Portuguese veteran Cristiano Ronaldo will double his £175 million annual salary on one condition.

The attacker, who is now an Al-Nassr player, is set to earn mammoth sums after leaving European football.

Now news agents AFP suggests that Ronaldo's wage may double if he helps promote Saudi Arabia's bid to host the World Cup.

The Middle Eastern nation is hoping to host the 2030 edition of the tournament.

Saudi Arabia also has Lionel Messi on their payroll in an ambassadorial role.

The Saudis are bidding for a three-continent World Cup, with the bid including Greece and Egypt.
