Cristiano Ronaldo will play for Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr starting from January 1, Marca confirm.
The deal will make Cristiano the highest-paid player in the world. He will be making around €200m per season. In comparison, Lionel Messi's current salary at Paris Saint-Germain is €75m per season.
Here is how some Messi and Barca fans react to the rumour that comes from quite a credible source.
💭 palmerama: "And Messi pulls further ahead in GOAT status."
💭 NestroyAM: "I hope Messi leaves with dignity. I know, I know, man's got to eat, but come on - that's sad."
💭 Kobby Founda: "Messi will be leading PSG to their first UCL trophy while Ronaldo will be battling with Aboubakar in the Saudi Arabian league, the difference is insane."
💭 SxrgioSZN: "Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia whilst Lionel Messi is the current favourite to win the next Ballon d'Or. Make of that what you will."
Leo Messi, meanwhile, could join MLS side Inter Miami in 2023. His salary, however, wouldn't be bigger than Ronaldo's.
