Mourinho didn't even try. Hope he knows what he's doing next season.

The potential for the Dybala-Douglas Costa and Ronaldo combination is insane though.
 
60.000.000€ / year before taxes so in a more PL terms 1,15m/week
 
I think Madrid have played this brilliantly and Juventus are taking a massive gamble.
 
Wonder if Buffon now wishing he stayed for 1 more crack at a CL

Szczesny
Cancelo Rugani Chiellini Sandro
Pjanic Can Matuidi
Dybala Costa
Ronaldo
 
Good move for all involved. Madrid can now finally get a team that can compete in the league regularly and not have to wait for Ronaldo to turn up in the second half of the season when they are already behind. They sold him for a 20+ Million profit 9 years later. Ridiculous...
Juventus Brand is about to sky rocket and they get a guy that can finally win them the cl
Ronaldo can be rested a lot more and Juve are a lot more dominant in Serie A than Real in LaLiga so his stats shouldnt suffer.
 
They are paying him over a million a week (60M p/a gross) until he is 37. This transfer will cost Juve 85M a season for the next four years, if you factor in wages and transfer fee. That is fecking crazy money for a player his age.

He's an incredible player but no-one is timeless.

I think Juventus is going to sell him after 2 years. They are not going to wait until the contract ends to release him.

They are going to earn a lot of money in shirt sales and merchandise. Also, Juve are going to recover a lot of the money they spend for Ronaldo when they sell him.

BTW, I read it is 500k a week.

Buffon did not leave, he agreed with the club to retire, then he received the PSG's offer in May and decided to continue, but it was always the club's decision not Buffon's. He would have stayed if he could

At 35, with a huge contract, they won't get any resale value for him. They'll just have to release him from the contract. No one is paying a fee for a 35 year old on massive wages. Ronaldo is apparently earning 30M per year after tax. As there is a 50% tax rate in Italy, that's 60M a year. 60M divided by 48 pay periods = 1.25M per week gross or 600K after tax. If they sell him after two years, the fee gets amortized over 2 years, not 4. And assuming they don't get any money for him, he will have cost them 110M a season for each of the seasons.

It's a feck ton load of money. I am quite sure a club like Juve, that is trying to sit at the top table financially with the big boys, sees this as a necessary move to raise their profile. And perhaps it will prove to be a shrewd long term investment in the brand to expand their global appeal. But for any of the big clubs, already with sophisticated and far reaching global appeal (such as United, Bayern, any of the big English teams etc), it wouldn't be a smart move financially. This is all assuming he stays fit and keeps producing. Knowing Ronaldo he will. Man is a machine. But that's sentiment calling. Logic tells you that his performances are going to start dropping off very soon, given his age. In fact it's remarkable that they haven't already.

The big winners in the medium term are Real Madrid. For Juve the upside is increased global appeal and a deep CL run/possible victory in the next 1-2 years. They can't achieve more success domestically, because they already win it every year. Both the league and the cup. Eye balls will turn to Serie A for some of the Juve matches, but the systemic lack of competition in the league is the biggest cause for concern, and limiter to global appeal. This move only deepens that problem.

They also signed a quality GK (Perin).

They could also play 4231

I also read that Rugani is going to Chelsea, it seems that Higuain and Jorginho could sign for Chelsea too.

Do you think Hazard and Kante are going to stay?

You don't factor them things in unless a player signs for us.
 
It's obvious to see why CR chose Juve and not a return to the PL. In Serie A he can cruise in a lot of games and will still get his one goal/game ratio and conserve energy for the CL. Apart from the odd challenger like Napoli Juve is as sure of winning that title as Bayern is of winning the Bundesliga. So if he can make as much money there as he could at Real or in the PL it's an easy decision for him. Moreover he seems to need that new challenge to keep himself motivated which combined with his age is very telling.

He knows he is at the tail-end of his career and has strong fluctuations in his performance (that's why I didn't want him at RM any longer, this was the perfect moment to sell, before his goal ratio drops but when it's obvious his overall performance is going downhill). How long that tail will be depends on him keeping his body in shape and how teams incorporate his new position as forward. In a Ruud role he could tack on quiet a few years but I would be amazed if Juve get even 2 great years out of him. Next season will mark the make and break of this deal, starting at 35 it will go downhill in my opinion - even for him.

The manner how this transfer concluded so swiftly without many obstacles along the way truly mind boggling. Basically Juve just noded their head into what Madrid and Ronaldo demands from the get go.
 
Allegri will probably go with his 442/433 hybrid.

Ronaldo Dybala
Matuidi Can Pjanic Costa
Sandro Chiellini Benatia Cancelo
Szczesny​
 
Personally, im pleased United didn’t sink all that money into an asset with no resale value in 3-4 years. Its madness from Juve. They win the league at a canter most seasons, so they’re gambling big time on winning the Champions League here. My gut feeling says they won’t, but that’s because i despise them.
 
The Guardian has quoted that his salary and taxes will cost them 240million euros alone.

"In Italy clubs have to pay the same amount in tax, which takes the total cost of the transfer to €340m (€100m transfer fee plus €240m in salary and taxes)."

I don't get that...​

Ronaldo wants 30 million a year NET
That equates to a gross salary of 60 million GROSS x 4 years = 240 million
Add the transfer fee 100 million and you've got 340 million

Is he paid all that much more than Sanchez? What is he going to sell for in 4 years?

Ronaldo would have made us a title contender from the second he arrived, that means rather more than resale value imo

Jesus Christ. How many other players are on a gross salary of around 1million a week.

He won a grand total of two league titles in nearly ten years in Spain, and that's mostly with much better teammates in a supposedly weaker league. Last season Real ended up tailing Barcelona by nearly twenty points. It just does not compute in my opinion.
 
Not sure why it's so difficult to understand for some people but CR didn't want to return to United and the PL. There is nothing to achieve for him there, he could only lose if he doesn't life up to the hype and expectations. Juve is more like an advanced retirement home and extremely well paid at that.

This deal will be judged on the fact if they can win the CL with him. If not this is a massive failure and bust, if they do it was worth it, no matter how much it cost. I personally think it won't happen for them because the window for their team has closed already. They were close but Real Madrid/Barcelona were in their way.

Congratulations Cristiano.
Congratulations Juventus.
Congratulations Real Madrid.

Win-win-win for all parties IMO.

I very much expected him to turn up at PSG, but his transfer to Juventus is certainly the more interesting option.

That's actually a very sexy looking team on paper, minus the keeper I guess.

Also, surely Sandro leaves at some point this window.

There was a supposed leak of Messi's contract signed a couple of months ago. As far as i can recall, when you take into account basic wage, various huge bonuses, sign-on fees etc he ends up earning 400M plus for four years from 2018-2022, i guess that's gross. That would make it around 50M net per year. Ronaldo obiously has some sort of sign on bonus, if you spread that out during the duration of his contract he'd certainly end up on more than 60M, how much more I have no idea.
