Cristiano Ronaldo will sign a contract with Al-Nassr

After Portugal’s exit from the World Cup in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo was heavily courted by Al-Nassr Arabs, who lured the Lusitanian footballer with an astronomical salary.

According to MARCA, the two sides have finally reached an agreement and the deal is expected to be initialed in the next few hours.

Cristiano Ronaldo will earn about 200 million euros per season and become the highest paid athlete in the world.

“The deal between Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr is a matter of a few hours. The last contractual details are being clarified, the agreement is 99% concluded. Everything will be official tonight or tomorrow.” – the Spaniards wrote.

Even during the World Cup in Qatar, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United, and the Portuguese did not receive any specific offer from Europe.

In the end, Ronaldo chose a financially beneficial offer.
