Chapter [015]: Bumblebee's first sign this summer
Dortmund, Germany, Stobelari Training Center, sunny weather!
On the training ground of the first team, Jurgen Klopp is leading a group of people through a simple recovery session.
Yes, Borussia Dortmund FC has already started to assemble at this time.
There are a lot of players who have come to the training base to start training and prepare for the new season, but not all of the players have returned, and some players are still on vacation, such as Gu Zhen, Subotic and Hummels.
Gu Zhen has now returned to Dortmund, but he is still on holiday and has not reported to the team.
Gu Zhen has one more day of vacation!
At this time, on the training ground, the players of Dortmund were also doing a simple jog, and the intensity of the training was really not large.
Klopp's expression was also very relaxed, with a whistle in his hand, and said lightly: "Let your body warm up as soon as possible, find yourself as soon as possible, and soon the first warm-up game of our new season will come, do you know?" β
The Dortmund players ran and said: "Got it! β
Klopp also said: "We have a heavy task in the new season, you all have to find your form as soon as possible, you are all going to play almost, you have to seize the opportunity yourself!" β
Borussia Dortmund's players are happy to hear this, who doesn't want more opportunities?
The Dortmund players are still in good spirits and Klopp is satisfied.
At this time, Dortmund's assistant coach Kovac came over, came to Klopp's ear and said: "Jurgen, Lao Gu is here!" β
Klopp's eyes lit up, and he handed over the training to his assistant, and then walked with Kovac to his office.
As soon as Klopp walked into the office, he saw Gu Yongchen and Shinji Kagawa!
Klopp immediately walked up quickly and stretched out his right hand towards Gu Yongchen: "Welcome, welcome, old Gu, welcome to our Dortmund!" β
Yes, now Klopp uses "we Dortmund" to distinguish between them.
In the past, Gu Yongchen was also a member of Dortmund, but then Gu Yongchen resigned and left, went out to work alone, and became the owner of a player agency company.
Gu Yongchen saw Klopp walking up quickly, and he immediately stretched out his right hand to Klopp: "Hello, Jurgen, long time no see!" β
Klopp said, "yes, long time no see. I've been waiting for you! β
Gu Yongchen naturally knows that Klopp has been waiting for him, and he has said to himself many times that he wants Shinji Kagawa to come to Dortmund, because Dortmund does have some problems with transfers this summer, and it is time to bring in Shinji Kagawa.
Gu Yongchen smiled and said, "Aren't I here?" β
Klopp said to Gu Yongchen very gratefully: "Thank you so much, if you hadn't contacted Subotic in time and stuck to sign the contract, I can't say that Subotic is really a player of the Manchester United team now." Thank you so much, and it has caused you a lot of trouble, right? β
Yes, Klopp is really grateful to Gu Yongchen.
If it weren't for Gu Yongchen who prevented Subotic from signing with Manchester United at that time, Subotic would really be a member of Manchester United. Because of this incident, the relationship between Gu Yongchen and the Manchester United team was really almost broken, but fortunately, Gu Yongchen and Ferguson negotiated.
Gu Yongchen immediately said: "It's okay, who are you and me?" And you didn't do it too
Is it compensated? β
Yes, Dortmund has already compensated Gu Yongchen.
Isn't this Dortmund already renewing the contract with Subotic and Gu Zhen, and they also give a relatively high salary, Gu Zhen is the highest-paid player in Dortmund's current team, and Subotic is also the second-highest paid player.
Therefore, Dortmund really compensated Gu Yongchen!
Klopp immediately said: "That's different, even if there is no such thing, we are ready to renew the contract with Subotic and Gu Zhen, and it will still cost a lot of money at that time." β
Yes, it is true that Dortmund really wants to renew the contracts of these people, and these players will not be able to retain them without renewing their contracts and raising their salaries.
Therefore, Klopp still felt that they were losing some money Gu Yongchen.
However, Gu Yongchen did not have this mind.
Klopp kept this kindness in his heart, he knew what kind of person Gu Yongchen was, and he was very glad that he had made a friend like Gu Yongchen in this life.
Gu Yongchen said directly: "In this way, let's talk about business directly!" β
Klopp also felt that it was time to talk about business, and he couldn't drag it off any longer, and now he really wanted Shinji Kagawa very much.
Klopp immediately said: "There is no problem with the cherry blossoms in Osaka, Japan, right?" β
Gu Yongchen immediately said: "Osaka Sakura and the Japanese Football Association are very supportive of young players coming to Europe, and they are very supportive. Now that the Japanese league is going on, they are all willing to let Kagawa come over, which shows their attitude! β
Hearing this, Klopp was relieved, and he knew it in his heart.
Klopp immediately asked: "What about the transfer fee?" You also know that our club has almost no transfer fees this summer, we can't take much! β
Gu Yongchen said directly: "I have talked about this matter with the Osaka Sakura Club, to be honest, this price is very, very cheap, as long as 350,000 euros, you can take Kagawa Shinji away, it is really the price of cabbage!" β
Klopp's eyes lit up, and this is really good news!
Klopp is really grateful to Gu Yongchen, this should have been discussed between Gu Yongchen and Osaka Sakura, Gu Yongchen gave him really too much help.
Klopp immediately said: "Thank you very, very much, thank you very much!" β
Yes, Klopp is really very grateful to Gu Yongchen, Gu Yongchen had recommended Shinji Kagawa to him frantically before, which shows that he is very optimistic about Shinji Kagawa. These days, Gu Zhen didn't recommend Shinji Kagawa to other clubs, it was really Gu Yongchen's help.
Gu Yongchen immediately said: "Don't say that these are useless, I also think that Dortmund is very suitable for Kagawa Shinji, which is why Kagawa Shinji brought Dortmund!" β
Hearing Gu Yongchen say this, Klopp naturally didn't say anything more, he hid all his gratitude in his heart.
This summer, Gu Yongchen really helped him a lot!
Klopp immediately said: "Then let's discuss the contract of Shinji Kagawa now, we Dortmund really attach great importance to this transaction!" β
Of course, Gu Yongchen also knew that although Klopp said that they attached great importance to this transfer, they really wouldn't give too much salary. First, there is indeed a problem with Dortmund's funds, and after all, Shinji Kagawa has not proven himself in European football.
Gu Yongchen knew this very well, so his asking price was actually not very high.
Gu Yongchen said directly
"If I offer a million euros, it will definitely be unkind, so what do you think of 800,000 euros a year? β
Although he was very grateful to Gu Yongchen, when negotiating this contract, Klopp did not let Gu Yongchen at all, and he looked like he was doing business.
Klopp immediately said: "No, no, no, this is too high. Lao Gu, you also know that Shinji Kagawa has not proven himself in Europe, and it is really inappropriate to have such a high salary in the first place. I think the salary is really too high! β
Gu Yongchen asked directly: "Then you say, how much annual salary are you willing to give Kagawa Shinji?" β
Klopp thought about it for a while before he said directly: "You see, when we introduced Shinji Kagawa, the transfer fee was only 350,000 euros, so let's do it, the annual salary we give Shinji Kagawa is 350,000 euros, what do you think?" β
Pick the door, it's really too picky!
To tell the truth, Gu Yongchen really thinks that Klopp is really too picky, how can this guy have such an idea? It's really speechless.
This salary is unacceptable to Gu Yongchen!
Gu Yongchen immediately started a fierce bargain with Klopp, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on the price of 500,000 euros. Shinji Kagawa signed a three-year contract with Borussia Dortmund, with an annual salary of 500,000 euros, of course, some assist bonuses and Golden Ball bonuses or something, and in the end, Kagawa Shinji's annual salary can reach more than 600,000 euros.
This is already good for Shinji Kagawa, who is playing in European football for the first time.
Gu Zhen's annual salary in Mainz was not so high, so Gu Yongchen agreed. In fact, when Klopp gave 300,000 euros at the beginning, Shinji Kagawa had to agree, because he really wanted to come to Europe to play, and he was really afraid that the talks would collapse and end up missing Europe.
However, he still trusts Gu Yongchen very much, and everything is left to Gu Yongchen.
In the end, Gu Yongchen did not disappoint him and signed a good contract for him, and Shinji Kagawa was also very grateful to Gu Yongchen.
Shinji Kagawa knows that he can come to Europe to play, and being able to join Dortmund is Gu Yongchen's help and support all the time, and he is very grateful to Gu Yongchen, Gu Yongchen is simply his second father. Don't say it, Shinji Kagawa really worshipped Gu Yongchen as his godfather!
Klopp's side is also very happy, it is already very good to be able to sign Shinji Kagawa. This is the team's first signing of the summer, and he is still very happy.
Because Klopp knows the strength of Shinji Kagawa, if he can adapt to the rhythm of the Bundesliga, this will definitely be a big help for Dortmund, and Klopp has great expectations for him.
Now that the matter of Kagawa Shinji has been negotiated, the three of them are very happy, and at this time, Gu Yongchen suddenly said to Klopp: "I will recommend one more person to you now, recommend a striker!" β
Klopp's eyes lit up, he believed in Gu Yongchen's vision very much. Because Gu Yongchen really didn't disappoint him, every time he recommended the players were very characteristic and very good, and now Gu Yongchen recommended players to him again, he was full of expectations.
Klopp immediately asked, "Who do you want me to recommend this time?" Do I know? β
Gu Yongchen immediately said, "Of course you know, I have recommended it to you before. He is a young Polish striker whose name is Robert Lewandowski! β
Robert Lewandowski?
Yes, this name Klopp knows, and Gu Yongchen has really recommended it to him many times.
Klopp immediately asked, "What?" He's also one of your players? β
