Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo 'to land €20m windfall after being dropped from film role'

By , Senior Reporter
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is to be paid €20m by Hollywood producers after allowing them to use his apartment in a film that he was later dropped from.

Cristiano Ronaldo will reportedly be paid €20m (£14.6m) for allowing film producers to use his New York apartment for a new flick.

The Real Madrid superstar was set to feature in The Manipulator, which is being directed by Martin Scorsese, until the man who the film is based on - Alessandro Proto - vetoed the Portuguese's involvement.

However, according to Spanish publication AS, Ronaldo's lawyers have battled hard to ensure that the 30-year-old still receives his payment in full.

It is claimed that CR7 had only purchased the penthouse suite as a result of landing the role, only for his big Hollywood debut to be delayed.

Channing Tatum is now the frontrunner to play the millionaire character.
