If either will retire or leave La Liga, do you think that will a paradigm shift in modern day football? I can see Messi retiring at Barca, but it looks like Ronaldo isn't so sure with Real anymore.
Why would Halal want to spend 50M per year on an useless guy until he retires?
Ronaldo will leave by the end of this season, mark my words.
He's sick of Benitez and Florentino backing up that retard will make him leave the team.

Because they easily make that money back with merchandising. People keep saying the buy of Bale was a financial disaster given Bale's track record, but for Real he turned even months ago due to merchandising.

yeah this plus the numerous let downs in players/managers being forced out like with ozil and ancelotti etc
>If either will retire or leave La Liga, do you think that will a paradigm shift in modern day football?
No. Ronaldo isn't that good anymore and he wouldn't be a great loss for Madrid, while Messi still has 4-5 great years left in him and has a GOAT apprentice in Neymar.

>he turned even months ago due to merchandising.
>I literally do not know how clubs make money
This is whole "they can pay that much money for players because they make it up in merchandising" is one big meme (especially if you include wages as well).

Basically this.
If you think that a player can report to his club more than 50 milions per year on a losing season and that he'll keep doing it in his decline...
>>63832036
Clubs can get a significant amount if they manage to negotiate part of players image rights deals.

Securing player's image rights means that the club can use his image to market itself for free (or for a reduced price). It's a way of saving money, not making it.
Do you people honestly believe Real only makes money when they win cups?
CR7 to MLS when?

No one said that. Learn reading comprehension.

Do you honestly believe that Ronaldo generates more than 50 milions to Real per year?
>>63832630
Do you honestly believe that Ronaldo gets paid $50M in cash annually?
>>63832655
Yes?
35M in wages, 30M in endorsements/ads.
Both Missi and Penaldo oscilate between $65-80m/yr. Never seen those "Highest Paid Athletes" Forbes lists?

According to Forbes it's $52m in salary alone
>>63832655
No. I said he costs 50m anually, not that he gains that. But Real has to pay taxes.
With the "Beckham law" it was only a 24% in taxes, now it's a 52% and he gains 20M per year plus the 50% of his image club rights. So the cost is 50M more or less.
