Real Madrid hired Roberto and Ronaldo as ambassadors of the club in the world in 2016 and in 2017, Raúl as deputy general manager (José Ángel Sánchez); all three received a remuneration of one million euros a year for their work.
This has been revealed by ‘Infolibre’, through ‘Football Leaks’ documents leaked to the German weekly Der Spiegel (The Spanish digital newspaper belongs to the European Investigative Corporation (EIC), a media network through which ‘Football Leaks has been managing information, such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s tax evasion, among other issues).
Ronaldo at this time is president and owner of Real Valladolid, Raúl directs Castilla and Roberto Carlos maintains his position as Madrid’s ambassador, commenting on matches and social gatherings regularly on Real Madrid TV. The curious thing about the case is that the hiring of Ronaldo was done without a labor contract involved, according to Infolibre, for tax issues and to avoid having to show it to the Real Madrid Works Council.
TThe Spanish digital newspaper also reports that the club had to seize part of Roberto Carlos’ annual amount by court order, after a court in Sao Paulo required it because the former left side of the white team was not paying alimony for two of his nine children.
