When he moved from Juventus Turin to Manchester United in the summer of 2021, the Portuguese included bonuses from a certain number of goals scored in his contract. His performances in front of opposing cages this season, for now, have allowed him to pocket an XXL nest egg.
37 years old and still around! The decisive hat-trick (60 of his career) on Saturday, April 16 against Norwich (3-2), the Portuguese forward from Manchester United took home a real grand prize at the same time. To secure the services of the five-a-side Ballon d’Or last summer, “MU” has already agreed to amazing bonuses if we are to believe the information published by the English newspaper “The Sun”.
Consequently, the Red Devils had agreed to pay a bonus of €900,000 (750,000 pounds) to CR7 once he crossed the 20-goal mark and then €120,000 for each additional achievement. His three goals scored on the 33rd day of the Premier League allowed him to reach 21, which means that the Portuguese striker has earned 1020,000 euros.
Should he reach the 30 achievement bar, he can even triple that nest egg, ‘the Sun’ speaking for a bonus of £2.7m, or more than €3m. Stunning or indecent? Opinions are bound to differ…
