Friday, June 27, 2025 - Cristiano Ronaldo's new Al-Nassr contract is the most lucrative in sporting history, with his two-year deal worth £492million.
The Portuguese was handed a bumper pay rise to remain with
the Saudi Pro League outfit.
The new terms, which will take him past his 42nd birthday,
reportedly include an eye-watering basic salary of £488,000-a-day.
A report in the Sun states that the forward's
contract is the most lucrative in sporting history and on top of the staggering
compensation, it includes the perk of becoming a 'dream ambassador' for the
Gulf State which could take his income to more than £500m over the next
two years.
Additionally, he is reportedly pocketing a signing bonus
of £24.5m which increases to £38m if he triggers the second year of his
contract.
The outlet also claim that he has been given a 15 per cent
ownership stake in the club worth £33m. In all, if bonuses for claiming
for golden boot and winning the Saudi Pro League are received, Ronaldo will be
more than half a billion pounds richer at the end of his deal.
The Sun also reported that Ronaldo and his family will
have 16 people working full-time; three drivers, four housekeepers,
two chefs, three gardeners, and four security people - who will be paid for by
Al-Nassr at a cost of around £1.4m.
Ronaldo's new deal was confirmed on Thursday following
months of speculation that he could depart the club this summer.
On Thursday, the striker and the club confirmed the
decision, with Ronaldo posting on X: 'A new chapter begins. Same passion, same
dream. Let's make history together.'
Ronaldo scored 35 goals in 41 matches in all competitions
last term and was the Saudi Pro League's top scorer for the second season
running.
In all, he has netted 99 times in 111 appearances for
Al-Nassr and is inching closer to his dream of reaching 1,000 senior career
goals. His current tally stands at 938.
