Huge reward and then farewell .. this is what happened with Ronaldo and United
Press reports revealed that Manchester United star, Cristiano Ronaldo, received
a large financial reward from the “Red Devils” before making his decision to leave
the English club.
The British newspaper, “The Sun”, said that Ronaldo received a “financial reward
of a six-figure sum”, days before he informed the Manchester United management
of his desire to leave the team.
The newspaper quoted a source it described as an insider in United as saying:
“Ronaldo’s announcement of his departure after the award may not be just a coincidence.”
And it was reported last week that Ronaldo informed his team’s management of his
desire to leave this summer, which United initially refused, especially since his contract is still valid.
But it seems that the English club officials finally acquiesced to the fait accompli and
agreed to the departure of the “Don”, according to what Portuguese journalist
Bruno Andrade revealed.
Andrade said on his official Twitter account: “Manchester United have accepted
the pressure (from Ronaldo) and are ready to sell.”
And he indicated that: “The team management wants about 15 million euros
(or 13 million pounds) to open the door to negotiations with interested clubs.”
Ronaldo will look for a new team after suffering a “disastrous season” without titles
with Manchester United, where he finished sixth in the English Premier League,
which means he will not participate in the Champions League next season.
Huge reward and then farewell
