Cristiano Ronaldo has finally confirmed he will stay at Al Nassr, after much speculation over his future, and is expected to further enrich his pocket in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, who was full of emotion after the triumph in the Nations League with Portugal, made the game-changing move to the Middle East on January 1, 2023, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract after his second spell at Manchester United ended with a mutual termination of the contract.
The move came as a huge surprise and shocked the football world, subsequently prompting a wave of transfers of other well-known stars to this destination.
The contract that Ronaldo signed made him the highest-paid footballer in the world by a considerable margin, reportedly earning around 177 million euros a year in Riyadh.
Taking the captain’s armband early in his career, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has maintained his incredible form, finding the net 99 times in 111 appearances for Al Nassr and taking his career club total to 800 goals.
How much has Cristiano Ronaldo earned at Al Nassr?
Ronaldo, who earns an estimated €3,403,846 a week, has amassed a fortune since signing for Al Nassr.
In his first two years, he earned €354m and by 2025, he has added another €68m.
That brings his total earnings from Al Nassr to around €422m – not including the huge income he earns from sponsorship and marketing deals.
On Sunday, after leading Portugal to a third trophy by beating Spain on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena, Ronaldo made his situation clear.
“The future? Nothing will change. Al Nassr? Yes,” Ronaldo had declared.
