Speaking of the "black shop" of European football, which teams do fans think of? Porto, Portugal? Monaco in Ligue 1? Bundesliga Hornets Dortmund? Or the Dutch giants Ajax?
Early this morning, Serie A giants Juventus officially announced the signing of Fiorentina striker Vlahovic. The Bianconeri also welcomed the new owner of the "No. 7 jersey", "Serbian Ibrahimovic".
Vlahović's base transfer fee is €70 million, plus a bonus of €8 million, while the player's individual annual salary is between €6.3 million and €7 million. Vlahović's managerial commission is around €15 million, and with a 4.5-year contract, Juve Vlahović's total cost is over 100 million euros.
In world football's January winter window transfer fee rankings, Vlahović's €70 million also ranks third in history. It is second only to Coutinho, who moved from Liverpool to Barcelona for 135 million euros in 2018, and Dutch centre-back Van Dijk, who moved from Southampton to Liverpool for 84.65 million euros in 2018.
It is reported that Vlahović is worth 70 million euros, the Serbian international is the most expensive of the U22 players in Serie A. In this season's top five European leagues, 21-year-olds and younger are at the top of the top of the list of top scorers for players aged 21 and under, Vlahović beat Haaland with 17 goals.
In 2021, the youngster equaled the Serie A goal record of the year set by Ronaldo. (Click to review)
Vlahović:
"I am very happy and proud to be a part of this club and I will do my best to help the team achieve all its goals."
"Juve represents pride, tradition and family, and I want to emphasize that Juve and I will always fight to the end and never give up."
"Today was a really wonderful and special day for me, one of the happiest birthdays I've ever experienced. I want to move on and make the club proud of me. We will never give up, we will always fight to the end. ”
After the Bianconeri announced the signing of Vlahović, according to statistics, this is also the third number one star from the Purple Lily introduced by Juve in the past 4 and a half years.
On 24 July 2017, the Bianconeri signed Bernardeschi for 40 million euros.
On October 5, 2020, the Bianconeri signed Chiesa Junior. Rental fee of 10 million euros + mandatory buyout fee of 40 million euros + floating bonus of 10 million euros.
On January 29, 2022, Juve once again spent 70 million euros + 10 million euros floating to sign Vlahovic.
In this regard, the Serie A "black shop" was officially born, and these 3 player transfer transactions made Purple Lily "Alipay" a total of 180 million euros.
Since Bernardeschi and Chiesa Jr. are both purple lily's youth players, Fiorentina's investment in these three players is only Vlahović, who originally spent 1.9 million euros to buy from The Partisan Belgrade.
In 4 and a half years, Purple Lily turned 1.9 million into 180 million, and had to admire their unique vision of scouting and the results of youth training.
