Chapter 8 The End

The Dortmund club, which decided to give up Lewandowski, can now devote most of its energy to dealing with Zhouyi's agent Schulze. Ｅ ┡ NovelＷｗＷ． Δ1XIAOSHUO. COM

But when the two sides were negotiating again, Schulze said that they understood the club's current situation and decided to temporarily shelve contract renewal negotiations...

Dortmund went crazy when they heard the news - we finally had our hands free, but what do you mean by temporarily shelving the negotiations? !

Could it be that things have changed again?

What kind of deal do people from Barcelona or Arsenal have with Zhou Yi's agent privately?

Although Schulze said that the reason for temporarily shelving contract renewal negotiations was to understand the club's current situation, Dortmund will not believe what Schulze said. In their view, agents are creatures full of lies. A word worth believing.

There must be something hidden behind this!

After letting Gotze and Lewandowski go in succession, the Dortmund club urgently needs some exciting news to restore their image in the hearts of Dortmund fans.

So they pinned all their hopes on contract renewal negotiations with Zhou Yi. They hope to successfully renew their contract with Zhou Yi. If they can cancel the termination clause, they will definitely tell the world so that all Dortmund fans can know the good news as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, Schulze, you said Zhou Yi does not intend to renew his contract?

Wouldn't this cost Dortmund his life?

For a moment, representatives of the Dortmund club even wanted to regret Lewandowski again...

But of course they can't do this, otherwise Dortmund will really have no credibility in German and even European football.

Therefore, they can only forcefully persuade Schulze to return to the negotiation table for contract renewal. It is easy to discuss any conditions, but don't let it go.

"Look, am I right?" Schulze happily reported the latest attitude of the Dortmund club to Zhou Yi.

"Well, not bad." Zhou Yi nodded.

Although it was previously decided to postpone contract renewal negotiations,

But at that time they didn't know that the club would agree to let Lewandowski leave. After learning the news later, Zhou Yi and Schulze discussed countermeasures again.

After analysis, they decided to continue expressing their intention to suspend contract renewal negotiations to the club.

But this time it's not out of understanding of the club's situation.

Dortmund guessed it right, and doing this now is definitely not because they understand the club's situation.

Schulze analyzed for Zhouyi that Dortmund's ability to give up Lewandowski was like a strong man cutting off his wrist. They lost two main players for a while, which also made them determined to renew their contract with Zhou Yi.

And after letting Lewandowski go, Dortmund will have time and energy to slowly refine the contract terms with Schulze.

This will make Dortmund emboldened.

In order to avoid letting the negotiations fall into Dortmund's rhythm, we must do something that the Dortmund club would never expect.

The suspension of contract renewal negotiations is just such a thing.

This is called retreating to advance.

It seems like there is no talk, but in fact it is putting pressure on Dortmund.

Sure enough, as soon as the Dortmund club heard that Schulze was no longer in talks, they immediately became anxious.

What happened next returned to the rhythm Schulze was familiar with.

Schulze can continue to insist on their conditions. If Dortmund does not agree, then continue to threaten the club with "suspension of contract extension negotiations" to force them to submit.

For Dortmund, giving up Lewandowski will certainly allow them to have more energy and time to negotiate a contract extension with Zhou Yi, but it also leaves them with no way out - in Gotze and Lewandowski With Kidu leaving the team, Zhou Yi has become someone who cannot afford to lose anything. Dortmund would not dare to offend Zhou Yi under any circumstances. If the contract extension with Zhou Yi is not reached this summer, Dortmund's stock price will fall, and there is finally some hope of paying off the debt. If the stock price falls, the blow to Dortmund will probably be greater than Gotze and Lewandowski joining forces to fight against their mortal enemy. Bayern Munich is bigger.

The contract renewal negotiations between Dortmund and Zhou Yi are proceeding very slowly, but they are still moving forward little by little. This is the only good news for the Dortmund club.

From the end of last season until Zhou Yi returned to the team early, and then to the Dortmund first team reporting for training, it was not until three days before the Dortmund team was preparing to leave for China that the agreement was finally reached.

Zhouyi renewed his contract with Dortmund for four years, and the new contract will expire in 2o17.

In order to retain Zhou Yi as much as possible, Dortmund can be said to have spent a lot of money - they offered Zhou Yi an astonishing annual salary of 8 million euros!

This is higher than Gotze's previous top salary of 4.6 million, and it is also a full million higher than the 7 million euros annual salary Dortmund is prepared to offer Lewandowski.

In fact, seven million euros is the maximum salary, but Dortmund was afraid that the salary of seven million euros would make Zhou Yi think that he was just a backup tire for Lewandowski, so they added another one million euros to this basis.

This is really the salary condition that Dortmund gritted its teeth and offered.

In this regard, Schulze did not put forward any excessive conditions.

Schulze is happy to see the annual salary figure proposed by Dortmund himself. The player he represents can become Dortmund's highest-paid player, which somewhat satisfies his little vanity as an agent.

The key and essence of this renewal contract is the termination clause.

Under Schulze's strong insistence, a termination clause was still included in the new contract, but the amount of the termination clause was increased a lot. This can be regarded as the concession made by Zhou Yi and Schulze, or the sincerity of staying in Dortmund.

According to the new contract, starting from the last year of Zhouyi's contract with Dortmund, any team that can offer a transfer fee of 90 million euros can directly take Zhouyi away.

Ninety million euros is definitely a huge sum of money for Dortmund. If any club is willing to spend so much money, even Zhou Yi, they will seriously consider selling it.

Therefore, this termination clause is acceptable to Dortmund.

Zhou Yi can also accept it, because he feels that if he continues to perform like last season, he should be worth more than 90 million euros in a few years.

At that time, if the team that is interested in him is really sincere, they will not mind spending 90 million euros to "redemption" themselves. If you refuse to pay the money, it first means that the other club does not really need you, and secondly, it means that this team is not strong enough and is not worthy of you.

This number is like a touchstone, which can test the sincerity of the team pursuing Zhou Yi. It can also help Zhou Yi screen out many unreliable teams, terminate Zhou Yi's contract, and narrow his choice.

Out of these considerations, Zhou Yi agreed to the €90 million termination clause proposed by Dortmund.

Dortmund is generally satisfied with this contract, and Zhou Yi is also very satisfied.

Both parties feel that they have earned something.

After the contract was negotiated, and before Zhou Yi signed with the club, Dortmund couldn't wait to announce that they would renew Zhou Yi's contract.

"... We are very happy that Zhou Yi has chosen to stand together with the club in this troubled time!"

Dortmund's official Twitter account posted such a tweet, which was quickly forwarded by the media and Dortmund fans.

This is equivalent to an official announcement that Zhou Yi will stay in Dortmund.

Just as the Dortmund club predicted and hoped, after the news was spread, the fans who had previously wanted to scold the club for being stingy and stupid now no longer bothered to scold Dortmund and praised the club's efforts one after another. Praise Zhou Yi Zhien for his kindness...

For a time, public opinion seemed to be happy.

The departures of Gotze and Lewandowski were never mentioned again.

It's as if Zhou Yi staying alone can offset the negative impact of the two people leaving...

The day before Dortmund left for China, Zhou Yi held a signing ceremony with the Dortmund club at the Brackel training base.

Witnessed by multiple reporters and club leaders, Zhou Yi and Watzke signed their names on the contract.

Then they held up Zhou Yi's jersey and took a group photo in front of the camera.

In the photo, Watzk is smiling brightly and his face is red.

He was truly happy with the result.

At least for a while, he didn't have to think about Schulze's face that made him almost vomit.

At the signing ceremony, Watzke highly praised Zhou Yi to reporters: "Everyone will eventually remember who is the truly important and indispensable person in Dortmund. I am happy and proud of Zhou Yi's choice. The contract extension is no less than a great signing. We very much look forward to Dortmund continuing to maintain its consistent competitiveness in the new season under the leadership of Zhou Yi..."

The reporters piled their microphones in front of Zhou Yi, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"I'm very happy to renew my contract with the club. As I said before, I would like to stay in Dortmund. I am very happy here in Dortmund. I have many friends here - and I don't mean just my teammates... "Zhou Yi talked eloquently in front of a lot of microphones. "I don't know what difficulties we will face in the new season, and I can't guarantee anything. But I will go all out and do my best to help the team. This is to repay the fans for their love for me."

As he spoke, reporters kept pressing their camera shutters below.

That night, these photos appeared on the Internet. The news of Zhouyi's contract extension with Dortmund was finally confirmed. Those Dortmund fans who had been talking about their uneasiness were relieved, while those who had been waiting to see Dortmund's jokes were relieved. feel disappointed.

In any case, this summer, Dortmund's biggest soap opera finally came to an end.
