Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card Chapter 094

Ferguson and David Gill returned to Manchester immediately.

As they emerged from the airport, the reporters who had been waiting for them swarmed forward.

“Sir Alex, are you personally going to sign Ye Chen this time?”

“Can’t disclose that for now,” Ferguson replied simply.

“You once said that Manchester United’s door would be forever closed to Ye, so why are you personally going all the way to Germany to sign him now?”

David Gill frowned, and said in a deep voice, “Which newspaper are you from?”

The reporter quickly shrank his neck and hid in the crowd.

But Ferguson still smiled, “I did say those words before, but I must admit one thing: compared to saying the wrong thing, missing a genius player like Ye is unforgivable! I announce that from today onwards, Manchester United’s door is always open to Ye!”

The reporters present gasped!

Is Ye really that good?

After all, Ye Chen’s fame had risen too quickly, and many reporters didn’t know much about him.

They only knew that he had created a new football legend.

But out of British pride, they didn’t pay too much attention to Bundesliga news.

Because England was the center of world football!

Ferguson was very satisfied with the reporters’ reactions, “Ye promised he would seriously consider it. We will announce the specific news on our official website later. Of course, this time we promised Ye very generous terms, including giving him the No. 7 jersey in the future!”

“Boom!”

Ferguson’s words were like a huge bomb, instantly stunning the reporters.

Of course, Ferguson didn’t say anything else.

Manchester United had shown great sincerity this time, but unfortunately, Ye Chen still rejected them.

Ye Chen, far away in Dortmund, didn’t know any of this. They were currently discussing the contract extension with Watzke and Klopp.

Ye Chen originally thought he understood contracts well, but when Mendes began to negotiate with them, he realized how naive he was.

First, there was the team’s positioning.

Previously, Ye Chen had signed a contract as a breakthrough new star for the team.

The upper limit for this level of contract was 25, 000 euros/week.

But this time, Mendes wanted a “regular starter” level contract for the first team!

Higher than “regular starter” contracts were only for star players and key players.

Although Ye Chen was only 17 years old, his performance was good enough to be a starter.

This contract, in addition to the weekly salary, would also include a loyalty bonus.

In addition, agent fees were to be paid, as well as a series of additional clauses previously agreed upon with Ye Chen.

Everything was increased on the original basis.

If all went well, Ye Chen would soon receive his first “Bundesliga Player of the Month” and “Bundesliga Young Player of the Month” bonuses.

After all, Ye Chen’s consecutive hat-tricks had made this award a foregone conclusion!

Mendes’s negotiations focused more on future demands.

He demanded a 10% annual increase in the contract.

But Ye Chen had different ideas.

“Boss, how about we go big!”

“Tell me!”

“If we win the German Cup, my contract increases by 15%; if we win the Bundesliga, my contract increases by 20%; if we can win the Champions League, my contract increases by 25%!”

“What if the team wins nothing?”

“I’ll just forgo the increase!” Ye Chen said simply and directly, “If there are no championships, how can I have the face to ask for an increase?”

“Okay, you said it!”

“What if we win both the German Cup and the Bundesliga double?”

“Anyway, no matter how many championships, based on 10%, each championship adds five percent!” Klopp said very generously. If the team won championships, they wouldn’t be short of that much!

“No, that’s not right. A double crown should get an additional 5%!”

“Alright, alright!” Klopp was in a good mood and didn’t dwell too much on a small request.

Mendes next to him covered his head. Didn’t he tell this kid not to talk? What if Dortmund didn’t win a championship, wouldn’t that be terrible?

The negotiations lasted a full morning.

Because Ye Chen was a young player, the commission Mendes received wasn’t particularly high, only 1 million euros.

Ye Chen’s contract, on the other hand, changed from the previous 20, 000 euros to 40, 000 euros, and his annual salary increased from 1 million euros to 2 million euros.

Most importantly, the buyout clause increased from 50 million euros to 88.88 million euros!

Of course, this wasn’t the era when any young talent would cost 100 million euros in later years. Let’s just say, buying Cristiano Ronaldo only cost 96 million euros!

No, why “only”?

In Dortmund, the highest salary at this stage belonged to the 32-year-old captain Kehl, at 50, 000 euros per week.

Besides playing, he also helped Klopp manage the locker room and was a core figure of the team.

Ye Chen’s weekly salary was at the same level as Shinji Kagawa, Mats Hummels, and Robert Lewandowski.

This was their new contract after they collectively renewed after winning the Bundesliga.

It was clear that Dortmund was truly sincere!

Ye Chen naturally lived up to this sincerity, and the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly.

After the morning negotiations, at 2 PM German time, Dortmund held a press conference for Ye Chen’s contract extension.

The much-hyped Ye Chen transfer saga ended here!

“Dortmund’s prodigy Ye Chen renews with Borussia Dortmund, buyout clause increased to 88.88 million euros!”

“Signing and renewing immediately? Ye Chen creates new Bundesliga history!”

“Dortmund’s new striker Ye Chen successfully renews! Are Bundesliga teams ready?”

“Ye Chen: I love everything about Dortmund, I want to write my story here!”

News of the press conference spread worldwide.

Of course, this news made countless Dortmund fans cheer!

“I love Ye even more, what should I do!”

“Ye, why don’t you break up with Lina? I want to have your babies!”

“Who said you have to break up with Ye to have his babies! I can too without breaking up!”

“I really want him to take a powerful shot at me…”

But one family was happy, and another was sad.

Manchester United fans were instantly heartbroken…

“They’re really ungrateful!”

“Sir Alex didn’t even coach the game, he personally came to poach you with a buyout clause and offered you the No. 7, and you still wouldn’t come!”

“That’s it, Ye Chen is a lifelong hater!”

“And they called him a Manchester United kid, what an ingrate!”

Manchester United fans were in pain…

After Ferguson went to Dortmund, they had already considered Ye Chen as their own player.

And the video of Ye Chen participating in the Manchester United U 18 derby had also become popular again.

Countless fans called Ye Chen “Beckham 2.0”!

Even Beckham, who was playing in the US, expressed his opinion: Ye is truly an incredible player, and I sincerely hope he can return to Manchester United!

But the transfer soap opera concluded, and Dortmund had the last laugh!

After renewing his contract, Ye Chen did not leave with his agent but immediately threw himself into training.

Even when he left the Dortmund training base at night, there was still a large group of loyal Dortmund fans waiting for Ye Chen outside.

Ye Chen also got out of the car and signed autographs and took photos with the fans present, but the fans were not relentless.

They knew Ye Chen had trained hard all day, so they voluntarily made way for him to go home.

After returning home, he collapsed on the sofa. Recalling everything that happened today, Ye Chen understood why clubs were willing to negotiate with agents even though they knew agents would take a commission.

It was more efficient during negotiations!

Oh, right, I haven’t collected the reward for the Dresden match yet…

“Ding, congratulations to the host for exceeding the mission requirements, leading the team to five consecutive victories and achieving the first five-goal haul of your life, extra reward: one Diamond Treasure Chest!”

Hiss…

Ye Chen gasped!

The Diamond Treasure Chest he had been dreaming of was here again!
