The Portugal international received a staggering contract which sees him make around £164m per season for his on-pitch contributions, with another £49m of his salary coming from ventures off the field. Ronaldo has appeared in videos promoting the country's National Day and taken sponsored trips to a number of Saudi's burgeoning tourist hotspots, and has been spotted front row at multiple high-profile boxing matches in Riyadh.

The Saudi Pro League's capture of Ronaldo helped kickstart a talent drive from the division which has seen stars including Neymar Jnr, Karim Benzema, and N'Golo Kante tempted from European football by the untold riches available in the Kingdom. And as per Saudi outlet 'Al Khabar', via as, Ronaldo's time in Saudi Arabia is set to continue into his fifth decade.
