Before this, the Real Madrid stars could only enjoy a 90-10, at most an 80-20, split in portrait rights, and there had never been a 50-50 split.

Furthermore, the annual salary for this six-year long contract is... Nine million euros!

The world’s highest salary has landed in La Liga Real Madrid!

Even the other wealthy clubs cannot offer a higher salary than this.

It’s not that they don’t have the money, but there just aren’t players worth this price at the moment.

In the end, Real Madrid even gave Izalelt’s agent and father a five million euro commission to thank them for facilitating this deal!

This super generous contract showcases Real Madrid’s audacity.

Prestigious background, aristocratic demeanor, born for the occasion.

Perhaps many people do not understand, with so many football giants, why did Real Madrid once become so unique.

The answer is demeanor!

The same wealthy clubs have different styles of action, and thus bring different feelings to people.

Some clubs are richer, but when buying and selling players they might use some other tactics, which in the short term seems indeed to save money and make profits, but loses that royal majesty.

Of course, things cannot be generalized, when facing someone like Levi, you really can’t handle him without underhanded tactics.

Poor Great British Imperial Star Kane signed a long contract, only to be tightly bound by Levi afterwards.

Izalelt’s transfer instantly sparked excitement in the transfer market.

At the same time, it injected nuclear power into Real Madrid’s Galaxy Battleship, forcing this battleship to extend its life and show its strength again in the final period.

Just with Izalelt’s joining, the odds of Real Madrid winning various titles next season dropped sharply, suggesting that many people are optimistic about Real Madrid’s prospects next season.

On the AC Milan side, the fans have actually been well-prepared psychologically, so they held a farewell ceremony, sending off Izalelt with blessings, hoping he can smile at the Bernabéu.

But AC Milan, holding 65 million euros, did not spend extravagantly like Inter Milan did last season.

They instead repaid a 50-million-euro debt!

It was only at this point that many fans who were overly optimistic about Serie A realized that the debt problem of major Serie A clubs has reached this severity?

You don’t know until you see it, for real!

It’s not just AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Florence, Rome and others also have similar situations.

The downturn in Serie A cannot be completely covered by winning a Champions League.

Even if it can be covered, only AC Milan can do it.

The other teams might not be making losses, but it’s indeed getting harder and harder for them.

Since AC Milan and the Champions League are mentioned, Bayern Munich must also be talked about.

After losing in this year’s Champions League final, Bayern’s fans did not only furiously attack their original first central defender Apple, but also complained about the inefficacy of their central forward.

One to two!

If only Bayern’s central forward had been more effective in the first half, AC Milan would not have been able to weather the storm!

Thus, once the trade day began, Bayern Munich exhibited their traditional skill, bringing Werder Bremen’s Pavovsky, valued at 25 million euros, to Allianz Arena for 15 million euros.

Werder Bremen ultimately dared not wrestle with Bayern Munich, if they stalled, Pavovsky might even transfer as a free agent in the end.

Bayern Munich can afford to wait, even though Ribeiro, Apple, and others cannot, but Bayern’s higher-ups can. While they won’t easily sell their own players, they won’t spend big on buying players either.

They are not willing to suffer this unjust loss.

But enjoying value for money naturally means missing out on the brand effect brought by "luxury goods".

Furthermore, Southern King opened an excavator budget and dug up Hoffenheim’s main left-back Nikluci, who performed well in the Bundesliga last season for eight million euros.

This player’s market price is about 12 million euros, Southern King spent little money for great results, as usual.

Everyone knows Nikluci well, he was the main player of Italy’s National Youth Team previously, and won the European Youth Championship with Lu Yang.

If not for Praxedes being too strong, young players like Nikluci would have had a great chance to be called up by the National Team.

Such is destiny.

In today’s Italy, midfielders are ironically the most likely to rise to prominence.

The defensive line of old fogeys, each steadier than the last, each with a longer peak period!

Finally, Bayern executed a triple dig, bringing in Schalke 04’s starting goalkeeper Manuel Bauer, who caused them great trouble in the league last season, for 12 million euros.

Bauer is an excellent big youth goalkeeper, so good that he is currently the starting goalkeeper for the German National Team!

Such a national gatekeeper, young no less, ought to be worth over 20 million, right?

But Bayern Munich stands strong, easily bringing Bauer for 12 million, regardless of Schalke 04’s response.

The goalkeeping position received criticism from Bayern’s fans this season.

In fact, from dealing with Apple, it is clear he also lacks trust in his own goalkeepers.

This somewhat reflects the strength of Bayern’s old goalkeepers.

Thus, after this wave of strengthening, Bayern can be said to be strong indeed.

They hold extraordinary enthusiasm for next season’s Champions League, rating higher than Real Madrid for winning, in first place according to predictions!

Over in La Liga, Real Madrid flaunted their strength, while their arch-rival Barcelona remained relatively quiet this season.

The supposed Morici transfer never received a bid.

Instead, they took the main center-back Pirola from Spanish for 10 million euros!

This player was also Lu Yang’s teammate in the Italy National Youth Team.

As a standard Italian central defender, Pirola is stable in defense, has strong organizational and commanding abilities, his foot skills being the key reason why Barcelona chose him.

But after that, Barça made no major moves.

Reportedly, this has to do with subtle changes in Barça’s locker room dynamics this season.

The genuine smiles between Moriera and Mateo, previously close as family, became fewer, and the supporters of both showed clear division, each playing their own part.

Perhaps due to pressure, or feeling the club’s subtle attitude, Moriera somewhat held back his attitude towards the team.

He appeared at nightclubs and other stress-relief places with increasing frequency.

Forming a stark contrast with Mateo who continued intensive training post-vacation.

Moriera even sensed the motives of these media, but he didn’t care, one common disguise of a heartbroken person is indulgence or decadence.

Regarding other leagues, this season Porto, who had matches with San Remo, got dismantled by the Premier League!

Parrot was brought by Liverpool for 16 million euros. Liverpool has a tradition of using and further forging such nimble small central forwards, they believe Parrot can help them.

However, apart from that, Liverpool made no other major moves, which left some Liverpool fans dissatisfied.

They believe the club’s owner is making money rather than investing in Liverpool.

But when they looked at Arsenal next door, their mindset balanced.

And the Argentinian talent Ferreira transferred to Chelsea for 310 million!

It’s normal for Chelsea to have price inflation in player purchases, they can afford to spend.

Ferreira is also happy about the rise in his price, knowing he joined a competitive team. Chelsea has gathered a batch of excellent players, poised for a Champions League challenge at any moment.

The emerging Premier League nobles Tottenham also follow suit this season, made their first move to transform into a giant club, buying some expensive players.

They took Iran’s main central forward Sada Ammon from Zenit St. Petersburg for 22 million euros.

The great clubs are all sharpening their swords, preparing for the coming year.

But while strengthening, everyone also kept eyes on a small city in Northwest Italy — San Remo.

Is this supermarket opening its doors this year?
