January 24, Spain’s “Le Monde” in Madrid disclosed today
Some details about the breakdown of the relationship between Ronaldo and Mendes.
This news was signed by Esteban Urreiztieta, who is in charge of investigative special articles for Le Monde (previously led the report on Ronaldo tax evasion, Florentino recording gate, Messi contract and many other heavy news).
It mentioned that Ronaldo asked Mendes about leaving the team last year, and asked Mendes to bring him to the giants, and even broke his face with Mendes: “Either you help me join Bayern or Chelsea, or
Let’s end the cooperation.” Mendes also expressed his dissatisfaction with Ronaldo, especially his decision to leave Real Madrid.
Mendes finally helped Ronaldo contact Bayern or Chelsea. Although the club level did not reject it, the team’s technical department and coaching staff, such as Chelsea coach Tuchel at the time, were very opposed to signing Ronaldo.
But even so, the clubs were still willing to pay attention to Ronaldo’s situation at that time. Until Ronaldo chose to miss Manchester United’s training in the preseason, these clubs immediately approached Mendes and expressed “no interest”.
“Le Monde” mentioned that in recent years, Ronaldo has increasingly listened to suggestions from people around him, especially what he wants to hear, such as from his girlfriend Georgina.
In this circle, Ronaldo is the undoubted core.
And Mendez’s influence is getting smaller and smaller.
