Then, what on earth makes Juventus willing to sell Cristiano Ronaldo in the near future? Reporting from Daily Mail, Saturday (13/3/2021), Management Bianconeri even the player number 7 is willing to be redeemed at a low price, which is 25 million pounds.
The answer is Cristiano Ronaldo’s exorbitant salary. The Madeira-born player is paid up to 32 million Euros (equivalent to Rp.550 billion) per season! This fantastic fee has weighed heavily on Juventus’ balance sheet. Moreover, the club’s financial condition is being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Juventus is aware that Cristiano Ronaldo played an important role in winning two scudetto. However, this fantastic salary forced management to calculate carefully. Incidentally, the player’s contract will expire on June 30, 2022.
With a year to go, it makes sense that Juventus intend to sell Cristiano Ronaldo. The player is also reported to have felt uncomfortable playing in Turin because coach Andrea Pirlo began to sack him.
Given that he is no longer young plus the pandemic factor, Juventus are willing to slam the price to sell Cristiano Ronaldo. With this low price, Juventus hopes there are still interested clubs who want to bring the striker.
A number of clubs are predicted to become the port of Cristiano Ronaldo’s next career. Call it Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Real Madrid, to Manchester United.
