380. The transfer is completed (ask for a recommendation ticket on Monday)
Unlike Manchester City's timidity, Manchester United really don't care about their relationship with Real Madrid.
Or rather, the relationship between the two clubs is not close.
Back then, when Ronaldo wanted to go to Real Madrid, Ferguson always wanted to send Ronaldo to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid.
It's just that Ronaldo is a child's dream, and the lord can't twist his arms and thighs, so he has to give up.
Otherwise, if Ronaldo goes to Barcelona and joins forces, I am afraid that the current football world will be completely chaotic, and football will usher in its finale......
Last summer, Real Madrid hooked up with Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea for a summer, which made Manchester United very unhappy.
In the end, the deal collapsed mysteriously because of the fax machine, and it became an unsolved case that summer.
It is precisely because of the previous poor relationship that Manchester United have been very strong in this transfer.
If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, you will strike with thunder.
They don't even have a tentative offer.
Direct liquidated damages in the face.
The things that can be solved with money are definitely not more beeps.
After getting Chu Ge's authorization, the contract negotiations between Renault and Manchester United CEO Woodward are also going very well.
Manchester United are serious about establishing Chu Ge as their core player.
Therefore, in terms of annual salary, they directly offered the second highest salary in the team, and it is also the first salary in the Premier League.
£200,000 per week.
The Premier League's tax rate is 40%, which is about 7 million a week after tax if converted into euros.
Real Madrid's contract renewal for Chu Ge has an annual salary of 5.5 million.
Even if there is an increase in subsequent negotiations, it will not reach the level of Manchester United's contract.
And more importantly, Manchester United gave 100% of the player's portrait rights to Chu Ge.
This also means that all of Manchester United's marketing activities, wherever Chu Ge's image rights are used, will pay an additional fee.
Manchester United is the most commercially capable club in the world.
The income from image rights, plus the annual salary, Chu Ge's annual income from Manchester United is conservatively estimated to be more than 10 million euros after tax.
And.
Manchester United also gave Chu Ge a special clause.
That is, the maximum salary clause.
If in 16-17 season, Chu Ge has more than 25 league goals and assists in a single season, his contract will automatically activate this special clause.
At that time, Chu Ge's salary will automatically be on par with the highest-paid player in the team.
Moreover, this clause is not a one-time thing. Once activated, this clause will remain active until the end of the contract.
This means that if Manchester United sign a new superstar player in the future, once the player's annual salary exceeds Chu Ge, Chu Ge will automatically increase his salary to the same level.
The existence of this clause, on the one hand, is to motivate Chu Ge, let him show excellent performance, activate this clause, and on the other hand, it also establishes Chu Ge's core position in Manchester United from the contract. As long as Chu Ge performs well enough, he will be the top name for Manchester United.
That's very sincere.
Such an attitude fully shows Manchester United's respect for Chu Ge.
At the moment, the highest-paid player in Manchester United's squad is their decorated player Wayne Rooney, who earns £250,000 a week. If the salary cap clause is activated for the new season, his weekly salary will be automatically upgraded to £250,000.
Manchester United have offered Chu Ge this contract for five years.
When the contract expires, United have the right of first refusal for a one-year extension.
At the same time, Manchester United was also very happy to pay Chu Ge a one-time signing fee of 3 million pounds.
And in this transfer, according to the usual practice, Chu Ge's agency received a 15% commission from the transfer fee of 150 million, that is, 22.5 million euros (before tax).
It can be said that Chu Ge has benefited a lot from this transfer.
Real Madrid have tried to include a buy-back clause in their transfer contracts. For this reason, they are willing to agree a transfer fee of 150 million with Manchester United, rather than Manchester United asking the Spanish Football Federation to activate the liquidated damages clause.
Directly go to the Spanish Football Federation to activate the liquidated damages, and Manchester United will pay an additional 20 million or so, about 1.33 ringgit, as taxes.
However, Manchester United rejected Real Madrid's proposal.
They do not accept any form of buyback clause.
Even if it's a billion buyback proposed by Real Madrid.
It is precisely because there is no need to go through transfer negotiations that the deal of Chu Ge's transfer to Manchester United is progressing rapidly.
Manchester United found a brand new fax machine in good condition to speed up the transfer of files with the Spanish Football Federation.
Ultimately.
On the third day of Woodward's contract agreement with Renault, the transfer, which actually amounted to more than 170 million euros, was officially completed.
Same.
Just when all the media were still rumoring about Chu Ge's transfer to Manchester United, Manchester United put out an announcement in the form of large pictures in the most eye-catching position on the official website.
“CHU IS COMING!”
"Huaxia international Chu officially joins Manchester United!"
Black on a red background, concise and to the point.
It doesn't need much introduction.
Earthlings understand what is going on.
Meanwhile.
Chu Ge's Twitter also hung a red ball.
Moment.
The world of media and fans exploded.
"£135 million, a new world record, the most expensive player in the world, Chu!"
"Gambling! Smashing liquidated damages, Manchester United actually paid or more than 150 million pounds! ”
"Why is an eighteen-year-old worth £135 million, please see today's special feature: The Birth of a Chinese Genius!"
"The tiger's mouth pulled out the teeth, Manchester United overtook at the last moment, and took away the prey of Gua Shuai!"
"Investigate! Are you optimistic about the future of the 18-year-old at Manchester United? ”
All the media are competing to report it.
And the fans are also talking about it.
"I thought it was Bell who left, but I didn't expect it to be Chu."
This is sad Real Madrid fans.
"Sandezi finally knows how to throw money, too fast! I'm a magic duck! ”
This is the happy Manchester United fans.
"Directly smash Real Madrid's liquidated damages, Manchester United is really inhumane!"
This is a confused neutral fan.
"150 million euros, a new world record was born, and it is also a young Chinese player, and the football world is really crazy."
"Motorsport fans come to ask for science, what is the level of a young player with 150 million euros, and why would Manchester United buy someone at such a high price?"
"Shocked! I don't know what to be shocked, but I'm going to be shocked! ”
……
Pep Guardiola has hung up.
Chu Ge's transfer to Manchester United, he obviously knows now.
Pep Guardiola is in a bad mood right now.
is like the daughter-in-law who likes herself, the bride price is almost ready, and the team to welcome the relatives is sent out, but the bride is robbed by another group of people on the way.
It's hard to put into words.
If you use a song to describe it.
Probably.
Love is a light.
If Gua Shuai also has a system similar to Chu Ge.
The prompt he is now receiving should be:
"Congratulations on earning the Professor's Superstar Appreciation Points and earning the Skill from the Professor: Temperature Difference Signature ......"
