Cristiano Ronaldo’s new contract at Al-Nassr includes some staggering details that could see him earn £500 million in just two years.
Cristiano Ronaldo's new two-year contract with Al-Nassr is reportedly the most lucrative in sports history, clocking in at a staggering £492 million.
Confirmation of the new contract arrived on Thursday, ending months of speculation about Ronaldo's future. Last month, the former Real Madrid star sparked rumors of a departure with a cryptic social media post, hinting that a "chapter" was over.
This fueled speculation, further amplified by FIFA, that he might join a club competing in the Club World Cup. However, after Portugal's Nations League victory, the 40-year-old confirmed his return to Al-Nassr.
