What was Liverpool’s profit/loss when they sold Ronaldo, assuming value of money remained same for 5 years? He was 25 when he left the club. Correct Answer $25 million profit
Ronaldo’s value when he entered the club was $25 million
When he left he was 25, therefore, so he spent 5 years in the Liverpool and his value increase every season
His value when he left the club = $25 million + (5 × $3 million) = $40 million
Ronaldo’s transfer price = $65 million
