He's probably saying this next year will be his last and he won't renew.

If he wants to leave to compete it makes no sense for him to stay this season and move next year, he?d just waste a season of his career. He will either leave now or stay for another 2 years.

Well he cant really leave now unless the board seriously cut his transfer fee

That article claims they sold 60m worth of jerseys not that they made 60m.

Clubs make deals with suppliers to get the vast majority of profit from any shirt sale.

Juve would have made nowhere near 60m and may made next to nothing as Nike pays them and takes profit on shirts unless their is commission involved which is most likely minimal.

Yeah, but I said that in the original post.

Even if that article is accurate then it is around 5-6m Euros that Juve made on Shirt Sales with Ronaldos name but that wont be everyone buying a shirt who would not otherwise.

Even if half of them did then you are looking at 2-3m profit for Juve and not quite the huge numbers the headline suggests.

It sounds harsh, but Man City would be weaker with him.

They would run less, move less, press less.
They would have less options in attack.
Messi would score some individual wonder-goals but their results as a team would probably go down.

It sounds harsh, but he wouldn't improve any of top teams who run a lot like Bayern, Liverpool, City.

City might buy him only for marketing reasons.
Like Beckham in his Milan/Psg/Usa days.

He can play only at Barca, Man Utd, Arsenal, Psg and Inter at this point.

The meeting between Koeman and Messi was not friendly.

-Leo was surprised by Koeman's style who was strict and wanted control from day one.

-Koeman told him that the privileges he had previously had expired, and that the priority was for the team.

- Koeman tells the team captain that players will end control of the locker room with him.

I feel it's different this time. He clearly seems pissed. And why would he want to stay another here knowing he probably won't win anything?

You forgot to mention CR/Juve.

Mad respect for Koeman if this actually happened.
