According to CBS Sports’ James Benge and Ben Jacobs, Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed to a deal with Al-Nassr.
Following his departure from Manchester United early in December, the Portuguese professional footballer has been without a club.
But his period of freedom wasn’t very long.
Mandy News learned that Ronaldo indeed have some interest from European clubs, but none of the offers satisfied his requirements, therefore he decided to sign a contract with Al Nassr.
The contract is believed to last until 2025, but club executives are optimistic that Ronaldo would continue until that point, possibly in an ambassadorial capacity if he decides to hang up his boots. The notion of staying until 2030 was brought up in the first conversations.
Ronaldo is expected to have a medical within the next week before signing the papers for his much anticipated move to the Middle East.
How Much Did Ronaldo Sign For Saudi Arabia?
According to information obtained by Mandy News, the agreement is valued somewhere over £250 million, making him the highest-paid player in the entire globe.
How Much Is Ronaldo Paid Per Year In Al-Nassr
Ronaldo will work for Al-Nassr and earn a staggering $75 million (£61.1 million) year. After his playing career concludes in 2024, he will also serve as an ambassador.
The Saudi Arabian government, which wants to improve its international standing as part of its quest to host the 2030 World Cup, has sponsored Al Nassr’s attempt to sign Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi is wanted in the future by Saudi officials, who have selected Al Hilal as a possible destination for Argentina’s greatest player of all time.
