Ronaldo's salary exceeds that of many European giants

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a two-year contract extension with Al Nassr. According to BeINSports , the Portuguese superstar's salary at Al Nassr is 180 million euros per year . Last season, only eight clubs in Europe had a higher annual salary than Ronaldo's income at Al Nassr, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Man City, MU, Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona and PSG.

On the other hand, many European clubs have a much lower total wage bill than CR7. Here are six big European clubs that are said to spend less than Ronaldo's salary, according to data from Capology .

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool 's wage bill will increase significantly this summer as manager Arne Slot begins his rebuilding of the squad. Florian Wirtz is expected to earn a big salary, but in return they will part ways with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Overall, Liverpool's wage bill is still lower than Ronaldo's. Last season, Liverpool's wage bill was estimated at around €152m . New signings are unlikely to surpass that figure.

Inter Milan spend less than half as much on wages as Real Madrid ( €144m vs €272m) but have reached two Champions League finals in the last three years. However, their heavy defeat to PSG leaves a question mark. The new additions in the Cristian Chivu era are not expected to make a huge difference to the team's wage bill.

Backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, Newcastle United 's wage bill has seen a big boost. However, the club has yet to break the Premier League's spending barrier. Last season, Newcastle's wage bill was estimated at €122m . That figure is expected to rise significantly as Newcastle enter the Champions League and continue to sign players, or as Alexander Isak's wages increase.

Atletico Madrid have always competed in the top 3 of La Liga under the leadership of Diego Simeone. They have high-paid players such as Julian Alvarez, Antoine Griezmann and Jan Oblak. However, Ronaldo earns more than all Atletico stars combined. Atletico's wage bill is estimated at around 137 million euros a year.

Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League last season, but qualified for the Champions League after ending their trophy drought with victory over Manchester United in the Europa League. The club's wage bill is around €123m .

Napoli have an estimated wage bill of around €87m for the 2024/25 season. This is only half of what Ronaldo earns at Al Nassr. Despite signing Kevin De Bruyne, Napoli are still spending quite modestly compared to other big clubs.
