1,000 Career Goals? Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mega-Money New Al-Nassr Contract Revealed
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to dominate headlines worldwide, and recent speculation about his future has intensified. With his contract at Al-Nassr set to expire this summer, Ronaldo fueled rumors of a potential exit with a cryptic Instagram post following the club’s last Saudi Pro League match:
“This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.”
Fans and media widely interpreted this as a farewell, with various clubs rumored to be interested in signing him for the upcoming Club World Cup.
Ronaldo Nears Record-Breaking Contract Extension
However, reports indicate Ronaldo is close to finalizing a two-year extension with Al-Nassr, which would keep him as the world’s highest-paid footballer. According to Marca and other sources, the deal would earn him approximately €185 million per year — equating to roughly €15 million per month, €3.8 million per week, and around €550,000 per day.
Additionally, Ronaldo is expected to receive a minority ownership stake in the club, reflecting his importance both on and off the pitch. He may also have influence over future player signings, underscoring his growing role in the club’s direction.
Future Ambitions: Club Ownership and Legacy
Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards in December, Ronaldo hinted at his long-term plans beyond playing:
“I’m not a coach, I’m never going to be a coach, nor the president of a club. Maybe the owner of a club. If I were the owner, I would clarify things and address what I believe is lacking.”
His presence has significantly raised the profile of the Saudi Pro League, even though he has yet to capture a major trophy with Al-Nassr.
The 1,000 Goal Milestone: Still Within Reach?
Despite approaching 40, Ronaldo remains motivated by the milestone of 1,000 professional goals—a mark few can realistically achieve. In November, he commented,
“One thousand goals is great, but if it doesn’t come, I’m already the player in history with the most goals.”
At Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has already netted an impressive 93 goals in 105 appearances, but reaching 1,000 would require several more seasons of prolific scoring—a challenging task as he nears his 40th birthday in February.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s next chapter appears set to continue in Saudi Arabia, where his record-breaking contract and potential ownership stake signal a unique legacy both on and off the field.
