It is undoubtedly the end of an era for 21st century football : Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving Europe to play in Saudi Arabia. At 37, the five-time Ballon d'Or, only Lionel Messi has done better with seven trophies, CR7 is turning its formidable European page which has seen him evolve at Sporting Portugal then at Manchester United, at Real Madrid, at Juventus Turin then back to Manchester United.
A career rich in goals, 817 in 1136 matches (including Portugal team selections), which makes Cristiano Ronaldo one of the greatest players in history. Unfortunately, his second stint in England didn't go exactly as planned.
After a successful first season in goals, 24 goals in 37 games, but failed in terms of trophy and classification (Manchester United did not qualify for the Champions League), Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his desire to leave.
Except that no one wanted to welcome him to Europe, without really knowing if it was he who did not want to lower his salary, around 20 million euros net per year at Manchester United, or though no club were interested in the 37-year-old striker. Still, after breaking his contract with the English team just after the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo chose Saudi Arabia.
On December 31, the Al-Nassr club announced the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo for two and a half seasons. Very quickly, the figures of this contract began to circulate and they are staggering. According to various sources, the Portuguese player will receive 200 million euros per year in Saudi Arabia.
The sports contract is around 85 million euros while the rest of the 200 million euros are related to image, sponsorship. Concretely, Cristiano Ronaldo would earn more than 16 million euros per year, or 555,555 euros per day, 23,150 euros per hour, 386 euros per minute and 6.5 euros per second. Huge we tell you.
