The so-called renewal details are actually mainly about annual salary and portrait rights. Other matters have been negotiated on the first transfer.

Annual salary is of course the top priority. In competitive football, it is a youthful life. Most players still earn an annual salary. A few people can make a lot of money by managing their own finances, and a few people can make money by endorsing famous advertising. From another perspective, annual salary is also a symbol of status, so when discussing contracts, annual salary is the core content.

Chen Yu has now become one of the top stars in the world, and the money he earns is completely enough for him to spend his whole life. For him, an annual salary is more a symbol of his status and status. Therefore, he must not only be satisfied with himself, but also compare it horizontally with other people in the world football world. It cannot be said that he needs the highest salary in the world, but it cannot be lower than a star who is less powerful and famous than his own.

Currently, Chen Yu's annual salary is 6 million pounds, which is the world's top annual salary. However, there are many people with annual salary above Chen Yu, such as Barack and Ronaldo, who are above Chen Yu. After Chelsea captain Terry renewed his contract, his annual salary has become the world's number one, up to 7.3 million pounds.

Chen Yu’s goal now is very simple, which is to surpass Terry and become the highest salary in the world, which is also in line with Chen Yu’s status.

Although the World Footballer has not been selected yet, Chen Yu, who holds the double championship and the double best scorer, has a great chance of winning the championship. The world's number one must naturally be treated as the first person. Chen Yu, who has not had too high requirements for salary, also clearly stated this time that he would get the highest salary, and it doesn't have to be much higher. Even if it's one dollar higher than Terry, it's just a symbol of identity and status.

Liverpool was not too surprised that Chen Yu asked for an annual salary higher than Terry. When Terry announced his contract renewal with an annual salary of 7.3 million pounds, Liverpool bosses Gillette and Hicks felt that Chen Yu might challenge Terry's annual salary, so they discussed it in advance. Based on Chen Yu's ability and achievements, they basically agreed to give Chen Yu a salary similar to Terry, but in terms of portrait rights and jersey sharing, Liverpool clubs do not want to give in.

Fame is at the level of Chen Yu, and the annual salary is only part of the income. The portrait rights and jersey share in their total income will basically exceed one-half, or even more than two-thirds. Now Chen Yu has such an outstanding record and outstanding performance, it is unlikely not to give the world the highest salary, but with reputation, Liverpool does not want to make more concessions in actual interests.

Gillette and Hicks cannot compare with Abramovich in terms of wealth. They all rely on loans to acquire Liverpool. There is still a lot of debt pressure. They buy Liverpool as a bargaining chip to get more loans, making Liverpool an old hen that lays golden eggs for him, rather than investing in it like Abramovich. This attitude also determines that they will not make too much concessions in portrait rights and jersey sharing.

Chen Yu's original contract renewal requirements were not very high. An annual salary of 70 million pounds was enough to sign the contract. However, there were too many clubs chasing Chen Yu during this period. Whether it was to raise the price or really want to poach Chen Yu with money, the annual salary offered to Chen Yu was very terrifying. Although it was not as exaggerated as the media said that 15 million euros, the annual salary of 12 million euros was offered by a club.

In this way, Chen Yu and Zhang Shubin's appetite has undoubtedly been raised, because annual salary may affect the team's salary structure, so Chen Yu and Zhang Shubin hope to get some supplements in portrait rights and jersey sales.

Rick Barry and Zhang Shubin both had plans in their minds. When they started to negotiate annual salary, they went smoothly. Zhang Shubin proposed to ask for 8 million pounds, which was 2 million pounds higher than Chen Yu's original contract. Rick Barry said it was too high because Gerald only had 6 million pounds after his salary increase. Chen Yu was the best for seven million pounds. Of course, Zhang Shubin disagreed. After the two sides simply bargained, the annual salary was set at 7.5 million pounds, which exceeded Chelsea captain Terry's 200,000 euros, becoming the world's highest salary.

Although this is still a bit different from Zhang Shubin's annual salary of 8 million pounds, Chen Yu's goal is the highest annual salary in the world. As for the specific amount, Chen Yu doesn't care so much. 7.5 million pounds is also very good, exceeding 10 million euros, which is not much different from Chen Yu's goal. Of course, there is no need to conflict with the club again for those hundreds of thousands of pounds.

However, Liverpool did not make any concessions in terms of portrait rights and jersey division.

Rick Barry said sincerely: "Zhang, don't talk about portrait rights and jersey sharing. The club's original plan was to raise Chen Yu's salary and reduce the jersey sharing. It would be nice if you don't reduce it. You can't get too much into the ruler."

Zhang Shubin took the initiative, but he was not as embarrassed as Chen Yu was injured. He sat leisurely on the sofa and said with a smile: "Barry, after the salary increase, then divide the jerseys and remove them. What's the difference between this and not increasing? Do you think I haven't learned math?"

Rick Barry hurriedly said: "It's not this, it's not this. The salary increase will definitely be higher than the income shared by the jersey."

Zhang Shubin said: "How much can it increase? Barry, even if you don't ask about the offer Chelsea gave Chen Yu, you should still read the newspapers and TV. Could it be that Chen Yu must be hung on the tree of Liverpool?"

Rick Barry smiled bitterly: "No, no, Zhang, you can't compete with Liverpool and Chelsea. No one can compare with Chelsea. According to you, the best players in the world should go to Chelsea. In fact, Kaka is still in Milan, Ronaldinho is still in Barcelona, ​​and Gerrard is still in Liverpool. At Chen Yu's level, money is not the most important thing. Besides, the salary Liverpool offered to Chen Yu is not much lower."

Zhang Shubin said: "Money is not the most important thing, but money is the foundation. Without this foundation, there is no need to talk about anything else. Do you think so? Dear Barry, Chelsea and Real Madrid can give Chen Yu much more than Liverpool, and we are still willing to sit here and talk with Liverpool. What do you think is because of it, dear Barry."

Barry smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Zhang, you and Chen are both emotional people, so I would like to ask you to consider the difficulties of the club. I still want to reiterate that Liverpool is not Chelsea, and there is no such strong capital. If you want too much, it will cause the club to be in trouble. The boss means that it is difficult to give you the same treatment as Chelsea now. Once he recovers, he will give you a big salary increase."

Zhang Shubin laughed and said, "Did Mr. Gillette say this or Mr. Hicks say this? I think it's Mr. Gillette. Is he going to coax us like children? Barry, do you know how old Chen Yu is now?"

Barry could only smile bitterly again, because he knew Chen Yu's age very well, 29 years old. Such an age is already at the end of his career in competitive football, and it is difficult to increase his salary and get a big contract.

Zhang Shubin said: "The reason why I can still sit here to negotiate with you is because at this age, Chen Yu hopes to play in Liverpool until he retires. As long as the club gives a suitable salary and a long-term contract. After all, Chen Yu has lived a very comfortable life in this season at Liverpool, so he doesn't want to change places casually. But if the conditions given by Liverpool are too poor, I think we will consider other teams."

Barry sighed: "Chen is a good man with affection and righteousness, but due to Liverpool's funds, it is difficult for us to come up with very good conditions to renew our contract with Chen. All we have is sincerity, and I hope Chen can accept it."

Zhang Shubin said: "Sincerity is not what you say, it must be what we can feel. Do you think it is, Barry, we don't feel the sincerity of Liverpool now. All we feel is Liverpool's coldness and harshness."

Barry said: "Is it true that you fully accept your renewal conditions? I think sincerity means doing your best, and now Liverpool has done its best."

Zhang Shubin said: "Are we offering high conditions? 50% of the portrait rights and 30% of the jersey sales revenue, which is something that Florence can afford to Chen Yu. Liverpool's strength and heritage will not be inferior to Florence."

Barry pondered for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Zhang, to be honest, Liverpool's current financial situation is really not as good as Fiorentina. Gillette and Hicks are doing a lot of business and there are also many teams, but their debt situation is not optimistic. It is difficult for them to spend much money to support the team. Many times they still need to use the team's income to pay off their debts. I hope you can understand."

Zhang Shubin shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's really unexpected that the club's economic situation has deteriorated to this point, but we can't bear this burden. If the club's finances are really too big, I suggest you might as well send Chen Yu to transfer. I guess you can sell it for more than 80 million now, and you will earn about 50 million."

Barry was startled and said, "What? What do you mean? Zhang and Chen Yu must not be put in the transfer market. Now Chen Yu is Liverpool's top brand and a banner. If he sells him, the fans will not agree. Liverpool has been silent for so many years and needs more results to restore our status and fame in the world football world."

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "I understand your plans now. I don't want to spend money and want results. You treat others as fools. How much has Chelsea spent? Now they are just two league champions, and Liverpool spends how much money. Now they are one league champion and one Champions League champion. In this case, it is really disappointing that the club is still so stingy."

Barry was a little embarrassed by what Zhang Shubin said, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay, Zhang, I'll discuss with Mr. Gillette and Mr. Hicks when I go back, but don't have too much hope. Liverpool is not Chelsea."

Zhang Shubin smiled slightly and said, "I can wait, but I just hope you don't delay too much. If you delay for another month, I can't guarantee what will happen later."
