Who is the highest-paid football player in history?
The highest-paid player in football history is not Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe; rather, it is this man. Compared to Messi's current compensation at French club PSG, which is roughly GBP 35 million annually, Ronaldo's new salary at Al Nassr will be astronomical. Cristiano Ronaldo, a prominent Portuguese striker, has signed a two-year contract with Al-Nassr, a well-liked Saudi Arabian football team.
Al-Nassr announced the agreement on Friday, according to ESPN. Ronaldo, 37, will earn a staggering USD 75 million annually, making him the highest-paid football player in history. Ronaldo was cited by ESPN as stating, "I am happy to experience a new football league in a different nation," in a statement issued by Al-Nassr confirming the arrangement.
"It is tremendously gratifying to see Al Nassr in saudi arabia grow and achieve its goals for both men's and women's football. The recent world cup performance of saudi arabia shows that this nation has high expectations for its soccer teams and a wealth of potential, said the former Real Madrid player. It's interesting to note that Ronaldo's new wage will far exceed Messi's at the French club paris Saint-Germain. Messi has a deal that pays him approximately 35 million pounds annually (over Rs 350 crore).
