Dortmund, which decided to abandon Lewandowski, can now devote most of its energy to dealing with Zhou Yi's agent, Schulze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, when the two sides went into talks again, Schulze said that they understood the club's current situation and decided to put the contract extension talks on hold for the time being......

The Dortmund club went crazy when they heard the news - we finally had our hands free, but you want to put the negotiations on hold for the time being?!

Could it be that things have changed again?

What deal do Barcelona or Arsenal people have with Zhou Yi's agent in private?

Although Schulze said that the reason for temporarily putting the renewal talks on hold was to understand the current situation of the club, Dortmund FC would not believe what Schulze said, in their opinion, agents are lying creatures, and there is not a word worth trusting.

There must be something behind this!

With Gotze and Robert Lewandowski released in quick succession, Dortmund are in desperate need of an uplifting piece of news to salvage their image in the hearts of Dortmund fans.

So they pinned all their hopes on the contract renewal negotiations with Zhou Yi. They hope to be able to successfully renew the contract with Zhou Yi, and if the termination clause can be canceled, it will definitely be announced to the world, so that all Dortmund fans can know the good news for the first time.

In such a situation, Schulze, you say that Zhou Yi is not going to renew the contract?

Isn't this killing Dortmund?

For a moment, the Dortmund representative even wanted to repentance about Lewandowski......

But of course they can't do it, otherwise Dortmund will really have no credibility in German and even European football.

Therefore, they can only stubbornly persuade Schulze to return to the negotiating table for contract renewal, what conditions are to be discussed, but don't leave it undiscussed.

"Look, am I right?" Schulze was pleased to report to Zhou Yi on the latest attitude of the Dortmund club.

"Well, that's good. Zhou Yi nodded.

Although it was previously agreed to postpone the contract extension negotiations, they did not know at that time that the club would agree to let Lewandowski leave. Later, after learning the news, Zhou Yi and Schulze re-discussed countermeasures.

After analysing the situation, they decided to continue with the club's desire to postpone contract renewal negotiations.

But this time it wasn't about understanding the club's situation.

Borussia Dortmund guessed right, and now they are doing it definitely not because they understand the club's situation.

Schulze analyzed to Zhou Yi that Dortmund was able to give up Lewandowski, which was simply a move like a strong man breaking his wrist. They lost two main players for a while, which also made them determined to renew their contract with Zhou Yi.

And after letting Lewandowski go, Dortmund will have the time and energy to slowly grind the terms of the contract with Schulzer.

This would give Dortmund something to fear.

In order to avoid the negotiations falling into the rhythm of Dortmund, it is necessary to do something that Dortmund would never have imagined.

One such thing is the suspension of contract renewal negotiations.

This is called retreating as advancing.

It may seem like it's not going to talk about it, but it's actually putting pressure on Dortmund.

Sure enough, as soon as the Dortmund club heard that Schulze was not talking, they immediately became anxious.

The rest of the game was back to the rhythm that Schulze was familiar with.

Schulze could have continued to insist on their terms, and if Dortmund did not agree, they would continue to threaten the club with a "stay in contract renewal talks" to force them to comply.

For Dortmund, giving up Lewandowski certainly allows them to have more energy and time to negotiate a contract extension with Zhou Yi, but at the same time, it also makes them lose their way out - with Gotze and Lewandowski both leaving the team, Zhou Yi has become a person who absolutely cannot afford to lose. Dortmund Club will not dare to offend Zhou Yi no matter what. If the contract renewal is not negotiated with Zhou Yi this summer, Dortmund's stock price will fall, and there is finally some hope of paying off the debt, if the stock price falls, Dortmund may be hit harder than Gotze and Lewandowski join hands to go to the sworn enemy Bayern Munich.

Dortmund and Zhou Yi's contract renewal negotiations are going very slowly, but they are always moving forward little by little, which is the only good news for Dortmund club.

From the end of last season until Zhou Yi returned to the team ahead of schedule, and then to the Dortmund first team to report for training, until the three days before the whole Dortmund team was ready to leave for China, it was finally negotiated.

Zhou Yi and Borussia Dortmund have signed a four-year extension, with the new contract due to expire in 2017.

In order to retain Zhou Yi as much as possible, Dortmund can also be said to have invested heavily - they gave Zhou Yi an astonishing annual salary of 8 million euros!

This is higher than Gotze's previous maximum salary of 4.6 million, and it is also a full 1 million more than the 7 million euros annual salary that Dortmund is ready to offer Lewandowski.

In fact, seven million euros is the maximum salary, but Dortmund was afraid that the salary of seven million euros would make Zhou Yi think that he was just Lewandowski's spare tire, so he added another million on this basis.

This is really the salary condition that Dortmund gritted his teeth and offered.

In this regard, Schulze did not mention any excessive conditions.

Schulze is pleased to see Dortmund's own annual salary figure come to fruition. The player he represents can become Dortmund's highest-paid player, which also somewhat satisfies his agent's little vanity.

The key and essence of this contract renewal is the termination clause.

At Schulzer's insistence, a termination clause was added to the new contract, but the amount of the termination clause was increased considerably. This can also be regarded as a concession made by Zhou Yi and Schulze, or the sincerity of staying in Dortmund.

According to the new contract, from the last year of Zhou Yi's contract with Dortmund, any team can directly take Zhou Yi as long as it can pay a transfer fee of 90 million euros.

Ninety million euros is definitely a lot of money for Dortmund. If there is really a club willing to come up with so much money, even if it is Zhou Yi, they will seriously consider selling.

Therefore, this release clause is acceptable to Dortmund.

Zhou Yi can also accept it, because he feels that if he continues to perform like last season, in a few years, he should be worth 90 million euros.

At that time, if the team that is interested in him is really sincere, he will not mind giving 90 million euros to "redeem" himself. If you refuse to pay this money, it first shows that the opposing club does not really need you, and secondly, it means that the strength of this team is not good and you are not worthy of it.

This number is like a touchstone, which can test the sincerity of pursuing Zhou Yi's team, and can also help Zhou Yi screen out many unreliable teams, terminate Zhou Yi's time, and narrow his range of options.

Based on these considerations, Zhou Yi agreed to the 90 million euro release clause proposed by Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund are generally satisfied with this contract, and Zhou Yi is also satisfied.

Both sides felt like they had earned it.

After the contract was negotiated, and even before Zhou Yi signed with the club, Dortmund couldn't wait to announce the news that they would renew the contract with Zhou Yi.

“...... We are very happy that in this eventful season, Zhou Yi chose to stand together with the club!"

Dortmund's official Twitter account posted such a tweet, which was quickly retweeted by the media and Dortmund fans.

This is equivalent to the official announcement that Zhou Yi will stay in Dortmund.

As Dortmund Club predicted and hoped, after the news was spread, the fans who were going to swarm the club for scolding the club at this moment did not care about scolding Dortmund, and praised the efforts made by the club and praised Zhou Yizhi for reporting it......

For a while, public opinion seemed to be happy.

There was no mention of the departures of Gotze and Lewandowski.

It's as if Zhou Yi stayed alone, and he could offset the negative impact of the departure of those two people......

The day before Dortmund left for China, Zhou Yi held a signing ceremony with Dortmund FC at the Bracker training base.

Witnessed by a number of journalists and the main person in charge of the club, Zhou Yi and Watzke signed their names on the contract respectively.

Then they held Zhou Yi's jersey and took a group photo in front of the camera.

In the photo, Watzke is smiling brightly and his face is red.

He was genuinely happy with the result.

At least for a while, he didn't have to think about Schulze's face that made him almost throw up.

At the signing ceremony, Watzke praised Zhou Yi to reporters: "Everyone will remember who is really important and indispensable to Dortmund." I am very happy and proud of Zhou Yi's choice, this contract extension is nothing less than a great signing, and we are very much looking forward to the new season under Zhou Yi's leadership, Dortmund will continue to maintain their usual competitiveness......"

The reporters piled up the microphones in front of Zhou Yi, wanting to hear what he said.

"I'm very happy to be able to renew my contract with the club, as I said before, I'm willing to stay at Dortmund, I'm happy to live in Dortmund, I have a lot of friends here - I'm not just referring to my team-mates......" Zhou Yi said in front of a large number of microphones. 'I don't know what we're going to face in the new season and I can't promise anything. But I'm going to give it my all and help the team as much as I can, and that's to repay the love the fans have for me. ”

As he spoke, reporters kept pressing the camera shutter below.

That night, the photos appeared on the Internet, and the news of Zhou Yi's contract renewal for Dortmund was finally confirmed, and the big stone in the hearts of Dortmund fans who had been talking about uneasiness could fall to the ground, while those who had been waiting to see Dortmund's jokes were disappointed.

Regardless, this summer, Dortmund's biggest soap opera has finally come to an end.
