More and more rumors appear that Cristiano Ronaldo is close to the possibility of landing at Al Nassr. Marca (Spain) even confirmed that the two sides had reached a contract agreement with a term of up to 7 years. Specifically, the first 2 years Ronaldo will play as a player, the rest of the time CR7 will play the role of ambassador of the Saudi Arabia – Greece alliance in the race to win the right to host the 2030 World Cup.
Ronaldo will dock at Al Nassr to receive a record income?
If he nods, Ronaldo will receive an income of up to 175 million pounds per year (nearly 5,000 billion VND) and promises to increase even more after playing the role of ambassador. Really terrible numbers!
All information about Al Nassr
Al Nassr, founded on October 24, 1955, is one of the most successful football teams in Saudi Arabia. The Riyadh-based club has won a total of 27 titles, including 9 Saudi Arabian Championships (Saudi Pro League – SPL), 1 Asian Cup (1997/1998) and 1 final round of the AFC Champions League (Asian Cup – 1995).
After a period of glory in the early 90s of the last century, Al Nassr began to decline. The team even nearly got relegated in the 2006/2007 season. It took 10 years, thanks to the strong investment from the owner, that Al Nassr regained its original position.
Al Nassr in Saudi means “victory”. This name is often used by many clubs in the Arab bloc such as Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, but in terms of reputation, the team playing at SPL is still the most prominent.
The traditional color of Al Nassr’s shirt is yellow – blue, representing the beautiful colors of the desert sand dunes – the deep blue of the Arabian Sea. Despite being rich in tradition, Al Nassr only owns Mrsool Park with a capacity of 25,000 seats.
Al Nassr is being led by coach Rudi Garcia, a French strategist who has been at Lille, AS Roma and Lyon. Notably, the current coaching staff of Al Nassr has more than 70% of Portuguese nationality, compatriots with Ronaldo.
Al Nassr used to spend a lot to have the service of the former Brazilian player, Denilson
If he arrives at SPL, CR7 is not the first player to win the Golden Ball wearing Al Nassr shirt. Previously, the Bulgarian football legend, Hristo Stoichkov joined the club in 1998. The 1994 Golden Ball then made a big contribution to helping Al Nassr win the Asian Super Cup that year.
Denilson – the World Cup champion with Brazil in 2002, also became the most expensive signing in Al Nassr history. The samba player once arrived at the Saudi Arabian club in the summer of 2006, 3 seasons before joining Hai Phong club.
How rich is Al Nassr?
Accepting to pay a record salary for Ronaldo, Al Nassr must have strong financial potential.
The current president of the team is Musalli Al Muammar, a famous former journalist and sports data analyst in Saudi Arabia. However, the real boss of Al Nassr has a much more grandiose background and family background.
According to Arab News, Prince Abdul Rahman bin Saud was once considered the biggest boss of Al Nassr. Thanks to his love and strong investment for nearly 40 years, Mrsool Park’s owner club has grown from an amateur team to the most successful team in Saudi Arabia.
If he arrives at Al Nassr, Ronaldo will enjoy a salary of 3.4 million pounds/week (nearly 100 billion VND/week), more than twice as high as Kylian Mbappe
Although Prince Abdul Rahman bin Saud passed away in 2005, the position of owner of Al Nassr continued to be handed over to successive princes such as Mamdouh bin Abdul Rahman bin Saud, Faisal bin Abdul Rahman bin Saud or Faisal bin Turki bin Nasser.
Run by a member of the Saudi royal family, it is easy to see why Al Nassr is willing to invest so heavily in the Ronaldo deal. Not only in terms of expertise, the presence of the Portuguese superstar also helps elevate SPL and promote the image of the Middle Eastern country to international friends.
