Chapter 1329 I believe in Yang Yang!
The team flew from Madrid to Tokyo, rushing for the Club World Cup championship that is close at hand, but the Real Madrid management that stayed in Madrid was not idle at all.

In fact, Jose Sanchez, the head of the business department, has flown to Tokyo twice in the past month, mainly busy with Real Madrid's business operations and promotion in Japan during the Club World Cup, and at the same time finalized several partners.

This is also thanks to Yang Yang. There are no Japanese companies among his personal sponsors. Japanese companies including Sony, Toyota, and Honda have offered Yang Yang sky-high contracts, but he has rejected them all. However, Yang Yang’s reputation in Japan is too popular, so many Japanese companies have adopted curve-saving policies one after another, that is, sponsoring Real Madrid.

Coupled with the achievements of Real Madrid in European football and world football in the past few years, Real Madrid has been extremely successful in terms of business operations, and its revenue has also been growing at double digits every year, hitting new highs repeatedly.

According to Jose Sanchez's preliminary estimate, if there is no accident, Real Madrid's revenue will hit a record high this season, and this is precisely due to the soaring performance of Real Madrid and the joint coaching of Zidane and Yang Yang.

Today's Real Madrid is full of big-name players from the coaching bench to the bench, and they are also invincible in the commercial market, but the only hidden danger is Yang Yang's contract renewal.

As a team with a mature and rigorous management system, Real Madrid has a complete set of procedures for evaluating players.

The whole world knows that Yang Yang is very important to Real Madrid, but only the business department of Real Madrid knows that his financial contribution to Real Madrid far exceeds outside speculation, because behind Yang Yang is the huge Chinese and Asian markets. Even in the United States, Yang Yang’s influence is amazing, far exceeding other sports stars.

For such a player, Real Madrid naturally attaches great importance to it.

Renewing a lifetime contract with Yang Yang has always been the official request of Real Madrid, and they are even willing to give a huge concession in terms of annual salary, but Yang Yang has never agreed, which has become the most troublesome thing for Real Madrid officials.

On the competitive level, Real Madrid's biggest hidden danger is how long can the 29-year-old Yang Yang maintain this state?
On the commercial level, the biggest hidden danger for Real Madrid is Yang Yang. What if he doesn't want to renew his contract with Real Madrid?
Time drags on, which is quite detrimental to Real Madrid.

So much so that after sending Real Madrid’s first team on a flight to Japan, the core executives held an emergency meeting at the Bernabéu Stadium. Chairman Florentino, Technical Director Valdano, General Manager Manuel Redondo, Director of Commerce Jose Sanchez, and key members of the board of directors were all present.

There is only one topic, Yang Yang!

…………

…………

"I asked him and he told me himself that he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid."

Florentino talked about what he had gained from communicating with Yang Yang at the Christmas dinner. This topic was only discussed in a joking manner, and he did not discuss it in depth. However, Florentino believed that Yang Yang was very sincere when he said these words, not like a fake.

"Does that mean that the contract renewal negotiations can start?" Jose Sanchez asked anxiously.

In the past few years, Real Madrid's revenue has skyrocketed year by year, and he, the business director, has also risen accordingly, becoming the top commercial trader in European football, but Jose Sanchez knows that the reason why he can achieve these results and the reason why Real Madrid's business operations are so successful is that Yang Yang is very important.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the renewal of Yang Yang's contract is Real Madrid's top priority.

Florentino did not answer, but turned to look at Valdano, who shook his head and sighed.

"Raiola conveyed Yang Yang's meaning, and I also asked Zidane to find out. Yang Yang is now 29 years old. There is no doubt that he is at the peak of his career, but he is also evaluating his own situation, especially after he is 30 years old. No one knows what he will look like."

"Yang Yang's attitude has always been very clear, that is, he hopes to have only good memories in his career, and not the bleakness of old age. If his state declines significantly after the age of 30, he will not rule out early retirement. Even if the team does not have his place at that time, he will consider leaving."

There was silence in the conference room.

From Valdano's words, everyone can feel Yang Yang's thoughts. What he wants is dignity and decency, but this is difficult for Real Madrid to accept, because there are too many uncertain factors.

There is a saying in European football that players in contract years are often the best able to play at the highest level of their careers.

This is not a joke, because it represents a general phenomenon.

That is, some players are usually poor, but every time the contract year comes, they will usher in an explosion and play in an amazing state. After signing a big contract, they will soon slump.

This is definitely not an accidental phenomenon, but actually happened.

Why are 28 nine-year-old players always able to play at the highest level in their careers?
In addition to being at the peak of body, experience and technology, the more important reason is that players of this age will sign the last and heaviest contract of their careers.

How much this contract can sign will determine their direction in the next few years, and even the rest of their lives.

There is no doubt that Yang Yang is no longer short of money. Even when the last contract was renewed, he did not entangle Real Madrid on the annual salary at all. He only needs to sign for three years.

This can prove that Yang Yang doesn't care about money at all when playing football now, he only cares about whether he is happy or not.

In other words, he could retire anytime, anywhere, as long as he wanted to.

Because of this, he is unwilling to be restricted by an excessively long contract, but this is very dangerous for Real Madrid.

How much is Yang Yang worth?

The external assessment is 4000 million euros, compared to Messi's [-] million euros, but to measure it in the simplest way, that is, if a team is willing to pay [-] million euros in transfer fees, would Real Madrid be willing to sell Yang Yang?

The answer is, do not sell!

That is to say, Yang Yang is like a treasure worth far more than [-] million euros, but this value has a shelf life, and the contract period is the shelf life of the value. As the shelf life shortens, the value is shrinking rapidly.

Then the best option is to get out in time before the shelf life expires.

That's [-] million euros!
Jose Sanchez is certainly reluctant to see Real Madrid go, but as the club's commercial director, he has to voice his concerns.

"As the contract expires, we will become more and more passive, because we don't know when he will suddenly change his decision. For example, he may want to go to another team. Even if he wants to stay, how will the salary be determined?"

There is no free lunch in the world, free transfer players are not cheap at all, this is the consensus.

If it continues to drag on, in the middle of [-], Yang Yang's contract has two years left, which is already the bottom line of the normal contract renewal process. In [-], when Yang Yang's contract year is entered, Real Madrid will be very passive, because in January [-], Yang Yang will be able to find a team by himself.

Looking at European football, there are countless teams that want to get him. There are also many rich teams that can afford his huge annual salary, such as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United or Manchester City, and even Juventus and Bayern Munich can accept it.

Not to mention the rival Barcelona on the opposite side.

Who can guarantee that Yang Yang will not take advantage of the expiry of the contract, or even the expiry of the contract, to strike hard?
Everyone present was familiar with Yang Yang and knew that he was not such a person, but who could guarantee it?
Even at the commercial level, even Yang Yang's own guarantee cannot be trusted, let alone others?
"My opinion is that the contract extension must be completed this summer at the latest. If he is not willing to be bound by the contract, then we can adopt more flexible and free terms, but there is only one core point, that is, he must stay in Real Madrid."

Jose Sanchez's meaning is very clear, and from the perspective of business operations, it should indeed be the case, only the contract is the guarantee.

Valdano looked at the thoughtful Florentino, then at the silent Manuel Redondo, and finally at Jose Sanchez and the whispering Real Madrid directors. He knew in his heart that Yang Yang was really important!

It is so important that everything Real Madrid does now is in fear of losing him suddenly one day in the future.

But is Yang Yang willing to accept it?

He prefers to take a one-year signing method, but can Real Madrid accept it?

When Guardiola was coaching Barcelona, ​​he signed once a year, but he is the head coach, and he is far inferior to the current Yang Yang in terms of competitive value and commercial value. Will Real Madrid give Yang Yang such trust?

Valdano even had a vague feeling that Yang Yang was considering leaving Real Madrid in [-] after fulfilling this contract.

Because during his time at Real Madrid, he had already won everything, and he had no more pursuits, and at the age of 31, it would be difficult for him to bring breakthroughs to Real Madrid. At that time, he should be considering a way out.

He is not short of money, honor, or anything, and it is normal to retire early.

Is it possible that he really has to wait until he is old, unable to play the ball on the court, be criticized by fans in every possible way, and finally leave in disgrace like Hierro, Raul and Casillas?

Reality is always cruel, and fans are always forgetful.

Only when you lose, can you understand the beauty of having.

"Jorge, you are the technical director, what do you think?" Florentino looked at Valdano.

The Argentine hesitated, "I don't think Yang Yang has a reason to leave Real Madrid. I believe that if he really leaves Real Madrid in the future, the possibility of retiring will be far greater than going to other teams. Jose's view is understandable from a commercial point of view. I support it, but if it is me, I will continue to give trust."

"I believe in Yang Yang, he is a sincere, frank and emotional person!"

Valdano's words touched Florentino. In fact, he also knew Yang Yang very well.

As the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino has been criticized for his methods in the past few years. From Hierro to Makelele, to Raul and Casillas later, the departure of almost all Real Madrid leaders has caused him to be accused and criticized.

As he brought in with one hand and is the greatest player in the history of Real Madrid, does Yang Yang have to repeat these mistakes?
But as a businessman, he is very clear that Jose Sanchez's suggestion is sensible, only the contract can be reassuring, and any verbal promises are false.

Florentino is in a dilemma!
