Fan Zhendong s annual salary for joining the Bundesliga was exposed! It s 10 times higher than that of domestic table tennis

Recently, Olympic champion Fan Zhendong suddenly announced his joining the German Salbrücken Club. He will play in Europe for one season. This news caused the table tennis circle to explode.

Someone is curious, how much is the salary for playing in the Bundesliga?

It is reported that Fan Zhendong will have a basic annual salary of 1.2 million euros (about 9.8 million yuan), which is 10 times that of playing in the domestic Table Tennis Super League (the annual salary of top players in the domestic Table Tennis Super League is RMB 500,000-800,000 yuan)!

This number is equivalent to one year in the Bundesliga and three years in the country. No wonder fans call it "the maximum salary in the table tennis industry to study abroad."

How to calculate the annual salary of tens of millions? It is not just a simple salary

1.2 million euros annual salary before tax is amazing, deducting 45% of Germany's marginal tax rate, but the actual salary is about 540,000 euros (about 4.5 million yuan).

Smart clubs will also count commercial value into contracts:

Portrait rights sharing, jersey sales commission, sponsor linkage income, which may add up to 30% of annual revenue.

More importantly, the Bundesliga clubs have a mature commercial development system, and fans can get a half-month domestic training allowance in one match. This dual-track income model of "court + business" is a golden period for 28-year-old Fan Zhendong.

Why did the national table tennis Grand Slam go to Europe? The three real considerations are very real

Some people don’t understand, so they don’t need to guarantee the system of the Table Tennis Super League at their doorstep. Why do they go to the Bundesliga to compete for bayonets?

Look at Fan Zhendong's training schedule and you will understand: in the past year, due to the adjustment after the Paris Olympic cycle (I won't repeat the reasons, old fans know it), Fan Zhendong's international competition participation rate is about 0, and the Bundesliga has high-intensity confrontations every week. Old opponents such as Moregaard, Hugo, Lebron Brothers are all the main players. This density of "training with competitions" cannot be achieved in China.

More realistic is that German clubs allow personalized training plans without following the national team's "one-size-fits-all" team. For him who needs to target the cracks of Zhang Benzhihe and Lin Yunru's new tactics, it is a tailor-made special training camp.

Behind studying abroad is a new change in the table tennis world. This move may affect the next decade

In my opinion, this is not a simple business transfer, but a landmark event in the professionalization of Chinese table tennis.

In the past, we always said "Wolf Raising Plan". There were many transfer players and many players who went to foreign clubs to play leagues, but it was the first time that the top players at the world-class level went to overseas leagues.

It is reported that Fan Zhendong's contract has an interesting clause hidden - the club must cooperate with the training arrangements of the Chinese national team. This mixed model of "institutional identity + overseas league" may become a new choice for the future main players of the national table tennis team.

The far-reaching impact lies in commercial development: when European fans began to consume crazy for Chinese players, it was actually a reshuffle of the global commercial value of table tennis, which could promote the professionalization of the project more than winning ten Olympic gold medals.

The Europeans could no longer hold back.

What's funny is that after completing the transfer procedures for Fan Zhendong on Saturday night, Saarbrücken Club said it was a little cautious and announced the news later, but it was officially announced in the early morning of Sunday. Within two days, Fan Zhendong's jerseys were prepared for him, and the official account even posted it to show off "Can 't wait!"

This good news is really unstoppable.

His future teammates, Francesca, and Moregaard, who are also in Salbrücken, posted several updates in succession, and also filmed videos to express their welcome.

Fan Zhendong, who is now in Europe, has been firmly guarded by the media. Although he has not officially joined the team and started training, his every move he has watched the Champions League final in Paris and had dinner at Saarbrücken Park made local fans blink.

The local supermarket also had table tennis rackets with "Fan Zhendong" printed on it and other surroundings.

Some people are worried about whether studying abroad will affect the national team's running-in, but I think everyone should rest assured that the real top players will never be restricted by regional restrictions. When the national table tennis team is still struggling with "in-system guidance", Fan Zhendong has already used a tens of millions of contract to give a vivid lesson to the professionalization of Chinese sports.
