The price Ronaldo would have to pay if he wanted to leave Manchester United

If Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to leave Manchester United, he would have to fork over a whopping 14.9 million pounds, according to reports in England. That's just one of the many fascinating details to emerge from a new report on the world's highest-paid soccer players. The report looked at Ronaldo's earnings, he currently plays for Manchester United and was found to be the squad's highest-paid player, earning an estimated 27 million in salary last year.

While that figure is undoubtedly impressive, it's also worth noting that Ronaldo indeed was a way out of the club if he wanted to. So how much exactly would Ronaldo have to pay if he wanted out of his contract? According to the report, he would have to pay the club the remaining wages he is entitled to under his contract with the club. Meaning Ronaldo would have to pay the club almost 14.9 million pounds for the 31 remaining weeks he is to be paid in wages.

While that may seem like a lot of money, it's relatively cheap compared to some of the other buy-out clauses in contracts around the world. As soon as the news of Ronaldo's potential contract termination broke, people took to social media to share their thoughts. Many were in support of the footballer, saying that he deserves to be released from his contract if he no longer wants to play for the team.

Some even went so far as to say that Manchester United should keep Ronaldo and terminate manager Erik ten Hag, regardless of his personal feelings, because he is one of the best players on the team.

What will happen to Ronaldo

It is important to remember that Ronaldo is one of the most popular and successful soccer players in the world. If he were to terminate his contract, he would likely be able to find another team that would be willing to pay him even more money like Chelsea who is seemingly the favorite to get the Portuguese on their team.
