Ronaldo's new contract…imaginary numbers and a percentage of the club's profits | International sports

Al Malaeb Newspaper – The Spanish newspaper “Marca” presented details of the extension of the contract of the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo for one season with his Saudi club Al-Nassr Football Club, in exchange for a great salary.

It is believed that Ronaldo – who is 39 years old – will soon extend his contract with Al-Alamy on astronomical terms, leaving the Portuguese as the highest-paid footballer in the world with an annual salary of €183 million (not including bonuses).

The monthly salary of “The Don” is estimated at 15.25 million euros at a rate of 550 thousand euros per day, but the novelty in the contract lies in allocating part of the shares of Al-Nasr to the five-time Ballon d 'Or winner, the first in the history of Saudi football, and reflects the trust placed in the legend by the leaders.

5% of Al-Nasr shares
Ronaldo will receive 5% of the shares of the club, which he joined in January 2023 after leaving English side Manchester United.

Since signing, the Portuguese has become an ambassador for his team and the Saudi Professional League, which he recently deemed a better level than the French league.

Ronaldo especially emphasized the fact that he plays in extreme temperatures “when it is 38, 39 or 40 degrees”. “They should come and take a look,” he said.

The Portugal international added: “Don't trust what I say. Come and see for yourself. In France there is only Paris Saint-Germain, and the others are done. This is my opinion.”

The Spanish newspaper reported that the extension of Don's contract is part of a wider development strategy for the Saudi club, whose owners plan to strengthen the ranks of a team with Italian coach Stefano Pioli in the coming period, including the possible arrival from Brazilian Casemiro, Ronaldo's former teammate at Real Madrid and Manchester United.

As for Ronaldo, this extended partnership reflects his satisfaction since his arrival in Riyadh. He said in previous statements: “It is a great honor to see how the league is developing and attracting more and more stars.”
