Chapter 1141, Between Love and Hate
In the summer of 2015, Icardi, who Kim Tiger had been carefully cultivating, took the initiative to apply for a transfer to Kim Tiger, wanting to leave the team and go to a place that could give him a starting position.
Kim Tiger assured him that Icardi will definitely get enough playing time in the next few years. But Icardi still insisted on his choice.
In the end, Icardi chose to leave the Apennines and join Inter Milan to pursue his dream in Serie A.
Three years later, Icardi has only won one Italian Cup championship. From this point of view, Icardi's transfer seems to be a mistake.
But he has topped the scorer list for three consecutive years and enjoys the treatment of the number one superstar in the Inter Milan team. From this point of view, his choice is not bad.
But it has been three years since Icardi came to Inter Milan, and his five-year contract will expire soon. Where to go next will be something Icardi needs to consider.
FIFA's clauses on player contract protection - Article 17 of the FIFA Transfer Regulations "Webster Clause". In order to avoid the situation where players are unable to leave the team after signing a long-term contract, FIFA stipulates that players' contracts can be signed for a maximum of 5 years. , no protection beyond 5 years, and players under 28 years old can choose to use their remaining contract salary to buy out their contracts and become free agents after signing a contract for three years and players over 28 years old for two years.
For example, Icardi's current contract in 2015 expires in 2020, but after serving for three years, that is, this summer, he can pay 9 million euros in his last two years' salary, buy out the contract and leave.
Of course, if this is the case, it will be a complete break-up, and they will have to apply for FIFA arbitration, so very few players actually use this clause, but this clause is tantamount to giving the players a talisman to help them negotiate with the club. Be more proactive.
And even if you don't look at the "Webster Clause", a player with only two years left on his contract must renew his contract. If he doesn't renew his contract, he must sell it. Otherwise, when he reaches the last year of his contract, even if he doesn't buy out the contract, the player will lose his contract. The team can no longer sell it at a high price. What did the players care about at that time? As long as he waits for a few more months, he can freely contact his next employer. The zero-value transfer fee will definitely bring high wages and high signing fees to the players, which of course the players want. So from the club's perspective, players with only two years left on their contracts have to be dealt with. Or renewal or sale, must be dealt with.
In fact, in the first half of this year, Icardi has frequently raised the issue of contract renewal with the club. Icardi enjoys his status at Inter Milan and hopes to continue to stay here. So starting from the first half of the year, his wife's manager Wanda started to talk about the contract extension and released some scandals. This is all normal behavior.
If the management intends to renew the contract, then they will definitely find an opportunity to discuss the contract renewal whether publicly or privately. Once these are done, the trend in the media will be self-defeating.
But Inter Milan didn't.
They have been claiming to the outside world that they are considering, studying, and procrastinating, but they have not taken any substantive action. In this turmoil, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Chelsea were all involved, and there were rumors of scandals with Icardi.
At this time, the media also began to attack Icardi and Wanda, saying that Wanda only valued money, saying that Icardi insisted on 9 million, and he would not accept the 7 million offered by Inter Milan, and also forcibly retained the liquidated damages clause.
In fact, the two sides have not even begun to contact each other.
At this time, Icardi stood up and criticized "Gazzetta dello Sport" for making up lies, and Moratti also stood up and said that Icardi deserves a high salary.
Inter Milan must pay attention to the captain and former president's platform, but they still have no substantial progress.
Icardi has been waiting for half a year, and to this day, he still has not received a contract extension.
Jin Taige is very clear about this farce. In the parallel world of later generations, the future story will become increasingly chaotic. Icardi, who was in a favorable position, eventually capsized on Wanda. As a Wanda with his own original sin attribute, his big-mouth attribute exploded when the club delayed renewing his contract. Frequent bombardments made Icardi become the target of public criticism.
And Inter Milan took off his captain's armband, which made Icardi completely break with the club! In the end, Icardi became the object of reviling by many Inter Milan fans and completely cut off his own future.
But looking back at all this, how can we put all the blame on Icardi?
These things have not intensified yet. Icardi is still the darling of Inter Milan, and they are still fighting over the contract extension. Jin Taige saw the present and predicted the future, so he wanted to give Icardi a good advice today.
"Mauro, I would like to give you some advice regarding your contract renewal."
When Icardi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss! I'm worried about the contract renewal right now! If you have any good suggestions, I'm very happy to accept them!"
Jin Taige helped Icardi analyze it seriously and calmly.
"Mauro, I suggest that you have in-depth talks with the club this summer and go to the club's senior management in person, both personally and as captain. You should ask what the club's attitude is? Is it planning to sell you, or is it planning to sell you? Renew the contract? Or do you want to delay it?"
"If they want to renew the contract, that's easy. All that's left is to talk about money. You don't need to come forward. You set your own salary requirements and let the agent handle it."
"If Inter Milan wants to sell you, you are at ease. You can tentatively ask the club's asking price, and then ask the agent to find a suitable club and determine the future as soon as possible. With your strength, you will definitely not worry about where to buy! "
Icardi nodded and asked again: "What if the club's attitude is not clear?"
"If the club's attitude is not clear and they still want to delay, well... I suggest you not to act rashly," Jin Taige thought for a while and finally said what he said from the bottom of his heart, "I suggest your agent not to say too much. If you talk too much and lose the words, it is easy to intensify conflicts for yourself."
Icardi was a little confused: "Then I can only use it?"
Jin Taige shook his head: "If you love Inter Milan deeply, you can stay and use your excellent performance to seek a new contract. This is the most moderate and safest approach. But I think if the club does not propose it for a long time, Renew your contract, then you can consider your next home in advance. If the club doesn't renew your contract, it proves that they don't think much of you. In this case, what are you still doing?"
"Of course, even if you seek a transfer, you'd better stay within a reasonable range, don't go out of your way, and don't let the club resent you."
"You can stop loving, but don't turn it into hate..."
