Legendary Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi club Al Nasser two days ago. All football fans were astonished by the transfer, and Ronaldo supporters were dissatisfied. The latest claims indicate that Ronaldo hoped to get a contract offer from La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid just before he committed to the Saudi club.
Ronaldo formerly played for Real Madrid. The 37-year-old Portuguese legend was hopeful that they would call him back because of this. The star’s training at the Real Madrid training facility sparked a lot of rumours following Portugal’s elimination from the World Cup. The celebrity’s son joined Real Madrid after leaving Manchester United.
The athlete waited for 40 days for Real to make an offer before signing the contract with the Saudi club. The player has committed to a 2.5-year deal with Saudi club Al-Nasser. The star receives a 200 million euro salary. Thus, the approximate value of Indian currency is 1950 crore rupees. With the Saudi club, Ronaldo has negotiated the largest-ever sum of money. The athlete will represent Saudi football as an ambassador in addition to being a player.
In doing so, it is hoped to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s candidature to host the World Cup in 2030. During the World Cup, the player’s contract was terminated by his former team, Manchester United. The player’s severe criticism of United manager Ten Haag and the management in an interview led to the contract’s cancellation.
