Liverpool returned with glory. Before the club held a bus tour to celebrate the championship, the club's official website first published a series of good news about the players' contract renewals.
China Capital had been in Anfield for two years. Under the operation of Wanda Group, Liverpool had made a lot of profits from developing the Asian market. The revenue from the authentic jerseys alone had exceeded 50 million pounds. In addition, the team's sponsors had renewed their contracts and increased their investment. Liverpool F.C. had achieved a huge leap in financial income in two years.
Wanda Group was still facing external pressure on whether to build a new stadium for Liverpool.
But in the short term, they were more focused on promoting and elevating the value of the Liverpool brand.
At this stage, it was necessary to continue to expand investment in the team.
The first to bear the brunt was the increase in the wage system.
Qin Xiong became the Premier League's highest-paid superstar. His £300,000 weekly contract renewal caused a sensation in the United Kingdom!
Later, Gerard was ranked second in the Liverpool team with a £200,000 weekly contract renewal. The huge gap between him and Qin Xiong did not cause a backlash within the team.
Because Gerard's £200,000 weekly salary could also be ranked in the top ten in the Premier League. To be exact, he was ranked fourth!
It was just lower than Rooney and Yaya Touré.
Perhaps this ranking would change in the summer, but it would not make Gerard fall out of the top ten all of a sudden. It was unlikely that he would fall out of the top ten in the next three years.
Other players such as Alonso, Mascherano and others had all received new contracts. Some of their salaries had increased substantially, while others had different salaries due to age and role positioning.
For example, Dirk Kuyt, who would be 31 years old, had also renewed his contract. However, Liverpool would not give him more than £100,000 a week. After all, he was likely to become a substitute player for Liverpool in the next one or two years. His position as the main player this season was not completely guaranteed.
Liverpool announced one after another that they had renewed the contracts of their meritorious players, which made the fans very happy. At the same time, some players announced their departure.
It was officially announced that Aurelio would transfer to the La Liga. Ngog and Babel began to openly contact their next clubs.
After a day of bus tour, Liverpool officially announced the start of the holiday season.
At the same time, Liverpool also announced that they would travel to China for pre-season training in the summer.
Qin Xiong returned to China with his family.
He attended some business events and found that his life was troubled.
Rivertown.
Outside the villa area where he lived, there were not only sports media reporters from all over the country, but also entertainment news reporters, as well as countless fans who had come to wait for Qin Xiong to leave the house and ask for autographs and photos!
There were men and women of all ages.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia stayed in the villa with Qin Ye, not even daring to step out of the house!
Even if he disguised himself and sneaked out of the house to go shopping outside, as long as he was recognized, it would immediately cause a traffic jam!
This could easily lead to chaos.
Qin Xiong also did not understand. Even if he was the most dazzling football player on the planet, he lived in Europe. Although he would occasionally cause fans to crowd around him to take photos and ask for his autograph, at least it would not affect his normal life.
But in China, it had become difficult for him to move an inch.
For two days in a row, he could only ask people to buy necessities and send them to his house. Qin Xiong realized that he could not go on like this.
He called Freddy and poured out his troubles.
Freddy immediately started to solve the problem for him, and really quickly!
He could not stay in China any longer.
Freddy arranged a direct flight to Australia for Qin Xiong and his family of three.
He would go to Australia for a vacation.
On Freddy's island.
When Qin Xiong and his family arrived on Freddy's island, they could finally calm down and enjoy a peaceful life.
When they needed to go out, they would take the children on a boat to the coastal cities in Australia.
Such a small world made Qin Xiong interested in buying an island of his own.
When he and Sylvia drove around Sydney with Qin Ye, he called Freddy and asked about the cost of buying the island and the cost of operating the construction.
In fact, the price of buying an island was not expensive. At least it was cheaper than buying a three-bedroom apartment near the core business district of a first-tier city in China!
Moreover, the Australian government, or other countries around the world that sold private islands, would send a beautiful villa on the island.
But the island's water and electricity facilities, site maintenance, and the construction of other facilities that they needed needed to spend money on themselves.
This was where the real expensive cost of buying a private island was.
For example, how to get on the island and leave the island, there must be water transportation, right?
Buying a small yacht also required a lot of management and maintenance fees every year, and so on.
Qin Xiong was interested in this. He was also very rich, so he handed the matter over to Freddy to handle. As for what the island needed to be bought, that was something that Sylvia would figure out herself.
He only needed a small world where he could be free, quiet and safe, and be free from the world.
Just as Qin Xiong was on vacation, the European football summer transfer war also kicked off.
The Red Devils and Manchester United made necessary signings in the summer.
The veteran Edwin van der Sar announced his retirement at the end of last season. In the summer, Ferguson took the new generation of Spanish genius goalkeeper De Gea from Atlético Madrid!
Ashley Young joined Manchester United to strengthen Manchester United's flank offense. Ryan Giggs was also close to retirement, so it was necessary to strengthen Manchester United's traditional offensive flank.
Ferguson also brought in Phil Jones, an English native who could play as a defensive midfielder and fullback, from Blackburn Rovers to strengthen the defense in the midfield and backfield.
These three signings cost Manchester United more than 50 million pounds, which was not a small investment.
As for the other Manchester team, Manchester City, they had also invested about 50 million pounds in signings, but the impact of the signings was very shocking.
Atlético Madrid's leading striker, Agüero, transferred to Manchester City for 38 million pounds!
At the same time, they also poached the full back Clichy from Arsenal!
There was also the full back, Savich, and the goalkeeper, Pantilimon, to strengthen the lineup.
Manchester City was steadily improving their strength step by step!
On Chelsea's side, it seemed that the boss, Abramovich, was quite disheartened. After firing Ancelotti, he brought in the Portuguese young manager, Andrés Villas-Boas, and then on a small scale in the transfer market, he brought in the rookie midfielder, Romeu, from Barcelona, the goalkeeper, Cottois, from Belgium, and finalized in advance Piazon, who was known as the second Kaka in Brazil.
In total, he spent about 20 million pounds.
On Arsenal's side, Wenger continued to recruit young players, taking two 16-year-old children from Barcelona. Then the more expensive signings were Gervinho, who was worth 10 million pounds, and Chamberlain, who was bought from Southampton for 15 million pounds.
What about Liverpool?
Comain, who had a transfer budget of 100 million pounds, was ready to brew a sensational enough transfer to let Liverpool continue to dominate Europe in the new season!
