Brazilian legend, Rivaldo, has insisted that Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t need the money his new club Al-Nassr will pay him.

Rivaldo said this while giving his verdict on Ronaldo’s recent move to Al-Nassr.

According to him, the amount the former Manchester United forward is set to earn at Al-Nassr, even at the age of 37, shows his importance in world football.

Recall that Ronaldo was officially unveiled as an Al-Nassr player earlier this week.

Speaking to Betfair, Rivaldo said, “Cristiano Ronaldo has finally signed with Al-Nassr from Saudi Arabia and it was interesting to hear that he has offers from all around the globe, including Brazilian clubs.

He continued, “Anyway, I think that his decision to move to Saudi Arabia was the right call if we consider the contract value that in some way works as a recognition award for his amazing career. Of course, he does not need that money, but it is always nice to be recognized for your efforts, and this is like a kind of coronation of a great player that’s now at the final steps of his beautiful career as a player.”
