Vol 5 Chapter 5: Lewandowski's big problem

Robert Lewandowski moved to Dortmund from the Polish powerhouse Poznan Lech in the summer of 2o1o. At that time, the transfer fee was 4.75 million euros. At that time, the value was in the summer of Dortmund. The most money spent on the transfer market. Δ』』』E Novel W『W. ㄟ 1XIAOSHUO. COM

But in the Bundesliga transfer market that summer, that little money was not enough.

The Bundesliga summer transfer king of that year belonged to the Brazilian midfielder Diego of Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg spent 15 million euros to bring Diego from Juventus to Germany.

The second-highest transfer in value was Huntelaar purchased by Schalke o4 from AC Milan, and the Dutch shooter spent 14 million euros in Magath.

Lewandowski, who came to Dortmund with a non-trivial transfer fee, is like his worth, and he is not a blockbuster, although he was a Golden Boot shooter in the Polish First Division before coming to Dortmund. In twenty-eight league games, he scored eighteen goals.

In the competition with Barrios and Mark Wagner, he was in the disadvantage.

But the goddess of luck finally favored the Polish high center.

Barrios was squeezed out of the main position by the excellent Mark, but then when Mark's status was prosperous, he suffered serious injuries and gave Lewandowski the opportunity to take the lead.

The 2o11-2o12 season has just begun. Last season's lead shooter Mark Wagner was seriously injured while participating in the national team game and was reimbursed for the season. Fate made a joke on Mark, and then pushed Lewandowski to the center of the stage.

And Lewandowski also firmly grasped this opportunity, with one goal after another became Klopp's most trusted striker. The 2o11-2o12 season was a season when Lewandowski officially became the main striker of Dortmund. In this season, Lewandowski played 34 times in the league, scoring 22 goals and eight assists. . He played six times in the German Cup and scored seven goals. Especially in the final of the German Cup, facing the powerful Bayern Munich, he completed a hat trick and helped Dortmund to win Bayern Munich 5:2 and won the German Cup trophy .

His outstanding performance makes people almost forget Mark Wagner who missed a season due to injury.

When Lewandowski moved to Dortmund, his annual salary was 1.5 million euros before tax. When Dortmund defended the league title in the 2o11-2o12 season, this salary was completely incompatible with Lewandowski's ability.

In fact, as early as the 2o11-2o12 season, the Dortmund club had already begun to renew the contract with Lewandowski. After Mark was seriously injured, Lewandowski became the only rely on Dortmund's front line. Of course Dortmund must find a way Renew Lewandowski's contract.

Lewandowski also felt that the salary of 1.5 million euros was too small, hoping to get more salary.

Since both parties have the need to renew the contract and have the same purpose, as long as they work hard, I believe they can reach an agreement.

But the result was counterproductive.

The Dortmund club hopes to renew the contract with Lewandowski until 2o17, and provides a new contract.

But Lewandowski was not satisfied with the conditions proposed by the club. He hopes to get an annual salary of three million euros, and this number is the same as the team captain Kyle.

Lewandowski's request was rejected by the Dortmund club. They were unwilling to give Lewandowski an annual salary of three million euros. They thought Lewandowski was not worth the price.

And Lewandowski’s agent publicly complained to the media about Dortmund’s approach, which made Dortmund furious, and the club ceo Vack said this: “Yes, the club has provided players with a renewal. The offer, but the broker Kuhalsky is not satisfied. But I still want to tell him that it is not a good practice to complain publicly to the outside world during the contract renewal process."

The contract renewal negotiations between the two parties thus reached a deadlock.

At that time, Dortmund apparently did not take Lewandowski too seriously. Their renewal work focused on Goetze and Zhou Yi.

Lewandowski’s agent secured a verbal commitment to Dortmund for Lewandowski — since the two parties could not renew the contract, the Dortmund club should allow Lewandowski to find a new owner on his own, as long as there are The team's offer reached or exceeded 25 million euros, so Dortmund should allow Lewandowski to leave.

Since the contract between Lewandowski and Dortmund expired in the summer of 2o14, Lewandowski should be allowed to leave Dortmund in the summer of 2o13.

This summer.

At that time, even the 2o11-2o12 season was not over yet. How could the top team of Dortmund think so much?

Perhaps they also don’t think they can have a team pay a transfer fee of 25 million euros for Lewandowski. It is important to know that as the core player of Dortmund, Sahin only transferred 10 million euros to Real Madrid. What.

So the senior executives of the Dortmund club agreed so, and made an oral commitment.

Then Lewandowski's agent began to work hard for Lewandowski's new club, trying to make Lewandowski leave Dortmund.

Although Lewandowski's performance in the new season continues to be excellent, making Dortmund seniors want to regret it, but he still has to admit what he said, so Dortmund has no other moves. Anyway, they feel that if there are clubs willing to pay 25 million to buy Lewandowski, they may not be able to sell.

Twenty-five million dollars is still a huge sum for Dortmund, a child who can’t wait to break in half—they digged Royce from Mönchengladbach for 17.5 million euros It is the biggest transfer cost since the club rebuilding in 2oo5.

And Lewandowski's agent is indeed capable. They finally found a new owner willing to pay out 25 million euros for Bayer Munich.

Lewandowski’s agent Kuhals publicly announced to the Polish media: “I can assure you that Lewandowski will play for a larger club next season. I hope the two clubs will be able to Eventually reached an agreement."

Kuhalski's partner Bartel also made it clear: "We have accepted an invitation from another club, and Lewandowski is preparing to transfer this summer."

Although neither agent stated directly, everyone knew that their next home was Bayern Munich.

According to the "Photo" report, Lewandowski's agent has reached an agreement with the Bayern Munich club, the two sides will sign a contract for four years.

In the face of Lewandowski's agent's position and the content of the "Photo", Dortmund Club did not respond, and everything seems to be going smoothly.

But things changed after Bayern Munich launched the Goethe contract's breach of contract clause to force Goece away.

After Goetze is destined to leave the team, if the top scorer in the team is released, the damage to the team's strength will be huge.

The Dortmund club is reluctant to take such risks. So they restarted Lewandowski's contract renewal work, hoping to stay Lewandowski.

This time, they gave Lewandowski a new contract with an annual salary of 7 million!

This figure has become more and more determined to leave the team's Geze, becoming the team's highest salary.

It seems that Goetze's raid by Bayern Munich did make the Dortmund club panic and open a contract with such a high annual salary, hoping to impress Lewandowski with money. At this time, they can't even think about what financial health is, although the word has been used by them many times to deal with the player's renewal of salary increases... This looks really ironic...

But how can the Lewandowski relegator who has reached an agreement with the Bayern Munich club give up the contract that has been negotiated? Although Dortmund has suppressed Bayern Munich in the past few years, in the eyes of most people, Bayern Munich needs Dortmund in terms of financial resources, fame, and status.

Lewandowski's visit to Bayern Munich is certainly more promising than staying in Dortmund-at that time, Bayern Munich was still leading Dortmund in the league standings. Dortmund was not sure they could reach the Champions League final.

As a result, Lewandowski played an amazing big four in the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. While creating history, it also made the Dortmund club more panic-now if Ley Wandovsky left, and the top of the Dortmund club is probably about to be bladed by Dortmund fans...

So they continued to pressure Lewandowski.

Under such circumstances, Lewandowski’s agent Kuhalski had to disclose to the media that they had an oral agreement with the Dortmund club, as long as there were other clubs offering for Lewandowski this summer For 25 million euros, Dortmund will let go.

Lewandowski's agent hopes to regain the initiative through such a move.

As a result, Dortmund’s ceo Vatske did not admit that there was such an agreement: "...The transfer not only depends on the player’s wishes, but also on the club’s ideas. At present, we have not received any official offer. Lewandoff Skik and the club also have a contract that expires in 2o14, and there is no termination clause in the contract..."

Kuhalsky was very dissatisfied with such a statement by Wacker~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Polish agent said in an interview with Der Spiegel: "Dortmund had assured us before that as long as the transfer fee reached a certain level The amount will allow players to transfer this summer. We will insist on the club fulfilling its commitment."

This is how the two sides went.

At that time, because the season was not over and the conflict was not intensified, both parties intentionally controlled the scale.

For example, the basic person of Lewandovs said after this matter: "I want to dedicate my goals in the Champions League semi-finals to my father who has died. Whenever I score an important goal, I will always dedicate it to He. Below we have a few rounds of the Bundesliga, in addition to the Champions League, that is the most important. As for the transfer situation, let us wait and see what will happen in the future, but I will not comment on this more... "

Now that the season is over, Dortmund has won the league title and the Champions League, and nothing can stop the club and the Lewandowski agent from tearing apart.

So Lewandowski's fate was turned over by the media, and the speculation became a big headache for Dortmund's club this summer.
