Neymar has also completed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, and the contract has been extended until 2025, and the annual salary after the renewal has also reached 40 million euros.

In other words, after completing the new contract, Shen Feng became the third highest-paid player in the world after Messi and Neymar, alongside Ronaldo.

And Messi and Ronaldo's contracts are now only one year old, and at present, Juventus and Barcelona have no intention of continuing to renew their contracts, after all, by 2022, Messi will be thirty-five years old, and Ronaldo will be thirty-seven years old.

In addition to Messi and Ronaldo, there are currently no more than five players in the world with an annual salary of more than 25 million euros, and Shen Feng is the most powerful and potential among them.

Mbappe's current annual salary is only 15 million euros, which is only half of Shen Feng's.

Of course, it is said that Paris Saint-Germain is now also seeking to renew Mbappe's contract, and once the contract extension is reached, Mbappe's annual salary will have a relatively large increase.

However, even if Paris Saint-Germain has a Middle Eastern oil gold dollar background, it is impossible for a super-high-paid player with an annual salary of more than 30 million euros when there is already a Neymar with an annual salary of 40 million euros in the team.

Although football clubs do not have the so-called salary cap of the NBA, UEFA also has certain requirements for the financial status of each club, and there will be corresponding restrictions on clubs that are obviously unable to make ends meet.

In recent years, the Dragon Super League has been continuously reformed, and a very important aspect is to improve the financial situation of the club, although it is not required to make a profit, but also to reduce the amount of losses as much as possible.

With the current degree of development of the football market in the Dragon Country, it is not easy to make the Dragon Super League profitable, even if it is a continuous introduction of measures to restrict high-priced transfers, it is purely with high investment, only to show some vigorous development momentum of the Dragon Super League, is the football market development degree is still in a relatively low stage now, operating a club, is still not a good deal.

With the continuous rise of the Dragon Team's record, the enthusiasm of Dragon Country fans for football continues to rise, which also promotes the commercial development of the Dragon Super League.

Five years ago, the average number of fans per game in the Dragon Super League was less than 20,000, but now, that number has doubled to 40,000.

Thanks to the economic construction of various places, the teams of the Dragon Super League and the Dragon League have more than 40,000 spectator seats at home, including some super-large stadiums that can accommodate 60,000 or 70,000 people.

Compared with five years ago, the price of a single game ticket has increased by 50%, and the price of a season ticket has also increased by 30%.

However, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game, or that sentence, there are too many fans in Dragon Country!

Nearly 100 million fans, even if there are one percent of them, there is a demand to watch the game on the spot, it is also one million people, the Dragon Super League and the Dragon League combined, each round is only 16 games, the average number of fans in the Dragon Super League is 40,000, the average number of fans in the Dragon League is 20,000, and the number of people who watch the game in each round is less than 500,000.

This shows the potential of the football market in Longguo.

The football club of the Dragon Country is now also well-learned, and it is no longer like in previous years, it will only be the wronged leader, and the matter of giving players an annual salary of 20 million US dollars cannot even be done by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, which are rich and rich in Middle Eastern oil, and only the rich and willful Dragon Super League clubs can do such a thing.

Now, the strategy of recruiting in the Dragon Super League has changed somewhat, no longer blindly, but according to the needs of their respective teams, looking for suitable candidates, and the annual salary price code for these foreign aides has also begun to refer to the market price, no longer arbitrarily and recklessly, disrupting the laws of the market.

Now, in the Dragon Super League, although there are some foreign players with an annual salary of more than 10 million euros, but the number is not large, and most of the foreign aids, with an annual salary of less than 10 million euros, are basically between 6 million euros and 8 million euros.

You must know that last year's "World Footballer" and "European Golden Ball Award" double Mr. Gentleman, the core of the French team, superstar Griezmann, now has an annual salary of only 12 million euros.

Griezmann's personal strength comprehensive ranking, even if he can't squeeze into the top 10 and top 20 of active players, definitely has a place for him.

In fact, an annual salary like Griezmann is in line with the laws of the market, Neymar's 40 million euros and Shen Feng's 30 million euros all reflect not only their strength on the field, but also a large part of the commercial value off the field.

For example, Shen Feng, starting from next season, can get an annual salary of 30 million euros after tax from the Inter Milan club every season, plus bonuses such as goal awards and championship awards, if he can help the Inter Milan team win the "five crowns" again, the annual salary plus bonuses may exceed 40 million euros.

This money seems like a lot, but it is nothing compared to the commercial value that Shen Feng created for the Inter Milan team.

Not to mention the invisible commercial value of attracting fans and sponsors, nor the improvement of Inter Milan's performance, which can get more bonuses from the Italian Football Federation and UEFA, only that there are tangible commercial interests related to Shen Feng.

In 2020, the sales volume of Shen Feng's personal jerseys in Dragon Country will reach 20 million pieces, in Italy, there will also be sales of 2 million, and in other European countries, there will also be sales of about 2 million.

Just by selling genuine jerseys, Shen Feng has brought more than 100 million euros of revenue to the Inter Milan club, which is enough to pay Shen Feng's annual salary based on 50% of the net profit.

This is just an example, the commercial benefits that Shen Feng brings to the Inter Milan team are by no means limited to this, so the annual salary of 30 million euros offered by the Inter Milan team for Shen Feng is definitely not an untargeted and random offer.

Moreover, compared with Messi's current annual salary of 45 million euros per season in the Barcelona team, Shen Feng's annual salary still has a lot of room for improvement.

Shen Feng's current role in the Inter Milan team is in no way inferior to Messi's Barcelona team!

Even in the heyday of the Barcelona team's "space battleship", Messi did not help the Barcelona team to defend the title in the Champions League, and in this regard, Shen Feng's role in the Inter Milan team has even surpassed Messi's role in the Barcelona team.
