Chapter 235 Contract Renewal Strategy
After a meal, Zhou Yi and Schulze have decided not to transfer this summer, but to renew their contracts with the club. In fact, Zhou Yi does not have to renew his contract. Anyway, his contract will not expire until July 2016, which is still three full years from now.
If he really wants to leave, he can wait until his contract expires and transfer on a free transfer. The new club doesn't need to pay Dortmund a transfer fee, so it can ask for more in terms of annual salary and various bonuses.
But Zhou Yi did not intend to do this. It is said that Dortmund trained him and gave him a chance. Even if he leaves Dortmund in the future, he hopes to give Dortmund something in return.
In addition to championships, these rewards are also very important.
If he leaves Dortmund one day and can earn a large transfer fee for Dortmund, that would of course be the best.
With the 30 million termination clause in the current contract with Dortmund, the binding force on Zhouyi is really too low.
If it is now announced in the transfer market that Zhouyi only needs 30 million euros to take him away, then it is estimated that the threshold of the Dortmund club will be crossed.
At just 22 years old, he has already won three league championships, led the Bundesliga in assists for three consecutive seasons, and led Dortmund to the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals of the Champions League. Is it worth 30 million to have such a performance?
If Zhou Yi does not renew his contract, Dortmund will continue to face harassment from other teams starting this summer, which will make them extremely annoyed. And before the start of the last season, the buyout clause officially comes into effect, and Zhou Yi will be snapped up by European giants almost instantly. By then, Zhou Yi can be like an emperor choosing his concubine, and have free time to let those clubs offer the most generous contracts. for him to choose. As for the Dortmund club... they can still watch from the sidelines, waiting for the last 30 million. When they renewed the contract with Zhou Yi, they thought it was quite a lot, but now they feel that 3,000 is no different than sending away beggars... …
Zhou Yi still has feelings for Dortmund. In fact, Dortmund has treated him well all along, and there is no need for him to be scolded as ungrateful or anything like that when he leaves.
First of all, he will not decide to transfer to his archrival before the season is over, like Gotze did.
Secondly, he also hopes that when he leaves, he can minimize Dortmund's losses.
However, there are certain considerations when it comes to renewing a contract. Although Zhou Yi has feelings for Dortmund, it does not mean that Dortmund can do whatever they want in terms of the contract, even if it is shit, Zhou Yi will eat it.
The bottom line Zhou Yi gave Schulze is that there must be a buyout clause, and the price can be slightly higher, no problem.
Zhou Yi believes that with his own strength, even if the break-up fee is astronomical, there will be wealthy families willing to pay it when the time comes. But if there is no such clause, then Zhouyi will have no choice but to let others decide, allowing Dortmund to decide whether to sell itself or not.
Although his relationship with Dortmund is not bad now, who knows what the result will be in a few years.
When Shinji Kagawa came to Dortmund, didn't he have a good relationship with the Dortmund club? Later, there was a falling out over the contract renewal issue, and Shinji Kagawa transferred to Manchester United.
After all, everything in the world is turbulent for our own benefit. Everything is a benefit.
When there are common interests, everyone has a good relationship. Once there is a conflict of interest, no matter how good the relationship is, it will not last.
Zhou Yi cannot guarantee that he and Dortmund will never have a conflict of interest in the future, so some preventive measures are necessary. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.
Based on this consideration, there must be a break clause.
As long as there is this clause, the annual salary will be lower. Zhou Yi doesn't care about money very much now. His various commercial sponsorships can generate an income of several million euros every year. Plus the annual salary and various bonuses, it is actually a thousand euros. Thousands of euros.
And he is not the kind of person who particularly likes to pursue material things. He still rents a house in Germany and has not bought a house. He has never taken the driver's license test, so he has not bought a car. I don't have a girlfriend now, so I don't need to spend too much money on women. Essentially, he is a homebody. He plays games at home and chats with friends online. Even though his spare time life is colorful, he doesn't have much nightlife and doesn't like to go out and socialize with all kinds of people.
So in fact, if he makes so much money, he and his family will not be able to spend it all in several lifetimes.
His pursuit of money is not as urgent as when he first debuted.

The final round of the league has ended, and the competition for the league championship has settled.
Dortmund and Bayern Munich competed for a season, but they still had the last laugh.
In addition to the most eye-catching championship, the end of the league also ended other suspense. Such as European qualification.
The Bundesliga has a total of four Champions League places, of which the top three will directly participate in the main draw, while the fourth will start from the Champions League qualifying rounds.
Champion Dortmund naturally qualified to directly participate in the main match, as did second-placed Bayern Munich in the league.
The third place in the league belongs to Bayer Leverkusen with 62 points.
After Yang Muge's Schalke 04 was eliminated from the Champions League, they sprinted hard in the league and finally caught the last train. They ranked fourth with 52 points and qualified for the Champions League qualifying rounds. And this point is only one point higher than Freiburg and Frankfurt, which are fifth and sixth in the league...
The latter two can only participate in the Europa League.
Two relegated teams were also confirmed, Hoffenheim and Fürth were relegated. Dusseldorf, ranked third from bottom, has qualified for the relegation play-offs. If they can defeat their opponents in the relegation play-offs, they can still stay in the Bundesliga.
At the end of the season, various statistical rankings will be released.
The team with the strongest offensive firepower in the league is Bayern Munich. They scored 94 goals in 34 league games, and their opponents also gave them four own goals.
Dortmund is the team with the second strongest offensive power, with 91 goals.
In the entire Bundesliga, this is the first level of performance.
The other teams are nowhere close to either of them.
For example, Bayer Leverkusen, which has the third most goals, only has 65 goals.
On the scorer list, the person who eventually became the league's top scorer was Dortmund's Lewandowski. With 26 goals, he beat Bayer Leverkusen's Kiessling's 25 goals and topped the league scorer list. Number one.
At the top of the assists list is Zhou Yi. With 23 assists, he deserves to be the Bundesliga assists king for three consecutive seasons.
His lead is very large - Franck Ribery, who has the second most assists, only has 14 assists, nine less than Zhou Yi.

With the league title in hand, Dortmund has one last game left this season, which is the Champions League final.
Reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 16 years, Dortmund's performance this season has set off a youth storm throughout Europe. Many people hope that they can end the season with a championship.
But Bayern Munich is not easy to deal with either.
Before the game, Gotze's injury finally attracted people's attention again.
Everyone is very concerned about whether Gotze can participate in the Champions League final.
Gotze has been absent from Dortmund's training and games since straining a thigh muscle in a crucial title win against Bayern Munich.
After the last round of the league, Gotze was not able to resume training with the team, but trained alone.
This makes his prospects of participating in the Champions League final much bleaker.
Although Zhou Yi's performance was outstanding, he was able to reduce the negative impact of Gotze's injury a lot. But if Gotze can play, wouldn't it increase Dortmund's hopes of winning the championship?
In this kind of strong dialogue, even an increase of one percent advantage may determine the outcome.
As the Champions League final approaches, everyone is concerned about this issue.
However, just three days before the final, Dortmund officially announced that Mario Gotze would not be able to participate in the Champions League final because he could not recover from injury in time.
As soon as the news came out, people were also disappointed.
Before it was revealed that he was going to Bayern Munich, Gotze was the absolute main force of the team and made great contributions to the team's ability to keep up with Bayern Munich in the league and to reach the Champions League final.
His importance to the team is self-evident.
However, an injury during the game against Bayern Munich caused him to miss the most critical moments. First, he missed the deadline for the league title, and now he has to miss the Champions League final. You must know that Dortmund's ability to reach the Champions League final is inseparable from his goal in the second round of the semi-finals.
As a professional player, Gotze has never participated in the Champions League final. He sent the team to the final, but he missed the final due to injury.
Even if he has decided to leave, this thing is really sad enough.
In any case, Gotze is still a Dortmund player, and he really tried his best to win the Dortmund championship - even though he was injured.
In the end, he was unable to appear on the final stage. Regardless of whether Dortmund won the championship or not, this was definitely Gotze's biggest personal tragedy. (To be continued)).
