Before moving to Al-Nasr, Ronaldo was hoping for an offer from Real Madrid
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo was hoping to get an offer from Real Madrid ahead of a move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nasr. On Saturday, December 31, according to Marca.
The publication notes that after leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo counted on continuing his career in one of the top European clubs. When the Portuguese national team flew out of the World Cup in Qatar, the striker kept fit at the Real Madrid base and hoped to receive an offer from the team, but this did not happen.
Ronaldo defended the colors of Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018. Together with the “Royal Club”, the Portuguese won the Champions League four times and twice became the winner of the championship and the Spanish Cup.
On December 30, Ronaldo signed a contract with Saudi Al-Nasr. Under the contract, he will earn $ 200 million per year, including commercial payments. Thanks to this, the 37-year-old Portuguese became the highest paid athlete in the world, displacing the Mexican boxer Saul Alvarez from the first place in the ranking.
