Is there really anything of substance happening? So many random tweets by different "sources" but we all know that 99.9% of them are generally absolute bollocks?

I think he would be a great purchase for us for a year or two (max) and would certainly score goals.

But the interesting parts for me are that there is no explanation (as of yet) why is is leaving Juve and why Mendes is hawking him desperately around al over the place so suddenly. He has clearly approached other teams and yet no one seems to want him (now al ot of that maybe down to salary I guess).....

An if he has been offered to us and all Juve want is 25-28m for him then why are we potentially so hesitant? Considering we were looking at blowing near 150m of Kane and have blown 100m on Grealish....25-28m is a drop in the ocean compared to those figures.....Again I know his wages will be considerably higher than any of those but we were told the figures for Messi were workable so Im guessing they would be in the same ball park at least.

I am sitting on the fence. I am beyond caring at this point and the fact of the matter is that we would be signing him as a striker. His goal scoring record is only matched by one. That other one only plays a false 9, of which we have about 10 of that can play that position. The thing we are lacking is those random aguero goals out of nowhere which I am pretty sure Ronaldo could provide.

I lost the whole united thing years ago, then there was a period where we were evolving again, then Liverpool became the threat. Now I believe Liverpool are gone and Chelsea are on the rise.

To answer your questions, the Juve substance of no contract renewal is fact, it was public. Ronaldo is looking after two things now, his income which Juve cannot afford to keep up, and his legacy (ultimately fighting against Messi). It makes sense, as you have said and the sources are probably not 99.9% bollocks. I would suggest they are probably 80% bollocks and 20% chinese whispers (are we still allowed to say that? If not I apologise).

If you remember, I am pretty sure the majority of clubs didn't furlough their players which had an extreme knock on effect to finances. There are a lot of other more educated blues here that will probably explain the finances of the various European clubs, but to summarise, they are having to reduce.

Ronaldo potentially suits 3 parties:
- Juve get £50m off their books for the year (£25m amortisation over purchase + £25m over salary)
- Ronaldo gets a 2 year contract greater than what he is due over the remainder of his last year (£25m)
- We need goals, but we need to make it work for us and the accounting which doesn't mean giving in to first demands.

Kane - I think we were proposing £75m+£50 in performance to spurs which over a 5 year contract (I think it may have been 6 but I will base figures on 5 year) would be £15m a year + (variable) £10m year dependent on games played/product/etc. Salary per say would be £250k/week (So £28m-38m a year.)

Let's compares this to Ronaldo who would be £12.5m/year amortisation over 2 years plus £20m/year salary. (£37.5m/year non-variable). It would be impossible to get any sort of incentivisation with either Juve or Ronaldo as they will both be looking to cash in.

I appreciate a lot of my figures are probably inaccurate and the wrong currency, but I expect (among other things) that is the financials of the deal.
