Ronaldo is slowly approaching a career landmark.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to score goals seems to have no end in sight. The 40-year-old Portuguese is still setting records for Al-Nasra and the Portugal national team.
The big question today is when will he reach the coveted 1,000 goal mark? Artificial intelligence (AI) analysis suggests that day may come sooner than most people expect.
The achievement could happen in August or September 2026, shortly after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada, according to Gemini AI estimates. Cristiano Ronaldo still needs 47 more goals to reach the four-figure barrier with 953 official goals for club and country.
AI predicts when Cristiano Ronaldo will reach 1000 career goals
The algorithm took into account his current average, his pace in the Saudi Professional League and his international schedule with Portugal, where he remains an important player.
The milestone could be reached in the first half of the 2026–27 season if he continues to score goals per game at the same pace as the previous two years.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo said he was thinking about the record.
“I still have the passion even though my family keeps telling me to stop. I feel motivated when I fight against the younger players.”
In a recent interview, he stated: “I want to continue to enjoy football and leave my mark.”
The Portuguese superstar is still a commercial force despite his sporting achievements. Because of his contract with Al-Nassr and extensive endorsement portfolio, Forbes actually named him the highest-paid footballer in the world in 2025, with a projected salary of €239 million. In the history of modern sports, such indicators were exceeded only by boxer Floyd Mayweather.
Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to establish new branches in the Middle East, where he hopes to win more trophies with Al Nassr, thanks to a deal that expires in 2027. The football world will once again welcome a legend when the 1,000th goal is scored, regardless of what the artificial intelligence (AI) predicts.
