After weeks and weeks of rumours, Cristiano Ronaldo is finally staying with Old Trafford. But the five-time Golden Ball wanted to leave Manchester United during the summer transfer window, in order to join a team that qualified this season for the Champions League.
During this transfer period, Jorge Mendes tried several times to place the Portuguese in a new stable. Napoli, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid.. The famous agent knocked on many doors, but to no avail. So Cristiano Ronaldo will always remain a Mancunian at least until next January, when the winter transfer window opens, after the World Cup. However, CNN Portugal reported that CR7 had a chance to leave the north of England. Indeed, the Saudi club Al-Hilal was ready to offer him an XXL contract with an astronomical salary.
Cristiano Ronaldo could touch €2.3m… per week. Then, the Portuguese striker would have offered himself an annual salary of more than 110 million euros per year. Only, despite its 37 years, CR7 doesn’t seem ready to give up on European football.
