Cristiano Ronaldo finally moved to Barcelona in La Liga!
The time has just entered July, and Barcelona can't wait to officially announce this superstar transfer that shocked the world.
This also announced that Barcelona in the new season will have the world's most luxurious and top-notch superstar lineup, and even stars as strong as Sanchez will have to sit on the bench at the Nou Camp, which shows how amazing Barcelona's lineup is.
The transfer fee is as high as 600 million euros, tying the world transfer fee record set by Yang Yang when he joined Real Madrid from Liverpool four years ago. Not only that, the Portuguese's annual salary in Barcelona will also reach an astonishing [-] million euros, after tax!
Just in February of this year, Barcelona had just reached a contract renewal agreement with Messi, raising Messi’s liquidated damages to a staggering 5000 million euros, and at the same time increasing his after-tax annual salary to 600 million euros, second only to Yang Yang of Real Madrid and Eto’o of Anzhi in the Russian Super League in the world football.
And now, Barcelona gives Cristiano Ronaldo the same salary as Messi, and it is all after tax. This is undoubtedly quite surprising, because it means that Barcelona will bear a heavier salary burden.
After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Barcelona, Yang Yang ranks first in the current salary list of world players with an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax. Real Madrid is still actively renewing his contract, but this time Yang Yang did not ask for a salary increase, but wants to maintain the current status quo.
Eto'o ranked second with 2000 million euros, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo tied for third, followed by Paris Saint-Germain's Ibrahimovic, Barcelona's Iniesta and Neymar, their annual salary is expected to be around 500 million euros.
That is to say, in the top ten of the current world football salary rankings, Barcelona occupies a full four seats. This is quite an astonishing number, and it also proves that while Barcelona has the most luxurious top lineup in the world, it is also burdened with unimaginable salary pressure from the outside world.
But even so, on the day Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Barcelona, tens of thousands of Barcelona fans still poured into the Nou Camp to witness the joining of the Portuguese superstar.
Everyone believes that he will become another Portuguese superstar who shines in Barcelona after Figo, and at the same time become another Ronaldo, helping Barcelona to overthrow Real Madrid's rule in La Liga.
This is a crazy individual show. The joining of Cristiano Ronaldo has caused an earthquake all over the world. Countless fans are cheering for this amazing transfer. At the same time, they are full of expectations for the new season of La Liga, especially Barcelona.
Numerous media are scrambling to report that Barcelona, which has just won the Champions League, will continue to dominate European football after getting Cristiano Ronaldo, while Real Madrid, which has begun to reduce investment in the past two years, will be cut off in the new season.
Major European gaming companies have also offered odds. Barcelona is far ahead in the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League championship battles.
On the other hand, Real Madrid, although still ranked second, but the momentum is obviously not as good as before.
Everyone believes that the combination of Yang Yang, Robben, Hazard and Di Maria will be overshadowed by Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Sanchez.
While the outside world was raging and frantically enthusiastic about Barcelona, the Spanish newspaper Confidential quietly published a report, reposting a Forbes statistical report. The report showed that although Real Madrid missed the Champions League last season, their revenue for the entire season was as high as 7000 million euros, far ahead of all sports clubs in the world.
7000 million euros!
What an astonishing number is this?
It can be said that it is unimaginable and even unbelievable number for all the rich teams!
According to the Forbes report, Real Madrid's revenue has continued to rise for four consecutive years. The revenue of 7000 million euros mainly comes from three parts, game broadcast rights revenue, match day revenue and commercial sponsorship revenue.
Forbes also made an in-depth analysis of Real Madrid's commercial revenue, and believed that North America and Asia are the fastest growing areas. These are the key areas that all the giants have been vying to develop in the past few years. Real Madrid, relying on the momentum of the top superstar Yang Yang, has achieved great success in these two areas and harvested wildly.
In contrast, in the past few years, although Barcelona has been committed to developing the North American and Asian markets, its financial revenue is only 9000 million euros, far behind Real Madrid, and this is still in the case of Barcelona winning the Champions League.
Confidential also revealed that Real Madrid has incurred huge debts due to the renovation of the Bernabéu Stadium and the construction of the office building at the Valdebebas training base. However, due to the extremely low interest on the debts and the extremely long period of time, based on Real Madrid’s current financial income, there is no pressure on the repayment ability at all, and there is no burden.
On the contrary, Barcelona. During Laporta's administration, the team's debt was as high as 3000 million euros. This is a shattering figure. After Rosell came to power, he has been committed to reducing the team's debt. It took three years to reduce it to 3000 million euros. This is regarded as a major achievement of Rosell.
However, according to the data disclosed by the Confidential News, due to the huge investment in the introduction of Neymar last year, coupled with the signings of Mathieu and Alexander Song, the team's debts in the past year have not decreased, but have increased.
Especially this summer, the 4 million euros for the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo all come from bank loans, which will bring Barcelona's debt back to a historical high of more than 600 million euros. Not only that, Cristiano Ronaldo's after-tax annual salary of [-] million euros will further increase the club's salary expenditure, which is expected to exceed [-]% of the team's financial income. This is definitely an unhealthy figure.
In contrast, Real Madrid has been controlled between [-]% and [-]%, which is undoubtedly quite healthy.
The Confidential newspaper believes that Spain's economic situation is not good, but Real Madrid's business is not losing money. One of the important reasons is that the amazing commercial value brought by Yang Yang, coupled with the team's outstanding performance, has brought huge psychological pressure to rival Barcelona, which led to Barcelona having to start an arms race and introduce superstars for two consecutive seasons.
"But Barcelona must have a clear enough understanding. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to have such a large-scale superstar team when the financial revenue cannot catch up with Real Madrid. This will eventually drag Barcelona into a debt quagmire from which they cannot extricate themselves."
With the outside world excited about Cristiano Ronaldo's landing at Camp Nou, this report from Confidential did not attract much attention, and everyone was more excited about joining the Portuguese superstar, and they were boiling.
At least, for ordinary Barcelona fans and members, superstars are more attractive than those incomprehensible debts.
The Catalan media also revealed that Neymar is submitting an application with Barcelona, hoping to renew his contract and improve his salary. He hopes to catch up with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and at the same time strive for an annual salary increase of about 1000 million euros starting from [-].
But Barcelona officials ignored such rumors, apparently intending to deal with them coldly.
With the current finances of Barcelona, after the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo, it is bound to adopt the method of increasing income and reducing expenditures to control the club's expenses. At the same time, it will find new powerful sponsors to increase the team's financial revenue, including the jersey advertising contract with Qatar Airways. Barcelona hopes to reach 6000 million euros, tying Real Madrid.

When the whole world was still immersed in the earthquake of Cristiano Ronaldo joining Barcelona, Real Madrid officially announced in a low-key manner that it had introduced Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool at a high price of 5000 million euros.
Suarez said in an interview with the media in Uruguay that he already belongs to Real Madrid, and he also apologized for biting Ivanovic before.
"A few days ago, Yang Yang called me. I accepted his advice. I will receive counseling from a psychologist in Madrid. I hope this problem can be resolved."
As for the upcoming trip to Real Madrid, Suarez expressed that he is looking forward to it.
"There is no doubt that I want to play with Yang Yang. He is a great player. He is the best in my mind in the past, present and future. I think it is an honor and a pride for all professional players to be able to fight side by side with a player like him on the court."
Suarez promised that he would fully cooperate with Yang Yang in Real Madrid and dedicate all of himself.
But compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer, Suarez has no hope of competing in terms of fame or transfer fees, and there is no hype from the outside world. Even many media believe that this is a compromise made by Real Madrid when they were unable to introduce Aguero.
This undoubtedly makes people further look down on Real Madrid's prospects for the new season.
But in fact, Isco, Iljaramendi, Danilo, Casemiro and Suarez, Real Madrid invested more than 3000 million euros in the transfer market this summer, while Barcelona has only introduced one player, Cristiano Ronaldo, and spent [-] million euros so far.
But the attraction of superstars is obviously greater. The joining of Portuguese superstars has completely made Barcelona the focus of the European transfer market, while Real Madrid is somewhat eclipsed in comparison.
But today's Real Madrid is no longer the fallen nobleman four years ago. Today's Galaxy Battleship has won the Champions League three times in a row, the La Liga Triple Crown, and the Grand Slam of the season.
Because, the best superstar recognized by the whole world is in Real Madrid!
