After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 828 - 0296 Battle of Luzhniki (Subscribe Requested)
It was almost midnight when I got home after the match.
Huang Kaiwen watched two episodes of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" before going to bed.
Playing Barca is never easy.
Didn’t feel anything before sleep.
But after sleeping for more than 10 hours, it was 11 AM when he woke up.
Just saw the young miss preparing lunch when he came downstairs.
"When did you get to Madrid?"
Huang Kaiwen asked in surprise.
"Not long ago, things have been a bit easier these past few days."
The young miss turned her head and smiled.
"Perfect, you can relax for a few days." Huang Kaiwen said with a laugh.
The young miss rolled her eyes and said, "We could relax if we slept separately. Unfortunately, Lily has been busy with her studies lately, so I convinced her not to come."
"She should focus on her studies."
Huang Kaiwen nodded and said.
"There’s some big news in today’s papers."
The young miss blinked and said.
Huang Kaiwen saw the newspaper on the table and sat down to read it.
"World Sports News": "The fan who stormed the pitch to assault Xavi may face a lifetime ban from the stadium."
Usually, similar actions result in similar penalties.
Huang Kaiwen remembered such news, even if not a lifetime ban, it would still be a ban for decades, nothing more to say.
Reading further, Huang Kaiwen understood what the young miss was referring to.
"AS Newspaper": "Former Real Madrid president Florentino Perez provided us with some evidence regarding Calderon’s bribery and other matters. This former Real Madrid president decided to break ties with his friend, he told us: No matter what, he couldn’t accept Calderon’s actions, and he would find a way to impeach Calderon. Florentino proposed a new slogan: Make Real Madrid Great Again. We are very skeptical as Real Madrid is already great, maybe he plans to lead Real Madrid to the moon?"
"AS Newspaper" has become Calderon’s mouthpiece since he took office, their first-hand information also comes from within Real Madrid.
Whereas "Marca" and other newspapers don’t enjoy such privileges.
"Le Monde": "Calderon has serious financial issues, it’s said he even uses Real Madrid’s credit card to buy coffee. Whether he evades taxes is also questionable. His actions clearly do not befit the best team of the 21st century, he is just a beggar with a tie." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Huang Kaiwen had only one comment — useless.
Because of his popularity, Calderon certainly gained more benefits.
In such a situation, if he still uses Real Madrid’s money for personal expenses and gets caught, it’s solely his own fault.
Florentino had his own scandals back then, European football is all about political football.
Whether it’s membership-based or clubs like Inter Milan owned by their presidents, they all have such news. Small teams with poor performance or fallen giants like Hamburg have plenty of such messy affairs too.
It mainly depends on the performance.
If the performance is good, even the fans will defend whatever you do.
Huang Kaiwen felt Calderon should be able to hold on for a while longer.
The current locker room environment is excellent, and Real Madrid’s performance is not bad, the only thing fans criticize is Capello’s tactical style. The league title is already secured this season, and there’s still the UEFA Champions League final to come.
Even if Florentino causes trouble, Calderon shouldn’t be unable to withstand it.
The young miss placed the tray on the table and asked, "Did you see it?"
"Yes, no big deal."
Huang Kaiwen laughed and said.
Calderon’s kickbacks have nothing to do with the Yellow Ball King.
The young miss helped Huang Kaiwen set the table, sat down and said worriedly, "Florentino Perez is more capable than Calderon, but I feel he is very arrogant. If he indeed returns to Real Madrid, I fear he might target you."
Huang Kaiwen almost wanted to give the young miss a thumbs up.
Florentino’s arrogance is not ordinary, huh?
Being able to say, "It’s time to show UEFA what kind of club Real Madrid is," clearly shows Florentino’s mindset.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "At worst, I’ll buy out my contract and go back to Milan. You can support me."
"Really, when!?"
The young miss counted on her fingers and said, "Just in time, your new contract has a €50 million reduction in the buyout clause, so with a €200 million buyout plus taxes, it’s about €260 million to €270 million."
"It’s not that time yet."
Huang Kaiwen quickly reassured her.
That’s all Mr. Huang’s money.
Spending over €2 billion to buy himself out, isn’t that insane.
Milan can’t afford that, even though the young miss has been injecting capital, she has also been spending it.
Even without building a new stadium, the wages of so many attacking players, and the renovations of Milanello, all these aspects have used up some money. Milan’s remaining funds are basically for transfer fees and the startup capital for the new stadium, any remaining funds are not much.
Previously taking Mata from Real Madrid, Gourcuff from France, and Balotelli could be sold in the summer, Milan should have some income.
But even so, Milan doesn’t have that much spare money.
If a contract buyout were to happen, regardless of where Mr. Huang goes, this money shouldn’t come from the club. It would be like Neymar’s transfer to Paris, the player getting money from the club owner to buy out his contract, to minimize the impact on the club’s financial health.
FFP isn’t out yet, but the word is already out.
UEFA held an industry forum to discuss similar regulations.
