Cristiano Ronaldo who signed a new contract with Al-Nassr for the next two years will be warning an astronomical amount according to a report published by Talksports.
According to the report, Ronaldo is set to earn 178 million pounds per year (approx 400 million Euros or INR 2000 crore over the next two years), after signing a contract extension at Al-Nassr.
The deal also includes the following:
24.5 million pounds signing bonus (increases to 38 million pounds in the second year), 8 million pound bonus if Al Nassr win the Saudi Pro League, 5 million pound bonus if Al Nassr win the Asian Champions League, 4 million pound bonus for winning the golden boot and 15% ownership of Al Nassr (estimated at 33 million pounds)
The Portuguese goalscorer superstar arrived in 2023 in the kingdom to play with the club, heralding a rush of players in the latter stages of their careers to the oil-rich country.
Last month, Ronaldo posted “This chapter is over” hours after the Saudi Pro League wrapped up with Al Nassr finishing third and trophyless once again.
“Ronaldo’s presence is a key factor in developing the Saudi league in the last two years and a half. He opens the door for elite and young players to come to Saudi Arabia,” a source from the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a major investor in Saudi football, told AFP last month.
The oil-funded PIF, the sovereign wealth fund behind a number of big-ticket Saudi investments, controls a group of Pro League clubs including Al Nassr, Al Hilal, and Al Ahli.
