Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history, this time off the field. The Portuguese striker, still a player for Al-Nassr, is preparing to extend his contract with the Saudi club. But this extension goes beyond the simple sporting framework and includes terms that disrupt the usual standards of football.
Ronaldo, an astronomical salary and an unprecedented clause
According to reports, Ronaldo will receive a record annual salary. The amount, set at 183 million euros, is equivalent to 3.8 million euros per week, making him one of the highest paid athletes in the world. But that’s not all: the agreement includes a clause offering him a 5% stake in the capital of the Al-Nassr club. A first in football, testifying to the strategic importance of the five-time Ballon d’Or for the Saudi project.
A key role for Al-Nassr and Saudi football
By accepting this new challenge, Ronaldo does not just perform on the pitch. Since his arrival, he has helped increase the global visibility of the Saudi Pro League. This contractual extension confirms its role as a cornerstone in Al-Nassr’s ambitious project, which aims to compete with the biggest European clubs.
With this extraordinary contract, Ronaldo redefines, once again, what a player can bring beyond the field.
