Chapter 155: Renewal Issues

Torino Sport is not wrong that Adriano and Inter Milan's contract renewal negotiations are not going well.

Adriano is currently under contract with Inter Milan until 2011, with three and a half years remaining. For a team's core players, a contract of more than three years is already dangerous, so this is why Inter Milan is also eager to renew Adriano's contract.

In fact, after the end of the 2005/2006 season, the two sides completed a contract extension, extending the contract period from 2010 to 2011, and Adriano's annual salary increased from 4 million euros to 5 million euros, which is already one of the top salaries in Serie A.

However, now Adriano's agent Rinaldi believes that the annual salary of five million euros can no longer match Adriano's current strength and status, and he put forward a request for a significant increase in salary when he negotiated a contract renewal with Inter Milan.

Rinaldi's request for a salary extension is 9.5 million euros and is increasing year by year.

If this salary demand is realized, Adriano will receive the highest salary in Serie A, which is also the highest salary in world football today.

The salary request was unacceptable to the club's hierarchy, and the two sides negotiated several times on the issue of salary renewal, but could not reach a consensus.

Inter Milan is only willing to raise Adriano's salary to a maximum of 7 million euros, in fact, even 7 million euros will be the current top salary in Serie A, and this salary package can also be ranked in the top five in world football.

However, Rinaldi could not accept a salary of 7 million euros, and he insisted on an annual salary of at least 9 million euros, and it would increase every year in the future.

***********

Rinaldi dared to ask for an annual salary of 9 million euros and increased year by year, and he was confident.

Mainly because next door, AC Milan is also negotiating with their star Kaka to renew his contract, according to the news revealed by the media, the renewal negotiations between the two sides are nearing the end, AC Milan will raise Kaka's salary significantly, according to "Milan Sports Newspaper" This salary package is based on Kaka's 2007 European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year, and in the current situation, Kaka is in an absolute lead in the competition for the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, and there is almost no suspense that he will be elected as the double Footballer of the Year.

The media broke the news that AC Milan will provide Kaka with an annual salary of 9 million euros, and in Kaka's new contract period of 5 years, the annual salary will continue to increase, 9 million euros, which is only the first year, and the lowest annual salary in the 5 years, the second year, Kaka's annual salary will be increased to 10 million euros, and the third year is 11 million euros...... And so on, in 2013, the last year of the contract, Kaka's contract will reach 13 million euros!

According to the latest exchange rate, 13 million is equivalent to about $20 million, which is equivalent to a large contract in the NBA, for example, Garnett and O'Neal earned $20 million a year in 2005, and McGrady, the highest-paid player on the Rockets, has a contract of $19.01 million this year.

The total value of Kaka's 5-year contract is 55 million euros, but according to the Italian tax system, AC Milan will need to pay a total of 110 million over 5 years to open this contract to Kaka, together with paying taxes!

After the data of Kaka's contract renewal salary circulated, it can be said that it has caused an uproar in the agent circle, even if the salary package of 9 million euros will make Kaka the first year of football today. Everyone was also shocked by Kaka's salary increase.

You know, in the summer of 2003, Kaka transferred from Sao Paulo to AC Milan, and the 21-year-old Brazilian had an annual salary of 1.3 million euros. In September 2004, Kaka extended his contract with AC Milan until 2009 with an annual salary of 2.3 million euros. In September 2005, the two sides reached an agreement again, and Kaka's contract was extended until 2010, and the media estimated that the Brazilian's annual salary had risen to around 4 million euros.

The summer of 2006 was a very special season for Kaka, as Milan renewed his contract for the third time in three years in June 2006, and the Brazilian's annual salary soared to €6 million from €2.3 million three years earlier.

Even the annual salary of 6 million euros makes Kaka the top salary in Serie A, followed by Ibrahimovic at 5.5 million euros and Adriano at 5 million euros.

Now, the news that Kaka is going to raise his salary to 9 million euros has clearly stimulated many top Serie A stars, including Adriano, and their agents.

This is also the reason why Adriano's agent, Rinaldi, dared to ask for a salary of at least 9 million euros that increases annually every year.

He believes that Adriano's importance at Inter Milan is not weaker than Kaka's to AC Milan, so it is reasonable to ask for the same treatment as Kaka.

Not only that, Kaka's new contract can be said to have stimulated many top stars in Serie A, and the Swedish star Ibrahimovic, who also plays for AC Milan, has also asked for a salary increase through his agent, and the Swede is also asking for a salary package that is on par with Kaka.

***********

Leon is very unhappy with AC Milan's 'disrupting' behavior in the market, because it will cause a series of reactions, if Adriano is on par with Kaka, gets the maximum salary, and the salary is greatly increased, then should Mata have a big salary increase, what about Carlos?

It's a cascade of questions that can cause a ripple effect.

And this is also the reason why the top management of the Inter Milan club is hesitating and considering.

Of course, Leon also admires Kaka, Kaka's pursuit of high salaries, for the players themselves, this is indisputable, but this is obviously not a simple problem, it will cause a chain reaction.

The issue of the renewal of the player's contract is mainly negotiated by the club's senior management, and Li Ang does not need to worry about it, and Li Ang does not want to interfere too much, involving money issues, even as a head coach, it is not easy to say anything, after all, it is human nature to chase higher interests.

However, Li Ang also put forward his own requirements to the club, to ensure the stability of the dressing room, and not to cause chaos in the dressing room because of the renewal issue.

In the tenth round of Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Genoa 4-1 at home.

Adriano scored twice, Sergio Aguero scored and substitute Balotelli also scored his second goal in Serie A.

After the match against Napoli, Balotelli won the reward of staying in the first team with his outstanding performance in this game, especially when Diego Milito was injured and Cassano was not yet injured, Balotelli was already known as Inter's third striker.
