Chapter 387: Transfer Storm

However, Hansen's contract extension is not the most important transfer for Barcelona this summer, as Barcelona lost the title last season and was beaten by Real Madrid, and suffered the humiliation of welcoming rivals at the Bernabeu, so Barcelona's investment in the transfer market this summer is extremely strong. Renewing the contract with an annual salary of 6.6 million for the top scorer of the Beijing Olympics Han Sen is just part of it.

In the 07-08 season, Barça's total income was as high as 308.8 million euros, and despite the expenditure of 292.6 million euros, Barça's total profit after deducting taxes was still as high as 10.1 million euros. However, as the team failed to win the championship for the second year in a row, the opposition led by Russell staged a coup d'état this summer, just as Han Sen was in Beijing for the Olympics, hoping that the current board of directors, led by Laporta, would resign. However, during that unusually difficult time, Laporta was not crushed by the pressure, and the Barcelona president knew that only by rebuilding a team of kings could he win popular support.

The club were the first to sign Keita, and when he joined for €14 million, the club rushed to settle Pique (€500). Subsequently, Cáceres (16.5 million), Alves (29.5 million), Hleb (14 million) and others successively lifted the Barcelona jersey, and at the same time, the club's top management pushed Guardiola, who has no first-team coaching experience, to the forefront. The intensity of this integration storm is huge, and the club's 100-year history is probably unparalleled, and Han Sen's successful contract renewal is only the end of this transfer storm. The introduction of new signings was accompanied by a purge of players. Ronaldo, Deco, Dos Santos, Edmilson, Zambrotta, Thuram, Oleg, Escuero and others recovered 53 million euros for the team. Another thing to emphasise, as in previous seasons. La Masia's academy is still poached, with Celtic in the Soviet Super League spending only 500,000 euros to take young academy youngster Croozas away, while second team left winger Igoa, known as "White Ronaldo", switched to Juventus for zero before the transfer window closed.

Barcelona spent a lot of money. Crazy to recruit new signings, and compared with Barcelona, Real Madrid's recruitment budget is definitely not lost, and financial director Arroyo even released cruel words "There is no upper limit on the recruitment budget". However, Real Madrid wanted to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for 80 million euros, but the acquisition of Grape Man failed, and the club then signed the powerful player Van der Vaart for 13 million euros. Before the transfer window closes. Real Madrid had made an offer of €60 million for Villa, but Valencia withstood the pressure at Zuihou and did not sell Villa.

But. It was not unwise that Han Sen did not choose to stay in Mallorca at the beginning, just after Han Sen returned to Barcelona, Mallorca's Guiza, Gutiérrez, and Ibargasa, the three important ministers who had impacted the European Union with Han Sen, also left the team en masse, especially Han Sen's old partner Guiza. After winning the La Liga Golden Boot. He scored in the European Championship again, his value skyrocketed, and it was imperative to leave Mallorca.

The total transfer expenditure of the entire five major European leagues this summer exceeded 1.6 billion, although it was not as good as the 2.285 billion at this time last year, but it was also the second largest investment in history.

The Premier League, which used to be accustomed to creating European champions in a big way, seems to have died down this year, with C. Ronaldo, Adebayo, Drogba and others failing to make it, and Chelsea's introduction of Robinho was blocked. It wasn't until Zuihou that Robinho joined Manchester City for €42 million. Once again, the Premier League has created a European transfer standard.

In Serie A, Inter Milan, who once wanted to win Han Sen, under the big pen of the new coach Mourinho, finally won the coach's compatriot and Porto winger Quaresma a day before the transfer period, with a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros, after Mourinho had spent 13 million euros to poach Brazilian winger Mancini from Rome, Ghana midfielder Muntari also spent 15 million euros from Portsmouth, and Inter Milan spent a total of 52.8 million euros in the summer. After removing 7 million sales income, the net expenditure was 45.8 million, the highest in Serie A.

However, after seeing these transfer news, especially the purchase of Inter Milan, Han Sen couldn't help but ask Binyan, since this Mourinho can buy and sell players for more than 10 million euros at every turn, Weishenme treated himself so stingily at that time, and has been pressing the transfer price below 10 million euros.

Binyan explained that at that time, Inter Milan saw that Han Sen was a potential stock, and naturally wanted to take Han Sen at a low price, but as Han Sen rose in the Olympic Games, this price began to be unbearable, until Zuihou had to give up and buy other players.

Binyan told Han Sen that the reason why he was not able to sell a Chinese player at the highest price ever through Inter Milan and Mourinho is that Han Sen does not have an EU passport, although Serie A does not have an EU passport quota limit, but the cost of negotiation including introduction will increase, and the second and most important thing is that a mature manager like Mourinho has his own agent and player market, like Quaresma above, Mourinho can even profit from such a transfer, so it is natural to inflate prices without restrictions, and Han Sen's GRD company in Binyan and Mourinho's brokerage company are not all the way, so it seems normal that the price has been repeatedly suppressed.

"Don't worry, you are now the highest value ever worth of Chinese footballers, and in the sports world, it is estimated that Yao Ming's worth can surpass you." Binyan enlightened Han Sen.

"I'm not fighting for this, I just think some things are a little interesting, and I want to learn more." Han Sen looked at the time, "Let's go, go to Wei Min, he said to find me a good house." ”

Han Weimin chose a high-end villa in Sant Cugat, a wealthy area of Barcelona, with a land area of more than 480 square meters, and a construction area of more than 720 square meters, with a total of three floors, 8 rooms, 4 living rooms and 6 bathrooms.

Since this is a second-hand house, most of the decoration is ready-made, as long as the daily necessities and bedding are renovated, Han Sen also lives in Mallorca this kind of house, but of course, in terms of the layout of the courtyard, it can't be compared with this villa.

Han Weimin said that the original consulate general also had part of the property rights of this house, which was used for high-end reception in his free time, but now because of the changes in domestic policies and the reduction of the three public funds, this kind of high-end reception can not be maintained later, so he and the original owner are ready to sell together.

"Dare to love this, this is what your consulate general is leftover!" Although Han Sen said this in his mouth, he looked really satisfied, after all, this is a standard rich area, the transportation is convenient, there are not many people, and there is a police station not far away, from safety to convenience, it is the best choice.

But Han Weimin, who often walks on the table when he says this, is still a little embarrassed: "Actually, it doesn't cost much money, 1.2 million." ”

"Renminbi?" Han Sen joked.

"Nonsense, of course euros!" Han Weimin was forced to explode foul.

Binyan said with a smile on the side: "Han Sen, you are content, more than 10 million, it is not impossible to buy a villa in Beijing, then it is estimated that every day when you push the door out, the mobile phone has to say that Hebei Mobile welcomes you." Besides, when you have a chance in the future, you can change it again. ”

Han Sen patted Han Weimin on the shoulder: "For the sake of Mr. Bin's face, then it's OK." ”

Han Weimin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I said Han Sen, you are also an international superstar, don't joke about it." ”

Han Sen hummed contentedly: "I see that your villa has such a large garage, and when your Consulate General was engaged in high-end reception, you didn't leave a few cars in it to pack and sell to me?" ”

"......" Han Weimin was speechless, "Your motorcycle is still parked in my consulate, and I will have someone send it to you later." ”

After some flickering, Han Sen also solved the big problem of accommodation in Barcelona, and then there was another big thing, which was what Binyan said before, to reorganize his team and increase the number of people. However, these must be put aside for the time being, because the new season of La Liga is imminent, and this weekend will start, and Han Sen has not officially gone to meet the first team players!
