Cristiano Ronaldo has once again shattered the limits of football — not with a goal this time, but with a contract that’s making headlines around the world. The Portuguese legend has officially extended his stay at Al Nassr until 2027, sealing what is being described as the richest deal in football history — a contract reportedly worth an eye-popping ₦1 billion per day.
Yes, you read that right — ₦1 billion a day!
Breaking Down the Billionaire Deal
Ronaldo’s new Al Nassr contract is valued at a jaw-dropping £178 million per year — that translates to:
- £3.4 million per week
- £485,000 per day
- Roughly ₦1 billion daily in Nigerian currency.
And that’s just the base salary!
On top of that, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will receive:

- And his own 16-person personal staff, including chefs, drivers, security, and housekeepers.
This deal doesn’t just rewrite football contracts — it redefines athlete compensation across all sports.
Ronaldo’s Message to the World
To celebrate the historic deal, Ronaldo shared photos on social media alongside Al Nassr chairman Abdullah Al-Majed, holding a jersey emblazoned with “RONALDO 2027.”
On his X (formerly Twitter) page, the superstar wrote:
“A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
It’s a powerful message from a player who, even at 39, shows no signs of slowing down — on or off the pitch.
From Superstar to Global Power Player
Since joining Al Nassr in 2022, Ronaldo hasn’t just delivered on the field — he has elevated the Saudi Pro League’s profile globally. His arrival sparked a wave of interest, investment, and international attention that continues to reshape football in the region.
Now, with this record-smashing contract, he’s not just a player — he’s an institution. His deal signals Saudi Arabia’s relentless ambition to place its league among the best in the world, using the world’s most marketable footballer as a cornerstone.
Final Whistle
Ronaldo’s new deal is more than a paycheque — it’s a statement. A statement of intent from Al Nassr, a legacy milestone for Ronaldo, and a new benchmark for sports business as a whole.
With over ₦1 billion per day pouring in, the question now is: What next can Ronaldo possibly conquer?
Whatever it is, one thing is clear — Cristiano Ronaldo is still making history.
