ROBIN VAN PERSIE SAYS THSE THREE FOOTBALLERS SHOULD BE FINAL THRE FORBALLOON d "OR>

Robin Van Persie the former Arsenal and Manchester United striker  has come  out and boldly  said  that this years final last three list of the Balloon d 'OR should be  Robert Lewandowski, Kevin De Bruyne and  Sadio Mane.
 He has clearly snubbed  Cristiano Ronaldo   a well as Lionel Messi..
 But the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has really done well in Germany with Bayern Munich , he has won many a trophy and has scored the most goals in Europe this year.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY LIONEL MESSI CANT JOIN JUVENTUS.

 A few days ago  there was a report in the press that Lionel Messi has stopped contract talks  with Barcelona.
 This  got the football world all too excited  , and one talk was interesting .
It said  that Lionel Messi could end up in Italy , playing for Juventus.
 But this is not going to happen  mainly the reason being the week wages are far to much. And Juvenus  can not afford to pay this  high weekly wages.
 For example Aaron Ramsey is on 400,000 four hundred thousand pounds a week, Cristiano Ronaldo  is n 500,000  five hundred thousand pounds. And Gianluigi Buffon , Leonardo Bonucci  and Georgios Chillini   are getting over 200,000 two hundred thousand pounds as weekly salary.
 And to make matters worse  Mr Andres Agnelli  the owner of Juventus and also the FIAT car company  is paying  half of Cristiano Ronaldo's weekly salary , which works out to 250,00  two hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
