Moggi Believes CR7 Isn’t Worth €100m

Cristiano Ronaldo’s €100 million (£90m/$117m) move to Juventus has been questioned by the club’s former managing director, with Luciano Moggi claiming he would “never have spent such a high fee on a 33-year-old”.

“In terms of marketing, it’s a sensational deal.
“But I would never have spent such a high fee on a 33-year-old – and I would certainly not have announced it before selling Higuain, someone who scores 20 goals a season.

“First I would have sold Higuain for €50m (£45m) and only then would I have announced Ronaldo.”

Moggi is adamant that he played no part in the transfer which took Ronaldo to Italy, with his efforts to land a modern day icon having ended after missing out on his services in 2003.
