20 million euros annual salary! Saudi Arabia s gold dollar storm locks in Inter Milan s defense core, Serie A giants are uncompromising to ask for 100 million

A contract triggered European football, and the Saudi League's "money ability" made the giants tremble again.

01 Big Signing Plan: Riyadh wins to target world-class central defender

According to exclusive information from Swiss Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri, Riyadh victory has listed Inter Milan central defender Bastoni as the number one signing target this summer. The club plans to provide it with a four-year contract with an annual salary of up to 20 million euros after tax - a figure far exceeding its current annual salary of 5.5 million euros at Inter Milan, nearly four times.

Riyadh Victory believes that the 26-year-old Bastoni is "the best left-center-back in football today", and his excellent defensive prediction, accurate long passes and goal output ability (1 goal and 6 assists in 53 games this season) perfectly meets the team's tactical needs. If the deal is reached, he will form a "Saudi version of the super warship" with Ronaldo, who has recently been reported to have been renewed for two years.

02 Inter Milan responded strongly: 100 million euros transfer fee has become the key to the game

Faced with the poaching of Saudi giants, Inter Milan is firm in his attitude: not letting go, and the price is 100 million euros!

Contract chips: Bastoni's contract with Inter Milan will expire in 2028, and the club has the initiative.

Background of grudges: Because of the deadlock in negotiations for coach Inzaghi to be poached by Riyadh Crescent, Inter Milan and Saudi Arabia have tense relations, and this time they refuse to "make convenience".

Market logic: Bastoni, who is worth 80 million euros in Germany, is the core of the defense of the Nerazzurri Army. The 100 million yuan asking price is in line with his identity as a top central defender, and also sends a signal to other wealthy families that "no selling is not sold at a sky-high price".

03 Player's choice: honor or money?

For Bastoni, this is a crossroads of his career:

Stay in Europe: you can continue to compete for the Champions League and Serie A championships and consolidate the main position of the Italian national team;

Go to Saudi Arabia: 20 million euros annual salary + low tax rate, total income in four years is equal to Inter Milan for 10 years, but the league's competitive level and exposure have dropped sharply.

fans hotly discussed: "It's too early to go to Saudi Arabia at the age of 26!" "Who can refuse 20 million euros after tax?" - The balance between ideals and reality is shaking violently.

04 Saudi ambition: The 3.0 era of gold and dollar football

From Ronaldo and Neymar to targeting Bastoni, the Saudi league's signing strategy has been upgraded:

Target change: from outdated superstars to top players in their years of playing (such as 26-year-old Bastoni);

Position strengthening: Focus on building a mid- and backcourt defense, changing the label of "strong offense and weak defense";

Ecological competition: Riyadh victory and the "national derby" of the new moon spread to the transfer market, and the two sides are competing for coaches and players is in full swing.

Saudi football is rewriting the rules of the game with gold and dollar, and the boycott and compromise of European giants will become the biggest suspense in the transfer market this summer.

05 Chain reaction: European football defense battle

If Bastoni transfers successfully, it may trigger a domino effect:

Serie A crisis: After Skriniar and Onana, Inter Milan lost its core again, and Serie A competitiveness further declined;

The giants are wary of: Premier League and La Liga teams may accelerate the renewal of the contract, increase the liquidated damages to resist Saudi poaching;

Player mentality: Under the temptation of high salaries, the traditional values ​​of "staying in Europe to prove themselves" are facing unprecedented challenges.

Saudi checkbook is redrawing the territory of the football world.

When European giants scratched their heads for financial fairness, Riyadh's winning 20 million euros annual salary had already hit the top central defenders. Can the 100 million euro price maintain Inter Milan's dignity? Will 26-year-old Bastoni give up the European battlefield for money? There is no winning or losing in this game, only the fierce collision of new and old orders in football.
