Khaled Al-Baltan: Ronaldo’s salary per season matches our budget for 4 seasons

Al-Shabab Club President Khaled Al-Baltan stressed that his team is suffering from a widening gap in financial budgets with competing clubs.

Al-Baltan said on the “SBC Stadium” program: “Our financial situation cannot keep pace with what competing clubs obtain in terms of contracts, honorary support, or otherwise.”

He added, “The closest club to us, we represent 40% of its budget. A simple example is that we lost the victory match, and the player who scored the third goal is Cristiano Ronaldo.”

And he continued, “Ronaldo is a global player and a winner for the league, but this player’s salary per season, according to what we heard from the media, equals our budgets in 4 years. Is it required of me or my departments to fill this large void and the vast difference?”

And he concluded, “Young people do everything that improves income, improves revenues, and makes plans for expenses that increase. At the time of the coach, it was one million euros, the least excellent coach in the market now gets 3 million euros. It’s as if I’m competing with a small Japanese car in a Formula race.”

Al-Shabab Club ranks third in the Saudi Roshan League table, behind Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad.
