Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo extended his contract with the Saudi Al -Nasr Club for additional two years, in a move confirming the continuation of the ambitious sports project for the world, with an exceptional annual salary that makes him outperform the budgets of major European clubs.
A new contract and a sudden decision
Despite his hint of leaving at the end of last season, the victory administration succeeded in persuading Cristiano Ronaldo to stay, to sign a new contract that extends until the summer of 2027. Sources from the BN Sports and the British Broadcasting Corporation stated that the contract includes an annual salary of 180 million euros, which enhances its position as the highest players in the world.
A salary that exceeds major clubs
Ronaldo’s new salary exceeds the full budgets of the salaries of several prominent clubs in Europe. The Liverpool administration spent 152 million euros on the wages of the players last season, which is 28 million than Ronaldo’s salary alone. Inter Milan’s budget reached 144 million euros, and Atletico Madrid 137 million, while Tottenham’s budget did not exceed 123 million, and Newcastle United 122 million, while Italy’s hero Napoli was only 87 million euros.
A broad economic impact
This huge number reflects the fundamental shift in the economic scene of global football, especially in light of the entry of the Saudi Public Investment Fund on the line of support of local clubs, which made the Saudi League an attractive destination for the stars of the first row. Ronaldo’s financial superiority over Inter, Lugrol and Tottenham’s size shows the widening gap between the ability of European and Saudi clubs to attract adult stars.
Dazzle numbers last season
Ronaldo performed a remarkable performance with Al -Nasr during the last season, as he participated in 41 games in various championships, during which he scored 35 goals and presented 4 decisive passes, to confirm his technical value in addition to the media and marketing influence that gives him to the club and the league.
