Cristiano Ronaldo was the first world star to go to Arabia. After his first season, Ronaldo opened up in an interview. “The Saudi league can become one of the top five in the world. My expectations were a bit different at the beginning, because I expected to win some title this season. But everything doesn’t always happen as planned. I still believe that next year we will improve a lot, the team has improved in recent months, and even the entire league in general has improved. The league is very good, with many options to continue growing. It is competitive, with good teams, good Arab players. If they keep doing the job they want to do in the next five years, I think the Saudi league can be one of the top five in the world.”
Jorge Mendes also spoke about Cristiano: “We should all be super grateful. He will always be in my heart. He is a special player and a special person for me. All of us Portuguese should be proud to have had and continue to have a player like him.. We Portuguese should be proud to have had and still have a player like him. I have always said it and I will repeat it all my life: he has been and he is the best player in all of history! I have no doubt,” he said.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest paid athlete in the world in 2023, according to the Forbes magazine list, which places Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappé in second and third position, respectively. The Portuguese leads this ranking – which analyzes the world business of sports stars from May 1, 2022 to May 1, 2023 – with revenues of 136 million dollars thanks, to a large extent, to the 75 million he charges from the year as salary in the Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo earned 90 million from his endorsements and other businesses off the pitch while he received 46 million for his performance on the field (Forbes considered for his calculation what he earned at Manchester United and Al Nassr in addition to the time he spent without equipment).
