Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he will continue playing for Al Nassr for another season, making it clear that his commitment to the club and the Saudi Pro League goes beyond just the financial aspect. Along with that, in a surprising move, Ronaldo has also become a part-owner of Al Nassr, securing a 5% stake in the club.
Proud to ne Part of Saudi Football’s Growth
Ronaldo says that he is proud of how far the Saudi Pro League has come and the top players joining. “I am honoured that the league is growing and that many star players are coming to make it an even better and more competitive league,” he said.
How much is the deal worth?
Ronaldo’s new deal is worth a massive €183 million for one season, making him the world’s highest-paid player. But it’s not just about the money. Al Nassr is also planning to strengthen their team to challenge for the Saudi Pro League title, and Ronaldo will play a key role in that journey, both as a player and part-owner.
How much Ronaldo’s going to earn?
At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo is shattering records and reaffirming his position as the top-earning footballer globally, thanks to his new contract with Al-Nassr. This contract guarantees him an annual income of around ₹1,892 crore, which translates to an impressive ₹35.26 crore per week and a salary of ₹31,390 per minute, which is impressive.
