"We will introduce better players to fill the vacancy left by Su Dong."
Russell's words exploded on the spot.
Although all the media had received some news early, they were still extremely shocked.
Su Dong actually paid the termination fee and redeemed himself for free. So how much did he pay?
When faced with questions from the media, Russell solemnly stated that this involved confidentiality and would not be announced to the public.
For a time, the media had different opinions.
World Sports News stated that Su Dong paid a termination fee of 150 million euros, and a large part of this money came from a mysterious consortium in China, and part of it came from Su Dong's own pocket.
But soon, AS reported a piece of news that Su Dong’s termination fee was not as high as World Sports reported. In fact, after 100 million euros, Barcelona waived most of the termination fee, provided that Su Dong must

Marca also revealed that the specific contract termination amount is between 80 million euros and 100 million euros, and no accurate figure has been obtained.
However, Daily Sports assuredly stated that Sudong’s termination fee exceeded 100 million euros.
There are a lot of discussions from the outside world, but the whole world knows the specific termination amount.

"He is very happy playing here. He originally hoped to play here for a longer time or even retire, because he has a group of very good teammates here and they work together very happily. But unfortunately, some off-field factors forced
He had to leave."
When a media reporter asked which team paid Su Dong's termination fee, Mendes smiled and shook his head and said that no team paid Su Dong's termination fee.
"Su Dong paid for this money out of his own pocket!"
The media was once again shocked.
We know that Su Dong is the most profitable star in world football, but we never knew that his ability to attract money is so terrifying that he paid a termination fee of over 100 million out of his own pocket?
This is simply unbelievable!
Especially as the media dug deeper and discovered that Su Dong didn’t even sell his villa in the western suburbs of Barcelona, how rich would he be?

Especially the recent rounds of downturn have made people very worried. Can Ronaldinho take up the burden left by Su Dong after leaving the team?
