David Jill and Ferguson, Glazer communicated with each other, and Glazer immediately asked his eldest son Evram to come to participate in the renewal negotiations in person.

Evram was a little dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal conditions, believing that the annual salary of 15 million euros is already very high, and it has to increase by 20% every year. This is simply a waste of people's hearts.

Ferguson also believes that the increase of 20% per year is too high, and once it is spread, it will definitely make the players feel dissatisfied.

David Gill told Ferguson and Evram that he judged that the 20% proposed by Mendes was a sky-high price, and that it would be estimated that giving him ten percent would make Gao Xiaodong satisfied.

Ferguson thinks it is acceptable to increase by 10% every year. After all, Gao Xiaodong is still young and will have a peak period of almost seven or eight years. It is normal for an annual salary to increase every year.

Evram believes that 10% cannot be given. The annual salary of 15 million euros is already the highest salary in the world. He has given Gao Xiaodong enough face. Gao Xiaodong's 10% fluctuation is greed.

In addition, Evram was a little unhappy when he heard that Gao Xiaodong was unwilling to renew his contract. He believed that Gao Xiaodong was not loyal to Manchester United enough.

David Gill saw that Evram had some misunderstandings about Gao Xiaodong and said, "It cannot be said that Gao Xiaodong is not loyal. He is just greedy for money. After signing a long contract, he has the initiative in the club. It may not be easy to increase his salary."

Evram sneered and said, "Will people who are too greedy be loyal? I don't believe this."

Ferguson said: "Loyalty or not is not the first priority. As long as he is professional enough, Gao Xiaodong is an indispensable player for Manchester United. Without him, the league and the FA Cup are okay, but it will be difficult for us to compete with Barcelona for the Champions League."

Evram frowned and said, "That means that no matter what conditions he puts, we have to agree."

Ferguson said: "We can't say that. We can't accept the excessive conditions. Of course, Mendes won't mention it. He is much more upright than Raiola's business. For now, Mendes' requirements are basically in line with Gao Xiaodong's ability and status."

Since the Glazer family took over Manchester United, it has brought too little investment and has suffered huge debts, which has been strongly opposed by Manchester United fans. Without Ferguson's strong support, it is still hard to say whether the Glazer family can hold on.

Therefore, although Evram was dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal conditions, he still respected Ferguson very much and immediately said, "When I came, my father asked me to obey your opinions."

Ferguson was very satisfied with Evram's attitude, "We will continue to negotiate with Mendes, hoping to complete the contract renewal with Gao Xiaodong under more appropriate conditions."

David Gill reminded: "Sir Alex, we don't have time to negotiate slowly. According to media reports, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City are now in contact with Gao Xiaodong, especially Real Madrid, Mourinho and Mendes. Gao Xiaodong has a deep relationship. If they offer better conditions, it is difficult to ensure that Gao Xiaodong will not have the will to leave."

When Evram heard this, he said worriedly: "So many teams want to poach Gao Xiaodong, but they are afraid that they will lift Gao Xiaodong's appetite even higher."

Ferguson said: "Bad, I know Gao Xiaodong. Although he is a little greedy for money, he is not a greedy person. Otherwise, after the end of last season, he will go to Manchester City or Chelsea, not Manchester United."

Evram remembered that when last season's transfer period, Manchester City had already paid Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of 17 million euros, but Gao Xiaodong still rejected Manchester City. From this, it can be seen that Gao Xiaodong is not a profit-oriented person, and he still has certain principles and bottom lines.

David Gill said: "I have had a conversation with Mendes. As far as I see, Mendes has little hope of making concessions. What he can accept is that the contract will last for two years, with an annual salary of 15 million, an increase of 10% per year."

Ferguson touched his nose and smiled, "I think we still have exchange conditions. For example, the captain, Gao Xiaodong is very eager to be the captain. You can promise him that the captain's armband will be given to him next season. In addition, the annual salary increase of 10% per year can be replaced by a signature fee. Compared with the illusory ten percent, I think Gao Xiaodong will prefer the real money signing fee."

David Jill and Evram were very satisfied with Ferguson's replacement plan. Although Manchester United would not save much money, this would have a smaller impact on the salary structure.

Evram reported the results of the negotiation to Old Glazer, who was ill in bed. Old Glazer also thought the plan was good and asked Evram to do it according to Ferguson's arrangement.

When David Gill met Mendes again and told Mendes about the results of his discussion with Ferguson and Evram, but he did not say that Gao Xiaodong would be the captain next season.

Mendes is still satisfied with such conditions. Gao Xiaodong hopes to stay at Manchester United this season, so it will be difficult to ask for a price all over the place. However, Mendes did not agree immediately, saying that he would communicate with Gao Xiaodong.

Mendes called and told Gao Xiaodong about the renewal conditions issued by Manchester United.

Gao Xiaodong's bottom line for renewal is to get the world's highest salary, so that he can deserve his position as Mr. Golden Ball. After renewal, the contract will not exceed four years, allowing Manchester United to reduce its constraints and restrictions on itself.

Judging from the contract renewal contract given by Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong's requirements were met, and the signing fee of 30 million euros was indeed very generous. Gao Xiaodong was quite satisfied, so Gao Xiaodong agreed immediately. What he didn't expect was that if he refused again, David Gill would satisfy his desire to be the captain next season.

Gao Xiaodong and Manchester United have no objection to the overall contract plan, and the remaining details are simple. After negotiations between Mendes and David Jill, Manchester United finally completed the renewal of Gao Xiaodong before the FA Cup final.

Before Gao Xiaodong renewed his contract, rumors about Gao Xiaodong were everywhere on the media. Either Real Madrid wanted to buy Gao Xiaodong or Manchester City wanted to poach Gao Xiaodong, and the conditions were very generous, which made Manchester United fans panic, worried that Gao Xiaodong would leave Manchester United next season.

Even Manchester United players were surprised and wondered whether Gao Xiaodong would leave. After all, Gao Xiaodong had a precedent for leaving after spending a season at Inter Milan.

Now that Gao Xiaodong announced his contract renewal with Manchester United, both fans and teammates are relieved.
