You've probably already heard that Cristiano Ronaldo will earn a whopping 200 million dollars
during his one-year stay in Saudi Arabia. But that's not all you need to know about
the Portuguese's unique contract. But first things first. Since Cristiano has not been
in the new country for too long, he hasn't purchased his own house. Currently, he and
his family live in a luxury hotel in the center of the capital, Riyadh. We'll remind you that
Al Nasser is also based in this city. Ronaldo arrived in Arabia on a private jet with a large
entourage and even a private security company. That's interesting because the country also
provided an escort for the Portuguese, but he still added a personal bodyguard to his motorcade.
It should be noted that a truly royal reception was organized for him. It couldn't have been
otherwise. The press, fans, flowers, children in Al Nasser t-shirts, and so on. The two-and-a-half
year contract and 500 million dollars which Cristiano signed not only makes it the biggest
in the history of sports. Cooperation between Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese will continue
until 2030. He took on important advertising contracts, attending events for the promotion
of Saudi Arabia and assuming the image of that candidacy for the organization of the World Cup
that they seek for 2030 or 2034, Marca reports. That is, Cristiano also takes on a promotional
mission. His task will be to popularize the Middle Eastern country and help it win the right
to host one of the future World Cups. I want to give a different vision of the country, of football,
of the perspective of everybody. This is why I'm here and why I took this opportunity.
Ronaldo began to voice narratives that confirm Marca's information at his first press conference
already. The terms of Cristiano's contract include a deluxe residence with all the amenities
imaginable, not to mention the elite school where the children will study. Aula magazine
reports this information and clarifies that the club's plan is to place the Portuguese's children
in an international private school, where a year of education per student costs about $23,000 a
year. The Daily Mail even published a photo of the house where Ronaldo's family will probably live.
This is not even a house, but a whole palace, which Cristiano can buy for more than 12 million
pounds. It's built to protect people from the 50-degree heat that occurs in the country. A large
area, a swimming pool, palm trees, everything you need for a comfortable stay. In addition,
Ronaldo will always have access to a private jet for flights to Spain or Portugal. It's highly
likely that Cristiano will be separated for the first time with his firstborn Cristiano Junior,
who has returned to Real Madrid's academy. There is every reason to believe that the boy will want
to develop his football career, so he'll have to live apart from his family. And knowing how
important family is for CR7, the news about a private jet for flights to Spain is not surprising
at all. The North American television channel even quoted a club source who, in an ironic tone,
warned that they will become Cristiano FC. If the veteran forward wants a new coach, that's what he
will have. They venture to state to grab the power that the owner of 5 Blandors would have.
Indeed, we've already seen rumors in the press that Cristiano has offered the club to sign
his longtime Real Madrid and Portugal teammate Pepe. Marca wrote about it. At the press conference,
Cristiano Ronaldo decided not to hide that the contract he signed was not your ordinary football
player's contract. This contract is unique, because I am a unique player, so it's normal,
he stated. Marca also reported that CR7's contract includes an option to join Newcastle in the
summer if Eddie Howe's side qualify for the Champions League at the end of this Premier
League season. This is possible because representatives of Saudi Arabia's ruling
elite own the Magpies, so technically both clubs are under the same institution. And although Eddie
Howe has already denied these rumors, he probably did so because he simply doesn't need the Portuguese
as a player. Cristiano Ronaldo is a necessity for the Saudis. At least, this is what their behavior
says. Above all, they want to develop the image of the country in the West, and the Portuguese
is the perfect guide for this goal. We've already mentioned the ambassador's mission to promote the
country as a potential host of one of the future World Cups. But that's not all. It's hard to
describe the attention that Cristiano's persona brings to the country. Just look at Al Nasser's
Instagram account. On December 29th last year, 822,000 people followed the club page. Cristiano
was announced on December 30th, and currently the account has 11 million followers. This is more than
any Premier League club outside the Big Six, and also more than Italian giants such as Roma or
Now that's an influence. Moreover, Saudi Arabia intends to change the country's law for the sake
of Cristiano Ronaldo. The fact is that under current laws, unmarried couples don't have the
right to live together. Since the official marriage between Georgina and Cristiano hasn't
been registered, the effect of this law should also apply to them. Because of that, a scandal
and a conspiracy theory even broke out that the Portuguese is not alright in his relationship
with his girlfriend and he wants to take advantage of the situation to break up with her.
But now Saudi Arabia will amend this law and a couple will be allowed to live together.
In fact, changing the law will help soften the strict rules of life in the country,
which will automatically make it more open to the Western world. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince,
Mohammed bin Salman, is following this path of modernizing the country. So the signing of
Cristiano has served as a catalyst for such changes. As for Cristiano's immediate duties,
namely playing on the football field, Alnasser's home stadium is Mersel Park, which has a capacity
of 25,000 spectators. Ronaldo has already been introduced to the public in this arena,
but the debut will have to wait a little. Firstly, Cristiano Ronaldo has to serve a team-match club
ban he received for smashing an Everton fan's phone while at Manchester United. And secondly,
they couldn't immediately register the Portuguese in the team as there's a limit on foreign players
in Saudi Arabia. And in order to add Cristiano to the team, Alnasser must let go of one of the
foreigners. As of January 7th, Ronaldo is included in the team's squad. It has not yet been announced,
but striker Vincente Bobocar, whom ironically Manchester United are showing interest in,
is most likely to have left the club. So we can expect Cristiano's debut after serving his
suspension on January 22nd in a home match against Al Etifak. There's a chance that he will be able
to play either on January 14th, but on the condition that the club agrees with FIFA to
reduce the disqualification. Knowing how FIFA works, it's not hard to believe in the success
of this campaign. I gave my word to this club, not only to develop football, but other parts of the
country. For me, it's a good challenge. It's a good chance to help with my knowledge and experience
to grow many important points. I'm really, really happy to be here. I know the league is very
competitive. I'm ready to keep playing football. This is how Cristiano Ronaldo spoke of his goals
at the new stage of his career. Guys, tell us in the comments below how you feel about Cristiano's
transfer to Alnasser. Is this the end of his football ambitions, and he will now fulfill
the role of an ambassador while simultaneously playing football at a low level? Or will he still
surprise us with his sporting feats? And after that, watch some other videos on our channel.
