Cristiano Ronaldo has penned a remarkable contract extension with Al-Nassr, where he is to earn an astonishing €183 million per season. This deal not only solidifies his position as the highest-paid footballer in the world but also continues to elevate his status within the Saudi Pro League.
The Numbers Behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s Lucrative Deal
Breaking it down, Ronaldo would receive €15.25 million a month, €3.8 million a week, and €550,000 a day. This multimillion-dollar deal ensured that he stayed at the top in terms of payment as the highest paid footballer in the world, always at the top with regards to sports salary scales.
A Top-Tier Deal In The World Of Sports
Following a one-year deal in 2023 that already made Ronaldo one of the top three best-paid athletes ever, behind Shohei Ohtani and Lionel Messi, Al-Nassr signed him into a new deal that further seals his position in the list of the highest-earning sports persons.
Saudi Pro League Dominant
This contract extension ensured that Ronaldo continued to lead as the most highly paid player in the Middle East. Of course, such a person eclipses some other famous individuals from the same region, like Neymar Jr. and Karim Benzema. Although reports earlier indicated Ronaldo’s possible return to European football through Paris Saint-Germain, this contract seems to bury any such hope with his future at Saudi Arabia being secured.
Ronaldo’s Desire Unperturbed
Despite the colossal financial package, Ronaldo’s ambition is far from fading. His main target remains to set a historic milestone with the achievement of 1,000 goals in official competitions. Having scored 917 so far, Ronaldo remains more motivated than ever to extend his football legacy and write his name in golden letters by achieving this record.
Breaking Records With Unstoppable Consistency
Ronaldo is continuing to break records as the only player in football history to score goals in 24 consecutive years, starting from his debut in 2002. That only goes on to prove the extraordinary longevity and consistency with which he has delivered over the years, and for which he remains one of the greatest footballers of all time.
A Career Filled With Success – And Still More To Achieve
He has achieved 35 titles during his career. He has been able to clinch two of the most international titles with Portugal, such as Euro 2016 and the 2019 UEFA Nations League. Ronaldo looks forward to other titles and still aims to capture the World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada for the 2026 World Cup.
