The appearance of the bidding market invigorated everyone in Blue Lock.
They clearly had not expected Ego Jinpachi to play for such high stakes.
Moreover, their every move was now under the watchful eyes of fans all over the world.
Ego Jinpachi had created a channel called "BLTV."
Fans only needed to search for it on the streaming platform Mouse TV and subscribe to watch the Neo Egoist League live, including the players' daily lives and training.
Isagi Yoichi noticed his offer, which was 17 million yen.
The club that provided the offer was Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga.
The offer Kunigami Rensuke received was 24 million, and Bachira guru's was 32 million.
Since both of them had scored in the match, the offers they received were higher than Isagi's.
At the sa ti, he noticed that players like Raichi Jingo, who didn't get a chance to play, had not received any offers.
Isagi looked further up the list.
Then he saw that the offer for the absolute core of Bayern's youth academy, Kaiser, was a staggering 300 million.
Of course, the unit was not Euros, but Japanese Yen.
Converted to Euros, it was about 1.7 million.
This shocked Isagi, but so real-world viewers couldn't help but complain.
'Only 1.7 million Euros?'
'Isn't the production team being a bit cheap?'
'Exactly! Isn't Bayern a top European giant? Their crown prince is only worth 1.7 million?'
'Are they trying to pay off a beggar? A New Generation World XI player is only at the level of 1.7 million Euros?'
Seeing these viewers' comnts, a fictional comntator, Fan Wu, had to explain.
He said, "Friends, don't be hasty. This annual salary is quite reasonable."
"Because this is an annual salary, not a transfer fee. 1.7 million Euros is very much in line with a rookie's salary."
"European football salaries are calculated on a weekly basis. 1.7 million Euros converts to roughly 35,000 Euros per week. While this number isn't huge, it's absolutely normal."
"Most new players receive a salary around this figure."
Viewers who don't know much about football can easily get confused about salaries.
Germany has a website that specializes in calculating player market values, which fans commonly call "De Zhuan" (Transfermarkt).
This market value is calculated based on a player's recent performance, age, potential, and so on.
However, this market value doesn't an that another club wanting to buy a player must spend exactly that amount.
So, Transfermarkt is just a relatively professional website that can estimate a player's specific value.
To put it simply, it's like the in-ga price of equipnt in Fantasy Westward Journey.
You can estimate the value, but the final transaction price is negotiated between the two clubs.
Such a transaction has little to do with the player; the profit is obtained by the club selling the player.
This transfer fee is a form of compensation for the club's investnt in developing the player.
Therefore, many clubs in Europe profit from "selling" players.
Among them, the most famous is Ajax from the Netherlands.
The master craftsn of Ajax are the most well-known "selling club" in Europe.
And Kaiser's current 1.7 million Euro annual salary is not a transfer fee; it is a separate salary that the player receives.
For a rookie who has not proven himself in the top five leagues, a weekly salary of 35,000 Euros is a normal standard.
But if another club wants to take Kaiser from Bayern, they would need to do so via a transfer. Because Kaiser's contract is with Bayern, the specific transfer fee would depend on how much both sides value him.
After Fan Wu's explanation, the audience finally understood.
But so still felt that the salary was too low.
He was a New Generation World XI player, after all. If you think of him as an NBA lottery pick, an annual salary of 1.7 million Euros really isn't high.
After all, the 2025 #1 pick, Flagg, has a contract of $62.7 million over 4 years, with an average annual salary of $15 million.
That was significantly higher than Kaiser's 1.7 million Euros.
Most of the people asking these questions were those who didn't know much about soccer.
Because football salaries are mostly calculated post-tax, while NBA salaries are pre-tax.
In short, there wasn't a major issue with this salary.
After being shocked by Kaiser's offer, Isagi Yoichi's eyes widened again.
He discovered.
Above him, there was still Tendou Kageyoshi.
The offer he received ca from Tottenham Hotspur, and their offer for Tendou was a terrifying 1.03 billion.
"1 billion?!"
Not just Isagi, but everyone in Blue Lock, and even the youth players from Bayern and Bar??a, thought their eyes were deceiving them.
Who on earth was this guy nad Tendou?
On what grounds could he receive a higher offer than Kaiser?
"Wait, there were reports earlier that Pochettino personally ca to Japan to invite a local genius. His target was Tendou..."
Isagi's reaction was a bit slower than Chigiri's, but he also understood.
anwhile.
London.
Pochettino was also closely following every move in Blue Lock, or rather, Tendou's every move.
He hadn't expected Blue Lock to suddenly create a "BLTV."
With this, Tendou would inevitably enter the sights of all of Europe.
Therefore, even before Tendou had played a single match, he convinced the club chairman to make a preemptive bid of 6 million Euros, 1 million higher than their original 5 million Euro offer.
In the current situation, Tendou was bound to enter the sights of other European clubs.
He couldn't be hidden anymore; there was no way to quietly bring him to London.
And when it ca to financial power, Spurs was no match for those other teams.
The only thing Spurs had was sincerity.
'6 million Euros?'
'My God, Tendou's value is higher than the newly debuted genius Kaiser?'
'I already told you, this is a SALARY, not a market value! If you don't understand football, don't just shout randomly!'
'Can soone tell
what level this annual salary is?'
'What level? The current Asian number one, Son Heung-min, was recently reported to have a weekly salary of 190,000 Euros post-tax, with an annual salary of less than 10 million Euros. What level do you think this 6 million is?'
'So that's a weekly salary of 125,000 Euros? That's already mid-table Premier League level! Spurs really rates Tendou that highly!'
'You'd be a fool not to! Given Tendou's performance of wiping the floor with a World XI player and his talent, 6 million Euros is even a bit low. Let him play at this level for another year, and his Transfermarkt value will start at 100 million Euros. He's no ordinary kid.'
Tottenham's offer stunned many people.
The real-world audience was stunned, and the Blue Lock world audience was also stunned.
Including those clubs in Europe, who couldn't understand Tottenham's intentions.
Have they lost their minds? Giving a 17-year-old kid a weekly salary of 120,000?
