Ronaldo Signs With Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr Football Club
- Striker unlikely to add to his record Champions League tally
- Portugal player was free agent after leaving Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo signed a 2 1/2-year contract with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr club, a deal that could make the five-time footballer of the year one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.
Al Nassr didn’t say how much the contract was worth, but the UK’s Sun newspaper said the 37-year-old Portugal striker would earn more than $200 million a year. He reportedly made about £26 million ($31 million) a year at Manchester United, his previous team.
