Chapter 972 The Issue of Weekly Salary

After Pogba left, Gao Xiaodong said to Zhang Qi with some worry: "Brother Zhang, Pogba is a bit cocky."

Zhang Qi was not bothered by Pogba's rudeness just now. He smiled and said: "Young man, if you perform better and gain a little fame, it is normal for him to swell. Gradually he will understand that he wants to be the second best." Raising Gao Xiaodong is not as easy as imagined."

Gao Xiaodong frowned and said, "I'm worried that this guy will run away without even giving out his name."

Zhang Qi He Hui said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. As long as he wants to stay at Manchester United, he will not dare to leave Xinglong Agency."

Monkey said: "It's hard to say. As long as a young player like Pogba is somewhat famous, there will definitely be many people poaching him."

Zhang Qi said: "The attractiveness of a giant like Manchester United cannot be compared with other teams. With his ability, other giants will not recruit him to be the main player. Since he cannot be the main player, you say Pogba is Should I stay at Manchester United or go to another giant club?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "As long as there is still a chance at Manchester United, Pogba's first choice will definitely be Manchester United, but we must also be prepared. This is the first talented player our company has signed and it is our hope for rise. You can’t just let him go casually.”

Zhang Qi is mature and stable. He attaches great importance to Gao Xiaodong's advice and said: "Well, we must take good care of him. Now I am contacting Pogba with our domestic merchants to give him more opportunities to make money."

Monkey said: "Brother Zhang, I think you should ask for a contract with the adult team for Pogba now. Based on Pogba's performance, I think he deserves a professional contract with Manchester United."

Zhang Qi said: "I am considering whether to sign a professional contract with Manchester United now, or wait until Pogba has a better performance before signing the contract. That way we have more initiative and can sign a bigger contract."

Monkey said: "Having said that, we can't be too optimistic, just in case Pogba doesn't perform well later."

Gao Xiaodong had been listening carefully to the conversation between Monkey and Zhang Qi. At this time, he said, "Young man, what the team looks at is potential. Even if the performance is not good later, it will not give up the contract, but if you want a higher annual salary, It’s better to take advantage of the good times.”

Zhang Qi said: "Although no one knows whether Pogba can play, I still firmly believe that Pogba will play, whether he is at Manchester United or not, so I think it will be better to wait. I am anxious. It should be Manchester United, not us."

Monkey said: "Brother Zhang is right. It's better to wait for Manchester United to come to you."

While the three of them were talking, Zhang Qi's cell phone rang. Zhang Qi glanced at the phone number, made a silent gesture to Gao Xiaodong, Hou Hou and Xiao Le, and then answered the call.

"Hello, Manager David...oh, that's it...ok, uh-huh, I'll go there tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qi said with a smile: "Cao Cao will be here soon. No, David Gill called me and asked me to come over. He probably wanted to discuss Pogba's contract with me."

Gao Xiaodong, Monkey, and Xiao Le are all very happy. If Pogba can sign with the giant Manchester United, it will be a huge improvement to the reputation of Xinglong Agency. With fame, Xinglong Agency will have the opportunity to recruit more and better people. players, for an agency, good players are a cash cow.

The next day, Zhang Qi came to the Manchester United headquarters in Old Trafford at the invitation of Manchester United manager David Gill.

David Gill indeed approached Zhang Qi to discuss Pogba's contract.

During this period, Pogba did not play much time in the FA Cup, but he played very well and scored two goals. You must know that he played against Arsenal and Manchester City, which is a bonus for a young player.

An 18-year-old with such a performance will definitely be coveted by other giants, especially since Pogba does not have an adult team contract yet. Other teams can take Pogba away with only a training fee.

Manchester United's midfield is currently in decline. Scholes, Giggs, and Park Ji-sung are expected to retire next season. Besides, except for Gao Xiaodong, the players have only one function and are very lacking in an all-round midfielder like Pogba.

Therefore, seeing that Pogba had reached his age and performed well, Ferguson quickly asked David Gill to find Pogba's agent to sign a senior team contract.

Zhang Qi did not directly agree to David Gill, saying that the matter was too sudden and that he would go back and discuss it carefully with Pogba. In Zhang Qi's view, although Manchester United is a very good choice, Pogba has great potential and outstanding performance. , He doesn’t have a contract with the adult team yet, so he doesn’t have to worry about his next move. In other words, Xinglong Agency has more initiative and can ask for a higher price.

After returning, Zhang Qi discussed it with Gao Xiaodong, Hou Hou, and Xiao Le, and then called Pogba over.

Pogba was very happy when he heard that Manchester United had started to talk to Zhang Qi about his senior team contract. This was his first time signing a senior team contract and he knew almost nothing. He didn't trust Zhang Qi either, so he went to see Zhang Qi instead. Gao Xiaodong asked himself whether he wanted to sign this contract and what the annual salary would be.

Gao Xiaodong told Pogba that Manchester United is a great team, but his midfielder is currently out of work. Giggs and Scholes will retire soon. As long as Pogba waits patiently, staying at Manchester United is a very good idea. A good choice. As for the annual salary, Gao Xiaodong asked Pogba to listen to his family's opinions and act within his ability.

Although Gao Xiaodong is the actual controller of Xinglong Agency, on the surface, his relationship with Xinglong Agency is just a friend of manager Zhang Qi. For Pogba, he can only give him some advice from the perspective of a big brother. He went back to discuss it with his family.

After Pogba went back to discuss with his family, he came back and told Gao Xiaodong that he hoped Manchester United could give him a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, because he felt that he was worthy of this weekly salary. His teammate Cleverley had previously received it. 50,000 weekly salary.

This weekly salary is incomparable to Gao Xiaodong's weekly salary of more than 1 million pounds. But after all, Pogba is a young man who has only played as a substitute in the FA Cup a few times. However, Gao Xiaodong is not an agent. After all, this weekly salary is He didn't know whether it was high or low. Gao Xiaodong asked Pogba to discuss it with Zhang Qi and Monkey, as they were the professionals.

However, Gao Xiaodong told Pogba that at this time, he should focus on playing more games instead of asking for more money.

After Pogba told Zhang Qi and Monkey his thoughts, both Zhang Qi and Monkey felt that Pogba’s weekly salary was a bit high. I’m afraid Ferguson would not give such a high weekly salary to an 18-year-old kid. After all, Pogba Tomoe has yet to prove himself.

Zhang Qi told Pogba directly that he could ask for such a weekly salary from Manchester United, but Pogba had better adjust his psychological expectations, because Manchester United may not give it. He hopes to get a weekly salary that increases every year.

But Pogba believes that he is fully worthy of such a weekly salary. He said that the starting weekly salary must be at least 35,000 pounds, otherwise it will be a huge loss.

Although Zhang Qi felt that 35,000 pounds was not low, Pogba did have strength and potential, so he promised Pogba to talk to David Gill and see how Manchester United reacted. nt
