We had no financial impact from retaining the players and bringing in Lucas and James
Sao Paulo will pocket around 17 million dollars for this title, which gives access to the Copa Libertadores and is a great relief for the coffers. In a dialogue with balloonsport, Carlos Belmonte, sports director, revealed that this is not even the cost center to which the 2 million dollars that, they say, the left-hander earns, are charged.
“We had no financial impact from retaining the players and bringing in Lucas and James. Because? Because of the crowd. The average attendance and collection that we had during this period was maintained to the point that we saw that it was possible to endure. We don’t want to negotiate with anyone now, we are going to hold back“said the manager this Monday.
It means that James’ costs are paid by the box office, for all those who want to go see him on the Brazilian courts, the ones where he became a world figure in 2014.
In this way, the club rules out having to sell players to alleviate the economic burden, the objective is to celebrate titles, even with the Colombian without even leaving the bench because all the money is guaranteed.
