Cristiano Ronaldo's Record-Breaking £492M Al-Nassr Contract Details Revealed

Cristiano Ronaldo's new two-year Al-Nassr contract is the most lucrative in sporting history, worth a basic £492 million. The Portuguese received a pay rise to stay with the Saudi Pro League team he joined in December 2022. His new terms include a basic salary of £488,000 per day and the opportunity to be a 'dream ambassador' for the Gulf State, potentially earning over £500 million in two years. He also gets a signing bonus of £24.5 million, increasing to £38 million if he stays for the second year. Ronaldo has been given a 15% ownership stake in the club worth £33 million. Bonuses for winning the golden boot and the Saudi Pro League could make him over half a billion pounds richer by the end of his contract.

Ronaldo confirmed his new deal with Al-Nassr after speculation about his future. Despite rumors of leaving, he announced his return for the upcoming season after Portugal's Nations League win. The striker scored 35 goals in 41 matches last season and is nearing 1,000 career goals, with 938 to his name. Al-Nassr will also cover the expenses for 16 full-time staff for Ronaldo and his family, costing around £1.4 million. Additionally, he will have access to a private jet worth £4 million and potential sponsorship deals with Saudi companies up to £60 million.

The club was concerned about losing Ronaldo, who is seen as the 'face of the league.' The announcement of his contract came after head coach Stefano Pioli's departure, making him the fourth coach to leave since Ronaldo joined in 2023. Ronaldo expressed gratitude for the support in a social media post, thanking the club.
