TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE million euros!
Manchester United’s superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (37) is said to want to do without this incredible sum. Actually unimaginable. But not for the Portuguese…
But from the beginning: A few days ago there were reports that an Arab club was keen to sign the 2016 European champions. However, neither the Portuguese broadcaster TVI nor CNN Portuguesa reported which club it should be.
There was talk of a 300 million euro package. ManUnited should collect 30 million euros as a fee for the change of superstar, 20 million euros for the agents and consultants and an unbelievable 250 million euros as a salary for Ronaldo. He should only sign for two years with the Arab club.
But Ronaldo shouldn’t be interested, he doesn’t want to follow the call of the money. This is now reported by ESPN. Accordingly, he does not think about considering this offer. Although, according to the report, the salary should even be 275 million euros for two years! And the reason for that is very simple: Ronaldo really wants to play in the Champions League next season. In other words, he wants to continue to compete at the highest level. He has no interest in ending his career in the desert or in the USA – despite being 37 years old.

However, he cannot play in the Champions League with the “Red Devils” in the coming season. The Premier League club only qualified for the Europa League last season. But Ronaldo doesn’t want to kick second-rate. Therefore, he wants to leave the club in the summer, the English media report unanimously.
But ManUnited doesn’t want to play along. Internally, they should have long since decided not to let the superstar go. Ronaldo doesn’t seem to have many options either. PSG are said to have ruled out a commitment. Ex-club Juventus Turin also seems to be out of the running.
So, in the end, does Ronaldo have to make friends with the European “second class” after all?
