EMMA RADUCANU has reportedly seen her £3million-a-year Vodafone contract terminated after allegedly asking for too much money.
The Mail claims that Raducanu’s deal with the communications giant will not be renewed and the 2021 US Open winner will no longer work with them.
Raducanu, 22, had been collecting £3m each year from Vodafone after penning a contract in December 2021.
At the same time, she also struck deals with British Airways, Evian, Tiffany and Nike.
The British star has struggled for form and fitness in the past several years.
And Vodafone have now decided to part ways after it was claimed Raducanu “demanded too much money” to renew.
The world No47 made a whopping £9MILLION from endorsements in 2024, taking her annual earnings to £11m and making her the seventh best-paid female athlete in the world that year.
And Raducanu still has a host of other deals at play despite Vodafone’s exit.
Nike and Wilson are each said to be paying her £100,000.
While Raducanu also pockets £2m from Dior and Tiffany.
She also promotes Porsche, however things went sour in October when Porsche took back the luxury motor they had given her.
Raducanu had enjoyed the use of the £125,000 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet for the past three years.
One of Raducanu’s associates reportedly said at the time: “Emma no longer has a Porsche.
“They took it back. It used to have pride of place at her home.”
While a Porsche spokesperson reportedly said: “While we do on occasion loan Emma a car, this is very much on an ad hoc basis.”
Raducanu has been contacted for comment.
Return to form after stalker hell
The Brit enjoyed one of the best runs of her career last month as she reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.
On the eve of the tournament, she decided to part ways with coach Vlado Platenik following just one match together.
Earlier this year Raducanu was the victim of a sickening stalker ordeal from a “fixated” so-called fan during the Dubai Open.
Raducanu was left in tears when she spotted the stalker just two points into her round of 32 match, with her former coach revealing they had followed her for 3,600 miles.
Raducanu pointed out the man, who had approached her in a public area the day before, before he was removed by security and arrested by Dubai Police as she burst into tears behind the umpire’s chair.
Charges were later dropped by Raducanu but the man has signed a restraining order stating he must stay away from the Kent player – and he is banned from future WTA tennis events.
