Cristiano Ronaldo, this is it: “99% done.”

200 million euros for two and a half years is how much the Lusitanian star will put in his pocket

There has been much talk about it, almost to the point of exhaustion. It seemed done in the days immediately before Christmas, then the track seemed to have cooled off as if suddenly. Now, with just a few hours to go until 2022, everything is almost surprisingly close again. “At 99% the operation can be said to be concluded,” Marca writes about the sensational transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Al-Nassr, the Saudi club that will shower the five-time Ballon d’Or winner with gold with a contract until 2025 and a total salary of 200 million euros.

All that is now missing is the official announcement for one of the most incredible deals in recent years. Even the Arab website ‘Al Arabiya’ practically gives the deal as done, asserting that CR7’s signature has already been affixed. The Riyadh club’s officials would currently be in Madrid to meet with the champion and finalize the final details of the mega-deal.
