Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

European football agent Jorge Mendes first negotiated the transfer details with Wolfsburg on behalf of Porto, and then negotiated personal treatment with Wolfsburg on behalf of Martin.

At present, FIFA has not issued a policy to inhibit agents from representing two or even three-party transfers. Clubs are accustomed to this and are not surprised.

In order to buy their favorite players, many teams try to avoid offending them as much as possible.

However, Mendes did a good job in dealing with people and did not cause discomfort to Wolfsburg.

Although Martin is only a U19 player at the Porto Youth Academy, Mendes helped Martin get very good treatment.

Of course, if you want to get this salary, you still need to make a certain contribution.

Before that, it was the guaranteed playing time and salary that the two parties had agreed upon.

With the agreement of Wolfsburg head coach Dieter Heijing, Martin will play no less than 2014 minutes in the 2015-500 season, but is not limited to the Bundesliga, including the German Cup and the Europa League.

This means that even if you play 45 minutes per game, you can still play 11 games.

The specific arrangement of the game time will be solely responsible for the head coach Heijing.

Next, there's Martin's salary.

50 million euros.

Unless otherwise agreed, the annual salary is before tax.

It can be understood that 50 euros before tax is Martin's non-liability basic salary at Wolfsburg, which is paid to the bank card of the cooperative bank on a monthly basis.

The annual salary of 50 euros before tax is lower than the average annual salary in the Bundesliga, but it is already a very high salary for a player who has not played in a professional league.

And that’s not counting various bonuses.

2014-2015赛季上场时间超过500分钟，但没有达到1000分钟，年薪上浮到70万欧元。

That is to say, according to the contract, for every additional 500 minutes of Martin's playing time, the basic annual salary will increase by a fixed amount of 20 euros, until the cap is 180 million euros.

也就是说1500分钟90万欧元，2000分钟110万欧元，2500分钟130万欧元。

When the game time reaches 3000 minutes, the basic annual salary will no longer increase and will directly reach 180 million euros.

When the pre-tax annual salary reaches the cap stage stipulated in the contract, it also means that Martin becomes Wolfsburg's absolute main force, and the annual salary is just above the Bundesliga average.

Wolfsburg's willingness to offer an incremental annual salary also has something to do with the management not believing that Martin will reach the point of increase.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and the large intestine wraps around the small intestine.

But regardless of the final guaranteed annual salary before tax, if the annual salary in Germany exceeds 104303 euros, the personal tax rate is 45%, which means you get almost a half discount.

In addition, there are bonuses for goals and assists.

For example, a bonus of 1 euros for a goal in an official game and a bonus of 5000 euros for an assist.

As for the appearance fee, Martin has not played in a professional league yet and is not in a position to negotiate, and Mendes has not insisted on it.

After some thought about the signing fee, I gave him a symbolic 10 euros.

Martin is not too little, because the amount of the signing fee is related to the player's worth.

But what is the worth of a young player who has just been promoted from U17 to U19?

After negotiating individual bonuses, the next step is bonuses for team honors and personal honors.

For example, in the 2014-2015 season, if Wolfsburg wins the third place, second place or championship in the Bundesliga, Martin will be paid the fixed bonus agreed upon.

€5, €10 and €30.

There is a bonus for reaching the finals of the domestic cup competition, the DFB-Pokal, and the Europa League semi-finals, finals or champions have corresponding detailed bonus terms.

The buyer is not a charity. If Martin wants to get the bonus, he must also meet the playing time stipulated in the contract.

In terms of personal honors, such as the European Golden Boy Award, Bundesliga assists king, Bundesliga best player, FIFA Ballon d'Or, Puskas Award, etc...

Although many awards are highly unlikely to be won, Mendes won them all for Martin.

The personal terms were reached and both parties signed a contract for 4 years.

There are three supplementary agreements.

The first is that Porto Football Club has a 20% share of secondary transfers.

The second is that if Martin establishes his main position in the 2014-2015 season, he will have the opportunity to negotiate a new contract next summer.

The third is that if a wealthy team wants to buy Martin, Wolfsburg must not set up transfer obstacles for any reason if the price is right.

Regarding the additional supplementary agreement, Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has no objection. Anyway, it is a little demon bought for 100 million euros. Head coach Heijing also recognizes Martin’s potential and treats it as a lottery ticket. .

No matter how many bells and whistles there are, you have to perform well to fulfill them.

It's like setting an after-tax annual salary of tens of millions of euros. If you fail to meet the predetermined conditions, doesn't it mean that there is no setting?

If the setting conditions are met, the value will inevitably skyrocket, and future transfer fees will bring back the investment with interest!

It was this thought that made Klaus Allofs feel a little regretful in the future.

Closer to home, Mendes negotiated the personal treatment contract with Wolfsburg on behalf of Martin, and immediately took a flight back to Porto to take charge of the specific matters of Martin's transfer.

Since the 2014-2015 Bundesliga season is about to start, Martin must go to Wolfsburg within three days to participate in team training.

Time is very tight, but Martin does not neglect it. He will still spare at least one hour of extra practice every day to ensure that the achievements of extra practice for a consecutive season are not interrupted.

On the other side, the sadness of parting is also playing out in Porto’s youth training base.

U17 training ground.

Players were very reluctant to leave Martin, especially Felix, Dalot and Diogo Costa.

The three of them thought that they would never be able to practice with Martin again, and their expressions of sadness were palpable.

After all, they are just 15-year-old teenagers.

We spend many days together, and we have the same chemistry. Men's friendship is often very simple.

Martin's mental age is 30+, and he feels a little reluctant to give up.

But if you don’t want to leave, you still have to say goodbye when you leave.

Looking at Felix Dalot and Diogo Costa who pursed their lips sadly, Martin said solemnly: "My career is about to start, and one day it will be your turn too. If you want to complete your career, To dream, you have to work harder, I left, I hope you can persevere and persevere as the situation allows, come on!"

Saying goodbye to his teammates one by one, Martin walked towards head coach Simon and his assistants.

"Coach, thank you for your care and careful cultivation over the past two years. My achievements today are inseparable from you. Here I wish you to cultivate more stars of hope and realize your coaching dreams as soon as possible."

Martin smiled and hugged the coaching staff.

Immediately, he walked to the U19 training ground under the reluctant eyes of everyone.

Compared to the U17 training ground, there is no special emotion at the U19 training ground. Except for the former U17 youth team teammates who have had a lot of exchanges in the past few days, most of them have no feelings.

However, for the vast majority of players in the U19 youth team, Martin's departure makes them more yearning for their future careers.

There are two ways to leave the youth team. One is to be terminated if there is no training value. The other is to join a professional team on loan or transfer and become a real professional player.

Head coach Joao Bran did not disclose Martin's future, but the Porto Youth Academy is a big group, and there will always be news if there is a slight disturbance.

Therefore, I vaguely heard that Martin will not participate in the Portuguese U2014 Youth League with the team in the 2015-19 season, but will transfer to an upstream team in the five major European leagues.

Every one of them is nothing but envious.

Saying goodbye to the U19 coaching staff, it was only 11 o'clock in the morning. He hailed a taxi at the entrance of the Vitalia Park training base and headed to the training base in Boavista.

Affected by the club's funds, the youth training teams of this Portuguese Super League team share training bases with the first team.

It took about half an hour to drive there, and the morning training of the Boa Vista U19 youth team had just ended.

Martin didn't wait long when he saw Wei Shaohao running out: "Brother Ma, why did you come to me suddenly?"

"Say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye?"

Wei Shaohao raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure about the transfer?"

"Yes, the club has agreed to Wolfsburg's offer, and my agent has also negotiated a personal contract. I will fly to Hannover tonight and then take the train to Wolfsburg for a physical examination tomorrow morning."

Martin patted Wei Shaohao, who looked dull: "Sooner or later, you will have this day. Think about it, you have already broken up with the Football Association, and there is no way out. Isn't the daily effort just to look like a person? Train hard, I believe Sooner or later you will be recognized by the first team or other teams and create your own world in the European arena!"

"Can I?"

"Of course!"

Martin looked into Wei Shaohao's eyes and nodded solemnly.

Wei Shaohao felt the trust from Martin, and there was a hint of determination in his slightly inferior eyes.

I can too!

……

Martin's last stop in Porto was in an ordinary neighborhood in Porto, where he had an early dinner with Miguel Mario and Clara Ana.

The adoptive parents worked in Porto and said they did not want to live a retirement life too early. They declined Martin's invitation and said they wanted to stay in Porto to live their life together.

This is not the first time Martin has traveled far away. Miguel Mario and his wife did not show much reluctance. They wished Martin more success in his career.

However, when packing the luggage, Miguel Mario, who had always been indifferent, took the initiative to help pack the clothes for the first time and kept reminding him of various matters.

Clara Anna was busy in the kitchen and might actually make Martin some hometown specialty - Pont de Morrow bread.
