Dong Fangzhuo had just returned to England from Italy when his agent, Jorge Mendes, visited him.

Mendes is a busy man, running all over the world, searching for future stars from all over the world, and at the same time taking care of the business of the stars.

"Dong,"

"Ferguson interviewed me again."

Dong Fangzhuo is not surprised at all, since the Champions League defeat to Barcelona, the English media began to discuss his future.

Once the future is discussed, going to other teams, Manchester United has some moves.

"He's not worried about your future at all, this time, let's negotiate a big contract."

"I've been talking for two weeks, and it's basically the same, are you satisfied?"

Mendez sat down on the couch, pulled out his briefcase, and pulled out a dozen A4 contract papers.

In fact, Dong Fangzhuo only renewed his contract with Manchester United last year, and it was a little early to negotiate a contract extension, but Manchester United and Ferguson were a little anxious.

Negotiations for a four-year extension have already begun? It's not a fantasy, and in the unpredictable age of the transfer market, the best thing to do is to lock up your talent.

The incident was reported in the media during the international break, with the Sunday Mirror revealing that Manchester United were preparing to "buy" Dong's career with a £40 million lifetime contract.

The price of 40 million is surprisingly high, but Manchester United is willing to pay this "insurance money" for Dong Fangzhuo, the article said that Dong Fangzhuo and his agent Mendes have discussed with the club's senior management, once the two sides confirm the new contract, then Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary at this stage will definitely be greatly increased.

Compared with John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and other big names in England, he can only be ranked in the "middle class", and the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Neville in the Manchester United team are paid more than him. The contract was signed a year ago, and now he has become the absolute core of the club, winning the league and Champions League goalscoring charts, and once again attracting Real Madrid's watch, Manchester United believe it is time to increase the price again......

When the Spanish media helped Real Madrid to send a signal, Ferguson actually gave a signal, especially when some media reported that Ronaldo's goals in the league had surpassed Dong Fangzhuo: "Everyone wants to play side by side with him, there is no doubt about that." Fantastic player, you can't ignore him by instinct. ”

'He's scoring more and more goals, he's got a lot of creativity and energy, just pass the ball to him, he's the key player and captain of United's forward line for the next decade, I never had any doubts.'

This time, Manchester United responded with concrete actions. At the age of 21, it is no surprise that the Red Devils will be able to dominate the city for the next decade, and there will be no need for Old Trafford fans and Manchester United to hesitate at all.

"Mr. Mendez, you do something, I don't worry, you will handle it your way." Dong Fangzhuo said as he looked at the new contract.

The weekly salary is £130,000.

This is 2006.

What does £130,000 mean?

It's no longer a question of the number one highest salary in Manchester United, but the number one highest paid queue in the Premier League.

Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko are the two highest-paid Premier League players per week, both from Chelsea, after all, Abramovic is rich, so it is not surprising to give this high salary. The weekly salary of the two is 130,000 pounds, and Chelsea accounts for five of the top ten salaries in the Premier League, Frank Lampard 105,000, Deroy 91,000, and Essien 90,000......

"I could have given you 150,000 a week."

Mendes spread his hands and explained, "But you know, the Glazer family are so good at smashing the goal, they know how well they can do it, and they always feel that the players don't deserve that much. ”

"I insisted on 150,000 pounds, they insisted on 130,000, they could only be on par with Shevchenko, damn it, I have never seen such a critical owner and a club. They haven't really understood your worth until now. ”

Mendes was clearly not happy with his negotiations with Manchester United, and he wanted to give Dong Fangzhuo a weekly salary of £150,000, but United were only willing to give £130,000.

"130,000 is okay, after all, the contract has only been renewed for 1 year, and it is also the highest salary in the Premier League." Dong Fangzhuo smiled, this is really forcing the Glazer family to be anxious, he really sold himself to Real Madrid, Glazer is a businessman, he will only think about profits, no one can not be sold.

It's okay to go to Real Madrid, but not now. The most important thing now is to win all kinds of championships with Manchester United, at least to be famous, otherwise Dong Fangzhuo will feel that everything he does is meaningless.

"Well, although I'm not very satisfied, but at present, it can only be this price, anyway, I plan to talk to Manchester United every year......" Mendes nodded, he is an expert on the rivers and lakes, Dong Fangzhuo can think of it, he will definitely be able to think of it.

"When you get the Ballon d'Or, your value will have to double, and even if it's a transfer, your salary will rise dramatically. Now the most important thing is to achieve more honors. "The two of them went together.

"After you get your contract, I also have to get a new contract for Ronaldo, you two are football geniuses, you deserve what you get." Mendes also picked up Ronaldo's idea.

"Well, then, those friends in my country, how is your progress?"

Speaking of this, Mendes's brows furrowed, "It's not going well, it's still a matter of transfer price, the original operation is almost the same, but your record in the World Cup this summer is too terrible, and the transfer price has to change again...... It's still a long tug-of-war of negotiations, but I'm sure everything can be resolved before the winter transfer window arrives. Like Feng and Chen, they have already entered a rather serious negotiation stage, and they are just issues of interests and money, and they will always be negotiated. ”

Feng and Chen should be talking about Feng Xiaoting and Chen Tao.

However, Mendes's eyes still regained their light: "However, Dong, I found that there are still a lot of football talents in your country, but only for young players, older ones, and there are no talents in the right years, is this related to your country's policy and league level?" You know, if a player doesn't get a better platform to develop when they're young, then they're going to stagnate. I finally feel why you want me to be involved in the transfer of players in your country. Like us in Portugal, we never need to worry about not having young players popping up, although it has been a bit few in recent years, but our country's league is healthy and the policy is constantly developing......"
