Real Madrid Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent has reiterated that it is nearly impossible to lure Cristiano Ronaldo away from Real Madrid and that his release-clause amount is a staggering €1 billion.
He had stated earlier in the week that his client’s move to Manchester United is impossible and that he will remain at Real Madrid till death. The player had been heavily rumoured to make a move back to his old club with Guillem Balague even giving a time-frame of 2 years.
In an interview to Spanish Daily AS, Mendes claimed that his client is not just the best footballer in the world but the best athlete.
“Besides the best footballer in history, is the greatest athlete of all time.” he said.
“You can not compare with anyone. He is the best player in the most massive sport in the world, where there is more competition than any other.
“That is the best athlete in the world. There will be no one like him in the next five hundred years.”
When asked if his former club Manchester United have contacted him regarding a move for the Portuguese superstar, he said that clubs don’t call him anymore since it is impossible to buy him from Real Madrid.
Asked about him price-tag, the 48-year-old said that his release clause is a billion euros.
The agent of many other superstar footballers like Falcao, Angel Di Maria and James Rodriguez, Mendes believes the 29-year-old can break his personal record of 60 goals in a season having already scored 17.
“Will never find one like him. It is unmatched. It is true that it is getting better and will continue to improve up to age 40. Cristiano has no limits.”
He added that by the time the two-time Ballon d’Or winner finishes his career, it would be impossible to break his records.
“When he finishes his career, it will be impossible for anyone to beat the records.”
And what is the one dream the one-time world record transfer fee holder still has?
Mendes ends the interview by saying that his client wants to win another UEFA Champions League and his hunger for success is unmatched in sporting history.
