Cristiano Ronaldo worth one billion pounds, says agent
Madrid, Feb 3
Portuguese footballer Cristiano
Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes Tuesday revealed that the Real Madrid
prolific striker would sell for at least 300 million pounds if Spanish
giants Real Madrid wish to set him free anytime soon.
Asked how
much Ronaldo was worth, Mendes said: "Cristano Ronaldo? One billion. His
buyout clause one billion, so it is one billion. It is impossible to
buy someone like him.
"If for any reason the club decides to sell
him tomorrow for 300 million, someone will pay," Mendes was quoted as
saying by bbc.com.
Mendes went to the extent of saying that the 29-year-old was the “best sportsman ever†and was incomparable to any other player.
"He is the best player ever in the world. You can't compare him with anybody else," added Mendes.
Questioned if Ronaldo will finish his career at Madrid, Mendes said "for sure". "He will not leave Real Madrid."
