The cost of renting
Cristiano Ronaldo:
£920,000 for four
hours, signed shirts, a
photoshoot and more
According to new book Football Leaks: The
Dirty Business of Football, Ronaldo's company
can be bought
For the mega rich, it seems, there is almost
nothing that cannot be bought. And that
includes Cristiano Ronaldo.
Real Madrid's record scorer and arguably the
most famous footballer on the planet will, for
the right price, put his name to almost
anything.
But Ronaldo is available for more than just
sponsorship.
According to new the book Football Leaks: The
Dirty Business of Football , Ronaldo is also
available to rent.
The cost of spending four and a half hours with
Ronaldo? A staggering £920,000.
The book states that a Saudi Arabian company
agree to pay Ronaldo's image rights company,
Multisports & Image Management, that fee in
2013.

For that price, they got four-and-a-half hours of
his company. They were also allowed a
photoshoot, two mentions on his social media
profiles and five signed shirts.
In addition, the firm were allowed to use his
image for regional advertising for one day.
This sort of activity provides the potential for
huge additional income for Ronaldo, who earns
more than £400,000-a-week after tax at Real
Madrid.
This revelation about Ronaldo is just the latest
in a string of shocking leaks from the new
book, written by Der Spiegel journalists Michael
Wulzinger and Rafael Buschmann.
Details also emerged of the eye-watering sums
paid to Manchester United stars Paul Pogba
and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Both players moved to Old Trafford last
summer - Ibrahimovic signed on a free transfer
while United stumped up a world record fee for
Pogba.
The Mail report Ibrahimovic agreed a deal
worth £367,640-a-week at United, comfortably
making him the highest-paid player in the
Premier League.
In addition, the Swede also secured goal
bonuses totalling almost £3million, having
notched 28 times in his first season with the
club.
Pogba's United contract is thought to be worth
a modest £165,588-a-week, although there are
substantial incentives for the Frenchman at Old
Trafford.
Pogba's agent Mino Raiola, meanwhile, will
reportedly pocket over £41MILLION from the
Frenchman's move to Manchester United.
The midfielder returned to Old Trafford last
summer in a world-record £89m deal.
The transfer is set to be investigated by FIFA,
according to AFP.
Pogba has had an inconsistent season at
United with some fans doubting if he is up to
the incredible transfer fee.
But one man who won't be concerned is Raiola,
who will earn a staggering amount.
In the leaked contracts, Raiola's earnings are
said to be £41.39m - netting £23m from the
transfer fee.
The superagent, who also brokered Zlatan
Ibrahimovic's move to United, will also pocket
over £16m in future payments during Pogba's
United stay.
It is also suggested the club paid £2.2m to
Raiola's Monaco-based agency, owed by the
midfielder.
