Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr), who arrived in Hong Kong to play the Saudi Super Cup, visited his museum, according to Hong Kong media such as the South China Morning Post and Myeongbo on the 19th (Korea time).

Ronaldo visited ‘CR7 Museum’ at a shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong on the 18th. The museum displays a wax figure of Ronaldo in a traditional Saudi costume, as well as a trophy and a model of his birthplace. Ronaldo, who toured the museum with his teammates, did not hide his satisfaction by joking, `Shouldn’t we build bigger?’

Local fans took long pictures hours before Ronaldo’s visit. The South China Morning Post reported that `Ronaldo approached them to give them an autograph as they cheered, but when he saw the safety control line being pushed, he shook his head and stepped down.’

Ronaldo is being treated as an emperor in Saudi Arabia. Ahead of this season, he signed a re-contract with an annual salary of 178 million pounds (about 333.7 billion won) and various bonuses. Al-Nasr decided to provide Ronaldo with three drivers, four housekeepers, two chefs, three gardeners, four bodyguards, and more than 15% of the club’s shares. Including all conditions, Ronaldo is expected to earn more than 900 billion won a year.

You can also choose to play away. Fox Sports reported that the contract clause between Ronaldo and Al Nasr states that there is no obligation to play in away games. As a result, it is expected that Ronaldo will not be seen in the 2025-2026 Asian Champions League 2 group league away match against Al Jawara (Iraq), Istiklol (Tazikistan) and FC Goa (India). Ronaldo did not play in the first leg of the Asian Champions League’s elite round of 16 against Estegral (Iran) last season.

Al-Nasr will play the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup at the Hong Kong Stadium on the 19th. If they win the match, they will compete with the winner of the semifinal between Al-Kadshiya and Al-Ahli.
