Last week, Tottenham Hotspur showed one of the biggest transfers of the season: Gareth Bale, who left the club seven years ago to signal Real Madrid a record payment at the time, returned.
Last week, the club had announced another very impressive signing: two-time Women’s World Cup winner Alex Morgan will join the Spurs women’s team.
Both agreements make a lot of sense for the Spurs, and not just because they attract winners shown with full trophy showcases that, at their respective heights, are among the most productive players in the world.
Off the field, Bale and Morgan are also world stars.
Let’s take your social media accounts, where Morgan has a combined number of twitter and Instagram enthusiasts of 13. 1 million; the Spurs’ current male star, Harry Kane, has 12. 7 million; Bullet, 61. 6 million.
Of course, a strong social media presence doesn’t make a player a smart signing, but it immediately provides the club with a potentially multibillion-dollar new audience and the business opportunities presented to them.
The two signings, which only fear the 2020/21 season at this stage, also reflect the immediate expansion of the club over the past five years. In March, before the full effect of the COVID-19 pandemic was known, the Spurs announced. its monetary effects for 2018/19, revenue reached $534 million and profits rose to $200 million, meaning the Spurs made a higher operating profit by 380% over the past five years.
In recent years, the Spurs have surpassed Arsenal as the top-earning team in London and lately they are valued at $ 1. 624 billion. Adding more star names to your male and female configurations is a logical step.
Since money has an effect on the ongoing pandemic on professional sports teams, any other source of earnings will also be welcome.
The Spurs have obtained a low-interest loan of 175 million pounds ($223. 8 million) from the Bank of England to cover pandemic prices, which come with broadcaster rebates and a significant loss of ticket sales revenue. that cash will not be spent on player transfers and that Bale and Morgan have signed agreements that make monetary sense for the Spurs.
Real Madrid would continue to pay at least part of Bale’s estimated weekly salary of 600,000 euros ($777,000) while on loan at Tottenham. There is also no move-in payment for Morgan, whose salary is paid through American football.
While the Spurs certainly hope that either signing can increase the number of eyes at the club, not all agreements are a matter of advertising appeal. Bale and Morgan, any of the 31, are expected to have a significant effect on him and off the field.
Despite all communication about Bale’s love of golf and lost matches at Real Madrid, he won four Champions League titles and scored more than a hundred goals. He returns to the Spurs as a different player than he left, but feeling he has a point. If Bale shows something like his best, he can make a genuine difference on the court for the Spurs this season.
Morgan joined after resuming the game in August, following the birth of his daughter Charlie in May, one of football’s most important names, with a dazzling resume that includes 107 goals for his country, an Olympic gold medal and two women’s. World Cup names: Although the Spurs are not expected to be champions after winning promotion to the Women’s Super League last season, Morgan’s presence will make the team massive.
If Bale and Morgan can shine on the field this season, their dying star will grow. And that can be a smart thing for Tottenham Hotspur.
