Ronaldo found a last-minute problem closing the purchase of Cruzeiro

Carlos Meneses São Paulo, March 17 Former Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazario is in last-minute trouble in completing the acquisition of Cruzeiro after seeking a change in the purchase agreement that cleared the doubts of some club managers I'm facing. The current obsession stems from the tax liabilities of R 200 million (about 40 million dollars), which were initially unexpected, in addition to other great obligations borne by Belo Horizonte in recent years. On Tuesday night, “Of Nômeno” said on the Twitch channel that “if we do not pay our debts, our assets will be at risk.” That's what I said. Ronaldo, owner of Real Valladolid in Spain, is willing to bear Cruzeiro's tax liabilities, but in return, the club has announced that the team training center (Toca I and Toca II) wants to be granted ownership. This will ensure that Cruzeiro does not lose his “Toca” and that there is no shortage of places to train. He said “Without these guarantees, it is very difficult to continue the project, so we need to speed it up.” He warned However, today the agreement between Ronaldo and Cruzeiro, one of the big clubs in Brazil, was announced on December 18, and the deadline for closing business ends on April 18. The current president of Cruzeiro, Sergio Santos Rodríguez (Sergio Santos Rodríguez), defended in a note the changes requested by the old Canarinha 9 shirt this Wednesday, announcing the talks He said he had an “optimal perspective” on performance. “Ronaldo was born here as a football player and has already shown more than once that his relationship with the club is certainly not economic,” he said. On the evening of the same day, the board of trustees of the Cruzeiro Council breached the confidentiality clause by questioning several points of the contract and disclosing controversial details in a statement signed by several members. The public agreement includes a payment of about $400 million (now $80 million) over the years for 90% of the shares in sports organizations that have had to change the law and incorporate. Santos Rodríguez explained that the debt at that time was the responsibility of the new administration and would not detail which debts. However, the board condemned the agreement that the contract does not provide for the buyer to be in debt, and the document only provides contributions of about $10 million. According to the management, the remaining $80 million announced will be generated from the club company's own earnings. They also state in a memo published by the portal “ge” that the entire Cruzeiro player, more than 100 young people, will become the property of a new public limited company managed by Ronaldo. The board of directors will never oppose Ronaldo's management or the new conditions he demands, but the agreement is “extremely harmful” for Cruzeiro, and the former Barcelona and Real Madrid I believe it is “excessively profitable” for the striker. “We strive to rebalance all issues related to our business.” The signer said. Ronaldo, 45, did not comment on this latest episode in which several advisers to Cruzeiro violated the principle of confidentiality affecting the purchase agreement. Meanwhile, the Celestial Team, led by Uruguayan director Paulo Pezzolano, gave a brilliant start to the 2022 season. The day before, he defeated the modest Tuntum 0-3, entered the third stage of the Brazilian Cup and took second place in the Mineiro Championship, where he scored 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. With only one day left to finish the first phase of the regional tournament in Minas Gerais (southeast), Cruzeiro was the almighty Atletico Minei, the final champion of the Brazilian League and Cup There were only 3 points left for the leader of Ro.
