360 Million Annual Salary + Team Shares! Cristiano Ronaldo's King-Bomb Renewal
On January 15th, Beijing time, the famous journalist José Félix Díaz from Marca exclusively reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has renewed his contract with Al-Nassr for another year.
What are the conditions for the renewal?
After-tax annual salary of 183 million euros, monthly salary of 15.25 million, weekly salary of 3.8 million, daily salary of 550,000 euros.
In just a few years, he easily retains the top spot in the world's football player income rankings.
Saudi Arabia is so generous because it's worth it.
On the field, compared to Neymar who almost played every game, Ronaldo scored 44 goals and created 56 goals in a single season.
He broke various goal-scoring records and attracted huge attention to the Saudi league.
Neymar, with a two-year contract after-tax of 300 million, only played 428 minutes, costing 700,000 euros per minute.
This angered Al-Hilal so much that they didn't even register him.
If he wasn't a well-known figure, he would have been taken away long ago. Saudi money isn't that easy to get.
Off the field, Ronaldo has always been "causing trouble."
He insisted that the Saudi league is among the top five in Europe and firmly stated this in multiple public occasions.
On January 19, 2024, Ronaldo said in an interview at the Dubai Globe Awards ceremony: "The Saudi League is not worse than Ligue 1."
"The Saudi League is more competitive than Ligue 1. After playing there for a year, I can say that we are now better than Ligue 1."
On December 28, 2024, Ronaldo attended the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony: "Of course, the Saudi league is better than the French league. You can try sprinting in 38, 39, 40-degree weather and see how it feels. Now Ligue 1 only has Paris Saint-Germain. The other teams are finished."
Ligue 1 was so angry that they brought Messi out to counter him, and various celebrities also joined in the verbal sparring, creating a wave of traffic.
Isn't this exactly what Saudi Arabia wants? This is called professionalism.
Cooperation is pleasant, and Saudi Arabia and Al-Nassr are willing to offer greater benefits.
For this renewal, in addition to continuing to offer high salaries, they also agreed to give Ronaldo a 5% stake in the team.
Last August, Al-Nassr's total number of fans on the internet exceeded 60 million.
The brand valuation is 680 million euros, ranking 7th among global football clubs.
5%, which is equivalent to 34 million euros.
They are indeed quite generous in giving.
