Manchester United’s hopes of signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid have been dashed after the winger’s agent revealed that it would cost £800million to sign his client.
Ronaldo has been strongly linked with a return to Old Trafford, and those speculations heated up this year after it was reported that the Portuguese star was frustrated at the club for selling duo; Angel Di Maria and Xabi Alonso.
Di Maria went to United and Alonso went to Bayern Munich, and despite Ronaldo being angered by these sales, according to his agent, it would be impossible for him to return to England due to his value.
He said: “In addition to being the best footballer in history, he is the greatest athlete of all time.
“You cannot compare him with anyone.
“He is the best player in the biggest sport in the world, in which there is more competition than in any other. For that reason, he is the best sportsman in the world.”
“The price that is stated in his release clause – €1bn.”
