Chapter 11 Lease Contract

Five million euros is not a small sum of money, and Lin Quan certainly cannot afford it out of his own pocket.

Guardiola can afford the money, but Lin Quan doesn't want to let Barcelona get it for free.

After all, Guardiola's wealth is not particularly substantial.

When Guardiola was just promoted from the Barcelona youth team in 2008, his salary was very low, less than 2 million euros.

He got the big contract after coaching Barcelona for two years and winning six championships.

In July 2010, Guardiola renewed his 1+1 contract with Barcelona, ​​and his annual salary increased fivefold to 10 million euros.

Thanks to this contract, he became the highest-paid head coach in European football, second only to Mourinho.

The contract was relatively short and did not allow him to accumulate much assets.

In the era when Guardiola played football, players' salaries were generally not high, and he was not the biggest star of Barcelona, ​​so he did not get much money.

Adding in his expenses over the years, including purchasing real estate, sending his children to school and so on, his current savings may be only around 20 million euros.

Taking out a quarter to buy out a youth training contract with only one year left is a loss no matter how you look at it.

So when Guardiola offered to help Lin Quan buy out his contract, Lin Quan flatly refused.

Lin Quan's contract only lasts for one year, and when his lease period expires, his contract will also expire.

By then he won't have to pay a penny, he will be a free man, so there is no need to spend this money.

Moreover, it was Enrique who was anxious to send him away, rather than him asking to leave on his own initiative.

In this case, he cannot spend the money out of his own pocket.

"Okay, so what do you have in mind?"

Guardiola saw that Lin Quan looked confident, so he asked.

"Enrique has probably promised Rosell that he would get rid of me, so I think I can use this to threaten him and force him to make concessions on the lease contract!"

Guardiola nodded. Since Rosell had spoken, if Enrique wanted to get promoted, he would definitely find ways to complete the task assigned by the club chairman.

The amount involved in a loan contract is generally not large. For young players of Lin Quan's age, the loan fee usually does not exceed 500,000 euros.

Some teams will even ask the team that holds ownership of the player to pay part or even all of the salary when leasing the player.

Werder Bremen is a declining team and its salary situation has not been ideal in recent years.

Therefore, Lin Quan wants to force Barcelona to make concessions on the loan contract in exchange for his playing time in Werder Bremen.

Since he went to the Bundesliga to level up, he certainly can't just sit on the bench and watch his teammates play.

He needs enough playing time, otherwise, he would rather not be loaned out and just play in the youth team.

Although the intensity of the Spanish Second Division games is not as high as that of the Bundesliga, at least there is still football to play in the youth team.

Of course, if an agreement can be reached, it would be better to loan him out, because as he is being targeted by the club, his future playing time in the youth team has become uncertain.

"Yes, you are very thoughtful. Young players do need more playing time to gain experience in major competitions."

"How about this, since I am still the head coach of Barcelona, ​​let me arrange your loan contract!"

Guardiola's contract with Barcelona will not expire until July, but he will leave the team after the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao on May 26, and the remaining work will be handed over to his successor.

Hearing that Guardiola was going to make a move, Lin Quan thought for a moment, shook his head, and rejected his good intention:

"I think it's better for you not to interfere!"

"Hmm? What's the reason?"

Guardiola was a little surprised. If he took action, he would definitely lean towards Lin Quan and help him get everything done.

I didn't expect that such an arrangement would be rejected.

This made him very confused.

"Because you are about to leave Barcelona, ​​if you arrange for me to be loaned out at this time, if the club leaks the details in the future, it is likely to cause controversy."

"Especially after I became famous in the Bundesliga and became a rising star in the football world, my contract just happened to expire. Barcelona would not be able to take me back by then. They would most likely use this loan contract to attack you, which would be very detrimental to your reputation!"

Guardiola couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Quan's words:

"It seems that you are very confident about your future in the Bundesliga. You have already begun to believe that you can become a new generation of star!"

"Of course, don't you see who I learned football from? That man is a Barcelona legend and the most sought-after head coach in today's football world!"

No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.

Guardiola was very pleased with Lin Quan's flattery, because some of the negative emotions brought by the club also disappeared at this moment.

"Haha, kid, I didn't have any outstanding achievements when I was a player. I only won one Champions League trophy and one European Cup Winners' Trophy."

Lin Quan curled his lips: He won two of the three major European tournaments. Is that not good enough?

Guardiola finally accepted Lin Quan's advice and did not interfere in the matter, pretending to know nothing about it.

He went to work as usual and studied his opponent's information as before.

Prepare for the last league opponent and the Copa del Rey final in a few weeks.

During this period, he even visited the youth team for work reasons. When Enrique was feeling uneasy, he greeted him normally as usual and did not mention Lin Quan or his loan at all, as if he was completely unaware of it.

This made Enrique feel relieved, but at the same time he was also puzzled: This kid didn't tell on anyone?

As for Lin Quan, after he arrived at the youth training team the next day, he went directly to find Enrique and Zubizarreta, the sports director in charge of transfers, to discuss the club's loan matters.

Zubizarreta is Rosell's confidant. He knows that Rosell wants to clean up the players who are closely related to Guardiola, so he is very positive about the loan of Lin Quan and is determined to show his loyalty in front of Rosell.

Enrique, on the other hand, was eager to get rid of this little ancestor as soon as possible, so without any nonsense, he took out the club's loan contract and handed it to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan took a rough look and found that Barcelona's loan fee to Werder Bremen was 300,000 euros a year, and his salary was paid by Werder Bremen. His fixed annual salary was the same as Barcelona's, which was 22,000 euros a year.

In addition, there are appearance fees, goal bonuses, assist bonuses, winning bonuses and appearance bonuses.

The amounts of these bonuses are not high, including an appearance fee of 200 euros, a goal bonus of 500 euros, an assist bonus of 200 euros, and a winning bonus of 500 euros. When the number of appearances reaches 20 and 30 games, rewards of 2,000 euros and 3,000 euros can be obtained respectively.

After all, it was a slave contract for the youth team, so Lin Quan didn't have high expectations for the bonus amount of the contract.

However, he thinks that the money should be paid by Barcelona, ​​at least the salary should be paid by Barcelona. After all, he is still a Barcelona player.

As for the rental fee or something, since Barcelona wants to send him away, they cannot ask Werder Bremen for the rental fee.

So Lin Quan stated his conditions.

"What? No rental fee? How is that possible!?"

When Subizareta heard Lin Quan's request, he immediately expressed his opposition.

Barcelona is not an ordinary team, they are a giant! Players from giant teams, even if they are from the youth team, cannot be exempted from rental fees!

Giving it to you as a player is giving you face, but you actually want to get it for free?

They have always been the ones who got things for free from others, so how could they be the ones who got things for free from others? Enrique was also a little embarrassed. Although he really wanted to send Lin Quan away.

But he also didn't want to disrupt the rules of the team's operations, and Zubizarreta had much more say in this matter than he, the coach of the youth team.

If the person sitting here was the head coach of the first team, Guardiola, then Zubizarreta would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous, because the head coach can completely decide whether a player stays or leaves.

So he also spoke up to persuade Lin Quan: "Lin, I think it's better not to waive the rent."

"Think about it, if you join Werder Bremen for free, they won't spend a penny and will just get a player for free, so they may not value you and may even doubt your ability. They may even wonder why Barcelona wants to send you away without even asking for a rental fee. This will definitely have a very negative impact on your playing in Werder Bremen!"

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Enrique tried to get the matter done as quickly as possible.

He continued, "We at Barcelona will not mistreat our players. I asked someone to redraft a lease contract and increase your bonus. If it's ok, just sign the contract!"

Lin Quan was very confused as to how much the other party could improve. Could there be much room for improvement with a bonus of several hundred Euros?

However, after taking a look at the numbers, Lin Quan was stunned. How eager was Enrique to send him away? (End of this chapter)
