Cristiano Ronaldo is going to continue playing in Saudi Arabia for one more season and he is going to do so with a financially irrefutable contract, but it is not the only argument to remain linked to Al Nassr, in what seems to be a long-term union and with a commitment to fidelity that is proof against any temptation. The Portuguese is going to become the owner of the team, with a small participation, but which demonstrates the trust placed in him.
The club’s leaders, in an attempt to demonstrate their admiration and degree of satisfaction with what CR7 is doing since his arrival in Riyadh, have offered him five percent of the ownership of the club, a historic Saudi sports entity and which is in the midst of a structural change, with the arrival of a new CEO and president in recent months.
“For me it is an honor that the league is growing and that many star players come to make it an even better and more competitive league”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude, since he arrived, has been extremely positive. If the Portuguese has had and has something, it is maximum commitment wherever he has been and, since he arrived, he has taken Al Nassr as his own, a circumstance that will now be real with a small percentage of the club.
The renewal of the contract did not admit of doubt on the part of the ownership and leaders of Al Nassr, who seek to give the team enough tools to grow and compete again for a League championship that has risen in demand with two teams above it like Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.
The Al-Nassr player reaffirmed his words of praise for the Saudi league over the French one.
Looking to the future
As the economic issue has been made known, it is another important factor, since the forward has renewed for one season in exchange for 183 million euros, that is, 15.25 million per month, 3.8 per week and 550,000 per day , which continues to place him at the highest salary of footballers around the world.
In addition, there is another factor that has also tipped the balance in favor of continuity and the promise of making a more competitive team today. In fact, it is most likely that in this winter market there will be one or two additions to the Saudi club.
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to surround himself with footballers he trusts. One of them, as MARCA announced, could be Casemiro, with problems in his team, due to the poor sporting situation at Manchester United. If it comes to fruition, it would be the third time in which the Portuguese and Brazilian share a dressing room. The first, and for five seasons, took place at Real Madrid. The second was much shorter, since they were barely five months together at Old Trafford.
