Cristiano Ronaldo’s former security guard’s incredible daily salary revealed: “He’s the best boss I’ve ever had”

Shortly after the final whistle of Al Nassr’s last game of the Saudi Pro League season, a cryptic message appeared on Cristiano Ronaldo’s social media profiles.

‘This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all’ was the brief message heavily implying that his time with the Riyadh club and possibly even in Saudi Arabia is over.

Question marks still surround where the legendary striker will play next but what we do no is that he will not be involved in the forthcoming Club World Cup despite admitting interest from a number of clubs.

Amid the uncertainty about where Cristiano will play next, a former security guard employed by the striker has spoken out about his time working for CR7.

Hichman Bukhari worked with the Portuguese international for four years as bodyguard when he was at Real Madrid and spoke to Spanish television network Telecinco revealing how much CR7 paid him every day: 850 pounds, the equivalent of around $1,100 per day.

Bukhari played the role of ‘close protection operative’, a CPO, and admitted that: “Ronaldo was the best boss I’ve ever had,” admitted Bukhari, who said that Cristiano’s profile was not at all like that of some people he had worked with before: ”He’s a celebrity, he’s always threatened by fans or people who want to steal his possessions. You always have to know where you’re going, who’s going to be there, the entry and exit points... We know the places where the client goes better than he does.”
