Nowadays, every move of Messi is under the attention of the media. When Riester released the news that Calderon was going to spend 45 million euros to win Messi, all the media followed suit. After all, Messi
Now he is one of the hottest stars in European football, and there are more than one club that wants to introduce him. Therefore, everyone reacted quickly, hoping to contact Riester.
But Lister doesn’t care about the comments of these media. Lister is just lighting the fire, and the rest of the matter is the media’s own business. As long as there is a piece of news, the media can brag about it for a long time. Even insider information and accurate information will appear in
Amid media speculation, what Rist wants now is to jump around among several giant clubs to get the best conditions for himself and the best conditions for Messi.
"Miguel, Enrique, congratulations."
After watching the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu and Calderon, List met with Atletico Madrid owner Miguel Hill in the evening. Of course, the current chairman of Atletico Madrid is not Hill, but Hill is still the largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid.
Next to Hill is Spanish film tycoon Enrique Ferrezo, the current chairman of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid has swept away the gloom this season. It has been leading La Liga since the beginning of the season. Now the lead is getting bigger and bigger without any reduction. Because Barcelona is deeply involved in civil strife, whether it can get a place in the Champions League next season is a question.
.Although Real Madrid wanted to be pragmatic, and Capello also focused on building Real Madrid's defense, Real Madrid still did not change the situation of strong offense and weak defense. Capello's two favorite players Emerson and Cannavaro performed very well.
Poor, Real Madrid's fragile defense has not improved at all.
The last time Atletico Madrid led the La Liga standings like this was ten years ago. Over the past ten years, Atletico Madrid's performance has been deteriorating, and it has even been relegated. Of course, the two of them are very happy to be able to return to the top of the standings.
Happy.
"Haha. There are still many shortcomings."
Little Hill and Ferrezzo are good friends, and they are also business partners. Therefore, it was Ferrezzo who spoke first this time, and Little Hill was not dissatisfied.
"It's already done well."
"No, Riester. My father has always hoped that our Atletico Madrid can become a competitor to Real Madrid. The current results have just begun. You also saw today's game. The Setalidis whom we introduced with a lot of money in the summer could not keep up with the game at all.
Tempo. Coach Bianchi has told us that Setaridis is not in his future plans."
Riester smiled slightly and nodded. He had to admire the two people in front of him. Both of them are rich people in Madrid. Their net worth is not too shabby. But compared with the real top rich people, they are still far behind.
Because the broadcast fees of La Liga are basically divided between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid's current performance is good, but there is not much TV broadcast fees at all. In addition, Atletico Madrid's commercial development is also average. The club loses money every year. And the intensity of the loss is
It’s huge. If you just look at the books, it should be bankrupt.
But Hill and Ferrezzo continue to invest and buy good players. In the past few seasons, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid has spent more money in La Liga. Just like Setaridis last summer
Six million euros were spent on him when he was introduced, but now he seems to be in average condition. So we have to abandon him directly.
"You want a new right-back? Who?"
Lister thought silently in his heart. Regarding the right back, Lister really has a few people, but he doesn't know who Hill and Ferrezzo are interested in. Now that they have found themselves, Lister believes that Hiller wants to
Go through your own.
"Alves of Extremadura Club."
"Daniel Alves?"
"yes."
Lister couldn't help but look at Hill and Ferrezzo. These two people's appetites are getting bigger and bigger now. If they want some high-quality and cheap right backs, Lister will have players to introduce them to them. Even so.
Even if he is not a player under Riester, Riester can help them find an excellent right back. But looking at their appetite, they directly want Alves.
After Alves arrived at the Extremadura Club, he has become a core of Extremadura in the past few years. As a right back, he has become the engine of the team, and Alves' ability can be seen.
One thing. For the current La Liga, Alves is the best right back. In every season's selection, Alves is the best right back in La Liga.
Real Madrid's Ramos is young and impulsive, Barcelona's Belletti is not strong enough, Valencia's Miguel is strong offensively and weak defensively, and Atletico Madrid's Setaridis is in poor condition. No one can compare with you Alves. Now.
There are not just one or two strong European teams that want Alves, and even many giants are paying attention to Alves. Among these clubs, Atletico Madrid is the least conspicuous one.
"Miguel, it's not that I don't help. Daniel is not my player, you should know this. More importantly, Daniel's current market price is very high. The transfer fee will definitely not be low. Are you sure Atletico Madrid can afford it?"
There are scarce positions at every stage of football development. In the 1990s, the most important players were midfielders, so midfielders and forwards were the most valuable at that time. For midfielders and defenders, the transfer fees were relatively low, and their salaries were also high.
It is also far inferior to offensive players. The most typical example is Makelele, who is the absolute main player of Real Madrid and his salary is a quarter of that of other superstars.
In fact, Makelele's situation was very common at the time, because that's what the world football world thought at the time. Isn't it a joke that you, a guy who does dirty work, want to make the same money as someone who does art? It's just Mark
Lailai's incident is too typical, so everyone knows about it.
With the rise of Chelsea and Makelele's fame, everyone slowly realized the value of the midfielder. Moreover, with the development of modern football, the classical midfielder has slowly withdrawn from the mainstream stage. Under this change
, the transfer fees for defensive midfielders have begun to increase significantly. If you want to buy a powerful defensive midfielder, it is a no-brainer if you don’t have more than 20 million in today’s football.
And along with the scarcity are full-backs. For example, Ashley Cole defected to Arsenal and joined Chelsea. It was against this background that the shortage of full-backs also greatly increased the value of full-backs.
Riester also knows that after this period of time, world football will be short of good center backs. At that time, the price of center backs will be comparable to those of forward players. This is the so-called rare thing.
Although Alves is not from a strong team, because of his outstanding performance, he dare not raise the price if it is less than 20 million euros. At present, if you want Alves, you have to pay at least 20 million euros, and if
It is not impossible to sell for 25 to 6 million euros, or even 30 million euros. Does Atletico Madrid have that much money now?
Last summer Atletico Madrid bought Rosicky and Sergio Aguero, both of which broke their historical transfer fee records. Atletico Madrid spent about 60 million euros last summer. Do they dare to invest like this this summer?
"Rister, we at Atletico Madrid are never short of money."
Hill said confidently. Riester did not answer directly, but he was amused in his heart. Who doesn't know that La Liga clubs are now operating in debt. Basically no club can make a profit.
Among them, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both big debtors. However, they have strong backgrounds and are not afraid of debts, and as member clubs, they have to spend money constantly. Atletico Madrid, Valencia, and Deportivo are all big debtors, and among them, La Coruna
The situation in Coruña is the worst. Because A Coruña itself is a small place, the annual income is very little. There are no wealthy people behind them to support them.
Atletico Madrid and Valencia also owe a lot of debt. But behind Valencia is the Roig family. Behind Atletico Madrid is the support of the Hill family and the movie tycoon Ferrezzo. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid and Valencia would have gone bankrupt.
. But even if there is support from the boss, their boss does not have unlimited power to support the club.
In fact, their net worth is not as good as that of Lister. It is not that easy to spend tens of millions of euros in real money. But Lister thought about it and didn't care that they took the money like this. How they raise money has nothing to do with Lister.
relation.
"If you really want to introduce Daniel Alves, I can help you. Under the same conditions, I can give them priority to choose Atletico Madrid."
Rist is still sure of this. Alves' agent can be where he is today, and Rist has helped him a lot. Not to mention the Extremadura club, which is known as Rist.
Satellite club. This matter is not too difficult for List. As long as Atletico Madrid's money is not worse than other clubs, it is possible for Alves to choose Atletico List. Even if the conditions are slightly better
Unlike other clubs, Leicester can also help facilitate this transfer.
"Thank you then, Lister."
Thank you? Actually, thank you is not necessary for Lister. Because if Alves really transfers to Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid will need to pay Lister. How can you just call Lister and then not pay?
The truth about money.
"Rister, I came to you today for one thing."
"speak!"
"Fernando's contract is about to expire. We should talk about renewing it."
When he heard that it was Torres, Lister immediately sat down. Among Lister's players, Torres is definitely a cornucopia of numbers. Lister knew him when he was sixteen, and it has been seven years now. And this is just Torres.
In the early stages of his career, Torres has not yet reached his peak, but he has already brought Liester tens of millions of euros in income.
I don’t know how much money Rist has earned from Torres over the years. Because of Torres, Rist’s real money from Atletico Madrid alone exceeded 10 million euros.
Just like players' salary sharing, before the Bosman Act, agents were vassals of players. Therefore, clubs were only responsible for paying salaries to players, and players then gave 5% of their salaries to their agents.
Agents at that time had the lowest status, not as good as the club, not as good as the players.
There are even some agents who have just helped players negotiate a good salary, but it doesn't take long for the players to kick the agent out. The agent did not get his share of the hard-working negotiation results.
Therefore, there are many lawsuits between agents and players, all because players are not happy to pay their agents.
But after the Boseman Act, the strength of agents has greatly increased, which has changed this way of playing. Players no longer give their agents a share at the end of each season, which is so embarrassing. Nowadays, players who are slightly stronger are all
This part of the salary share is passed on to the club. After the club signs a contract with the player, the club directly transfers the share of the contract amount to the agent.
Just like the five-year contract signed between Torres and Atletico Madrid four years ago with a total value of 27 million euros, Riester's salary share is not calculated annually. Instead, within six months after signing the contract, Atletico Madrid paid Riester
Special directly allocated a salary share of 1.35 million euros. And if Torres negotiates another contract during this period, Riester will also withdraw his own salary share from the new contract.
Therefore, it can be said that today’s clubs are struggling more than they did back then. Don’t just look at the transfer fee, in fact, the transfer fee is just the beginning. For example, Atletico Madrid spent 26 million euros in transfer fees to buy Rosicky, but this is just
It's just the first payment. Then Atletico Madrid will pay Riester a commission and Rosicky a signing bonus, which can exceed 30 million euros. Add in Rosicky's four-year contract amount, and that's 20 million euros.
Contract. After signing the contract, the club will also give Lister a share of the contract amount based on the value of the contract. And this is not over yet. If there are other additional clauses in the contract, then you will need to continue to pay in the future. Of course
If you want to retain Rosicky in two or three years, you still need to pay a commission to List and give Rosicky a signing bonus.
Not to mention what happened later, just for Rosicky alone, if Rosicky fulfills this contract, Atletico Madrid will have to pay at least 50 million euros. This is the minimum. In fact, in this process, Atletico Madrid spent a lot of money because of Rosicky.
You can only have more money, not less.
In addition to salary sharing, Torres has been able to get a lot of commission every time he signs with Riester since he was very young. Torres has signed three contracts so far, and the commission alone has exceeded 6 million euros. Plus
Torres has a loyalty bonus, and Riester will receive 1 million euros for each year of the five-year contract. Now that it is almost four years old, Riester has also received 4 million euros.
Moreover, Torres's commercial value is very high. After all, he is the banner of Atletico Madrid. Many people think that he is another golden boy in Spain after Raul. It is precisely because he brings high profits to List that Lister becomes more
cautious.
"Renew the contract? We should talk about renewing the contract."
List nodded. After the end of this season, Torres will have one year left on his contract. And the important thing is that Torres's performance is getting better and better, but the contract time is getting shorter and shorter. Atletico Madrid is completely passive, Reese
Special has complete initiative. Lister looked at Hill and said: "Miguel, Fernando will not be 23 years old in another month, but his performance this season is already at the superstar level. I think Henry's salary can
refer to."
Hill and Ferrezzo exchanged views with their eyes, and then both of them had solemn expressions. Torres is the golden boy of Atletico Madrid, the flag of Atletico Madrid, and the king of Atletico Madrid this season. The two of them really want to keep Torres.
Now listening to what Lister meant, they realized that Lister really had a huge appetite.
What is Henry's salary? It is eight million euros per year after tax. Henry enjoys the Beckham Act, so their club only needs to spend about 10 million euros a year to support Henry. But Torres does not enjoy the Beckham Act. If
The annual salary after tax is 8 million euros, and Atletico Madrid will have to pay more than 15 million euros every year. This is not a small amount.
After all, Atletico Madrid is not Real Madrid. Real Madrid can spend 20 million euros a year to support a superstar, or even several superstars. But if Atletico Madrid wants to spend 15 million euros a year to support a superstar, then
It's not that easy. But Hill doesn't want Torres to transfer, so he needs to carefully consider the gains and losses in all aspects.
"Liester, I think we can talk slowly."
"Okay. I also need to talk to Fernando. Maybe he has bigger ambitions." (To be continued...)
