Cristiano Ronaldo is willing to take a considerable pay cut in order to join a Champions League challenger, with his desire to try and win the competition again - or at least a major domestic title - the primary motivation for his immediate future.
The Portuguese’s current contract has him on a wage of over £500,000, with some sources insisting it actually results in a deal worth over £700,000. Ronaldo is willing to significantly lower this, though, especially after an initial attempt to sound out potential suitors did not bring much serious interest.
