Ronaldo to Al-Nassr, new revelations about his XXL contract

New information has fallen on the contours of the contract signed by Cristiano Ronaldo with the Saudi club Al-Nassr. The Portuguese striker will not receive 200 million euros, but much more.

The revelations continue about Cristiano Ronaldo. On December 30, Al-Nassr sealed the recruitment of the 37-year-old Portuguese striker. Left free by Manchester United, the former Real Madrid player signed up until June 2025 with the Saudi championship club coached by Frenchman Rudi Garcia. To evolve in the Saudi Pro League, the native of Funchal negotiated an abyssal contract which will allow him to receive a salary of 200 million euros.

A big check for the 2030 World Cup

But it’s not all about his XXL emoluments, if we are to believe the confidences of a source close to the Riyadh-based team, relayed by theFrance Media Agency. The new number 7 of Al-Nassr will in fact earn a total of 400 million euros, because half will be paid to him without playing a single match but to become the ambassador and the spokesman of the country of the Arabian Peninsula in the framework of the 2030 World Cup, which Saudi Arabia wants to organize alongside Greece and Egypt. Enough to motivate “CR7” a little more in his new challenge, the first of his career in an exotic championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first steps with Al-Nassr are scheduled for January 22, against Ettifaq, since the former member of Juventus Turin must serve a two-game suspension imposed by the English Football Federation when he was still playing for the Red Devils. A debut obviously eagerly awaited by an entire country and the player’s fans. On his future, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe has denied that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is coming to the Magpies on loan next season if they qualify for the next Champions League.
