Chapter 894 The Trip to Milan (Part 1) Seeking Tickets for Part 2

As the Aston Villa club executives had previously judged based on 'intelligence', Milan is ready to sell the star to ease the financial crisis.

Berlusconi can be elected Prime Minister of Italy, AC Milan's excellent record undoubtedly played a role in fueling the flames.

However, the various scandals in the past two years have made Lao Bei more and more unable to take care of himself.

In addition, after divorcing his wife, Lao Bei needs to pay a daily alimony of 80,000 pounds.

As the saying goes, misfortune never comes singly. Due to the allegations of unfair competition under its Mediaset, Laobei was forced to pay a huge compensation of 560 million euros to its business rivals.

What is even more exaggerated is that Lao Bei spends more than 30 million euros on high-level multiplayer sports and other high-level entertainment every year.

It is an established fact that Berlusconi has no money. The company fraud scandal and the divorce lawsuit have made the former Italian Prime Minister’s pocket shrink sharply. Not only can the old Berlusconi who has no money continue to invest in AC Milan, but he also wants to reduce the team as much as possible. bring pressure.

Of course, after all, Milan is Berlusconi's gold-lettered brand, and he has not completely stopped investing in Milan. In April this year, Berlusconi paid out of his own pocket to fill up Milan's 67 million euro fiscal deficit.

In addition, after the end of the season, AC Milan also "cleaned up" many big contracts

Inzaghi, Nesta, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Seedorf, Van Bommel and other veterans will leave the team after their contracts expire. The total after-tax annual salary of these six veterans is as high as 16.8 million euros, including taxes. Therefore, the Rossoneri will spend 33.6 million euros less in salary in the new season.

Closer to home, the meeting between Fang Jue, Thiago Silva and his agent was an invitation to the Brazilian on behalf of the team.

In addition, Fang Jue brought Aston Villa's general manager Byron over, and Byron and Aston Villa's legal team will conduct final negotiations with the Brazilian on salary.

Aston Villa's negotiations with AC Milan to buy Thiago Silva can be said to be full of twists and turns.

At first it was Milan who refused to sell the player.

Later, it was the local tyrant Paris who impressed Milan with a check, and AC Milan was tempted by the initial offer of nearly 40 million euros offered by Paris.

AC Milan vice-chairman Galliani began meeting and negotiating with Paris Saint-Germain general manager Leonardo.

At this time, Aston Villa opened the door and said, how boring are the two of you, how good is it for us to exercise together?

In this regard, the Rossoneri have nothing to do. Since they are willing to sell, who is it different? What matters is the price.

However, Aston Villa is a thief. After they entered the field, they did not raise the price with Paris.

Instead, after submitting an offer of 38 million euros, they stood still.

Greater Paris raised the offer to 40 million euros, and the gap between the two sides is not too big.

What did Aston Villa do?

Aston Villa went to work as a player.

In this case, the club tacitly allows the buyer to contact the player.

In fact, Thiago Silva has never considered leaving AC Milan. It can be said that the Brazilian was forced into the transfer market by the team.

Brazilians are a little emotional.

Of course, things have come to this point, and he has to think about his future.

Leonardo has a great influence in Brazil and among Brazilian players. At the beginning, Leonardo contributed to Kaka's transfer to AC Milan. Thiago Silva joined AC Milan from a Brazilian domestic club. Leonardo Duo also contributed a lot behind the scenes.

Therefore, Thiago Silva was inclined to choose to go to Paris Saint-Germain at the beginning.

In this case, Fang Jue called Thiago Silva himself.

"Thiago, if you are looking for money, please choose Paris, where you can even earn the top salary of a football defender."

"If you want a championship, then please come to Villa!"

It was this sentence that moved Thiago Silva.

He is 27 years old, and this is the best golden career of a central defender.

From a rational point of view, he was unwilling to go to Paris.

He won the Serie A title and now dreams of winning the Champions League with the club.

Obviously, it is impossible for Paris Saint-Germain to reach the top of Europe in the short term.

If you go to Aston Villa, it is obviously closer to standing on the top of Europe.

Aston Villa now seems to be the most popular new force in Europe and a rising new giant.

Thiago Silva promised to think about it.

Of course, the consideration is the money factor.

Although he is tempted, he will not be blind. I am willing to give up Paris and possibly a sky-high salary to go to Villa, but you, Aston Villa, can't treat me badly?

...

Thiago Silva's current salary at AC Milan is 4 million euros.

The salaries of Serie A players are all after tax.

The weekly wages of players in the Premier League are pre-tax.

The annual salary of 4 million euros after tax is roughly equivalent to the pre-tax weekly salary of 105,000 pounds in the Premier League.

The weekly salary of 105,000 pounds has exceeded the basic maximum salary of 80,000 pounds in the Aston Villa team.

However, Fang Jue has decided to increase the ceiling of the team's maximum salary, and it will not work if it does not increase. If Aston Villa wants to become a wealthy family, their salary must keep up, otherwise they will not be able to retain their stars.

According to the preliminary decision made by Fang Jue and the club's senior management after meeting and studying, the salary package of the reformed Aston Villa team will set up six grades.

The first tier is the number one star in the team, which is currently Bell, and there is no limit to the maximum salary of the number one star.

Of course, this unlimited limit is also relative, players cannot give as much as they ask for, this needs to be negotiated.

Aston Villa will certainly try their best to limit the salary of the top star.

However, there is no limit to the salary of the top star, which gives hope to the team's big-name stars and enables the team to retain as many people as possible.

The second tier is the team's basic maximum salary. The initial intention is to set the maximum salary at 100,000 pounds, which is in line with Arsenal.

The team has three places with a basic maximum salary.

In Fang Jue's heart, one of the three places is for Clement.

For his hardcore confidant, Fang Jue is very generous.

Last summer, Clement was unwilling to raise his salary, and Fang Jue almost took a gun to force this guy to raise his salary.

You see, what a bold person, some people who say he is a vampire or a capitalist have a bad conscience.

Another spot is reserved for Modric.

The other one is reserved for Thiago Silva. To attract AC Milan's leading central defender to join, he must bleed heavily.

However, at present, in order to persuade Thiago Silva to join the team, the basic maximum salary needs to be increased, or the maximum salary of 100,000 pounds can be maintained, but it can be made up in bonuses and other aspects.

Of course, this basic maximum salary yellow line will not remain fixed. The current salary of players is increasing faster and faster. When the situation requires it, Aston Villa will naturally need to make adjustments accordingly.

Again, giants are not just victories and championships on the field.

The salary package also needs to be very embarrassing.

Fang Jue already had this realization.
