Cristiano Ronaldo transfer news: Ronaldo ‘took a SIX-FIGURE bonus payment’ days before handing in a transfer request to Man United, REPORTS
A source at the club has told the publication: ‘The contracts all renew at the start of July and then the news about Cristiano wanting to leave came out.’
Ronaldo was forced to take a significant hit over his pay after departing Juventus for United, putting pen to paper on terms that reduced his salary by almost 50 per cent. However, to compensate, United inserted a number of annual bonuses.
It has been insisted by insiders that the handsome sum is not an outright loyalty clause, with image rights and goalscorer bonuses also making up a portion of it.
