According to the super agent, the 31-year-old has been offered a contract worth £1.6million per week from an unnamed CSL club, who are also willing to pay Real Madrid a world record £260m to release him from his contract.
However, it appears money — or more money, at least — is not important to the four-time Ballon d’Or winner with Mendes suggesting that Ronaldo has already rejected the incredible offer.
Mendes told Sky Sports Italia: ‘From China they’ve offered €300m (£260m) to Real Madrid and more than €100m (£85m) per year to the player. But money is not everything; the Spanish club is his life.’
The figures involved in the deal are barely comprehensible but will come as no surprise to those keeping up with the exploits of the Chinese Super League.
Shanghai SIPG have already paid £60m for Oscar, a bit-part player in Antonio Conte’s Chelsea squad, while their cross-city rivals Shanghai Shenhua have recently made Carlos Tevez the highest paid player in the world with a deal worth £615,000 per week.
‘The Chinese market is a new market,’ Mendes added. ‘They can buy a lot of players, but then again it is impossible to go for Ronaldo. Cristiano is the best player in the world and best ever. It is normal to have some offers
