LE SCAN SPORT – By scoring three goals on Saturday against Norwich with Manchester, the Portuguese triggered a very lucrative bonus in his contract.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave Manchester United victory on Saturday afternoon against Norwich (3-2). A success that will allow the Reds Devils, fifth in the Premier League, to stay in the race for a place in the Champions League but which also allowed “CR7” to inflate his billionaire bank account.
According to The Sun, the Portuguese striker, who has increased his goal tally to 21 this season, including 15 in the league, has fulfilled one of the clauses included in his contract. At 20 goals, Manchester United had to pay their player a nice bonus of 750,000 pounds. And beyond that, each goal scored allows him to touch an additional 100,000 pounds. Cristiano Ronaldo therefore received 850,000 pounds (1.02 million euros) if the calculations of the tabloid across the Channel are correct.
Another £1million bonus in sight at the end of the season
Cristiano Ronaldo can rub his hands: if he finishes top scorer for Manchester United this season, he will also receive another bonus of 1 million euros. The jackpot is almost in the pocket for the Portuguese since Bruno Fernandes, his most serious rival to shake the nets, is only twelve goals this season.
