At the end of the season, Madrid's "Real" would not object to saying goodbye to their main star Cristiano Ronaldo, but potential buyers should shake up their wallet significantly, reports The Guardian. In February, celebrating his 30th birthday, the Portuguese player is preparing to be sold for about 80 million pounds, the same amount that was paid five years ago. However, attention is drawn to the fantastic salary of C. Ronaldo. Currently, the forward earns 16.4 million pounds per year, and "Real" also has to pay 52 percent in taxes, so the player costs Spaniards 34.1 million pounds per season. It is unclear whether "Man Utd" would be willing to incur similar expenses, as the luxury tax in the UK also reaches an impressive limit - 45 percent. "The Red Devils" would offer C. Ronaldo to reduce his salary, which with the luxury tax would reach 20 million pounds per year, but would transfer image rights or other advertising opportunities, the press is considering.
