate and heart rate variability, which are then used to give information after their recovery and sleep.
Speaking on the Whoop podcast, Ronaldo revealed he has a biological age of 28.9.
"I can’t believe my age is 28.9 years," he told Will Ahmed after learning he is biologically 11 years younger than his actual age.
He joked: "That means I’m going to be playing football for another 10 years!"
So, Ronaldo seems set to play into his fifties.
The Portuguese superstar has been at Al Nassr since December 2022 following his Manchester United departure.
He's enjoyed spells at Sporting CP, the aforementioned Man United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Al Nassr want to tie him down to a new deal, with the player's existing deal set to expire this summer.
Ahead of the Club World Cup, however, Ronaldo has received a 'tempting' offer to leave Saudi Arabia.
MARCA claim Ronaldo and his team have been offered a 'significant' offer from an unnamed Brazilian club.
The lucrative proposal is described as an 'off-market offer' which would be partly funded by contributions from outside investors.
Though no exact club has been named, it is suggested that a transfer could pave the way for an appearance at the Club World Cup.
Brazilian sides Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Botafogo are all set to compete in the United States.
