While Cristiano Ronaldo will earn two hundred million in Saudi Arabia, this is how much Luis Diaz earns in Liverpool

The Portuguese left European football for Saudi Arabia, where he signed a multimillion-dollar contract. Cristiano Ronaldo broke a record: he is the highest paid footballer in the world. By signing a contract with Al-Nassr, it is estimated that the Portuguese striker will receive a salary of more than 214 million dollars a year, according to Diario Marca.

In Saudi Arabia, the 'Commander' will increase his wealth, although he is already the highest-paid player in the list, even ahead of three Paris Saint-Germain players: Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar, who earn at least 80 million dollars less than CR7. However, the Portuguese striker does not downplay the importance of the sporting aspect and true to his winning spirit, he made it clear that he is joining this new challenge mainly because of the vision of his new team, which he said will look to help them achieve more success to add to the nine league championships they already have in their trophy cabinet.

"I am excited for a new experience in a different league and in a different country, the vision that Al-Nassr has is very inspiring. I am very excited to join my teammates and help the club achieve more success," he said after the announcement of his signing.

And now, it is only a matter of time before we see Ronaldo testing himself in another league, in another country, on a continent alien to what he is used to after his historic stint in European football: "It is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success, but will inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves," Al-Nassr wrote as part of their welcome to Ronaldo.

Luis Diaz has a much lower salary

This move by Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabian football demonstrates once again the importance the Portuguese places on money. This is in stark contrast to Liverpool's Luis Diaz, a Colombian who despite being one of the Reds' best players is on a mere 6.5 million a year.
