Two years after his arrival in Saudi Arabia from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has still not won anything. At least in terms of results. Because financially, it’s another story. In its latest ranking, the magazine Forbes
places the Portuguese striker at the top of the hierarchy of the best paid players in the world with income estimated at 283 million euros in 2024. Far, very far ahead of Lionel Messi and his 124 million euros.
And while he will celebrate his 40th birthday on February 5, the trend is not about to reverse. Under contract until next June with Al-Nassr, “CR7” should accept a one-season extension, with a huge check at stake. The newspaper
Marca, who talks about “contract of the century”reveals the terms of the XXL agreement concluded between the former Real Madrid star and the leaders of the Riyadh-based club, who spared no expense in retaining their best ambassador.

The new salary of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner should thus amount to 183 million euros, or 15.25 million euros per month, 3.8 million euros per week or 550,000 per day! Another advantage proposed by the Al-Nassr staff, the native of Funchal should become a 5% shareholder of the Yellow and Blue. An offer impossible to refuse for the ex-Mancunian, who obtained an additional guarantee: that of a bold recruitment, starting this month of January.
One or two reinforcements would be expected before the end of this winter transfer window, THE Spanish daily announcing that the hottest track would lead to Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder (32 years old) is a player that Georgina Rodriguez’s companion knows very well since he played alongside her in two different teams, first at Real Madrid then at Manchester United. Enough to compete with the two big names in the Saudi Pro League, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad?
