The green devil

After watching the European Cup final, Zhao Yang didn't stay in Paris, and went back to Barcelona directly the next day.

During the period of returning home for vacation, Zhao Yang's agency was not idle, they negotiated three endorsement contracts for Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang came to Barcelona one week in advance, in addition to completing the signing contract with the Espanyol team, he also participated in the endorsement activities of these three companies.

It has been less than a month since the start of the UEFA Champions League qualifying match. Both sides lost patience and decided to sign the contract before the start of the training camp.

After Zhao Yang returned to Barcelona, ​​he did not take the initiative to contact the Espanyol club. He first signed the endorsement contract that the brokerage company had negotiated for him, and then participated in the Hawkers company's new sunglasses release conference, and then went to see the house with the agent Martinez. , ready to buy a big house of his own in Barcelona.

During this period, rumors about Zhao Yang's transfer emerged endlessly, which finally made the Espanyol club realize the reality, knowing that Zhao Yang is still in the rising stage of his career, and the initiative is in Zhao Yang's hands. There will be long nights and many dreams.

The day before the team's training camp started, the Spaniard finally agreed to give Zhao Yang 50.00% of the portrait rights, with an annual salary of 500 million euros, and the signing fee was increased to 200 million euros.

The contract renewal with the Espanyol club did not go well, which made Zhao Yang feel a little unhappy.

As the top scorer in La Liga and the hero of the Spaniard's entry into the Champions League, Zhao Yang believes that he deserves special treatment. The spats of the Spaniard's executives and Boss Chen made him feel that he has not received enough attention.

However, when the agent Martinez gave Zhao Yang the Spaniard's draft contract, Zhao Yang's mood instantly improved a lot.

It’s not just about money, the signing fee of 100 million was added, and the portrait right was increased by 30.00%. This is certainly a lot of money, but in the past few days, the endorsement contract signed by Zhao Yang is also worth more than [-] million euros , this little money is not very important to Zhao Yang; the important thing is the attitude of the Espanyol club towards him, which makes Zhao Yang feel respected.

The Espanyol club was willing to spend money, Zhao Yang was happy, and the contract renewal became very simple.

Martinez still wanted to procrastinate and continue to squeeze the Spaniard, but Zhao Yang flatly refused. He indicated that the training camp would start soon, and there was no need to involve the club too much energy on the issue of contract renewal, and the contract could be signed.

Since Martinez and the brokerage company did not pay enough attention to Zhao Yang at the beginning, the contract signed by the two parties did not restrict Zhao Yang much, so Zhao Yang's attitude towards the brokerage company was very strong, and Martinez did not dare to have too much of his attitude.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are all waiting, although these two giants may not be able to give him now The main position, but Real Madrid's Ronaldo is 31 years old, Messi is 29 years old, and Zhao Yang is just 23 years old. He has time to wait for these two superstars to grow old.But Zhao Yang chose to stay with the Spaniards. This is really a mysterious operation. Is the brain structure of Huaguo people really different? "

"World Sports Daily" commented: "This is the big news in the summer transfer market. The whereabouts of La Liga's top scorer Zhao Yang has finally been settled. He chose to renew his contract with the Espanyol. This is definitely an unexpected choice. But it is definitely not a wise choice. It is said that the annual salary offered by the Espanyol team is not higher than the bids from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so if we can give up Real Madrid and Barcelona and stay with the Espanyol team, we can only say that this is true love.”

Influential French "L'Equipe", German "Bild" and British "Guardian" also commented on Zhao Yang's contract renewal.
