Chapter 321 The Highest Salary Contract in the Team!

The entire Liverpool team took a flight from Porto Airport in the Iberian Peninsula to Liverpool Lennon International Airport the next day. Although the team will face the fifth round of the FA Cup away from home four days later, head coach Clowe Pu was in a very good mood and gave the players two days off.

When most Liverpool players chose to relax and recover, Li Qing came to the Liverpool office building with his agent Mendes.

According to the relevant laws of Great Britain, Li Qing, who is over 17 years old, can sign an adult team contract with Liverpool, which is a real professional contract.

Liverpool’s current highest-paid player is Dutch international Virgil van Dijk, who was introduced in a record time last summer. His weekly salary is 150,000 pounds, which translates into an annual salary of 7.8 million pounds before tax, followed by veterans Milner, Lallana and Firmino. and Henderson, with weekly wages of 120,000 pounds, 110,000 pounds and 100,000 pounds respectively.

The weekly wages of Mane and Salah are both 90,000 pounds, and these are disclosed by authoritative media and are highly reliable.

Li Qing saw that his weekly salary was twice that of Van Dijk, the highest-paid player in the team!

Three hundred thousand pounds!

That’s £15.6 million a year!

Converted to euros at the current exchange rate, that is 18.3 million euros, which is 300,000 euros more than Mbappe, who was loaned to Paris Saint-Germain from Monaco last summer.

Guaranteed income!

Perhaps the weekly salary of 300,000 pounds is not as good as Sanchez, who moved to Manchester United in the winter, but he can tie for second place with Harry Kane and Ozil, and he is still young and has a lot of room for improvement in the future.

In fact, Liverpool is very sincere in offering a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds. You must know that most players' weekly salary is in the single digits of pounds now, which means that Li Qing's weekly salary of 300,000 pounds has begun to affect the team's salary balance.

However, Li Qing averages two goals per game, which can reduce his teammates' dissatisfaction with his weekly salary.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, the contract is naturally accompanied by a relevant confidentiality agreement.

The weekly salary of 300,000 pounds is not all Li Qing's income. Indispensable are appearance fees, honorary bonuses and goal bonuses.

It was just revealed that Sanchez's appearance fee for swapping clubs with Mkhitaryan was 75,000 pounds. Li Qing did not suffer in this regard, it was also 75,000 pounds. This means that Li Qing earned an additional 75,000 pounds for every game he played for Liverpool. .

Honorary bonuses are divided into team honors and individual honors. The specific bonus amounts are completely copied from the supplementary agreement signed last summer. The league champion will receive 500,000 pounds, the Champions League winner will receive 1 million pounds, the FA Cup winner will receive 200,000 pounds, and the League Cup winner will receive 100,000 pounds. Community Shield £50,000.

Since Liverpool is likely to win the Champions League this season, as well as the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup at the end of the year, the bonus agreement is an additional 50,000 pounds for the European Super Cup and 100,000 pounds for the Club World Cup winner, which adds up to a total of 200 million pounds.

The arrangements are clear.

It is not difficult to see that Mendes is a practical agent.

The individual honor bonus terms are Premier League top scorer, Premier League best player, UEFA Champions League top scorer, UEFA Champions League best player, European Golden Boy Award, European Golden Ball Award and World Footballer, etc...

That adds up to another £1 million.

As for the goal bonus and assist bonus, there have been some changes compared to the goal bonus signed last year. In the past, the specific amount of the bonus was not activated until a certain number of goals was reached. Now the price is clearly marked, and each goal scored is 100,000 pounds. , assisting a goal is 25,000.

Under the goal bonus clause, there are also quite sincere additional bonuses. For example, if Li Qing scores 50 goals in each calendar year, he will receive an additional income of 1 million pounds, and if he scores more than 100 goals, he will receive an additional 2 million pounds. If he scores more than 100 goals on behalf of Liverpool in one year, he will receive an additional bonus of 3 million pounds.

Li Qing was reading the terms of the contract while calculating the maximum annual income.

With a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds, the annual income is 15.6 million pounds. If he plays about 60 games for Liverpool in a season, the appearance fee is 4.5 million pounds. All team honors are 2 million pounds, and individual honors are 1 million pounds.

Scoring one goal is worth 100,000 pounds. For example, if you score 100 goals in a season, the total is 10 million pounds. Including the additional bonus of 3 million pounds triggered, the total is 13 million pounds.

One assist is 25,000 pounds, and about 30 assists in a season is 750,000 pounds.

15.6 million pounds + 4.6 million pounds + 2 million pounds + 1 million pounds + 13 million pounds + 750,000 pounds = 36.95 million pounds!

Calculated based on the 45% tax rate of the Premier League, you will get 20.3255 million pounds!

The current exchange rate between pounds and Chinese coins is 1:8.84, and the annual salary is infinitely close to 180 million Chinese coins!

It’s really not that I don’t know, I’m shocked when I calculate it!

The contract terms are very comprehensive and follow the so-called loyalty bonus clause. You can get a bonus of 7 million pounds in June 2019, 10 million pounds in June 2020, and 15 million pounds in June 2021...

Finally, the must-have is the sky-high signing fee.

Compared with the 5 million pounds last summer, this time it has tripled, that is, 10 million pounds!

All of Li Qing's income is written in the standardized professional contract, so... the rights and interests of Liverpool Club must be protected.

500 million pounds in breach of contract!

He is very happy playing in Liverpool, the team atmosphere is good, and the head coach Klopp takes good care of him. Li Qing naturally has no intention of leaving. When he leaves, he must give the home team a decent fee. Moreover, Neymar has a transfer fee of 222 million euros, so he... must at least double it, right?

500 million pounds, no problem.

At the end of the contract, there is a complex secondary income guarantee, but this is not specially marked by the Liverpool Club, but is attached as an attachment in accordance with the FIFA joint mechanism compensation clause.

If a professional player transfers before the expiration of the contract, any club that educates or trains him can receive a certain proportion of compensation, which is detailed to two age groups, namely 12 to 15 years old and 16 to 23 years old.

The training club where the players are from 12 to 15 years old can get 0.25% of the transfer fee per year, and the club where the players are from 16 to 23 years old can get 0.5% of the transfer fee per year.

Back to the point, the contract period is 6 years, ending in June 2024.

In addition, there is an opportunity to adjust the treatment based on performance every season.

After reading the 6-page professional contract, Li Qing looked at Mendes and saw him nod in agreement. He signed his name in the contract in triplicate without hesitation.

From today on, he is a real professional player!

At the same time, he is also the highest-paid football player under 20 years old in the world.

Although his current income is not as high as that of Ronaldo and Messi, Li Qing is confident that his income will definitely surpass that of Messi and Ronaldo as he gets older and his performance remains stable.

The key is that the other major advertising contract for the player's income has not been signed yet. By then... the income will definitely be higher!
