Yes, Pan Yi is already planning for next season.

At this time, the Bundesliga has finished its 24th round.

Since Hamburg played a draw and Bayern still advanced with a complete victory, the point difference between the two widened to 9 points.

Bayern currently has 20 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 63 points, while Hamburg has 16 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses with 54 points.

But at the same time, the gap between Hamburg and third place is also widening.

After all, this season, especially in the second half of the season, no team has performed more consistently than Bayern and Hamburg.

From third to sixth, Dortmund now has 46 points, Leverkusen has 45 points, Frankfurt has 38 points, and Schalke 04 has 36 points.

In other words, there is already an 8-point gap between Hamburg and Dortmund, which is closest to itself!

From the perspective of competing for Champions League seats, since the Bundesliga has four participating seats, compared with Frankfurt, which is ranked fifth, Hamburg's lead is as much as 16 points!

With 10 rounds left in the league, with this 16-point gap, unless Hamburg collapses immediately, it will be difficult for the following teams to catch up.

In other words, Hamburg actually already has one foot in the Champions League.

Therefore, since Yakhov came to talk to him about contract renewal today, Pan Yi would like to talk to him in advance about the budget for next season.

After purchasing and running in this season, Hamburg's current lineup is already very good, but it is only based on single-line operations this season.

If the Champions League is to be played next season and the German Cup is not given up easily, these people will definitely not be enough.

Not even with Pintus here!

Frequent double races a week, the fatigue of driving and horse racing, etc., will grind even an iron man to a needle, and his condition will have great ups and downs.

Although there are some people who are extremely talented and may be fine even after playing for a whole year - such as Barcelona veteran Pedri, such people are still in the minority after all.

Pan Yi doesn't want to be like some small and medium-sized teams that suddenly have the opportunity to play in the European competition, and then get relegated while playing.

So we need to buy people, and to buy people we have to reach out to the chairman and ask for money.

But now, Yahov finally understood what Pan Yi meant.

He smiled.

He walked forward and patted Pan Yi's shoulder gently: "Don't worry, as long as we really reach the Champions League this season, I will give you 30 million... No, 40 million for you! Also, if you

If players are sold, you can still add 100% of the income to your transfer budget in the summer window!"

This is definitely a big deal.

The reason why Yahov can be so generous is not only to make Pan Yi feel the "warmth of home" with sincerity and keep his heart, but of course because he now has money in his hands, or is about to have one.

Money.

Of course, it's not because a mine was dug under the People's Park stadium. There is such a thing as a mine under the stadium. Only a few teams can do it.

Apart from anything else, as long as Hamburg can enter the Champions League next season, even if it loses all in the group stage, it will still receive a bonus of at least 15 million euros!

And if you can win a game, it will be about 2.5 million euros, and if you draw a game, it will be 7.8 million euros.

The cumulative total is about 20 million. After all, Hamburg is now the second level of the Bundesliga. No matter how bad it is, it won't be unable to win a group stage, right?

If you can reach the top 16, top 8, or even further behind, the bonus will be even greater. For example, the quarter-final bonus is about 10 million.

Of course, this Yachov did not include it in the guaranteed income for now, and just treated it as if he only played in the group stage and went home.

Then there is the additional broadcast fee share obtained by participating in the Champions League.

This depends on the team's influence and performance, after all, these will affect the ratings.

For example, teams like Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Milan have more points.

Take AC Milan, which won the championship last season, as an example. Their bonuses and broadcast fee sharing added up to more than 75 million euros!

Although Hamburg has not achieved much in recent years, under the influence of Pan Yi and the Asian stars in the team, it is estimated that the broadcast in Asia will still be relatively popular, and it is expected that a lot of money will be shared.

Don’t count too much, it’s probably 10 million.

The total revenue here is estimated to be 30 million.

The benefits for teams participating in the Champions League go beyond this.

Because the attendance of almost every Champions League game is full, and the team earns a lot from the tickets alone.

The average ticket price for Hamburg League home games is now 38 euros, and during Champions League games it can be around 60 euros, or even more.

With 50,000 people attending each game at the People's Park Stadium, the ticket revenue for each game is more than 2.5 million.

Even if they only play three home games in the group stage, the income here will be around 10 million.

It's still the same, the further back you play, the more expensive the tickets will be and the more income you will earn.

In addition, teams that enter the Champions League will have higher bids when facing sponsors, including courtside billboards, jersey advertisements, etc., which can be sold at good prices.

It’s not too much to earn an extra ten to twenty million in total.

This is all "future" money, that is, the extra money Hamburg can get after entering the Champions League.

At present, due to Hamburg's good performance in the Bundesliga, the increase in box office, the influx of sponsors, and the increase in broadcast fees have not yet been taken into account.

In fact, if you take a closer look, the sales volume of fan stores has increased significantly, and the sales of player jerseys and peripherals have been huge worldwide...

For a while, Yachov couldn't figure out how much money he made.

Therefore, when Yakov first said "30 million", he immediately felt that he was a bit stingy.

After all, at the beginning of this season, when Hamburg was still a relegation team, he provided Pan Yi with 25 million in funds!

Now that he is going to play in the Champions League, it can be said that Pan Yi helped him earn all this money, so he might as well pay it all.

So he immediately changed his story and mentioned it to "40 million."

In fact, in Yahov's heart, it doesn't matter if Pan Yi wants more.

After all, the 25 million he paid out at the beginning of the season...

I don’t know how much it has risen now!

After Pan Yi's various precise operations, and after nearly a season of training and competition, the value of these Hamburg players has become higher and higher.

De Bruyne, Vardy, Wu Lei, Casemiro, Carvajal, Navas...

All of them are worth upwards of 10 to 20 million.

Even including Paulinho and Robertson, who only joined in the second half of the season, their values ​​have increased by more than 100%.

There are also players such as Son Heung-min and Lin Zhijian who were originally in the Hamburg team, and their values ​​have also increased to varying degrees.

What kind of head coach is Pan Yi?

This is Buffett in football!

To say the least, the 25 million has turned into at least 100 million.

This return on investment... tsk tsk.

Therefore, Yahov is convinced that if you give money to Pan Yi, you will never lose money, on the contrary, you will make more and more!

As for Yahov's promise, Pan Yi was quite satisfied.

Hamburg's current main structure is relatively stable. In fact, as long as some rotation players are added in a few positions, they can cope with the pressure of multi-line operations.

The price of rotating players is generally not too expensive, and Pan Yi's "eyes in the sky" can often find high-quality and cheap players, so 40 million in funds is indeed enough.

After all, this is just Hamburg, not Bayern or any rich Premier League team.

It is not easy for an ordinary Bundesliga team to spend so much money.

In addition, there will definitely be players leaving next season, so there is no problem in raising a few more million here, so the total transfer budget may reach about 50 million euros.

I, Lao Pan, have never fought such a wealthy battle in my life!

Pan Yi was already happy and naturally did not bargain with Yahov anymore.

This is settled!

As for the new contract extension, Pan Yi still insisted on fulfilling the current contract first, and said, "The salary increase given to me is not as good as leaving it to the club to use it where it is more needed." So Yachov could only give up first.

He was also moved!

Where can I find a coach like Pan Yi who is not interested in personal gain but only cares about the club?

Moreover, Pan Yi has started planning games and personnel arrangements for Hamburg next season from now on. How could he suddenly leave the team?

He really considers Hamburg his home!

So Yahov put down the stone hanging on his chest first.

As for Pan Yi, he mainly does not want to be bound by a contract.

Let’s talk about the future in the future.

Who knows what will happen in more than a year?

He wants to carve out a niche in Hamburg first and then think about the future.

Of course, we still have to wait until the end of the season to determine exactly what kind of players to buy in the next transfer window.
To be continued...
