Chapter 751: The Dust Settles
After returning to Dalian, Zhang Shujie and Wang Shihan were temporarily separated, each went home to visit his parents, and after a day off and jet lag, the two visited the four elders together, and the time at this time was already June 4th.
Li Mu returned to Dalian smoothly today, this time Ye Xiaotong did not come with him, and Li Mu will go to Chongqing later. The strange thing is that Chen Zihua has not returned to China yet, and is still staying in France, Zhang Shujie asked him why he hasn't come back, and he said to wait and deal with some things.
Zhang Shujie was still thinking about what was more important than his vacation, but two days later, AC Milan's official website announced that Chen Zihua transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Milan for 70 million euros, with a five-year contract and an annual salary of 9 million euros, and a floating bonus of 3 million, of which 1.5 million was added to winning the league championship and 1.5 million was added to winning the Champions League.
In addition, Chen Zihua will own 70% of his personal portrait rights income, which is the same as Zhang Shujie. The contract also states that if he helps Milan win the league and Champions League next season, Chen Zihua will not only get an additional 3 million bonuses, but his basic salary will also increase from 900 to 12 million!
This rule is a new rule set by Li Yonghong in order to motivate the Milan soldiers, after getting the double championship, not only Chen Zihua can get a raise, Zhang Shujie, Yan Tao, and other players will have a raise, but everyone has a different increase, Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua are the same, they are 3 million, Yan Tao is 2 million, Montolivo is 1 million, and other players are not more than 1 million.
If a player performs exceptionally, the club can also sign other agreements with the players if they are outside the scope of the contract. It can be seen that Brother Li is indeed much more arrogant after taking the helm of the Rossoneri.
Chen Zihua is the second highest salary in AC Milan, ahead of him is Zhang Shujie's 16 million (+3 million), behind him is Yan Tao's 5 million (+2 million), and the rest of the team are below 4 million. Some people are worried that this huge gap in salary will cause some contradictions in the AC Milan dressing room, but Li Yonghong summed it up in one sentence: "If any midfielder can have the ability of Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua, I will still give him an annual salary of 10 million!"
Brother Li is not just talking about it, just take Chen Zihua as an example, he can only help the team win the championship, 9 million salary becomes 12 million, and there are 3 million additional bonuses, isn't it beautiful?
Last season's Zhang Shujie scored 36 goals in 33 games, tied with Higuain as the top scorer in Serie A, but Higuain took two more games than Zhang Shujie, if Zhang Shujie was not injured in the next five games and could not play, breaking through 40 goals would not be a problem, and it was even possible to snatch Juventus' league title, so Zhang Shujie definitely deserved the high salary of 16 million euros.
Chen Zihua went to AC Milan to participate in the physical examination, and two days later, after passing the physical examination, he officially announced that he had joined AC Milan, and then he went to the San Siro Stadium, where tens of thousands of fans came, and Chen Zihua interacted closely with them.
Although Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao were not at the scene, they also expressed Chen Zihua's congratulations. Chen Zihua also said in front of Milan fans at the San Siro Stadium that he came to AC Milan to help the team win the championship.
Li Yong said: "Chen Zihua is a very good midfielder, in fact, as early as last season, we wanted to bring him in, but for various reasons, we have not allowed him to come here until now. ”
Inzaghi said: "It's fantastic, we brought Chen Zihua to Milan, he is a fantastic player, and AC Milan are missing a midfielder like that. Luckily, he has filled the void. ”
In the 2015/2016 season, Chen Zihua made 30 league appearances for Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 13 goals and providing 14 assists. He made eight appearances in the Champions League, scoring three goals and providing three assists, and was involved in almost every attack in Paris, a statistic that can only be delivered by a top-class midfielder. In the current era of rising prices, AC Milan is not a loss to pay a transfer fee of 70 million euros for Chen Zihua.
Chen Zihua will wear AC Milan's No.10 shirt. Interestingly, Chen Zihua wanted to ask Inzaghi for the No. 8 jersey, but the No. 8 jersey was already worn on Suso's body, so Chen Zihua retreated to the second best thing and chose No. 10.
Chen Zihua's transfer did not last long, and the curtain came to an end. Manchester City are still lamenting that they did not get Chen Zihua, but the team has other plans, and Xu Ziyi has had a rift with the club's hierarchy due to the lack of agreement with Chelsea on wages. Xu Ziyi, who has an annual salary of 6 million euros, initially hoped to raise his salary to 8.5 million, but now he has made concessions and can reach 8 million euros, but Chelsea is only willing to give 7 million, not a single point, which makes Xu Ziyi very dissatisfied. Secondly, Xu Ziyi had already raised the question the previous season, and a year has passed, and the two sides have not yet negotiated.
Xu Ziyi suffered some injuries at the beginning of last season, but after he returned from injury, he scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 25 games, and it stands to reason that a midfielder can deliver such a statistic, and it is not too much to ask for an annual salary of 8 million euros, but Chelsea are not willing to give so much.
Manchester City can give, and can even give, though. It is reported that the team has planned to switch to Xu Ziyi, but the specific details have not yet been announced.
**********************
AC Milan continue to look for suitable targets in the transfer market, and with 70 million euros already invested, Li Yonghong should not be investing heavily in the next deal right away, he needs to watch. Now that AC Milan's basic attacking line has taken shape, Li wants some qualified replacements. Of course, these substitutes don't necessarily have to be found in the transfer market, and it is also possible to try to pan for gold in the reserves.
It was up to Inzaghi's discernment, who inspected the youth team for a lap and promoted the 18-year-old Locatelli to the first team. In Inzaghi's eyes, the position of this young player is a bit like Pirlo, but the style is like a combination of Pirlo and Gattuso, maybe it is too early to define him, after all, he is only 18 years old, and his style of play has not yet been completely finalized.
Such a young player needs to have a big brother to take him, and now that Chen Zihua has come to AC Milan, Inzaghi believes that with Chen Zihua's ability, he can lead this young player. The premise is that these young players themselves are also humble and eager to learn, otherwise no matter how high their talent is, they will eventually end up with a sigh from the world.
