Ronaldo's agent to net £10m from Juve transfer

According to the 'Daily Mail', Mendes himself was the architect of the mega move. The super-agent represents many high-profile clients, such as Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho, David de Gea and James Rodriguez, and the idea was first raised while he was overseeing the sale of Joao Cancelo last month.

The defender made the move from Sevilla to Juventus, and during these liasons, Mendes made a proposal to the Italian side over a possible move for Ronaldo. 

The rest is history, with Cristiano sealing a £100m move on Tuesday, as confirmed by Real Madrid.

However, although the total value of the move is £100m, Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United will reportedly share £4.4m from sell-on clauses within this fee.

Furthermore, Mendes will earn himself a £10.6m payday through agents' fees. Ronaldo himself will earn £26.6m per year at his new club, and the total cost of the move for Juve will be £310m over four years.

Ronaldo's wages, which are estimated to be worth around £500,000 per week, will be paid in-part by Fiat, the club's sponsors.
