Ronaldo-Mendes Breakup: Cristiano Ronaldo-Jorge Mendes Split: Cristiano Ronaldo Transfer: The end of Ronaldo and Mendes’ long-term relationship came when he gave his contentious interview to Piers Morgan.

Following the interview, the 37-year-old left Manchester United for massive £175 million-a-year deal with Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr, which was made possible by his close buddy Ricky Regufe. According to a story in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Ronaldo gave Mendes a deadline last summer as the star frantically sought a transfer away from United after the team was denied Champions League eligibility.

According to reports, Ronaldo wanted a transfer to Bayern Munich or Chelsea after Jorge Mendes told him he disagreed with many of his actions in recent years, starting with his decision to leave Real Madrid.

During the transfer window, Mendes had courted Ronaldo to a number of teams, with Bayern Munich and Chelsea being the most prominently connected with a bid for the superstar, in part because of his commercial appeal. When Thomas Tuchel was manager of Chelsea at the time, Todd Boehly, the club’s new owner, was eager to bring the seasoned forward to Stamford Bridge.

Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn also acknowledged that the club had privately considered the possibility of signing Ronaldo before saying that he did not “fit our concept.” Both teams reportedly decided against signing Ronaldo after he missed United’s preseason practise, raising further doubts about his deterioration.

Ricardo Regufe, Ronaldo’s personal manager and close friend, ultimately arranged for his astonishing £175 million per year transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. Regufe, whose World Cup appearance had raised eyebrows among his Portuguese teammates, accompanied the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to Saudi Arabia earlier this month. On Sunday, Ronaldo finally made his long-awaited Al Nassr debut in the team’s 1-0 Saudi Pro League victory over Ettifaq.
