Chapter 10 Contract Issues

When I got home, I happened to see Guardiola playing football in the yard.

Guardiola became a coach after retiring as a professional player. He occasionally plays football to relax.

So in the yard behind their house, there is a large lawn and a goal, which is the place where the father and son play football.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Guardiola was a little surprised to see Lin Quan returning home at this time.

He has coached Barcelona's youth team and is very familiar with the training schedule of the youth team.

And if he remembered correctly, the youth team had a very important game to play in a few days, so they should be stepping up their training at this time.

Based on his understanding of Lin Quan, he didn't seem like someone who would skip classes without reason.

Therefore, there must be something fishy going on with this matter.

"When people leave, the tea gets cold!"

Lin Quan took off his coat, ran to the grass and started practicing with Guardiola.

Guardiola asked as he controlled the ball: "What are the arrangements at the club?"

Although he tried his best to keep his tone calm, Lin Quan still heard anger in his voice.

"They wanted to loan me out."

"Where are you going?"

"Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga!"

Guardiola was silent for a while. When Lin Quan expressed to him that he wanted to leave Barcelona, ​​he had already started to use his connections to find a suitable team for him to train.

Unexpectedly, the club acted so quickly. Before he even contacted the next club, Barcelona was already impatient to make a move.

"Bundesliga..."

Guardiola pondered. He had never played in the Bundesliga, but he had played against Bundesliga teams many times and had a certain understanding of the Bundesliga.

Compared to other leagues, the Bundesliga is a good place to go.

They have a lot of young players, not only young talents from European countries, but also many young players from other continents playing here.

This is because compared with other leagues, the Bundesliga has looser restrictions on non-European players.

They do not limit the number of non-European players that can be registered, which makes young players from other countries outside the EU member states like to use the Bundesliga as a springboard when landing in the top five leagues.

For example, many young players from Japan and South Korea started their overseas careers in the Bundesliga.

In the past, many Chinese players played in the Bundesliga. However, with the decline in the level of the Chinese national football team and the rise of the Chinese Super League's money-driven football bubble, the number of players capable of meeting the standards for studying abroad has dropped significantly.

Even if there are a few who can meet the requirements to study abroad, they prefer to stay in the country and get big contracts.

After all, you don’t have to travel far to a place where you are unfamiliar with and start all over again. You can get a very high salary by playing football at home, so everyone will naturally choose the latter.

But for players from other non-European countries, they do not have such good conditions, so they go to the Bundesliga to play and accumulate experience in the top five leagues.

While improving your own strength and waiting for the right time, once you become famous, you can consider transferring to other leagues to get a big contract.

Therefore, there are a lot of young players in the Bundesliga, and the average age of players in the entire league is the lowest among the five major leagues, at just under 25 years old.

Thanks to the influx of a large number of young players, some Bundesliga teams have started to engage in shady business.

They buy young players with potential at low prices, use their own country's leagues and cup competitions to train them, and when the players become famous, they sell them to top teams in leagues like the Premier League and La Liga at high prices, making a fortune from it.

Among them, the more famous one is the Yellow Bee Dortmund.

Although Lin Quan did not go to Dortmund, all the big clubs like to buy players from the Bundesliga.

As long as he performs well in Werder Bremen, he will be noticed by scouts from the top five leagues.

It won't be difficult to transfer from Werder Bremen at that time. Thinking of this, Guardiola asked: "How long is left on your contract with the club?"

The current problem is not just the loan issue, but also the contract with Barcelona.

He could see that Lin Quan was very dissatisfied with the club's behavior of abandoning the donkey after it had served its purpose.

Although he didn't say a bad word about the club, it can be seen from his cold attitude that he no longer has any feelings for Barcelona.

In this case, even if he makes it in Werder Bremen, he probably won't want to return to Barcelona.

However, this matter was not something he could decide on his own.

As long as he is still within the contract period, Barcelona can recall him after the loan contract ends.

"There is still one year left on the contract. Didn't you say before that you were going to take a break for a while? That's why I didn't renew my contract with the club!"

Lin Quan currently has a youth training contract, which he signed with Barcelona when he was 13 years old. The contract is for four years and the annual salary is 22,000 euros.

Originally, when he turned 15 last year, he could have signed a professional contract with Barcelona.

However, for those players whose strength is not particularly outstanding, Barcelona will not offer them a professional contract immediately. Instead, they will choose to continue observing for a period of time and wait until they are sure that the other party can meet their requirements or can be sold for cash before signing a professional contract with them.

According to the original plan, if Lin Quan did not leave this year, Barcelona should have renewed his contract. Otherwise, if they wait until next year to renew the contract, he might become a free agent and be abducted by other teams.

But now, after Guardiola resigned, Barcelona made it clear that they did not want to renew his contract, and Lin Quan himself had no intention of renewing it.

Therefore, he only has one year left on his contract.

"How much is the penalty for breach of contract?"

Guardiola also knows that the contract is the crux of the problem. If the penalty for breach of contract is not large, he can buy it out with his own money.

In that case, there will be no restrictions from Barcelona.

"Same as Messi, 5 million euros!"

Lin Quan looked at Guardiola innocently. The latter patted his bald head. He suddenly remembered that he was the one who set the penalty for breach of contract in this contract.

"Haha, I had high expectations for you, so I set the same penalty clause as Messi!"

The penalty for Messi's contract in the youth team was 5 million euros. Even so, Barcelona was still afraid that he would be abducted. After he turned 16, they immediately offered him a nine-year professional contract, and then used Messi for seven or eight years at an extremely low salary!

Barcelona really knows how to get something for free!
