There was a jubilant atmosphere in the north London fan-covered area centred around the Arsenal club, with Arsenal becoming the biggest winner in England with the Double, and fans will be looking forward to the official Arsenal victory parade.

On a sunny afternoon, Freddie came to the office of Arsenal vice-president Dane.

The Arsenal club is very busy, the championship parade is attached to the celebration party, there are more things to prepare, vice chairman Dane is talking to the hotel owner on the phone, the Arsenal party site requirements one by one.

Freddie sat across from his desk and waited.

Dane turned around and smiled after the phone call to shake Freddy's hand.

After the two of them took their seats, without waiting for Freddy to speak, Dane took out a copy of the text from the drawer and handed it to Freddy, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, I want to sit down with you to talk about it in the past few days, it just so happens that you are here today, take a look, this is the new contract we have prepared for Qin Xiong." ”

Dane spoke exquisitely and was extremely gentlemanly, but he still told a little lie.

If Freddie didn't come to the door, he wouldn't have reached out to Freddie.

And since Freddie is here, there are only two things to negotiate with Arsenal.

First, Qin Xiong transferred and left.

Second, Qin Xiong's contract renewal.

Arsenal naturally won't let Qin Xiong leave, so what Dane prepared in advance was Qin Xiong's contract extension.

As Freddie flipped through the contract to check the key terms, Dane happily recounted Qin Xiong's table for the season in a slightly sighing tone.

"To tell you the truth, we thought that Qin Xiong would increase the strength of the team. But he didn't expect him to have a fantastic season at Arsenal! Coach Arsène's attention and appreciation for him played a key role. Qin Xiong's improvement from his time at Ajax is very obvious. His style suits Arsenal and Arsenal have helped him grow, he has scored more goals than last season, his key games have been impeccable, and he has countless assists, he has become the number one star in Asia at Arsenal and I believe he will be able to improve even more in the near future. ”

Freddie heard this. I had a rough idea of the attitude of the Arsenal side.

Dane's words are half-true, and the fake place is: Before Qin Xiong landed in the Premier League last year, he was already the number one star in Asia!

At Arsenal, Qin Xiong is the king of newcomers in Europe, and after the season, he played an amazing record as the top star of the Premier League.

Progress again?

Then it must be superstar.

Freddie saw the basic treatment that Arsenal offered in the contract extension.

The weekly salary is 40,000 pounds, the bonus has been greatly increased, and the signing fee for the renewal is also as high as 500,000 pounds.

But Freddie didn't buy it, which was far from what he expected.

He wants to ask for a contract for Qin Xiong with a weekly salary of £80,000, and there is very little room for concessions. This is a huge gap with the treatment offered by Arsenal!

Dane saw that Freddie had finished reading the contract text, and said with a smile: "Given Qin Xiong's excellent performance in the past season. We are willing to raise his salary sharply, this is more than 100%, and now he only earns close to 20,000 pounds a week, which does not match his contribution, so we showed sincerity and gave him a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, as well as a one-time renewal bonus of 500,000 pounds. ”

Freddie smiled and nodded, reaching out not to hit the smiling man, the negotiation of the player's contract renewal can be negotiated very efficiently, but the disagreement is large, and the negotiation time is protracted.

You can't always turn your face and be ruthless because of disagreements, that's a very naïve expression.

Freddy smiled: "I've heard that Real Madrid and Inter Milan are ready to make an offer of £30 million to Arsenal in the summer, don't get me wrong, I just got the news from the media, you know, there have been too many rumours like this in Milan and Madrid recently. ”

Freddie digressed the conversation by reminding Dane that Qin Xiong is a hot star in the transfer market, and those clubs who are willing to pay a lot of money to bring him in will definitely offer him a much better deal than Arsenal's current contract extension.

Dane shook his head with a smile and said: "Qin Xiong is our core player, even though Arsenal has a tight operating budget, we will never sell talents that symbolize the future." Real Madrid opens £30 million? Even if it's £40 million, we wouldn't agree to it. ”

The subtext of Dane's words is self-evident: Arsenal do not agree, and any conditions offered by Real Madrid and Inter are just a flash in the pan.

At the same time, he also pointed out Arsenal's embarrassment in the operating budget, which is nothing to hide, the whole world knows it!

The debt of the new stadium overwhelms the club, the debt is just the debt, and the debt has a high interest to be repaid every year, that is to say, Arsenal not only has to make a profit every season, but the profit part has to exceed the sum of the annual debt repayment part + debt interest, so that the club can run well and operate better.

However, in the football circle, there are only a small number of clubs that can not lose money every year, and it is difficult to achieve a target profit.

Therefore, on the one hand, Arsenal has led the team by Arsene Wenger to ensure that the income generated by the team in terms of competition can stabilize the survival of the club, and on the other hand, it has reduced financial expenditure as much as possible to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

As for the club owners who have money, there are club owners everywhere, and only clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona are exceptional, and for the time being, there is only one Chelsea owner Abou in the world.

In terms of Arsenal's own survival, it cannot be said that they are stingy, but the management clearly understands that if they do not control their finances, then the financial situation will continue to deteriorate, and Arsenal may become another Leeds United, because their debts are far more and more severe than the pressure Leeds United faced before!

Freddy restrained his smile and said solemnly: "What kind of contribution Qin Xiong has made to help Arsenal win the double this season, Arsenal should know better than me, than the outside world who sings praises for Arsenal, although it is not his credit alone, but he is already a key player in the team, in terms of treatment, I think he should have a match for his status, especially in a team, among his teammates, if the harvest is measured by contribution, he should be treated better, and, In terms of club income, Qin Xiong's commercial value is also higher than that of ordinary players. ”

Dane put away his smile as well, but he nodded frequently as he listened intently to Freddie's words, clearly agreeing with Freddy's words. (To be continued......)
