The Strongest Demon Front

Half of January is over.

It is already approaching the time of Chinese Lunar New Year.

Manchester United's headquarters are located on Sir Busby Street in Manchester. On the gate in front of the club, two Chinese characters of blessing were clearly pasted.

After Chu Ge joined, the century-old club has more and more Chinese elements.

Manchester United CEO Woodward's office.

Jean Reno in a well-fitting suit sat opposite Santoko.

Woodward looked at Renault with a smile on his face, and Renault also smiled, holding a document and flipping through it carefully.

"Mr. Renault is still careful. We have already negotiated these terms when we signed the contract. Now it is only confirmed that they are effective, and you have to check them word by word, haha!"

Woodward laughed.

Jean Renault was already quite familiar with this Manchester United executive. He knew that the other party was joking with him, and he was not annoyed. He just smiled and said: "After all, he is doing things for others."

Woodward nodded and said no more.

Ten minutes later.

Renault nodded.

"No problem. I will confirm with Chu later, and then I can formally sign."

"Well, I'm glad to continue working with you." Woodward stood up and offered his hand.

"Happy cooperation." Jean Renault also extended his hand.

After the two shook hands, Woodward hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but asked: "There is something I want to know. I heard that Paris Saint-Germain is contacting you again and promised a very generous condition. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Renault smiled and glanced at Woodward.

"Those are all made up by the media. Both Chu and I are very well-behaved people. Without the permission of the club, I will not discuss any terms with other clubs in private."

Woodward rubbed his hands together and smiled sheepishly.

"Ha ha,

I don't mean that. Just casual chatting, lol! "

When the transfer period came, all kinds of transfer news were flying all over the sky.

As the core player in the Manchester United team, he is also the best talented star in the world today. Regardless of whether Chu Ge intends to transfer or not, there are not a few clubs that are interested in him. The media also likes to hype all the news about him. .

According to FIFA regulations, the transfer of players needs the permission of the player's club, and no team can privately contact the transfer target without permission.

However, regulations are dead, but people are alive.

There are always various ways to circumvent this regulation.

Therefore, there are French media reports that Paris has contacted Chu Ge's agent in private, wanting to test the possibility of Chu Ge's transfer.

This is not the first time Paris has expressed interest in Chu Ge.

And this time, in order to attract Chu Ge to join, according to this French media report, Paris Saint-Germain is going to offer the highest salary in football with an annual salary of 30 million to persuade the future top football player to vote.

After today's salary increase, Chu Ge's weekly salary at Manchester United has risen sharply from 200,000 pounds to 290,000 pounds.

This is a salary increase that was already booked when the transfer last summer. After the match against Liverpool, Chu Ge triggered the maximum salary clause in the contract.

The meeting between Woodward and Jean Reno today was mainly to confirm the entry into force of the maximum salary clause.

However, even with the team's top salary, Chu Ge's annual salary is only ranked second in the Premier League, behind Ronaldo, Messi, and stars who play in the Super League in the world.

Compared with the rumored annual salary of 30 million euros offered by Greater Paris, it is even farther away.

Therefore, after seeing the rumors, Woodward had to feel nervous.

The importance of Chu Ge to Manchester United is self-evident.

In a sense, it is precisely because of his arrival that Manchester United has become the second place in the Premier League and a contender for the league title from a team fighting for the Champions League qualification. If he leaves Manchester United, it will be an unbearable burden for the team.

Although the player has a contract with the club, no team can forcibly take him away without the club's permission.

However, the relationship between top players and clubs is more of a cooperative relationship than a simple contractual constraint.

If the player is determined to leave, the club can at most strive for a reasonable price, which cannot completely prevent the player from leaving.

Just like when Ronaldo left Manchester United.

Ronaldo left Manchester United, Woodward still feels very regretful. At that time, he was not the club CEO of Manchester United, so he was naturally powerless. Now that he's at the helm of the club, Woodward definitely doesn't want the same thing to happen a second time.

Whether it is due to competitive considerations or commercial market reasons, Manchester United cannot accept the loss of Chu Ge's departure.

Jean Reno knew what Woodward was thinking.

He smiled and said: "Chu is not yet nineteen years old, and everyone knows how good he is. Excellent players will naturally attract the attention of excellent and ambitious clubs. This is a normal thing."

"That's, that's," Woodward agreed.

"When he chatted with me, he mentioned many times that he was very happy here. Whether it was the fans here, or Ferguson, Manchester United's teammates and the team's staff, he felt like coming home. He I hope to stay here for many years." Jean Renault said unhurriedly.

"That's what we hope too." Woodward said hastily.

"And I believe that as long as the team correctly recognizes Chu's contribution and keeps him happy, I think he will stay here forever. Didn't Wayne Rooney just break Sir Charlton's goal yesterday? Is it a record? I believe that if Chu stays at Manchester United, it will only be a matter of time before he breaks this record."

Woodward couldn't help but nodded again when he heard the words.

Chu Ge will not turn nineteen in three months, and he is already the top scorer in the Premier League.

The scoring efficiency of one goal per game is astonishing.

If he has maintained such a stable and efficient scoring efficiency, let alone scoring 250 goals, as long as Chu Ge has played for Manchester United for long enough, no matter how many goals are possible.

"We would definitely like to see Chu Ge play for Manchester United for a long time, or even play for Manchester United until he retires. He will definitely become a legend of Manchester United, and even a unique passing star." Woodward said.

Jean Reno just smiled.

Woodward knew that just talking about it would definitely not be able to impress the agent, let alone convince Chu Ge.

"Let's do this." Woodward thought for a moment, and said: "If Manchester United ranks in the top four or even higher in the league this season, we will re-sign a contract at the end of the season. Try to show the greatest sincerity within the allowable range of income and expenditure. Chu is the number one star in the Premier League, and his weekly salary will also be the highest in the Premier League."

Woodward made a promise.

After some discussions.

Woodward and Renault reached a rough agreement.

If Manchester United wins the top four in the league this season, Chu Ge's weekly salary will rise from 290,000 pounds to 320,000 pounds.

This is by far the highest weekly salary in the Premier League.

If Manchester United maintains its current ranking and ends the season in second place in the league, Chu Ge's weekly salary will directly reach 350,000 pounds.

And if Manchester United wins the league this season, Chu Ge's weekly salary will be directly increased to 400,000 pounds.

This salary is not only the first in the Premier League, but also significantly ahead of all other Premier League stars. Even if it is placed on a global scale, it is not far from the annual salary of Ronaldo and Messi.

It can be said that it is very sincere.

At the same time, Woodward also promised a generous signing bonus.

In his opinion, if Manchester United can really win the championship, no matter how much it pays, it is worth it. Even if Chu Ge is given a high-paying contract, the club will gain more commercial income from it.

This is completely a win-win choice.
