Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Real Madrid, which was extended until 2018, includes a release clause of one billion euros. This clause is considered symbolic, demonstrating that Ronaldo is considered the best and that the best is “priceless.” The clause serves to deter potential competitors from making a move for the player. Despite the astronomical amount, negotiations reportedly took place between Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, and PSG in the past. The release clause is part of the complex financial arrangements in football contracts, including signing bonuses and image rights percentages.
