Did Cristiano Ronaldo get a new club contract?
Ahead of the 2022 World Cup being held in the tiny middle-eastern nation of Qatar, there was speculation about whether or not Cristiano would be relied upon for not only his stellar performances on the pitch but also his leadership among his teammates as their captain.
In the team's third match in the group stage, Cristiano was subbed out in the 65th minute and his team ended up losing 2-1 to South Korea. In the next stage, the Round of 16, Portugal beat Switzerland by a resounding 6-1 on December 6, but Cristiano was nowhere to be found on the field until head coach Fernando Santos selected him to replace fellow striker João Félix in the 73rd minute.
After leaving Premier League club Manchester United, Cristiano acquired a new contract with the Riyadh-based soccer team Al-Nassr in the Saudi Professional League of Saudi Arabia. NBC Sports noted that the contract is worth more than $207 million each year and is for 30 months or two and a half years. That said, it looks like his net worth can only go up from here!
