The sums that are being thrown around to players from China, the latest being to Carlos Tevez, are almost surreal. The Argentine striker is off to play for Shanghai Shenua and will earn 38 million Euros a year, making him the highest paid player in the world. Despite the astronomical figures, the Chinese market could easily surpass them, especially for someone like Cristiano Ronaldo. 300 million to Real Madrid and 150 million a year to the Portuguese striker, these sums have even been confirmed by Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes who spoke to Sky Sport’s Alessandro Alciato: “It’s not the first time that these offers come our way, he is the best in the world, actually, the best ever. For that reason, this is a normal scenario. Nonetheless, Ronaldo is happy in Madrid, where he will continue to play. The Chinese market is a new one, currently undergoing expansion. Despite this, it’s impossible for Cristiano to go there. He is happy with Real Madrid, money isn’t everything”.
“He managed to lead Portugal to a Euro cup victory, something comparable to Genoa winning the Serie A. Any team that can field him on the pitch is basically playing with an extra player. The Champions League last 16 with Napoli? It’ll be a tough matchup, Napoli is an excellent team”.
Finally, a closing comment on James Rodriguez, a player that has been spoken about for Juventus’ transfer window: ‘He’s a top player, he doesn’t need to prove a single thing to anyone. All he has to do is work in order to impress Zidane. Juventus? I don’t speak about any single team, we’ll see what happens…”
