Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr in 2023 was a significant milestone in both his career and sports finance. His signing occurred following a difficult departure from Manchester United, where conflicts with manager Erik ten Hag resulted in the termination of his contract. According to Forbes, this move elevated Ronaldo to the position of highest-paid sportsman in the world this year.
Onaldo’s move to Al Nassr was more than just another club change; it was a historic financial decision. He signed one of the most lucrative contracts in sports history, earning over £173 million per year.
This equates to around £14.4 million per month and £3.6 million weekly. Ronaldo’s earnings from nearly two years in Saudi Arabia amounted around £312 million.
Ronaldo’s income does not include endorsements or business activities, such as collaborations with Nike or his popular YouTube channel with over 65 million members.
As Ronaldo continues to play for Al Nassr, his financial effect is as substantial as his on-field efforts, ensuring that his status as one of football’s all-time greats endures beyond the game.
