After leaving the restaurant, Qin Xiong went straight to his car and drove away, ignoring the reporters who rushed to hand him a microphone.
But Freddy spoke to the reporters.
He said to the media without hiding anything, "The negotiations with the Real Madrid president have encountered obstacles. We can't reach an agreement on Qin Xiong's contract renewal for the time being. We hope that the Real Madrid Club can improve the terms of the contract renewal as soon as possible to facilitate the contract renewal. I hope we can feel the sincerity of the club."
As soon as Freddy's voice fell, a reporter immediately asked, "Does Qin Xiong want to leave Real Madrid? Did the club not give him a weekly salary of £200,000 for his contract renewal? "
In fact, there were not many secrets inside Real Madrid, especially the management. After all, there were many people, and a lot of news would be spread before or at the same time to be known by the media.
Qin Xiong's contract renewal conditions were actually known to the outside world.
He would be Real Madrid's highest-paid star player, along with Ronaldo.
But there were also media analysts who analyzed that Florentino had sent a clear signal by doing so.
In their eyes, Qin Xiong's commercial influence was not as good as Ronaldo's, which could bring more direct benefits to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's influence was in the Latin American region, and Ronaldo happened to be the most popular football star in Latin America. Qin Xiong's influence was most obvious in the Asian market, but that was not the core market of Real Madrid's commercial development. In other words, the benefits that the Asian market brought to Real Madrid were far less than the Latin American region.
Under such a consideration of interests, Qin Xiong and Ronaldo received the same treatment. Ronaldo's commercial influence was bonus points, while Qin Xiong's was bonus points based on his competitive contribution. The two could be equal.
The outside world thought that Qin Xiong should be satisfied. After all, a weekly salary of £200,000 was already a super salary.
However, Freddy's words did not stop until they were shocked to death. After having dinner with Florentino, Qin Xiong left first. His agent revealed that the renewal of the contract was not going well. Qin Xiong, who only had one year left on the contract, was now Real Madrid's focus.
By being able to successfully renew Qin Xiong's contract, Florentino had basically "brought in" a third superstar!
"No, Qin Xiong has no intention of leaving Real Madrid yet. He has a contract with Real Madrid. He will fulfill the contract, but whether or not he signs a new contract is another matter."
After saying that, Freddy pushed through the crowd and drove his car away.
Florentino turned a deaf ear to the reporters as he left the restaurant. He calmly got into his car and left.
The news that Qin Xiong and Florentino's meeting to discuss the contract renewal was not going well immediately spread throughout the city, and then caused a stir in all the major football newspapers in Europe!
This meant that Qin Xiong was likely to enter the market!
The major clubs in Europe began to act and launched a purchase offensive for Qin Xiong.
The news spread quickly. After Qin Xiong returned home in the evening, he received an invitation call.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, Qin Xiong, who was sitting on the sofa at home watching TV, was very curious about who would call.
After muting the TV, Qin Xiong pressed the answer button.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"Qin Xiong. I haven't contacted you for a long time. I don't know if you still remember me."
Qin Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up. He cheered up and said with a smile, "How could I forget you? Occasionally, I would see your great achievements in the Netherlands. "
The caller really had not contacted Qin Xiong for a long time.
Louis Van Gaal!
In the past few years, Louis Van Gaal coached AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. After four years of painstaking training, and last season, he led AZ Alkmaar to break the nearly 30-year monopoly of the three major clubs in the Eredivisie and successfully reached the top of the Eredivisie!
And after the end of the season, Louis Van Gaal went to Bayern Munich to take up his new position.
"You already know that I came to Bayern Munich in Germany, right?"
Louis Van Gaal did not chat too much with Qin Xiong and went straight to the point.
Qin Xiong replied into the phone, "Yes, I saw the news."
"How's your contract extension with Real Madrid going?"
"It's not going well. From an economic point of view, my team does not agree with Real Madrid's contract extension. From a competitive point of view, Real Madrid's recruitment policy now worries me. I will only say these words to you. Maybe it's because I achieved glory with Ajax and Arsenal, but I'm not particularly interested in the superstar policy. Instead, I believe that the success of a team depends on whether the team is balanced. This is the foundation.
Right now, Real Madrid's lineup is not balanced, and the recruitment has not improved this point. I'm a little disappointed about this. I also have to think seriously about the future. I still remember the words you said to me when you left. Think carefully. Yes, I'm thinking carefully now. "
Louis Van Gaal was silent for a moment, and then a firm voice came through.
"Qin Xiong, come to Bayern Munich! We can really work together. At Bayern Munich, I believe I can let you play to 100% of your strength. Bayern Munich can also become a top team in European football. You will be more brilliant and successful! You will go down in history. "
Qin Xiong was not surprised that Louis Van Gaal would send him an invitation.
Wasn't it obvious?
When Louis Van Gaal asked about the progress of his contract extension with Real Madrid, Qin Xiong foresaw that these words would come out of Louis Van Gaal's mouth.
Qin Xiong also fell into silence. After a while, he said calmly into the phone, "Thank you, I can't make a decision now. First of all, my contract extension negotiations with Real Madrid have not really ended. Second, I'm worried about the competitiveness and attractiveness of the Bundesliga. To be honest, the Bundesliga is not the top league in Europe. How many of the top 100 stars in European football are in the Bundesliga? And how many of them are in La Liga, the Premier League, and Serie A? I hope to play in the top leagues for the next five to ten years. This is one of the reasons that is preventing me from joining Bayern Munich. But I still have the same words. I can't decide anything now. I will remember your invitation. Whether I renew my contract with Real Madrid or refuse to renew my contract and seek a transfer, I will give you a call back and tell you my decision. "
"Well, I understand your concerns very well. So that's it for now. I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiong turned up the volume of the television again. He now had the first invitation in his hand. This did not make him rest easy, but at least his heart was a little more settled.
On the bright side, cooperating with Louis Van Gaal was not a bad choice.
The two of them could continue their relationship as master and disciple.
Bayern Munich was actually very attractive. After all, it was Germany's number one powerhouse. However, the Bundesliga's attractiveness was not as strong. This was also something that Qin Xiong had to consider.
