Hard to really understand Juventus buying Ronaldo. Hes costing them 30 million Euros a year, a 100 million off the bat, and a 4-5 year deal depending on where you read. That takes him to 38!! He's already a player who has completely had to redefine his game, as he no longer has the pace or the eye for a pass to create, hes turned into a classic poaching number 9. Another 3-4 years down the line, what will they be paying 30 millions euros for? He could be utterly finished.
In order to finance the deal, they have had to sell Rugani to Chelsea, their only defender who isnt ready for retirement whos any good. They want to sell Sandro, who is quality, and will have to flog Higuain under his value for a quick sale, a man whos scored nearly 150 goals in Italy in the last 5 years. It is a bizarre strategy. Is Ronaldo worth 250 million in financial outlay, your best defender, a 30 goal a season striker, and one of the best left backs in the game? Rugani was sold for chip change, Higuain looks set to be sold for chip change.
If Ronaldo doesnt win them the Champions League next year, the project will be a disaster. And really, he can only hope to be anywhere near his best next year. He has lost pace, power and stamina cant be long to follow seeing as though hes been a regular int he game for 15 years.
Real will be happy I think.
