Cristiano Ronaldo has decided that his future is in Saudi Arabia. Contract as a player until 2025, then as an ambassador of this country for the 2030 World Cup candidacy.
It seems that the soap opera about the future of the Portuguese footballer has come to an end. According to the Spaniards of 'As', there are no more doubts: CR7 will play at Al Nassr. Sources from the Arab club indicate that the deal was closed after a meeting between the player's people and the club's management on Tuesday.
The Middle Eastern club have tabled an offer worth €200 million a season until 2025, when the club hope he will continue as an ambassador. Al-Nassr hopes convincing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to join will help put Saudi Arabia on the football map ahead of their ambitious bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
But, of course, even in the role as an ambassador there will be further profits. It is expected that Ronaldo will continue to collect until 2030 and this means that he could touch a figure similar to half a billion euros in the next 7 years together...
During the World Cup, the 37-year-old previously denied he would sign for the Saudi Pro League club. "No, that's not true - it's not true," the 37-year-old told reporters after Portugal's 6-1 win over Switzerland.
