still less than what most people expected, monaco only gained a ~€30 mil profitAccording to the Daily Mail, Rodriguez has officially signed for Real Madrid on a six year deal for £60 million to become the fourth most expensive signing ever.
tbh i think bale would be better playing cf than ronaldo, he played in the 10 for tottenham a bunch very successfully, and I'd definitely believe he could be a good false 9. that said, i really dont think james is as good on the wing as he is playing in the 10, so not sure that moving bale in helps immensely.Monaco shelled out a ridiculous fee for him in fairness.
I wonder if Madrid ever considered using Ronaldo up front, he's got the tools to do it and they have unbelievable players around him now.
Real Madrid has the money and is the last club to get problems with ffpwhere is my financial fair play.
And the big thing is theyre making it all back in shirt sales, in under a year for most of these signings. Real has such a major worldwide following that it would be almost impossible to spend so much they started to lose money, and thats the only time FFP kicks in.Adding to what Sapientia said, Real Madrid has sold players for high fees as well so the loss of money hasn't been that huge
No, Real Madrid doesn't make 100m with James, Cristiano or Bale shirts in a year. That's an urban myth and complete bollocks.And the big thing is theyre making it all back in shirt sales, in under a year for most of these signings.
