Yes, after the final considerations of this period of negotiation, Xu Qi did make the decision to go to Donetsk miners.

Because the miners gave him a contract worth 330,000 euros an annual salary and gave a four-year contract term, and the liquidated damages were only 9.5 million euros.

Compared with the contract given by Ajax, it only has an annual salary of 150,000 euros. They actually require a sky-high liquidated damages of 18 million euros, which is enough to make Xu Qi choose between the two.

The annual salary is less than half of the other party, and the liquidated damages are twice as high.

The annual salary of 330,000 euros is equivalent to about 3 million yuan, which is also the maximum salary in the Luneng team.

Many domestic players mostly cut their salary when going to Europe. If Xu Qi is willing to renew his contract with Luneng, he will be confident that he can get the same salary.

"It is a good thing to play football abroad, why is Brother Dabin unhappy?" At this time, Xu Qi expressed his doubts.

"A free transfer." Zhou Haibin glanced at Xu Qi and suddenly realized: "You should also want a free transfer, right?"

"Of course I have to transfer freely. My contract will expire in a few days." Xu Qi replied that geography should be done.

Zhou Haibin paused for a moment and said slowly: "Now the club's senior management and a large number of domestic fans can't understand the free transfer. It seems like a proper path, but it won't be so easy to walk."

Xu Qi nodded. He also knew that the international transfer rules were different from China's transfer rules. Although the Football Association has been shouting that it is necessary to align with the international community, it is actually another matter in operation.

If players are allowed to transfer freely, the interests of these clubs that invest in football will be damaged. Therefore, they believe that they are protecting the interests of the club and can also eliminate some secret operations.

In fact, this does not eliminate so-called understatement operations, but at the same time they deprive the players of their freedom.

However, Xu Qi's situation is still a little different from Zhou Haibin. Although Zhou Haibin is from Dalian, he entered Luneng Football School when he was thirteen or fourteen years old and became a part of Luneng Youth Training.

He has been in Luneng for nearly ten years. Now he wants to transfer freely abroad, but the club cannot get a penny of return, which is really difficult for the club to accept.

But Xu Qi is not a product of Luneng Youth Training. He has only been working in Luneng for one year.

Although he has a good relationship with his teammates and coach, he will not feel much guilt if he leaves with free transfer.

But equally, Luneng did not want to let Xu Qi go. Xu Qi showed far more talent than Zhou Haibin, and he made great contributions to Luneng's championship journey this season.

Of course, domestic clubs seem to support players in the team to play abroad, but it depends on which method.

If it is like Zheng Zhi, foreign clubs pay the transfer fee and take the players away, even if Luneng does not want to agree, fans across the country will force them to agree.

Not allowing players to go abroad is to fight against the development of Chinese football? They cannot afford this crime.

After all, this is just a matter of face. Is Luneng short of money? They obviously don’t lack money. They can even charge some transfer fees symbolically, but the core of the team just leaves for free, which is too embarrassing and makes their senior management too incompetent.

After chatting with Zhou Haibin for a few more words, Xu Qi walked into the club's office building alone.

Originally, Liang Ru wanted to accompany Xu Qi, but after thinking about it, Xu Qi decided to explain the matter clearly.

Manager's office.

The club's general manager Kang Meng and executive deputy general manager Han Gongping sat upright on the sofa. Both of them looked a little worried at this time, obviously because they were affected by Zhou Haibin's negotiations just now.

However, when Xu Qi walked in, Han Gongping's face immediately filled with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Xu is here." Han Gongping immediately said, "Come and sit down."

Xu Qi nodded, and went to Han Gongping opposite him, and also greeted the two big shots.

"Xiao Xu, I'm discussing your business recently." Han Gongping said immediately.

"Oh?" Xu Qi was stunned. Could it be that he had known about his contact with foreign clubs? However, although he also saw media reports on such matters, most of them were speculations and it was not reliable at all.

"About your new contract, the club is discussing it. What do you think of an annual salary of 1.5 million?" Han Gongping asked.

It turned out that he was explaining the new contract in the year, and after their discussion, he decided to give Xu Qi a salary of 1.5 million yuan.

To be honest, such salary is low due to Xu Qi's ability. Of course, the team's high-paid players are all meritorious officials and big-name foreign players. With Xu Qi's outstanding performance in just one year and the small qualifications of newcomers in the team, if he is given a higher-priced contract, it may make some veterans not very satisfied.

Seeing Xu Qi's face calm and unsatisfied, not seeing dissatisfaction or joy, Han Gongping felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't guess what Xu Qi was thinking.

"Xiao Xu, we all see your contributions to the team. Can you still discuss things like contracts? But you are still young and it is useless to get too much salary. When you have good performance next year, your salary can still increase again." Han Gongping continued.

"I saw Haibin when I came in just now." Xu Qi said lightly.

He did not discuss the contract, but instead mentioned the person who had both Han Gongping and Kang Meng had a headache just now.

Kang Meng glanced at Xu Qi with a little meaningful look and asked, "What did you talk to Haibin?"

"Dream." Xu Qi blurted out, and then he said to Kang Meng: "Mr. Kang, who doesn't want to go abroad to play football? My purpose is actually the same as that of Haibin, I am here to say goodbye."

When they heard Xu Qi's words, both of them looked at me and I looked at you at the same time, feeling a little at a loss.

They actually heard the separation of two core players in the team on the same day, which really surprised the two big players in the team.

"Xiao Xu, are you dissatisfied with your salary? If you are not satisfied with your salary, can you say that although the approval of a high-paying contract is a little troublesome, your performance is definitely worthy." Han Gongping immediately said that Xu Qi is the current team's treasure, and he can't watch the team lose such a big offensive weapon.

"No dissatisfaction, I said it was a dream. I want to play football abroad. I think men should pursue greater challenges." Xu Qi's expression still did not change. He did not come to listen to the opinions and bargaining of the two bigwigs, but to tell them that his intention to go was decided.

"We can understand the idea of ​​going abroad, but there is no greater challenge in China?" Kang Meng frowned and said directly: "Next year we will strive to defend our title, and become the first team to defend our Super League champion after the reform of the Chinese Super League. And we can still play in the AFC Champions League next year. Isn't the AFC Champions League a bigger stage?"

Xu Qi shook his head: "What I want to participate in is the Champions League, not the AFC Champions League. To me, the AFC Champions League is meaningless!"

"Young man, you are too ambitious! Do you think going abroad is a good thing? If you can't play the ball, you'd be better at staying in China. You have also seen Dong Fangzhuo's example. His talent was not much worse than you before. Even if you go to a wealthy family abroad, you will have to come back in a mess in the end?" Kang Meng felt that the young man in front of him was a little unreasonable.

Xu Qi nodded and replied: "Going abroad is a challenge, and naturally it is also a risk. Since I decided to play football abroad, I am of course mentally prepared. I am willing to take this risk."
