How much money will Ronaldo make at Al-Nassr? Salary and contract details

Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese striker, has left Manchester United with bitterness and joined the Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr.

One of the greatest careers in the annals of elite European football is thought to have come to an end with Ronaldo's move.

The Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr confirmed the deal with a tweet which reads: “This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome @Cristiano to your new home @AlNassrFC.”

The five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or trophy has won the Champions League five times, four times with Real Madrid and once with Manchester United. His 140 goals are the most ever scored in Europe's top club competition.

With 450 goals overall for Real Madrid, Ronaldo is also the club's all-time leading scorer. Last year, he broke the record for most goals scored by a player in men's international football, and he currently leads Portugal with 118 senior goals.

Who is Al Nassr manager?

Rudi Garcia, a former manager of Lyon, now leads Al Nassr, a team that includes ex-Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina and forward Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon.

The Riyadh-based team has won Saudi Arabia's top division nine times, a total only surpassed by Al Hilal, who have won 18 championships.
