"Judging from the current general situation, the third-party institutions that hold players are usually agent companies."

"In the case of selling players, we not only have to share the transfer fee with a third-party agency according to the proportion of the player's shareholding, but we also need to pay an additional transfer agency fee and a certain percentage of the commission."

"It's like Xavi Garcia, when he brought in from Real Madrid, he spent 7 million euros, which we paid together with our agent, and when he transferred to Manchester City, the transfer fee was 16 million euros, and the difference between the price was 9 million euros, and if we divide it according to shares, we can have a transfer profit of 4.5 million euros."

"But after deducting the intermediary fees, deducting the commission, and deducting a series of other follow-up fees, we only made less than three million euros at most, and all the rest was earned by the broker."

Yang Huan can fully imagine this situation, after all, third-party institutions and brokers have always existed in the way of vampires, especially brokerage predators like Mendez, who are not good at stubble.

But then, Rui Costa's words surprised Yang Huan.

"Young Master Huan, maybe you think that if you earn more and earn less, don't you have to make money?" The former Portuguese superstar smiled a little awkwardly when he said this.

Yang Huan also felt a little strange, because Rui Costa gave him the impression of an artist-like figure, but now, what he said was extremely coppery reality and snobbery, and if it was really known by the fans outside, he would definitely break his glasses.

"But you know what? Xavi Garcia spent two years at Benfica, during which time his salary, bonuses and a series of other supporting benefits were borne by the club, and if these are also included, we can not say that this transaction is profitable, and may even lose money. ”

These words really surprised Yang Huan.

Because Rui Costa calculated like this, Benfica did lose a lot.

On the contrary, it is a third-party agency, and the players' salaries, bonuses and benefits can be commissioned, and the transfer fee must also be commissioned, and intermediary fees and a series of other handling fees are charged, and they also make a lot of money.

In the end, it was the club that was unlucky!

"Actually, it's a good situation for Xavi Garcia, after all, he has contributed to the club, the team has done a good job, although the players have not made any money, but the club has achieved results."

At this point, Rui Costa shifted gears, "But you know what? With players like Saviola and Garay, the club is a complete mess. ”

"Why?"

"Saviola was transferred to Benfica from Real Madrid in 09, and his value was five million euros, which was also involved by a third-party agency, but his salary was very high, and the club originally hoped that he would be able to play at a high price and sell it for cash, but he did not expect that his performance in Benfica was not satisfactory."

"But what is even more outrageous is that in 2012, Malaga was one of the stars in European football, and Saviola was one of them, and at this time, Saviola's third-party ownership agency came to Benfica to negotiate on behalf of Malaga, and they asked Benfica to let Saviola transfer on a free transfer."

"Benfica was finally forced by the pressure of agents and players, coupled with Saviola's high salary, it was too luxurious to stay and sit on the bench, and finally had to choose to let him transfer freely, but on this transaction, Benfica lost a mess, but the agent made a lot of money!"

This time, Yang Huan didn't need Rui Costa's explanation to understand.

In the past three years at Benfica, the agent has taken commissions from Saviola, and this money is given by Benfica, even if Saviola performs badly and cannot play the main role, he still has to give a salary, and the agent can still take a commission.

And after going to Malaga on a free transfer, on the surface, the third party represented by the agent also lost money, but in fact?

In the past three years, the commission itself has recovered some costs, free transfer to Malaga, take the opportunity to ask for a big contract, plus intermediary fees, signing fees or something, this circle down, the agent does not dare to say that it is a big profit, but at least it is a small profit.

On the contrary, it is Benfica, which has lost a lot!

As for the Garay mentioned by Rui Costa, he is also from Real Madrid, worth 5 million, and is currently playing for Benfica, but it is said that he has signed the Russian team Zenit in advance, and is worth 6 million euros.

This is too cheap for the main central defender of the Argentine national team!

It is completely predictable that the broker operates Garay to Zenit, and the Russians must have given a lot of intermediary fees and commissions.

And Benfica is also very passive in this transaction, with no autonomy, and can only be slaughtered.

"The more profitable is Witsel, the 40 million euros that the Belgian transferred to Zenit, we can probably get about 20 million euros, and if you deduct the intermediary fee and commission, about 15 million euros, it is a profit."

Yang Huan could only smile bitterly at this.

He really didn't expect that the so-called third-party organization would be even blacker than he imagined.

It's no wonder that Atletico Madrid has cultivated so many stars for so many years and sold one leading player after another, but the result is still losing money every year and making ends meet.

Vieira sat on the side, also smiling bitterly, "Master Huan, you are a Premier League giant, you don't know our situation, now the salary of players is generally high, if we want to fight for the Champions League, we have to attract a group of powerful players, and salaries and bonuses have become a heavy burden for us." ”

"It's not just Benfica, Porto, if you deduct the transfer of players, the annual income is about 80 million euros, but their annual expenses are nearly 100 million, which is a loss of nearly 20 million euros!"

Yang Huan still believes Vieira's words.

Many fans just see a team like Porto shine on the European stage, but they ignore the heavy pressure they also have to carry behind their impressive performances, especially the players' salaries.

No pain, no gain.

Investing may not be rewarding, but if you don't invest, you won't be able to get a return.

Therefore, every report card of Porto in the Champions League is piled up by the heavy debt behind the club.

This is true of Porto, it is also true of Benfica, it is true of countless teams like them!

And straightening out this layer, Yang Huan further understood why the Portuguese Super League team wanted to rely on a third party like this.

To put it bluntly, without third-party investment institutions, they don't even have the money to recruit!

On this side, the team has to sell the main players to make up for the loss, but on the other side there is no money to bring in reinforcements, so the choice left to the club is very simple, either to bring in a third party, or to damage the strength.

The latter seems to have a lot of backbone, but in these years, can the backbone be eaten?

It is especially alarming that when a team is mired in a vicious circle, no one can save it!

Therefore, they know that cooperating with a third party is to quench their thirst, and they know that they have to accept the exploitation of a third party, but they still have to accept it, because by rejecting a third party, they have only a dead end!

And if someone wants to talk about youth training, it is even more naïve.

If any professional club had pinned all its hopes on the academy in those years, the club would have not known where it had died, and it would have been impossible to survive!

To put it mildly, the youth training thing is just betting on luck, no one knows what can be gained by investing so much.

It could even be nothing!

Let's ask, is this mode of operation reliable?

If Yang Huan is not mistaken, Benfica still has a debt of 100 million euros!

As for Porto, the debt is also in the tens of millions!

Of course, don't look at Vieira and Rui Costa now venting their bitterness and think they are victims.

Don't be naïve!

Perhaps, like Porto's da Costa, they are the beneficiaries of this system.

Because they are them, Benfica is Benfica.

Who says that Benfica is losing money and is in debt, and they are going to be unlucky?

But after this conversation, Yang Huan really has a further understanding of the Portuguese Super League.

If there is an advantage of the Portuguese Super League, it is also the attraction of the Portuguese Super League to players from South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, as well as their excellent scouting network in South America, which ensures that they have an endless supply of talent.

It's just that over the years, the South American economy has taken off, and the value of players has also risen, and it is no longer the era when hundreds of thousands, one or two million could poach geniuses.

Therefore, for the transfer fees of South American players who are often millions, or even more than 10 million, whether it is Porto or Benfica, they cannot afford it and can only turn to a third party.

Just kidding, what is the annual income? Can you afford these players?

But in the Internet era, as long as a player emerges a little, he will be immediately noticed, and his value will soar, and it is difficult to have high-quality and cheap goods.

So, to a certain extent, a third-party institution is also a kind of football venture capital.

It's just that what they're investing in is people.

Sooner or later, this kind of behavior of selling people as slaves and commodities will be outlawed.

It's just that Yang Huan is thinking that teams such as Benfica and Porto are now in exactly the same situation as Atletico Madrid at the beginning, relying too much on a third party, but they themselves have a strong ability to cultivate players and a pretty good scouting network.

The only thing they lack is money!

What's more, their market capitalization on the stock market is quite low, about 30 million or 40 million euros.

At Benfica's current share price, the purchase price must be incredibly low if it is willing to take on debt.

At that time, if we follow the example of Atletico Madrid, eradicate the cancer of third-party institutions, and invest a sum of money to operate, I believe there will be a lot to be done.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan knew what to expect, and decided to go back and let Zhao Yuanfang study it again.

With UEFA and FIFA both cracking down on third-party ownership, the Portuguese Super League is sure to be purged, and if you can take this opportunity to win this ideal natural springboard for South American players, it will undoubtedly be a pretty good opportunity.

With this thought, Yang Huan also became interested.

Grabbing Vieira and Rui Costa, they asked for more information and information.

Benfica really wanted to cooperate with Yang Huan, and they even mentioned the Brazilian demons of Shakhtar Donetsk, hoping that Yang Huan could loan them to Benfica.

This suddenly made Yang Huan smile bitterly, there is really nothing new under the sun.

If you want to say that the demon who bought the Donetsk Shakhtar team, it was secretly carried out by Yang Huan, and Pini Zahavi, Horabchin and Bertolucci were in charge, and it had only been closed for a long time.

The seven players handpicked by Yang Huan have a total price of nearly 60 million, which is quite a good deal.

But who would have thought that Benfica had already received the news just after the deal.

That's true for Benfica, and certainly for other European teams.

Niang Sipi, with the quality of this group of Brazilian players, will there be a large number of teams rushing to ask for it at that time?

It's a headache to think about!
