Returning last summer to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo (37 years old, 24 games and 12 goals in the Premier League this season) had negotiated juicy bonuses to compensate for the big drop in salary granted on his arrival. Except that the attacker can give up most of the income he could hope to receive this season!
This Monday, The Sun indicates that the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Atletico Madrid deprives the Portuguese of the bonus of 3 million euros which he was to receive if the Red Devils reached the final. Failure in the title race also forces the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to give up €1.5m. Also with the disillusion in the national cups, a total of €6 million in bonuses went up in smoke according to the same source.
The former Merengue could still console himself by receiving a “significant bonus” if he finishes United’s top scorer this season, which is on the right track since he has scored 18 goals in all competitions compared to 9 for Bruno Fernandes , his first pursuer.
