Portuguese striker Al-Nasr Cristiano Ronaldo, while playing for Real Madrid, wanted to know the exact salary of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. This is reported by the Daily Mail with reference to El Mundo.
According to the source, the player was “obsessed” with the size of the Argentinean’s earnings. In particular, he tried to find out the amount from the then president of Barcelona, Josep Bartomeu. “I can’t tell you exactly, but twice what Real Madrid pays you,” Bartomeu told him. It is noted that shortly after that, Ronaldo left Real Madrid.
Ronaldo moved to Al Nasr on December 30, 2022. The Portuguese contract is for two years. His salary at the club is 200 million euros per year, making him the highest paid athlete in the world.
Ronaldo played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018. As part of the team, he won the Champions League four times and the Spanish championship twice. Messi played for Barcelona throughout his career until joining PSG in August 2021. Together with the club, he became the champion of Spain ten times and won the Champions League four times.
