Chapter 34 Contract Renewal and Transfer

Manchester, now that the Middle East has not invaded Manchester, the best team in Manchester is still red.

At the Manchester United Club, the best team in Manchester, Ferguson is talking to his assistant Carlos Queiroz. Queiroz is the one who coached Real Madrid. He coached Real Madrid for a year and led Real Madrid to a five-game losing streak at the end of the season. The Miracle of Istanbul the following year.

After failing to coach Real Madrid, Queiroz returned to Manchester United as an assistant to Ferguson. An assistant from another team became the head coach of Real Madrid, and then returned from the head coach of Real Madrid to serve as an assistant for another four years.

"Alex, here is a video of a player that you might be interested in." Queiroz gave Ferguson a video CD.

Ferguson put the CD into the machine, read it carefully, and asked, "Is it a French player?"

"No, he is a Chinese from Monaco. He was born in Barcelona's youth training. I don't know why he was given up and didn't get a professional contract. He was signed by Bordeaux for free. He is the best young player in Ligue [-] this season. He is a right-footed player. He is suitable for the right side and is good at cutting inside. He can be used as a substitute for Ronaldo." Queiroz said.

Ferguson has a bit of a headache, the main reason is the strange chairman of Real Madrid.

After Florentino's Galacticos superstar policy failed to step down at Real Madrid, his former assistant Calderon successfully ran for the chairmanship of Real Madrid in the summer of 06. Calderon's campaign slogan was to bring Kaka, Arjen Robben, and Fabregas to the Bernabeu.One year later, in the summer of 07, they finally managed to buy Robben, but Kaka and Fabregas were still not interested in Calderon's temptation. Fabregas directly stated that he would go back to Barcelona, ​​which made the chairman of Real Madrid very embarrassed. In addition, Beckham left Los Angeles, so Calderon added Ronaldo to his new list.Ferguson knew that Ronaldo had a bad relationship with many players in the Manchester United team and had conflicts with several players in the team. Although he could favor Ronaldo, even sell Ruud van Nistelrooy and drive away Roy Keane, who has made great contributions to Manchester United, these are not unrelated to their conflicts with Ronaldo.

Although Ferguson is forcing Ronaldo to stay, Ronaldo has not yet firmly stated that he will go to Real Madrid, but he knows that this is definitely not a long-term solution. Ronaldo will go to Real Madrid sooner or later. Ronaldo has even stated in front of the media that he wants to go to Real Madrid. The candidate's mind, the one recommended by Queiroz looks pretty good.

Ferguson was still thinking about how to keep Ronaldo as much as possible. Queiroz thought that he was worried that he would not meet expectations like Nani, so he said: "This Chinese has only half a year of good performance, and his worth should not be high. Even if he fails, it will not have much impact."

Ferguson sighed and said, "Then ask for a quotation."

In fact, what Ferguson wants most is to keep Ronaldo, but in the face of Real Madrid's constant temptation, the big-mouthed chairman kept expressing his determination to introduce Ronaldo in front of the media. He really doesn't know how long he can stay.

At the same time, Wenger in London also learned that Liu Ting performed well after his comeback, and made up his mind to make an offer to Bordeaux.

※※※

The chairman of Bordeaux, Jean-Louis Trio, is in a good mood recently. The team's performance is not bad. If you are lucky, you may win the league championship this season, and at least qualify for the Champions League next season.

Of course, Trio would definitely be in a better mood if it weren't for that damned guy walking across the way.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman, I think we should reach an agreement as soon as possible. There are only 2 days until the winter break transfer period. If we can't reach an agreement by then, I may have to find a team for my team that is willing to pay liquidated damages." The person who came over was Liu Ting's agent Schiller Wagner.

Trio thought in his heart, the current contract with that Chinese player is still the salary standard of the lowest-level player, and the contract also includes a liquidated damages of 300 million euros. When he signed the Chinese player at the beginning, he did not expect any good performance from the abandoned player. That kid might really pay 300 million liquidated damages and go to other teams. You must know that the kid's worth has already reached 800 million euros.Even if he knew from Blanco that the boy was still willing to stay in Bordeaux, but no one knew if an accident would happen.

"Well, I think we can have a good talk." Trio said through gritted teeth.

In two days, a new contract was drawn up, and Liu Ting, who was on vacation in Spain, received a call from his agent.

"Hi, dear, I think we are going back to France for vacation. The winter in Monaco is not bad, although it is not as comfortable as the sunshine in Spain, but it is also very warm." Liu Ting said to Léa Seydoux.

"Well, Monaco is not bad, I haven't been to your house yet."

"Well, we have to go to Bordeaux first before returning to Monaco."

This time Liu Ting finally met Bordeaux chairman Trio. Of course, the team game is not counted. This is the first time he signed a contract and saw him. He is a fat middle-aged man who is said to be a local wine merchant in Bordeaux.

"Liu, you deserve this." Trio handed Liu Ting the drafted contract, and at the same time took out a bottle of red wine, not enough for Liu Ting to check what it was.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Chairman."

The contract is ready, it just needs to be signed.

The new contract Liu Ting signed with Bordeaux for 4 years, the salary rose to 150 million euros per year, and a series of bonuses such as goal awards and assists awards also increased accordingly. The liquidated damages directly increased to 4000 million euros. Such a high liquidated damages was specifically requested by Trio after making concessions on salary. This also shows that the club is optimistic about Liu Ting's future. After all, Liu Ting has just turned 19 years old.

Most of the salaries of the main players in the Bordeaux team are in the range of 80 to 120 million. The French team is not rich after all, and it is still during the global financial crisis.Trio wanted to sign a six-year contract with an annual salary of 6 million, but Wagner obviously disagreed with the contract. Wagner, who seized the arrival of the winter transfer, took advantage of the negotiations. In the end, Liu Ting's salary was increased to 120 million, and the year limit was also dropped to 150 years. The salary was tied for second only to team captain Diarra and Kavinagi. Diarra's annual salary was 4 million euros. As a concession, he doubled the liquidated damages from the originally negotiated 180 million.

After signing the new contract, Liu Ting took two more advertisements in Bordeaux. Wagner helped find them, saying that they could gradually increase the commercial value.In fact, I just took two photos of a local supermarket and a furniture store in Bordeaux.It took a day and made a small profit of 60.

After finding out about Bordeaux, Liu Ting and Saidoux went back to Monaco. The red wine presented by the chairman of Bordeaux should be a relatively good red wine produced by his own winery. It seems that the wine chairman has not forgotten to promote his own red wine at any time, but Liu Ting and Saidoux happened to use his wine for fun.

The annual winter transfer period is one month, basically in January. When Liu Ting was still sleeping at home in Monaco with his arms around a French beauty, Bordeaux received several offers for Liu Ting. At first, they were from Ligue [-] teams such as Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, and Monaco. Franz, the chairman of Colombia, is playing the family card, calling on Liu Ting to return to Monaco to help Monaco rise again.

Liu Ting also heard these voices. In an interview with reporters, he said: "Monaco is a great team. It once cultivated great players like Henry and Trezeguet. The current ranking is obviously not where he should be. I think there must be something wrong with this team. Someone must have done something wrong."

Liu Ting’s words are actually two good things about Monaco. By the way, the current Monaco coach Gomez is disgusting. If a team has a problem, the first one to take the blame is the head coach. Who told that guy at the beginning of the season that he thought his team’s performance was good? At that time, Monaco, which is not short of money, wants to go to the elderly, and people will want it.

Two days later, the offers from Manchester United and Arsenal came, which really aroused the interest of the media. The offers from the previous teams were not very concerned, and they were also Ligue [-] teams. Now the involvement of the Premier League giants is different.
