Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo has stopped working with his agent Jorge Mendes. This is reported by the Portuguese publication Publico.
Mendes represented the interests of Ronaldo throughout his career: from the transfer from Sporting to Manchester United and to the transfer to Al-Nasr, in which the agent no longer participated. Ronaldo's decision to move to Saudi Arabia was the reason for the termination of their cooperation.
It is known that Ronaldo, without the consent of Mendes, gave a scandalous interview to journalist Piers Morgan, after which the Portuguese left Manchester United. Mendes could not find Cristiano a club that plays in the Champions League and advised the striker to stay at Manchester United.
“Jorge Mendes had the courage to tell the truth, which Cristiano Ronaldo did not take very well. Cristiano decided that in order to move to Saudi Arabia as a free agent, he did not need an agent, ”said journalist Victor Pinto.
Now Ronaldo's agent is his personal manager and friend Ricardo Regufe.
Но, он оказался абсолютно прав том, что "для того, чтобы переехать в Саудовскую Аравию в статусе свободного агента, ему не нужен агент" :)))
