Bring In Ronaldinho, Rans Cilegon FC Disburse IDR 8.6 Billion Funds? More Expensive Than Marc Klok's Paid At Persib Bandung

JAKARTA - Indonesian League 1 promotion club, Rans Cilegon FC made a surprise by bringing Barcelona legend Ronaldinho to Indonesia. Unmitigated in order to present the legend, the club from Banten is estimated to have spent billions of rupiahs.

Ronaldinho's presence in Indonesia was later discovered not to graze and defend Rans Cilegon FC in Liga 1 next season. The Brazilian footballer was brought in to enliven the charity match held by The Prestige Phoenix with Persija Jakarta, Arema FC, and Persis Solo.

Even though they only came to enliven the trophy, the budget that had to be spent was quite astonishing. Reporting from the Times of India, to be able to invite Ronaldinho in a friendly match, the organizers must prepare funds of IDR 8.6 billion.

This refers to the invitation agenda that Ronaldinho had attended in Pakistan in 2017. According to the same report, this value is also the highest among other legendary players who were brought in Pakistan at that time.

Moreover, at that time Ronaldinho was also without a club after the last time he played as a player with the Brazilian club Fluminense in 2015.

However, if you refer to Ronaldinho's current condition, the amount of funds spent by Rans Cilegon FC should be cheaper. Because the legend has retired since 2018.

Apart from the estimated price paid by Rans Cilegon FC, Ronaldinho's official price is quite high. In fact, when compared to the most expensive player in Liga 1 this season, Marc Klok, the value to bring in Ronaldinho is higher. Persib Bandung reportedly paid IDR 7 billion for the naturalized Dutch player in the 2021 season.
