29,5 million euro =
47 million us dollar
23,5 million british pound
6 million euro =
9,6 million us dollar
4,8 million british pound
In fact that sounds more like 32,5 million euro plus 3 variables cause classification for the Champions League is almost sure.

Well I'm going to wait until I see the pics of Alves shaking hands with Laporta at the signing, and standing next to that sweet ass logo before I put my Alves jersey order in. Does this mean Marquez has to give up the #4 jersey?
