Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes: ‘Manchester United must pay £800m for Cristiano Ronaldo’

Manchester United will have to pay £800million if they want to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, according to Spanish newspaper AS.

Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo's agent, revealed in an interview that the Portuguese talisman's release clause is a monumental €1billion - and only when it is matched will Real Madrid sell.

Mendes said: "He has the affection of United because his heart was there for six years and he has a lot of respect for the people that show him affection, but he is with his club and the Real Madrid fans until the death.

"He only thinks about Madrid and he will always remain here.

"I have not received calls from anyone because people know that is impossible to take Cristiano from Madrid, so it is not worth calling to ask for him."
