Real Madrid would be willing to sell
Cristiano Ronaldo for a €200 million fee if
they cannot resolve his current situation
at the club, Goal.com can confirm.
The Portuguese superstar refused to
celebrate his two goals during the 3-0
win over Granada on September 2, and
claimed in the wake of the match that he
was unhappy.
The former Manchester United man is
one of 17 players returning to training on
Wednesday after international duty and
there has been a wave of speculation
regarding his future at the club.
However, Los Blancos are determined to
tackle the crisis and will hold talks
between the player, coach Jose Mourinho
and president Florentino Perez.
Although Ronaldo himself was quick to
deny that a desire for a pay rise was the
reason for his current state of
melancholy, rumours have persisted that
the Portuguese is eyeing an improved
contract.
The Real Madrid No.7 earns nearly €10m
annually on his current contract, a
significantly lower sum than players such
as Samuel Eto’o (€20m) and Zlatan
Ibrahimovic (€14.5m).
Spain’s tax laws have undergone a recent
change, and Madrid would now have to
pay a 52 per cent tax on the player’s
wages compared to the current 24%.
This means that if they offer Ronaldo a
contract in the region of €15m annually,
they will be forced to pay over €23m each
year after tax.
Perez has voiced his confidence that the
winger will not leave the Bernabeu, but
ABC news reports that two mystery clubs,
believed to be Paris Saint-Germain and
Anzhi Makhachkala, would be prepared to
offer him a €20m annual salary.
The capital club paid an unprecedented
€100m fee for his services in 2009, and
he could be set for another world-record
transfer if the talks prove to be fruitless.
