More tension between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United arises. Just days before the transfer window closes, a new episode has been revealed that complicates the relationship between the striker and the club. As ironic as it may seem, everything is related to the absence of the team in the 2022-2023 season of the Champions League, a tournament in which the player wants to be.
The Mirror newspaper tells that the 'Red Devils' board has enforced a clause that appears in the contract of all members of the squad, including 'CR7′. According to that agreement, failing to qualify for the Champions League results in a 25% salary reduction.
