Cristiano is lured to Saudi Arabia with a fantastic salary. Why such money to an aging football star?
The Portuguese striker gave a scandalous interview before the World Cup in Qatar and already during the tournament terminated his contract with Manchester United. Ronaldo aimed to perform at a high level, however, apparently, he will continue his career … in Saudi Arabia.
The local club offered him just space money. So much Cristiano did not earn even at the peak of his career!
Ronaldo is mired in scandals and went to extreme measures
Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of scandals throughout the year. Either he will not come to the Manchester United training camp, then he will leave the match before it ends, then he will freak out in an interview, then he will celebrate a goal that he did not score and demand that FIFA write it down for himself. The Portuguese, at 37, seems to have completely stopped thinking about football, although he assured that after Manchester he wants to play in a club that claims trophies in Europe.
However, the authoritative Spanish publication Marca learned that Ronaldo would soon leave for Saudi Arabia and play for the local club Al-Nasr. It is expected that in two and a half years, Cristiano under the contract will earn half a billion euros, or 200 million a year. CBS Sports Golazo journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed this information, noting that the Saudi club is completely confident in the deal due to the fact that Ronaldo did not refuse a possible transfer in the summer. The deal has not been officially closed yet, but everything is moving towards signing an agreement.
Ronaldo in a dream will earn more than 256 teachers in Russia in a month!
And here the most interesting begins. Simple arithmetic calculations make it possible to find out that in one hour, under a contract with Al-Nasr, the Portuguese will receive almost one and a half million rubles. And in one minute his earnings will be 24 thousand rubles. This is more than the average pension in Russia in 2022, which is 19 thousand rubles with kopecks.
Move on. The average salary in Russia is 56 thousand rubles. That is, Ronaldo will receive the same amount in a little over two minutes. There is an even more interesting analysis. Cristiano sleeps on average about 7.5-8 hours a day – including night and daytime sleep. This has been repeatedly told by the British scientist Nick Littlehale, who has been working with the Portuguese for a long time and helping him to create the correct daily routine. But something else is interesting. It turns out that while sleeping, Ronaldo earns 11.5 million rubles, which is equal to 256 monthly salaries of a Russian teacher, who on average receives 45 thousand per month.
This begs the question, is such a situation fair when an aging footballer receives tens of thousands of times more than ordinary people for simply kicking the ball. This is not only about the salaries of Russian teachers – a comparison with Europe and the United States will give similar results. Another thing is that you can argue and lament as much as you like, but the players in general and Ronaldo in particular will not have less money. As another football millionaire Kevin De Bruyne recently argued, whose work is also paid by rich sheiks, if the club can afford it – why not.
