British press reports revealed, on Sunday, that Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo received a huge reward from his club, Manchester United, and then asked to leave the team.
According to the newspaper “The Sun”, the 37-year-old striker received a six-figure bonus, and that he was aware of it before confirming his intention to leave the team this summer.
The newspaper added: According to sources close to the club, Ronaldo’s behavior did not like the management, and that the timing of the request to leave was wrong.
The “Sun” explained that the reward received by the Portugal captain has nothing to do with Ronaldo’s continuity with the team, but rather the image rights and payments to reach some goals last season, and that the amount is close to 900,000 euros.
Earlier reports indicated that Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain want to include the Portuguese striker during the current summer transfers, especially that the former Real Madrid and Juventus player wants to leave Manchester United after the team failed to qualify for the Champions League next season.
