Pelatih MU Sir Alex Ferguson akan menjadi salah satu pelatih dengan gaji tertinggi di dunia

Keluarga Glazer masih ingin melihat Sir Alex Ferguson bertahan di kursi pelatih Manchester United. Tawaran kontrak baru pun diajukan.

Dari informasi yang diterima secara eksklusif dari Wayne Veysey, kepala tim koresponden GOAL.com, Manchester United menawarkan kontrak baru dengan kenaikan gaji mencapai 60 persen.

Sir Alex ditawari kontrak dengan nilai gaji 6,5 juta poundsterling per tahun dengan tambahan bonus satu juta pounds untuk setiap tropi yang diraih Manchester United.

Bentuk kesepakatan kontrak tidak akan berubah, demikian juga jumlah bonus yang diterima Sir Alex dalam kesepakatan baru itu.

Jika tawaran tersebut diterima, Sir Alex akan menjadi salah satu pelatih dengan pendapatan terbesar di dunia.

"Pembicaraan di jajaran manajemen atas dalam beberapa bulan terakhir adalah rencana tiga tahun. Keluarga Glazer sebelumnya tidak yakin dengan rencana Ferguson, jadi ia meminta David Gill untuk memberitahunya bahwa pencapaian yang sudah diraihnya selama bertahun-tahun akan dibalas dengan kesepakatan yang membuatnya sebagai pelatih dengan bayaran terbaik di sepakbola Inggris, sumber United kepada GOAL.com, Rabu (18/1).

"Sudah ada sejumlah pembicaraan dan klub ingin menuntaskannya sebelum masa libur reguler di akhir musim." Untuk Arsene Wenger saja. Pelatih Arsenal itu kabarnya mengantungi enam juta pounds setiap tahun. "Hal itu menunjukkan adanya bisnis yang bagus bagi klub dan keluarga Glazer. Ferguson selalu loyal kepada mereka dan mereka merasa sudah waktunya untuk menghadiahinya atas apa yang sudah dilakukannya."

Ada pun kesepakatan dengan Sir Alex sepertinya tidak akan mengalami masalah karena pelatih asal Skotlandia itu sendiri sudah menyatakan keinginan bertahan di Manchester United.

Sir Alex sendiri kabarnya hanya dibayar empat juta pounds dalam semusim. Jumlah tersebut tidak cukup bagus jika dibandingkan dengan koleganya di sejumlah klub dunia.

Liverpool sign Wilson from Rangers

Scottish Young Player of the Year Danny Wilson has joined Liverpool FC from Rangers FC, becoming the club's third summer signing following the arrivals of Joe Cole and Milan Jovanović.

Liverpool FC have completed their second transfer in as many days with the signing of 18-year-old Scottish Young Player of the Year Danny Wilson from Rangers FC. The centre-back follows Joe Cole to Anfield and has joined on a three-year contract for a reported €2.3m which could rise to €6m depending on appearances. The Scottish Under-19 international makes the move after an impressive breakthrough season for Rangers in which he scored once in 24 appearances following his debut in a League Cup quarter-final against Dundee FC on 27 October.

He also claims the distinction of being the youngest player to represent Rangers in a UEFA Champions League match – having featured against FC Unirea Urziceni a week later in only his second game for the Glasgow side. "This is a massive challenge for me," said Wilson. "I will be playing for one of the biggest teams in the world. It wasn't a difficult decision to come here as Liverpool are not a team who come in for you every day." Wilson is the fourth new face at Anfield after Cole, striker Milan Jovanović and manager Roy Hodgson who succeeded Rafael Benítez on 1 July. Liverpool will learn their UEFA Europa League third qualifying round opponents on Thursday when FK Rabotnicki, of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Armenia's FC Mika conclude their second qualifying round tie.
