Agent commits Man Utd's Ronaldo to £125M Real Madrid contract




There are new claims in Spain that Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has committed to a pre-contract with Real Madrid.

Sport reported yesterday that Jorge Mendes, the Manchester United forward’s agent, has signed a long-term agreement with Real Madrid worth about £91 million. The deal reportedly includes a penalty clause that would force Ronaldo and his agent to pay Real €20 million (about £18 million) if he does not appear at the Bernabéu at the start of next season.

Whether such a “penalty clause” would be enforceable is another matter.

The Times says a further wrinkle is that this supposed contract was signed with Ramón Calderón, who resigned as president of Real two weeks ago. Whether it would be valid now is anyone’s guess.
