Cristiano Ronaldo: How Much He Has Earned in Saudi Pro League in Two Years

• Cristiano Ronaldo signed one of the biggest deals in sporting history when he moved to Al Nassr in 2023
• Ronaldo had just seen his Manchester United contract terminated after falling out with Erik ten Hag
• Forbes ranked the Portuguese legend as the best-paid sportsman by a mile in the whole world this year

Given all he has achieved over the years, Cristiano Ronaldo's place in football's history is forever guaranteed.

He is easily one of the best players to have ever graced a football pitch, with his achievements transcending the sport immeasurably.

In late 2022, he fell out with Erik ten Hag during his second spell at Manchester United. He gave an unauthorised explosive interview to Piers Morgan, criticising the Dutch tactician and other facets of the club.

The club backed Ten Hag's decision to kick him out of the club, and heading into the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, one of the GOATs was clubless.
