Real Madrid shield Cristiano Ronaldo with €1bn buy-out clause
Table of Contents
Real Madrid have put a buy-out clause of a staggering €1 billion in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract in order to shield the player from cash-rich Arab investors.
It means potential suitors would have to fork out for a minimum of €1 billion before the World Player of the Year could leave the Bernabéu.
Pérez still recalls how Manchester City almost dished out €115 million for Kaká back in January and supposedly €150 million to lure Iker Casillas away from Madrid.
Carles Puyol, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy held the previous record at €180 million, while Lionel Messi's buy-out price is "only" €150 million.
