Spanish newspaper Marca has reported that Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nasr is complete and that the Portuguese star will wear the yellow emblem starting early next year.
The newspaper said the total value of the Portuguese international contract would be close to 200 million euros (about $211 million) per season, making Don the highest paid athlete in the world. The newspaper indicated that the contract with Al-Nasr is for two and a half seasons.
The Madeira Rocket name has been associated with Al Nasr, the first team to represent the continent of Asia in the Club World Cup, after Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United was terminated prior to the start of the World Cup in Qatar, making him free to lead negotiations with any team. Don terminated his mutual agreement with the Red Devils, despite remaining 6 months on his contract, following statements he made to the press that were deemed “offensive” to Manchester United and the team manager.
And the 37-year-old wants to wear the emblem of a club playing in the Champions League, but it was the win, which had a wide audience, from the very beginning showed more interest in the inclusion of Ronaldo, the newspaper writes. Al-Nasr, coached by Frenchman Rudy Garcia, has been aiming to regain the Saudi Pro League title from Roshen and break the dominance of his traditional rival, Al-Hilal, over the past three years.
