"Michel, Mario will definitely become the banner of Dortmund."
"I hope."
Zorc sighed, it was really not easy to negotiate with List. It should be said that he was too tired. Although Dortmund is a strong Bundesliga team, List is stronger than Dortmund. Dortmund has no advantage at all in front of List.
"Liester, Mario is only nineteen years old. At this age in our Dortmund history, Mario is the highest-paid player."
Zorc himself doesn’t know whether this contract is worthwhile or not. Because this time Dortmund signed a contract with Gotze worth 5 million euros before tax, and the total contract amount for four years reached 20 million.
EUR.
Gotze can get 3 million euros after tax. Although it is not as good as team captain Kyle's 3.5 million euros after tax, this salary is already very high for a 19-year-old young player.
Currently, Gotze's salary in Dortmund ranks second, only lower than captain Kyle.
But Gotze deserves this salary. Last season, the 18-year-old Gotze played more than 30 games, scoring seven goals and an astonishing 16 assists. Among the current talented players in European football
, only Gotze has performed so well at the age of eighteen. And Gotze, who has become more and more mature this season, has become a core player of Dortmund. He has scored more than ten goals and assists in half a season. Only ten
The nine-year-old Gotze is known as Germany's "Messi" and his market price has exceeded 30 million euros.
Many wealthy clubs wanted to bring him in. In order to keep Gotze, Dortmund made a lot of concessions and gave Gotze a high salary of 5 million euros before tax. For Dortmund, this is a truly high salary.
"Michel, not much, not much at all. Mario will give Dortmund more in return."
Riester is also very satisfied with this contract. In addition to the fixed salary, Gotze's other bonus income is also very high. If Dortmund can win the Bundesliga championship this season, Gotze will rely on winning bonuses and championship bonuses, plus
With goal bonuses and assist bonuses, there is no problem in earning more than 4 million euros.
Not only that, Riester also has a commercial contract with Dortmund. Because Dortmund will soon change sponsors, Dortmund's main sponsor will become Puma.
Gotze and Reus are the two stars that Puma has focused on building. Therefore, Rist asked Dortmund to share Puma's sponsorship fee and Puma jersey sales revenue. He should also give Gotze a share. Because Puma's sponsorship fee for Dortmund
It's not high, and the income from jersey sales is average, so the income from this part is not high. But that part can reach about three to four hundred thousand euros.
This is the same contract as Messi. Messi’s current contract with Barcelona is like this. Barcelona is not Dortmund, and Messi is not Gotze. Messi’s annual income based on this part of the share is more than 3 million euros.
Sometimes it is not impossible to exceed five million. This is the gap.
"Liester, you know what? What I'm most worried about is liquidated damages."
When Zorc said this, he looked straight at Lister. He wanted to see the expression on Lister's face, but Lister's expression did not change at all.
Who is Riester? He has been an agent in China for so many years, and then has been in the world of football for almost 20 years. After so many years, even Shitou has become enlightened, let alone
It's Lister. With all these experiences, how can anyone see what Lister is?
So he smiled and said: "Mario, 40 million euros. This is already a safety line."
The liquidated damages in Gotze's contract are 40 million euros. This is Gotze's annual income estimated by Lister based on Gotze's after-tax income, bonus income, and other contract income with the club. Lister is still
He did not break his own rules and designed liquidated damages based on the income the players received from the club.
But this time Riester gave in. Originally, based on Gotze's salary, Riester proposed setting up a liquidated damages of 30 million euros. But Zorc refused to do it and spent a long time with Riester. Because the liquidated damages were three hundred million euros.
Ten million euros, I don’t know how many wealthy families would directly take action. Therefore, in the end, the income from various aspects turned into a liquidated damages of 40 million euros.
But List is no joke. After many negotiations, List agreed to increase the liquidated damages in the contract. But List also had other conditions in the contract, that is, once a club poached Gotze with liquidated damages, then
Ten percent of the transfer fee must be paid to Gotze. Moreover, the player's liquidated damages are decreasing year by year.
This is not because Riester is bullying Dortmund, but it is the same for player contracts. The liquidated damages will slowly decrease as the contract period decreases. For example, when there are four years left, it is 40 million euros, and when there are three years left, it is 40 million euros.
It will become 37-8 million euros in the next two years, 34-5 million euros in the remaining two years, and 30 million euros in the last year.
This is not just Gotze, but also Messi. Messi has just signed a new contract with Barcelona, and his annual salary after tax has reached 15 million euros. The liquidated damages are also 150 million, but
If the contract is delayed until the last year, the liquidated damages will only be 100 million.
"Liester, stop telling jokes."
Zorc shook his head and said: "Look at the current situation in the European football transfer market. How many players with more than 60 million euros have been released in recent years, and even more players with more than 50 million euros. Forty million euros.
There are countless above. I am not at all worried about this small amount of liquidated damages."
"Michelle, don't worry."
Lister smiled and said to Zorc: "In all aspects of my cooperation with Dortmund, I will not do that kind of thing. If Mario really wants to transfer, I will tell you in advance, and I will never lower the price.
After all, Mario and I also have our share of the transfer fee."
As long as Gotze transfers, Dortmund will pay 10% of the transfer fee back to Gotze. Of course, half of it belongs to Riester and half belongs to Gotze. This is Dortmund's reward. Riester will also receive from
The buyer gets his own commission, so List will not lower Gotze's transfer fee.
Historically, Gotze moved to Bayern. Gotze's agent followed Gotze and wanted the highest profit. But Riester is different. Riester will continue to cooperate with Dortmund in the future, so he will not do that kind of thing.
of.
"Then I will believe you."
"Of course. We will continue to cooperate."
…………
"My ace did not disappoint you."
After negotiating Gotze's salary with Dortmund, Liszt immediately negotiated Gotze's sponsorship contract with Puma. Gotze's performance this year has been so good that the sponsorship fee will also increase. It is already 2012, and Liszt is going to sign a contract with Puma this year.
Let Gotze's income exceed 10 million euros in one fell swoop. Let Gotze enter the top income ranks among world football players.
The negotiation went relatively smoothly this time. After all, Gotze is a player that Puma focuses on promoting, and Gotze's performance is indeed very good. Gotze finally signed a blockbuster contract with Puma, a four-year super contract worth tens of millions of euros.
A big contract. Although it is not as good as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, considering Gotze's age of 19, this is a sponsorship contract that can shock the European football world.
"yes."
Jochen Leitz is very satisfied with his decision to make Gotze and Reus the key representatives of Puma. Jochen Leitz is always very confident in himself and very satisfied with himself.
Of course, Jochen Leitz will always have the qualification to be proud. When he became the CEO of Puma, Puma was not well-known in the world. It was also in a stage of serious losses. The main reason was that it was losing money every year. It was said that it was losing money for eight consecutive years. Who
I don’t know when Puma went bankrupt.
But after Jochen Leitz became Puma CEO, he has led Puma to become the third largest brand after Nike and Adidas. Just last year, Puma's annual revenue exceeded 3 billion euros, reaching 3.5 billion.
Euro. Although it cannot be compared with Adidas's turnover of 13 billion euros, it has exceeded most other sports brands.
And this year's development trend is very good. According to Jochen Leitz, Puma's annual turnover will exceed 4 billion euros in just a few years. That is an amazing achievement.
"At most three years. I will make Mario and Marco have the highest income among German players."
In Riester's opinion, Gotze's talent is definitely higher than that of Reus. But conversely, Reus's appearance is better than Gotze's. In other words, Gotze can become a superstar with his talent. In the future
His achievements are limitless. Although Royce is not as talented as Gotze, his talent is still top-notch. With his handsome face, his business potential is also very great.
"I believe it."
"Jochen, I heard recently that you seem to be leaving Puma. Why is it difficult for the new boss to serve you?"
Riester has been cooperating with Puma for so many years. Puma employees from top to bottom know many people from top to middle management. Recently there is news from Puma that Jochen Leitz is leaving Puma.
Puma has just acquired a major shareholder, but this major shareholder was introduced personally by Jochen Leitz. And even if a major shareholder comes, he does not control the strength of Puma. He is just a relatively large shareholder among the many shareholders of Puma.
.In the current Puma, even the largest shareholder does not have the strength to fire Jochen Leitz. After all, Jochen Leitz has been with Puma for nearly 20 years, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
"No. I always feel that I don't have much room for performance in Puma. I feel a little tired."
"Puma shareholders must be crying."
Lister didn't say anything. Although Jochen Leitz is the CEO of Puma, he likes to play. He even has a pilot's license and likes to fly airplanes when he has nothing to do. Jochen Leitz may think that Puma is no longer good.
It's fun. But Puma's shareholders are definitely not willing to give up on Jochen Leitz, a great hero.
"The board of directors is trying to keep me here, but I'm ready to leave."
"Jochen, if you really leave Puma, come to me. Can the two of us cooperate?"
Riester admires Jochen Leitz very much. He is really the world's top CEO. He can bring Puma to such a height. Not many people can do it. And he is not yet fifty years old.
As the CEO of Puma, Jochen Leitz has a wide network of contacts in the sports world. He is also a real expert in promotion and sales. List now holds the image rights of so many players. If he can cooperate with Jochen Leitz
, that is really even more powerful than a tiger.
It’s not just about image rights. As players are now keen on developing their own personal brands, Lister also needs to be concerned about building player brands. Lister now has many good players, and he will be qualified to build his own brand in the future.
There are also many players. To build a brand, promote a brand, and operate a brand, Jochen Leitz is definitely the top figure.
Lister is willing to cooperate with Jochen Leitz, and the two of them will work together to set up a company that will specialize in managing the personal brands of these players. Although the turnover of these personal brands is not as good as that of Puma, there is no problem if the turnover is several hundred million.
.Maybe Jochen Leitz can achieve even more leap-forward development.
"Let's talk about it later. If I leave Puma, I hope to relax and unwind."
"It's really Puma's loss that you left." (To be continued...)
