Hours After Retirement Update, Cristiano Ronaldo Set For Extra $200,000,000 Payday as Al Nassr Eye Extension

Cristiano Ronaldo could see a massive payday windfall in the not-so-distant future. Ronaldo joined Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr in January 2023 and has been the marquee signing that has started the butterfly effect of the transfer of Europe’s biggest soccer stars to the SPL. Now, CR7 looks like he could make an extra $200 million should he extend his contract with Al Nassr. This comes after earlier reports that Ronaldo has informed Al Nassr chiefs that he has decided to retire at the club.

Ronaldo’s current contract with Al Nassr expires in 2025, but the Portuguese star is reportedly looking for a massive $200 million extension after his contract with the Riyadh-based club expires. Ronaldo’s current contract is worth a reported $214.04 million, so in all likelihood his extension could see his earnings at either around the same amount or maybe more.

According to recent breaking news, Al Nassr’s hierarchy is looking at extending CR7’s stint in Saudi Arabia by putting a new contract on the table up to 2026.

As this tweet on X, by CristianoXtra_ states: “Al Nassr management wants to extend Ronaldo’s contract until 2026. The club wants the legend to stay for as long as possible.”

Ronaldo has had some remarkable performances for Al Nassr and is now in his second season with the Saudi club after playing the second half of the 2022/23 season since his January move. CR7 put in another brilliant performance in Al Nassr’s thrilling victory over Al Ahli as well.

CR7 struck again in the 52nd minute, scoring with his left foot for the second time from just outside the box. Despite Al Ahli’s valiant attempts to draw the game, Al Nassr won 4-3 on the night with Ronaldo’s teammate Talisca also bagging a brace.

So it now looks certain that Ronaldo will look to push Al Nassr all the way in their bid to win the Saudi Pro League by the end of the season.
