Cristiano Ronaldo has officially extended his contract with Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr until 2027, securing a jaw-dropping financial deal that cements his legacy not only as a footballing icon but also as a global business powerhouse. The renewed agreement ensures that Ronaldo will remain a central figure in Saudi football for years to come, further boosting the league’s international image.
The renewed deal is valued at a staggering £178 million annually—equivalent to approximately KSh 31.65 billion. This massive sum includes his playing salary, commercial endorsements, and image rights, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. Ronaldo’s continued stay in Saudi Arabia reinforces the country’s commitment to becoming a key player in global sports and entertainment.
The breakdown of Ronaldo’s earnings is nothing short of astonishing. On a monthly basis, he is expected to earn around £14.58 million (KSh 2.59 billion). Weekly, this translates to about £3.42 million (KSh 608 million). His daily income is estimated at £480,000 (KSh 85.35 million), while per hour, he rakes in roughly £20,357 (KSh 3.62 million). Incredibly, he earns about £339.28 per minute—equivalent to KSh 60,327—and £5.65 (KSh 986) every second.
Ronaldo initially joined Al Nassr in January 2023, shifting from a celebrated European career to the rapidly growing Saudi Pro League. His arrival sparked global attention, attracting fans, investors, and sponsors to the Middle East. The Portuguese star’s performance on and off the pitch has had a monumental impact, prompting Al Nassr to secure his services for an even longer term.
Beyond his base salary, the contract includes a variety of performance-related bonuses. These incentives are tied to team achievements such as winning league titles, continental trophies, and boosting the club’s overall brand value. Should he lead Al Nassr to glory in upcoming seasons, Ronaldo could earn significantly more through these bonus structures.
In addition to the annual wage, he reportedly received a signing bonus of £24.5 million, which could rise to £38 million if he fulfills the full duration of the renewed contract. To sweeten the deal, Ronaldo is also set to receive a 15% ownership stake in Al Nassr, valued at an estimated £33 million. Furthermore, he stands to earn bonuses of £4 million if he wins the Golden Boot and another £8 million if the club secures the league title.
If all the components of his deal are met, Ronaldo is expected to earn over half a billion pounds by the time his contract ends in 2027, when he will be 42 years old. This monumental agreement not only highlights his continuing value in the world of football but also showcases the scale at which sports and entertainment figures are now operating.
