MILAN NEWS: Luiz Adriano set to triple salary with move to Jiangsu Suning
A blitzkrieg operation, brought to a happy ending very quickly indeed.
We had already exclusively revealed last week that the Braziliant striker had attracted interested from the Russian Premier league, namerly from FC Krasnodar and CSKA Moscow.
Jiangsu's offer was only one of many, but immediately made Adriano's entourage sit up and notice: he is close to signing an €8 million a year deal, including a number of bonuses that aren't exactly related to difficult goals.
That's almost triple what he earned with Milan.
The Rossoneri were immediately interested by the €14-15 million offer the Chinese club put on the table. Milan will, in essence, make 6-7 million after only having the Brazilian for six months, earning a further 1.6 million in amortization.
The Diavolo is, therefore, set to earn somewhere between €7.6 and 8.6 million, a healthy chunk of cheese to be used to bring in either a right winger or a midfielder.
