Seven Crowns

Chapter 392: Disagreement with Real Madrid

Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin failed to renew their contract. In addition to the salary and liquidated damages, it was actually because Lu Wenbin himself wanted to leave.

Although Hoffenheim treated him well and made him the core, the average strength of his teammates was too low.

Lu Wenbin's performance this season has been abnormal enough, but the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich was a second round reversal. The final against Inter Milan was a countdown reversal. They were all bumped and almost unable to win the championship.

Such a team is too unsafe to stay.

Not to mention the improvement of commercial value, a system task reward that accidentally loses a champion and cannot get skill points is not acceptable to Lu Wenbin.

He must go to a wealthy team with stronger average teammates to increase commercial value while ensuring more stable results and championships, and ensuring that his skill points are credited and upgraded.

Lu Wenbin wants to challenge Platini's three consecutive Golden Globe Awards, and even surpass him.

He has complied with his promise and left Hoffenheim with a priceless Champions League trophy and the honor of Germany's first Triple Crown team.

The title of the Triple Crown is not even Bayern Munich.

He feels that he is worthy of the club and the fans, and even if he leaves, there is no psychological burden.

Of course, fans don't think so.

Since the end of the season, Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin began to negotiate a contract extension. Fans have continued to play banners in front of the club and outside Lu Wenbin’s residence, requesting Lu Wenbin to stay and continue to lead Hoffenheim to another glory.

However, Lu Wenbin did not respond positively. Some reporters asked him. He said he was watching the results of the negotiations between Mendes and the club.

Even though the boss, Hope, personally called, Lu Wenbin pushed it to Mendes.

In fact, Mendes put more energy on negotiations with other teams.

Lu Wenbin’s performance against the sky last season, there is no need to quote. Other clubs who want to buy Lu Wenbin can only activate the 100 million euro penalty clause before they are eligible to negotiate a contract with Lu Wenbin.

Wanting to use a transfer fee of less than 100 million euros to obtain the qualification to negotiate a contract with Lu Wenbin is wishful thinking.

After the end of the season, there were indeed clubs who wanted to obtain Hoffenheim's agreement with an offer of less than 100 million euros and negotiated a contract with Lu Wenbin, but they were all rejected without hesitation.

The clubs that wanted Lu Wenbin later all directly activated the liquidated damages clause and obtained the qualifications to negotiate with Lu Wenbin.

During the World Cup, there are five clubs that talked closely with Mendes on personal contracts: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, Chelsea and Inter Milan.

These clubs are strong, and they are willing to directly pay liquidated damages to take Lu Wenbin away, and personal contracts are also willing to meet Lu Wenbin's first annual salary requirement in world football.

Other giants were slowly eliminated due to issues such as transfer fees and annual salary.

After the World Cup in South Africa, the time has come to mid-July.

At this time, Mendes and Lu Wenbin eliminated Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​leaving only Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Although Manchester City is willing to offer a terrifying annual salary of up to 18 million euros, which is much higher than the salaries offered by several other companies, Manchester City is too low-profile, not a wealthy family, just because the Abu Dhabi consortium is rich, Lu Wenbin does not Willing to go.

Chelsea also had the same problem. The non-traditional giants, and the offer was lower than Manchester City, were also eliminated by Mendes and Lu Wenbin.

Barcelona is because Lu Wenbin doesn't like this team very much. This team won a new nickname in the second round of the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan last year: La Masia Film and Television Academy.

Unless Barcelona's diehard fans, other people are most disgusted with Barcelona at this time, and Lu Wenbin is no exception.

In the end, only Real Madrid and Inter Milan are left.

Real Madrid is because of its reputation. Although it has been trapped in the Champions League sixteen franchise circle in recent years, it does not prevent it from being the most attractive galactic warship in world football for players.

As a young man of only 20 years old, Lu Wenbin is also yearning for Real Madrid.

Especially in the Champions League final last season, he saw the magnificence of the Bernabéu Stadium on the spot, and won the applause and support of many Real Madrid fans during the game.

From the end of the Champions League final to the present, Real Madrid President Florentino has also continued to express his extreme appreciation of Lu Wenbin, hoping that Lu Wenbin will go to Bernabeu to play for the Galaxy Warships and form the most expensive pair of striker killers in world football with Ronaldo.

However, Real Madrid’s annual salary is not very high, only 500,000 euros higher than Ronaldo after the renewal. It is far from Manchester City. It is just to satisfy Lu Wenbin’s reputation as the world’s first annual salary. Mendes and Lu Wenbin are both. Not very satisfied.

Of course, this is not a problem. The name of the Galaxy Warship, even if the annual salary is a little lower, is still very attractive.

But what makes Lu Wenbin upset is that Real Madrid insisted on half of Lu Wenbin's portrait rights income.

In Hoffenheim, the first signing was when all the portrait rights belonged to the club. In 2008, the first renewal of the contract was half of the income from the portrait rights and the club. The third renewal in 2009 was that Lu Wenbin accounted for 90%, and the club only took 10%.

With his own achievements and the unique advantage of relying on the 1.3 billion Chinese market, Lu Wenbin's current advertising endorsement income can be much higher than his annual salary.

If the income from portrait rights is halved with Real Madrid, wouldn’t it mean that Real Madrid’s annual salary will not only be in vain, but will also make a lot of money every year?

Although the transfer fee of 100 million euros is very expensive, Lu Wenbin is confident that the next transfer will help the club earn more transfer fees.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin will not let out the income sharing of portrait rights.

Because sometimes the club name, jersey, and team logo are used for endorsements, which is not appropriate at all, but it is the same as the last contract renewal with Hoffenheim~www.ltnovel.com~Lu Wenbin gives up 10% at most, Just mean it.

Florentino firmly refused to agree to this.

The commercial success of Real Madrid is supported by the advertising endorsements of superstars. It can even be said that Real Madrid can frequently stage large-scale transfers in the transfer market, it is precisely because of Real Madrid's commercial success.

Real Madrid is not like Inter Milan relying on the chairman’s private pockets to support the team. Real Madrid’s superstar policy allows their jersey sales, advertising endorsements, commercial competitions, etc., to be in short supply, and it has always been one of the most profitable clubs.

If you give up the right to portrait and divide it into this piece, it will not only involve monetary benefits, but will even lead to other Real Madrid players rebelling.

For example, Ronaldo, the current share of portrait rights is 60%, a level higher than 50% of other Real Madrid players.

But if Lu Wenbin signs a 90% share, Cristiano Ronaldo will probably rebel, and other players won't do it.

Just like Hoffenheim’s inability to give Lu Wenbin a too high annual salary, it’s too much to destroy the unity of the team. (Seeking monthly pass)
