A digital company that specialises in fitness trackers and health monitoring gadgets recently conducted tests on Cristiano Ronaldo. He also serves as a brand ambassador for the business. He underwent tests that measured physiological parameters like heart rate variability.

“I don’t believe it’s so good: my age is 28.9 years,” he said. “That means I’m going to be playing football for another 10 years!”

When Cristiano Ronaldo disclosed his biological age on the Whoop podcast, he seemed taken aback.

The podcast also further revealed that Ronaldo does 17,000 steps a day, and he wasn’t surprised by that. “That’s how I live my life: I always move, football or playing with kids. So, I am not surprised,” he said.

The club have a little more than a month to make a choice before Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr contract expires on June 30. Ronaldo has apparently verbally consented to an extension, but he is also reportedly dissatisfied because the team couldn’t win trophies.

Al Nassr did not make it to the FIFA Club World Cup or the AFC Champions League Elite for the upcoming season. Additionally, he has demanded that Fernando Hierro, the sporting director, coach Stefano Pioli, and a few other team members be fired.
