i know that barça screwed m/ssi over and that his fans have every right to be pissed at that but i can't help but feel that the number of m/ssi fans and the number of barça fans is so disproportionate.

i love him but a part of me didn't want him back because of his fanbase, particularly the ones who hate barça. our youngsters are already under so much pressure and i don't want them being blamed and hated on for not being like the prime teams that m/ssi had in the past.

I believe you're far from being alone in this stance, anon! The sheer number of internet crowd that Ronaldo or Messi can drain is akin to the swifties or other internet phenomenon : it's lot of users that can together act quite dumb. Any crowd existing erases any nuances the people composing them, as individuals, could bring to discussions. I myself consider that what happened in those years is nothing less than disgraceful - from Luis Suarez's treatment and how Neymar's millions have been handled by Bartomeu, to how one of our biggest club legend has been fucked over by the board, and more specifically Laporta - who remains first of all an ex-lawyer and a politician - in an utterly shameful manner. Meanwhile, I believe that Laporta genuinely cares about the club (I might be wrong since as mentionned previously, he's a politician, but being from the city itself and everything, for now I do believe a genuine care to exist, mingled amongst politics, personal ambition and co) and most probably saved it from a dire wreckage ; so there you go.

Essentially 1) indeed that'd have been a problem, esp with the youngsters being more connected online and more susceptible to stumble upon those senseless criticism springing out of twitter 2) the outweight of what he could have brought to the team, being an experienced football player, having grown up within the club and knowing it as well as he does, good relationship with the coach and being the at the level that he is. Thinking specifically about the passes/vision dev. with Pedri, relationship with Gavi whose rage/energy about the club/on the pitch reminds me a lot of young Messi, Yamal, etc.

So yeah, valid thoughts! At the end of the day though it's chill, a done deal : he's not coming back as a player, probably will for a farewell match and later on as a board member, and eventually all that "true culer" vs "solo stan" discourse (it bears repeating that this is a majorly online discussion - cf the chants for him all throughout last part of the season - and that, as we know, the contrast between online and reality is a crude one lol) will mean nothing down the line as time erases those asperities. At the end of the day whenever there's talk about Messi and Barça, I always like to step back and hightlight that beyond the brand the name "Messi" has become and all the anger/frustration/annoyance that can legitimately spring out of culés/others from the massive cult-like following that gravitates around it, there's a guy who, like Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Guardiola and other beloved players, came from our very own academy, repeatedly chose to gave said club - not without rocky moments btw, let's not romantize there - 95% of his career/talent, while standing at times surrounded by "prime teams" and at others seemingly utterly alone in shameful XI sides hanging on by a thread. His coming back could've been beneficial on some plans ; it could've been a disaster on others ; and honestly, talking about the multiple issues there comes with being associated to such a worldwide persona and the consequences it has on his relationship with the club/its fans is quite interesting and unique, since it's a phenomenon that I believe spawned from the social media age, and of which the only equivalent to Messi in that cult-following is CR7, who changed clubs quite regularly and didn't forge such a special connection with one. Thus LM10 really seems to be a quite specific case. Messi's stay at Barça was far from being a steady, quiet journey too, and I think it's always healthy to critize it as it's never alright to idolize anyone, as long as the bottom line - which is why I have a slight irk at some self-proclaimed "true culer" - remains : this guy is as much a culer as anyone sitting in the stands or watching on the TV, and for the amount of things he gave that club, probably more.

This is the key to Ronaldhino. Ronaldhino never played and doesn't play for competition, to impress, for a club; he plays soccer as he lives life off the pitch, free of restriction and full of fun, and the points said is the true problem. Ronaldhino was never in competition with any other player. I repeat, Ronaldhino was never in competition with any other player. He wasn't a CR7 trying to be better than other players or win more trophies. Ronaldhino never cared about a brand or his image. I repeat, Ronaldhino never cared about his brand or his image. He wasn't a Messi who was and still is a media darling for off pitch activity. Ronaldhino just loves to play and that doesn't fit the fanbases who want to compare players trophies or judge players qualities, that doesn't fit the media's brand making or sponsorship goals, that doesn't fit many players agendas or their handlers agendas. And that is why Ronaldhino is one of a kind.

i agree people clown georgina for not being married but she’s doing so good for herself off of ronaldo’s fame she’s modeling, has her own show, and is doing collabs with brands. all the other wags just post their pr packages that no one really cares about and watch the kids

also even if georgina and ronaldo were to not get married at some point which i highly doubt i think she’s done well enough for herself to upkeep her lifestyle and i love her for it

she will definitely be able to upkeep her lifestyle if her and cr7 were to split

Richest football player

Football, also known as soccer in some parts of the world, is not just a sport; it's a global phenomenon. With millions of fans, lucrative sponsorship deals, and massive broadcasting rights, it has created some of the wealthiest athletes on the planet. In recent years, one name often surfaces when discussing the richest football player in the world: Cristiano Ronaldo. However, new entrants like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and even up-and-coming young talents are also making a significant impact on the financial leaderboard. Let’s dive into who the richest football player is and the factors that contribute to such vast wealth.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo: The King of Football Wealth

As of 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo is consistently ranked as one of the richest football players in the world. The Portuguese star, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers in history, has built a fortune estimated at over $1 billion. What sets Ronaldo apart is his ability to generate income not only through his football career but also through a variety of other ventures.

Football Earnings:

Ronaldo has played for some of the biggest football clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. His on-field salary remains among the highest, with lucrative contracts that continue to elevate his earnings. His most recent move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia is estimated to bring him $200 million annually, making it one of the most lucrative sports contracts in history.

Endorsements and Investments:

Beyond football, Ronaldo is an endorsement machine. His partnerships with brands such as Nike, Herbalife, and CR7, his own fashion brand, have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to his fortune. Additionally, Ronaldo has smartly invested in real estate, gyms, hotels, and even a private jet business, further boosting his net worth.

2. Lionel Messi: The Argentinian Magician

Not far behind Ronaldo is Lionel Messi, another football legend. Messi's wealth, which is also estimated to be in the billion-dollar range, comes from a combination of his wages and endorsements. The Argentine genius, known for his mesmerizing dribbling and playmaking ability, has spent the majority of his career at FC Barcelona before a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and, later, Inter Miami.

Salary and Contracts:

At Barcelona, Messi earned a record-breaking salary, which peaked at over $600,000 per week. His transfer to PSG saw him continue to command substantial wages. While at Inter Miami, Messi’s salary remains significant, but it’s his involvement with Apple TV’s MLS deal and endorsements that keep his fortune growing.

Endorsements:

Messi’s endorsements include major brands such as Adidas, Pepsi, and Mastercard, and they remain a critical part of his financial empire. In addition to his earnings on the pitch, Messi's off-field ventures in fashion, luxury goods, and real estate have ensured his financial portfolio remains diverse.

3. Neymar Jr.: The Brazilian Superstar

Rounding out the list of the richest football players is Neymar Jr., the Brazilian forward who is one of the highest-paid footballers in the world. With an estimated net worth of around $300 million, Neymar’s wealth continues to rise thanks to his high-profile transfers, commercial deals, and his brand appeal.

PSG and Al-Hilal Salaries:

Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 for a world-record €222 million not only cemented his position as a global superstar but also ensured he commanded one of the highest salaries in football. After moving to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in 2023, his salary reportedly exceeds $200 million per season.

Endorsements:

Like Ronaldo and Messi, Neymar’s wealth is significantly boosted by endorsement deals with companies like Puma, Red Bull, and Qatar Airways. Neymar is a cultural icon, leveraging his image both in and out of football to maintain his financial standing.

4. Young Footballers and Future Richest Players

With the emergence of new stars such as Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Vinícius Júnior, the race to be the richest football player is only getting more competitive. Mbappé, in particular, has turned down multiple offers from other clubs to stay with PSG, where his salary is among the highest in football. His future deals, along with endorsements from Nike and EA Sports, position him to potentially surpass current titans like Ronaldo and Messi in the future.

5. Wealth Beyond the Pitch: Investments and Business Ventures

What truly sets these footballers apart is their ability to capitalize on their fame beyond the game. Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and others have all diversified their income streams through investments in real estate, technology, fashion, and sports-related businesses. Ronaldo’s CR7 brand is a perfect example of how a footballer can transition from athlete to global entrepreneur.

In conclusion, while footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Jr. currently dominate the list of the world’s richest players, the future holds many opportunities for younger talents to join the ranks of football’s elite earners. With lucrative contracts, endorsement deals, and smart investments, the wealth of these athletes continues to grow, solidifying their status not only as sporting icons but also as business moguls.

What Made Young Ronaldo Stand Out: The Untold Stories Behind His Rise to Football Stardom

Cristiano Ronaldo’s name is synonymous with greatness, but the man we know today as CR7 had humble beginnings. Behind his dazzling skills, iconic goals, and countless trophies, there lies the story of a young boy from Madeira who overcame countless challenges. From battling a severe heart condition to nearly becoming CR28, Ronaldo’s early years are full of untold stories that shaped him into the global icon he is today. Let’s explore what made young Ronaldo stand out and how his journey to stardom is an inspiring tale of passion, perseverance, and destiny.

 1. Humble Beginnings in Madeira: Dreams Fueled by Passion

Born on February 5, 1985, in the sun-soaked streets of Funchal, Madeira, Cristiano Ronaldo grew up in a humble household. Despite financial hardships, young Ronaldo’s love for football was boundless. Kicking a worn football through narrow alleyways, he dreamt of greatness that stretched far beyond the island’s borders. His mother, Dolores Aveiro, and father, José Dinis Aveiro, a kit man at Andorinha Football Club, nurtured his passion. It was in the small football club of Andorinha where Ronaldo’s talent first began to shine.

Even as a child, Ronaldo displayed an exceptional work ethic. While other kids played for fun, young Ronaldo practiced relentlessly. His passion for the sport, combined with his innate talent, caught the attention of local coaches, who quickly realized they had a prodigy in their midst. But as talented as he was, Ronaldo’s journey was not without its hurdles.

 2. A Brush with Fate: The Battle Against Tachycardia

At the age of 15, Ronaldo faced a life-altering challenge: a severe heart condition known as Tachycardia. The condition caused his heart to beat irregularly, which not only threatened his career but also his life. For a boy whose entire existence revolved around football, this diagnosis was devastating.

Doctors advised surgery, and Ronaldo underwent a procedure to correct the issue. It was a pivotal moment that could have ended his burgeoning career before it even began. However, young Ronaldo’s resilience shone through. He recovered quickly and returned to the pitch with renewed determination. This setback only seemed to fuel his ambition further, a characteristic that would define him throughout his career.

 3. The Unlikely Number 7: The Birth of CR7

When Ronaldo joined Manchester United in 2003, he was just 18 years old. He initially preferred the number 28 jersey, the number he wore at his previous club, Sporting CP. Young Ronaldo was hesitant to take on the iconic number 7, a number previously worn by Manchester United legends like George Best, Eric Cantona, and David Beckham. The weight of the shirt came with immense pressure, and Ronaldo, still new to the club, was unsure if he was ready to carry such a legacy.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary Manchester United manager, insisted that Ronaldo take the number 7 jersey. Ronaldo was initially “petrified,” as he later confessed, but this decision would become one of the defining moments of his career. Instead of crumbling under the pressure, Ronaldo embraced the challenge. The number 7 became more than just a number – it became a brand, a symbol of his relentless ambition, and a reflection of his will to surpass expectations. Thus, CR7 was born.

 4. Unyielding Work Ethic: The Foundation of Success

While Ronaldo’s natural talent is undeniable, it was his work ethic that truly set him apart from his peers. From a young age, Ronaldo was known for his extraordinary dedication to training. Stories from his teammates and coaches paint a picture of a player who was always the first to arrive at training and the last to leave.

His determination to improve every aspect of his game, from speed and strength to technical ability, made him stand out. While other young players enjoyed their downtime, Ronaldo was always pushing himself to the limit. His legendary training sessions, which included extra hours in the gym and practicing free-kicks long after everyone had left, are a testament to his commitment to greatness.

 5. The Influence of Family: A Strong Support System

Behind every football legend is a strong support system, and for Ronaldo, it was his family. His father’s role as a kit man may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it provided Ronaldo with the early exposure to the world of football. Ronaldo’s father, though struggling with alcoholism, was immensely proud of his son’s achievements and supported his dreams from the beginning.

His mother, Dolores, was a driving force behind his success. When financial challenges threatened to derail his footballing aspirations, she made sure that Ronaldo never lost sight of his dreams. The love and support of his family grounded him, ensuring that no matter how far he went in the football world, he remained connected to his roots.

 6. The Hidden Talents: Table Tennis and Beyond

Before football took over Ronaldo’s life, he showed immense talent in another sport: table tennis. His quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination, which later became hallmarks of his footballing style, were honed during intense table tennis matches with his cousins and friends. These early experiences in table tennis would later translate to Ronaldo’s agility on the field, allowing him to react quickly to defenders and goalkeepers.

Interestingly, this hidden talent also reflects Ronaldo’s competitive nature. Whether it was table tennis or football, young Ronaldo hated losing. His relentless drive to win, in every situation, helped mold him into the fierce competitor he is today.

 7. The CR7 Galaxy: A Cosmic Honor

Ronaldo’s influence isn’t limited to football. In 2015, astronomers discovered a galaxy so bright that they decided to name it after him: the CR7 Galaxy. This is a testament not only to his astronomical rise in football but also to his cultural impact around the world.

For a boy from a small island to have a galaxy named after him is nothing short of remarkable. It speaks to Ronaldo’s global influence, transcending borders, and extending beyond the confines of sport. The CR7 Galaxy serves as a symbol of Ronaldo’s limitless ambition and his ability to inspire millions around the world.

 8. The Legacy of Young Ronaldo: More Than Just Football

Cristiano Ronaldo’s journey from a young boy in Madeira to one of the greatest footballers of all time is a story of talent, resilience, and unrelenting work ethic. But what truly made young Ronaldo stand out was his ability to overcome adversity, whether it was a heart condition, the pressure of the number 7 jersey, or the challenges of his humble beginnings.

Today, Ronaldo’s legacy is etched not only in football history but also in the hearts of fans worldwide. His story is a reminder that greatness is not just about talent but also about determination, discipline, and the courage to rise above challenges.

 Conclusion: The Making of a Legend

The untold stories of young Ronaldo offer us a glimpse into the making of a legend. His rise to stardom is not just a tale of football prowess but also a narrative of perseverance, sacrifice, and the unwavering belief in one’s dreams. From battling a life-threatening heart condition to embracing the iconic number 7 jersey, Ronaldo’s journey is a source of inspiration for athletes and dreamers alike.

Ronaldo stands as a testament to the idea that football legends are made, not born. Through hard work, determination, and an unyielding desire to succeed, young Ronaldo transformed into CR7 – a name that will be remembered for generations.

so emma raducanu is like britain’s sweetheart/total princess because she won the us open at 18 couple years back. jude and a lot of the other players tweeted support and congrats for her. she’s also a brand ambassador for dior and tiffany and i know she gets some backlash from tennis fans because they say she’s just model who occasionally plays tennis because she’s so high profile and has so many endorsements. imo, it’s unfair because she’s been plagued with injuries and is only 21 same age as jude lol. but he has liked so many of her pics even a couple before they followed e/o last year. and for emma she unfollowed so many people on insta last year (including declan rice, saka, jack grealish etc) and has really only kept people she’s friends with so it’s interesting that her and jude follow each other lol. i will say, it’s cute that some of the england team still follow her and like her posts despite her purging her ig. she’s gorgeous, smart, and talented and her and jude would be an INSANE power couple for england. she recently broke up with her boyfriend who’s from this american italian billionaire family.

So she’s basically the cr7 of tennis? Got brand deals and she’s kind of like the face of the sport rn? ( I dont know anything about tennis guys dont drag me). Also they’d be a cool power couple but thats never happening i fear 😭

[cant-get-no-worse]

I will be this annoying person that'll go "actually in my days". This whole Hazard retirement has my TL flooded with videos and I'm like what? Where have the standards gone? Same with Messi and CR7 rivalry tbh their numbers used to be around 30/40/50 goals in La Liga and we found that NORMAL. Insane. Now you got golden boy that don't even last four years or "best players itw 🔥🔥" that ghost 1/3 of their games. Are we insane, old or has it actually got worse? Honestly can't tell. Shame.

I think it's a mixture of good ol' nostalgia, but also football evolving. The 2010's produced some genuinely maddeningly good ballers - Messi and CR7 not even included, you could take Neymar and Hazard prime and they'd wash all current players, no exception. But you could say that from every other decade. The 2020's will also have their stars, if you give them time to build their legends.

Doesn't mean the standards have fallen, just means football has changed, what the masses give attention to (i.e. : stats, like the NBA) as well, not to mention the schedules tightening, the constant internet presence of players and their images/communications, players being hyped much younger than before (i.e : Yamal and co)... it's just a brand new generation. Not necessarily better or worse. Just a new way of apprehending football.

Neymar's return to Santos is about being an investor in santos, Neymar himself said he wouldn't come back to brasil because of its challenge but if this means he is a co owner with a chance for more ownership over time i can see the incentive for him, and al hilal i bet will be a large part of the financing. I like the idea of him being an investor for santos but i doubt he will be able to get back to full fitness in brasil. The league is too tough. too many young players, who are very hungry. And neymar doesn't play like messi or cr7, he still puts himself in the mixer.

SAF and Neymar at Santos: experts explain changes and what the club would gain from returning The star's return would bring new revenue, ranging from sponsorships to marketing and social media activations … Neymar could return to Santos this season, to stay at the club for at least six months. This would be the period that would allow the club to eventually implement its SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) project.

What is being said behind the scenes is that Neymar Sr. is the one who would bring the investors to make this purchase, possibly Arabs, and would also be part of the management at SAF , which would make it possible for Neymar to stay for these six months, or more, at Peixe. The discussion surrounding the change in the associative model has already been discussed by the Santos presidency, but there is still a long way to go. The lawyer José Francisco Manssur, partner at CSMV Advogados and one of the authors of the SAF law, which came into force in Brazil in August 2021, explains.

"The SAF is an alternative for obtaining new financial resources that, as an association, the club would not be able to obtain, for example, from the sale of shares. Santos is a global brand and this will therefore always be a fundamental asset for attracting investors interested in becoming members of the club in a SAF. However, the Law itself states that the SAF is not mandatory and can only be approved if the majority of the club's members decide on this alternative. Therefore, the decision on whether to become a SAF and receive new investments, or to remain a non-profit association, will always be in the hands of Santos' members," says Manssur, who is also the author of the book Futebol, Mercado e Estado , alongside Rodrigo Monteiro de Castro, which details the project for the recovery, stabilization and sustainable development of Brazilian football. … "The impact of a possible return of Neymar would be enormous, without a doubt, but today, it is local, restricted to Brazil. Even so, it is very relevant, because he is a reference for a considerable part, or even an absolute majority, of young Brazilian footballers born in this century. Many of these, who play for different clubs, are Santos fans, because of Neymar. … URL https://exame.com/esporte/saf-e-neymar-no-santos-especialistas-explicam-mudancas-e-o-que-o-clube-ganharia-com-retorno/

Il giornalista e direttore di Telelombardia Fabio Ravezzani su X è tornato sull’acquisto di Cristiano Ronaldo: “All’epoca fui tra i pochissimi a dire che CR7 era un’operazione troppo rischiosa (perché vi rinunciarono tutti i grandi club europei?) e tanti a dirmi: scherzi?

However, it's important to consider different aspects of wealth:

Future earnings: Ronaldo's future earnings might decrease after his playing career ends, while Messi's could potentially increase with future endorsements and ventures.
