After leaving Manchester United for a second time, Ronaldo signed with Al Nassr in a game-changing December 2022 transfer, penning a deal which reportedly sees him earn £177 million per year.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 97 goals in 109 games for the club and previously went on record to say he would "probably retire" with the Riyadh outfit and was "happy at the club.

MARCA noted that the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend was poised to receive a salary of €183 million - which would still make him the highest-paid player in the world.
