Let’s start with a recent transfer-out player transaction by Inter Milan.

Yesterday, Belgian Bruges' senior management visited Inter Milan's headquarters in the Liberty District of Milan City and reached an agreement with Inter Milan to introduce Alexander Stankovic.

It is believed that the transfer fee is a must-payment of 8 million euros and 2 million euros floating. Inter Milan retains the repurchase clause - the Blue and Blacks can spend 28 million euros to buy the players back.

In addition, according to the previous introduction of the famous Belgian reporter Tavolieri, in the negotiations between Inter Milan and Bruges, the two sides repeatedly pulled over the "second transfer share" clause.

According to the general rules of the market, the "repurchase terms" and the "second transfer share terms" will not be triggered at the same time. But no matter what, if players can really make a big name in the future, no matter which of these two terms takes effect, the Blue and Black Army will not be empty-handed and can have more guarantees.

The "second conversion clause" is the topic to be discussed in this article.

The Milan Sports Daily published a special article pointing out that even if Stankovic is not counting, this may earn 10 million yuan (after all, it has not been officially announced yet), in the past two seasons, Inter Milan has also recovered 21 million euros of funds by selling some young players. The number 21M may also increase in the future - and it will be a considerable increase - because in every transaction, Inter Milan obtains future protection by adding the "second transfer share" clause.

The specific situation of the 21 million euros is: Olistanho and Philip Stankovic transfer to Venice, totaling 5.5 million; Zanotti transfer to Lugano, Switzerland, 2.5 million; Satriano transfer to Lens, 5 million; Argome transfer to Sevilla, 4 million; Colidio transfer to Riverbed, Argentina, 4.4 million.

As we all know, in the years since Osirio was in charge of Inter Milan transfers, although few players in the Nerazzurri youth training system can directly gain a foothold in the first team to provide "fighting support", the "financial support" provided to the first team cannot be underestimated.

Inter Milan youth training, although not yet a "arsen" for a team, has always played the role of a team of "small gold mine".

In the early days of Zhang Kangyang's entry into Inter Milan, when he had the ability to invest, Inter Milan was troubled by the UEFA FFP understanding agreement and wanted to invest in the football market, but was unable to pass the review of the FFP review agency, so he used youth training players to "do accounts".

A typical example is the transaction of Bastoni joining Inter Milan. The reason why the transfer fee for the unknown rising star at that time was as high as 31 million euros was because when Inter Milan bought his two transfer windows, he sold 5-6 youth training players to Atlanta, and obtained nearly 20 million in "transfer income" - or in another word, "capital gain".

This helped Inter Milan pass the UEFA review at the time and avoid being punished. After the review, the Blue and Black Army bought Bastony at a high price to "repay" Atlanta.

After the mask incident broke through Inter Milan's capital chain, Inter Milan balanced the finances by selling youth training players.

For example, for 20 million, the reserve captain Casadei was sold, 20 million, Pinamonti was sold, and more than 10 million were transferred back by Pirola, Digregorio, Fabian and others.

Although these transactions are not considered huge transactions, they are not a small amount of money at all, and it was still very helpful to Inter Milan, which was financially in trouble at the time.

In the past two years, Inter Milan has achieved increased revenue due to its outstanding performance in the Champions League, and the fiscal pressure has been alleviated.

Under this premise, Inter Milan is concerned not only with the funds exchanged for youth training players when leaving the team, but also whether it can bring greater benefits in the future.

"Milan Sports" pointed out: "In the past two years, when Inter Milan loses young players in the transfer market, they often adopt a special strategy: to avoid permanently losing control of the players. Inter Milan usually adds repurchase terms, or second transfer share terms."

For example, Olistanho, Inter Milan holds 30% of his second transfer share.

For example, Philip Stankovic, Inter Milan holds 50% of the second transfer share.

In the transfer contracts of Zanotti, Satriano, Colidio and others, Inter Milan also has a second transfer share of 20% to 30%.

One of the special situations is Argome, who spent 4 million euros last summer to introduce the French midfielder from Inter. Inter Milan retained 50% of his second transfer share. However, according to detailed revelations by Italian and Western media, Sevilla also attached a clause, where they could pay another 4 million euros to Inter Milan to reduce the 50% second transfer share to 10%.

To sum up, in recent years, Inter Milan youth training players have created more than nine-digit euros in "capital appreciation" for Inter Milan by making accounts and selling money, helping the team through the most difficult financial period.

In the past two years, Inter Milan sold new stars and recovered 21 million euros (if Alexander Stankovic's transaction is finalized, it will reach 30M), and, due to the existence of a large number of "second transfer share clauses", there may be higher returns in the future.

Therefore, Inter Milan has reason to send good wishes to the future of these "young old generals".
