Chapter 0036 - New Contract (Request for Votes)
Woodward was not satisfied with Rashford's suggestion, but he couldn't say no.
After all, what he said was true, and for the next three weeks, United would have to fight for life and death, and at this time, it would be inappropriate to spend too much energy on contracts.
After arriving at the club, Woodward proposed a contract extension on behalf of Manchester United to sign a three-to-five-year contract at a weekly salary of £20,000. In addition, there has also been a significant increase in the awards for goals, assists, appearances, and helping the team win.
The contract is a significant increase from the price previously reported by the media network, but it is still far from what Rashford had in mind.
So, Rashford gave his opinion. He said that since he had agreed before coming to negotiate only a short-term contract for the time being, he should not think about it for so long, and the time is still limited to the contract he signed with the club before, and it is good to just add the treatment he deserves.
Marcus Rashford's previous contract expires next summer. If Rashford's advice is to be followed, Woodward may not be able to explain to his boss. So, it was impossible for him to agree.
In this regard, Rashford also expected in his heart, although he said before coming that this was only a short-term contract, and the real contract would be signed after he found a satisfactory agent, but things could not be done according to this.
………………
In the end, both sides made some concessions, and finally reached a contract that was more satisfactory to both parties.
First, it's a matter of timing, with the Reds having a one-year extension option, although it still ends next summer.
The second is the issue of weekly wages, which is not an opinion put forward by Manchester United, nor is it what Rashford himself wants, but a condition similar to a bet.
According to the contract, as long as Rashford scores 10 goals this season, United will pay Rashford his salary for the season under an after-tax contract of £25,000 and extend it until next season, or sign a new contract.
That's almost limitless, as Rashford has already scored eight goals, and only if he scores two more goals in the next three months, it will be achievable.
The hard part is the conditions behind it.
According to the agreement, on this basis, Rashford's weekly salary will be increased by £10,000 for every five goals scored by him.
That is, if he scores 15 goals this season, his weekly salary is £35,000 after tax, if he scores 20 goals, his weekly salary is £45,000 after tax, and so on.
In addition, there are a series of additional conditions in terms of goals and assists. To sum it up, these are the few points.
First, the appearance fee of 10,000 pounds per game, and the substitution is halved;
second, £3,000 for goals, halved for assists, own-goals and penalties;
Thirdly, the prize for helping the team win, that is, Rashford's goals or assists and scoring own goals, if he directly helps the team win, he will receive a prize of 5,000 pounds per game.
There is not much content in the contract, mainly because Rashford is still a newcomer, and basically does not involve other aspects such as commercial endorsements, plus both parties have a strong desire to renew the contract, so it didn't take much time to reach an agreement.
Of course, if a merchant contacts Rashford to endorse or something, Manchester United will sign an annex to Rashford's contract at that time to agree on relevant matters.
………………
With no spotlight and no reporters present, it was in Woodward's office that Marcus Rashford signed his first contract since his rebirth.
Rashford was offered a £100,000 signing fee after the contract was signed. It's a shabby figure compared to the big names, but Rashford is happy because it's the biggest cheque he's ever seen.
If it is exchanged for soft sister coins, it will be more than 900,000 yuan, which is enough to buy a big house with four bedrooms and two living rooms in the city where his hometown is located in his previous life.
Of course, now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, with the price of the house in the UK, such a small amount of money is at most to buy a room. Because in Manchester, those mansions can easily cost millions of pounds. Even if it's a little worse, it's hundreds of thousands of pounds.
However, Rashford plans to use the money, plus some of his previous savings, to buy a car of his choice. After all, if you don't have a car, it's inconvenient a lot of the time.
As for the driver's license, there is no need to worry, because whether it is Rashford in the previous life or the current deity, they have actually taken the driver's license. The only thing he has to worry about now is the different driving habits in China and the UK. This will cause him some trouble, but he will soon get used to it.
Leaving Woodward's office, Rashford couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone, planning to call his mother to report the good news.
It's just that when he turned on the phone, he found that there were several reminders of missed calls, including those of familiar club teammates and some unfamiliar phone numbers.
But one of the names attracted him.
………………
Catherine Gloria, who was wandering anxiously outside the Carrington training base, was suddenly startled by the ringing of the phone in her hand.
When she picked up her phone to look at it, she was very surprised, but she quickly connected it.
Before she could speak, a very annoying voice came from inside: "Miss Gloria, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to call me and invite me to dinner?" ”
"Yes, I treat you to dinner, thank you for giving me the lead." Finally contacting Rashford, Catherine Gloria was immediately relieved, "But I have a problem now. ”
"Questions? It's a good thing, I have a problem too. Rashford laughed.
Catherine Gloria immediately remembered yesterday's transaction, did that damn bastard mean that there was another exchange of privacy? But she has no way back, and if she returns empty-handed today, she will definitely be in trouble next.
So, she could only force herself to suppress her emotions and said, "Okay, then you ask first." ”
Rashford groaned for a moment and said, "Miss Gloria, how many times have you been in love?" ”
Although she had been mentally prepared for it, that little soul would ask some questions that made her embarrassed, but when she really heard this question, she was still a little unbearable.
"It's too private, I think you can leave it unanswered." Rashford laughed disgustingly on the phone.
