The news of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus for a record signing fee of Euro105 million for a player over 30 yrs old, made me wonder once again why the retirement age in this game has dropped so much.

I think that the absolute minimum for retirement in the game should be at 34 years old. It's been a while now but if my memory serves me correct, when I first joined the game back in 2011 I believe it was 35 yrs which is much more realistic.

What do you think?

I think so. IIRC it has dropped twice since 2011, might be wrong doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

33 yrs old is just too early for a retirement age.

It dropped from 38 to 33.

35 would have been more reasonable, imho.

Blimey, 38yrs!

My aging brain doesn't remember it if I'm honest, but yes 35 would be the optimum. A good middle ground, neither too young or too old.

You can still see it in the market.

For "age' there is a search range for 30-38.

There are LOTS of top class players, that's the reason. Making them retire earlier would reduce the amount.
