In the coming years, Cristiano should continue to be the highest paid football player in the world. This is due to the fact that CR7’s contract with Al Nassr, the club he has defended since the beginning of 2023, is worth $75 million per year. It is one of the highest in football history.
according to Forbes, is the third time that Cristiano leads the list of athletes who have raised the most in a year. Before 2023, the world football star took first place, in 2016 and 2017, during the period in which he played for Real Madrid and won the Champions League.
