    Not sure there's that many people in Saudi Arabia to make the money back in shirt sales.

    Worldwide sales as millions buy a Ronaldo shirt around the world. I don't blame him taking the offer. He's already filthy rich but it's a lot to turn down.

    I don't think there's a hope in hell of them selling enough shirts to make the money back

    If your only motivation is money then I can see why you don't blame him.
    For me, it would be a big step down in standard so there would be no job satisfaction.

    People buy his shirt because he's at the top of his profession. That is no longer the case.

    I think the value will to some part be recouped in the attention the Saudi league gets…. There will be increased shirt sales across the world. But not enough to cover.

    We’re also forgetting that money to the elite Saudis is not something they worry about.

    What happened to wanting to play champions league?

    Clearly gone for the money but probably needs to call it a day.

    This is how long it would take BFC…. Actually I think they have got it wrong… I think it would take us 15.7 years for 1 week of Ronaldos wage…

    A) the shirt sales paying for a player is a complete myth
    B) the kids these days will be wearing an Mbappe or Haaland shirt
