Chapter 648: "Joining" Milan

A week later, AC Milan announced that 11 of China's largest conglomerates were new sponsors, with an annual sponsorship fee of at least €80 million.

The "Wind Full Brand", which has just completed its global launch, even paid tens of millions of euros in liquidated damages to AC Milan for AC Milan in order to become a jersey sponsor of AC Milan.

Although the high liquidated damages made the senior management of Biaoma a little painful, after seeing the expression of the senior management of Adi as if they had eaten, they felt that the money was really worth it.

On July 1, AC Milan made an offer of 100 million euros to Atletico Madrid.

Although Feng Quan's contract contains a release clause of 80 million euros for AC Milan FC, in order to continue the good relationship between the football school and Atletico Madrid, Feng Quan decided to make an offer of 100 million euros for himself.

Although Atletico Madrid was very reluctant to lose its style, it had no choice but to accept AC Milan's offer when it learned that the other party had become the "behind-the-scenes" owner of AC Milan and had sincerely not used specific termination clauses.

Many Atletico Madrid players who are on vacation, after learning the news that Feng Quan "transferred" to AC Milan for 100 million euros, their first reaction was whether the club's top management had broken their brains.

Although the transfer fee of 100 million euros has set a new transfer record in international football, with the performance of Fengquan, such a price is simply a "cabbage" price!

Bale, who Real Madrid brought in in 2013 for a record €91 million, has scored less goals in the league and Champions League than he has scored in the league this season.

Although the data does not fully reflect the true value of a player, at least Fengquan's value should be more than 150 million euros, right?

The vast majority of fans, even some pseudo-fans who have only heard of Feng Quan's name, are wondering if Feng Quan will agree to join AC Milan when he is drunk or drugged.

Otherwise, why did Feng Quan leave the double defending teams of La Liga and the Champions League behind, and go to play for AC Milan, which did not qualify for Europe?

Could it be that AC Milan has offered Feng Quan a sky-high salary that is difficult to refuse? But that guy's personal brand is on sale worldwide, how high does AC Milan have to pay to impress him?

It's rare to say that AC Milan offered him a million-euro weekly salary?

But even if AC Milan has a new Chinese owner, I'm afraid they can't afford the sky-high weekly salary of millions of euros, right? You must know that the personal income tax standard for Serie A players is close to 50%.

In other words, if AC Milan do pay a million euros a week for Feng Quan, then their actual expenses will be close to two million euros if the tax part is included. With such a high expenditure, even the deep-pocketed Chinese will be reluctant, right?

However, as time went on, the all-powerful European paparazzi finally unearthed the shocking story of the big boss behind AC Milan.

In this way, everyone's doubts have finally found the answer.

Although many media and especially Atletico Madrid fans think that Feng Quan's sudden departure is a bit unrighteous, Paul Fortere, the general manager of Atletico Madrid Club, who is the person concerned, has publicly expressed his understanding of Feng Quan on behalf of the club.

After all, as the owner, Feng Quan has an obligation to help do everything in his power to help AC Milan regain its former glory. At the same time, for the undisputed first person in today's football, Feng Quan naturally has to personally go into battle to help AC Milan conquer the city.

In addition, Atletico Madrid only spent 23 million euros when it first introduced Feng Quan, and although the 100 million euros transfer fee received now cannot fully compensate for the loss after Feng Quan's departure, it is no problem to use these funds to introduce several world-class stars to enhance the depth of Atletico Madrid's squad.

In fact, the main reason why Paul Fortre has shown such an open-mindedness is that AC Milan, who introduced the full wind, is a Serie A club, and Atletico Madrid has no chance to meet in European competitions without qualifying for Europe.

Although AC Milan still bears the name of a giant club, with Berlusconi drastically cutting investment, their squad configuration is even inferior to that of the teams in the middle of La Liga. But even so, Paul Fortre added a clause to Feng Quan's transfer contract that he would not be allowed to play if he met Atletico Madrid in European competitions for three years.

Feng Quan, who has already made concessions on the transfer fee, can refuse such a clause, but considering Atletico Madrid's cultivation of himself, coupled with his own football school's long-term cooperation with him, and even if he can lead AC Milan to the Champions League next season, the probability of facing Atletico Madrid directly is not very good. Therefore, he agreed to the other party's seemingly harsh request.

…………

Although AC Milan has missed the European competition for two consecutive seasons, the addition of Feng Quan has made some big-name stars in poor circumstances have the idea of "hugging their thighs".

Joining AC Milan and not being able to play in Europe? Even if AC Milan can't win the championship, at least they can win the Champions League safely, not to mention that AC Milan, who has no European mission, does not need to be distracted by multi-front battles.

However, since the 100 million euros for the introduction of Feng Quan has accounted for half of AC Milan's transfer budget, Galliani suggested that Feng Quan politely reject the overtures of those frustrated big names, and then use the remaining 100 million euros of transfer funds to pursue those more cost-effective players.

Regarding Galliani's suggestion, Feng Quan still agrees with it very much.

100 million euros may seem like a lot of transfer money, but in today's football, where the value of players is skyrocketing, even those frustrated big names can barely buy one or two at most.

Although the strength of these frustrated big names is certainly better than AC Milan's existing players in the same position, who can guarantee that they will be able to return to the top after coming to AC Milan after they were not satisfied at the original club?

Rather than risk spending a fortune on them, we should instead seek out younger players with more potential. Moreover, as long as you activate the skill of [God's Light] in some key games, you can temporarily improve AC Milan's combat effectiveness to a higher level.

Atletico Madrid, whose overall strength is not as good as the top two in the Western Super League, has achieved the great cause of "double crown" for two consecutive years under his leadership, even if AC Milan's strength is weaker, it is still not a big problem to qualify for the Champions League.

As long as the team's record can improve steadily, the club's revenue will naturally rise, and it will be natural to wait until the future transfer funds are more abundant to pursue those big-name stars.

As a result, Galliani is ready to ask manager Mihajlovic to draw up a targeted recruitment plan based on AC Milan's current squad.
