I Want to Be the King of Football

The new official took office three fires.

Javier Subirac has just assumed the post of general manager of Valencia, and he is not ready to set fire to it, but he is already in a daze.

There are so many things that he needs to worry about in the transition of the entire management team.

The transfer market has already opened, and there is not much time left for Subirac to operate. In particular, Sudong, who is favored by coach Benitez, has been enthusiastically pursued by Deportivo and Sevilla. very urgent.

Subirac called Mendez almost every day, but the Portuguese agent was very good on the phone, but he was nowhere to be seen, but he suddenly appeared in Seville two days ago, and was frightened. Benitez called again to urge.

Valencia's new general manager is so worried that his hair is almost gray.

Even more frightening is that just yesterday, Subirats was connected to two phone calls.

One is from the president of Nike Europe, and the other is from Toyota of Japan.

These two companies are both major financial sponsors of Valencia. One is a jersey sponsor and the other is a chest advertising sponsor. They are the largest source of Valencia's income, contributing more than 10 million euros to the team each year.

As a result, the two major sponsors are concerned about one thing at the same time, and that is whether Su Dong can transfer to Valencia?

Subirats answered them on the phone, likely, but working on it.

The president of Nike Europe said that they want to see Sudong join Valencia. If the deal is successful, they are willing to pay an additional sponsorship fee to Valencia every year as a reward for operating Sudong's joining.

Sudong is a player we signed, and we don't want to see him in our boots playing for a team sponsored by a competitor, especially Adidas.

Toyota of Japan revealed a message that they have always wanted to sign Su Dong as their global promotion ambassador, but they have never been able to negotiate, and this time if Su Dong joins Valencia, they hope that Valencia will able to make it happen.

He is the pride of us Asians!

The two major donors called at the same time, which made Subirats realize the value of Sudong further.

Not just on the field, but also the commercial value off the field.

then,

He called Mendes again overnight.

...

The time was set in the morning, but Mendes was late until nearly noon.

Subirac knew that he had flown in from Barcelona early in the morning.

Looking at the high-spirited Portuguese agent in front of him, Subirac was full of emotion.

This summer, Mendes is the most popular agent in European football, and his players Sudong, Ronny and Quaresma are all the darlings in the European transfer market.

Now that Ronnie has gone to Manchester United and Quaresma has almost joined Barcelona, ​​Mendes's ability to function is evident.

Jorge, you are really busy, it's not easy to meet you.

Seeing Mendes entering the door, Subirac smiled and got up to meet him.

It's all busy, and I don't know if it will work or not. Mendes was modest.

The two sat down as host and guest, and after a few words of greeting, the topic gradually entered the topic.

We want to sign Su Dong, you know that, and I want to know, what is the biggest obstacle now? Subirats asked with concern.

Mendes looked deeply at the Valencia legend and had to admit that the former Subirac was just a simple celebrity, but now he is in his position, seeking his political affairs, and has the temperament of a manager. .

Sudong is also very happy to join Valencia. Mendes said with a smile.

That's Sporting Lisbon? Subirac asked again.

Mendes shook his head, As long as you give a reasonable transfer fee, Sporting Lisbon is not a problem.

The Portuguese Super League itself makes a living by selling players and will not prevent Su Dong from transferring at all.

With Mendes' status in Portuguese football today, he said that it is not a problem, and there must be no problem with Sbon Sporting.

Does that mean that we can start substantive negotiations? Subirac's tone was a little hurried.

Mendes smiled and nodded, Anytime.

At this moment, Subirats finally understood why there was news from the UK not long ago that after Ferguson had contact with Mendes, he was not very interested in him, because the agent was too shrewd.

He was so shrewd that it seemed that his every move, and even what was on his mind, were clearly guessed by him.

This made Subirac, who was in charge of Valencia for the first time, feel that he was standing in front of Mendes as if he had no clothes on.

I wonder what Su Dong thinks about joining Valencia? Subirac was most concerned about this.

He wants to play and be reused.

This is no problem. Benitez mentioned his interest and optimism in Sudong more than once, internally and externally. He will become one of the most valuable players in the team. I can guarantee this.

As an agent, I hope that this commitment of yours will be reflected in the contract.

Of course. Subirats replied cheerfully.

This represents the sincerity of Valencia.

...

Subsequently, the two began to enter the initial negotiation according to the specific contract.

Even though Su Dong is only eighteen years old, in fact, there are a lot of interests involved behind him.

His annual sponsorship income is no less than that of those first-tier stars. Big-name sponsors include giants such as Nike and Pepsi, so there are many details to be negotiated during contract negotiations.

Don't expect Valencia to get involved in Sudong's portrait rights. It is impossible to make concessions, but there are many possibilities for the two sides to jointly develop the commercial value of Sudong, so Mendes is also very keen on this.

In terms of personal treatment, Valencia has given sincerity, and the annual salary after tax has reached two million euros.

This belongs to the first echelon in the Valencia team.

An 18-year-old teenager can earn an annual salary of 2 million euros after tax, which is rare in European football. It is estimated that apart from a few geniuses, Su Dong should be one of the highest annual salary.

Within Valencia, Su Dong's annual salary is not the highest, but it is normal. The age and qualifications are there. Valencia is not a local team. It is impossible to give Su Dong the highest salary all at once, and he must stay. A little room for a raise.

However, under Mendes's struggle, Valencia agreed to add a clause to the contract, that is, if Sudong leaves Valencia in the future, if the transfer fee is higher than this transfer, Sudong will be able to get it. Twenty percent.

This is not unacceptable for Valencia.

With this clause added, Su Dong will definitely act more diligently.

In addition, Valencia will also pay Sudong a signing fee of 1.5 million euros.

In return, the contract is up to five years and the liquidated damages will exceed 100 million yuan, which will be the highest liquidated damages contract in Valencia's history.

Mendes and Subirac basically reached an agreement on some important terms of the contract, but there are still many details to be scrutinized, and even professional lawyers need to be present to participate in the research, which requires both parties to make an appointment and arrange for someone to be present. negotiation.

...

Mendes had a big smile on his face as he walked out of Valencia's Mestagna, as bright as the sun in Valencia.

This summer, all three of his players landed in the four major leagues as they wished.

Sudong is about to join Valencia, Ronnie went to Manchester United, Quaresma also basically signed with Barcelona, ​​and Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt tridents have all successfully transferred, which will bring huge transfer fees to Sporting Lisbon.

Among these three players, Su Dong's transfer fee is actually the highest.

Valencia hopes to sign Sudong for 10 million euros, after deducting Mendes' rake, Sporting Lisbon will receive 9 million euros, which is the actual transfer fee received by the Green Lions.

Ronnie's transfer fee is not low, but Sporting Lisbon's actual hand is estimated to be seven or eight million, and Quaresma is even less. Barcelona is only willing to pay him a transfer fee of seven million euros, deducting commissions and other Various fees, up to 6 million euros in hand.

Of course, Valencia is not rich, they have to pay in installments.

But these are not things Mendes need to worry about, Valencia and Sporting Lisbon will arrange their own people to negotiate.

After walking out of the Mestania Stadium and getting in the car, Mendes called Su Dong, who was far away in Shanghai, China.

It's settled! I'll go look at the house for you!

…………

…………

After receiving the call from Mendes, Su Dong felt a lot more relaxed.

For a professional player, a transfer is definitely an important event that can change his life. Only when the dust settles can he let go of his burden and focus on preparing for the new season.

Now Su Dong still has a redemption voucher for the star ability card, which is the reward for winning the double champion of the UEFA Cup and the Portuguese Super League, but he has not yet decided what to exchange.

He wants to wait until Europe, join a new team, and get familiar with the situation before going to the exchange.

Before that happens, however, there is something long planned that needs to get started.

Nuno, you said earlier that you want to form a team, now you can start.

Although Nuno Cruz has trained Su Dong quite well, he is only one person, and he is better at theory and data analysis at the same time.

Not long ago, he suggested that Su Dong hire a professional physical trainer, a professional physiotherapist and a nutrition expert.

These three people will help Sudong from various aspects such as training, physiotherapy and diet nutrition, while Nuno Cruz will still be in charge of the overall situation and tailor the training plan for Sudong.

If it is in Lisbon, Su Dong will definitely hesitate, after all, the team's expenses are not small.

But after signing with Valencia, Su Dong could fully afford the annual salary of 2 million euros after tax.

Nuno Cruz was also very happy, nodding, I'll start preparing right away.

...

And Su Dong did not expect that, almost at the same time, in Valencia, Benitez also got the same news.

The excited Bat Legion coach is also starting to prepare a gift for him.

He believed that Su Dong would be very satisfied.
