Ronaldo makes history at the age of 40.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to write a legendary chapter in his illustrious career by signing a two-year contract with Al Nassr, keeping him in Saudi Arabia until 2027.

However, what shocked both the football world and the global media was the enormous total value of the contract, reaching £492 million, making it the most valuable individual sports contract in history.

According to an analysis by The Sun , Ronaldo would receive a base salary of £178 million per year, equivalent to £3.42 million per week, £488,000 per day, or approximately £5.65 per second. This figure does not include additional bonuses, personal benefits, and other attractive financial terms.

"A new chapter begins. The same passion, the same dream. Let's make history together," Ronaldo shared on his personal page.

Ronaldo extends his contract with Al Nassr.

In addition to his enormous salary, the Portuguese superstar also received a signing bonus worth £24.5 million, which could increase to £38 million if he continued playing for a second year. Furthermore, Ronaldo was given a 15% stake in Al Nassr, worth approximately £33 million, a move that demonstrates his role not only on the pitch but also in the team's commercial strategy and global image promotion.

Ronaldo also receives £80,000 for each goal and £40,000 for each assist, with these amounts increasing by 20% in his second season. If he wins the Golden Boot, he receives £4 million, and if Al Nassr wins the Saudi Pro League, he pockets an additional £8 million.

In terms of personal life, Al Nassr spared no expense, paying £1.4 million for a team of 16 full-time staff to serve Ronaldo, from drivers and gardeners to chefs and security personnel. In addition, the club sponsored a private jet worth £4 million to help Ronaldo travel quickly and comfortably between personal and work commitments.

One notable point is that Ronaldo will not be subject to personal income tax in Saudi Arabia, according to PWC's analysis. This significantly increases his net income, far exceeding what he earned in Europe.

More than just a player, Ronaldo is also Saudi Arabia's "dream global ambassador" in a campaign promoting its image, sports, and tourism. This new contract once again affirms his irreplaceable position in the world of football, while opening a new chapter for Saudi Arabia's global ambitions in football.
