PSG To Receive Millions For Taking On Saudi All-Star XI And Ronaldo In A Friendly

PSG will receive a huge fee of £8.8million for playing a one-off friendly with the Saudi All-Star XI, according to reports.

The Parisian side played against the All-Star XI - which  featured players from Saudi top-flight sides Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal - in a friendly on Thursday afternoon.

With many focusing on the imminent debut of Cristiano Ronaldo - who completed a move to Al-Nassr last month - little attention has been paid to the substantial fee that the Parisian outfit will be quietly walking away with.

According to L'Equipe, the Ligue 1 champions will pocket £8.8million [€10m] for playing in the one-off fixture.

The significant fee comes as a warm welcome for Christophe Galtier's side, who posted a year-long deficit of £325million [€370m] last season.
