Cristiano Ronaldo accepts a spectacular £211 million move offer at the last minute Man United's exit chance
Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to find a new club after surprising Manchester United with a transfer request, but the former Real Madrid and Juventus star now has a lucrative offer on the tableCristiano Ronaldo has apparently been offered the opportunity to leave Manchester United and earn £211 million in Saudi Arabia.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is looking to leave Old Trafford this summer, having recently submitted a shocking transfer request. While the Red Devils' lack of Champions League football is thought to be his main complaint, Ronaldo could accept an offer that would see him leave Europe for the first time in his incredible career and pocket a staggering £211 million over two years in the Middle East.
Whereas the 37-year-old remains absent from Manchester United's pre-season tour due to "family reasons," TVI News in his native Portugal, as cited by CNN, claims that an unnamed Saudi club has made a stunning bid to sign him. Ronaldo's weekly salary would be £2 million, more than five times what the global superstar currently earns in Manchester. To sweeten the deal, the Saudis are willing to pay his long-term agent, Jorge Mendes, around £17 million in commission.
The Red Devils would also receive a transfer fee of £25.3 million for Ronaldo, nearly double the £12.9 million they paid Juventus for his services last summer. United signed their superstar to a £480,000 contract, which has since been reduced to £360,000 as a result of their sixth-place finish last season, as the entire squad saw wage cuts.
Ronaldo is dissatisfied with the club's current situation, with the Red Devils set to compete in the Europa League next season under new manager Erik ten Hag. His angst has allegedly led him to offer himself to Paris Saint-Germain, the team of eternal rival Lionel Messi, while Mendes attempts to engineer a move to fellow European heavyweights Chelsea or Bayern Munich, both of which are wary of signing the ex-Juventus talisman.
Even through the sight figures on the chart, Ronaldo, the recently departed Real Madrid circumstance, is highly unlikely to accept the offer, having repeatedly stated his desire to compete at the top of European football for years to come.
Ronaldo stated during UEFA's 'The Best' ceremony in January, "I still have the passion for the game." Not just to score goals, but to have fun because I've been playing football since I was five or six years old. I still enjoy being on the field, even in training. Even though I'll be 37 years old soon, my motivation remains strong.
"I feel good and motivated." I've worked hard since I was 18 years old and will continue to do so. I still enjoy the game and hope to continue playing it. When people ask how many more years I plan to play, I tell them, 'I hope to play four or five more years.' It's all about the mind, because I believe that if you treat your body well, it will give back when you need it."
Ten Hag remains hopeful that the United No.7 will reconsider, stating that Ronaldo is "not for sale." The Dutch tactician added to reporters in Thailand: "He is not with us because of personal reasons. But we have plans with Cristiano for this season, so that's it, and I'm excited to work with him.
"I spoke with him before this problem arose. I had a great conversation with him, but that will remain between us. Cristiano, on the other hand, is not for sale. I spoke with him before this problem arose. I had a really good conversation with him. That is solely between Cristiano and myself. Only one thing I can confirm is
