$500 Million Worth Cristiano Ronaldo Closes in on Tiger Woods After Overtaking LeBron James as He Signs Massive $500 Million Deal

After a lot of speculation and reports, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr have made it official that the Portuguese star is going to ply his trade in Saudi Arabia. The kingdom will be the new home for the star as he will play in the Arabian League. The move came after the rift between Cristiano Ronaldo and his previous team, Manchester United. Ronaldo had talked about the alleged disrespect he was facing from management and teammates. However, signing one of the biggest players didn’t come cheap. Ronaldo seems to be winning as he scored big bucks and is now on his way to being the highest-paid ever.

The kingdom is also planning to support all clubs to extend offers to other well-known players. They also reported that the management is also planning to bid for the hosting rights of the FIFA World Cup 2030. The next edition of the tournament is set to be hosted jointly by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
