Ronaldo: Man United pay Juventus €15 million
Juventus FC have reached an agreement with Manchester United FC for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo for an initial €15 million (£12.86 million), the Serie A club announced.
United last Friday announced they had secured a deal to bring the 36-year-old Portugal forward back to the club subject to the agreement of personal terms, a medical, and a visa.
The club have now confirmed United are paying €15 million for Ronaldo plus €8 million (£6.86 million) in potential add-ons, in a statement released early on transfer deadline day.
The statement said, “Juventus Football Club announces that an agreement with Manchester United FC for the definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player Cristiano Ronaldo has been reached for a consideration of €15 million payable in five financial years.
“This might be increased, up to a maximum of €8 million, upon achievement of specific performance objectives over the duration of the employment contract with the player.”
