If we are in deep shit financially, this guy is the one that has to go. In the next years he's losing his market value rapidly + that wage is even a bigger argument than that. He's still obviously WC, but financially he costs the same as any other 4 players combined
If those players are Matuidi, Khedira, Higuain and Berna/Rugani, problem solved once they're gone.

I have big doubts on this ... if this is true ...numbers will be forked all over the news ....
I see some people still believe this nonsense. :rofl:
This guy has enough fans who will buy every year our new jersey with his name on it. For example i myself got it as a present, alltough it is a fake from Turkey and not one cent went to our club im still happy to have it. This example alone shows how much i need a beer today

Do whatever you want with this post, i have no clue about our finances and how much he costs us. He is our only chance to win the CL and let's hope he delivers next year

I love how people point to the wage structure and how Ronaldo's salary is inflating it as if Ronaldo's salary is taken from the normal wage budget. As if we had 60m a year lying around in our wage budget after the 2017/2018 season(Licthsteiner and Höwedes salaries where the only ones we fully got rid of).

Ronaldo's wages are outside of the budget and seen as an investment that needed the green light from Exor themselves. If Exor says that they don't want to pay him, then he'll leave. But they've already committed to 4 year 240m contract to him. It's not like selling Ronaldo will free up those wages to be spent on other players to make the team 'better'.

He generates enough shirt and merch sales that he brings back his salary. Beside that man whe should be really proud that this guy plays for our shirt
From what I've read that is just a myth.
His name is helping us tremendously with getting better deals with the sponsors though.
After he arrived, Juve got a much better deal from Adidas. Cygames was put on the back of the shirt. There be must a lot of other benefits too.

Why is it nonsense? We got a one time 15mln bonus from Adidas for increased shirt sales after his first season which was followed by a new much increased contract with Adidas for many years to come. Plus, shirts we sell in Juvestore, both physical locations and online, we get all the cash.

Not to mention a bumped up deal with Jeep.

At least it would free one starter spot and freekick taker spot. That would be enough for me.

Maybe you should check our financial statements every once in a while. They are pretty detailed.

Hint: look at the income figures for merchandise for example.

We are not making money on the first three, with Khedira its more likely we're losing it. Berna/Rugani does bring money, but you need 4 like these replaced with low cost bargains to save what you could save with CR alone

With Higuain wed be losing money, we can not lose on Sami with being free. On Matuidi we already lost 2-3M

Ronaldo isn't leaving, makes no sense. Makes no sense from his or club's perspective. Usual terribad journalism doing the rounds. Lyon loss and this, if only weather was this predictable.

Those of you who think or are wondering if he SHOULD be sold, you deserve to be pointed fingers and laughed at. This is worse take than not wanting Haaland for 20/30m.
