Brazilian legend Ronaldo sent a message to Neymar, urging him not to rush into announcing his international retirement after the disappointing exit from the 2026 World Cup.

The Santos star had hinted at the end of his career with the Seleção after his country's painful round-of-16 exit, but Ronaldo advised him to wait before making his final decision, stressing that it is not the right time to make fateful decisions.

Ronaldo added in a television interview: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't decide anything now, you don't have to. No one is required to decide anything now."

Ronaldo added: "He will return to his club and play again. We cannot forget that he is coming back from a major injury that lasted two years."
