Beat Pohang Steelers to advance to the AFC Champions League final. FC Seoul has once again surprised everyone after winning the league title.

After the game, the news media reported at length on their first AFC Champions League final, recalling every step they had taken in the past year. Almost everyone in the team is a hero. Of course, there are also heroes big and small, and Li Xuyan is naturally the biggest hero, and it can be said that Seoul FC is almost carried forward by him alone.

So far this season, he has scored 29 goals in the league and nine in the AFC Champions League, many of which were decisive goals that he turned the tide, which shows the importance of Li Xuyan to this team.

Looking back now, Günesh was right to persuade the club to sign a contract with Li Xuyan to meet his annual salary of $700,000. 700,000, in exchange for the first league championship in the team's history, and a very promising AFC Champions League champion, this is really profitable!

But Li Xuyan performed so well that another problem surfaced, which became a big problem for the club managers to not sleep well at night.

That's -- renewal.

……

"Renewal?" General Manager Xu Yongchang was stunned for a moment when he heard Güneshi's words: "Didn't you just renew the contract?" ”

"The last time I renewed my contract was two years, and now it's almost a year ago. ”

In other words, Li Xuyan's contract has one year left, and generally speaking, it is time to renew the contract......

Xu Yongchang was carried away by the happiness of the team's recent good results, and he forgot about it at all, and now after reacting, he immediately covered his forehead.

As soon as he talked about this contract renewal, Xu Yongchang felt a headache.

He still remembers the process of renewing his contract with Li Xuyan last time, and it is not Li Xuyan who has a headache. It's that broker.

The chubby Buddha is like Maitreya, and it turns out to be more vampire than a vampire! As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the highest salary in the team at that time!

As a result, he brought a bad head to all the players' agents, and for a while, everyone asked for a salary increase.

Even if the investor of Seoul FC has money, he, as a manager, can't spend it at will......

I finally renewed the contract, but I didn't expect to renew the contract so soon. All of this was planted at the last contract renewal!

Who called the last one that was only renewed for a year and a half?

But what could he do? If you don't sign it, I'm afraid that Li Xuyan will switch to his team in the middle of this season. It's just that I only signed a contract with someone for half a year at first, so it's really not binding......

Later, I felt that although the salary was a little higher, the performance was really good, and now that the team has won the league championship, I also feel that I have the credit for this contract renewal. Xu Yongchang finally felt that Li Xuyan's salary level was worthy of his performance.

At this time, it was time to renew the contract......

If you renew your contract. With the style of Li Xuyan's smiling Buddha agent, he will definitely ask for a salary increase, which is 700,000 dollars, which is already the highest salary for Asian players in the club, how can it be raised? Is Seoul really a tyrant?

He was really a little afraid to see that fat man with a smiling tiger's face......

But I still have to negotiate with the other party to renew the contract. Looking at it now, Li Xuyan plays a great role in the team, and his personal strength is also very strong, and he really can't let him go.

……

Li Xuyan is sweating in the community gym. Calm your mind by venting your excess energy.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it was the agent Che Zhenman calling.

Li Xuyan slowed down the speed of the treadmill. Then put on my headphones and picked up the phone.

"The club is going to talk to you about renewing your contract, Xu Yan." Che Zhenman got straight to the point.

Li Xuyan was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, really?"

He didn't expect this question, but the club actually thought of it first. Then he reacted, and there was one year left on his contract. It's time for the club to find itself......

This is normal, and the risk of not renewing the club is increasing.

But he didn't want to renew his contract.

It used to be nice for him, with teammates he liked, people he liked, if he could. He had thought he would be here forever.

But now he doesn't think so, in recent months, he always seems to feel that there is a stronger and stronger evil aura in his heart, which makes him especially want to get a bigger stage and desire greater success. He's going to Europe, he's going to play in the Champions League, he's going to play in the top league, he's going to make himself a real star, he's going to be able to see him on the TV by the people he cares about......

So, Seoul, can no longer satisfy him.

"Uncle Che, I don't want to renew my contract......"

Che Zhenman seemed to be a little surprised by Li Xuyan's answer, stunned, and asked, "Oh? Have you already decided? ”

"Well, I want to go to a better league."

Che Zhenman was silent and said, "Okay, I'll help you reject them." ”

"Hmm...... Wait a minute...... I don't want to make the relationship too stiff when I refuse......"

"I'll do something, don't worry, Xu Yan." Che Zhenman agreed and hung up the phone.

Li Xuyan finally made a decision, and he was relieved, this was actually not an easy decision for him, although he had decided that he would not stay anymore, but when he really decided to leave, his heart would still inexplicably surge with reluctance.

Just as he was out of his mind, a familiar voice came from the side......

"Who are you not going to renew your contract with?"

Li Xuyan came back to his senses and saw that it was Lin Yun'er, who was standing on the treadmill next to him in a sports tightsuit and began to jog.

Since Girls' Generation moved over, Lin Yuna has also been a frequent visitor to this health club, but they rarely met before.

"The agent called, and the club wanted to renew my contract, but I refused." Li Xuyan didn't hide it in the face of Lin Yun'er - or he really wanted to tell her.

"Huh? Why? Although Lin Yun'er has always had a bad impression of Li Xuyan, this does not affect her pursuit of gossip.

"Because ......"

"It can't be because of Taeyeon......" Lim Yoona smirked half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Li Xuyan felt as if Lin Yun'er had seen through something, and this feeling made him feel a little weak, but he quickly calmed down and pretended to be heroic: "I just want to pursue a bigger challenge, and the center of world football is in Europe." I want to go there......"

Lin Yun'er didn't respond this time.

Although she was very disdainful of Li Xuyan, she actually knew how successful Li Xuyan was this year, and the Korean league was already too small for him, just like Girls' Generation, which reached its peak in South Korea, and the company was already ready to start operating their development to Japan and overseas. Li Xuyan should be the same. For the world of football. South Korea, and even Asia, are too backward and remote, and no matter how famous they are in this league, they are not considered stars. Look at Park Ji-sung, if he hadn't gone to Europe and gone to Manchester United, who knows who the top star of South Korea is?

Lin Yuner seems to have suddenly realized that Li Xuyan seems to be getting more and more promising, and he is no longer the obscure fledgling little player he used to be, putting aside the shortcomings of "big carrots". He's talented enough, rich enough, good enough.

Hey? What am I thinking? Whether he is promising, excellent or not, what does it have to do with me?

Lin Yun'er, who suddenly woke up, was a little embarrassed......

"Well, are you listening to me?" Li Xuyan was pretending to be impassioned to give Lin Yun'er a look forward to his future, but Lin Yun'er didn't seem to listen to his nonsense at all, which made his performance a little embarrassing.

"Ahh I'm listening. ”

Lin Yun'er came back to her senses and felt that it was a shame that her opinion of the person in front of her was so easily shaken, but she did see Li Xuyan as unpleasant as before......

It made her feel a little frightened. It even upset her.

"Ahh She pretended to thump herself on the shoulder, then stopped the treadmill.

Li Xuyan stared at her suspiciously: "Didn't you just come?" Is this tired? ”

Lin Yun'er glared at him: "I want you to take care of it, I'll go back and rest!" ”

Then he decisively threw Li Xuyan a dashing back.

Li Xuyan rolled his eyes, it was not the first time he had learned about Lin Yun'er's style, so he didn't think much about it. He just shook his head and sighed......

"Women are just inexplicable!"

……

After returning to the dormitory, Lim Yoona did not go to rest, but found Kim Tae-yeon, who was focusing on nail art in her room.

"Sister Taeyeon, do you know who I just met?"

"Who?" Kim Taeyeon looked intently at her fingernails and lightly embellished them with a touch of bright pink. Blur a dazzling array of colors.

"It's Li Xuyan, I heard him talking on the phone, he said that he is not renewing his contract with the team and wants to go to Europe!" Lim Yoona said as she looked at Kim Tae-yeon.

I saw a flash of surprise in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, and accidentally brushed the pink on her nails and stained her hands, but in an instant she acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and then repainted it, without raising her head, and said, "Oh, so what?" ”

So what......

Lin Yuna was choked, she didn't expect Kim Taeyeon's reaction to be so bland, so she couldn't gossip, so she could only laugh embarrassedly, "It's nothing, I'm just talking casually......"

When Lim Yoona walked out, Kim Taeyeon's hand movements stopped, and she sat on the bed in a daze, but there was an emotion that was quietly surging in the depths of her heart......

……

The next day, after training, Güneshi left Li Xuyan alone. Li Xuyan didn't know how Che Zhenman rejected the club, but he saw Güneshi cough: "Xuyan." I know it's good for young people to have pursuits, but sometimes you have to be measured......"

Li Xuyan listened silently, and he intuitively felt that what the head coach said to him must have something to do with the renewal of the contract.

After saying goodbye to the manager, he called Cha Zhenman and asked him how he was talking with the club.

Che Zhenman said confidently: "Don't worry, I rejected them in a very tactful way, I think it will take a long time, they shouldn't mention this matter again!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Che, how did you refuse them?"

"I'm talking to them, and if you renew your contract, you're asking for a salary increase of $2 million a year......"

"Huh?!"

Li Xuyan's face was a little burned.

Is this still tactful? Directly tripled the asking price...... Li Xuyan knew that this was definitely the highest salary in the team and even in the entire K League, much more than those foreign aides from Europe and the United States in the league.

It's over, the reputation is ruined......

Such a big guy must think that he is crazy about money......

Li Xuyan has a little opinion on Cha Zhenman's way of refusing, but if you think about it, it's not a bad thing to have a lot of money anyway, if you really have a two-million-dollar contract, it's okay, but Seoul FC will definitely not agree, unless they go crazy.

And Li Xuyan didn't want the club to agree, if they really agreed, he wouldn't be able to leave......

So, the stage is still far away, not here.

He doesn't plan to stay at FC Seoul next season. After winning the AFC Champions League, he left, and left during the transfer period of the European League in the winter, I believe that with his performance, he should be able to find a new owner who is no worse than Li Qinglong, right?

Of course, this is just a matter of thinking about it now, but the possibilities for the future are always endless...... (To be continued.) )
