Ronaldo's future has been the subject of recent speculation, with Sky Sports
journalist Guillem Balague stating recently that "everything is in
place" for the Portugal international to return to Manchester United.
The
29-year-old has enjoyed a stunning start to the season, with three
hat-tricks and 13 goals in just six games for the European champions,
but is has been suggested he is unhappy at the Bernabeu.
Chelsea
have also been linked with the second-most expensive player of all time
but manager Jose Mourinho was quick to shoot down the idea of a
transfer, while Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has also discussed the
player.
But the most enduring speculation has come from Old Trafford, with
Ronaldo's personal attachment to his former club putting Louis van
Gaal's side in a strong position should he wish to leave.
However Mendes recently explained it would be "impossible to get him out of Madrid", and the 48-year-old has perhaps now revealed why.
Speaking
to Spanish daily sports newspaper AS, Mendes said: "I no longer get
calls from anyone asking about Cristiano. It's not worth them calling to
ask for it.
"The price is that stated in his release clause – €1bn (£785m)."
Ronaldo
scored 118 goals in 292 appearances from 2003 to 2009 under Sir Alex
Ferguson, helping steer United to three Premier League titles and a
Champions League amongst numerous other club and individual honours.
