A journalist from the Sunday Times has revealed that he was told not to include Bale's world-record 85 million pound ($125M) fee because it upsets Ronaldo.
EXTRA TIME
The extent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s obsession about the 85 million pound ($85M) transfer fee Real Madrid paid to sign Gareth Bale has been revealed.
Over the past year, speculation over the relationship between Ronaldo and Bale has intensified, with the Portugal international refusing on some occasions to celebrate when his teammate scores a goal.
And in an interview with BBC 5Live, Sunday Times football correspondent Jonathan Northcroft claims that Madrid is keen to keep Ronaldo sweet by telling journalists not to mention Bale’s transfer fee in any high-profile interviews with the player.
