Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 291
After all, Atletico Madrid is not as rich and powerful as Real Madrid.This price is close to the limit of their budget for a player's worth.Although they are well aware of Wen Zhihao's role, the team's salary balance has to be considered.

This point reflects the professionalism of European clubs, and will not invest in a player regardless of the cost. Parallel imports with a sky-high price of several hundred million like Carlos Tevez are absolutely impossible for teams in the five major leagues.Fortunately for La Liga, the Bundesliga, which pursues financial health, is even worse in this regard.

The salary game between players, agents and clubs is a very long process.But in Wen Zhihao's case, the problem was not so complicated when several factors were added together.First of all, Wen Zhihao doesn't play football for money, and he doesn't care about personal treatment. Naturally, there can be a high degree of unified tacit understanding between him and his agent Saki.The interests of the two are the same, one prospers and the other loses.Secondly, Atletico Madrid does not have quotation pressure from the outside world, and the needs of both parties can be negotiated slowly.

In this case, Sacchi has demonstrated super negotiating ability.Except for some important matters of intention, which required Wen Zhihao's consent, he could handle other situations by himself.Wen Zhihao was joking with him, I was lucky to meet you, a capable, shameless, brown sugar character, but Atletico Madrid deserves it!
Wen Zhihao still trains as usual every day, preparing for the Copa del Rey final in the middle of next week. Sacchi will notify him after the new contract is finalized.

Regarding Barcelona, ​​the final opponent of the Copa del Rey, Simeone can actually play a very small role, because there is nothing to explain.They are all very familiar defeated players. In recent days of training, the coaching staff has consciously controlled the amount of training. Simeone no longer put on a straight face, but tried to make the training atmosphere as relaxed as possible to reduce everyone's physical and mental fatigue.

On the day before the final, Wen Zhihao's new contract was finally finalized. Sacchi and Atletico Madrid finally gave in to each other. After Wen Zhihao agreed and signed it, the official announcement was made in the afternoon of local time the day before the Copa del Rey final.

The finalized salary of the new contract is 950 million euros, which is lower than Atletico Madrid's first bargain.

Wen Zhihao wondered how Saki would agree, and Saki replied that he was fighting for greater benefits for Wen Zhihao.

About Wen Zhihao's personal portrait rights.

According to the usual situation of La Liga players, players will transfer half of the income from personal portrait rights to the club, mainly for the income from commercial endorsements, and the two parties will share 40.00-[-].Throughout La Liga, only Ronaldo and Messi are special cases.Real Madrid only has [-]% of Ronaldo's portrait rights, while Messi's portrait rights are [-]% in their own hands.

And due to the decline in Ronaldo's overall state, Real Madrid has already moved to sell Ronaldo.In order to stay in the team, Ronaldo did not hesitate to sell all 60.00% of the club's income to the club. It can be seen that portrait rights are an important factor in the professional contracts of La Liga players.

This time, in order to show sincerity, Atletico Madrid proposed to share [-] to [-]% of the proceeds from portrait rights.Wen Zhihao takes [-]%, and Atletico Madrid only takes [-]%.

This is actually the biggest concession.With Wen Zhihao's current development, no matter in terms of strength or market, his advertising endorsement activities will not be less in the future. Giving up [-]% of the income from portrait rights will cause the club to lose a very important piece of income.

Atletico Madrid's new contract with Wen Zhihao was officially announced immediately after Wen Zhihao signed it. Countless coaches including Zidane could only let out a long sigh of disappointment. If they want to get Wen Zhihao's mind, they may really only think about it in their heads.

Even if Wen Zhihao's contract expires, it will be difficult for them to snatch food from a tiger's mouth-the new contract has added such a stipulation that in the last year of the contract period, Atletico Madrid has the priority to renew the contract.If other teams want to sign, they still need to face the high threshold of 4000 million euros in liquidated damages.

The Spanish media did not pay special attention to this detail in their reports, but the Chinese media did.After all, it is unimaginable how much attention Wen Zhihao receives in front of the Chinese media at the moment of the current championship.

Because of this, some fans and reporters have mixed feelings about Wen Zhihao's new contract.The good news is that Wen Zhihao can easily secure the top spot even with the annual salary level after concessions, becoming the team's top salary, which shows that Atletico Madrid values ​​​​Wen Zhihao very much.

The worry also comes from this. It is a good thing that Atletico Madrid pays attention to Wen Zhihao, but everyone thinks that the contract is too long. Who can guarantee that Atletico Madrid will continue to prosper like this season?
Another reason is that the 4000 million euro liquidated damages threshold is too high.Some media ridiculed Wen Zhihao because it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. Even if some wealthy clubs want to introduce Wen Zhihao, liquidated damages are still a big obstacle. If the contract is about to expire, Atletico Madrid still has the ultimate tactic of priority renewal rights. The reason why these media and fans feel uncomfortable is that Wen Zhihao is like (selling) (body) to Atletico Madrid.

The club is naturally quite satisfied, and wrote in the official announcement article: "We believe that this signing is a win-win choice, which is beneficial to the long-term interests of our club and the long-term development of the players themselves."

The next day, many reporters were waiting to interview Wen Zhihao at the entrance of Atletico Madrid's training center. Among them, Chinese reporters were the most active. They didn't believe the club's wording, so they wanted to hear what Wen Zhihao had in mind.

"Zhihao, tell us the truth, how do you feel about this signing? It's okay, you say it boldly, they don't understand Chinese." Some reporters urged.

Wen Zhihao replied with a normal face: "I think the club's statement is very correct. It is a win-win choice, which is good for me and Atletico Madrid."

The reporters looked at each other. This reporter might think that Wen Zhihao was too young to realize the hidden pit in the contract, so he suggested: "Is this what you mean? We all think this is unfair to you. The contract time, liquidated damages and priority renewal clauses will all become obstacles for you to leave Atletico Madrid in the future. If Atletico Madrid is not as strong as it is now during your contract period, and the four seasons end like before, you really don't regret it?"

Wen Zhihao looked at him and replied, "What if it's the opposite at the right time? Me, Griezmann and Costa all have long-term contracts, at least four years or more. At least when we're here, the team's performance should be guaranteed, right? You all know the level of our club's youth training, and we can guarantee fresh blood every season. Can such a team still be empty of the big four? Sorry, I'm an optimist, and I don't believe this."

"Thank you to all the journalists and fans who care about me. I understand what everyone thinks. Professional football does not believe in loyalty. It will be considered a foolish behavior and does not conform to this era. But if a club allows me to maintain the opportunity to show myself on the top stage and maintain the impact of the championship with a group of excellent teammates, so what if my career is tied to Atletico Madrid? Just choose the right one."
