The huge “alleged” offer Ronaldo received from the Saudi club to leave Manchester United during this summer’s transfers has garnered media attention.
A press release published by CNN in its Portuguese version on Monday said the Saudi club had started talks to include Ronaldo without revealing the club’s name.
The network confirmed in its report that the Saudi team’s offer includes €30 million, a deal value for Manchester United and Ronaldo’s annual salary of €125 million a year, €250 million over two years which is the duration of the contract and €20 million as a commission to his agent (Portuguese Jorge Mendes).
The Al-Kawkab club moved to the second division after finishing in the penultimate 19th place with 27 points in the Yellow League standings.
