Saying goodbye to Ambassador Qiu, translator Hu Yue and others, Wang Ai, Yan Zhu, Zhao Dan and accompanying Constance walked through the streets of Madrid at night. Wang Ai did not speak, and Constance turned to look at Wang Ai.
Ai didn't say anything either, while Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan followed behind and had nothing to say.
This summer is not only important to Wang Ai, but also to the other three people. Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan did not say that they would definitely follow Wang Ai to live in the UK. After all, it is a strange country. And Constance
Ever since I met Wang Ai three years ago and took the initiative to approach Wang Ai two years ago, the trajectory of life and destiny has highly overlapped with Wang Ai's.
This summer, Wang Ai will leave Spain, while Constance will stay for another year to complete her studies, and by the way help Leonie supervise Chen Tao and Dai Qinhua's low-level team Atlético de Jerez. After graduation next year, the two will
It has been agreed that she will continue to serve as Wang Ai's assistant and go to London to join Wang Ai.
I just don’t know if Wang Ai, who has been living with Xu Qinglian in London for a year at that time and is an adult, still needs her services.
Wang Ai walked on the streets of Madrid, where the lights were on, towards his hotel, which was not far anyway.
In fact, compared to the enthusiastic Spaniards, Wang Ai is not too fond of England. Of course, it may be that he has been too popular in Deportivo in the past two years. Therefore, even though he has been mentally building up for a long time, on this night of packing his bags,
, there is still a trace of reluctance in my heart.
He missed Riazor, the house by the sea, the simple Depor fans, and even the girl in the roadside supermarket who gave him a small gift.
Tomorrow, the negotiations will be completely concluded, and then he will go to Stamford Bridge with Peter Kenyon to hold a press conference, and the Spanish national television will definitely report the signing of the transfer contract to the whole of Spain. And the day after tomorrow,
Major newspapers in Spain will spread the news widely. How will the Depor fans react when they hear the news? Will someone knock on the door of their house with a glimmer of hope?
Thinking of this, Wang Ai suddenly had the urge to return to La Coruna immediately. However, under the impulse, Wang Ai was a little confused. He didn't know what he could do when he returned to La Coruna, the city of glass.
Alas, forget it!
Wang Ai reached out to hail a taxi, and the group of four returned to the hotel. In the hotel gym, Wang Ai exhausted his last bit of energy before returning to the room to sleep, and had no intention of asking about the specific negotiation content.
But this night, the more I thought about it, the more I fell into a dream: the Millennium Lighthouse, the beach of Laco, Plaza Maria Pita, the cheers of Riazor, the trophies in front of the city hall, the bars, and the carnival on the streets.
The next morning, the negotiations continued. After Leonie visited the scene in person, the final closing negotiations also ended.
Deportivo and Chelsea completed Wang Ai's transfer contract with the following terms.
First, Wang Ai’s transfer fee is 29 million euros; second, Wang Ai’s weekly salary at Chelsea is 45,000 pounds before tax, totaling 2.4 million pounds for the whole year. Third, Wang Ai’s image rights are half with the club, but they are limited to his body.
Wear the Chelsea uniform and play for the club, excluding the national team period. Fourth, Chelsea's sponsor is Nike, and Wang Ai's sponsor is Adidas. The two parties agreed that Wang Ai will wear Nike sneakers while he is in the club, and will wear Nike sneakers during the national team period.
Wear Adidas sneakers.
The transfer fee of 1 million euros less than the original 30 million euros was Wang Ai's signing fee.
Judging from the salary situation, after deducting 40% income tax, Wang Ai's weekly salary after tax is 27,000 pounds, and his annual salary is 1.44 million pounds, which is almost equivalent to 1.58 million euros. This income is higher than Wang Ai's pre-tax salary of 750,000 euros at Deportivo.
, that is, 690,000 pounds, a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds after tax, more than tripled. If the personal income tax in the UK was not twice as high as in Spain, the salary at Chelsea would have more than tripled.
But this salary is still low in the current Chelsea, because after winning the Premier League championship and the League Cup last season, the players in the team are asking for a salary increase from the boss Abramovich, who is not short of money.
Although judging from the fluctuations in salary increases, the European Champions Cup champion is the most fierce and cruel, and now that Chelsea is on the rise and united, it is difficult for players to make unreasonable demands, but the general salary of the team has been
It has risen to more than 50,000 pounds. For example, captain Terry and Lampard are both close to 70,000 pounds. Drogba, Joe Cole, Carvalho, and Cech are all around 60,000 pounds. In comparison, they are almost the same as Wang Ai.
The top ones are Essien, Makelele, Ferreira, Gallas and Robben. Wang Ai even has more players than Robben.
Of course, only Peter Kenyon and the British tax department know the exact amount. The data claimed to the outside world are often false because contracts are often complicated, including salary, bonus, signing fee, Hiroshima endorsement share ratio, etc.
Negotiable conditions, so the salary can be high or low.
But there is a rough estimate, which mainly depends on the performance on the court, the satisfaction of the owner and head coach, popularity, commercial value, etc.
From this point of view, Wang Ai's salary cannot reach his level. For example, Lampard scored 13 goals for Chelsea in the Premier League last season, which is far inferior to Wang Ai's 18 goals in La Liga. Drogba only scored 13 goals in the Premier League last season.
There are only 10 goals, and Robben is even worse with only 5 goals. This is actually the common data for Premier League forwards, and it must be said that it is the data of first-class stars. As for Henry, who scored 25 goals, he is in the minority.
Like Ronaldo, he is rare.
It is of course unreasonable for the Champions League Silver Boots and Champions League Golden Boots to only receive such a small salary when they come to Chelsea. The main reason is that the current performance of the club is good and the staffing is good. They are not very anxious to introduce Wang Ai, but Abramovich hopes to become famous in the Premier League through Chelsea.
The appeal for protection is inseparable from the European Champions Cup title.
To a certain extent, Abramovich is superstitious about Wang Ai's European war strength. Spending 29 million euros bought the possibility of the European Champions League. In addition, Schlapner is not as powerful as Mendes and is definitely weaker in negotiations, but
Wang Ai is not without gains. The five-year contract stipulates that the club shall not obstruct Wang Ai from playing for the country in any way. As long as Wang Ai wants to participate in national competitions, the club will allow it.
For this reason, Chelsea sold substitute forward Carlton Cole, who had been on loan for two consecutive seasons. His best season was 0203, when he scored 3 goals in 13 appearances. His scoring efficiency was far behind that of Wang Ai.
So he was given up. His No. 12 jersey remained. After seeking Wang Ai's opinion, Peter came forward to persuade Galas to make a jersey exchange.
Defender Gallas wore the No. 12 jersey, while new substitute forward Wang Ai continued to wear the No. 13, his exclusive number.
On the evening of June 12, the two parties reached an agreement. On the morning of June 13, Wang Ai left Leonie to go to Deportivo to complete the complicated matters such as the shareholding contract with Deportivo. He took Schlapner with him in Yan Zhu and
Accompanied by Zhao Dan, he flew to England with Peter Kenyon.
