Chapter 838: Termination Money
In the 21st century, with the popularization of the Internet, especially the development of mobile Internet, professional football has also undergone earth-shaking changes, such as more and more fans have begun to use mobile phones to watch live matches, which was unimaginable before.
In the Premier League, the sale of rights on other platforms such as mobile is also developing rapidly.
As a new human being, Gao Han is the most optimistic about the mobile Internet, so he has vigorously promoted Chinatown from the beginning to make efforts in this regard, Chinatown has its own official website since it was established, and later entered the blog, and now the club's official Twitter is updated and maintained by a special person, and the attention is top-notch in the sports industry.
Last year, China's Weibo began to rise, Chinatown followed the market trend, and the club's branch in China officially settled in Weibo, now has a large number of fans, and pays great attention to management, the club previously announced the transfer of Mkhitaryan, Weibo is one of the first official announcement platforms.
Not only the operation and marketing of the club, but also the establishment of the scouting system, Gao Han is also very willing to invest in this aspect, and it has taken ten years to create a very complete scouting system for Chinatown, which is spread all over the world.
Because he knows very well that with the advancement of science and technology, the youth training in European football will also undergo earth-shaking changes, especially in terms of material selection, it is almost difficult to reappear the previous kind of pearl in the sea, all young players are basically around thirteen, fourteen or five years old, as long as they nod slightly, they will be targeted immediately.
If it is a little better, it will immediately make countless European clubs hear, as long as there are really talented players, there will generally be no mistakes, so the competition for youth talent is also very fierce.
From the moment Gao Han decided to characterize Chinatown's operation in the Porto and Lyon-style black shop model, Chinatown's focus was on recruiting a group of young players who were thirteen, fourteen or fifteen, or younger, but already making a name for themselves.
Bring them into the team, develop them, get into the first team, train them and sell them at a high price.
This is how Chinatown will survive for years to come.
Of course, the only difference is that Gao Han has the help of a keen eye, and the selection of talents will have an advantage over others.
Not to mention the rest, let's talk about scouts, almost every full-time scout who signs a contract with the club and is in charge of the side is selected by Gao Han himself, at least in terms of selecting players.
So every year, Chinatown's Talent Day selection will have scouts from all over the world to recommend players, and there is a steady supply.
In recent years, Spain, Germany and France have all produced talent, but German players are generally reluctant to go abroad, so Chinatown has really failed to attract German rookies in this regard.
But after ten years of development, Chinatown's youth training has gradually entered a virtuous circle, especially after Cantarero is in charge, Gao Han doesn't need to worry too much at all.
On the contrary, the first team is more troublesome.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Aldevilla Stadium has been demolished and the plot is currently being leveled, while tenders for construction works are also being launched.
As Deputy Chief Engineer Li said before, China's top construction companies are very interested in this project, and their offers are much lower than those of European construction companies, so the whole of Chinatown is also inclined to Chinese companies.
But it still needs some formalities and time.
Gao Han's sudden return to Madrid and the urgent notification of a meeting between general manager Armando Marcos and head coach Mauricio Pochettino really surprised both of them, and they also had a vague sense of foreboding.
Arriving at the training base, as soon as he entered the conference room, as soon as the door was closed, Gao Han directly spread his hands and shook his head helplessly at Pochettino.
"I'm sorry, Mauricio, Florentino called me personally and I had to give him face. β
The Argentine coach's face changed, obviously a little angry, but then he smiled helplessly.
Florentino called in person, who could not give him face?
Unless Gao Han really wants to tear his face with Florentino, he can only talk to him well, and if the chips he gives are good enough, he really can't refuse.
And for the sake of a Diego Costa, it is not worth tearing his face with Florentino.
At least, from the perspective of the chairman of Chinatown, it is not cost-effective.
"He said that he was willing to pay liquidated damages for Diego Costa, 50 million euros, and I really couldn't think of a reason to refuse him, so I just agreed. Gao Han looked apologetic, very sincere, and very frank.
The release fee of 50 million euros, Pochettino asked himself, and he couldn't refuse.
What's more, now everyone knows that Chinatown is very short of money for a new stadium.
"I don't quite understand why he suddenly wants Diego Costa, and he hasn't been rumored to want Dzeko before?" Pochettino was a little angry, not for Gao Han, but for Real Madrid.
In the face of this kind of poaching with deep pockets, anyone will be a little angry.
"Indeed, I asked him and he told me that it has nothing to do with the price, the main thing is that he and Real Madrid will not accept coercion from anyone, so he would rather spend 50 million euros on Diego Costa than 60 million euros for Dzeko. β
After Gao Han finished speaking, he felt a little funny.
Florentino and Real Madrid have always prided themselves as the aristocrats of European football, high up and brought in superstar players, players like Dzeko were not favored by Real Madrid, and the Galacticos should pursue superstars such as Wayne Rooney, Drogba, Diego Milito and Adriano.
But there is no way, the superstar can't be poached, Real Madrid can only retreat to the second, but what I didn't expect is that there is a profiteer like Little Hornes, who wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, and wants to treat Real Madrid as a big boss.
For Florentino, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, but you can't let people tease them like that.
Therefore, he immediately shifted his target, preferring to buy Diego Costa by paying a termination fee rather than spending more money on Dzeko, in order to tell everyone that we are not short of money, just to fight for breath.
Whether it is 50 million to buy Diego Costa or 60 million to buy Dzeko, it should be said that the premium is very high, but in contrast, Real Madrid is more inclined to Diego Costa, not only has a smooth tone, but also has a cold aura bonus, and it is a player handpicked by Mourinho, which can be described as a great joy.
As for Florentino having to call Gao Han and seek Gao Han's consent, in the final analysis, it was because of the taxes and fees of the termination clause.
If Real Madrid wants to pay Diego Costa a termination fee, according to the process, Real Madrid will first deposit the money into Diego Costa's account, and then Diego Costa will ask Chinatown to redeem the contract and pay the termination fee in the terms of the contract.
However, there is a problem, because according to Spanish tax regulations, the use of the termination clause is subject to tax.
The Basque Country has the lowest tax rate of 29 percent, Catalonia has 56 percent, and Madrid has a division of individuals with 53 percent and the latter 57 percent.
In other words, if Real Madrid and Diego Costa activate the release clause, Real Madrid will have to pay nearly 30 million euros in taxes and fees based on the release fee of 50 million euros.
But if Chinatown is persuaded not to go through the termination fee model, but to buy Diego Costa for a transfer fee of 50 million euros in the form of a transfer fee, it will be able to avoid this heavy tax.
That's why Florentino personally called Gao Han.
Chelsea poached Falcao and Ramirez before, and also negotiated with China City through Mendes, and finally bought these two players in the form of transfer fees, rather than a real release clause.
But in any case, the offer of 50 million euros is already a super high premium for Diego Costa, even if Pochettino is reluctant, he has to admit that he will agree to change himself.
After all, with these 50 million euros, plus Mkhitaryan's 40 million euros, there are so many things that Chinatown can do.
The only trouble is that after the departure of Diego Costa, Pochettino's attacking combination that had been running in for more than a month before the season was broken up again, so how did he lead the team to play?
What's more, it's almost mid-August now, and there is not much time left for the team to prepare, where to find Diego Costa's successor?
"During this year's summer training camp, I took Alvaro Morata and JesΓ© to the training camp and they did well, but I don't think they can provoke the team's strikers, they are still too young, Aubameyang can also play in the middle, but he alone can't do it at all, selling Diego Costa is not a problem, the question is how to play in the new season?"
Pochettino can understand the club's difficulties, but as the manager of the team, he also has his own difficulties.
He has to think about the team's results.
Last season's eighth place in the league made Chinatown famous, and at the same time made Pochettino famous, so he is ambitious to go further in the new season, especially the main central defenders Otamendi and Alderweireld have announced that they will stay in the team, which gives him confidence and confidence.
Unexpectedly, there is only half a month left before the start of the league, but the main center is going to transfer and leave the team, which is ......
Also as a manager, Gao Han can definitely understand Pochettino's mood and depression at this moment.
According to the Argentine coach's pre-season plan, he will continue to use the lineup in the second half of last season, with Aubameyang and Diego Costa as the two strikers, and after the summer training camp preparation, he chose to arrange James Rodriguez as the team's forward midfield, forming a front trident combination.
There is no way to do this, and with Mkhitaryan gone, players such as Eden Hazard, James Rodriguez, Kevin De Bruyne, Roberto Firmino and Isco can play in this position, and these eighteen or nineteen-year-olds can compete for each other.
But now with the departure of Diego Costa, the most important pillar of the front court has been lost, and the attacking combination that Pochettino has practiced in the pre-match training camp has obviously been scrapped.
At the very least, there is no one in the team who can take Diego Costa's position.
Even if it's a transfer, where can you bring in a player who is exactly like Diego Costa?
"In the past, the technical department also kept an eye on a few players, including La Liga and other leagues, and there were one or two players who were very suitable for the team's style of play, but now the time is too rushed, and I am afraid that it is a bit troublesome to operate. Technical Director Cantarero sighed.
He did have a plan in place, but Diego Costa's move was too sudden.
Gao Han beckoned to Pochettino soothingly, signaling that he was not in a hurry.
"Actually, I have a very suitable person here, so why don't you listen to my thoughts. β
