"5000 million euros, absolutely impossible."

What Rist said was categorical.At present, Rist and Barcelona have almost negotiated. From the transfer fee to Rist's commission, Messi's signing bonus, and Messi's salary, Rist and Barcelona have reached an agreement.Even how to avoid high taxes, everyone has already talked about it.But on the final liquidated damages item, Rist and Barcelona have very big differences.

"Joan, Texiqui, I have been doing business in Spanish football for so many years, I believe you all understand that I have a principle for setting up liquidated damages. That is to set up liquidated damages at ten times the after-tax salary. If the membership fee is higher than this, then the liquidated damages will be based on the transfer fee."

Rist has been doing business in La Liga for more than ten years.At the beginning, it was ten times the pre-tax salary, and as the player's salary continued to increase, it became ten times the after-tax salary.Of course, if ten times the after-tax salary is not as high as the player's original transfer fee, then the liquidated damages will automatically become the amount of the transfer fee.

This situation is not unusual.The transfer fee of many young players is very high, but the salary is not as high as expected.The salary of many young talents in the giants is about 200 million euros after tax.But their transfer fee is easily 3000 million euros.When the time comes to break the contract, King List will be subject to the transfer fee.

Riester is flexible on this principle.But the final amount of liquidated damages fluctuates around ten times the after-tax salary.Never deviates too much.Up and down will not exceed ten million euros.

Now Rist and Barcelona are stuck here.Barcelona proposed to set up a liquidated damages of 5000 million euros, but Riester firmly disagreed.Messi's salary has risen sharply after arriving in Barcelona this time.But the annual salary after tax is just over 600 million euros.Therefore, Riester requested the establishment of a liquidated damages of 6000 million euros.

"Rist, 6000 million euros is simply impossible. We also spent 6000 million euros to introduce Messi this time, and it is impossible for us to agree to only 6000 million liquidated damages."

Laporta shook his head.This time, in order to introduce Messi from among the many powerful players, Barcelona can be said to have suffered a lot.The liquidated damages are set at 6000 million euros, and they will never agree.If Messi performed well in Barcelona, ​​wouldn't it be obvious that 6000 million euros would be poached?Especially now that there are so many upstarts, maybe one upstart took away Messi with 6000 million euros, and then Barcelona will be beaten.

"Joan, if you want to set a liquidated damages of 5000 million euros, you can give Leo a salary of 500 million euros after tax. 5000 million euros is absolutely impossible. I can make a little concession. According to the bonus in the contract I think that if Leo scores in double figures in goals and assists in a season, his income is estimated to be more than 700 million euros. In this case, let’s set up a liquidated damages of 7000 million euros.”

"No."

Laporta shook her head again.Although it is impossible for him to clearly remember the future transfer market, he always finds Rist to be difficult to deal with.To be honest, La Liga has a lot of liquidated damages.In particular, the liquidated damages of La Liga giants are related to the degree of emphasis.Like Barcelona have some young players who value it.When they were eighteen or nineteen, the liquidated damages were hundreds of millions of euros.

In fact, the liquidated damages of hundreds of millions of euros is not due to any other reasons.It's just Barcelona telling the outside clubs.This player is very important to Barcelona, ​​that's all.Few agents bargain with clubs for liquidated damages.

Just like Valdes, Deco, Ronaldinho, Henry, they are all like this now.They all have high liquidated damages, and their agents don't object.After all, European football has developed so far if players really want to leave.It is difficult for the club to stay tough, including these giants.

Therefore, Laporta really can't understand why Rist is so entangled in liquidated damages.Does Rist really want someone to take away Messi at the price of liquidated damages?Once the liquidated damages are paid, there will be high taxes.Like Messi, if the liquidated damages are 6000 million euros, if the liquidated damages are used to poach people, the money spent by then is estimated to reach hundreds of millions of euros.Although he didn't understand, Laporta was very careful with Rist.He always felt that Rist was too dangerous.That's why he was quarreling with Rist on the liquidated damages item. If it was another player's 7000 million euros, Laporta might agree.

"Huo An, I have already given in. If you continue like this, it will be very difficult to negotiate this contract."

Unlike Laporta, Riester is very clear about the future European football transfer market. 6000 million euros and 7000 million euros are all easily obtained.

看看克里斯蒂亚诺.罗纳尔多的转会费、贝尔的转会费、卡卡的转会费、卡瓦尼和法尔考他们的转会费、厄齐尔的转会费。现在的欧足坛完全是想象不到的转会费。到了那个时候，只要是实力强大的球员转会费多是往4000万欧元以上叫。4000万欧元、5000万欧元、6000万欧元、甚至8000万欧元、上亿欧元都是能够出现的。

"How about [-] million euros?"

Laporta saw that Rist attached so much importance to liquidated damages. Although he didn't understand it very well, he didn't want to let Rist get what he wanted.Hearing [-] million euros, Rist still shook his head.

"I broke this rule in Barcelona today, how can I negotiate contracts with other clubs in the future. 8000 million euros, this is the last concession. I think if Barcelona has a championship, according to the bonus share, Rio should be able to get it Around 800 million euros. Anything above 8000 million, I will not agree."

Laporta thought for a while and nodded slowly.A lot of energy has been put into introducing Messi to Barcelona, ​​and even Ronaldinho is ready to sell.Now that the contract has come to this point, it would be a joke if they failed to agree on a liquidated damages issue.

8000 million euros, although it is more than 5000 million euros less than the original 7000 million euros.But Laporta was not too disappointed.Because 8000 million euros is already very high, it would be crazy if someone really took away Messi with a liquidated damages of 8000 million euros.Because high taxes will be added at that time.There are other expenses estimated to cost at least 4000 million euros.Laporta does not believe that anyone has such courage to spend so much money to buy a player.

"Huo An, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Rist was very happy. 8000 million euros seems a lot. Once Florentino takes over Real Madrid two years later, 8000 million euros will be nothing.If any club can introduce Messi with 4000 million euros in two or three years, it is estimated that they will not be able to close their mouths.Now it seems that hundreds of millions of euros is a lot, but by then, hundreds of millions of euros will be nothing.In order to introduce Messi, they will not feel bad if they spend [-] million.

…………

On May 2007, 5, the Barcelona club suddenly announced that they had signed PSV Eindhoven's top talent Messi.They signed Messi to a four-year contract.Messi's transfer has been rumored since January this year.Now finally came the result.

How much did Barcelona spend on Messi?Barcelona are not hiding.Barcelona announced that it spent 600 million euros to introduce Messi.Messi's transfer broke the record for the highest transfer fee of a U21 player.The highest before this was Wayne Rooney who transferred to Manchester United. His transfer fee was 700 million euros, and Messi raised this record by nearly [-] million euros.How exactly the money was spent was not explained.

But people like Rist are well aware of it.In order to introduce Messi.Barcelona is really bleeding.The transfer fee in cash alone was 2000 million euros to Eindhoven and 400 million euros to Riester.And it's not over yet.stated in the transfer contract.If Messi wins the Copa del Rey for Barcelona during the contract period, which is four years, he will pay an extra million euros, the La Liga champion will pay an extra 200 million euros, and the Champions League champion will pay an extra 400 million euros.

If Mengsan is as strong as in history, then in the end, the total transfer fee that Eindhoven and Riester can get from Barcelona must be more than 6000 million euros.Because Mengsan has been the champion every year since the 0809 season.Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey.The number of other cup champions is unknown.In other words, Barcelona needs to continue to pay the remaining transfer fee.

In order to snatch Messi, Barcelona paid Riester a commission of 600 million euros, a salary share of 240 million euros, and gave Messi a signing bonus of 500 million euros.After these, Barcelona spent more than 6000 million euros to introduce Messi this summer.If the contract is fulfilled, a total of more than [-] million euros will be spent for Messi and Barcelona.

Rist is very excited.Messi has not earned much money for Rist in Eindhoven these years.That little money is not a lot compared to the money Rist invested in training Messi back then.But this time Messi's transfer allowed Rist to earn an astonishing amount at once.

先是拿到了梅西一半所有权两千400万欧元，当然并没有全额拿到。巴塞罗那希望分期两年把这笔钱交完，这个夏天里斯特拿到了一千500万欧元，剩下的900万欧元巴塞罗那愿意明年夏天支付。然后就是600万欧元的佣金和240万欧元的薪水分成。光是这部分里斯特就拿到了3000多万欧元。

And importantly, there are some follow-up clauses.That is Messi's achievements in Barcelona. If there are more championships, then Rist and Eindhoven will continue to receive transfer fees.The follow-up transfer to Frist is estimated to be able to get 700 million euros at least.

This year has been Rist's best year yet.One Manchester City has brought Riester more than 2000 million euros in revenue, and one Messi has more than 3000 million euros in revenue.It is already very simple, more than 5000 million euros, almost 6000 million euros in revenue.This is only visible, other players' salary sharing, players' commercial income sharing, etc., this year, there is no problem with Rist's income exceeding [-] million yuan.After all, the European football transfer market has not yet fully opened, and there are not a few players who will transfer this summer.

But no matter what it was, this transfer caused a sensation in European football.Many media are trying to figure out how much Barcelona spent and whether Messi can adapt to Barcelona.Messi, a super genius, can't make Barcelona, ​​which has fallen into a trough this season, go regular.
