"Phew, phew, phew …"
"Well, let's call it a day."
In the gym in Qin Xiong's villa, Sylvia looked at the time and spoke to Qin Xiong on the treadmill.
Qin Xiong pressed the stop button on the treadmill, then slowed down his pace and walked a few steps before stopping completely.
After returning to Madrid from Liverpool, Real Madrid's main players were given two days off.
Although it was the end of the season, Qin Xiong's physical condition was maintained very well this season. Bosque's physical arrangements for the main players to combine work and rest made it so that he did not have an unsustainable situation at the end of the season.
Freddy visited Qin Xiong's house in the afternoon.
He brought a bottle of good red wine and also booked a delivery dinner in the city. He planned to have dinner together at Qin Xiong's house.
He knew that since Sylvia was pregnant, Qin Xiong rarely went out, unless he accompanied Sylvia to go shopping.
Before dinner, Qin Xiong and Freddy sat on the sofa and chatted casually.
"Maybe it's not a good time to talk about this, but I think there's nothing wrong with mentioning it to let you know."
Freddy's words made Qin Xiong withdraw his gaze from the TV and turn to look at Freddy. He asked, "What's the matter, Kyle?"
Freddy said, "Do you know the situation in Manchester City in the past year?"
Qin Xiong thought about it and said, "I know a little about it. I learned it from watching the news. The former Prime Minister of Thailand, Thaksin, bought Manchester City and injected a lot of money."
Freddy nodded and said, "Yes, but Thaksin has been entangled in a corruption case in Thailand. He is no longer able to control Manchester City."
Qin Xiong said inexplicably, "You're making me a little confused. I thought you would say that Thaksin wanted me to transfer to Manchester City and what kind of benefits he offered me. Now it doesn't seem to be the case."
Freddy smiled and said, "Pretty much. Although Thaksin could not get away to control Manchester City again, Manchester City Football Club's finances were not a problem because there was already a consortium from the Middle East who wanted to invest in Manchester City. The latest information I've received shows that Manchester City has included you in the list of major acquisitions and hopes to create some sensation. For example, they'll offer you at least 80 million pounds, more than 100 million euros in transfer fees. Another example is that they'll give you the highest salary in the world as a football player. "
Qin Xiong shook his head and said, "That's not how you calculate it, right? The salary I take from the club is less than 20% of my commercial income. If I transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester City, how much will my commercial income decrease? "
In fact, the calculation was very complicated, but it could be analyzed thoroughly if one looked at the overall situation.
A large part of the reason why Qin Xiong's salary after his transfer to Real Madrid was not as high as the one he asked for from Arsenal during his time at Arsenal was that Qin Xiong's commercial income would skyrocket again through Real Madrid's platform, so that his total income could completely exceed the level of the high salary he had previously asked from Arsenal.
He was not just relying on playing football to make money now.
Freddy said matter-of-factly, "That's true, but Manchester City's conditions for your salary are accompanied by commercial sponsorship. That is to say, they won't let you earn a penny less than in Real Madrid in the future, or even more."
Qin Xiong grinned and said, "They're really rich and overbearing. Where did the boss come from to be so generous? They simply don't treat money as money. "
"Heh, maybe he's short of everything but money. Well, I've told you about this matter. That's it. "
"Wait, aren't you going to ask me what I think?"
Freddy looked at Qin Xiong's half-smile and said, "What's there to ask? If you're tempted, you'll go to Chelsea first. There are a lot of rich people who are willing to spend a lot of money for you. It won't be Manchester City's turn. "
"Hahaha, I forgot about that."
.....
It was almost May, and the European transfer market would open in two months. The European clubs had already started the substantial work of recruiting.
Compared to previous years, the powerhouse clubs would launch a fierce pursuit of Qin Xiong, this year's pursuit of Qin Xiong was unusually cold.
For the teams that were more mature in operating the transfer market, they all knew that the current Qin Xiong could not be bought with money. Real Madrid would not release him with a large transfer fee.
First of all, Real Madrid was not a team that focused on the club's profits. Second, Qin Xiong's value at this year's level would probably start at no less than 100 million euros. Just like last season's Kaka, whose starting price was more than 80 million euros, AC Milan would not release him.
Perhaps only a club like Manchester City, which suddenly had a consortium's investment but did not thoroughly understand how the transfer game between the powerhouses was played, would be whimsical enough to bring in Qin Xiong.
The Real Madrid Club also had to start the substantial work of recruiting for the summer at this time.
Before that, there should still be the team's contract renewal work that needed to be put on the table.
Qin Xiong's contract with Real Madrid at the end of this season would only have two years left.
The first to bear the brunt would naturally be Qin Xiong's contract renewal work. Freddy had also received an invitation for negotiations from Real Madrid's president, Calderón, who hoped to sit down with everyone to talk about Qin Xiong's contract renewal.
With Qin Xiong's current level, the contract renewal negotiations would certainly not be settled at once.
After all, Freddy wanted to fight for the greatest benefits for Qin Xiong. Of course, he would ask for an exorbitant price at the beginning that Real Madrid could not accept.
In particular, Qin Xiong's form this season was so hot that he had helped Real Madrid achieve brilliant results. If he could go one step further and help Real Madrid win the club's tenth Champions League title, Qin Xiong's reputation in the international football world and his position within the Real Madrid Club would be unprecedentedly improved.
The real negotiations would definitely begin at the end of the season. Now was just a formality to warm up the conversation for the real negotiations.
The core of Freddy's conditions were two.
First, Qin Xiong wanted to become the highest-paid player in Real Madrid!
Second, Real Madrid's commercial platform had to facilitate Qin Xiong's commercial market hype. The two sides had to cooperate with each other.
Of these two points, the only one that might trouble Real Madrid was the first point.
As for the second point, Calderón, who was not as obsessed and persistent with commercial development as Florentino, would not consider the pros and cons.
But the first point, giving Qin Xiong the highest salary in the team would probably make Calderón think carefully.
There was a phenomenon that was the biggest difference between the Calderón era and the Florentino era.
After Real Madrid entered the Calderón era, its financial situation became worse and worse!
To put it bluntly.
It earned less and less, but spent more and more.
Now, even if Real Madrid borrowed 60 million euros from the bank, the bank would only approve half of it!
This had never happened in the Florentino era!
