Ronaldo’s Saudi Fortune Revealed: How Much Has the Ballon d’Or Winner Earned Since Moving to Al Nassr?
It’s no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr was a massive one, both on and off the pitch. But just how much has the five-time Ballon d’Or winner earned since making the switch? Well, according to reports, Ronaldo has raked in a staggering £292 million in just over a year and a half with the Riyadh club.
That’s right, folks – the 39-year-old is believed to be earning a whopping £177 million per year, which works out at a tidy £3,403,846 per week. To put that into perspective, that’s more than most people earn in a lifetime, let alone a year.
So, what’s behind Ronaldo’s Saudi fortune? For starters, his massive salary is just the tip of the iceberg. The Portuguese superstar also pockets a significant chunk of change from his endorsement deals, with various reports suggesting he’s banked a cool £100 million or so from his various sponsorship agreements.
But it’s not all about the dosh, folks. Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr was also seen as a massive coup for the Saudi Pro League, which has long been seeking to increase its profile on the global stage. And, let’s be real, the addition of one of the greatest players of all time has undoubtedly boosted the league’s profile, attracting a whole new audience to the beautiful game.
Of course, Ronaldo’s time in Saudi Arabia hasn’t all been smooth sailing. He’s struggled to find his footing in the league, and his performances on the pitch have been inconsistent at best. But, let’s not forget, this is a player who’s still capable of producing magic on the big stage.
Speaking of which, Ronaldo’s recent displays at Euro 2024 were… well, let’s just say, underwhelming. The Portuguese captain failed to score at the tournament, including a notable miss in the round of 16 win over Slovenia. And, in a move that’s sparked plenty of debate, Ronaldo has announced that Euro 2024 will be his last, citing his desire to focus on "making people happy" rather than competing at the highest level.
So, there you have it, folks – Ronaldo’s Saudi fortune revealed. Will he continue to rack up the millions in the years to come? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure – his presence in Saudi Arabia has already had a significant impact on the league, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
