Chapter 222: Renewal Negotiations
After the game, photos of Liverpool young fans holding signs calling on the club to renew Jiang Chenxi's contract with a salary increase as soon as possible appeared in newspapers of all sizes, causing further attention from the media and fans to Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal.
Liverpool fans also began to leave messages on the club's fan forum, asking about Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal, and there was an intensifying posture.
Liverpool couldn't sit still.
A day later, Peter. Moore informed Su Xun that Liverpool FC wanted to communicate about Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal.
Su Xun did not come forward, she appointed Lu Wushuang as a representative to lead the agent team to conduct preliminary talks with Liverpool.
The renewal or transfer of a top star will not be achieved overnight, it will be a relatively long negotiation process, and she does not need to be a new mother at this time.
And next weekend, it will be the second leg of the league between Liverpool and Manchester United, and this game can be said to be a global attention.
In such a situation, Lu Wushuang led the brokerage team and Liverpool Club to start contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool FC.
In order to appease the fans and stabilize the morale of the army, the Liverpool club also issued an announcement on the official website of the Liverpool club almost immediately, saying that the club has officially opened negotiations with Jiang Chenxi on the renewal of the contract.
……
As soon as the news of Liverpool's contract renewal negotiations with Jiang Chenxi was announced, it caused a sensation.
Liverpool fans are naturally the ones who are most concerned about this matter.
Although Liverpool is a Premier League giant, but, after the establishment of the Premier League, this old giant has not won a Premier League championship, the last time it won the English top league championship, it was a matter of the English One era, the club's influence has declined greatly, if it were not for the Istanbul miracle in 2005 to win the Champions League, the club would have been 'expelled' out of the ranks of giants.
The painful memory of losing the league title late last season is still fresh in the back of the mind, and Liverpool fans are desperate for the team to rise.
After Jiang Chenxi transferred to Liverpool, he conquered Liverpool fans with one goal after another, and broke the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo, won the FIFA Golden Ball Award, and became a superstar in today's football alongside Melo.
Originally, Jiang Chenxi and Liverpool had a four-year contract and a three-year contract, so there was no need to renew the contract in such a hurry!
However, I have a baby at home, and I am afraid of being remembered!
Although Liverpool fans are reluctant to admit that the team is now down, the fact is that there is a gap between Liverpool and giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, that is, compared with the sworn enemy Manchester United, Liverpool is now a step behind.
Liverpool fans are really worried, for fear that when they wake up, they will see news reports that giants like Barcelona or Real Madrid, or local tycoons like Paris and Manchester City waved a cheque book and took Jiang Chenxi away from Anfield Stadium!
In addition to the recent media hype about Jiang Chenxi's salary, especially Ellen. Smith kept waving his flag in his column, and even Liverpool fans thought that the £160,000 weekly salary and Jiang Chenxi's current status in football did not match his contribution to Liverpool.
This salary is too small, if you want to raise your salary, if you don't renew your contract, Liverpool fans are not sure!
Now, this official announcement by the Liverpool club has drawn a burst of cheers from the fans.
If they can reach an agreement with Jiang Chenxi on contract renewal and salary increase, at least they don't have to worry about Jiang Chenxi leaving Liverpool in a short period of time, right?!
Jiang Chenxi is only about to turn 23 years old now, according to the career development trajectory of the current player, there are at least seven or eight years of peak period, if the physical condition and competitive state are maintained well, even the peak state of ten years is guaranteed.
Liverpool fans hope that Jiang Chenxi can stay at Liverpool and even play until he retires, just like their captain Steven Gerrard.
Even in terms of ability and competitive factors, Jiang Chenxi's importance in Liverpool in the future is even more important than the current Gerrard!
Therefore, Liverpool's fans are cheering, and at the same time, they are also staring at the progress of the club and Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal with a mentality of gaining and losing.
……
At the same time, there are other giants in Europe who are staring at the renewal negotiations between Liverpool and Jiang Chenxi!
In the words of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, there is no team like Jiang Chenxi who does not want a superstar!
Although there is no definite news about which giants have launched Jiang Chenxi's acquisition war, these giants have been paying attention to Liverpool's side.
If Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool don't go well, they see an opportunity to take advantage of it.
And once Liverpool and Jiang Chenxi complete the contract renewal, it also means that if they want to take Jiang Chenxi from Liverpool, it will become very miserable, and at least the price they have to pay is extremely high.
……
Liverpool and Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal negotiations had just begun, and they reached an impasse because of considerable differences.
The differences are mainly reflected in two aspects.
One is that the player is under contract.
Lu Wushuang offered to renew his contract for another year for a further four years.
According to FIFA regulations, professional players can sign a five-year long-term contract with the club at most, but there are countermeasures under the policy, and the club can propose a five-plus-one contract, that is, to sign a five-year contract allowed by FIFA, and then attach a sixth-sided priority renewal authority, which is the unspoken rule of the current six-year contract in football.
Players will of course want to have a shorter contract with the club to help protect the player's personal interests, and the club naturally wants to have as long a contract as possible with the team's important players, preferably tying the prime of the player's career to the team.
……
Another disagreement is in the payroll.
In other words, the difference in salary is the largest, and Lu Wushuang proposed that Liverpool should give Jiang Chenxi the treatment of the Premier League's top salary:
At present, the top salary in the Premier League is Manchester United's England international Wayne Rooney, and Lu Xiaopang's weekly salary has reached 260,000 pounds, which is 100,000 pounds higher than Jiang Chenxi's current salary.
Wayne Rooney has scored eight goals and provided six assists for Manchester United so far this season, but what about Jiang? He has scored 33 goals for Liverpool in the league so far alone, in addition to nine assists, which is more than Wayne Rooney's, if not goals.
Data is the most powerful!
Lu Wushuang believes that whether it is Jiang Chenxi's statistical performance on the field or his status in today's football, it is incomparable to Rooney, and it is natural for him to get the Premier League top salary that surpasses Rooney.
Liverpool believe that Lu Wushuang is a lion's mouth, in fact, this is also the same as Peter. Moore's psychological expectations vary widely, according to Peter. Moore proposed that Jiang Chenxi's salary could be increased to 180,000 pounds a week, continuing to maintain the highest salary in the Liverpool team and the highest salary record in the history of the Liverpool club.
Lu Wushuang scoffed at this, she pointed out that the so-called top salary in the Liverpool team is not enough to look at the entire Premier League:
What is the concept of a £180,000-a-week salary on the Premier League's salary list?
Ranked 7th!
Who is the sixth place?
It's Arsenal's German star Mesut Ozil, and the German's salary is £190,000 a week!
"No, maybe not even seventh." Lu Wushuang said unceremoniously, she suddenly changed the topic and asked Peter. Moore, "Mr. Moore, what do you think of the status and ability of Sterling and Jiang Chenxi in the team?" ”
