Cristiano Ronaldo's lucrative contract with Al-Nassr ‘contains’ unique 'Newcastle United clause’. See what it is

Cristiano Ronaldo has entered into an agreement with Al-Nassr that reportedly includes a clause that says that the soccer player can play for Newcastle United provided it qualifies for the next season of the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr

On Friday, Ronaldo completed his move to Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club, which will help the player earn around £173 million per year in the region. This deal comes after Ronaldo ended his contract with Manchester United through mutual consent in November. These events unfolded after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
The player did not have any exclusive and attractive offers on his table, so he chose to move to Al-Nassr, the Middle East club, and will connect with his new teammates soon. Ronaldo may have an awkward first meeting with Rudi Garcia, his new boss as the coach had wanted Al-Nassr to go for Lionel Messi.

The clause in the contract

This is Ronaldo’s most attractive deal in Saudi Arabia, which is also said to include a clause that it will allow the player to make a move to Newcastle if the team qualifies for the next season of the Champions League, the reports said. Eddie Howe’s team is in the third position in the Premier League and is also on the path to feature in the next campaign of Europe’s premier club competition.
