The Staggering Amount It Costs To Hire Cristiano Ronaldo For Just Five Hours

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to hire Cristiano Ronaldo? Now you don’t have to wonder any more.

That’s because the latest bit of information from the Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football book being brought out by Der Spiegel journalists Rafael Buschmann and Michael Wulzinger, who are working alongside with the Football Leaks website, provides insight into how much his services cost.

Real Madrid’s record goalscorer is of course contracted to Los Blancos so unfortunately you can’t pay out your pocket money to have him turn up and play for your Sunday League team.

But the global phenomenon is available for half a days work, and as a Saudi telecoms firm found out in 2013, Ronaldo will cost an eye watering amount to hire.

The book reveals that Mobily struck a deal with Ronaldo’s Irish image rights company, Multisports & Image Management whereby they would get four-and-a-half hours of his time.

The service consisted of a photo-shoot, five signed shirts and two plugs across his social media channels, where CR7 has an enormous following.

Moreover, the firm were allowed to use images of the former Real Madrid that were taken on the day, but the advertising was only regional as the publication was limited to the Middle East and north Africa area.

For all of the above, Ronaldo and his representatives charged the company a monumental £920,000.

So if you want the Real Madrid star to do some work for you, you better cough up some big bucks.

News of what a company must fork out for Ronaldo’s time is the latest reveal in a series of leaks in recent times.

In the upcoming German book, figures of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Manchester United wages emerged – with the player picking up a tasty £367,640-a-week.
