Mere weeks after hinting that his Saudi Pro League journey with Al-Nassr had ended, Cristiano Ronaldo inked a fresh two-year contract with the club, silencing all talk of a possible return to European football.
Despite leading the Saudi Pro League in goals over the past two seasons, Ronaldo has yet to secure a league title with Al-Nassr. The club’s lackluster performance also cost them a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The string of setbacks at Al-Nassr appeared to push Ronaldo toward seeking new horizons for the rest of his career, but recent developments in the past week have clearly shifted his path.
As Al-Nassr declared on social media, Cristiano Ronaldo remains with @AlNassrFC until 2027, details surfaced about the massive contract the Portuguese star has signed.
Per Talksport, Ronaldo will earn £178 million annually (roughly €400 million or ₹2,000 crore over the next two years) after securing a contract extension with Al-Nassr. The agreement also includes the following perks:
- 24.5M pound signing bonus (increases to £38M in
second year)
- 8M bonus if Al Nassr win the Saudi Pro League
- 5M bonus if Al Nassr win the Asian Champions League
- 4M bonus for winning the golden boot
- 15% ownership of Al Nassr (estimated at £33m)
- 80K bonus per goal (increases by 20% in second year)
- 40K bonus per assist (increases by 20% in second year)
- 60M worth of sponsorship deals promised
- 4M worth of private jet expenses, covered by Al-Nassr
In 2023, the Portuguese scoring sensation joined Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, sparking a wave of veteran players flocking to the oil-rich nation.
Just last month, Ronaldo hinted on social media, This chapter is over, shortly after the Saudi Pro League concluded with Al-Nassr placing third and ending the season without silverware once more.
Ronaldo’s presence has been pivotal in elevating the Saudi Pro League over the past two and a half years, paving the way for both elite and young talents to join Saudi clubs, a source from the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a key financial backer of Saudi football, told AFP last month.
The oil-backed PIF, the sovereign wealth fund driving major Saudi investments, owns a portfolio of Pro League clubs, including Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli.
