Koulibaly 45 million euros, Kurzawa 30 million euros, Kondogbia 50 million euros, Jorginho 40 million euros, Alan 20 million euros, Pogba 60 million euros, Icardi 30 million euros
, Marquinhos 40 million euros.
…
When Gao Shen returned to Europe from China with his wife and children, his first stop was not Madrid, Spain, but flew directly to Manchester. At his home in Cheshire, he met Fernando Lucas and Borre who came after hearing the news.
you.
They all live in Cheshire, not far from Gao Shen's home.
When they handed Gao Shen and Su Qing this heavy report card, they were really shocked.
Total revenue reached 315 million euros.
Just crazy!
Not to mention people outside, even they themselves can't believe that all this is true.
How much did it cost to sell these players now?
Koulibaly, when he was signed in 2011, it only cost 700,000 euros. Now it has doubled dozens of times.
Kurzawa spent 500,000 euros that year, an increase of 60 times.
And Kondogbia, it was originally 500,000 euros, but now it has increased 100 times.
When did youth training become so profitable?
The whole European football world is crazy.
Everyone knows that Leeds United are on target!
Last year we made 100 million, and this year we made more than 300 million. This is simply outrageous!
Even Fernando Lucas and Borrell themselves were a little worried because they couldn't believe it was true.
On the contrary, it is profound and my heart is very calm.
What is this?
In his previous life, Monaco sold over 500 million in one year and three transfer periods. That was considered a great deal.
Leeds United are just making small fuss now.
However, selling people like this like crazy also caused a lot of problems.
For example, Leeds United fans are quite dissatisfied with this.
The team performed very well last season, finishing sixth in the league. Everyone is looking forward to the club going one step further, building on last season's performance, and striving to reach the top four in the league, or even win the championship.
But at this moment, the club directly sold the person. What does this mean?
Judging from the lineup, of the 11 main players, Leeds United sold only Navas, Salah, Coutinho, Jose Fonte and Trippier, and directly sold 6 main players in one go.
Let me ask, who can not worry?
"Now, the fans have great opinions, and we must appease them. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the relationship between the team and the fans." Fernando Lucas said with concern.
Gao Shen nodded and looked at Su Qing, who smiled sweetly.
"We have already planned that in the next two days, Sir Norman Foster will go north again to complete a contract with us. We plan to build a brand new football stadium, right next to Elland Road."
Lucas and Borrell were both well prepared and had even guessed Gao Shen's plan, but after hearing it, they were still surprised. When they looked at Gao Shen again, their eyes were really different.
That's 300 million euros, not 30 million, but 300 million!
Previously, Gao Shen directly invested 70 to 80 million euros in the construction of a new training base, which in itself was extremely impressive to everyone. Now it has invested another 300 million euros.
I have to say, it’s really surprising.
"We believe that this news will definitely appease the fans." Gao Shen said with confidence.
Lucas and Borrell looked at each other and nodded.
Calling on Leeds United to build a new stadium is a common voice among many fans.
The reason is also very simple, the facilities at Elland Road Stadium are really poor.
But how can it be so easy to build a new stadium?
Let alone before, even now, with these 300 million euros, it is still far from enough.
According to the transfer rules of European football, it will take three years to fully recover the 300 million euros.
And if a new stadium is planned to be built, the capacity will definitely not be small, at least 50,000 people.
Since Gao Shen plans to sign a contract with Norman Foster, he must still learn how to use a training base. The specifications of the stadium will definitely not be low, and the budget will not be small. 300 million euros is definitely not enough.
"We will have a few more years of hard times. When our new stadium is built, our training base is put into use, and we can stably gain a foothold in the Premier League, then our good days will come." Gao Shen encouraged.
"Of course, everyone is working hard, so the club cannot be stingy. The rewards that should be given cannot be less than a penny, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits brought by the development of the club."
Gao Shen and Su Qing have carefully studied it. Even if they increase the salaries of the players and employees who stay on the team, based on the current situation of Leeds United and the increase in the broadcast rights share in the new season, Leeds United can still control the salary structure well.
.
If business operations were better, salary expenses might even be reduced to 40%.
But this is also temporary.
Judging from the current situation, players' salaries will continue to rise, which is an inevitable trend.
"You can buy the bus you were interested in before. Buy two of them and use them in rotation." Gao Shen agreed.
This bus is a customized luxury bus from a world-famous brand. It integrates leisure and entertainment. It is equipped with kitchen, refrigerator, cooking table and bar, etc. The interior decoration is also quite comfortable.
But the price is also very beautiful, with each car selling for one million euros.
Leeds United's current buses are all rented. Although they are long-term rentals, they are very inconvenient to use.
Lucas and Borrell had previously suggested buying them themselves, but they would buy at least two of them because they would need to take turns using them, including having to go to away games in advance to wait for flights.
It is even necessary to purchase a few more vehicles so that they can be used by the youth team players.
Purchasing a bus will bring with it the salary expenses of the driver and attendants.
These are actually a lot of expenses, but Gao Shen decided to take action.
Of course, a bus like Leeds United cannot be purchased immediately. It must be booked in advance, the manufacturer must customize it, and delivery will take some time.
…
"I talked with Pochettino about the current team's lineup. He felt that the team currently needs to recruit players at the central defender position, so we decided to recall De Vrij," Borrell said.
Gao Shen agreed with this decision.
Stefan de Vrij was signed by Leeds United last year, but has been on loan at Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. His current value has not increased much, but his overall strength is good. At 21 years old, he is just right.
"We have discussed with Feyenoord. After De Vrij returns to Leeds United, we will loan Van Dijk out. He has performed very well in the Eredivisie and should prove himself on a higher stage."
Borrell's arrangements are still very thoughtful.
If Gao Shen remembers correctly, De Vrij will shine in the 2014 World Cup, which shows that his current strength is already very good.
Although Koulibaly and Marquinhos were sold, with De Vrij returning, plus Stones and Maguire, Leeds United's defense will not be affected too much.
The midfielder had the biggest impact, with all three main players gone.
But Pochettino wants to bring Coutinho back to play in the middle. If he can partner with him, Kante and Rabiot will be good candidates.
Brozovic also performed well in the World Youth Championship. Some teams had inquired about his price before, but Leeds United were determined to keep him and ignored him. It was natural for him to be promoted in the new season.
"We can consider two candidates. A dark horse emerged in Serie B last season."
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, Lucas and Borrell knew it.
The two said almost in unison: "Novara."
All three of them laughed.
Serie B, that's where they made their fortune.
Novara was the newly promoted team in Serie B last season, but what is unexpected is that this newly promoted team actually finished fifth in the league.
But many people have not paid attention to Serie B, especially the team Novara.
In the first 21 rounds of Serie B, that is, before the winter break, Novara ranked 16th in Serie B, only 4 points away from the relegation zone. The relegation situation is still very serious.
But at this critical moment, a young player who was only 18 years old began to be entrusted with important tasks and served as the team's main midfielder. In the subsequent 21 rounds of the league, he contributed 4 goals and 2 assists.
, becoming a veritable core midfielder of the team.
Novara's league ranking also continued to rise, eventually ranking fifth in the league and entering the promotion play-offs.
But it is a pity that Novara lost to Empoli in the play-offs and missed promotion.
As a result, this player began to become famous in Italian football and attracted the attention of many teams.
What’s even more surprising is that it turned out that a year ago, he joined Novara from the youth team of Boavista in Portugal for 40,000 euros, but after one season, his worth has soared to 3.5 million euros.
.
His name is Bruno Fernandez.
"Sign him, hurry!" Gao Shen told Borrell. "Udinese and other Serie A teams are also very interested in him. Due to the contract, his current transfer fee is about two million to two million.
Between one and a half million."
"I understand, I'll do it right away." Borrell was about to make a call on the spot.
"etc."
Gao Shen called out to Borrell.
"There is another person, you should also contact him."
Gao Shen also thought of it temporarily.
Now that you have decided to sign B fee, you can’t forget about the other person, right?
That is the famous seat B.
When the time comes to form a Portuguese double... combination, okay, let's not talk about it anymore.
"There is a young winger named Bernardo Silva in Benfica's youth team. Contact him and sign him. He has not played in the first team yet and his worth should not be high. I think he is more valuable.
The right position is still in the middle of the midfield."
Both Lucas and Borrell are used to the advanced style, and from time to time one or two young players will appear that make people completely confused.
Although it was confusing and even worrying at the beginning, after a period of time, ranging from two to three years to a few months, if you look at these players, you will find that Gao Shen's vision is really accurate.
It's almost like a prophet who predicts the future.
"Okay, I'll contact Benfica right away."
Borrell went out to make a phone call.
Gao Shen was sitting on the sofa, carefully considering Leeds United's lineup for the new season.
From the current point of view, relegation should be no problem, but what kind of results can be achieved depends on Pochettino's integration ability.
Of course, Gao Shen will not put too much pressure on him.
Just kidding, we just sold over 300 million yuan this summer, and it’s so hard to turn around and ask for results. Isn’t this forcing others to do something difficult?
