Li Ming looked at it, the German transfer at the end of 2005 is still an offensive player, at this time Messi has not yet been on the list, Ronaldo is still pressed by Rooney, who was born in the same year, barely squeezed into the list, and everyone's worth is still ordinary and the future Jin Yuan era is incomparable. But Li Ming knows that it will only take two to three years for world football to usher in a new situation.

That evening, just after dinner, Li Ming was called out to the club's finance department, where the players without agents were participating in the contract negotiations jointly composed of three departments of finance, legal affairs, and athletics, and each young player who came out was either excited or disappointed, because at this meeting, a group of players who would also decide to terminate their contracts early in the winter window.

Ortega also stood by the side of the conference room, sighed, and whispered to Li Ming: "It's too instigating!"

In the Bianchi turmoil, Domingo, the vice president who benefited from the promotion, personally sat in the joint meeting, and when he saw Li Ming coming, he immediately greeted cheerfully: "Amin, sit down quickly, your problem, Mr. President, attaches great importance to it."

Li Ming thought to himself, come to be practical, pay attention to the salary increase!

Domingo looked at Li Ming's expectant eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Armin, you know, you are an important part of the club's long-term plan, and in the summer, we just renewed your contract, in order to show my recognition of you..."

Domingo's eyes flashed: "We will extend your contract in this winter window, the initial plan is like this, your weekly salary will increase by 75% from 2,000 euros, directly to 3,500 euros, are you happy?"

Li Ming smiled and said meaningfully: "I thank you!"

Domingo heard the voice: "Amin, you are still young, the future is still long, you continue to listen to me, the contract deadline has been extended from June 2008 to June 2010, how about it, be sincere!" "

Logically speaking, a 75% salary increase is indeed not a small deal in the general industry, but this is not the case in the sports industry, the so-called practice of a large contract and the whole family is rich, not only in the football circle, NBA, MLB and other well-known sports leagues, young main players in the first key time point when the contract is renewed, the salary increase is not a hundred times but also more than ten times. Unless you love the club too much, it doesn't matter about money.

Li Ming is well aware of this reasoning, so Li Ming simply disdains Domingo's plan.

Domingo continued: "As for the liquidated damages, we will increase them from 8 million euros to 25 million euros, the appearance fee from 700 euros to 1200 euros, and the no-concede bonus to 2000 euros. Amin, I want to congratulate you on signing a new contract in advance!

Li Ming secretly took a sip in his heart, he could be regarded as hearing the key information, that is, the substantial increase in liquidated damages.

Because Li Ming's transfer fee assessment in Germany is now 10.8 million euros, but the liquidated damages in the current contract are only 8 million euros, if there is a club according to the full liquidated damages to quote, the club can not prevent Li Ming and other clubs from negotiating contracts.

Therefore, Atletico's priority is to increase the liquidated damages and lock in a longer time limit with a lower contract.

Li Ming smiled: "Mr. Deputy General Manager, I am not satisfied with this offer, I will consider it again!"

Domingo was a little anxious: "Amin, this offer is very good, you can consider it again, if you want to sign, you can contact me directly!"

Li Ming let out a long sigh: "Because I come from the Atletico Academy and still have feelings for the club, so..." The

eyes of everyone else in the conference room lit up, thinking that this kid was really going to be set!

"So, I'll go back and think about it, I hope my weekly salary, shouldn't be lower than Franco, so I have reservations about this offer, goodbye!"

When everyone listened, they also counted in their hearts, Franco now earns 35,000 euros a week, and everyone thinks that this kid's appetite is really not small!

Although Atletico tried their best to cover up the news that Li Ming did not immediately renew his contract, Italy's "Sports Pravda", known as the king of paparazzi, published it on a page the next morning: the new Dutch national refused to renew the contract, and the liquidated damages were only 800w!

Atletico were still checking who had leaked the news, but received four offers on the same day.

Manchester United directly quoted 8 million euros according to the liquidated damages, because Li Ming did not have an agent, and Ferguson directly asked the legal department to send the draft contract to Atletico Madrid and contacted Li Ming through Van der Sar: a weekly salary of 45,000 euros, an appearance fee of 12,000 euros, a no-conceding bonus of 15,000 euros, and a fixed salary increase of 8% per year, especially Ferguson directly gave Li Ming a 30% distribution of portrait rights income, and promised to buy Li Ming a large flat floor in the Wharton area of Manchester.

Van der Sar even called Li Ming directly: "I recommended you to Sir Verd, I'm 35, you hurry up to Manchester United, at the club you give me a substitute for a while, in the national team I give you a substitute, we have our own discussions!" Li

Ming was stunned when he heard it, Atletico only offered a weekly salary of 3.5k, but Manchester United directly gave 4.5w, and returned to buy a house, I have to say that Ferguson does have vision!

The second offer came from Serie A's Lazio, with an down payment of €5 million and another €3 million in installments a year, also meeting the requirements for direct negotiations. The offer email additionally said: Angelo Peruzi is over 35 years old, and Mr. Li Ming can play directly as a starter in this team.

The third-party offer came from Arsenal in the Premier League for €3 million in cash, plus two exchange players: 17-year-old Danish goalscorer Bentener and Spanish goalkeeper Almunia. Arsenal's email to Atletico specifically wrote: The details of the offer cannot be revealed! Presumably, the Emirates Stadium is almost built, and the finances are also a lot worse.

The fourth offer, on the other hand, came from rivals Real Madrid, had no cash, but offered two direct exchanges: young goalkeeper Diego López and young left-back Felipe Luiz. Atletico don't want to see it.
