Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus (all but confirmed now)

[Ahhthe90s]

This transfer been rumored for the last 2 weeks now and today seems like the day it get's finalised, Juventus will pay Real Madrid 100m and agree to pay Ronaldo 30M (net) per year.

Statements from Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus and Real Madrid is expected in the coming hours.

Thank you and goodbye, legend.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

That's groat!

 

[gutter_trash]

the player who eliminated them at the last Champions League joins them

 

[NekoNeko]

100m and 30m in euros?

 

[KingSnake]

Wouldn't have been better to wait with this thread until at least one official statement?

 

[FuturusX]

Shrewd business from Perez and co. I know he's a top player but that fee seems a bit too high for a 33 year old player.

Football Finances have got mental, but to be fair he is the most marketable footballer in the world and still delivers at the highest level.

It's very much a statement of intent from Juve.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Also Buffon to PSG. Leicester really screwed up this timeline for good.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

All but confirmed so it's not confirmed.

 

[Tbm24]

Man it's going to be weird given I support AC Milan. Thank you for the years of fun!

 

[CrazyAndy]

I didn't think he would end his career playing for an Italian club.

 

[mreddie]

So he left because of the taxes I assume?

For real, especially when we've had multiple threads covering the same thing over the past week.

How much does 50+ goals guaranteed cost now a days? What does 100m even get you today?

On one hand 100m + knocking off 30m a year in wages is great business for Florentino Perez. But on the other hand how do you justify losing your club legend so suddenly like this?

Is this a win or a lose?

Juventus have absolutely fleeced us. Perez is an idiot.

He's 33 and on very high wages.

If Madrid restructure their team by bringing in 2 or 3 quality players to replace him, like Juventus did with Zidane. They will come out stronger.

Ronaldo had to leave sometime, this way Juventus have received nine(?) years of service from him, a score of trophies AND made a profit.

I would call that a win.

£30m a year salary after tax apparently, crazy shit

 

[Ahhthe90s]

I guess but who do you replace him with? Mbappe just signed for PSG?

I guess a 28 yeard old Hazard is in the works now but he's 28, his legs will start giving soon.

 

[Regulus Tera]

of course he would do this on the day of a World Cup semifinal

of course

 

[Angry Grimace]

So not confirmed then.

Well it's not like he's actually busy at the World Cup.

 

[LebGuns]

Thank you for your 9 years at Real Madrid, GOAT. Easily one of our greatest players ever. He should leave with a massive goodbye party befit of his incredible achievements at the club. Breaks my heart to see him go, but with everything that he has done for us he gets to do whatever he wants at this point.

 

[Deleted member 835]

Dude will be on £580k per week....

why are all of you blaming the player for the timing of the announcement?

it's more like the club's timing to decide when to announce than the player.

anyway, he's on vacation in Greece right now

Every single major Spanish and Italian news outlet is confirming the deal has been agreed and signed in the past 15 minutes.

The agreed amount is finally 105m.

He's the best (or second best depending on who you ask) player in the most popular sport in the world. It's not THAT shocking.

 

[Kolx]

Will misd him for sure. Perez better bring someone REALLY good to replace him.

Watch him splurge out money for Hazard, Lukaku, or Mbappé.

Hazard.

Hazard or Neymar. Neymar might be a bit hard, but he caused shit ton of problems last year in PSG and with the right price plus him pressuring PSG I think it's possible.

 

[Deleted member 8196]

It's 30 million euros/year

Around 35m$/26m£

Agreed, same with top MLB and NBA players, but that's capitalism for you.

 

[luca]

What a legend.

So sad to see him leave my club.

I could have done with at least two more years of his skills.

That said, we got €100 million from him, after having paid €94 million ourselves, and he has brought tons of trophies to our cabinet. That's certainly a win, so I won't complain about the transfer. Just be a little sad.

What exactly did he do? There hasn't been an official announcement yet and he didn't make the thread.

 

[FuturusX]

At 33 he was already managing his fitness, missing a few games here and there. Perhaps his commercial appeal can outweigh the negatives.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

LE'TS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have to assume that this deal includes his image rights because if not that's an insane amount for a 33 yo.
