DBasia.news – A number of big European clubs are wary of Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United. Napoli will be one of those who will sign him.
A number of well-known British media have indeed reported Ronaldo’s intention to leave Old Trafford. The absence of Manchester United from the Champions League next season is believed to be the main cause.
Ronaldo actually still has one year remaining on his contract at Manchester United. However, the Red Devils will have difficulty to keep him if he submits a transfer request.
Big European clubs have started to be linked to become Ronaldo’s newest port. Chelsea, Bayern Munich, AS Roma, to Napoli are included.
The emergence of Napoli is certainly somewhat surprising. Il Partenopei’s financial condition is not as strong as their competitors.
Napoli are also doubtful of being able to pay Ronaldo’s salary of around 500 thousand pounds per week. They were even busy cutting the wages of their stars so they were forced to release Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens.
This condition makes the chances of Napoli to win the hunt for Ronaldo relatively small. Their only advantage is that they will play in the Champions League.
According to the Italian Football report, Napoli have one way to pay for Ronaldo’s transfers and salaries. What is meant is to make as much profit as possible from the sale of jerseys.
Napoli are now indeed one of the few clubs that produce their own jersey. That means all the profits from the sale of these competitive uniforms go to their treasury.
For information, Manchester United made a profit of 32.5 million pounds on the first day of selling Ronaldo’s jersey last season. However, the funds did not fully enter the club’s treasury as it had to be shared with Adidas as the apparel sponsor.
Ronaldo’s big name will certainly make Napoli fans flock to purchase Ronaldo’s jersey. It is possible that his charm will surpass Diego Armando Maradona in the past.
