Al Nassr to Receive $10 Million Boost as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Side Pounce Upon Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami’s Failure

Inter Miami had agreed to play 2 friendlies in China during the off-season. However, the plans did not go forward as the matches got canceled due to unforeseen reasons. The good news now is that they have managed to get Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo on board to play the friendlies in January. A recent report claims that the Saudi side will also receive a mega bonus of $10 million.

The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in China will also be going to benefit the viewership of the Chinese League.

Al Nassr to receive a big financial boost for playing friendlies in China

According to multiple reports, Al Nassr has agreed to play 2 friendlies in China in January. This is because they have a big break because of the AFC Asian Cup. Hence, the Saudi side has taken advantage of the free window. They have accepted a deal from Chinese organizers to play 2 friendlies in the country. Cristiano Ronaldo is also likely to play in the friendlies, much to the excitement of the soccer fans in China.

Al Nassr is also set to receive a mega financial boost for playing in China. The organizers will pay them $10 million for the 2 friendlies in the Asian nation. Hence, the deal makes sense for all. Inter Miami also would have had the same offer. But the friendlies got canceled. In the end, the MLS side trained in Miami and ended up playing a friendly against New York City FC. This friendly also saw Lionel Messi showcasing his 8th Ballon d’Or in the Noche d’Or ceremony.

From the looks of it, Al Nassr pounced at the right moment to take advantage of Inter Miami’s canceled friendlies. This bunch of friendlies also makes sense for Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi League, and also the Chinese League. Here’s how.

The arrangement of friendlies benefits all the parties involved including Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has a busy schedule ahead of him with Al Nassr and the Portugal national team. After the next international break, Al Nassr will play a league game every 2-3 days. They also have games in the King’s Cup and the AFC Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo also has 2024 Euros to play with his national team. However, the fixture break in January could have impacted his fitness levels. Hence, the friendlies in China will act as a good form of match practice.

Saudi Pro League and Chinese League will also reap the benefits. The SPL will be able to promote their league in Asia, especially in China with the involvement of a player like Cristiano Ronaldo. Chinese Super League will also make progress in terms of viewership among local audiences. Will you be watching the Al Nassr friendlies in China? Let us know in the comments below.
