Cristiano Ronaldo: Chinese club offered Real Madrid £250m move, says agent

Real Madrid were offered about £250m by an unnamed Chinese club for Cristiano Ronaldo, says his agent Jorge Mendes.
He said the 31-year-old Portugal captain had no interest in the deal, which included an £85m annual salary.
Ronaldo said he could play for another 10 years in November after signing a new deal with Madrid until June 2021.
"The Chinese market is a new market. They can buy a lot of players, but it is impossible to go for Ronaldo," said Mendes.
"Cristiano is the best player in the world and best ever. It is normal to have some offers," added the Portuguese.
Under the offer claimed by Mendes, Ronaldo would have earned £1.6m a week in a deal worth almost treble the world-record transfer fee of £89m paid by Manchester United to Juventus for midfielder Paul Pogba.
Mendes told Sky Italia: "From China, they've offered 300m euros (£257m) to Real Madrid and more than 100m euros per year to the player.
"But money is not everything. The Spanish club [Real] is his life."
It comes after Shanghai Shenhua confirmed on Thursday they had signed former Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez from Boca Juniors.
Shanghai, coached by ex-Brighton boss Gus Poyet, are reported to have agreed a deal worth £40m for Tevez, including a salary in excess of £310,000 a week.

Victims' group withdraws from child abuse inquiry amid 'botch job' claims

Image
Professor Alexis Jay is the fourth different chairwoman of the inquiry. A group representing 600 victims of sexual abuse has withdrawn from the official inquiry, branding it an "unpalatable circus". The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association says it has lost confidence in the inquiry's leadership, in another major blow to the independent probe. The group represents former residents of children's homes run by Lambeth Council in south London who were abused by paedophiles over several decades. In a strongly-worded statement the group said it believes the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) is a "botch job" and  chair Professor Alexis Jay  is the wrong person to lead it. Their withdrawal of support is yet another disaster for  the crisis-hit inquiry,  which is on its fourth chairwoman in just two years and has seen a number of senior lawyers resign in recent months. The group said: "Our decision to pull out of the IICSA should ha
