The story behind Ronaldo's split from his agent Mendes!

A press report revealed new details about Cristiano Ronaldo’s split away from his super agent Jorge Mendes revealed shortly upon completing his move to Saudi Arabia. it was reported that Mendes was no longer the agent of the 37-year-old icon whom he helped join Manchester United and Real Madrid. His bombshell interview with Piers Morgan was pinpointed as the final straw in their relationship as CR7's decision to publicly slam the Red Devils and manager Erik ten Hag ultimately led to his contract termination. However, the troubles began a lot earlier. Ronaldo entered into a crisis with United after the Portuguese star gave a television interview, during which he attacked the club's management and the current and former technical staff. According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Ronaldo told his former agent, Jorge Mendes, after the termination of his contract with United, "Either you get me an offer from Bayern Munich or Chelsea, or we separate." This tone raised disapproval of Mendes, who in turn responded to the request of the best player in the world five times, telling him: "You are crazy!" After nearly two decades of working together, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Mendes are no longer partners. The legendary attacker and super agent became synonymous with one another, but while their separation has been known for some time, only now have the details behind their break-up emerged. "What broke was not a simple contract, as Mendes never asked his players to sign it, what broke was much more: a paternal, family, and even business relationship," the report from the Spanish news outlet states. "The agent is the godfather of one of the player's children and Ronaldo's mother [Dona Dolores] has often shown the adoration she had for Jorge Mendes." Mendes failed to obtain any offer to keep Ronaldo on the European continent, which prompted the Portuguese star to accept the Saudi victory offer, according to "El Mundo". The Spanish newspaper "Marca" recently exploded with a resounding surprise, when it confirmed that one of Ronaldo's close associates had led the negotiation process for the transfer of the "Don" to victory. And “Marca” stated that a man named Ricardo Goff was the one who took care of all the details related to the contract, at a time when there was no role, neither from near nor from afar, for Jorge Mendez, in the agreement.
