Juventus sold $ 60 million in Cristiano Ronaldo jerseys in 24 hours

Cristiano Ronaldo fever seizes Juventus.

Juventus, Italy's biggest football club, has already sold $ 60 million worth of Ronaldo jerseys in just 24 hours, more than half of its transfer fee.

Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus for 129.3 million dollars (99.2 million pounds) last week, but the Italian club will not recover most of the transfer costs of the only jerseys sales . the revenue generated by the kit manufacturer (in this case, Adidas). It is therefore likely that Juventus will receive only 6 to 9 million dollars of this money.

Regardless, Juventus still feels the effects of buying one of the most famous athletes on the planet.

When news broke of Ronaldo's expected move, Juventus shares jumped nearly 40%. The club has also seen huge growth in social media as its channels have won more than 1.5 million new subscribers in one day.

Speaking of his transfer, Ronaldo said he hopes to "bring Juventus to an even higher level," according to the BBC. The Guardian reported that he also said that he "wanted to leave his mark on the history of Juventus".

Looks like he may have already done these things without even kicking.
