The arrival of Gago has made Hoffenheim's transfer expenses this season reach 30.5 million euros, which ranks first in the current transfer rankings of the Bundesliga this year. It has just begun in July, and Hoffenheim has become a major transfer player in the Bundesliga.

And their transfer activities are definitely not over yet.

Even after spending so much money, Rangnick did not stop trying to keep Chu Zhongtian. He continued to convince Hope.

He told Hope that if he wants the team to remain competitive in the next few seasons, he will have to spend so much money. 20 million euros per season is really not a big deal. Now inflation is not worth the money, and the players' value is much higher than before, so 20 million euros is not a "huge money" that the team cannot afford. The most important thing is to keep Chu Zhongtian, which is more important than 20 million. Superstars like Chu Zhongtian have the qualifications to demand a proof of ambition from the club, which is definitely not an excessive requirement.

So far, the team has spent 30 million, which made Hope realize that 20 million is not too much each season... So he nodded and agreed to the request put forward by Chu Zhongtian's agent - within the period of Chu Zhongtian's contract, Hoffenheim will spend at least 20 million euros to sign ups each season to enhance the team's strength.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian made this rule not to hope that the team would introduce well-known stars every year. It really wouldn't be able to buy a few well-known stars who are playing properly for 20 million yuan. However, the signing can keep the team fresh and improve the team's internal and external competitiveness. The players with good quality and low price are also good, even if it's a little cheaper, as long as it's easy to use. Hoffenheim's initial signing was not expensive, but it's very useful, and the team won the league championship.

He doesn't want Hoffenheim to be like Metz. When the transfer window opens every season, he only knows how to sell people but not buy people. The coach told the club owner that we should buy new players to improve the team's strength, and the boss said that we can tap potential from the youth team.

Chu Zhongtian is not looking down on the players of the youth team. The problem is that a team that is determined to win the championship and is determined to be a regular UEFA Champions League player is not enough to rely solely on young players. If the team did not buy veterans like Simonic, Metzeld and Van Nystruei last season, they would definitely not be able to enter the Champions League quarterfinals. Moreover, although Hoffenheim is very good at youth training, he has not reached the level of Arsenal and Barcelona. Any player who gets a youth team is like Carlos, Bella and Messi. If you want to maintain competitiveness, you must be willing to invest in the transfer market.

After the club's general manager Rothouse conveyed to Chu Zhongtian that Hope was willing to agree to the conditions he proposed, Chu Zhongtian also instructed Mr. Merry to restart the contract renewal negotiations with the club.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian really has no requirements in other aspects. He neither requires the club to raise the salary nor asks the club to increase various bonuses and other benefits. He only needs to be able to play in a club that always maintains ambition. Since he is very happy to play in Hoffenheim, why not continue? Of course, the premise is that Hoffenheim Club meets the requirements he put forward.

Therefore, once the club agreed to the request made by Chu Zhongtian, the contract renewal will proceed very quickly.

On July 17, eleven days after the team started training, Hoffenheim Club officially announced that they had completed a very important signing.

Apart from this, the club did not disclose more content, which made the media speculate whether they had introduced some very powerful figures, such as famous stars who were popular. For a time, many players' names were associated with them.

On July 18th the next day, Hoffenheim Club finally revealed the answer.

During the training, Rangnick, Chu Zhongtian and club chairman Hoffman attended a press conference together. At the press conference, Rangnick said to the reporters who were hung up with a smile: "We finally finalized the most important signing for Hoffenheim this season yesterday." After that, he patted Chu Zhongtian sitting next to him on the shoulder, "I am very happy to inform everyone that the club has successfully renewed the contract with Chu for four years, and he will play for the team until 2014!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the most important signing refers to contract renewal... But thinking about it is true. For Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian is definitely an important person that cannot be lost. With him and Hoffenheim without him are just two teams. Hoffenheim without him can be in the middle of the Bundesliga rankings and can occasionally participate in European competitions, but with Chu Zhongtian, they have the capital to compete for the league championship and the ability to attend the Champions League in a row.

Chu Zhongtian promoted Hoffenheim from a quasi-strong team to a first-class team.

Therefore, being able to leave Chu Zhongtian under the rumor is indeed an important signing for Hoffenheim.

Next is the time when the players expressed their sincere feelings and denied the previous rumors.

Chu Zhongtian said he was very happy to stay in Hoffenheim because he liked the feeling of playing football in this team.

"...I'm very happy to play football with those high-level teammates, I like Hoffenheim very much. I'm also very happy about renewing the contract..."

A reporter asked: "Chu, I heard that the reason why you were unable to renew your contract some time ago was that you asked the club that you would spend at least 20 million euros every year in the transfer market. Is that true?"

The media still knew about this matter. However, Chu Zhongtian did not think there was anything wrong with knowing it. This was an open and upright matter.

He nodded: "Yes. I have had such a requirement. I think the team should always maintain ambitions, so the investment in the transfer market is a must. I don't think that 20 million is a huge amount per season. I have considered it seriously and I didn't say it casually. In fact, the same is true. From the promotion to the Bundesliga to now, the team has spent a lot of money every summer in the transfer market in three seasons, and it is more than 20 million in each season."

Rangnick took over the conversation: "It is a good thing that Chu has ambitions, because players without ambitions cannot lead the team forward. I am very happy to work with such an ambitious player. I believe that our club has ambitions too."

Then the three of them gathered together and asked the reporters to take photos, and that was over. The next day, the photo of the three people taking photos was published in the newspaper. Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, it was really unexpected that the rumors about Chu Zhongtian leaving the team were still flying all over the sky.

The Rhine-Neca newspaper cheered Hoffenheim, believing that Hope's keeping Chu Zhongtian was his most correct decision. Otherwise, if Chu Zhongtian leaves before the start of this season, Hoffenheim will suffer a great loss... The media generally believe that if Chu Zhongtian was not available, Hoffenheim would not even be able to get out of the Champions League group stage.

Some media also think that Chu Zhongtian’s contract renewal is not a good idea, and he can completely jump out of Hoffenheim to pursue honors in other major clubs.

But no matter what others say, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim renewed their contract. Chu Zhongtian always said that he would not consider leaving until his contract expires, so now Hoffenheim fans can rest assured for another four years.

However, those teams that hope to get Chu Zhongtian will not give up. For them, the renewal of the player is just because the opponent's club wants to ask for more transfer fees. If they do not renew the contract, the player will be able to transfer and leave at a very low price in one year, and they will simply leave freely after two years. Now the club can't get a penny. If they renew the contract, the club will have the capital to bargain - my players are worth this price, do you buy it? If you buy it, pay the money honestly. If you don't pay, I will not lose it. Anyway, the players will continue to play for me for a few years.

There are many precedents in the world football world who transfer and leave just after renewing the contract, so the agents and clubs who are familiar with these know that renewal does not mean anything at all. Unless the relationship is really broken and the players are determined to leave, they will renew their contracts. In their opinion, the relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim has certainly not reached that point. Although there were signs that they thought they would develop into that shape before, it still did not happen after all. That little thing is not enough to affect the relationship between Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian.

Currently, Chu Zhongtian is like the local emperor in Hoffenheim. He has joined the team's coaching team. The team's platoon should listen to him, and the team's signings should also listen to him. He can modify the tactics formulated by the head coach on the court without being punished. He has absolute authority in the locker room, even surpassing head coach Rangnick. He is quite like Maradona, the king of football in Naples. It is said that when he played football in Naples, the starting lineup of each game could be decided only by discussing with a few teammates. The head coach's opinions do not need to be considered... Those clubs interested in Chu Zhongtian still believe that there is no unbreakable alliance relationship in this world, even if the relationship is good now.

He may also betray him in the future. Louis Figo, the king of Camp Nou, who would have thought that he would join his arch rival Real Madrid in the future? You know, after scoring the goal, he shouted "Real Madrid, bastard! Salute to the champion." There is also Manchester United's star, the heartthrob David Beckham, when he and Ferguson were like father and son, he probably didn't think that he would one day turn against the old Lord and escape from Old Trafford, right? Raul Gonzalez, the banner of Real Madrid, can only leave the Bernabeu and go to Germany to play football? So why can't Chu Zhongtian leave Hoffenheim? As long as they persist in pursuing Chu Zhongtian, they can always take him away from Rhine Neka.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian's contract renewal is not a big blow to those teams who are interested in him. Those who are scared are small teams that have no capital to pursue Chu Zhongtian. For big teams, a little transfer fee is not a problem at all.

For example, after Chu Zhongtian just renewed his contract, the English media revealed that Manchester City was willing to spend 50 million to pursue Chu Zhongtian.

The news was soon overwhelmed. On the second day after Chu Zhongtian renewed his contract, he said he wanted to buy Chu Zhongtian. This was obviously not possible. But who can guarantee that such a similar rumor would not come true in another year?

For ordinary people, as long as they stick to their ideals, they will always succeed. For those teams, who can say that they cannot stick to this ideal?

※※※Chu Zhongtian renewed his contract with Hoffenheim, and Hoffenheim left him at all costs. But not everyone can get him like this.

In order to keep Chu Zhongtian, Hoffenheim was willing to increase his salary significantly, but he was rejected by Chu Zhongtian. Since he asked the club to spend 20 million to buy people every season, he should do something to show sincerity. He could not ask the club to pay for people, but also ask the club to increase his annual salary. How can he not want to suffer any loss? If he really does this, then his real purpose will not be very pure and convincing. So he rejected the salary proposed by Hoffenheim and kept it the same as it is. Even so, he is still the highest salary in the team.

If other players want to take the opportunity to negotiate a new contract with the club, I'm sorry... the club will not show their attitude towards Chu Zhongtian to deal with them.

Wellington wanted to get more opportunities to play, so the club decided to loan him. Because his strength was not as good as the main player in the team, but he did have potential. It would be a pity to just put it on the bench and rot. Instead of doing this, it would be better to rent him out and get the opportunity to exercise.

In this way, he was loaned to the Eredivisie Twente Club, who promised to give him the main position where he could show his talent, impress Hoffenheim and other European clubs.

After Eduardo, the second person to transfer to the team was midfielder Wosa. His departure was because Chu Zhongtian and Sana were both stable and had few opportunities to play. On the other hand, it was because he was frequently injured and he was unable to find his form. The third reason was naturally because Rangnick believed that he could not meet the team's requirements.

Although there is no position in Hoffenheim, Wosa is still very popular among other teams. He can play multiple positions on the defense line. The head coaches like such a versatile player.

In the end, he transferred to the Bundesliga-listed Sao Paulo for 4 million euros, where he could get the chance to play he had always dreamed of, and his ability also meets the team's requirements. Of course, if he no longer gets injured frequently... Chu Zhongtian stayed, but it does not mean that all the main players can stay.

For example, the main goalkeeper Hildebran is fighting a tug-of-war with the club. It has been a day or two since he had a conflict with the club, but some time ago, Chu Zhongtian was the target of everyone's attention, so his news was naturally ignored.

Now that Chu Zhongtian’s contract renewal has been successful, Hildebran’s contract renewal has become the news that everyone can see.

Hildebran hopes to significantly increase his salary, otherwise he will not renew his contract with the club. In the beginning, Hildebran had only one and a half years of contract with the club, because at that time Hildebran had never played in the game in La Liga team Valencia. Everyone doubted how good he was in and whether he still had strength without a ball. For the purpose of caution, the team only signed a contract with him for one and a half years. In the middle of last season, with his outstanding performance, the team renewed his contract with him for three years, with an annual salary of 1.8 million euros after tax.

Now as the team has entered the Champions League in a row, Hildebran has greater ambitions. He hopes that his treatment can be improved significantly, so his agent starts negotiations with the club again. Hildebran's annual salary is 2.5 million euros after tax.

This is far from Hoffenheim's expectations. The club agreed at most that his annual salary was 2 million, and 2.5 million would not work. Because Chu Zhongtian's contract has specific regulations on the club's transfer fee investment, which states that if the club cannot guarantee a minimum investment of 20 million euros per year, then once a big team wants to buy Chu Zhongtian, Hoffenheim will not use the transfer fee as a means of obstruction - Hoffenheim cannot guarantee the transfer fee investment, even if the contract is broken first, since that is the case, Chu Zhongtian will not have to talk to them about any relationship.

In the future, Hoffenheim will not be able to get direct blood transfusions from Hope, so their fiscal policy will inevitably be cautious. At this critical moment, Hildebran also proposed an annual salary of 2.5 million euros. How is this possible?

Hoffenheim directly stopped Hildebran's contract renewal negotiations and said that he and the team still have two years of contract, so there is no need to rush to negotiate renewal negotiations now. Besides, Hildebran is 33 years old in two years. Who knows if he can still play as the main force? Why do you need to renew the contract again?

Seeing that the salary increase was not achieved, Hildebran's agent used the second move - reciprocating with other teams to force Hoffenheim to submit. Don't you think Hildebran has no value for renewal in two years? So what about now? You always need Hildebran this season and next season, right? Haas is simply useless... Demba's agent once used Rangnick, but he was really sold to Stuttgart by Rangnick for 14 million euros.

Can Hildebran get benefits this time?

In response to the recent media rumors that Hildebran had an affair with other teams, Rangnick's reaction was that he immediately announced that the team was looking for a new goalkeeper... This is telling Hildebran, don't think that without the butcher of Xi, we have to eat a pig. If you want to leave, let's find a successor. Want to raise a salary? No way! It's hard to find a three-legged crab, but are there few goalkeepers on two legs?

Faced with Rangnick's counterattack, Hildebran didn't know how to deal with it for a while. His agent suggested that if Hoffenheim really did such a "ruthless" thing, then just seek to leave.

When Hildebrand joined Hoffenheim, he hoped to impress the national team head coach Löw with his performance so as to catch up with the South African World Cup. Unexpectedly, even so, she was not included in the 23-man roster of the national team. Seeing that a young goalkeeper like Neuer had gradually gained a foothold in front of the national team's goal line, his hope of returning to the national team became increasingly slim. At the age of 31, he should also consider what happened after retirement. At this time, money became the most important indicator for players.

Since Hoffenheim cannot meet his salary requirements, why not go to a team that can meet it?
