The five times ballon d’or winner and now Juventus talisman in a recent interview seem to be dissatisfied with the heavy amounts been splashed on the current crop of players.
According to him; “Today there is a lot of focus on potential and the football industry is different,” the superstar forward told Portuguese broadcaster TVI.
“I’ll put the case of Joao Felix aside. Nowadays any player is worth €100m, even without proof. There is more money in football.
Cristiano Ronaldo made his Portuga l debut on this day in 2003 where he has capped 158 times and scored 88 times so far leading them to win the maiden edition of the European Nations Cup.
Back to the interview, he stated “Central defenders and goalkeepers are worth €70million, €80million.
“I do not agree with it, but this is the world we live in. The market is like that, we have to respect it.”
Ronaldo formerly held the all-time transfer fee record after Madrid forked out €94m to prise him away from Manchester United in 2009.
Asked how much he would be worth aged 25 in modern terms, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner replied: “It is hard to calculate.
“If a goalkeeper is worth €75m, a player who has done what I had must be worth three to four times more. Easy. “But I have no such illusion.”
Per the calculation it’s obvious 75 million euros multiplied by 4 will value him 300 million euros from what we deduced from the interview.
