Chapter 493: King's Landing at the Bernabeu (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lu Wenbin's transfer has been the focus of the most attention in the summer of 2011.
Although Lu Wenbin has only been transferred to Inter Milan for a season, the average player will not transfer in a year.
But Lu Wenbin was too successful.
Although he only came for one season, it only took him one season to lead Inter Milan to complete Moratti's dream of the Champions League and the dream of the big international era for many years, and his own performance was also better than when he was at Hoffenheim, and even staged a miracle of five goals in eight minutes.
Lu Wenbin's achievements in Serie A and Inter Milan have reached their peak.
Coupled with the fact that Inter Milan has not reached a contract renewal with Lu Wenbin for a long time, everyone has a hunch that Lu Wenbin will definitely leave this summer.
But where to transfer in the end has always been a mystery.
Now, the mystery has finally been revealed.
On July 1, 2011, on the first day of the European football transfer window, Real Madrid held a press conference to announce the transfer of Lu Wenbin, the world's number one superstar and FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, to Real Madrid.
Lu Wenbin's transfer fee is the liquidated damages of 150 million euros he signed with Inter Milan, the annual salary of 20 million after tax for signing Real Madrid, and the liquidated damages of 250 million for three years.
Lu Wenbin even wanted to reduce the liquidated damages to 200 million, but Real Madrid did not agree, and in the end, the two sides could only reluctantly reach a liquidated damages clause of 250 million.
This contract period and liquidated damages made Florentino feel very insecure.
Real Madrid naturally wants to sign for a longer period of time, and it is best to increase the liquidated damages to 500 million or 1 billion or something, but how can Lu Wenbin agree.
It is precisely because he only wants to sign for three years and the liquidated damages are low enough that Lu Wenbin only needs an annual salary of 20 million euros.
Otherwise, with his record of leading different teams to the treble for two consecutive seasons, at least 25 million.
Although the current annual salary of 20 million euros is also very high, with Lu Wenbin's current achievements, goal efficiency, and 100% success rate of winning the championship, this annual salary can be called a friendly price, which is less than twice that of Ronaldo's 12 million.
Lu Wenbin also decided to sign a contract with Real Madrid because of Real Madrid's reputation and brand, plus the system tasks that the five major leagues must go through.
Even so, transfer fees, salary expenses, agent commissions, player signing fees, taxes, etc., Real Madrid also spent more than 200 million for Lu Wenbin, which can be described as a big gamble, and the contract period is not long, the liquidated damages are not high, and the conditions are not very good.
Of course, with Real Madrid's arrogant personality, it can accept such a harsh contract period and liquidated damages, which is also because Lu Wenbin is too strong, plus the Champions League results in recent years.
Since Zinedine Zidane helped Real Madrid win the 9th Champions League, the 10th Champions League has become a problem for everyone up and down Real Madrid.
To this end, Florentino spared no expense to bring in two Golden Ball Gentlemen, Ronaldo and Kaka, and Real Madrid became the only team in the world to have two current Golden Ball Players at the same time.
But despite this, Real Madrid failed to win their tenth Champions League.
Not only did he not get it, but he fell into the vicious circle of the Champions League every year, and became a laughing stock all over the world.
Because of this, in the face of Lu Wenbin, the number one superstar in football today with high goal efficiency and a 100% success rate in winning the championship, Florentino will make concessions to Lu Wenbin in terms of portrait rights sharing, contract years, liquidated damages clauses and other aspects.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin's personal strength and achievements, which were too dazzling, with Real Madrid's arrogance and Florentino's character, he would not have given in so much!
In the eyes of everyone at Real Madrid, Real Madrid is the best club of the century and the most successful team in the world.
Only Lu Wenbin can make Real Madrid and their helmsman bow their heads, and finally let the two sides reach a consensus and sign a successful contract.
Real Madrid announced that Lu Wenbin will arrive in Madrid on July 8, undergo a medical examination on the morning of Saturday, July 9, and hold an appearance ceremony at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home stadium, in the afternoon.
After the press conference, the news of Lu Wenbin's transfer to Real Madrid quickly spread around the world.
"Lu Wenbin's 150 million euro transfer to Real Madrid has set a new record for transfer fees in football! 》
"The annual salary of 20 million euros sets a new salary record in football! 》
"Real Madrid invested over 200 million yuan to bet on Lu Wenbin, just for the tenth Champions League! 》
"Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, Kaka, the three Golden Globe gentlemen gather at the Bernabeu, and the Galaxy Battleship opens a new era!" 》
"On July 9th, watch Lu Wenbin come to the Bernabeu!" 》
The overwhelming news made Lu Wenbin appear in front of countless fans around the world again, and even ordinary people.
A 21-year-old young man is worth 150 million euros, equivalent to more than 1.3 billion yuan.
The annual salary is 20 million euros, equivalent to nearly 180 million yuan.
If you include the team's appearance fee, goal award, assist award and championship bonus, as well as portrait rights authorization share, advertising endorsement, commercial activity appearance fee, etc., Lu Wenbin's annual income exceeds 50 million euros, more than 500 million yuan.
Such an income is higher than the annual income of most billionaires. Some listed companies with a market value of tens of billions of dollars may not necessarily have a net profit higher than Lu Wenbin's personal income in a year.
Because they have to consider the return on investment, and even whether they will lose money, while Lu Wenbin is purely salary and endorsement income.
Whether in terms of competitive performance, popularity or earning ability, Lu Wenbin is the most outstanding person among young people in the world.
Not only fans, but countless young people who don't usually watch football regard Lu Wenbin as an idol.
Lu Wenbin's fame, like Real Madrid, began to spread to ordinary people outside the fans.
On July 8, Lu Wenbin arrived in Madrid, the capital of Spain, and moved into a villa selected in advance by Kate with her assistant.
Then, on the morning of July 9, Lu Wenbin's full physique was naturally no problem, and his physical fitness was better than that of everyone in the Real Madrid team.
The doctor in charge of the physical examination even declared in the end that Lu Wenbin's physique is the most suitable for playing football.
At 4 p.m., the 80,000-capacity Bernabeu Stadium was packed, and more than 100,000 people were even outside to be inadmitted.
There were 200,000 Real Madrid fans across Spain who witnessed Lu Wenbin's appearance at the Bernabeu Stadium.
When Florentino finished introducing Lu Wenbin's previous achievements, he announced: "Now, let us welcome Lu Wenbin with the warmest applause!" ”
Suddenly, the Real Madrid fans broke out into the warmest applause, cheers, and screams.
Even Real Madrid fans, who claim to be from the upper echelons, have warmly welcomed Lu Wenbin's arrival.
Lu Wenbin's final speech was also domineering: "I came to Real Madrid with the world's highest transfer fee and annual salary, not only to bring you the tenth Champions League, but also Real Madrid's unprecedented treble!" ”
Lu Wenbin's speech shocked everyone, whether it was fans or journalists, and even Real Madrid top management such as Florentino.
No one has ever said that the Champions League, or even the Treble is the same as what he has in his pocket, and he will take it!
Lu Wenbin is the first person ever.
But because he did it, and he did it with different teams for two seasons in a row!
If you think about it carefully, aren't the Champions League and Triple Crown just in Lu Wenbin's bag?
This is simply the best booster for Real Madrid, who have been dubbed the disgraceful title of Champions League 16 and are struggling to win the 10th Champions League.
Suddenly, the most enthusiastic shouts of the Real Madrid fans in the stadium completely broke out, and Lu Wenbin's name resounded in the sky, echoing in the sky above Madrid for a long time.
Lu Wenbin, like a monarch who fought in the south and the north, came to the Bernabeu on July 9, 2011, and is about to lead Real Madrid to embark on a glorious Champions League journey again!
