Now Messi's every move is in the media attention. When Rister released the news that Calderón was ready to take Messi for 45 million euros, all the media followed. After all, Messi is now one of the hottest stars in European football, and it is not one or two clubs that want to bring him in. Therefore, everyone responded quickly and hoped to be able to get in touch with Lister.

But Rist doesn't care about the comments of these media outlets. Rist just lit the fire, and what happened behind was the media's own business. As long as there is a piece of news, the media is able to brag about it for a long time. Even what the inside story, what accurate information appears in the media's speculation. What Lister wants now is to jump around among several giants and fight for the best conditions for himself and for Messi.

"Miguel, Enrique, congratulations."

After watching the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu and Calderón, in the evening Rist met with Atletico Madrid boss Miguel. Hill meets. Of course, the current chairman of Atletico Madrid is not Hill Jr., but Hill Jr. is still Atletico's largest shareholder. Next to Junior Hill is the current president of Atletico Madrid, Spanish film tycoon Enrique. Ferrezzo.

Atletico Madrid have swept away the gloom this season, leading La Liga since the start of the season, and now the lead is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no reduction in anything. Barcelona is mired in civil strife and is questionable whether they can get a place in the Champions League next season. Although Real Madrid wants to be pragmatic, and Capello is also focusing on building Real Madrid's defense, Real Madrid still has not changed the situation of strong offense and weak defense. Capello's two favourites, Emerson and Cannavaro, have been poor, and Real Madrid's fragile defence has not improved at all.

The last time Atletico led the La Liga table like this was 10 years ago. In the past ten years, Atletico Madrid's results have deteriorated, and even relegated. The two of them are certainly happy to be back at the top of the table.

"Huh. There are still many shortcomings. ”

Little Hill and Ferrezo are good friends, and they are business partners with each other. So this time it was Ferrezo who spoke first, and little Hill was not dissatisfied.

"It's already done well."

"No, Riester. My father always wanted Atletico to be a rival to Real Madrid, and the results are just beginning. You watched today's game, too. Our summer big-money introduction of Cetaridis couldn't keep up with the pace of the game. Coach Bianchi has already told us that Cetaridis is not in his plans for the future. ”

Rist smiled and nodded. I have to admire the two people in front of me. Both of them are rich people in Madrid, and their net worth is not too shabby. But compared to the real top rich, they are still a lot worse.

Because the broadcast fee of La Liga is basically divided between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid is doing well now, but there is not much TV broadcast fee at all. In addition, Atletico Madrid's commercial development is also average, and the club loses money every year. And the loss of money is very large, if you just look at the books, you should go bankrupt.

But Hill Jr. and Freezzo still keep investing and buying good players. In La Liga in these seasons, in addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico spent a lot of money. For example, Cetaridis spent six million euros when he brought it in last summer. Now look at his average state. That's why you have to abandon him directly.

'You want a new right-back? Who? ”

Rist thought silently. There are really a few people under right-back Rist, but I don't know who Hill Jr. and Ferrezo have their eyes on. Now that he has found himself, Rist believes that little Hill wants to pass through him.

"Alves of the Estrimadura Club."

"Daniel. Alves? ”

"Yes."

Rist couldn't help but look at Little Ciel and Ferrezo. These two guys are getting bigger and bigger at the right back, if they want some good and cheap right-backs. Rist had players introduce them. Even if it's not a player under Rist, Rist can help them find a good right-back. But look at their appetite, just ask for Alves.

After Alves arrived at the club of Extremadura, he has become a core of Extremadura in the past few years. Becoming the engine of the team as a right-back, Alves' ability is evident. Alves is the best right-back in La Liga at the moment. Every season, Alves is the best right-back in La Liga.

Real Madrid's Ramos is young and impulsive, Barcelona's Belletti is not strong enough, Valencia's Miguel is weak in attack and defense, and Atletico Madrid's Cetaridis is in too poor shape, no one can compare with you Alves. Now there are not one or two strong European teams that want Alves, and even many giants are paying attention to Alves. Atletico Madrid is the most unremarkable of these clubs.

"Miguel. It's not that I don't help. Daniel is not my player, you should know that. What's more, Daniel's market is very high right now. The transfer fee will definitely not be low, are you sure Atletico can afford it? ”

There is a place of scarcity at every stage of football's development. In the nineties, the most important thing was the forward player, so the value of the forward player and the striker at that time was the highest. Like what the transfer fee of the back and defender is relatively low. And the salary is nowhere near as good as that of an offensive player. The most typical is like Claude Makelle, who is the absolute workhorse of Real Madrid and receives a quarter of the salary of other superstars.

In fact, Makellele's situation was very common at that time, because that's what world football thought at that time. Isn't it a joke that you want to earn the same amount of money as you do the arts? It's just that what happened to Makelele is too typical, so everyone knows about it.

With the strong rise of Chelsea and the rise of Makelele's fame, everyone slowly realized the value of the midfield. Moreover, with the development of modern football, the classical forward midfielder has slowly withdrawn from the mainstream stage. Under this change, the transfer fee of the back has begun to increase significantly. If you want to buy a powerful back, you don't have to think about it if there are no more than 20 million in today's football.

And the scarcity is followed by full-backs. Like Ashley. Cole's defection to Arsenal to join Chelsea came out of this context. The lack of full-backs has also greatly increased the value of full-backs.

Rist also knows that after this period of time, there will be a shortage of good centre-backs in world football. At that time, the price of a centre-back is comparable to that of a striker, which is called scarcity at a premium.

Although Alves is not from a strong team, because of his outstanding performance, he is now offering less than 20 million euros and does not dare to mention it. At present, if you want Alves, you need to pay at least 20 million euros, and if it is sold well, it is not impossible to sell it for 25 or 6 million euros, or even 30 million euros. Does Atletico have that much money now?

Last summer, Atletico Madrid bought Rosicky and Aguero, both of which broke their all-time transfer fee records. Atletico spent around 60 million euros last summer, so how dare they invest that summer?

"Rist. We at Atletico are never short of money. ”

Little Hill swore by it. Rist didn't answer directly, but he was amused. Who doesn't know that La Liga clubs are now operating in debt, and basically no club can make a profit.

Among them, Real Madrid and Barcelona are big debtors, but they have a deep background and are not afraid of debts, and as a member club, they have to spend money constantly. Atletico Madrid, Valencia, and Deportivo La Coruna are all big debtors, with Deportivo having the worst situation. Because A Coruña itself is a small place, the annual income is very small, and there are no rich people behind them to support them.

And Atletico and Valencia also have a lot of debt, but Valencia is behind the Roig family, and Atletico has the support of the Hill family and movie tycoon Ferrezzo. Otherwise, Atletico and Valencia would have gone bankrupt long ago. But even with the support of the boss. But their owners also don't have the strength to support the club without limits.

Their net worth is really not as good as Rist's. It's not so easy to come up with tens of millions of euros of real money. But Rist thought about it. I don't care if they take money like this. How they raised money and what it had to do with Rist.

"If you really want to bring in Daniel. Alves, I can help you. All things being equal, I can give them a preference for Atletico. ”

Rister is sure of this. Alves' agent can have today. Rist has been a great help to him. Not to mention the Estrimadura club, which is known as a satellite club of Riester. This is not too difficult for Rist. As long as Atletico's money is not worse than that of other clubs, it is possible for Alves to choose Atletico Riste. Even if the conditions are slightly worse than other clubs, Rist can help facilitate this transfer.

"Thank you, Lister."

Thank? In fact, for Rist, thank you is not needed. Because if Alves really transfers to Atletico Madrid, Atletico will need to pay Rist. Where is the reason to call Rist casually and then not give money.

"Rist, I'm looking for you today for one thing."

"Speak!"

"Fernando's contract is about to expire and we should talk about renewing it."

It was Torres who heard it. Rist immediately sat down. Among Rist's players, Torres is definitely a cornucopia of numbers. Rist knew him when he was sixteen years old, and it had been seven years now. And this is only the early days of Torres' career, and Torres is not yet in his prime. But he has already brought tens of millions of euros to Lister.

I don't know how much money I've earned on Torres over the years. Because of Torres, Rist got more than 10 million euros in real money at Atletico Madrid alone.

It's like a player's salary share. Before the Boseman Act, agents were all vassals of players. Therefore, the club is only responsible for paying the player's salary, and then the player gives 5% of his salary to his agent. The agent at that time was the least statused, not as good as the club and not as good as the player.

There are even agents who have just negotiated a good salary for the players, and it doesn't take long for the players to kick the agents out. The agent worked hard to negotiate the result, but did not get his own share. Therefore, there are many lawsuits between agents and players, all because players are not very happy to pay their agents.

But after the Boseman Act, the strength of the agent increased greatly, and this kind of play was changed. Players are no longer giving their agents a share at the end of each season, what a bump. Now the slightly stronger players are passing on this part of the salary share to the club. After the club signs a contract with the player, the amount of the contract is divided directly to the agent.

Just as the five-year contract signed between Torres and Atletico Madrid four years ago was worth 27 million euros, Rist's salary share is not calculated on a yearly basis. But within half a year after signing the contract, Atletico Madrid directly allocated 1.35 million euros to Lister's salary share. And if Torres talks another contract during this time, Rist will also take his own salary share from the new contract.

Therefore, it can be said that the current club is more difficult than it was back then. Don't just look at how much transfer money is used, in fact, the transfer fee is just the beginning. For example, Atletico Madrid bought Rosicky for a transfer fee of 26 million euros, but this is only the first payment. Immediately afterwards, Atletico Madrid had to give Rister a commission and Rosicky a signing fee, so that it could exceed 30 million euros. Add to that the amount of Rosicky's four-year contract, that's a contract of 20 million euros. Then, after signing the contract, the club will also give Rist a share of the contract amount according to the value of the contract. And that's not the end of the story, if there are other terms attached to the contract, then you will need to continue to pay for it later. Of course, if you want to keep Rosicky after two or three years, you still need to pay a commission to Rist and give Rosicky a signing fee.

Not to mention what happened later, just for Rosicki alone, if Rosicky fulfills this contract, Atletico Madrid will have to pay 50 million euros at least. This is the least and the least, in fact, in this process, Atletico Madrid only spent more money because of Rosicky, not less.

In addition to the salary share, Torres has been able to get a lot of commissions every time he signs with Rist since he was very young. Torres has signed three contracts so far, and has received more than six million euros in commissions alone. Coupled with the loyalty bonus on Torres, Riester will receive a million euros for every year of his five-year contract. Four years are now near, and Rist has received four million euros.

And Torres has a high commercial value, after all, he is the flag of Atletico Madrid. Many people think that he is another golden boy in Spain after Raul. It is precisely because of the high profits brought to Lister that Lister is more cautious.

"Renewal? It's time to talk about renewals. ”

Reese nodded and Torres was left with one year left on his contract at the end of the season. And it's important to note that Torres is getting better and better, while the contract time is getting less and less. Atletico are completely passive, and Rister is completely active. Rist looked at little Hill and said, "Miguel, Fernando will only be twenty-three years old in another month, but his performance this season is already at the superstar level." I think Henry's salary can be referenced. ”

Little Ciel and Freezzo exchanged glances, and then both of them had solemn expressions. Torres is Atletico's golden boy, Atletico flag, and the king of Atletico this season. The two of them really wanted to keep Torres. Now listening to what Lister meant, they realized that Rister really had too much appetite.

What is Henry's salary, that's 8 million euros a year after tax. Thierry Henry enjoys the Beckham Act, so their club only needs to spend around 10 million euros a year to support Henry. However, Torres does not enjoy the Beckham Act, and if the annual salary after tax is 8 million euros, Atletico will have to pay more than 15 million euros a year. That's not a small amount.

Atletico Madrid is not Real Madrid after all, and Real Madrid can spend 20 million euros a year to support a superstar, or even several superstars. But if Atletico want to spend 15 million euros a year to raise a superstar, it will not be so easy. However, Hill does not want Torres to move, so he needs to carefully consider the gains and losses in all aspects.

"Lister, I think we can talk slowly."

"Okay. I also need to talk to Fernando, maybe he has bigger ambitions. ”
