According to common sense, for Barcelona, a European strongman, the goal-scoring machine in his early twenties, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in a rapid upward trend, pleasing to the eye, full of speed and excellent explosive power, is likely to create a new era of European football with the team and will never give up for a mere transfer fee. Then what happened between the aliens and Barcelona, Inter Milan and Barcelona finally contributed to the transfer of the first place in football at that time, which caused a sensation in football.
There are many reasons:
First of all, Inter Milan was really rich, similar to Real Madrid Barcelona today. Moratti never said no to the team's financial support. For Ronaldo, who showed his superstar temperament at a young age and has unlimited possibilities in the future, he took a money offensive and promised that the first annual salary in world football would be 4 million euros, which is twice that of Barcelona's salary limit policy.
Secondly, in the 1990s, Serie A was still in a period of prosperity. The technical and tactical level of Serie A as a whole and the ability to fight in Europe are second to none in the five major leagues. Only by playing in Serie A can the world really focus.
Third, although Ronaldo achieved great success in his first season in Barcelona, he was not happy in Barcelona. No matter the team environment, team performance and so on, he failed to meet Ronnie's expectations. The most important thing is that the salary promised by Barcelona President has been delayed, and Cristiano Ronaldo is dissatisfied.
One more thing, Inter Milan's transfer tactics, taking the form of direct buyout, made Barcelona want to stop. In addition, President Barcelona is dissatisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo's contract renewal and off-court life. At the same time, Barcelona has a new transfer target, rivaldo, and successfully acquired the cornerstone of the team, rivaldo, with the funds recovered from Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer, which can be regarded as a lost corner.
Finally, Ronaldo's performance in Barcelona in just one year is phenomenal, and the reasons why the two sides failed to renew the contract are complicated. For Cristiano Ronaldo, his performance in the five major leagues has been unstable due to injuries accompanying his career. Only in the national team world series, due to the limitation of the number of times, did he really show the elegance of aliens. For Barcelona, although he released the World Footballer of the Year and ushered in rivaldo, the cornerstone of the team's revival, it was a barely successful operation.
