UNACCEPTED DEAL: Penrith Panthers Star Nathan Cleary Rejects $72 Million Offer Over Loyalty Concerns
Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary has recently turned heads after revealing that he declined a massive $72 million deal. The rugby league icon disclosed that the offer came from a rival team looking to secure his talent for the next several seasons. Despite the staggering amount, Cleary made the decision based on something far more significant to him than money — his loyalty to the Panthers.
Cleary, who has been pivotal in the Panthers’ recent successes, including their back-to-back NRL Premiership wins, stated that leaving the club that helped shape him into one of the league’s premier players was never an option. “Penrith is my home, and the Panthers are like family to me. No amount of money can replace that connection,” Cleary explained during a recent interview.
The decision highlights his deep commitment to his team and his fans. While financial opportunities like this don’t come around often, Cleary believes his long-term future lies with the Panthers, and he’s determined to build on his legacy there.
Fans have lauded Cleary’s choice, appreciating his dedication to the club’s values. With such strong community ties and a bright future in Penrith, Cleary’s decision solidifies his standing as not just a star player, but a true leader for the Panthers
