Cristiano Ronaldo set to sign new mega deal at Al Nassr | OneFootball

Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is set to sign a new deal at Al Nassr worth €3.8 million a week.

Ronaldo spectacularly re-joined United in 2021 and despite a successful first season, where he scored 24 goals, it fell to pieces in his second.

The Portuguese never really saw eye to eye with Erik ten Hag and in November 2022, he gave a now infamous interview with Piers Morgan.

He criticised the club, the owners and incredibly his own manager despite still being a paid member of the squad.

As a result, both United and Ronaldo agreed it was best to part ways and the Portugal legend signed a lucrative deal with Saudi Arabian club, Al Nassr.

According to reports from Saudi media Al Khabar (via AS), “the Portuguese, who will turn 40 in February, will extend his contract with the Saudi club for one season.”

“Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly accepted Al Nassr’s offer and is close to signing a multi-million euro renewal with the Saudi club.”

The deal is believed to be worth €200 million and will extend until June 2026.

“Cristiano was already the highest-paid footballer in Saudi Arabia, with a salary of €200 million, plus another €60 million in image rights. With this renewal. Cristiano Ronaldo will remain the highest-paid footballer in the world.”

He will reportedly earn an eye-watering €3.8 million a week and more than half a million euros a day.

The 39 year old has been in outstanding goalscoring form for Al Nassr since his arrival, scoring 75 goals in 84 matches.

With 917 career goals to his name, the extension for one more season and a half could see him get tantalisingly close to his objective of 1000 strikes.

In addition, it should also be noted that his deal will finish just in time for the World Cup in 2026, which will surely be his final international tournament.
