Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to sign a new contract with Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr, with an eye-popping salary of €3.8 million per week. This follows a series of media reports from Saudi media outlet Al Khabar, citing sources via AS. The Portuguese football icon, who will turn 40 in February 2025, is poised to extend his contract with Al Nassr for an additional year, further cementing his position at the club.
The details of the new deal indicate that it will be worth a staggering €200 million in total, with Ronaldo earning €3.8 million every week. This substantial sum includes €200 million in base salary, while Ronaldo will also pocket an additional €60 million from image rights, which are part of his endorsement portfolio. These figures ensure that Ronaldo continues to be the highest-paid footballer in the world.
The deal is expected to last until June 2026, ensuring Ronaldo's presence in Saudi Arabia for at least one more season after his 40th birthday. Since joining Al Nassr in late 2022, Ronaldo has enjoyed a successful spell, scoring 75 goals in 84 appearances for the club. This impressive run has propelled him to an extraordinary career milestone, bringing his total goal tally to a phenomenal 917 career goals.
The potential contract extension with Al Nassr could set Ronaldo on track to reach his long-standing goal of scoring 1,000 career goals before his eventual retirement, marking a historic achievement in the world of football.
