The first season of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr has been done and dusted. The Portuguese didn’t conclude the season on a good note as he couldn’t manage to clinch a trophy. While many had high hopes for him to lift silverware with the Middle Eastern club, they failed to win any.

In fact, after such a poor season, many expected him to leave the club after just six months. However, the player looks committed to his contract and will lead his side to glory. Ahead of the new season, the Portuguese have high goals lined up. However, before the new campaign, they will be playing emphatic friendly fixtures. In fact, they may earn a significant amount as well.

Before kicking off their new season, Al Nassr and Ronaldo will be playing two thrilling friendly ties. The first one will be played against French giants PSG, while the other one is against this year’s Champions League finalists, Inter Milan. Both of the fixtures will be played in Japan on July 25 and 27, respectively.

However, aside from fixtures, they are set to pocket extravagant sums, as per several reports. Al Nassr will earn $6 million for playing both matches. Aside from the millions, there are other perks. The company organizing the fixture allocated a private plane for the club’s transportation to the Al-Aalami.

Furthermore, the company will also require several television interviews with Ronaldo and other stars. Indeed, it looks like a pretty sweet deal for all parties. The organizing company will also earn significant sums via ticket sales and other campaigns.
