Ronaldo's tenure in Saudi Arabia hasn't been without its challenges on the trophy front. Despite his individual brilliance, he has yet to secure a single official trophy with Al Nassr in his two-and-a-half seasons there. Following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, which saw the club miss out on AFC Champions League Elite qualification, Ronaldo had hinted at a potential departure, sparking weeks of speculation regarding his future.
However, Ronaldo ultimately put an end to the transfer rumors, and on Thursday afternoon, Al Nassr officially announced that their captain had signed a two-year extension. The Sun has since revealed the astonishing financial details of the agreement. The £24.5 million signing-on fee is set to increase to £38 million if he activates the second year of his contract.

Beyond the initial fee, Ronaldo's annual wages with Al Nassr are reported to be a mind-blowing £178 million. This figure means the Portugal star stands to earn a base of £492 million over the duration of the deal, a sum that could exceed half a billion pounds if he triggers performance-related bonuses, including an extra £4 million for winning the Golden Boot and £8 million if Al Nassr claims the league title.
In a remarkable addition to the contract, Al Nassr has also reportedly granted Ronaldo a 15 percent ownership stake in the club, valued at approximately £33 million. This unique clause underscores the club's long-term vision for Ronaldo, who they hope will transition into a significant club ambassadorial role in the coming week. This groundbreaking deal not only solidifies Ronaldo's financial standing but also highlights the immense ambition of the Saudi Pro League to attract and retain global footballing icons.
