Juventus in big trouble if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves
The Portuguese, key on the field of play, has made Juventus a lot of money in terms of finances and sponsorship. His departure would be very bad for 'Vecchia Signora'.
Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus was a big boost for the Italian club. Not s much on the field, but also off it.
The Portuguese skyrocketed the club's share price and despite his relationship with Nike, he helped the side get a better sponsorship deal with Adidas.
Leonardo set alarm bells ringing at Juventus this week when he said that Cristiano Ronaldo's signing is always on the table for PSG.
'The Daily Mail' went into detail on the economic impact he would have on the Italian side if CR7 leaves. Their 57 million euro annual contract as well as the ten year one with Allainz (100 million) could be affected.
The club which signs the Portuguese will have to get 31 million euros a year as his salary, but, on the other hand, they will get lots of money from other sources.
However, Juventus would not just lose money off the field. The 'Bianconeri' saw against Barca that when Ronaldo is not there, they are significantly weaker.
It makes one feel that Juventus have been allowing their squad to become poorer so that they could keep Cristiano Ronaldo and they have not freshened up the team. A similar thing was happening at Barca, but they have now get the likes of Pedri, Trincao and Dest.
