Should that happen, Ronaldo would lose around £8.4m in future wages, say Mundo Deportivo.
The Portuguese star, 35, boasts a net worth of around £361m, according to Forbes.
That tally is in no small part down to his monster £30m-a-year wages at Juventus – around £510,000 per week.
On top of that, Ronaldo has a £773million lifetime deal with Nike.

Ever since Italy went into lockdown due to Covid-19, Ronaldo has sought refuge on his home island of Madeira.
