The Portuguese superstar’s agent has told the reporters that if Real Madrid decided to let him leave tomorrow, Cristiano Ronaldo would sell for £ 300m. Jorge Mendes said the 29-year-old forward was the “best player ever” and the “best sportsman ever”. Ronaldo was voted the world’s best player for a third time last month, beating Barcelona rival Lionel Messi to the prestigious award. Cristiano Ronaldo will finish his career at Real Madrid, the Portuguese superstar’s agent says.
Asked how much he was worth, Mendes said: “Cristano Ronaldo? One billion. His buyout clause one billion, so it is one billion.
“If, for any reason, the club decide to sell him tomorrow for 300 million, someone will pay.”
“People have the wrong idea about agents,” said Mendes.
“Being an agent means many different things. I’m someone normal, I’m working hard every single day. I have ambitions, determination and being honest, doing the right things… this is most important.”
He described football as the “most important sport in the world” and defended the wages players now command, saying they “deserve the maximum possible”.
Mendes compared working with his players on contracts as “like a family”.
“It is like when you talk with your son, with your family… always to try to find the best way to support them,” he said.
Mendes also described the ban on third-party ownership of players as “illegal” and “catastrophic” for clubs.
“Fifa and Uefa are not the police,” he said. “I think that’s it’s very important to establish rules, the right rules, but not to stop it.”
Asked if Ronaldo, who joined Real from Manchester United for a then-world record 80 million in 2009, would end his career with the Spanish giants, Mendes said “for sure”. Manchester United have been making attempts to re-sign Ronaldo, but the 29-year-old eventually penned a bumper new deal with Madrid and won the La Decima with them.
“He will not leave Real Madrid,” Mendes insisted.
Mendes, a former DJ and nightclub owner, also represents Jose Mourinho, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria, James Rodriguez, David De Gea, Victor Valdes and Diego Costa.
