Chapter 717 Finalizing the Contract

After submitting the transfer application, the next step is to go through the procedures. It can take as long as one week and as little as three or four days before Gao Xiaodong can report to Manchester United.

The next morning after meeting Moratti, Gao Xiaodong finished cleaning up early and prepared to go to the Eagles' Veterans Stadium for his last training session, say goodbye to his teammates, and then have a breakup meal.

Gao Xiaodong had just finished washing and was about to go out when Andre, the team leader of Inter Milan, knocked on the door and came in.

"Gao, the coach asked me to tell you that you don't need to train today."

Normally Andre and Gao Xiaodong have a good relationship, and they always talk with a smile, but today Andre's melon face turned into a bitter melon face, and he seemed to be reading a verdict when he spoke.

The tea has gone cold before anyone left. Gao Xiaodong was speechless to Andre and Benitez.

Gao Xiaodong threw his backpack on the sand and said with a smile: "That's great, it's a rare holiday."

"Gao, if nothing happens, I will go back." Andre still looked miserable.

"Let's go, let's go." Gao Xiaodong waved his hand and chased Andre out like a fly.

Just after Andre left, Xiao Le came in. Seeing Andre's back, Xiao Le asked with some confusion: "Xiaodong, what is the leader here for?"

Gao Xiaodong lay down on the bed and said, "Tell me there is no need to train today."

When Xiao Le heard this, he got angry, "Who are you? You haven't been transferred yet, so you won't be allowed to participate in training. You have a contract. Why? Just go to training and see what Fatty Bei can do."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Forget it, they don't welcome us. They are afraid that I will reveal the tactics. We are not going to join in the fun. Let's just treat it as a vacation in the United States."

Xiao Le said sternly: "How can that be done? If you transfer to Manchester United, the competition will be more intense. How can you do it without training? Manchester United also trains in Philadelphia. You might as well train with Manchester United. Anyway, you will be from Manchester United sooner or later."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Nonsense, why don't you go to Manchester United now? Don't worry about scaring others. Let's go out for a walk and check out the Jingguo shopping. Then you make an appointment with me and treat your teammates to a breakup dinner in the evening."

…

After Moratti failed to retain Gao Xiaodong, there was no obstacle to Gao Xiaodong's transfer to Manchester United. Mendes immediately rushed to Manchester to discuss Gao Xiaodong's transfer contract with Manchester United CEO David Gill.

Gao Xiaodong is now the hottest player in the transfer market. If Gao Xiaodong's liquidated damages had not been set low, a player with both strength and potential like him should not have appeared in the transfer market at all, so Manchester United did not have much to bargain with. Capital.

Manchester United has provided Gao Xiaodong with an annual salary of 12 million euros, which is the highest salary in Manchester United and the second highest salary in the UK. It is one million higher than the annual salary Inter Milan is prepared to provide Gao Xiaodong.

Manchester United's offer of this annual salary is also taking into account Rooney's stay. They plan to give Rooney an annual salary of 11 million euros, second only to Gao Xiaodong, which is Manchester United's second highest salary.

The last time Gao Xiaodong moved to Inter Milan, the signing fee was only 2 million euros, but this time he is already the core of the Triple Crown, so the signing fee has of course increased. Manchester United offered him a signing fee of 10 million euros.

The appearance fee in the Manchester United contract is higher than that of Inter Milan, which is 40,000 euros per game, but the bonuses for winning the league and the Champions League are low. Winning the league championship is 500,000 euros, and winning the Champions League is 800,000 euros. But if you win the Double, the bonus will be directly increased. To 2 million euros, after winning the Triple Crown, the bonus soared to 3 million euros.

Manchester United's goal award and assist award are also slightly different from those of Inter Milan. Manchester United has different amounts based on the number of goals and assists. The previous goal bonuses are smaller, but the more goals are scored, the higher the goal bonuses are. The higher, for example, the first ten goals are 20,000 euros each, and from 10 to 20 goals, each goal is 30,000 euros. For an efficient shooter like Gao Xiaodong, this contract will make him earn more.

Gao Xiaodong can accept such an annual salary and bonus. This annual salary is among the best in the world. As long as the wealthy Manchester City offers a higher annual salary due to lack of background in order to poach people.

The key to the contract is still the image rights. Manchester United hopes to obtain all the image rights of Gao Xiaodong for commercial development. They can even provide Gao Xiaodong with a higher annual salary and signing fee for this purpose. But how smart is Mendes? , he was very aware of the value of the Chinese market behind Gao Xiaodong, and insisted that Gao Xiaodong hold 50% of the image rights.

Manchester United is now in debt of 500 million pounds. The reason why Glazer dared to borrow money to buy Gao Xiaodong is because Manchester United has the largest number of fans in China. They believe that they can earn back through the sale of Gao Xiaodong's portrait. If Gao Xiaodong holds half of the portrait rights, Manchester United will There won't be much profit.

Manchester United promised Mendes that it could help Gao Xiaodong promote Gao Xiaodong, increase Gao Xiaodong's commercial value, let Gao Xiaodong win the Ballon d'Or, and help Gao Xiaodong contact commercial sponsorships around the world, as long as Gao Xiaodong is willing to give up some of it. Image rights.

Now that Gao Xiaodong is the daughter of the emperor, he has no worries about marrying. Of course, Mendes will not give in. He told David Gill that he would not give up even one cent of his image rights, and he had already given in 50%. Manchester City was even willing to give 100% to Gao Xiaodong. image rights.

Seeing that Manchester United was unwilling to give in, Mendes began to cleverly put pressure on Manchester United. He kept traveling to London, Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and even Liverpool. Every time a reporter asked Mendes if he had transferred for Gao Xiaodong, Mendes said that he came here for the transfer of other players and had nothing to do with Gao Xiaodong's transfer. However, the more Mendes said this, the more the media believed that there was something wrong with Gao Xiaodong's transfer to Manchester United. May fall into the arms of other wealthy families.

Manchester United boss Glazer is no ordinary person. Jews have a natural business acumen. Under his instruction, Manchester United used Gao Xiaodong as pressure to step up contract renewal negotiations with Rooney. At the same time, they proposed a transfer plan B to the media, intending to bring in Sneijder, Cesc Fabregas and other stars.

When the negotiations reached a deadlock and Glazer and Mendes were fighting, Manchester United coach Ferguson couldn't hold on anymore.

In the eyes of the 69-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson, commercial income must give way to competitive performance. He doesn't care how much Manchester United can earn by acquiring all the image rights. He only knows that without Gao Xiaodong, he wants to achieve his Triple Crown again. His dream is very difficult. He needs Gao Xiaodong. Whether he can make money or not, the club will find a way on its own.

Moreover, it is only two weeks before the opening of the Ying Dynasty. Now that Gao Xiaodong has been signed, there is no time to adjust, so how can we delay?

Ferguson happened to be training in the United States. He personally went to the home of owner Glazer in Florida and asked Glazer to sign Gao Xiaodong as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.

After fighting with Mendes, Glazer found that it was very difficult to make him give in, so he threw out his last trump card and used 10% of Gao Xiaodong's future transfer fee in exchange for 20% of Gao Xiaodong's portrait. right.

Glazer's proposal is very tempting. After all, Gao Xiaodong's current transfer value should actually be higher than the liquidated damages, but Inter Milan has set it lower. If Gao Xiaodong's transfer value exceeds 100 million in the future, then 10% That's more than 10 million.

Mendes couldn't make the decision, so he told Gao Xiaodong, who was on vacation in the United States, about Manchester United's proposal.

Gao Xiaodong has a superstar system and knows very well what level he can reach. The transfer fee will definitely be higher in the future. He told Mendes that a 10% transfer commission can only be exchanged for 10% of the image rights, and more is not enough.

Mendes told Manchester United Gao Xiaodong's idea. Under the pressure of Ferguson, Manchester United accepted Gao Xiaodong's opinion and exchanged 10% of the transfer commission for 10% of Gao Xiaodong's image rights. After a week of stalemate, The two parties finally reached an agreement on the contract, and it was only for Gao Xiaodong to come to Manchester for a physical examination to complete the signing ceremony.
