Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a record-breaking contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. 

 

Already the highest-paid player in the world, Ronaldo’s new deal takes things to an entirely different level with unbelievable pay, personal perks, and even partial ownership of the club.

 

The star player will now earn £178 million annually, around £3.4 million per week, as his base salary for being part of the team.

 

On top of that, he will also receive:

£80,000 for every goal he scores, which increases by 20 percent if he stays for a second year
£40,000 for every assist, also increasing by 20 percent in year two
A signing bonus of £24.5 million that rises to £38 million if he chooses to extend the contract

He will also earn millions more if the club performs well:

 

£8 million if Al Nassr wins the Saudi Pro League
£4 million if Ronaldo becomes the top scorer
£6.5 million if the club qualifies for the Asian Champions League and wins it

 

In a first-of-its-kind move, Ronaldo has been given 15 percent ownership of the club, a share valued at around £33 million. No other active footballer has ever received such a deal, making this contract truly historic. It makes him a player, a club ambassador, and now a part-owner.

 

The contract also covers Ronaldo’s high-end lifestyle. It includes:

 

£4 million annually for private jet travel
£60 million worth of sponsorship deals through Saudi brands and partners in Asia
A 16-member personal team just for him, which includes 3 drivers, 4 housekeepers, 2 private chefs, 3 gardeners, and 4 bodyguards

Ronaldo’s original move to Saudi Arabia was already a major turning point. With this new contract, Al Nassr has shown they are fully committed to its goal of becoming a football powerhouse. Ronaldo is not just seen as a football player, but as the face of a sporting revolution in the region.

 

Even at 40 years old, Ronaldo continues to be Al Nassr’s top scorer and the biggest name in the league. This record-setting deal proves he is still the most valuable brand in world football, both on and off the field.
