Football giants

Chapter 664 Super Huge Pit
What's interesting is, if you go back to the source, who caused Inter Milan's current cheating situation?
There is only one answer, and that is Papa Mo!

Yang Huan carefully analyzed the financial report in his hand, and he found a very interesting situation.

Inter Milan's total salary is as high as 3000 million euros, ranking third in Serie A, behind AC Milan's 400 million euros and Juventus' 300 million euros.

Is it something to be happy about?
No, read on!

In terms of club income, Inter Milan still ranks third, with only 600 million euros.

So what about the top two?
AC Milan is as high as 600 million euros, and Juventus is as high as 500 million euros, which is a full [-] million euros higher than Inter Milan!

Roma's revenue ranks fourth in Serie A, with 500 million euros, but their salary expenditure is only 400 million euros.

Naples is even better, with an income of 2000 million euros, but a salary of only 700 million euros.

In addition, in terms of bank debts, Inter Milan is as high as 2000 million, which ranks second in Serie A, second only to AC Milan's 100 million euros. Even if Juventus built a new stadium, they were once reduced to the second division before, but their bank debts are only 600 million euros.

Roma has only 700 million euros, and Naples has only 400 million euros in bank liabilities.

The higher the debt, the higher the interest payment.

Judging from this report, the Milan duo are both super giants!

Whoever steps in will know how it feels!

Especially AC Milan, fortunately, Berlusconi dared to call for a valuation of one billion euros. I am afraid that this is not only about selling the team, but also wanting to take the opportunity to make a fortune!

Yang Huan hastily flipped through the document in his hand, and quickly closed it again.

"Mr. Fassone, I will ask someone to study this report carefully, but I found that something is missing."

A trace of panic flashed in Marco Fassone's eyes, and he glanced at Moratti involuntarily.

In Yang Huan's eyes, this move couldn't be more obvious.

I'm afraid this should be inspired by Moratti!

Unexpectedly, this father Mo, who seems to be an honest person, would secretly keep such a trick.

If those people don't know what to do, I'm afraid they will really be tricked by him.

"What's missing?" Kesh Harris quickly took the report from Master Huan and asked.

He is Yang Huan's investment consultant, and he has been involved in so many team transactions, so he knows better than anyone else that there are a lot of tricks in it, and it is even more common for insiders to dig holes and bury outsiders.

"For the time being, I only found two points. One is that there are no specific clauses on the loan and transfer of Inter Milan players, and the other is the rental and maintenance fees of the Meazza Stadium!"

When Kesh Harris heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Marco Fassone, with reproach in his eyes, as if to say, are you trying to kill me?
Fortunately, Master Huan pointed it out on the spot. If not, if he didn't find out until after the transaction, wouldn't Master Huan suspect that I joined you all to cheat him?

At that time, even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to wash it off!
Where did Marco Fassone dare to look at Kesh Harris again, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

This layman only pays more attention to income and expenditure, as well as debt and other issues. As everyone knows, this is just the surface. For a football club, the transfer terms of players are also quite amazing pitfalls.

As we all know, most of the transfers of players are paid in installments, commonly known as mortgages.

For ordinary player transfers, it would take two or three years, which is perfectly normal. If the amount is relatively high, it would be five or six years, which is quite normal. For example, it took six years for Chelsea to introduce Torres.

Then the problem arises, assuming that a player is worth 6000 million, based on six years, the team will change hands in the third year.

For a big team like Inter Milan, the transfer clauses listed alone may not be many, but when they are all added up, I am afraid it is not a small number. Even if it does not exceed [-] million, tens of millions will definitely not escape.

As for the Meazza Stadium, everyone knows that the Meazza Stadium is also the San Siro Stadium in the mouth of AC Milan fans. The two teams share a stadium, but neither has ownership of the stadium. The ownership of the stadium belongs to the government.

Therefore, both teams have to find the government to lease the stadium, and at the same time bear the maintenance costs of the stadium.

But don't underestimate this fee, at least over ten million euros, this is another trap!

The three of Moratti obviously didn't expect it, Yang Huan just took a cursory glance, and found out all the things they were hiding, and they were all embarrassed and panicked.

How can the negotiation continue like this?

"Mr. Yang Huan, I'm afraid this was accidentally missed when the people in the financial department drafted it in a hurry!"

Blanca, who was sitting next to Moratti, didn't speak until now. Seeing the silence, she immediately came out to defuse the embarrassment, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang Huan, we will draw up a detailed financial report and send it to you later!"

Yang Huan couldn't help but look at Blanca more, this guy is also a smart guy, he knows how to be flexible!

"Okay, I'll send another copy later, don't miss it this time!" Yang Huan didn't continue to pester.

But in his heart, Inter Milan's ranking has dropped rapidly.

On the contrary, he is more and more interested in Naples and Florence.

Originally, Yang Huan was most interested in Udinese. This team did not rank very well in Serie A, but the ability to train young players was second to none in Serie A and even in Europe. Their scouts could always help them find a lot of outstanding star embryos from all over the world, bring them to Serie A, train them, and sell them at a high price.

However, this team belongs to the Italian Pozzo family, who started the football league business much earlier than Yang Huan.

The family owns the world's fourth-largest woodworking and manufacturing company and is known for its control knives.

But it is such a low-key family that acquired Udinese as early as the 80s. After the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis broke out, they entered the professional football field successively, and successively acquired Granada in Spain, the Chilean league giant Audax Italia, and Watford in English football.

Not only that, but they also own shares in La Liga Espanyol and sit on the board of directors.

Recently, I heard that CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria has been acquired again. This team is a frequent visitor to the Champions League.

In addition, it is said that they are still intensively planning to acquire the Austrian League team.

In other words, so far, there are a total of five European professional teams controlled by the Pozzo family, but because most of them are mid-lower teams, they don't receive much attention, so they don't get much attention.

But there is no doubt that what the Pozzo family is doing now is exactly the same as Yang Huan.

They just want to use this football league model to maximize the benefits of professional football resources in their hands.

For example, after they acquired Granada, they rented [-] players to Spain in one go. The purpose was very simple. Through Granada, they trained for this group of Udinese players and accumulated professional league experience.

At present, there are 42 members in the Watford first team, [-] of them are from Udinese, and [-] of them are on loan.

The rationale for this is simple.

It is quite costly for a team to maintain a youth training system alone.

It can be said that no team can support it, except for those top giants.

But if there are two, three, or even many teams running the same youth training system together, in theory, the cost of running this youth training system will not increase much, and the amount that can be apportioned to these teams is very small.

This is the transformation of Udinese in the past few years!
In addition to the Pozzo family, the Red Bull Group from Thailand has also successively invested in the shares of many European professional teams, but this is more like a commercial behavior, more of an advertising method, completely different from Udinese.

But Yang Huan sees farther and has greater ambitions. In theory, it can be regarded as an upgraded version of Udinese's set of ideas!

If possible, he would be very interested in buying Udinese, but the Pozzo family has worked so hard to build such an industrial chain, how could they sell it easily?

While Yang Huan was sighing in his heart, the three of Moratti had already made eye contact.

Fasone took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Yang Huan again.

"Mr. Yang Huan, please rest assured that our presence here proves our sincerity."

Yang Huan's interest in acquiring Inter Milan had already faded in her heart, so she smiled noncommittally and nodded lightly.

"Mr. Moratti is full of confidence in Mr. Yang Huan's management of Inter Milan. Under similar conditions, he is very happy to entrust Inter Milan to you and your team."

Moratti, who hadn't spoken much, sighed deeply and spoke.

"Yes, in my eyes, Inter Milan is like my child, my baby. In the past few years, no matter whether I did it right or wrong, it has passed. I really have no ability to deal with the current situation of Inter Milan."

When he said this, the expression on Moratti's face was full of embarrassment and helplessness.

Back then when Inter Milan was at its poorest, he appeared as a savior and saved Inter Milan.

But now, he has to find a savior for Inter Milan.

In his opinion, this is really indescribable irony.

But what can be done?
Can it be done without selling?
He and his family have no financial resources, no ability, or even the kind of thought to reorganize Inter Milan.

Therefore, the best and most reasonable way is to sell it to a suitable person!
In the past three years, Yang Huan has risen rapidly in European football, but the evaluation of him by insiders is quite high.

Moreover, Yang Huan's connections and relationships in European football are well known.

Not to mention club presidents like Florentino and Russell, even Platini, they all call him brothers and sisters, and they even have to politely call him "Master Huan" in many cases.

It can be seen from this that handing over Inter Milan to Master Huan is an ideal ending.

But Yang Huan is also quite strange. Once he is determined, it is usually difficult to change.

In his view, Inter Milan is a bottomless pit. If he knows it and jumps down, isn't that just making himself guilty?
Besides, it is easy to jump in, but it is difficult to jump out.

Therefore, although Yang Huan didn't say anything, he had already made a verdict against Inter Milan in his heart.

It's just that the three of Moratti obviously don't know, and they are still fighting for the favor of Master Huan.

"Master Huan, we have drawn up three plans here, we can discuss it and see which one is feasible!"

Fasone suggested with a smile.
