Ringer transferred to Bayern, and because of the cheap transfer fee, Krot won him a signing fee of 500,000 euros, but he himself received a transfer commission of 800,000 from Bayern.

For football agents, there are two main sources of their income, one is the transfer commission of their players, and the other is the player's income commission.

The transfer commission is given to the player's agent by the club that wants to buy the player, and the agent gets a different amount of commission depending on the popularity of the player. Ringer is also interested in several clubs, so Krott can also get a lot of commissions from Bayern.

Ringer signed a four-year professional contract with Bayern, with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros before tax, which is the salary standard for Bayern's substitute players, and according to the standard of substitute players, Ringer also has an appearance fee of 20,000 euros and a goal award of 40,000 euros.

A professional athlete's income mainly includes three parts: salary, bonuses and business income, and the proportion of the three parts of the income of different professional athletes is different.

For independent athletes such as tennis and golf, they have almost no salary, and their income is only prize money and commercial income; For NBA, NFL and other American professional league athletes, the main income is salary and business income, due to the relationship between the league regulations, their bonuses are very small; And for football players, salary, bonuses, and business income are all important.

For top football players, not to mention commercial income, prize money is also an important source of their income. Stars of Ronaldo Messi's level, they have appearance fees, goal awards, assist awards, winning awards, not conceding goals awards, etc., plus promotion bonuses for important games (Champions League), championship bonuses at the end of the season, and often get no less bonuses from the club than salaries in a season.

The earnings of professional players are generally kept secret, but the media are superfluous, and although they can't get the exact figures, they can always get an approximate figure.

Throughout the 2012 calendar year, Messi scored 91 goals, 79 of which were scored for FC Barcelona. According to Spanish media speculation, with these goals plus other bonuses, Messi can get close to 20 million euros from Barcelona, and his current salary is just over 10 million euros.

However, a standard contract like Ringer's substitute can have an appearance fee plus a goal award.

At the same time, Ringer's contract stipulates that Bayern Munich has 50% of the right to use his portrait, which is also the norm in football. Many commercial endorsements for the club will involve the use of the player's personal portrait, so the club will find a way to own some or all of the player's portrait rights, otherwise every time the player's personal portrait is used, you need to negotiate with the player's agent and pay a fee at the same time, which will be quite troublesome and costly.

Ronaldo's current personal portrait rights are four or six with Real Madrid, Ronaldo personally accounts for sixty percent, Real Madrid accounts for forty percent, and Barcelona has made a lot of concessions in order to keep Messi, Messi's personal portrait rights seem to be all in their own hands.

In terms of Ringer's current status, Bayern originally wanted all his portrait rights, but of course Krotter didn't do it, and the two sides negotiated and decided on this five-to-five split.

Even so, Krot felt that he had suffered a loss, and used this as an excuse in the negotiations to obtain a liquidated damages clause of 40 million euros for Ringer in the contract.

In Bayern's view, a player like Ringer whose commercial value is far greater than his competitive value, only a madman would spend 40 million euros to buy him back. But in Ringer's view, this is quite important, if Bayern does not want to release him after half a year, the 40 million liquidated damages clause will play a key role.

Of course, there is a premise that Ringer will have to perform in the first half of the year to make others feel that he is worth 40 million euros.

Since Germany is located in the middle of Europe, it has a typical continental European climate, with distinct climates throughout the year and relatively cold winters.

Therefore, the Bundesliga has the longest winter break among the five major leagues, and generally there will be a winter break of more than a month.

At present, the whole Bayern Munich team is in Qatar in West Asia for winter training.

Ringer signed the contract, got everything ready, and boarded the plane to West Asia the next day.

Coming in the middle of the season, he needs to settle into the team as soon as possible. If he can't integrate into the team, half a year will pass soon, and maybe he will really have to keep up with his predecessor King Dong.

In the 07/08 season, Manchester United won the Champions League and Premier League double under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo was also a member of the Manchester United team at that time, and even had a few minutes of substitute time in the Champions League group stage. But after the season, no one will say that Dong Fangzhuo won the Champions League and the Premier League, because he can't even reach the basic playing time, and the gold medal will not be awarded to him, so what kind of champion is that?

Joining in the middle of the season is with commercial factors, and if it can't attract the attention of the head coach anymore, Ringer may really become the next Dong Fangzhuo.

The West Asian region belongs to the subtropical desert climate, the desert is many hot climate, the four seasons are not obvious, the winter is dry and cool, it is a suitable place for winter training.

In fact, there is another major reason, Qataris are rich. Qatar has won the right to host the 2022 World Cup and is bent on improving football, so Qataris are willing to pay to invite European teams to train here in winter.

West Asia itself is not far from Europe (West Asia is really close to Europe, next to Turkey, the distance from Qatar to Ireland, the farthest in Europe, is actually closer than the distance to Beijing, China, I really don't understand how it was divided into Asia), can have a suitable climate and venue, plus a lot of friendly match appearance fees, Bayern has often come to Qatar in winter to train in recent years.

Coming out of Doha International Airport, Ringer and Krott soon met Bayern assistant Hoeness, who had come to pick them up.

"Hallo uli hoeness - trainer" Ringer stepped forward first, greeting him with the unfamiliar German he had just learned for two months.

"Hello, young man, your German needs to be strengthened." Hoeness said a word to Ringer, and then said to Crott on the side: "Thomas, long time no see." ”

Krot can send so many Asian players to the Bundesliga, it seems that he does know a lot of people.

Soon, under the leadership of Hoeness, the three Ringer arrived at the home of the Qatar national team, the Qatar National Stadium, and also the home of Qatar league giants Al-Saud Doha, where Bayern is currently training. (At the same time, it is also called the Caliphate Stadium, and the caliph means king)

Walking into this stadium, Ringer was quite disappointed. As the first giant team in the league of a local tyrant country and the home of the national team, it is pitiful to be small.

This Qatar National Stadium looks good, with a lot of modern equipment, but the capacity is only 20,000, which is really small, and the home stadium of any team in the Chinese Super League is larger than this.

After learning about Ringer, I learned that there are many deserts in West Asia, and the climate is hot, and the population is relatively small. There are only about 150 million people in more than a dozen countries in West Asia, and Iran and Iraq together account for about 100 million.

Therefore, the whole West Asia is vast and sparsely populated, and the home stadiums of West Asian teams are generally built relatively small, with many national teams only having a capacity of 20,000 or 30,000 at home, and Qatar only has a population of more than 2.5 million, so the home stadium of the national team is even smaller.

It's not that I don't have money to get it, it's that it's bigger and not so many people go to watch the game.

The Qatar National Stadium is still a relatively large stadium in Qatar, which is definitely not satisfied with hosting the World Cup.

It is said that for the 2022 World Cup, Qataris will rebuild 12 stadiums for the World Cup events, and the minimum capacity of these stadiums will be more than 40,000, and the largest will be more than 80,000. At the same time, in order to cope with the hot summer of West Asia, these stadiums will have to be equipped with the latest air-conditioning and cooling technology, which will cost a lot of money, and after the World Cup, they will have to be renovated for other purposes.

I don't have to say that the local tyrant is really rich, and other people's stadiums are disposable.

Of course, the home stadium of the West Asian national team is a small matter, with the exception of Iran. Iran's national team has a home stadium capacity of more than 100,000, which is one of the few large-capacity stadiums in the world.

Since it was noon and the team was on a lunch break after training, Ringer was brought over to meet the team's head coach first.

"Hello, Coach Heynckes."

Joseph Heynckes, a 67-year-old German man, has his trademark silver hair.

"Lin, welcome to Bayern Munich."

"It's my pleasure."
