Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo signs with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr for 100 million euros making him the highest paid athlete in history
Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a contract with the Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr, the club’s press office announced on Saturday.
According to Agence France Presse (AFP), the agreement runs through 2025.
“This is more than just a story,” the club’s press office said in a statement, “This is a transfer that will not only inspire our club to new successes, but also inspire our league and future generations to become a better version of themselves.” Ronaldo said he is inspired by Saudi football.
“I am eager to experience a new football league in a different country. Al Nassr Club’s vision is very inspiring. I am happy to join my teammates so that together we can help it achieve more success,” Ronaldo said.
The Spanish newspaper Marca earlier reported that the value of the contract is estimated at about 100 million euros. According to the report, Ronaldo will get another 100 million euros under advertising contacts, which will make him the world’s highest-paid athlete.
The UK club Manchester United on November 21 said it terminated the contract with the Portuguese footballer by mutual agreement. That happened after Ronaldo said in an interview to The Sun before the football World Cup in Qatar that he had no respect the club’s current coach Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo, 37, won multiple titles in the sport.
