Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia? He is evaluating the offer of 200 million a year – Corriere.it

Half a billion euros for two and a half years: the temptation Saudi Arabia, for Cristiano Ronaldo, is getting stronger. Indeed, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca, the Portuguese champion is seriously considering the idea of ​​saying goodbye to European football, basically for… money. The offer from Al Nassr, a Riyadh-based club founded in 1955, would be truly mind-boggling: 200 million a season for two and a half years. That is: 500 million net. That is: half a billion. More than 550 thousand euros per day.

Numbers that make the head spin even for someone like Cr7 who, having reached the end of his career, would not even remotely “need” to settle himself and dozens (probably hundreds) of future generations of his family with a move to Saudi Arabia. Basically, however, Cristiano Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes will have looked around well after the earthquake set up in the Manchester United house, with the famous interview with the British journalist Piers Morgan who caused so much discussion. And they will have found that, despite being a sacred football monster like Cristiano, the daisy to browse for the Portuguese was rather bare.

It is true that Ronaldo is now 100% focused on the World Cup with Fernando Santos’ national team (he became the only player in history to score goals in 5 different World Cups
), but in all these weeks of tussle over his future, the options that have come up have always been few: Saudi Arabia — in fact —, a return to Sporting Lisbon (which, however, certainly could not afford dizzying engagements) or some timid approach from two-three Premier League clubs. Perhaps the solution has been found, even if the variable withdrawal in the event of a triumph in the World Cup cannot (yet) be completely excluded.
