The bad season of Manchester Unitedwhich will be the fifth in a row without raising a trophy, have a very negative impact on Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings. El portugus, stop earning more than 6 million euros in bonusessince part of his contract established a series of them to compensate for a large drop in his salary of 900,000 euros a week at Juventus.
All this extra money vanishes, then, by not being able to win a title with the ‘red devils’, according to The Sun. The hardest blow to their earnings was the elimination in the Champions League by Atltico de Madrid. Reaching the final in Paris would have meant about 3 kilos.
Winning the Premier League would have brought him close to two million. Failure in both domestic cup competitions was another kick in the wallet for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. But it didn’t stop there. Not finishing in the top four to go to the Champions League could be even more devastating, since he was around half of what he earned in Italy.
Being United’s Pichichi
CR7, however, still generate a big bonus if he finishes as the club’s top scorer this season. The former Real Madrid player leads the way with 18 goals in 33 appearances in all competitions, with compatriot Bruno Fernandes the closest behind him with just nine goals to his name.
The year of his return to Old Trafford is not being the desired one and many unknowns hang over his near future. For now, Cristiano must finish the season and secure that fourth place.
