PSG to net huge fee for Saudi All-Star XI friendly featuring Cristiano Ronaldo

Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly receive a huge fee of £8.8million for playing a one-off friendly with the Saudi All-Star XI, a team that will feature former Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese forward superstar is finally making his first appearance since moving to Saudi Arabia, but it isn't going to be for his new club, Al-Nassr. Ronaldo signed for the Saudi outfit more than two weeks ago, but with a ban hanging over his head as a result of his behaviour in a clash with Everton in April 2022, he is yet to make an appearance in the Saudi Pro League.

Nevertheless, he's free to play in an all-star XI exhibition clash with Lionel Messi's PSG on Thursday. With plenty of people focusing on Ronaldo's imminent debut, little attention has been paid to the substantial fee that the Parisian outfit will be walking away with.
