Hidalgo nodded, even a little happy. Then he asked doubtfully: "Rister, are Chinese football clubs really so rich?"
Hidalgo couldn't be unhappy. Now Inter Milan suddenly wants to cut their salaries, not to mention veterans like Samuel. They even treat Inter Milan's Champions League champions Sneijder, Robben and Eto'o like this.
For example, Sneijder's salary is relatively high. Currently, Sneijder's salary is 6 million euros after tax, which is given by Inter Milan to reward his performance in the Champions League. Including Robben, it is also 6 million euros after tax, Eto'o
It was 8 million euros after tax. However, after half a season, Inter Milan felt that they could not afford such a high salary. In addition, Sneijder had many injuries this season, and Inter Milan felt that it was even more uneconomical.
Therefore, Inter Milan even started negotiating with Sneijder, hoping to renegotiate the contract. Inter Milan now hopes that Sneijder can accept the original salary of four million euros after tax, which of course makes Sneijder dissatisfied. Renewing the contract is more
If it takes a long time, we can negotiate a salary cut.
It's even worse for Samuel. Originally, as a defender, he could only get a salary of 4.5 million euros, which was an annual salary before tax. After tax, he could get more than 2 million euros. Plus bonuses
, he can get about 3 million euros a year from Inter Milan. But with the new contract extension terms, Inter Milan is only willing to give Samuel a two-year contract, and the annual salary is only 2.3 million euros. High amount
The bonus is gone and has become a very ordinary bonus.
In this way, Samuel will be able to get 1.5 million euros per year in Inter Milan and be very prosperous. What is even more helpless is that Samuel is not Kaká. Even if Kaká has no salary,
Commercial income alone can exceed the income of most European football stars. But Samuel is an Argentinian, a veteran, and a defender. Commercial income is basically zero. He earns two hundred in a year.
Tens of thousands of euros are no longer guaranteed.
But Samuel's salary is too high. If he wants to maintain his original salary, it will be difficult to find a new employer. Hidalgo and Inter Milan have already had many rounds of negotiations. They just hope to give Samuel four million before tax.
An annual salary of Euros is enough, but even if it doesn’t reach 3.5 million Euros, it’s still acceptable. But Inter Milan won’t let up at all. It’s just 2.3 million Euros.
Not only Samuel, but also Cesar, Lucio, Maicon and others have received invitations from Inter Milan's top management to negotiate salary reductions.
"Of course. You also know the development of China's economy now. The boss behind the Guangzhou Evergrande Club has assets of six to seven billion US dollars. He is a famous real estate businessman in China. Recently, a big boss in China and the Chinese Football Association
Cooperation, this person's net worth is over tens of billions of euros. Don't underestimate these Chinese clubs. Maybe in the next ten years, all the famous European football players will choose to go to China after they turn 30."
"Yes. I have long heard that China is getting richer and richer now."
In fact, many businesses have long taken a fancy to the potential of the Chinese market. But what really made everyone realize that China's economy is rising was the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the European debt crisis in Europe.
This crisis has spread to the whole world. The biggest impact is on Europe and the United States. And just when everyone is having a headache, the development of the Asian economy, especially the East Asian economy, is not stopping at all. On the contrary, the economies of China, Japan and South Korea in East Asia are.
Development is getting more and more rapid, and their economy is really booming. Then everyone once again focuses on the three East Asian countries of China, Japan and South Korea.
"Of course. I can let you in on a little tidbit."
"What?"
Hidalgo was very interested in the gossip about List. Hidalgo poached Mascardi's resources in Europe and became the top agent in world football. He was completely a nouveau riche, so his personal connections were not
It's pretty outstanding.
Many of the stars that Hidalgo recruited back then had been tortured by Mascardi and had little ability. They soon fell into a slump. Although he made a lot of connections during that period, like List, he relied entirely on
The big agents who have been managing their own players step by step for more than ten years are completely incomparable. So don't listen to the gossips that Lister says. Nine times out of ten, they are correct. In other words, they are all well-founded.
"In China, the next generation is said to be the fans. Therefore, many wealthy bosses in China are willing to invest in football in the next ten years."
Riester gave a mysterious thumbs up.
"real?"
Hidalgo's eyes widened. Hidalgo understood what Lister meant. In fact, agents like Hidalgo, who have many star players, need to consider what happens after their players retire. Brazilian players are getting old, and they basically return to play in their country. Brazil
The recent economic recovery is not bad. Brazilian clubs can also offer good salaries.
But compared to Brazil, Argentina is worse. Argentina's economy is in mud and Argentine clubs are also poor. Now if Argentine players return to play in China at the end of their careers, their annual salary will not even be one million US dollars. Four to five million US dollars is quite good.
.Many old players are very popular in Argentina when their salary is about 100,000 US dollars. Therefore, Hidalgo also wants to open up some markets, such as the Middle East market, North American market, and even the Chinese market. He can arrange his players
At the end of your career, get a good salary.
It's a pity that he himself doesn't have many connections in European football, let alone places like the Middle East and North America. If he can really go to China to retire, it is also a very good idea. If these veterans can be arranged well, it will also build his reputation.
.It will be more and more beneficial for him to consolidate his position in Argentine football.
"Of course. And there are many clubs in China invested by state-owned enterprises. Do you know what Chinese state-owned enterprises are?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Hidalgo nodded. Although he didn't know much about the state-owned enterprises in China, he still understood the basic meaning. So Rist smiled and said: "They are all very rich and can offer very high salaries. And the Chinese market is huge.
, if you can introduce a world-class player, it is estimated that advertisers in China will line up to sign with you. The income will definitely not be low. If a player like Kaka comes to play in China, Chinese clubs will really dare to offer him
Ten million euros after tax. And the business income is definitely not lower than it is now."
"Evergrande are really willing to give Walter five million US dollars after tax? If the salary is owed by then, it will be troublesome to deal with it. This is China after all."
"You have to be at ease."
Lister said with a smile: "It is not that the clubs in China have no salary arrears. But Guangzhou Evergrande has absolutely no problem. Their boss has a lot of money. And their boss is a very decent person in China and a person with status in China."
A person with status cannot do such a thing. I guarantee you this."
There are many cases of wage arrears in Chinese football. For example, Shenzhen Football Club has very serious wage arrears. Of course, the most embarrassing thing for Chinese football is Shanghai Shenhua, Zhu Jun who likes to brag. Historically, when Drogba came to Shenhua, Zhu Jun
As for wage arrears. There was a lot of big talk when they were introduced, and in the end there was a scandal of wage arrears. However, clubs like Evergrande, Guoan, Luneng and Guangzhou R&F are still rich.
"In other words, they will still need a lot of foreign aid in the future?"
"Well. Moreover, the Chinese football world is becoming more and more demanding now. They don't look down on ordinary players. But as long as they are good players, they are not stingy with money. If it is Walter, who is thirty years old, I guess Evergrande
I’d give him six to seven million dollars after tax without batting an eyelid.”
"That's good."
Hidalgo was very happy. He no longer wanted to argue with Inter Milan. According to what Riester said, if he signs a three-year contract with a Chinese club, the contract value can reach 20 million US dollars. Why should he be angry at Inter Milan? Go to China and make a fortune as a Chinese nouveau riche
Money, isn't it easier? It's all money anyway, and it doesn't matter where you earn it. Samuel has been working in China for three years, and his income in these three years has been as much as Samuel's seven or eight years working at Inter Milan.
"Rister, will Diego get such a high salary when he goes to China in the future?"
Hidalgo thought of his player Diego Milito. Milito will soon be 32 years old, and he may need to consider retiring. If Chinese clubs are so generous, they can also consider playing in China.
"Of course. But it still depends on Diego's own ability. Chinese clubs are rich, but they will not blindly raise prices. Their contracts are usually short-term contracts, and then after the performance, there will be a real contract."
"I see."
After getting rid of Samuel, Rist was in a good mood. So he said: "Fernando, the Chinese league is different from the European league. European leagues are multi-year leagues, while the Chinese league is one season per year. It will be around March next year.
The game will start, and I suggest that Walter can sign a contract in the winter. If Walter passes, he will definitely make a sensation in Chinese football. Then I will introduce you to several Chinese businesses, and let Walter earn advertising fees. Chinese businesses will still
Very generous.”
"I think so too."
In fact, Hidalgo is not here to earn advertising fees. Hidalgo just hopes to contact Evergrande as soon as possible, and then go there early, so that he can get a high salary in advance. Five million US dollars after tax is more than what Samuel got at his peak.
The salary is even higher.
"Then you talk to Walter early. Don't forget to talk to Inter Milan as well. It's one thing for Evergrande to be willing to pay a high salary, but it's another thing to ask them to pay a high transfer fee for a veteran who only has half a year left on his contract."
"I understand what you mean. Now that Inter Milan wants to get rid of highly paid veterans as soon as possible, I believe they are embarrassed to ask for transfer fees."
