Cristiano
Ronaldo
made
history
by
joining
Saudi
Arabian
Pro
League
giants
Al-Nassr
in
January.
By
joining
the
Middle
East
club,
the
38-year-old
became
the
highest-paid
footballer
in
the
history
of
the
game.
Al-Nassr
and
Portuguese
superstar
Cristiano
Ronaldo
reportedly
earns
around
$400
per
minute.
Ronaldo’s
mega
contract
with
the
nine-time
Saudi
Pro
League
champions
will
see
him
pocket
an
exorbitant
figure
of
$200
million
per
season.
The
former
Real
Madrid
forward’s
earning
per
day
is
estimated
to
be
around
$550,000.
The
Portuguese
superstar
earns
approximately
$22,000
per
hour.
So,
he
pockets
a
mega
amount
while
sleeping
as
well.
Cristiano
Ronaldo’s
annual
income
of
€200
million
sees
him
eclipse
the
earnings
of
PSG
trio
Kylian
Mbappe,
Lionel
Messi
and
Neymar
comfortably.
Ronaldo’s
deal
with
Al-Nassr
sees
him
earn
a
basic
salary
of
€75
million
per
season
(which
becomes
€200
million
once
bonuses,
benefits,
and
image
and
likeness
rights
are
added)
until
2025.
He
will
take
home
the
same
amount
for
another
five
years
until
2030
as
an
ambassador
for
Saudi
Arabia
as
they
pursue
their
goal
of
hosting
the
2030
World
Cup
together
with
Egypt
and
Greece.
The
Portugal
international
joined
Al-Nassr
as
a
free
agent
in
January
after
mutually
terminating
his
Manchester
United
contract
following
an
explosive
interview
with
Piers
Morgan.
In
his
interview,
Ronaldo
slammed
the
Red
Devils.
He
took
a
hit
at
the
club’s
owners,
manager
Erik
ten
Hag,
former
manager
Ralf
Rangnick
and
even
club
legends
and
his
former
teammates
Gary
Neville
and
Wayne
Rooney.
Ronaldo
currently
resides
in
the
Saudi
Arabian
capital
city
of
Riyadh
and
has
already
started
delivering
on
the
pitch
for
his
new
club.
The
football
icon
has
scored
eight
goals
in
seven
games
for
the
Middle
Eastern
club,
including
two
hat
tricks.
He
has
also
registered
two
assists
for
the
Saudi
Pro
League
leaders
so
far.
The
Portuguese
maestro
was
named
the
SPL
‘Player
of
the
Month’ for
February
for
his
magnificent
displays
on
the
pitch.
His
impact
has
also
transcended
beyond
the
pitch,
as
Ronaldo’s
arrival
has
seen
the
SPL’s
broadcast
boom
across
the
globe,
including
in
India.
