The Athletic reported that most of the salary of star Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays at Al-Nassr, is paid by the Saudi budget.
According to the source, 90% of the Portuguese's salary is paid by the country's budget, while the remaining 10% is paid by the club. As previously reported, the base salary of the forward will be $ 75 million a year, and $ 200 million a year with commercial payments and income for the role of ambassador.
