Cristiano Ronaldo offered return to Europe in businessman's sensational transfer plan
Businessman Markus Schon is exploring an unusual deal which could see him finance a move for Cristiano Ronaldo to join Bayern Munich this summer.
Ronaldo signed for Al-Nassr midway through the season after leaving Manchester United by mutual agreement.
He has scored 13 goals for his new club, who sit second in the Saudi Pro League, but reports of a return to Europe continue to follow the veteran around.
Bayern were linked with a swoop for Ronaldo before the striker joined Al-Nassr, only for CEO Oliver Kahn to rule out such a move. Now, though, a new opportunity has been put before the German title challengers.
“It would be conceivable that we could undertake to pay a transfer fee or loan fee in excess of a basic amount to be defined if our company is clearly seen as facilitating the difference,” Schon wrote, per Abendzeitung via Football Transfers .
In the event of a permanent commitment, we would expect a share in the proceeds from the jersey in order to limit our financial risk.”
The businessman is said to have emailed Kahn directly with his proposal. However, any deal would need Ronaldo to take a pay cut on his current Al-Nassr deal.
onaldos deal in Saudi Arabia is worth a reported £173m a year, making the Portuguese the highest-paid player in world football. His deal with the club runs until 2025.
