ILoveLamp 270 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I bet there are a lot of fans in Colombia that support Real Madrid. Or that do now anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechromancer 262 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Maybe, but how many can go to the Adidas store and pay 60 euros for a shirt? A few madridistas, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki-Liki 405 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Real Madrid is a brand, one of the three most popular clubs in the world and the media create all the hype around the players. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure that they will eventually cover his transfer fee just by selling his shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Those numbers are undoubtedly fake. United actually sells more shirts than Real Madrid and they sell 1.5 m a year. Do the math. It is ridiculous that in the space of 4 days they sold more than one fifth of their yearly shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yeah, I'm pretty sure that they will eventually cover his transfer fee just by selling his shirts.No they won't. Let's do the math here.15 % off £60 is £9. So for every jersey they sell they only get £9.He cost £63 million. 63 million divided by 9 is 7 million. So they would have to sell 7 million James Rodriguez jerseys to cover his transfer fee.Real Madrid's total jerseys sold last year was 1.4 million.

Jype 6,398 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 furthermore, if their jersey sales don't increase past that 1.4mil, they aren't making any new money from Jersey sales due to James.Yeah, it's all about the new flavour of the month with them. More James shirts sold -> less Ronaldo shirts sold.Only extra they'll be getting by signing James is the sales peak at the time of the signing when people go crazy and feel they need to have the shirt of a new Galactico despite perhaps already buying some other player's shirt earlier, and also the increased amount of shirts sold in the player's native country Colombia where I would expect them to be buying a lot more Real Madrid shirts now that James is there. This additional income matters very little when we're talking about a player who cost them €80m in transfer fee and another €80m in wages for the duration of the contract.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It is not just the jersey but sponsorship deals...etc as well from the likes of Adidas, Nike or whoever. Overall if he lives up to his price tag by performing on the pitch they will make the money on him back over the years. For example I am sure now every year Ronaldo bring Madrid millions of euros, he probably paid his fee and wages in the 1st 2 years alone with his huge amount of sponsor deals.

Mechromancer 262 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 That would be a waste. They already have his LW: Gotze. And for Guardiola, Mario is much more than Marco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 What sponsorship deals are you talking about ?Real MAdrid has 50% of the image rights of their players (the new ones after the player sign for them). Every new contract Ronaldo or any other player do... 50% goes to Real Madrid.That's one of the reasons why Real Madrid is so strong financially and Barcelona in 2 or 3 years will have a great financial crises.
