My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

"Besides, you have too many big-name Portuguese internationals at your disposal. You are not the right player for me."

Mendes was speechless. Lin Chen was right.

He had no intention of distributing the resources evenly. He just wanted to sign Lin Chen, the popular guy, and then make more money from him.

Raiola on the other side didn't ask anything, but just got up and left calmly. For things that he couldn't control, Raiola would never lower his head to ask for them.

For all players, Raiola will only send out an invitation once, and if rejected, there will never be a second request.

Mendes followed Raiola closely and left, looking extremely regretful. He understood how huge the potential market for Lin Chen was.

Barnett and Lin Chen were the only ones left in the room. Barnett held a cigar in his mouth but did not light it.

Then he took out another one and handed it to Lin Chen. After Lin Chen took it, he asked:

"Why not light it?"

Barnett smiled, holding a cigar between his teeth, and spoke vaguely.

“Rich people never smoke cigars, but rich people must hold cigars in their mouths.”

"Young man, believe me, you will soon understand what this means."

Barnett took out the cooperation contract in black and white, which he had printed out in advance.

"I will be your agent in all negotiations, but you have the right to propose your own price. I will do my best to help you reach your price."

"I will not take any commission from your signing fee or salary. All my extra expenses will be borne by the other party in the negotiation. Your interests are your interests and have nothing to do with me."

After a quick look, Lin Chen confirmed that everything was correct and signed his name. A three-year agency contract was reached with the option to renew for another three years.

Seeing Lin Chen signing, Barnett finally felt relieved.

"I will start to make preliminary contacts with Liverpool FC, but from what we can see so far, you have only played two games, and it is a bit difficult to get a first-team contract."

"But in the next game, when we face our absolute rival Manchester United, if you can still perform well, I promise you that I will definitely help you get a first-team contract."

Barnett had done his research a long time ago and found that it was indeed difficult for a young man who had only played two games to get a first-team contract.

But Lin Chen has received so much attention and his performance is indeed outstanding.

In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face their arch-rivals Manchester United. If Lin Chen can perform as well as he did in the first two games, he will definitely leave a deeper impression on Liverpool fans.

If you have the hearts of the people, you have everything. Barnett will then be able to take this opportunity to help Lin Chen ask Liverpool for a real first-team contract.

The weekly salary of the first-team contract, no matter how low it is, is more than 10 times Lin Chen's current weekly salary in the youth training contract.

Lin Chen's income will achieve a substantial leap in growth!

The two stayed in the room and continued their conversation. Barnett didn't say much, but every word he said was always to the point.

And his tone is always so calm and low, with the accent of an authentic old British man.

Barnett’s idea was very clear. As long as Lin Chen could put on the same outstanding performance against Manchester United, he would be confident that he could help Lin Chen negotiate a first-team contract. Therefore, Lin Chen devoted himself to preparations.

Klopp and Kravitz were in a dilemma at this time, because Klopp began to hesitate whether he should let Lin Chen start in the Red Derby.

Kravitz, who originally did not support Lin Chen as the starting player, suddenly changed his mind and began to support Lin Chen to continue to start.

"We need his creativity and interception in the midfield. He can attack or defend. He performed perfectly in the last game!"

Klopp nodded, but then shook his head:

"But we are talking about the Reds derby, one of the most popular derbies, and he is only 17 years old. I am worried..."
