Chapter 475: Sit back and relax
The Inter Milan team re-signed the contract with Shen Feng, in addition to extending the contract, increasing the annual salary, and making the annual salary more in line with Shen Feng's role in the team, there is also a purpose, which is to increase Shen Feng's liquidated damages.
In this regard, it has to be said that Paris Saint-Germain set a very bad example by taking Neymar away from Barcelona by activating the liquidated damages clause.
Before that, a superstar like Neymar had only 220 million euros in liquidated damages, and Messi's liquidated damages were only 300 million euros at that time.
After that, Messi's liquidated damages rose to 700 million euros, an amount that basically eliminated the triggering of the liquidated damages clause.
When Shen Feng signed his first contract with Inter Milan, the liquidated damages were 300 million euros, which is already a fairly high price, especially for players who have just landed in Europe.
Although Shen Feng had already made his mark in the World Cup at that time, he was still just a small person in international football and had not yet proven himself in Europe.
At that time, the Inter Milan team was still looking at Shen Feng with old eyes, thinking that he would have a process of adaptation like other young players who had just landed in Europe, and only after one or two years, or even two or three years, would he fully adapt to the rhythm of the Serie A league and gain a firm foothold in the European arena.
The Inter Milan team offered Shen Feng a transfer price of 35 million euros at that time, and they took advantage of the number of fans in the Dragon Kingdom, which was not quite in line with Shen Feng's strength, it was too low.
Within the Inter Milan team, as well as the European media and fans, they have a cautious wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, and there are also voices that think that the Inter Milan team has made a false offer, and UEFA has even conducted a special investigation for this.
However, just four months later, all the doubts surrounding Shen Feng disappeared!
Shen Feng's way of responding to these doubts is to win a Champions League title for Inter Milan!
Not to mention the other values attached to a Champions League title, the Champions League share and bonus that can be shared from UEFA alone is enough to offset Shen Feng's transfer fee, and there is a big surplus.
At this time, no one continued to think that the transfer price of 35 million euros offered by the Inter Milan team for Shen Feng was a false price!
In just a few months, Shen Feng, who has gained a firm foothold in the European arena, has proved himself with real records and performances.
The Inter Milan team is no longer worried about whether the transfer price offered to Shen Feng is inflated, but begins to worry about whether the liquidated damages set for Shen Feng are too low.
The Paris Saint-Germain team did not hesitate to poach Neymar from the Barcelona team in an abnormal way of activating the liquidated damages clause, the biggest purpose is to hope that Neymar's joining can bring them the most desired Champions League title!
Neymar's other commercial interests must be ranked after this purpose.
However, until now, this goal of the Paris Saint-Germain team has still not been achieved.
Inter Milan had no intention of intervening, but only used one-sixth of Neymar's transfer fee to get back a Champions League title, which was a bargain.
The bargain is yet to come.
Shen Feng joined the Inter Milan team in his second season, helping the Inter Milan team create the great cause of "five crowns", which even surpassed the previous "big international era"!
At this time, looking back at Shen Feng's transfer, this deal can no longer be described as "cost-effective", it is simply blood gain!
Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants that are not bad for money, at this time, are all aiming at Shen Feng.
When Shen Feng helped Inter Milan win the first Champions League championship, Real Madrid had already inquired about Inter Milan and made an offer of 100 million euros for Shen Feng!
In just four months, Shen Feng's worth has risen from 35 million euros to 100 million euros, a speed that is unique in the entire history of world football!
The Inter Milan team was not moved by this offer at all, and did not even have the intention of opening negotiations, and only responded with the words "not for sale"!
These three words are the most significant labels on Shen Feng in the past two years.
The Inter Milan team is not stupid, Suning Group controls the team, the purpose is not to make money, but to expand the influence of its brand in the world, and it is natural to hold on to Shen Feng, the biggest golden sign in international football today.
The Real Madrid team refused to give up, and throughout the summer transfer window, they have been diligently pursuing Shen Feng, and without the Inter Milan team's counteroffer, they themselves gradually increased the offer to Shen Feng from 100 million euros to 150 million euros.
Inter Milan remained unmoved.
There is no one who complains about the 150 million euros offered to Shen Feng by the Real Madrid team, and the international football community has reached a consensus that Shen Feng deserves this value.
After Shen Feng created the "Five Crowns" for the Inter Milan team, although everyone knew that it was impossible for the Inter Milan team to let Shen Feng go now, the Real Madrid team still talked to themselves and made an offer of 160 million euros to Shen Feng, and gradually increased the price to 180 million euros.
Inter Milan didn't even bother to pay attention to Real Madrid.
Now, Abu, the owner of the Chelsea team, has arrogantly made an offer of 200 million euros to Shen Feng and strongly intervened in Shen Feng's competition.
The Inter Milan team is not worried at all, because after re-signing the contract, Shen Feng's liquidated damages have been increased from the previous 300 million euros to 1 billion euros!
For this reason, the Inter Milan team not only increased Shen Feng's annual salary from 12 million euros to 30 million euros, but also paid Shen Feng an additional signing fee of up to 50 million euros, which can be regarded as making up for the previous transfer fee arrears.
Before that, what the Inter Milan team was most worried about was that some teams triggered Shen Feng's liquidated damages clause, although 300 million euros is a lot, but giants like Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Chelsea are not bad at money, and they are ruthless, and they can't pay it out.
Now, Shen Feng's liquidated damages have been increased to 1 billion euros, even if someone can afford this money, FIFA and UFA, in order to maintain the stability of the transfer market, will also restrict it.
Inter Milan are just now at ease.
In fact, Shen Feng had a very good time in the Inter Milan team, and he had no intention of jumping to other teams, although in previous years, the momentum of the Inter Milan team in the world was not as good as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United, but after all, it is also a veteran giant with a hundred years of history, worthy of Shen Feng's current status in international football.
