Title: Is Ronaldinho worth £89m
Post by: Chubbs on Wednesday, July 11, 2007, 16:59:57
Bit OTT in my opinion


Spanish daily AS claims that Berlusconi is prepared to pay the 125 million Euros required to trigger Ronaldinho's buy-out clause at Barca.

The report claims that Milan will make a series of bids for the Brazilian forward, but if they do not succeed then such is Berlusconi's desire to bring him to the San Siro, he will meet the enormous buy-out clause, which would comfortably break the world transfer record currently held by Real Madrid, who paid £45.6million for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.

AS goes on to claim that an agreement has already been reached between Ronaldinho and Milan that will see him sign a five-year contract worth around £6million a year, plus exclusive image rights.

Ronaldinho has been in extensive contract negotiations with the Catalan giants to improve his current deal, which runs until 2010.

However talks have stalled, leaving the prospect of the Brazilian joining the European champions open.

Thats not very good business sense is it?

"We're willing to pay £89 million, but only if you reject our offers of £30-£45 million"

Does anybody remember Arsenal signing Junichi Inamoto, he was crap - I think he only played once for them and they got something like 3 times his transfer fee in shirt etc revenue from the far -east.

He was then released on a free

No footballer SHOULD be worth that much, but I'd say that signing him would probably lead to them earning more than that so in a sense yes he is

Anyplayer is worth what someone will pay for them. If Milan are willing to pay it, then he is worth it. He will be worth at least twice that in revenue from merchandise.

Barca will sell either Eto'o or Ronaldinho this summer. I do not think Ronaldinho is worth £89m (125m euros). more like 30-40m.
