Cristiano Ronaldo has received a brand new car as he nears the end of a record year with Al-Nassr. The 39-year-old failed to win a trophy but achieved several individual milestones in 2024.

In September, Ronaldo scored his 900th career goal, making him arguably the greatest goalscorer in the history of the sport. The seasoned striker has also maintained his goalscoring prowess at club level, although Al-Nassr has finished second in the Saudi Pro League twice since Ronaldo joined the club in January 2023.

Ronaldo made history again in May, finishing the previous campaign with 35 league goals and setting a new single-season record for the Saudi Pro League. The club are currently 11 points behind the championship leaders, but Ronaldo and the rest of the Al-Nassr squad were recently gifted luxury BMWs, adding to the striker's impressive car collection .

The Saudi club has a partnership with Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors, which imports BMWs to the Middle East. Therefore, Al-Nassr installed electric charging ports at their training ground and Ronaldo was spotted posing with his new BMW XM Frozen Black, which features a red metal grille and personalized number plate . BMW has similar sponsorship deals with Real Madrid and AC Milan.

The car is valued at around £164,000, and the same model was also gifted to Ronaldo's teammate and former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane. According to Forbes, Ronaldo was paid £218million this year. This equates to £4.1 million per week and an astonishing £24.9k per hour. This means Ronaldo would earn £174,000 after just seven hours – £10,000 more than his new BMW.

Ronaldo will have to free up some extra space for his brand new BMW, adding another vehicle to his already breathtaking car collection. The former Manchester United icon spent part of his fortune on a fleet of high-end cars, including a Ferrari Purosangue, as well as Lamborghinis, Bugatti, Porsche and Rolls-Royce.

An Al-Nassr social media post said: “Luxury meets football stars. Al-Nassr players driving their BMWs.” Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo has scored 16 goals in just 19 appearances this season. However, Al-Nassr are fourth in the league and appointed former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli in September.

They are far behind Al-Ittihad, who have won 12 of their 13 matches so far. Al-Nassr's focus will now be on winning the AFC Champions League, having advanced to the round of 16 with matches to play.
