Al-Nassr denies claim of Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract having a World Cup support clause

Al-Nassr has debunked claims of making Cristiano Ronaldo promise to back Saudi Arabia’s 2030 World Cup bid in his contract.

Ronaldo became the world’s highest-salaried athlete of all-time with his new Al-Nassr contract, which materialized after he left Manchester United.

Amid speculation on details of the contract, Al-Nassr has countered claim of Ronaldo being paid an extra €200 million ($214m/£177m) to serve as an ambassador for Saudi Arabia’s 2030 World Cup bid.

The statement read;

“Al-Nassr FC would like to clarify that contrary to news reports, Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr does not entail commitments to any World Cup bids.

“His main focus is on Al-Nassr and to work with his teammates to help the club achieve success.”
