Former Real Madrid and Barcelona star Ronaldo says he will hang up the boots at the end of next year.
Ronaldo has revived his career with Corinthians back home in Brazil.
"My thoughts are to play up until the end of 2011 in December and then close out my career. I am going to finish it here in Corinthians," Ronaldo said.
"This year has been very complicated for me, on account of the injuries. I need to regain the affection and love that the Corinthians support held for me. Playing one year more will be hard on my body, but I need to give this to the fans."
