According to the latest reports from CBS Sports reporters Ben Jacobs and James Benge, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has successfully signed a two-year contract with the Saudi team Riyadh, with an annual salary of $75 million.
Cristiano Ronaldo officially signed a contract with Riyadh on Friday and the player has completed some of the medical examinations needed to sign the contract, and the second part is expected to take place next week, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.
Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract worth $75 million a year (base salary), and when the news was first reported in November, Ronaldo was still considering options in Europe or elsewhere, but in the absence of other serious suitors, Ronaldo finally decided to join Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to win.
In a follow-up supplementary report, Ben Jacobos said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s annual salary of $75 million is only a base salary, accounting for about $200 million a season, which includes all business income and bonuses.
The Riyadh victory is expected to be officially announced after tomorrow’s game against Al Khaleej.
In addition to CBS, Saudi Arabian satellite television also announced on social media that Riyadh Victory has signed a contract with Ronaldo for two years. (some Arabic Twitter accounts even posted videos of Ronaldo’s jerseys being printed victoriously in Riyadh.)
José F é lix D í az, a well-known reporter from Marca, also said in the latest report: 99% of the relevant formalities have been completed between Ronaldo and the victory in Riyadh, and the final details of the contract are expected to be completed today and tomorrow.
