Chapter 350 Mendez's ambition
And when Li Yuxin was struggling, the club had a new round of communication with Mendes, on the one hand to prepare for next season's signings, and on the other hand to sign a new contract with Li Yuxin!

"Arsena, if you really want to introduce him, I can help you. Under the same conditions, I can let him and his father choose Arsenal first."

Mendez is still sure of this.The other party's agent can have today.Mendes has helped him a lot. This is not too difficult for Mendes.As long as Arsenal's money is not worse than other clubs, it is possible for him to choose Arsenal Mendes.Even if the conditions are slightly worse than other clubs, Mendes can also help facilitate this transfer.

"Thanks then, Jorge."

Thanks?In fact, for Mendes, thank you is unnecessary.Because if he really transfers to Arsenal by then, Arsenal will need to pay Mendes.There is no reason to call Mendes casually and then not give money.

"Jorge, I came to you today for one thing."

"speak!"

"Lee's contract is about to expire, we should talk about renewal."

I heard it was Li Yuxin's business.Mendes immediately sat upright.Among Mendes' players, Li Yuxin is definitely a cornucopia.Mendes knew Li Yuxin when he was 17 years old, and it has been seven years now.And this is only the early stage of Li Yuxin's career, and Li Yuxin's peak period has not yet arrived.But he has already brought Mendes nearly [-] million euros in income.

Over the years, Mendes has earned an unknown amount of money relying on Li Yuxin.Because of Li Yuxin, Mendes received more than 1000 million euros in real money from Arsenal alone.

Just like the player's salary share.Agents were vassals of players before the Bosman Act.Therefore, the club is only responsible for paying the players' salaries, and then the players give 5.00% of their salaries to their agents.At that time, the agent had the least status, not as good as the club or the players.

Even some agents just helped the players negotiate a good salary, and it didn't take long for the players to kick the agent out.As a result of the broker's painstaking negotiations, he didn't get his share.Therefore, there are many lawsuits between agents and players, all because the players are not very happy to pay their agents.

However, after the Bosman Act, the strength of agents has greatly increased, which has changed this way of playing.Players no longer give their agents a share at the end of each season, how embarrassing that is.The slightly stronger players now pass on this part of their salary to the club.After the club signs a contract with the player, it will be directly assigned to the agent according to the amount of the contract.

Just like the five-year contract signed by Li Yuxin and Arsenal four years ago with a total value of 700 million euros in salary plus bonuses, Mendes' salary share is not calculated every year.Instead, within six months after signing the contract, Arsenal gave Mendes a direct salary share of 135 million euros.And if Li Yuxin talks about another contract during this period, Mendes will also take his own salary share from the new contract.

Therefore, it can be said that the current clubs are more difficult than they used to be.Don't just look at how much transfer fee is used, in fact, the transfer fee is just the beginning.For example, when Arsenal bought Rosicky, the transfer fee cost 1000 million euros, but this was only the first payment.Immediately afterwards, Arsenal had to pay the agent a commission and give Rosicky a signing bonus, so that it could exceed 300 million euros.Adding Rosicky's four-year contract amount, that's a contract of 2000 million euros.Then after signing the contract, the club will also give his agent a share of the contract amount based on the contract value.And this is not over yet, if there are other additional terms in the contract, then you will need to continue to pay in the future.Of course, if you want to keep Rosicky after two or three years, you still need to pay Rosicky's agent a commission and sign Rosicky's signing bonus.

Not to mention the later things, just for Rosicky alone, if Rosicky fulfills this contract, Arsenal will have to pay 4000 million euros at least.This is the least. In fact, during this process, Arsenal only spent more money because of Rosicky, not less.

In addition to the salary share, from Li Yuxin's first contract, Mendes can get a lot of commission every time he signs a contract.Li Yuxin has signed three contracts so far, and the commission alone has exceeded 600 million euros.In addition, Li Yuxin has a loyalty bonus, and Mendes can get 100 million euros for each year of the five-year contract.It has been nearly four years now, and Mendes has also received 400 million euros.

And Li Yuxin's commercial value is very high, after all, he is the banner of Arsenal.Many people think that he is another golden boy in England after Owen.It is precisely because of the high profits brought to Mendes that Mendes is more cautious.

"Contract renewal? It's time to talk about contract renewal."

Mendes nodded. After this season, Li Yuxin has only one year left on his contract.And the most important thing is that Li Yuxin's performance is getting better and better, but the contract time is getting less and less.Arsenal is completely passive here, and Mendes has complete initiative.Mendes looked at Gazidis and said, "Sir, Lee won't be 24 in a month, but his performance this season is already at the superstar level. I think Cristiano's salary can be used as a reference."

Gazidis and Wenger exchanged views with their eyes, and then both of them had dignified expressions.Li Yuxin is the golden boy of Arsenal, the banner of Arsenal, and he is the king of Arsenal this season.The two of them really wanted to keep Li Yuxin.Now listening to what Mendes meant, they realized that Mendes really had a big appetite.

What is the salary of Cristiano Ronaldo, that is an annual salary of 1000 million euros after tax.He is enjoying the Beckham bill, so their club only needs to spend about 800 million euros a year to support him.But Li Yuxin does not enjoy the Beckham Act. If the annual salary after tax is 500 million euros, then Arsenal will have to pay more than [-] million euros a year in expenses.This is not a small amount.

After all, Arsenal is not Real Madrid. Real Madrid can spend 2000 million euros a year to support a superstar, or even several superstars.But it is not so easy for Arsenal to spend 500 million euros a year to raise a superstar.But Gazidis doesn't want Li Yuxin to transfer, so he needs to carefully consider the gains and losses in all aspects.

"Mendez, I think we can talk slowly."

"Okay. I need to talk to Li too, maybe he has bigger ambitions."

"Li, you did a good job. The Bernabeu was captured by you this season."

Li Yuxin will be 24 years old in another month. This season, he has become the most deterrent striker in the Premier League and the Champions League.After playing Real Madrid, Li Yuxin has already scored [-] goals in the Champions League. This is the season that Li Yuxin scored the most goals after entering the Arsenal first team.The important thing is that there are still games that have not been played in the current season. According to the current state, at the end of the season, it should not be very difficult for Li Yuxin to score [-] or [-] goals in all games.

In the current European football, only Messi and Ronaldo can compare with Li Yuxin's scoring efficiency.The top scorer in La Liga should be the two of them competing.However, the reason for Li Yuxin's outbreak is mainly because the defensive counterattack style designed by Wenger and Ji Dong is very suitable for Li Yuxin's characteristics.If it is playing oppressive football, Li Yuxin may not score as many goals as he does now.

"It's always been a dream of mine."

Having just experienced the capture of the Bernabeu, Li Yuxin's excitement has not subsided.Back at his home, the more he thought about it, the happier he was, and the sweeter the memories.Li Yuxin is different from other current Arsenal players. He is a native of Arsenal.Their family has always been Arsenal fans. Li Yuxin {before possessing body} himself was also an Arsenal fan since he was a child. He was a treasure in the hearts of Arsenal fans when he debuted from the youth academy.

It can be said that every step of Li Yuxin in Arsenal is listening to the applause of Arsenal fans and walking with flowers from Arsenal fans. Therefore, for Li Yuxin, Arsenal is his home.What makes Arsenal fans most angry is that Real Madrid always seduces Li Yuxin. Arsenal fans dream of kicking Real Madrid down.

The same goes for Li Yuxin.He has always hoped to capture the Bernabeu and let himself and the Arsenal fans vent their anger.

"Li, I don't know if it's appropriate to talk about it with you now. But now it's necessary to talk about it. I hope it won't affect your current state."

"whats the matter?"

Li Yuxin had some doubts.Since I met Mendes seven years ago, Mendes seems to be in control of everything.Until now, Li Yuxin still trusts Mendes very much, because after Mendes became Li Yuxin's agent, Li Yuxin's income is the highest level among players of the same age.

It should be said that it is not only the same age group, but in the whole of Europe, it is estimated that there are many years of superstars such as Ronaldo and Messi.At present, no one can compare with Li Yuxin's income.Li Yuxin's annual after-tax income is more than 600 million euros. For example, because of Li Yuxin's outstanding performance this year, next year's income is likely to be 3000 million euros.This kind of income can almost enter the top five in the current world football player income list.

The few players who have been able to overwhelm Li Yuxin until now are either business leaders like Beckham, or players with the highest wages in world football like Ronaldinho and Henry.

Maybe it's because he's used to seeing Mendes' confident appearance all these years, but now seeing Mendes hesitating to speak, Li Yuxin is very puzzled.What kind of things make Mendes feel difficult to say.

"The contract we signed with Arsenal four years ago will expire next summer. Now I have a lot of invitations in my hands, but Arsene and Gazidis are also starting to ask about renewal. I need to discuss such a big matter with you and see your opinion."

Now it is said that the strength of the agent has greatly increased, but compared with the end of the 90s, the strength of the agent is much worse. In the 90s, there were many broker predators who took advantage of the Bosman Act.They don't care what their players want.How to make money.How they come.They don't even care what the players think.As long as they can earn money and sign contracts with clubs privately, there are not a few.

Of course, such a broker does not end well.Anyway, they have basically disappeared now, and it can almost be said that they have made a one-shot deal.Agents who can do business for a long time are basically people who know how to deal with players.For such a big matter as a transfer, even if Mendes really has any ideas, the method of choice will basically be to persuade his own players.

As for some players who are not strong enough.Then there is no way.In this world, only strength is recognized. Without strength, there is no right to equal dialogue.Although Mendes can be regarded as a better agent for his own players, at most he cares about those powerful players who can bring obvious benefits to Mendes.Those who are not strong enough are not qualified to negotiate terms with Mendes at all. Mendes was a little more domineering when they transferred.

"Jorge, I never thought about leaving Arsenal."

Li Yuxin felt amused and a little surprised.Although Li Yuxin is confused, he has not thought about this issue now. His physical body has been an Arsenal fan since he was a child, he started in the Arsenal youth training camp when he was less than 12 years old, and he started playing in the Arsenal first team when he was less than 17 years old.Although he is not yet 24 years old, he has already played more than 200 games for Arsenal.Also scored more than 100 goals.Arsenal is his home and he never thought of leaving Arsenal.Isn't it a good thing that Arsenal are now taking the initiative to talk about contract renewal?
"Li, although Arsenal are doing well now, the stage is too small after all."

Although Arsenal are in the Premier League giants.But after so many years of development, Arsenal's influence is not as good as it was back then.

Not to mention that Arsenal won a Premier League title, even if Arsenal won another Champions League title, their appeal would be limited.Just like the current Arsenal won the Champions League this season, it will definitely not make Arsenal become a giant alongside Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United.On the contrary, whether they can retain half of the players from this season next season is a question.Because by that time, good players have long been robbed by European tyrants and local tyrants.

Because of something, because Arsenal have no money right now.Although Arsenal is backed by a consortium and has high income, Arsenal has to repay the loan for its own income.You can't raise salaries without money, and if the salaries are not high, the players will leave.That's the biggest reason.

Look at Tottenham, he hasn't achieved anything for many years.In the past ten years, Tottenham's performance is far inferior to clubs such as Deportivo, Valencia, Villarreal, and Dortmund.But he is able to attract players, there is no other reason, only one.That is, Tottenham has money and can offer high wages.

"I like championships, so I also thought about winning championships at other clubs. But now that Arsenal has the strength to win championships, why should I leave?"

Hearing Li Yuxin's words, Mendes was surprised.mendez clear
Although Mendes was asking Li Yuxin what he meant, Mendes always believed that Li Yuxin himself should want to go out and make a fortune, especially to the super giants.Of course, Mendes also hopes that Li Yuxin will leave. If he stays in a club for too long, the agent's income will not be high.Once a star of Li Yuxin's level is transferred, his worth must be more than 4000 million euros, and the commission will be very considerable at that time.

Do you really think so? "

"kindness."

Li Yuxin nodded, and then asked in confusion: "You want me to transfer?"

"I've always thought so. You and Cristiano, two of the best strikers in Europe after Ronaldo, should both go to big clubs to pursue a bigger stage. I never thought you would stay at Arsenal forever. I thought you thought so too."

Mendes is telling the truth.

"I like Arsenal. I can win titles here too."

"Well, I respect your choice."

Mendez nodded.Although he didn't understand why, Mendes respected Li Yuxin's choice.Since Li Yuxin wants to be Arsenal's loyal minister, Mendes will fulfill him, although Mendes doesn't really believe it.Because even if Li Yuxin wants to be a loyal minister of Arsenal, when a club offers a high enough price, Arsenal will not let Li Yuxin be a loyal minister.

But now, Mendes still has to make plans for Li Yuxin.Mendes thought for a while and said: "In this case, you don't have to think about anything. If you want to stay, Arsenal has to stay if they don't want to. If you want to leave, Arsenal can't stay if they want to. You don't care about this matter. When you are interviewed outside, don't talk too much about the contract issue. Just push everything on me."

Even if he stays, if Arsenal doesn't give him enough salary, Mendes won't let it go.Mendes will definitely procrastinate in the past few months, and Mendes' initiative will not be so great until next season.

With one year left on the contract, Mendes will do what he says.Mendes' request is simple, that is, Li Yuxin's salary should be equal to that of Henry and Ronaldinho.As the banner of Arsenal, he is entitled to such a salary.

"I believe you."

Li Yuxin only cares about playing football, and handed over other matters to Mendes.And Mendes hasn't let him down once.

"Then wait for my good news. I will negotiate the best contract for you."

Although the transfer was not as he expected, and he was a little disappointed, Mendes didn't care too much.
