Chapter 152 Chapter 152 The Euro is Burning

Madrid.

As the largest city in Spain, it is also the holy place in the hearts of countless Real Madrid fans.

Shen Hao's yacht was docked at the largest marina in Madrid, and Maldini, Marsala, and Semens were invited to board the yacht.

When they heard that the yacht was worth more than one billion US dollars, Maldini and the others were shocked, and at the same time they were extremely excited.

There is really nothing to say about the strength of the new boss.

The cost of a yacht is already comparable to a wealthy club with a long history.

In the modern football world, everything else is imaginary, only money is the most practical.

Shen Hao used to be a fan, but Maldini is too far away from him. He only learned about the greatness of this legendary star from the fans' word of mouth and documentaries.

But no matter how great he is, he still has to work for him now.

"Paul, I entrust you and Frederick (Masala) with carte blanche for the signing and cleaning of the team. I have only one request, at least to keep the top four position."

Shen Hao shook the red wine in the glass, and made a request that put Maldini and the others under great pressure.

From a small team to the top four of the Premier League, it is not as simple as talking about it.

Almost all the players in Southampton's current lineup have to be purged, and a large number of powerful stars have to be introduced. The amount of money that will be spent is absolutely unimaginable.

Maldini and Marsala looked at each other, and then Maldini said: "Boss, the competition for the position in the Champions League is very fierce. I'm afraid we need a lot of investment."

"Oh, how much does that cost?"

Shen Hao suddenly had the feeling of playing FIFA 22. Every time he started from a weak team and won all the championships step by step, it felt much better than buying a rich team.

Even if Shen Hao bought Manchester United, it was nothing more than spending more money.

But the problem is that the acquisition of Manchester United costs billions of euros, and it is not worthwhile to spend this money on an underdog.

Every year, you can spend a lot of money to introduce stars, gain attention, and watch the team rise from scratch to the top giants step by step. This is the essence of the development system game.

Maldini tentatively said: "We need at least [-] million euros before we can build a competitive lineup and have a chance to enter the top four."

"Six hundred million euros?"

It's not like Shen Hao doesn't know anything. During this period of time, he also read the information compiled by the think tank. The top four contenders in the Premier League are all worth more than [-] million euros.

Below this worth, don't expect to enter the Champions League at all.

Maldini is also relatively conservative, and only reported a budget of [-] million euros.

After all, [-] million euros only means that there is a chance of reaching the Champions League, but if you want to be more stable, it is best to have a total worth of more than [-] million euros.

"It's not a problem, but I hope to see more talented players join the team instead of some rotten fish and shrimp."

Shen Hao is not short of money, he has the ammunition provided by the system, and he doesn't hesitate to fight with those oil tycoons.

"Thank you for your trust in me. I will help you bring Special Olympics to the team, but you need to pay a very high transfer fee."

Maldini didn't expect the new boss to be so forthright, it was [-] million euros, and he agreed without even frowning.

The boss is so powerful, and he is the leader of the team in charge of transfer matters, so he must perform well.

Therefore, Theo Fernandez is the meeting gift that Maldini prepared for Shen Hao.

"Oh?"

Shen Hao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Maldini to be so powerful that he was able to abduct this left back who had been looted by many wealthy families to Southampton.

"Paul, the transfer fee is not a problem. I think many stars can be bought, such as Nkunku, Lautaro, Barrera, they can all be bought."

Shen Hao has also done research recently, but the names he mentioned are all the existences that have been looted by many wealthy teams, and any one of them is the core of the team.

Maldini also wiped off his sweat, looked at Marsala, and said dumbfoundedly: "Boss, these players are very good, but they have one thing in common, that is, their value is ridiculously high. If we bring them all in, we Spending a billion euros is not necessarily enough."

"Moreover, we also need to consider the Financial Fair Play Act. If the fiscal deficit is too serious, we may face penalties such as suspension."

"Of course, we have every means to circumvent this so-called bill."

Of course, Shen Hao understood that the so-called financial fairness was just a joke.

It is nothing more than the means to protect traditional giants and limit the rise of new giants.

For example, the transfer fee can be negotiated to be paid in installments over several years, and the major shareholders increase the amount of sponsorship for the team. Don't use too many such means.

In short, as long as there is money, UEFA is the younger brother.

Waiting for Maldini and Marsala, Semens left.

Shen Haocai leisurely went to swim a few laps in the yacht's swimming pool, and turned on the TV on the yacht to watch the local news.

Even in Madrid, Shen Hao still attracted a lot of attention.

The local media in Spain also reported on his yacht.

The reporters gathered near the yacht were not only the domestic ones, but even some Spanish local media reporters.

When Maldini and the others walked off the yacht, they were instantly surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

Fortunately, he was escorted by bodyguards arranged by Shen Hao, so he was able to fight his way out from the siege of many reporters.

Sitting in the car, Maldini had a complicated look on his face. He felt a little bit sorry for poaching the corner of his old club, but he became firm in an instant.

Not everyone has the opportunity to build a giant team from scratch.

Shen Hao gave him the right, so he must be worthy of his annual salary.

……

three days later.

AC Milan officially announced: "Thank you, Special Olympics, we climbed to the top of Italy together, I wish you good luck, forever Predator!"

Many Milan fans were dumbfounded, refreshing the team's official website over and over again in disbelief.

But no matter how it is refreshed, the content of this official announcement has not changed at all.

Soon, a reporter got first-hand information that AC Milan was knocked out by Southampton.

The transfer fee of 6000 million euros is paid in installments over five years, and the player himself has revealed that he is willing to join Southampton. AC Milan has no reason to force them to stay.

In this transfer, Maldini played a huge role.

After all, Special Olympics is the star he unearthed by himself. It can be said that he is the godfather of Special Olympics.

This is just the beginning.

For a team, the head coach is the brain, but currently there are very few top coaches available who can commit themselves to marrying Southampton.

Either the reputation is too low for Shen Hao to look down upon.

Either a super big name, thinking about asking for the right to transfer, Maldini can't tolerate it.

In the end, Maldini finalized the candidate, Villarreal's coach Unai Emery, took the yellow submarine to double kill Bayern's ruthless people.

Emery's annual salary is only 500 million euros, and Southampton directly sent a contract with an annual salary of 800 million euros.

Faced with such a temptation, Emery is also difficult to solve.

What's more, the Premier League is the world's number one league. Waterloo at Arsenal was also an unforgettable shame for Emery.

Emery, who is now famous and wants to return to the Premier League to prove himself, signed the head coach contract.

The news of the joining of a world-class coach once again made countless Southampton fans feel excited.

First, the left back of a giant like AC Milan, Theo Fernandez was won by 6000 million euros.

Turning around and successfully letting Emery join, it is true that all old Southampton fans can't believe it.

Changing to a rich boss is different.

This is not over yet, even the team he has played for for many years, Maldini has poached people.

The rival Inter Milan is the focus of being poached by Maldini.

Inter Milan's financial situation has not been very optimistic. Su Ning is eager to sell players as much as possible to ease the tense financial situation of the group.

Zhang Kangyang is no stranger to Maldini, an old opponent, but he didn't expect that the opponent would play for his compatriots. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. It's really fate.

But Zhang Kangyang did not expect that Maldini's appetite was astonishing, and he wanted to buy Barrera, Bastoni, and Lautaro Martinez in a package.

Your uncle, if I really agree, the Inter Milan fans can tear me apart, believe it or not?
"1.8 million euros, if you agree, we will buy these three players in one package!"

It was the first time that Maldini felt so good, the feeling of throwing money at the enemy was so cool!

"1.8 billion?!!!"

Zhang Kangyang couldn't help swallowing, if he hadn't been a little rational, he really wanted to agree in one breath.

That's 1.8 million euros!

Many teams can't sell this price, and he only needs to sell three players.

But calm down, Zhang Kangyang sighed.

Unless he doesn't want to mess around anymore, Inter Milan fans will definitely kill him.

Selling three main players at once will definitely lead to a collapse in performance next season.

At this moment, Marotta, the CEO of Inter Milan next to Zhang Kangyang, suddenly envied Maldini.

Not everyone can play for a rich boss like him.

Marotta and Maldini are also considered old rivals, and they used to compete with each other to poach each other's corners.

But now, Maldini defected to a super-rich boss, and threw money at him after changing hands, which really made him a little unbalanced.

Everyone used to pick and search, so don't make fun of the second brother.

But now that people have money, their confidence is different.

In the end, Maldini only talked about Lautaro Martinez.

The transfer fee of 7000 million euros will be paid in installments over five years, and Inter Milan is willing to cooperate.

After all, there are not many wealthy buyers in the market. Buying stars of this level in installments of four to five years has become an unspoken rule for many wealthy teams.

Calculated, it only needs to pay 1400 million euros per year, and Southampton will take Inter Milan's head striker Lautaro Martinez.

As for the player himself?

Maldini has plenty of ways to deal with him!

After leaving Inter Milan, Maldini began to poach corners non-stop.

The introduction of Paul Torres and Danjuma from Villarreal cost [-] million euros and was paid in five-year installments.

The introduction of Nkunku from RB Leipzig cost [-] million euros and was paid in five-year installments.

Paul Torres and Danjuma are Maldini's meeting gift to Emery. After all, they are also Emery's confidantes in Villarreal.

As for Nkunku, it was really bleeding.

Without Shen Hao's support, Maldini would not have dared to hit Nkunku.

That's [-] million euros!

Even if you look at today's football, there are very few players who can afford this transfer fee.

Who made this product so popular in the Bundesliga, it has been closely watched by countless giants.

If it weren't for Maldini's hard lobbying, it would be difficult to fool the players.

Compared with those giants, Southampton's past is too pale.

Even the die-hard fans of Southampton feel a little unreal about the joining of the hottest stars in world football.

This is the real world, not the FIFA22 you play.

Obviously, Maldini, who holds a lot of money, will not stop buying and buying.

6000 million euros, smashed Leverkusen's winger Diaby.

6500 million euros to introduce Sevilla defender Conde.

5000 million euros to get Naples' Magic Flute successor Fabian Ruiz.

5000 million euros to introduce defender Araujo from Barcelona, ​​which has a serious financial deficit.

1.2 million euros to introduce goalkeepers Kerber and Bellingham from Dortmund.

In addition to these stars, there are also some powerful players, and Maldini just mentioned it casually.

At this time, Southampton has formed an extremely luxurious lineup. Even against those European giants, Maldini and Emery are full of confidence.

Which of these stars is not the treasure of each team, the existence that is looted by the giants?
In order to get these stars, Maldini had several extra gray hairs, and spent a lot of effort.

Of course, in order to avoid the Financial Fair Play Act, these transfer fees will be paid in five years, and individual players will be paid in four installments.

Even so, the total worth of these players exceeded [-] million euros, which far exceeded the budget Shen Hao originally specified.

Even divided into five years, it would cost 1.6 million euros per year.

Fortunately, the Premier League broadcast fee + tickets are barely enough to pay the salaries of these players, and the transfer fee is to fill the deficit through sponsorship.

It can be said that during this summer transfer period, Southampton is the focus of all media reports.

Well-known players were bought by Southampton, which became popular on social media.

The current total value of Southampton has already ranked among the top five in the world, and even among the top three in the Premier League, only slightly worse than Manchester City and Liverpool.

Next season, Emery will focus on 442 tactics.

Forwards: Lautaro Martinez, Danjuma.

Midfield: Diaby, Fabian Ruiz, Bellingham, Nkunku.

Defenders: Theo Fernandez, Araujo, Paultorres, Conde.

Goalkeeper: Kerber.

To be reasonable, such a lineup, even in FIFA, would take a lot of effort to set up.

All stars have a minimum worth of 4000 million euros.

On the bench, there are still many titans, generally worth more than ten million euros.

The season tickets for next season were sold out by the fans directly, and the fans who didn't get the fans were even more regretful.

The combination of so many world-class stars makes their blood boil just thinking about it.

After spending so much money, Southampton's goal has changed from the top four to the championship.

The strength of this lineup is almost as good as Manchester City and Liverpool, and the coach is also well-known. It makes no sense not to fight for the championship.
