Given the recent media attention on Cristiano Ronaldo and the setbacks, he is presently experiencing in comparison to all previous periods in his career, despite having had a brilliant football career. Let’s attempt to comprehend what actually transpired.
Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, recently joined the Saudi Arabian team, Al Nassr. Ronaldo signed a contract with the Asian club Al Nassr for two and a half years (30 months), or until June 2025, with a salary of 1,800 crore rupees for the entire duration of the contract, including commercial agreements. That is a significant sum of money for a professional football player, and it is the largest wage ever.
Ronaldo’s home is Manchester United then Why did he join the Al Nassr club?
In a November interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo criticized his former team Manchester United for having infrastructure that was the same as what he had seen when he was 21, 22, and 23, and for not incorporating advancements like other football clubs. He also criticized manager Erik ten Hag. After this interview was made public online, Manchester United released Ronaldo, allowing him to sign with any club that so desire. In addition to the publication of the interview, it appears that Ronaldo and coach Ten Hag are at odds with one another. Ronaldo was unexpectedly benched for a number of games by Coach Ten Hag, and he also displayed poor behavior on other occasions throughout the season. Ronaldo resisted being replaced towards the very end of a match between United and Tottenham when United was heading for victory.

Initially, there were discussions that Ronaldo is joining the Al Nassr club, but Ronaldo dismissed them as rumors and later it turned out to be true. Ronaldo is a well-known figure with a sizable fan base, so any club that signs him will make a ton of money from the advertising and revenue that one man may generate. Other clubs could approach Ronaldo, but they wouldn’t be able to pay what he is asking, and Ronaldo isn’t lowering the fee, which made the situation unsolvable.
