I'm always amazed when people argue that someone can't turn down that amount of money when he's already got hundreds of millions in the bank. It's crazy to me that anyone would want more when they already have enough money for several lifetimes of luxury living.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s next club? | Al Nassr

Romano and the rest said he did not. Irrespective of that, the deal was crap. We paid a fee for a 36 year old who left on a free a year a half later, 6 months of whom while acting as a proper cnut
He spends tens of millions a year to maintain his lifestyle. I am sure his private jet alone will coast at least £5m a year to maintain.
It will amaze you how quick some of these ultra wealthy peoole burn through cash.
No matter how rich you are, trippling your salary will have an impact. €500m for two years work will greatly matter to Ronaldo.
His security detail alone probably costs more than 95% of the Premierships salary.... Mayweather went into some of this spending in one of those HBO 24/7 series that follows him before a big fight and he's not the level of Ronaldo. Some insane money gets spent when you get to that level of public interest before they see their actual end..
These people live differently to the rest of us and require a lot of money to live that way.
Very hard to turn down that amount of money offered regardless how rich he is.
i mean i feel like he should have so much already to live however he wants, and especially he would be the type to still be able to do endorsement deals wherever he goes. So could he be fine taking like 30k a week playing for a huge team and find a way to make up some of the money in endorsements there? Youd have to think if he just had a ridic low base salary and either put it in bonuses or just made it up off the pitch he could eeke out another year or two in a big club
Unless you're buying new private yachts and jets every few months I can't think of why anyone would need to earn hundreds of millions per year
With Messi moving to USA Ronaldos CL record is not in danger. So he can move on

He’s a fecking joke, whinging and whining about playing in the Champions League yet no one wants him. Failing to accept his decline due to age. Well at least it’s one last payday for him. I’m sure his acolytes would turn this into some positive story for him.

Al Nasser is the only thing that made sense at this point. He wasn't getting a CL team offer, and even if he did he knows he would run into the same issues he did with us in terms of playing time. All of the CL teams knew this which is why they were likely passing...since he'd be just as much of a brat as he was here.
So he takes the money and saves face...since the money level at least would feed his massive ego. Sad end to a sad saga...

One thing I’ve discovered in all of this is that Ronaldo fans are infinitely more annoying than the most annoying Liverpool fans. For that reason alone, I can’t wait for him to bugger off to the Middle East and be forgotten about.
200m per year is just shy of four million euros per week.
four million.
per week.
what the actual f?
four million.
per week.

From Al Nassr to Al Narcissist
Poor people who don't live in the west look at all of us the same way. "How can they want more luxury with food shelter and water provided!"
Human beings are greedy to an extent we can't fathom.
Also these people wanna take the next big step. Just being a millionaire is not enough. The wanna make an extra 600 million to further invest.
Pretty sure that would be tax free as well.
What’s the average salary there? What other star players have gone there?
I would be confident in asserting that it's nowhere near 4 fukn million a week.
Genuinely disgusting money.
No doubt. Just wondering how much this is going to upset the other players that are making much less. Not that he’d care.
Non-Saudi residents have an income tax of around 20% I believe. Im not sure how thats applied though. It very well could be tax free with some clever work arounds. Still...20% on those types of numbers aint bad...
Siuuuuuuuuuuuadi
Aramco will have an oil pump named after him

How the mighty have fallen.
Football is sleep walking into the oil rich Arabic countries eventually taking over the sport like they have been attempting with other sports
This'll show Ten Hag and United. Bet Erik is gonna be kicking himself watching him score against the likes of Al Battin and Ettifaq. What a plonker he's gonna look.
If he had a single brain cell he'd have accepted a squad role at United and end his career with dignity helping out where required. Now he's ending it in the middle east. What a tragic end to an incredible career.
Ronaldo going to earn more money than Redcafe combined will do in a 100 lifetimes, playing football in a land of summer and opulence. Not quite sure why he would turn that down. I would take that money a million times over.
Yes, that's the real quiz.
This is what he forced an exit for? Embarrassing.
Still, worked out well for us.

To be fair I would force an exit for that kind of money. I'm surprised that he didn't accelerate the process by slapping ETH on the sideline weeks ago.
Disgusting money, no way was he going to reject it.
Asian CL baby 
But in his interview he said he already had lots of offers in the summer which would have included this one but he rejected them now he's thrown a hissy fit, he suddenly wants it.
Not at all. If reports are to be believed, this was on offer in the summer including a decent fee for United. I guess what he held out for in the summer was a CL chance and once he didn't get that and also had to contend with being a bit-part player he couldn't handle it. Still think he'd be desperate to get a CL club still, the money will likely still be available in the Middle East later on. But if Messi retires in the US it might make it easier to go into the same kind of retirement. Very unlikely Messi will though.
That was then, at the time he probably was deluded enough to think that a top team would take him with the wage offered by United. At least that's my guess.
He wanted the Saudi money in the summer but was prepared to wait a few months to use United’s top of the line, modernized swimming pool and training facilities to get in shape for the World Cup.
