$1.25 million per goal

So I was reading something on Forbes about the amount of money Cristiano Ronaldo is costing Real Madrid in terms of his contract and transfer fee.

His transfer fee was $130,000,000. He signed a contract for 6 years at $15.5 million for his first year and possibly a 25% increase for every year of his deal.

He could ultimately cost Real Madrid $304,000,000. If he kept up his scoring from Manchester United it would cost about $1.25 million for every goal that he was involved in (scoring or assisting).

It also talks about David Beckham being paid a $50,000,000 transfer fee that ended up netting $100,000,000 in jersey sales in 6 months.
