Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
He was supposed to be the chosen one who brings the Juventus Turin at the top of European football, the one that allows the Old Lady to win the Champions League after which she has been chasing since 1996. But after three years, 134 games, 101 goals and 22 assists, the Portuguese has not reached his goal and flew out to reunite with one of his first loves, Manchester United. But a year later, the Italian team is still struggling financially to recover from the passage of the fivefold Ballon d’Or at the foot of the Alps.
Ronaldo’s salary hurts
Indeed, the figures revealed by Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family which owns more than 60% of the club, are not good. We are talking about losses estimated at 132 million euros, between January and June 2022 alone, for a total loss of up to 250 million euros in the first half. The reason for such a budgetary hole? The income from the stadium, but also the passage of Cristiano Ronaldo with his salary and his colossal bonuses, which still appear in the financial accounts. He received around 30 million euros a year in Turin, expenses that his club is struggling to balance today. Nothing reassuring financially, which also echoes the sporting situation, the club being only 7th after five days of the championship.
to summarize
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to weigh on Juventus Turin’s finances as he left the club to join Manchester United more than a year ago. As a reminder, the Portuguese international received around 30 million euros per year.
