Ronaldo Transfer: Why Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus transfer crushed Fiat workers

NEW DELHI: A few minutes before the kickoff of the semi-final between Belgium and France, scheduled for the 2018 FIFA World Cup ™, the fraternity of football has been undermined by football news. It was a charismatic Portuguese striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, transferred to the Italian club Juventus Real Madrid in Spain for a staggering $ 130 million.

As fans of the two European giants of the club and others faced contrasting emotions, an Italian union called USB Lavoro Privato was preparing its program to call a strike at a Fiat factory.

The Italian family Agnelli, owner for more than 90 years of the Juventus club based in Turin, controls Fiat Chrysler Automobile NV (FCA) and Ferrari NV through its holding company Exor NV, which holds 64% of the capital . club.

The Fiat factory union is upset by the opulence demonstration of the promoters who managed to convince Ronaldo. "It is unacceptable that the Fca and Cnhi workers continue to ask for huge economic sacrifices for years, the same decision to spend hundreds of millions of euros for the purchase of a player", said the union in a statement.

At the moment when some of Ronaldo's fans are disappointed that the transfer of the 33-year-old can not break Neymar's record by transferring his Barcelona base to Paris Saint Germain (PSG), here is a excerpt from the union statement:

"As workers and their families tighten their belts more and more, the property decides to invest a lot of money in a single human resource! Is it normal that a single nobody wins millions and thousands of families? do not reach the middle of the month?

However, for Juventus and the Agnelli family, the case could become a gold mine. The Bloomberg news agency quoted Eric Smallwood, president of the Apex Marketing Group, to report that if Ronaldo could lead the club to the UEFA Champions League final, the media exposure for this year alone would be about 58.3 million dollars.

In any case, Juventus needed some brand value. After spending 17 years at the Italian club, Gianluigi Buffon, his iconic goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, has been replaced by Argentine Paulo Dybala and Croatian Mario Mandzukic. According to all accounts, Dybala has not yet reached his full potential and Mandzukic seems to have lost some of his sting, compared to a few seasons ago.

Perhaps, Fiat Chrysler, whose Jeep logo is plastered on the black and white striped jerseys of Juventus, will not upset some raging employees as long as it comes in charge of the magic of CR7.
