Restricted Superstar

Mendes didn't give any face to David Gill. David Gill went to Mendes twice, but Mendes avoided seeing him twice. The third time, David Gill didn't make an appointment and went directly to Mendes' house. I just met Mendes.

Although Mendes deliberately turned away David Gill, he was still as gentle and polite as before when they met.

After sitting down and serving tea, Mendes asked, knowingly: David, what do you want from me?

Don't you know what I'm here for? David Gill suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile: Mr. Mendes, what else is more important for Manchester United than Xiaodong's contract extension?

Mendes seemed to have forgotten that there had been multiple rounds of contract renewal negotiations before, and said with a smile: Are you so anxious? Xiaodong still has two years of contract with Manchester United.

David Gill quickly laughed and said: Two years is too short. If Xiaodong does not renew his contract, the fans and players will not feel at ease. Besides, Xiaodong, as the number one person in the world, should have an annual salary that matches his status. Now Messi After renewing the contract with Ronaldo, his annual salary exceeds that of Xiaodong, so Manchester United must increase Xiaodong's salary.

What David Gill said made him feel sick, but he had no choice. At this time, he could only say this.

Mendes crossed his legs and said leisurely: David, Xiaodong has already thought about it and feels that the current salary is good. Manchester United is currently in financial difficulty. As a member of Manchester United, Xiaodong must make some contribution to Manchester United no matter what. .”

What Mendes said was so righteous. If Gao Xiaodong were around, he would definitely give a thumbs up and praise Mendes for how well he pretended to be.

The less Mendes wanted to talk, the less sure David Gill felt. He was worried that Mendes had already had deeper contact with Manchester City or Chelsea.

David Gill said quickly: No, no, letting Xiaodong have the highest salary in the world is not only Xiaodong's need, but also Manchester United's face. No matter how tight Manchester United's economy is, this is what must be done. This is the intention of the Glazer boss.

Oh. Mendes said oh and stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became awkward.

Mendes didn't accept the move, so David Gill had no choice but to play a one-man show. He had no choice but to mess up the show with Ephraim before.

Mendez, after discussions between us and the Glazer boss, the contract renewal conditions you proposed earlier are still reasonable.

David Gill was originally planning to lower Gao Xiaodong's annual salary to 17 million, but Mendes gave such an attitude that David Gill did not dare to mention it again and directly agreed to Mendes' original request. .

However, Mendes still did not accept this problem.

Just another oh.

When David Gill saw Mendez's indifferent attitude, he was so angry that the universe was about to explode, but he couldn't get angry. Today he was here to sign the alliance under the city. If he left in anger, Gao Xiaodong would refuse in the end. Renewing his contract with Manchester United is a consequence he cannot bear.

David Gill could only laugh dryly and said: Mendes, what I mean is that the last time you asked for an annual salary of 18 million euros for Xiaodong, Boss Glazer agreed.

Mendes seemed to understand at this time and said: This is a good thing.

When David Gill heard Gao Xiaodong, he thought Mendes had agreed. Unexpectedly, Mendes said solemnly: Okay, okay, but will this affect Manchester United's salary structure? After all, Xiaodong's annual salary Much taller than everyone else.”

David Gill was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, because this was the reason why he refused to give Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of 18 million, but now David Gill could only slap himself in the face.

No, definitely not. Everyone knows Xiaodong's strength. He is the top scorer in the league and the Champions League and the core midfielder. Who would be dissatisfied with Xiaodong's high salary? In addition, coach Ferguson also has enough ability and prestige to ensure the unity and stability of the team.

Finally forcing David Gill to eat what he said, Mendes also let out a sigh of relief and said relaxedly: Then let me first thank Manager David and Boss Glazer for Xiaodong.

David Gill said: You're welcome, this will be beneficial to Xiaodong, Manchester United and Manchester United fans.

Mendes said: Yes, this is a contract that is beneficial to all three parties. It should have been signed long ago. By the way, David, last time I went to China, Xiaodong told me that the contract can only be renewed for one year. Year.

David Gill was shocked, Mr. Mendes, it was originally agreed to renew the contract for three years, but now it has become one year?

When a player signs a contract with the club, if the player is young, a short contract will be an advantage to the player. If the player is old, a short contract will be an advantage to the club. If Gao Xiaodong only renews the contract for one year, the entire contract will only be three years, that is to say Gao Xiaodong was only 25 years old when the contract ended, which was obviously very detrimental to Manchester United.

Mendes said with a smile: This is a sky-high contract. We can't take advantage of the club, so we plan to renew it year by year.

David Gill said in embarrassment: Mr. Mendes, with an annual salary of 18 million euros, if I only renew the contract for one year, I can't explain it to Mr. Ferguson or the Glazer boss, and Manchester United fans will not agree. .

Mendes spread his hands and said: The contract is renewed for one year, which is a three-year contract in total. What do the fans have to worry about.

Renewing the contract for one year is really unacceptable to Manchester United. David Gill said: Mr. Mendes, otherwise, the annual salary will not be increased. Manchester United can provide Xiaodong with more bonuses, including goal awards. You I advise Xiaodong to renew the contract according to the original agreed time.

Gao Xiaodong hopes to sign a short-term contract, because Xiaodong has a superstar system in hand and has enough confidence in himself. However, Gao Xiaodong did not say to renew the contract for one year, but for two years, but Mendes wanted to sign a big contract. He just deliberately said that he would renew the contract for one year. He knew that David Gill would not accept it and might continue to make concessions in order to extend the contract extension.

Although the bonus may not be available, considering the strength of Manchester United and Gao Xiaodong's scoring ability, the bonus may be more affordable than the increased annual salary.

So Mendes said: Since David you are so sincere, I will call Xiaodong to persuade him.

David Gill said: Okay, I will also go back and do Mr. Glazer's work, and we will contact you later.

After David Gill said goodbye to Mendes, he did not return to Manchester. He immediately called Ferguson and told him about the negotiation with Mendes. Ferguson was cunning and knew that Mendes was taking the opportunity to rip off again, but it had already reached this point. Even if you suffer a small loss, you still have to sign the contract, so I agree with David Gill's approach.

With Ferguson's consent, David Gill then called Glazer. Unlike his son, Glazer had a higher vision and a broader mind, and he agreed without hesitation to David Gill's proposal to use the bonus. in exchange for a longer renewal period.
