Cristiano Ronaldo: What Real Madrid star would earn if he joined Juventus
JUVENTUS are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, but how much would the attacker earn if he made the move?
Speculation has been rife over the past few days that Juventus will look to sign the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The fee to Real Madrid could be the first sticking point with Ronaldo’s release clause being a mammoth £886million.
However Real are reportedly keen to get a deal done and are willing to lower that with the 33-year-old currently contracted at the Bernabeu until 2021.
A move to Juventus would see Ronaldo increase his pay as he looks to become the highest-paid player on the planet.
Ronaldo is currently on a deal that sees Real Madrid pay him around £365,000 a week.
However Marca report that Juventus will offer him a huge pay rise with a contract that will see him bring home around £500,000 every seven days.
It’s believed that the Serie A giants are willing to offer the Portuguese star a four-year deal worth £106m in total.
Ronaldo is reportedly keen to sign a new contract at Real Madrid as he looks to pay his way out of a tax investigation.
Ronaldo to PSG more likely than Manchester United says expert
He was fined £16.4m ahead of the World Cup, while being handed a suspended jail sentence, after being accused of defrauding the Spanish government in unpaid tax.
PSG and Manchester United are also believed to be interested in signing Ronaldo who scored four goals at the World Cup before Portugal were knocked out by Uruguay.
Ronaldo’s Real Madrid future has appeared to be in doubt ever since he made comments following the Champions League final win over Liverpool.
Ronaldo had said: "It was very nice to be at Real Madrid.”
