In fact, before the match with Werder Bremen, there were some transfer rumors about Shahin one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But after beating Werder Bremen, there was a bombshell news.

That is the giant of European football, and Real Madrid have announced their interest in Shahin.

Florentino himself admitted to reporters: "Yes, we are looking at Shahin from Borussia Dortmund, he is a very talented player. ”

The reporter simply asked a little more nakedly: "So do you want him to play for Real Madrid?"

"We want the best players in the world to play for Real Madrid. Florentino didn't answer directly, but it was a signal to the reporter.

He nodded in a circle.

Yes, Real Madrid just wants to buy Shahin!

After this news came out, it was not the same as the previous transfer rumors.

Firstly, this is not a rumor, and secondly, the charm of Real Madrid is hard to resist.

In European football, there are a few rich teams, but in terms of attractiveness, it is not just about money.

Manchester City are rich now, but they are not attractive enough, otherwise Kaka would not have given up on Manchester City at the last minute, and chose Real Madrid six months later.

Real Madrid is strong because they have deep pockets and huge appeal, and now they have a rich and powerful person at the helm.

Since taking charge last summer, Florentino has made a series of big moves, buying players like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso and Benzema in one go.

At that time, it was a shock to Europe, and the limelight of the triple crown won by the rival Barcelona was suppressed by the big money after Florentino's return.

Real Madrid has proven time and again that in the European football market, there is only what they don't want to buy, and there is nothing they can't buy - you must know that even the captain of Barcelona back then, Figo, didn't he switch to Real Madrid?

So when Real Madrid announced that they were interested in Shahin, it inevitably caused Dortmund to be nervous.

The club's general manager, Michel Zolke, said: "Saheen is not for sale at the club and we will not sell our core. ”

However, his statement was simply meaningless in the eyes of the media.

One of the things that Dortmund has always been criticized for is that they can't keep the core players in the team.

Although this team has won the Champions League and the league, compared to Bayern Munich, it still lacks a bit of foundation, especially since they have fallen into an economic crisis, and they have completely lost their ambitions.

As long as the player plays, he will sell it while the value is still high and make money to fill the team's financial holes.

Dortmund has not completely escaped the financial crisis so far, so if Real Madrid really pays a lot of money, how can Zorke not sell Shahin?

He said this now, and it sounded like he was bargaining—"Shaheen is not for sale unless we are satisfied with the price!"

In the thirtieth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Mainz away.

When the team arrived away, Shaheen was surrounded by reporters, and everyone asked questions that had nothing to do with the upcoming game, and they were all asking about him and Real Madrid.

"I'm honoured to be chosen by Real Madrid, they are a very good team and I dreamed of playing for Real Madrid one day. But not now, now I still have a contract with the club......

Shahin's answer was more formulaic, and a reporter asked: "But isn't your agent in contract renewal negotiations with Dortmund?"

"Yes......"

"And how will this affect your contract renewal?"

"I don't think it will make a difference, we started renewing our contract very early and it just happened. ”

Reporters are not so easy to deal with, and another reporter immediately threw out a more difficult question: "Does this have anything to do with your contract renewal negotiation strategy?"

Shahin hurriedly waved his hand: "This is baseless nonsense!"

With that, he turned away and did not give any more interviews.

Ahead of the start of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, Marcel Leif was still saying that he hoped the recent transfer rumours and contract extension talks would not affect Shahin's performance in this game......

But he was a prophecy. Shaheen's performance in this game was really bad, it was like sleepwalking.

And the luck of the whole team at Dortmund was a little worse.

Even if Zhou Yi still works hard, there is no way to turn the tide in this game.

His fitness was inconsistent and he was substituted in the 70th minute.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat away to Mainz, who were far less ranked than them. It can be regarded as exposing a small upset in this round of the league.

In the 31st round, Dortmund faced Hoffenheim at home, which they had beaten in the first half of the season, but were finally held to a 1-1 draw by their opponents.

At the same time, their rivals, Bayern Munich, beat Hannover 96 7-0 at home.

Shaheen continued to play poorly in this game, and Marcel Leif criticized Shaheen in the game for being distracted by transfer rumours and contract extension negotiations, not being able to maintain his form, and being too distracted on the sidelines.

Shahin's issue also became the focus of discussion after the game.

Since Real Madrid spoke out, Shahin's form has become erratic, and although Shaheen has denied that his poor form is related to transfer rumors and contract extension negotiations, everyone believes that he is just unwilling to admit it publicly.

Inside the Dortmund club, there is also talk of Shaheen and his agent, Resa Fazeli.

"Michel, how are the negotiations going for Shahin?" Klopp approached the club's general manager, Zorke, to inquire about a contract extension.

While Shaheen doesn't admit that his recent sluggish form has anything to do with his contract extension, Klopp believes that the problem lies in the contract extension.

"Not too good, Jürgen. Fazeli's offer was too high, and they demanded that we give Shaheen's salary an increase of one and a half times. This is difficult to meet with the club's current finances...... He also made high demands for bonuses. Zolke shook his head. "In terms of liquidated damages, the figures they put forward are far from what we expected. ”

Klopp asked, "Do you think they will finally accept our terms?"

"If it weren't for Real Madrid, it would have been possible. Zolke spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

Klopp then knew that it would be difficult for Shahin to calm down and accept Dortmund's offer when Real Madrid extended him an invitation.

Seeing that Klopp fell silent, Zolke said, "I'll fight for it again, Jurgen." Anyway, Shaheen's contract with us didn't expire until 2013. ”

Shaheen's contract is now only six million euros in liquidated damages. Based on Shaheen's performance in the last two seasons, the six million euros are exactly the same as the one he picked up for nothing.

The original contract provided that the liquidated damages clause could be activated when there was only one year left in the contract.

So even if those clubs covet Shahin now, they can't use the liquidated damages to take Shahin away.

Unless you wait until after the summer of 2012.

So there's still time for Borussia Dortmund.

The summer of 2010 is yet to come, and the club still has two years to renew his contract.

But Klopp can't wait so long, and if the contract extension is not finalized for a day, Shaheen will continue to be flattered by big clubs such as Real Madrid, which makes Shaheen still able to concentrate on the current game.

If Shahin's form continues to be affected by this, Dortmund's results will also be affected.

Now Dortmund has accumulated 60 points in 31 rounds, Schalke 04 and 58 points, and has caught up. Werder Bremen is a close second with 54 points.

If Dortmund slip up the next three league games, they could still fall out of the Champions League.

Klopp didn't want that to happen.

So he asked Zolke: "Can't we get this done as soon as possible?"

Zolke quickly realized what Klopp was worried about, and he asked, "Have you talked to Shahin?"

'We talked about it, but Shaheen told him that he is a professional footballer and that the time for the renewal is up to the agent and he won't ask. As for the temptation of Real Madrid, he also said that he didn't think too much about it...... I think it's all his prevarication, some scenes, which have no practical significance. Klopp spread his hands.

After hearing Klopp's words, Zolke also fell into deep thought.

Shaheen said that he would not be affected, but the actual performance was that he had already been affected.

But Shaheen is really important to Dortmund, so how can he let it go so easily?

According to Zolke's philosophy, if we want to sell a player, then we have to have a plan in advance, and as soon as that player leaves the team, I want to have a player who can step up.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold the player.

If we have to let Shaheen go, do we have anyone who can succeed in replacing him?

Thinking of this, Zolke's eyes suddenly lit up, and then asked, "Jurgen, what do you think of Zhou Yi?"

"Huh?" Klopp didn't react at first.

"You're playing with a dual-core now, but you're still dominated by Shahin, supplemented by Zhou Yi, right?" Zorke continued.

"Ah, yes......" Klopp suddenly understood, he looked at Zolke, "you mean ......"

"I still remember that during the time when Shahin was injured, Zhou Yi single-handedly provoked the beam, and he did a good job. Zolke looked at Klopp and smiled.
