Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

The salary levels in the Bundesliga are not high.

While top players in the Premier League and La Liga are rolling in salary caps, the average weekly wage in the Bundesliga is only €3.4.

This data is from the 2013-2014 season.

Currently, there are very few players in the Bundesliga earning more than 10 euros a month.

Only two players from Bayern Munich have the highest salaries.

Franck Ribéry and Mario Götze are roughly equal, both earning around €1200 million annually.

The weekly wage is approximately 23 euros.

It's worth noting that four years ago, Messi and Ronaldo, the top-paid players in La Liga, had already reached this figure.

Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United captain who renewed his contract two years ago, already earns more than £25 a week.

To ensure the financial balance of each club, the Bundesliga has been relatively restrained in raising salaries and transfer fees.

Mendes' figure is not an exorbitant one.

He took into account Lu Xiao's current value and his important role in the team before daring to say that number.

Look at Götze of Bayern Munich, who has the highest salary in the Bundesliga, how has he performed this season?

Guardiola initially heavily relied on Götze, but later almost marginalized him.

Ribery is certainly very strong, but like Robben, he spent most of the season injured.

In contrast, Lu Xiao...

Age aside, his contributions to Bayer Leverkusen are simply immeasurable in monetary terms.

If it weren't for Lu Xiao, Leverkusen would probably only be fighting for a top-four finish.

Now, they are fighting on three fronts, and they have made it to the very end on all three fronts!

Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, Champions League champion

With a little effort, you can get at least one!

Based solely on Leverkusen's first Bundesliga title, Lu Xiao is worthy of being recorded in Leverkusen's history!

Mendes' €23 salary, the highest in the Bundesliga, shows he wasn't asking for an unreasonable amount.

The following day, in the club's conference room.

Lu Xiao and his agent assistant Harry Kane sat on one side, while opposite them was the club's CEO, Michael Shad.

I thought this salary negotiation would drag on for a long time.

As a result, Michael Shad glanced at the contract and quickly signed it.

"No problem, the numbers are reasonable."

"Won't you reconsider, Mr. Shad?"

"No, although this price is the limit the club can afford, we are still willing to pay this salary."

Michael Shad is indeed a professional.

My hands were trembling and my heart was bleeding when I signed, but I still managed to say all the right things.

"Because Lu, you are the pride of Leverkusen and the core player that the coaching staff relies on."

I know that in the future you will definitely not be limited to this place, and will inevitably go to a bigger and more prestigious club.

For at least the next two years, we hope you can play here with peace of mind and win more championships with the team.

Don't worry, we'll definitely strengthen the roster in the summer.

Regardless of the outcome this season, I will definitely give it my all in the new season.

Therefore, on behalf of Bayer Leverkusen, I hope you will seriously consider this contract. If you have any other needs, please feel free to let us know, and we will do our best to assist you…”

Lu Xiao and his agent's assistant, Harry Kane, were both stunned and looked at each other blankly.

It's hard to imagine that a club would take a 16-year-old player so seriously.

The only teams that get this kind of treatment are probably Barcelona vs. Messi, Manchester United vs. Ronaldo, and AC Milan vs. Kaká.

Lu Xiao naturally agreed. With no legal issues, he took out a pen and signed his name.

The contract will not take effect at the start of the new season, but will take effect immediately.

In other words, from now on, Lu Xiao has entered... the club with an annual salary of tens of millions of euros?

Professional athletes really do make a lot of money!

……

The news of Lu Xiao's contract renewal is being kept secret, and the specific amount has not yet been disclosed to the media.

However, with so many media outlets involved, the news still attracted widespread public attention.

The happiest people were, of course, the Bayer Leverkusen fans.

Since the first leg victory against Barcelona, ​​rumors have been circulating that Lu Xiao will transfer to another club in the new season.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all linked to Lu Xiao.

According to the media, Lu Xiao has been in and out of Arsenal's medical room countless times.

A future superstar who has proven himself in tough battles is bound to be a hot commodity sought after by major clubs.

Florentino himself admitted that he wanted to bring Lu Xiao to the Bernabéu.

Retired Sir Alex Ferguson also mentioned Lu Xiao in a BBC interview:

"It's a pity that if Lu had appeared a few years earlier, he might already be wearing the Manchester United jersey."

I believe any head coach would love to work with him.

The Sun also reported that Lu Xiao's agent, Mendes, had a face-to-face meeting with Chelsea owner Abramovich.

While Europe's major clubs were still dreaming...

Bayer Leverkusen's swift action reassured the fans.

"...It is understood that Lu's new contract offers an annual salary of nearly 10 million euros, similar to that of Ribery and Mario Götze."

Bayer Leverkusen officially stated that Lu Xiao is not for sale and is a cornerstone of the team's future.

From now on, we will build our tactics around Lu Xiao and witness the birth of a new dynasty together…

The news posted by Bild on Twitter was met with cheers from Leverkusen fans in the comments section.

"Fantastic! Do we have a chance to become a powerhouse?"

"We definitely can't sell Lu!"

"If he stays and a new squad is built around him, maybe we can look forward to another Bundesliga powerhouse!"

Naturally, some envious Bayern Munich and Dortmund fans also came to cause trouble.

"You're overthinking it. There's only one powerhouse in the Bundesliga."

"After all these years, don't you understand? He'll be Bayern's sooner or later."

"In this day and age, it's too difficult for an ordinary team to become a powerhouse."

"Leverkusen is just a stepping stone at best. I bet Lukakus will stay for a maximum of 5 years."

"No, no, no, with his abilities, he will definitely leave within 3 years."

"Come to Real Madrid! His style is a perfect fit for Real Madrid."

"Lu's playing style is a good fit for Barcelona! La Masia welcomes you!"

The internet was in an uproar, and Lu Xiao didn't expect that when she arrived at the cafeteria the next day...

Before he could even get his food, he was quickly surrounded by his teammates.

Son Heung-min, Julian Brandt, Lars Bender, Kiessling... several people looked at Lu Xiao with the eyes of onlookers.

"Lu, tell me, how much was signed in the new contract?"

"Give me a number, it'll scare me to death."

"I'm mentally prepared."

"No, are you all this gossipy?"

"We're all brothers, there's nothing to hide."

Despite knowing they would be hurt, they couldn't resist their gossipy nature.

Lu Xiao simply made a "2" gesture, picked up her plate, and walked to the dining table.

The group didn't even bother getting their food for the moment, and just looked at each other in bewilderment.

2?

2 euros?

That's not much.

Son Heung-min, who joined Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 1000 million euros, earns a weekly wage of 3.5 euros, placing him in the second tier of players in the Leverkusen squad.

The first tier is Kiessling, at 4.8 euros, close to 5 euros.

"However, it's already quite good that Lu can earn 2 euros at the age of 16."

When I was 16, I was still in youth training, and my apprenticeship contract only paid less than 5000...

"Yes, if we wait two years and Lu is still this freakish... he might be able to reach 20!"

"Hiss... That's insane! Damn it!"

Several people were filled with envy and were already starting to feel jealous!

Lu Xiao is simply the kind of genius that makes people insanely jealous.

Then, Captain Rolfes, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up:

"If what the news reports say is true, he might already have 20."

!!!

Leverkusen were stunned at first, then everyone's pupils dilated in shock!

The silence was deafening!

Son Heung-min, who had initially felt a slight sense of superiority, instantly lost it all!

The delicious German-style grilled sausages on the plate tasted bland.

"Aigoo—you really can't compare people!"
