Saudi Arabian club offers €200m-a-year contract
Sports director Al Nasra Marcelo Salazar said that negotiations with the striker Cristiano Ronaldo continue, and they are being conducted at a level far beyond his authority.
“I am not authorized to say yes or no. Let’s wait and see how things develop until the end of the year. As you can see, these are negotiations of a huge scale, not only for the club, but also for the country, and for world football, and higher authorities should conduct them. At the right time, the future will open.”
Earlier it was reported that Ronaldo agreed to a seven-year contract with a salary of about 200 million euros per year. At the same time, it is assumed that the Portuguese will spend two and a half years for the club directly on the football field. The remaining 4.5 – he will work as an ambassador for Saudi Arabia if the country’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup wins.
At the end of November, Ronaldo, by mutual agreement, ceased cooperation with Manchester United. The main reason for the departure of the Portuguese was a scandalous interview with the famous British journalist Piers Morgan.
Al-Nasr leads the Saudi Arabian Premier League standings with 22 points after nine rounds.
