The Beijing Men’s Basketball Team made every effort to retain Zeng Fanbo and offered him generous treatment: annual salary + bonus of 11 million

The Beijing Men’s Basketball Team has held a departure ceremony for the new season. Both head coach Xu Limin and the players have stated that winning the championship is the team’s only goal. Many Beijing fans believe that if Zeng Fanbo can continue to represent the Beijing Men's Basketball Team in the new season, the team's hope of winning the championship will be greater. According to Beijing media, Zeng Fanbo is currently training with the Chinese Men's Basketball National Team. The management of the Beijing Men's Basketball Team has been communicating with him through social software, hoping that he can renew his contract with the team. In order to keep Zeng Fanbo, the Beijing Men's Basketball Team offered him a very generous contract extension. It is said that the combined annual salary and bonuses reached 11 million.

Tell me how these 11 million came from. First of all, if Zeng Fanbo renews his contract with the Beijing Men's Basketball Team, he needs to sign a Type B contract. According to the CBA League's player contract regulations, the maximum annual salary for a Type B contract can reach 5.5 million yuan. Zeng Fanbo is currently one of the most outstanding forward players in the Chinese men's basketball team. He has firmly established himself as the main force of the team last season. In order to renew his contract, the Beijing Men's Basketball Team will definitely provide him with a maximum annual salary package, which is an annual salary of 5.5 million yuan. Many fans know this, so there is no need to say more.

In addition to the 5.5 million yuan in annual salary, there is also a clause in the "2025-2026 CBA League Player Draft, Salary Cap, Hiring and Transaction Management Regulations" that indicates that when teams and players sign Class B contracts, they can choose to use Class B player incentive clauses. Specifically, the team will give players who have outstanding performance a one-time reward for a single season, and the reward amount will be the player's basic salary for that season. 50%-100% (club option), the reward amount will not be included in the overall bonus limit of the domestic player season. This clause also has three requirements for players: first, they must play more than 80% (inclusive) of regular season games; second, they must average more than 21 minutes (inclusive) per game; third, they must represent participating clubs in the playoffs.

Combined with the Beijing Men's Basketball Team, the team can choose to activate the incentive clauses when signing a contract with Zeng Fanbo. As long as Zeng Fanbo can meet those three requirements, he will be able to receive an annual salary of 5.5 million and a reward of 50% to 100% of the 5.5 million. It is reported that the Beijing Men's Basketball Team has decided to use incentive clauses for Zeng Fanbo in order to keep him, and the amount of the bonus has reached 100% of his annual salary, which is 5.5 million yuan. In this case, the contract extension package offered by the Beijing Men's Basketball Team to Zeng Fanbo is an annual salary of 5.5 million + an incentive of 5.5 million, totaling 11 million.

It has to be said that the Beijing Men's Basketball Team also spent a lot of money to keep Zeng Fanbo. Under the current wage system, few players can earn more than tens of millions. But it’s no wonder that the Beijing Men’s Basketball Team was established in July 1956, and the 25-26 season happens to be the 70th anniversary of the team’s founding. It is reported that the Sports Bureau has given the Beijing Men's Basketball Team a fatal order, that is, it must win the championship in the new season. Under such circumstances, the management of the Beijing Men's Basketball Team can only increase the team's strength at any cost, and Zeng Fanbo is a very important player, so the Beijing Men's Basketball Team can only offer him a very generous contract.

Now there are two options before Zeng Fanbo. One is to play abroad, but he will definitely not be able to play in the NBA. Basically, he can only go to Australia to play in the NBL league. If this is Zeng Fanbo's choice, it will definitely be good for him to improve his abilities, but going to Australia to play is "less money, more things, far away from home", and he will definitely encounter considerable difficulties. The second is to choose to renew the contract with the Beijing Men's Basketball Team. This choice is "more money, less work and closer to home", and it is very likely to help the team win the championship and gain personal honors. As for the NCAA mentioned by some media people, there is currently no precedent for players with E10 contracts to play. The possibility of Zeng Fanbo joining an NCAA team is not high. At present, the Beijing Men's Basketball Team is still trying its best to renew Zeng Fanbo's contract. It depends on how Zeng Fanbo chooses!
