Cristiano Ronaldo

Based on available data, Cristiano Ronaldo's contract reportedly includes a €50 million release clause, as cited by multiple sources in February 2026. One report from the same period mentioned a reduced clause of £43 million (approximately €50 million). His market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €12 million in reports from May 2025. His most recent completed transfer with a fee was in August 2021, when he moved from Juventus to Manchester United for €15 million.

Our valuation is driven by the conflict between a reported €50 million release clause in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract and more realistic market indicators for a player of his age. While the clause sets a theoretical maximum, his last transfer fee was €15 million (in 2021) and his recent Transfermarkt valuation is €12 million. We anticipate a negotiated fee significantly below the release clause, reflecting his high wages and reported desire for a move.
