When Gao Xiaodong was vacationing in his hometown of China, the European transfer market was still in full swing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the economic crisis of '08, the world economy as a whole has not yet recovered, and it stands to reason that there is no room for a significant increase in the volume of "luxury transactions" such as the buying and selling of players. However, due to the fact that Real Madrid President Florentino forcibly provoked an arms race, it completely stirred up the European market.

Driven by different dynamics, the European transfer market has been in turmoil, and from day one it has been a blast, with people waving checkbooks every day and names familiar to fans flying over the continent every day.

The first high point in the European transfer market was Real Madrid's 65 million euro purchase of Kaka in early June, which made Florentino even more ambitious, and Kaka's annual salary of 9 million euros after tax also made other superstars excited.

On June 27, Real Madrid set off a bigger climax, and Ronaldo officially joined. The transfer fee is a record 94 million euros, which is the first value in the world, and the annual salary of 13 million euros after tax, which is the first annual salary in the world.

After Ronaldo's transfer was completed, Sir Alex Ferguson, who had a lot of money in his hands, once again offered Porto 45 million to buy Gao Xiaodong.

Although Manchester United's offer cannot be compared with Manchester City, it is not far away, and the gap of 500 euros from the 50 million euro liquidated damages is completely a reminder to Porto that Manchester United can add 500 euros at any time, bypass Porto, and negotiate directly with the player.

Secretly, Manchester United also offered Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of 3.5 million euros after tax for the first time.

Although this annual salary cannot be compared with Ronaldo and Kaka, it is more than four times higher than Gao Xiaodong's original annual salary in Porto.

Inter Milan President Moratti flinched when he saw Manchester United's crazy 45 million euros, he felt that it was too risky to buy a new star like Gao Xiaodong with 45 million euros, he called Mourinho directly, saying that he could not increase the price anymore, and maintained the original offer of 30 million euros plus Quaresma.

But Mourinho said angrily that if he doesn't increase the price, Gao Xiaodong will be Manchester United's person, at this time, Inter Milan must not back down, no matter what, he must fight with Manchester United, he guarantees with the position of handsome, Gao Xiaodong is definitely worth the money.

Moratti did not back down this time, he said with a gloomy face that he could agree to Mourinho and Manchester United to fight a price war, but if Gao Xiaodong is as good as Quaresma, he will take back Mourinho's transfer power later, and Moratti also said that if he buys Gao Xiaodong at such a high price, he will sell the core of the team, Ibrahimovic.

It is difficult for ordinary coaches to accept such conditions, but Mourinho is not an ordinary coach, and he also understands that whether Gao Xiaodong comes or not, Ibrahimovic may have to leave, so he readily agreed to Moratti's conditions.

Then Inter Milan announced two blockbuster news, one is that Inter Milan accepted Barcelona's offer of 46 million euros plus Eto'o and agreed to Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona. The second is to directly quote Gao Xiaodong with the highest transfer fee of 50 million euros in Inter Milan's history.

Privately, Mourinho also made an offer of 4 million euros for Gao Xiaodong's annual salary through Mendes, which is 500,000 euros higher than Inter Milan captain Zanetti.

This is Gao Xiaodong's liquidated damages, after the quotation reaches this number, Inter Milan can ignore Porto's opinions and contact Gao Xiaodong directly, as long as Gao Xiaodong nods, Inter Milan can directly bring Gao Xiaodong to Milan City.

Manchester United's private agreement with Gao Xiaodong is that under the same conditions, Gao Xiaodong agreed to join Manchester United, and now Inter Milan's bid is higher than Manchester United, so Gao Xiaodong's transfer to Inter Milan is not a breach of trust.

Of course, Manchester City's bid was higher and the annual salary offered was higher, but Gao Xiaodong did not agree to Manchester City, whose comprehensive conditions were too poor.

Ferguson made a lot of efforts to grab Gao Xiaodong, and he didn't want to be snatched away at this time, so he decisively raised Gao Xiaodong's transfer fee to 50 million euros, and his annual salary was also increased to 4 million euros.

The premium overflowed to this point, and no one was competing with Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Manchester City anymore, and AC Milan, who originally wanted to muddy the water and raise the price for the next door, felt that Moratti was crazy, and was so scared that he didn't even dare to report the price, so he retreated directly in disgrace.

The transfer fees given by Manchester United and Inter Milan have reached 50 million euros, and Gao Xiaodong's transfer has nothing to do with Porto.

Now Inter Milan and Manchester United offer Gao Xiaodong the same annual salary, according to the agreement reached privately between Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson, Gao Xiaodong should join Manchester United, unless Inter Milan continues to increase the price.

However, at this time, Mourinho can't continue to increase the price, and if it continues, Inter Milan's salary structure will collapse, the current captain Zanetti only has an annual salary of 3.5 million euros, Stankovic 4 million euros, and the best fullback McCone is only 4.5 million euros, although Eto'o offered 10.5 million euros, it was Eto'o who reduced the transfer fee, and 20 million euros to buy Eto'o, which is almost like picking it up for nothing.

But Mourinho is also difficult to ride, at this time, and Moratti has also promised that if he still can't win Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho may become the laughing stock of Italian football.

Last time, Quaresma made Mourinho disgraced and couldn't raise his head in Italian football, and now he can't afford to lose in the competition with Ferguson.

At this time, Mourinho knew that if he only relied on the price to compete with Manchester United, he might only lose in the end, so he decisively found his agent Mendes, saying that he must get Gao Xiaodong, but this annual salary can not be increased anymore, so Mendes can find a way to persuade Gao Xiaodong to join Inter Milan.

Mendes has been watching the fire from the other side, because Gao Xiaodong's soaring value is beneficial to him, just Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, he got a commission of 8 million euros, if Gao Xiaodong is worth 50 million euros again, he will die of laughter.

But the presence of Mourinho is very special to Mendes, Mourinho is not only Mendes's cash cow, but also with Mourinho, Mendes's players can easily Song to Mourinho's team, which makes Mendes easy to attract many talented new stars like Gao Xiaodong.

So Mendes must keep Mourinho's golden signboard, and now Mourinho's embarrassing situation Mendes is also very clear, he doesn't want to let Mourinho's Inter Milan civil strife because Gao Xiaodong gets an extra 100,000 annual salary, although Gao Xiaodong is also a person that Mendes values very much, but Gao Xiaodong is still a potential star after all, and Ronaldo can't be compared.

Now that Ronaldo's transfer is basically over, Mendes is also relaxed, so he flew to China and personally persuaded Gao Xiaodong to transfer to Inter Milan.
