They can challenge him, call him a narcissist, say that he is way past his best, but Cristiano Ronaldo is able to push the boundaries despite the fact that he will celebrate his 38th birthday in February. The Portuguese is on the threshold of the biggest contract in the history of football, if he accepts the offer from Saudi Arabia. It has already been mentioned that, now that he is free after parting ways with Manchester United, Al Nassr, one of the richest clubs in the Arab world, is looking for him. The initial information from the end of last week said that the giant from Saudi Arabia is ready to allocate 225 million euros net for a three-year contract, and that figure is the summary of the wages he would receive at the new address, allegedly 75 million euros per season.🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo ‘agrees a record-breaking £173MILLION-per-year contract with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr’. [MailSport] pic.twitter.com/BoNjEEqIER— UnitedBox (@UnitedBoxx) November 30, 2022 But, according to information from the famous Marca, Al Nasr even increased the offer. Drastically. A staggering 200 million per season is on the table, including salary and marketing rights money, and a contract is for two and a half seasons, until June 2025. That would mean that Ronaldo would earn 500 million euros in the new club! Money is not a problem for the Saudis. They have brought world football stars before, however, they have never managed to catch a beast like Ronaldo. If the New York Times is to be believed, the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain pay Kylian Mbappe him 83 million euros per season according to the contract concluded this summer, followed by Neymar with 48,996,000 and Lionel Messi (40,500,000). No one in the history of football has ever broken the limit of 100 million euros in salary, and Cristiano Ronaldo could double that and set a record that, from this perspective, will be hard to beat.Great player and a supersized vain: CR7 puts enormous effort into proving he scored, but Adidas tarnish him with one crucial proofThe Portuguese could not possibly continue his career in a European club. Ideas about returning to Sporting were more romantic than realistic; Bayern denied (again) that they wanted him, justifying the operation as expensive; Real doesn’t need it… As for the MLS league, due to cap restrictions, it wouldn’t be able to get conditions like in Saudi Arabia anywhere. That’s why the Middle East seems grounded. Cristiano has not announced anything yet. He wants to devote himself to his obligations in the national team of Portugal, with which he won a place in the round of 16 of the World Cup, and when the tournament in Qatar ends, he will decide his future. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6853997##
