Cristiano Ronaldo pens new eye-watching contract with Al-Nassr: Terms, wages revealed

'The story continues': Ronaldo pens new eye-watering contract with Al-Nassr

Al-Nassr have announced that they have finalised a new contract for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 40-year-old's terms with the Saudi Pro League club had been due to expire this summer after a two-and-a-half-year stint.

With Ronaldo having failed to deliver a league title during his stay, speculation emerged prior to the Club World Cup that he could move elsewhere.

However, the Portuguese superstar suggested earlier this month that his priority was to remain in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.

On Thursday afternoon, it was confirmed that Ronaldo had extended his contract until the summer of 2027.

According to Sky Sports News, Ronaldo will be earning £3.2m per week to remain at Al-Nassr, an eye-watering figure that is unrivalled.

That said, keeping Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League was imperative for the league's reputation when other high-profile names have rejected transfers in recent weeks.

As well as attracting fresh talent, clubs - particularly the ones owned by PIF (Public Investment Fund) will be working to extend the contracts of players who followed Ronaldo in 2023.

For example, Al-Hilal have players in Bono, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic who all have just 12 months remaining on their existing deals.
