At Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo is enduring the most challenging period of his career, spending more time on the bench than on the pitch.
The striker's value has decreased as a result of his inability to score goals as well as issues with manager Erik ten Hag, which are both obvious reasons.
The high point came at Real Madrid
When he transferred from United to Real Madrid for 96 million euros in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo became the club's most expensive acquisition.
According to Transfermarkt, his price increased to 120 million in 2014, 2015, and 2018 as a result of his outstanding achievements with Los Blancos.
It's the reason Juventus paid CR7 112 million euros in 2018, yet four years later, those sums have long since vanished.
The striker, now 37, has had terrible numbers for the once-famous goal scorer due to a lack of playing time.
Ronaldo has played a total of 340 minutes in eight outings (two starts) over 10 Premier League games this season.
He has only scored once in the league and once in the Europa League.
Valuation dropping at United
Transfermarkt values him at 20 million euros, which is less than half of his 45 million valuation from the month of June 2021 when he joined Manchester United.
Due to his failure, Cristiano is now the Red Devils' 15th-most valued player, with Bruno Fernandes topping the list with 85 million. Jadon Sancho and Antony are next, both at 75 million.
CR7 is merely the 171st most valuable player in the Premier League as a whole.
Cristiano's numbers in the Premier League
When comparing Ronaldo's annual worth, there has been a consistent decline: 120 million in January 2018, 75 million in December 2019, 60 million in August 2020, 45 million in June 2021, and 20 million in September 2022.
Ronaldo's value has only ever been lower in October 2004, when he was 19 years old and worth 18 million.
The future
After declining to take the field against Tottenham, Ronaldo will now have to deal with any disciplinary actions that are brought against him in addition to his troubles on the field.
He posted on Instagram, saying, "I've always tried to set the example myself for the youngsters that grew in all the teams that I've represented.
"Unfortunately, that's not always attainable, and occasionally we make mistakes because of our emotions.
"At the moment, all I feel like I need to do is keep working hard at Carrington, help out my teammates, and be prepared for anything that may come up.
"There is no option to give in to the pressure. It was never. We must stand as one as Manchester United. We'll get back together soon."
Time will tell whether he can regain the form that made him one of the biggest names in world football once he misses this weekend's away game between Manchester United and Chelsea.
