Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has joined a team in Saudi Arabia after signing a staggering £173 MILLION A YEAR deal following his bitter departure from Manchester United.
The 37-year-old Portugal international left Manchester United last month on the eve of the World Cup. It came after an explosive TV interview with Piers Morgan - which saw Ronaldo claim he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect manager Erik ten Hag.
He has signed with Saudi side Al Nassr in a deal which will make him one of the highest paid sports stars of all time. The full deal is believed to run over seven years in total - with Ronaldo taking on an ambassadorial role once he hangs up his boots. Adding up his reported £173million deal over that time would see him coin it in to the tune of £1.2 billion over the course of that contract.
