v4 Chapter 1096： Debt quagmire

Cristiano Ronaldo eventually moved to La Liga Barcelona!

As soon as July entered, Barcelona could not wait to officially announce the transfer of this superstar that shocked the world.

This also announced that Barcelona in the new season will have the most luxurious and top star lineup in the world, and even stars like Sanchez have to sit on the bench at the Camp Nou, showing how amazing Barcelona's lineup is.

The transfer fee is as high as 100 million euros, which is equal to the world transfer fee record set by Yang Yang when he joined Real Madrid four years ago. Not only that, the Portuguese ’s annual salary in Barcelona will also reach an amazing 16 million euros, tax Rear!

Just in February of this year, Barcelona just reached a renewal agreement with Messi, raising Messi ’s liquidated damages to a staggering 250 million euros, and also increased the after-tax annual salary to 16 million euros. World football is second only to Real Madrid's Yang Yang and Russia's Super League Eto'o.

And now, Barcelona gives Cristiano Ronaldo the same salary as Messi, and they are all after-tax, which is undoubtedly quite surprising, because it means that Barcelona will carry a heavier salary burden.

After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Barcelona, ​​Yang Yang ranked first in the world player salary list with an after-tax annual salary of 25 million euros. Real Madrid is still actively renewing his contract, but this time Yang Yang Instead of asking for a salary increase, I wanted to maintain the current status quo.

Eto'o ranked second with 20 million euros, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo tied for third, followed by Ibrahimovic of Paris Saint-Germain, Iniesta and Neymar of Barcelona, ​​they The annual salary is expected to be around 15 million euros.

That is to say, in the current top ten of the world football salary list, Barcelona has occupied four seats, which is quite an amazing number, and it also proves that Barcelona has the most luxurious top lineup in the world. It is also burdened by salary pressures outside the imagination.

Even so, on the day Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Barcelona, ​​tens of thousands of Barcelona fans still flocked to the Camp Nou stadium to witness the joining of the Portuguese superstar.

Everyone believes that he will become another Portuguese superstar who shines in Barcelona after Figo, and will also become another Ronaldo, helping Barcelona overthrow Real Madrid's rule in La Liga.

This is a crazy personal show. The addition of Cristiano Ronaldo triggered an earthquake all over the world. Many fans are cheering for this amazing transfer. At the same time, they are also cheering for the new season of La Liga, especially Barcelona. Full of expectations.

Numerous media are competing to report that Barcelona, ​​who has just won the Champions League, will continue to rule European football after receiving Cristiano Ronaldo, and Real Madrid, which has begun to reduce investment in the past two years, will be eliminated in the new season. .

Major betting companies in Europe have also opened their odds. Barcelona are the best in the La Liga, Kings Cup and Champions League championships, and they are far ahead, proving that the joining of superstars has greatly improved the outside world ’s Barcelona. Optimistic.

In contrast, Real Madrid, although still ranked second, but the momentum is obviously not as good as before.

Everyone believes that the combination of Yang Yang, Robben, Hazard and Di Maria will be overshadowed by Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Sanchez.

While the outside world was turbulent and launched a crazy craze for Barcelona, ​​the Spanish Confidential reported a report quietly and forwarded the Forbes statistical report. The report shows that although Real Madrid missed the Champions League last season, the entire With a revenue of 670 million euros this season, it is far ahead of all sports clubs in the world.

€ 670 million!

What an amazing number is this?

It can be said that it is a figure that is difficult for all the rich teams to imagine, and even can't believe it!

According to the Forbes report, Real Madrid's revenue has been rising continuously for four consecutive years. The revenue of 670 million euros mainly comes from three parts: the revenue of game broadcasting rights, the revenue of game days and the revenue of commercial sponsorship. A little more, commercial sponsorship revenue accounts for nearly half of Real Madrid ’s fiscal revenue.

Forbes also deeply analyzed Real Madrid's business revenue, and believed that the fastest growth was in North America and Asia. This is a key area where all the major teams are competing to develop in the past few years, and Real Madrid is relying on the top star Yang Yang. Momentum, in these two areas is like a broken bamboo, harvesting like crazy.

In contrast, in the past few years, although Barcelona has also been committed to developing the North American and Asian markets, but the financial revenue is only 490 million euros, far behind Real Madrid, and this is the situation where Barcelona won the Champions League. under.

The Confidential also revealed that Real Madrid has added huge debts due to the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the construction of the office building of the Valdebebas training base. However, due to the extremely low debt interest and the long time, based on Real Madrid ’s current financial revenue There is no pressure on the loan repayment ability and no burden.

On the contrary, it was Barcelona. During Laporta ’s administration, the team ’s debt was as high as 430 million euros. This is a disastrous figure. After Russell took office, he has been committed to reducing the team ’s Debt, and spent three years, reduced to 330 million euros, which is regarded as a major achievement of Russell.

However, according to the data disclosed by the Confidential News, due to the huge investment last year to introduce Neymar, coupled with the recruitment of Mathieu and Alexander Song, the team's debt has not decreased in the past year, but has increased some.

Especially this summer, the 100 million euros introduced by Cristiano Ronaldo came from bank loans, which will bring Barcelona ’s debt back to a record high of more than 400 million. Not only that, Cristiano Ronaldo is as high as 1,000. The annual salary of 6 million euros after tax will further aggravate the club's salary expenditures, which is expected to exceed 70% of the team's financial income, which is definitely an unhealthy number.

In contrast, Real Madrid has been controlled between 40% and 50%, which is undoubtedly quite healthy.

The Confidential newspaper believes that Spain ’s economic situation is not good, but Real Madrid ’s business is not losing money but making money. One of the important reasons is the amazing commercial value brought by Yang Yang, coupled with the team ’s outstanding achievements, which has brought the rival Barcelona. The huge psychological pressure caused Barcelona to start an arms race and introduce superstars for two consecutive seasons.

"But Barcelona must have a sober understanding that it is unrealistic to have such a huge superstar army under the condition that its financial revenue cannot catch up with Real Madrid. This will eventually drag Barcelona into a debt quagmire that cannot be extricated."

When Cristiano Ronaldo landed at the Camp Nou with excitement, the report of the Confidential did not attract much attention, and everyone was more excited for the joining of the Portuguese superstar and boiled.

At least, for ordinary Barcelona fans and members, superstars are more attractive than those who do not understand the debt.

The Catalan media also revealed that Neymar is submitting an application with Barcelona, ​​hoping to renew the contract and increase his salary, he hopes to catch up with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and strive to Starting from four years, the annual salary increase is about 10 million euros.

But the Barcelona official ignored the rumors and apparently intended to deal with it coldly.

With the current Barcelona finance, after the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo, it is bound to adopt an open source and throttling method to control the club's expenditure, while looking for new and powerful sponsors to increase the financial revenue of the team, including the jerseys with Qatar Airways Advertising contract, Barcelona hopes to reach 60 million euros to tie Real Madrid.

While the world was still immersed in the earthquake where Cristiano Ronaldo joined Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid quietly officially announced that it would introduce Uruguay striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool at a high price of 50 million euros.

Suarez said in an interview with Uruguay that he already belongs to Real Madrid, and he also apologized for biting Ivanovic.

"A few days ago, Yang Yang called me and I accepted the advice he gave me. I will be counseled by a psychologist in Madrid. I hope to solve this problem."

As for the upcoming Real Madrid trip, Suarez said he was looking forward to it.

"Undoubtedly, I want to play with Yang Yang. He is a great player. In the past, present and future, he is the best in my mind. I think that I can play alongside players like him on the court. Is an honor for all professional players and a pride. "

Suarez promised that he will cooperate with Yang Yang in Real Madrid and devote all of his own.

However, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer, Suarez has no hope of contending in terms of fame or transfer fee, there is no publicity in the outside world, and even many media think that this is Real Madrid. The compromise made in the absence of Aguero ’s situation.

This undoubtedly makes people look further down the prospects of Real Madrid in the new season.

But in fact, Isco, Ililla Ramendi, Danilo, Casemiro and Suarez, Real Madrid have invested more than 130 million euros in the transfer market this summer, and Barcelona have so far, Only one player, Cristiano Ronaldo, was introduced, which cost 100 million euros.

But the superstar's appeal is obviously greater. The addition of the Portuguese superstar has made Barcelona the focus of the European transfer market, while Real Madrid is somewhat eclipsed by comparison.

But Real Madrid is no longer the declining nobility of four years ago. Today's Galaxy battleship is the three consecutive Champions League, the La Liga triple crown, the season's Grand Slam, and last season was also the top strong team of the La Liga double crown. Has already created a spoiled personality, will not and do not need to compete for such a forward.

Because, the best superstar recognized in the world is Real Madrid!
