Ronaldo and Jorge Mendes Transfer Saga
During the transfer window, Mendes had tried linking the Portuguese superstar with both Bayern and Chelsea due to his commercial appeal. Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly had been keen to take Ronaldo onboard, but Thomas Tuchel the manager was not pleased.
On the other hand, Oliver Kahn, the CEO of Bayern Munich had revealed internal discussions in the club for signing Ronaldo, but later claimed that he was not fit for their philosophy. Consequently, both clubs backed away from signing a deal a with him due to the “bigger than club” mentality.
According to the sources, Mendes had made a last attempt to grab a deal for Ronaldo to Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund after his termination from the red devils.
It was Ronaldo’s personal manager and close friend Regufe, who had ultimately sealed the mouth-watering deal of £175m-a-year from Al-Nassr for Ronaldo.
