They go all the way. They already want to extend Ronaldo’s contract. Here’s the plan

At the end of November 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo parted ways with Manchester United. The farewell was accompanied by a lot of controversy, but the Portuguese did not have to look for employment for long. A month later, he signed a contract with Saudi Al-Nassr. Under it, he will earn as much as $ 200 million per year of the game.

Al-Nassr plans to keep Ronaldo for longer. The club is considering a contract extension

Ronaldo’s contract runs until 2025, when he will be 40 years old. Many experts believe that this is the last contract in the Portuguese football career. Al-Nassr has a different plan for Ronaldo, according to ESPN journalists.

“The officials of the Saudi club believe that it is unlikely that the striker will change the club before hanging up his boots. In this situation, Al-Nassr has not ruled out the possibility of extending the contract if Ronaldo wants to continue his football career,” we read.

Bringing Ronaldo to Al-Nassr turned out to be a hit, primarily from a marketing point of view. However, the club’s authorities hope that the Portuguese will help the team reach the top of Asian football as well.

“Al-Nassr is trying to use Ronaldo’s advice, which will allow the club to improve also off the pitch. The Portuguese arrived in Saudi Arabia with a list of ‘best practices’ that Al-Nassr representatives are working on implementing. Moreover, the club is determined to use The striker’s experience gained at Manchester United and Real Madrid. The activists believe that Ronaldo will help them become a powerhouse not only in the Saudi league, but throughout Asia, “the journalists emphasized.

So far, Ronaldo has played two matches – a friendly with PSG (4: 5) and a league match with Ettifaq (1: 0) FC. In the first match he showed himself well and even scored two goals. He also showed off some soccer tricks. However, in his official debut, i.e. in the match against Ettifaq FC, he did not shine so much. Apart from a few feints, he was completely invisible. Despite this, it is clear that it is on him that the team intends to base the weight of the game. This was admitted by Al-Nassr coach Rudi Garcia.

“I’m happy with Ronaldo’s debut in the league. Even though he didn’t score, he helped the team triumph and boosted morale. Of course, the Portuguese is asking for the ball and we have to give it to him because he is a player who can make the difference. We have to work a lot on our positioning on the pitch. Sometimes we had crosses, but too few people were involved in actions in the penalty area – emphasized the coach.
