DBasia.news – The Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, also observed the development of football in the era of modern football. The Juventus player was quite surprised at the crazy prices of footballers at the moment.
Ronaldo, 34 years old, was unable to comprehend the big tags – reaching 100 million euros – could be spent easily by the club for players who had not proven anything. Simply seeing the talent and quality of the players, the club can immediately purchase them with a large dowry.
Examples such as Joao Felix who moved to Atletico Madrid to Benfica at a price of 120 million euros, there is also Manchester United who spent 80 million pounds to recruit Harry Maguire, making him the world’s most expensive defender.
Ronaldo did break the world transfer record in 2009 when he went from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 94 million euros, as well as when he joined Juventus from Madrid last year for 100 million euros, however, Ronaldo has proved his worth.
Ronaldo has discussed the player’s price inflation that continues to increase every year. He disagrees with the ease of clubs spending heaps amounts of money on players who have yet to prove anything, however, Ronaldo also accepts the situation in the era of modern football.
“It’s hard to make calculations in the (era) of modern football. (Clubs) gamble on a lot of potential players and the football industry is different,” Ronaldo told Portuguese television channel TV1.
“Apart from Joao Felix’s transfer, any player can leave for 100 million euros, without even having to show anything. There is a lot of money in football.”
“A central defender and goalkeeper can go for 70 or 80 million euros. I dissagree (with the situation), but that’s the world we live in now and you have to appreciate it,” concluded the former Sporting Lisbon player.
