Chapter 294 Decided to leave
On a secluded island in the Maldives, Nick is leisurely lying on a beach chair enjoying life.

This period was the happiest time since he traveled. His wife and children were by his side, and the warmth of the family made him forget about other things.

"Nick, what are your plans now? Are you still staying at Borussia Mönchengladbach next season?" Bai Jie came over and fell on Nick, and asked with her head buried in Nick's chest.

"Probably not. Now that we have won the Triple Crown for Borussia Mönchengladbach, if we stay at Borussia Mönchengladbach, we will have no more goals to fight for in the future. Besides, the level of the Bundesliga is still not as good as the Premier League and La Liga. I still want to try other leagues." Nick said.

"That's true. Didn't Nottingham Forest succeed in surpassing? Why don't you go to Nottingham Forest?" Bai Jie suddenly came up with an idea and said.

"Can I pay to buy myself?" Nick said angrily. Indeed, with his current worth of more than 8000 million euros, there is no need to do this. It would be almost the same if the contract expired.

"Then go to Real Madrid. Real Madrid is the top giants in the world, and Florentino likes you more. If you go there, you will definitely become famous." Bai Jie said again.

"Real Madrid are all stars. If I go, I'm afraid I may not be able to become the core." Nick's request for his transfer is to become the core of the new club, otherwise he will not consider it.

And Real Madrid is full of stars, and I, a foreign monk, must not be as popular as Hierro, Raul, and Guti.

"I heard that the owner of Chelsea is rich and stupid. Why don't you go to Chelsea? If you go there, you can get a high salary, at least 10 pounds a week." Bai Jie came up with another idea.

"Chelsea is a multinational team, and the boss is also a strong person. It is said that he likes to interfere with the team's affairs. I don't like such a boss." Although Nick wants to make more money, an upstart like Chelsea is still too poor.

"Then where do you want to go? Make a decision early so that you can prepare for the new season." Bai Jie asked anxiously.

"What are you panicking about? It's still early. It's just entering July. Let's see which clubs are more sincere." Nick was a little bit up for grabs.

There are only a few clubs that can afford to buy him now. There is really no need to worry. What Nick is worried about is the reaction of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans. He has never made public his desire to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach. If he leaves this time, it will definitely arouse the emotions of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans.

On July 7, Nick, who had disappeared for more than a month, finally appeared in Monchengladbach. He was going to hold a press conference.

The media from all over the world have keenly captured certain information, and the press conference site was packed with people.

"I held a press conference today to announce a big event, which is my decision to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach next season to pursue a bigger stage."

As soon as Nick's words came out, the media reporters were delighted. This is really big news. As the banner of Borussia Mönchengladbach and the world's recognized star of tomorrow, Nick's departure has involved too much news.

"Leaving is a painful decision. I played for Borussia Mönchengladbach for two and a half seasons. I won the league championship for the team after 24 years, the first Champions League for the team, and two German Cups. This is not enough for Borussia Mönchengladbach fans. But today I have to leave. For the future of German football, I need to challenge a more difficult league. Competitive sports will never be satisfied. When I conquer the leagues of various countries one by one, I may stop. So, fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach , please don’t be sad, my heart is always with you.”

Nick's words are very obvious. This is his own decision and has nothing to do with the club. In this way, the club will respect his wishes more during the transfer process rather than purely for money.

The content of the press conference was quickly reported by the media of various countries, and the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach also knew the news immediately.

The fans really couldn't stand the excitement, what a joke, the team had just won the Triple Crown, and Nick was about to leave, which was too hard for people to accept.

Radical fans attributed this to Nick's dissatisfaction with the club's continuous sales of players, so they surrounded the club's office building and protested loudly.

"Damn club executives, are your heads flooded? Sell it, sell it, you know how to sell it."

"You guys are the ones trying to force Nick away, you bastards, you don't know anything about football!"

"You know how to make money, you ruin the future of Borussia Mönchengladbach!"

Fan protests became more and more intense, and some fans began to push the gates, preparing to rush into the office building.

At this moment, Nick appeared in front of them.

"Calm down, everyone, please listen to me first?" Nick said with a smile.

The fans fell silent.

"Leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach is my personal decision and has nothing to do with the club." Just after Nick finished speaking, a fan said: "But Nick, Borussia Mönchengladbach is already the European champion. Staying here can create a dynasty. Why do you want to leave?"

"Everyone only sees the surface. It seems that the Borussia Mönchengladbach dynasty is just around the corner, but you all ignore the key to success, which is motivation. I have created my own myth in Borussia Mönchengladbach, and it is difficult to do better. In order to improve, I have to choose to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach. It is very simple. With new goals, I will have higher pursuits. In the future, my goal is to lead the German national team back to the throne of the World Cup. Do you think it is right for me to do so?"

After Nick finished speaking, the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach began to think. Although they were fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach, they were also fans of the German national team. It was obviously reasonable for Nick to say so.

"Nick is right. The level of the Bundesliga is not good. If Nick stays in Borussia Mönchengladbach, he will bring us another ten or eight league titles or two or three European Champions Cup titles, but his level may not be able to improve."

"Yes, if Nick goes out and makes a breakthrough, he will definitely be able to help the national team in the future."

"If Nick can help the German national team win the Hercules Cup, that would definitely be something we would love to see."

The fans quickly accepted Nick's rhetoric and slowly dispersed.

In the office of the chairman of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Wendi Deng let out a sigh of relief. She never thought that Nick could convince the fans so easily. It seems that Nick's charm is really great.

What makes Deng Wendi even more happy is that Nick himself wants to leave, so he won't have any psychological pressure to earn more than 8000 million euros.

Nick then walked into Deng Wendi's office, looked at this shrewd woman and said, "Madam Chairman, you can arrange for them to discuss transfer matters with my agent, but before I leave, I still want to give you a suggestion: Don't sell out all these players. Li Yihuan and Ronaldinho can be the cornerstone of rebuilding the team. If you sell them all, Borussia Mönchengladbach may become a team in the relegation circle next year."

"Thank you, Nick, I will consider your opinion." Deng Wendi said politely. In fact, after Barcelona raised Ronaldinho's offer to 3900 million euros, Deng Wendi was already moved.
