Ronaldo continues to stick with Al-Nassr. |
However, not everyone was "serious" about this information - including David De Gea, Ronaldo's former teammate at Manchester United, who did not hesitate to make sarcastic comments on social media.
According to British media, the Portuguese superstar has signed a two-year contract with Al-Nassr, worth up to £492 million. This is an unprecedented figure in the history of sports , with a basic salary of up to £488,000 per day - about £5.60 per second. Ronaldo also received a signing bonus of £24.5 million, increasing to £38 million if he continues to play for a second year, and holds a 15% stake in the club - worth an estimated £33 million.
Faced with the "unbelievable" numbers, De Gea left a short but sarcastic comment under Ronaldo's contract announcement post on the X platform (Twitter): "And play football for free?", accompanied by a laughing emoji and wide eyes.
De Gea and Ronaldo played together during a brief but tumultuous time at Manchester United. Both left Old Trafford amid controversy: Ronaldo left after an explosive interview criticising coach Erik ten Hag, while De Gea was released as a free agent in the summer of 2023, making way for Andre Onana.
However, the personal relationship between the two stars is still very good. They maintain regular interactions on social networks, and De Gea has commented on Ronaldo's posts many times.

Ronaldo owns a record contract when he renewed with Al-Nassr. |
De Gea has now found a new home at Fiorentina, where he has just extended his contract until 2028. Meanwhile, Ronaldo continues to shine in Saudi Arabia. At the age of 40, he scored 35 goals in 41 games last season, winning the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second consecutive time. In total, CR7 has scored 99 goals in 111 games for Al-Nassr, bringing his career total to 938 goals - approaching the 1,000 goal goal he has publicly pursued.
The new contract will not only bring Ronaldo a "super-imaginable" income, but also turn him into a "mobile empire". According to The Sun , Al-Nassr will cover the entire cost of 16 staff to serve the Ronaldo family, including drivers, chefs, butlers, security guards and gardeners - at a total cost of about £1.4 million a year. In addition, there is a £4 million allowance for private jet use, along with the potential to earn an additional £60 million from promotional contracts with businesses in Saudi Arabia.
At 40, Ronaldo isn't just playing football - he's redefining what it means to be a footballer in an era of global football merchandising. And De Gea? A light-hearted but meaningful joke: sometimes, wealth needs a little humor to balance it out.
