The bandwagon is creaking and groaning at the sheer weight of those jumping onboard, as $63,960,000 USD worth of Cristiano Ronaldoโs Juventus jerseys are sold in the span of twenty-four hours. $63,960,000 USD worth of barely minted merchandise out the freaking door. And at $123 USD a jersey, or more appropriately โฌ105, this comes to a staggering total of 520,000 units sold.
Along with the sudden addition of 1.5 million followers on Juventusโ social media channels, this latest feat just goes to demonstrate the true extent of Ronaldoโs star power. The five-time Ballon dโOr recipientโs transfer from Real Madrid was a move that sent shockwaves throughout the soccer world. The deal, as it were, is reportedly valued at $117 million USD, or โฌ100 million. Whether Juventus has honoured Ronaldoโs insane $1 billion USD buy out clause has not yet been confirmed.
The official unveiling of the Italian clubโs latest addition to their offensive line-up will occur in the coming weeks. Ronaldo is set to don the lucky number seven.
