Cristiano Ronaldo’s new two-year Al-Nassr contract is the most lucrative in sporting history, according to a report, and is worth a basic £492million over the duration of the deal.
The Portuguese has reportedly been handed a bumper pay rise to remain with the Saudi Pro League outfit he joined in December 2022 after leaving Manchester United.
The new terms, which will take him past his 42nd birthday, reportedly include an eye-watering basic salary of £488,000-a-day.
His contract is the most lucrative in sporting history and on top of the staggering compensation, it includes the perk of becoming a ‘dream ambassador’ for the Gulf State which could take his income to more than £500m over the next two years.
Additionally, he is reportedly pocketing a signing bonus of £24.5m which increases to £38m if he triggers the second year of his contract.
The outlet also claim that he has been given a 15 per cent ownership stake in the club worth £33m. In all, if bonuses for claiming for golden boot and winning the Saudi Pro League are received, Ronaldo will be more than half a billion pounds richer at the end of his deal.
Confirmation of the former United and Real Madrid star’s new deal came on Thursday following months of speculation that he could depart the club this summer.
