Cristiano Ronaldo is set to become the highest-paid footballer in the world with a staggering new contract at Al-Nassr that will see him earn €550,000 per day. The Portuguese superstar's current deal with the Saudi Arabian club expires this summer, but a blockbuster extension is in the works that would cement his position at the pinnacle of football earnings.
The new agreement, as reported by Marca, includes an astronomical annual salary of €183 million (£154m/$188m), breaking down to €15 million monthly or €3.8 million weekly. However, the financial package extends beyond mere salary; Al-Nassr has sweetened the deal by offering Ronaldo a five percent minority ownership stake in the club, demonstrating their faith in his leadership and long-term commitment.
The club's recent restructuring, including appointments of new executive leadership, reflects their ambitious vision with Ronaldo at the helm. Club officials have consistently praised Ronaldo's professional attitude and dedication since his arrival, and this new contract represents their continued confidence in the footballer's impact both on and off the field.
Al-Nassr's commitment to strengthening their squad has also played a crucial role in Ronaldo's decision to extend his stay. The club aims to enhance its competitiveness against Saudi Pro League rivals such as Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. Notably, there are discussions about potentially bringing in Casemiro, Ronaldo's former teammate from Real Madrid and Manchester United, who is currently experiencing difficulties at Old Trafford. Should this reunion materialize, it would mark the third time the two players have shared a dressing room.
While the timing of the contract announcement remains uncertain, fans won't have to wait long to see Ronaldo in action again, as he is set to lead Al-Nassr against Al-Taawoun in their upcoming Saudi Pro League fixture on Thursday.
