Cristiano Ronaldo has shattered yet another record this time off the pitch with what is now considered the most lucrative contract in sporting history. The Portuguese superstar has signed a fresh two-year extension with Al-Nassr FC, reportedly valued at an eye-watering £492 million.
A Contract That Redefines Athlete Wealth
Ronaldo's base salary is said to be a staggering £488,000 per day, a number that alone would place him above the GDP of some small nations. The total value of the deal could exceed £500 million with bonuses and ambassadorial roles.

More Than a Footballer: A Global Ambassador
The contract isn't just about football. Ronaldo will serve as a “dream ambassador” for Saudi Arabia, promoting its Vision 2030 tourism and soft power campaigns. That role alone could push his total earnings beyond half a billion pounds over two years.
Still Delivering on the Pitch
At 39, Ronaldo continues to defy expectations. He scored 35 goals in 41 matches last season, clinching the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second consecutive year. With 99 goals in 111 appearances for Al-Nassr, he’s on track to hit his 1,000 career goal target currently sitting at 938 goals.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Ronaldo confirmed the news:
“A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
What This Means for Sports and Business
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr contract is more than a paycheck it's a geopolitical and commercial investment. Saudi Arabia is using global sports icons to elevate its status on the world stage, and Ronaldo is the crown jewel of that strategy.
From earnings to equity to national branding, Ronaldo’s deal sets a new benchmark for athlete influence and wealth blurring the lines between football, business, and diplomacy.
