Jorge Mendes.

A controversial name in European football.

On April 19, 2004, at the Lo restaurant, 40 kilometers north of Porto, four people were eating in a very low-key manner, but the restaurant even closed for this reason.

These four people are Chelsea boss Abramovich, CEO Kenyon, Mourinho, then Porto coach, and Mourinho agent Jorge Mendes. It is Mendes.

Mourinho originally wanted to coach Liverpool, Liverpool is his dream team, but Mendes convinced Mourinho, let him believe that London has more resources and freedom.

So in 2004, after successfully sending Cristiano Ronaldo from Atletico Lisbon to Manchester United, Mendes sent several players and Mourinho to Chelsea, while returning Porto to the largest ever income. He also completed the first burst of his career.

Since then, the name of Mendes has been known throughout Europe.

Europe has mixed opinions on this.

In the football agent industry, Mendes is a beacon for success.

In the professional player industry, many people want to sign a contract with Mendes, which means ‘maybe they can become a star’ in the future, and ‘can also be operated into the giants’.

The club-level impression of Mendes is polarized.

Those club owners and managers with poor economic conditions mostly criticize Mendes, because Mendes represents the interests of players and always strives to earn income and bonuses for players, which will definitely damage the interests of the club. They call the agent a "vampire", Mendes is a vampire among vampires, and a "tumor in football".

Those rich clubs have the opposite impression of Mendes. They think Mendes is ‘a friend that must be communicated with’. Mendes has many excellent players, and many top clubs want these players.

Newcastle United is not a giant club, they have a history of barely glorious, but the past has passed, in the eyes of most fans, they are only the Premier League second-tier club, and Tottenham Hotspur, Ever Dayton is equal, and the competitiveness is weaker than the Premier League quarter-final Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Such a team is difficult to welcome Mendes.

But it is also difficult to say.

This year's Newcastle United is a bit different. The club's equity was acquired, and the new boss Michael Ashley took office, leaving Newcastle United fans looking forward to it.

Michael Ashley runs a huge sporting goods company with annual revenue of over 100 million pounds and total assets of over 3 billion pounds.

What this class of rich people can bring to Newcastle United is indeed worth looking forward to.

Many Newcastle United fans have followed the rise of Chelsea.

They think a little bit.

Michael Ashley is a pure businessman, not a football lover, who bought Newcastle United Club only because he saw the profitability of the Premier League club.

That's all.

In investing in sports clubs, Michael Ashley still has experience. He knows that he must invest before he can continue to produce. After officially taking over the club, Ashley also has a plan to use funds. The most important job is to repay. In the past, the second point was the summer transfer.

Summer transfers are important.

When a new boss takes office and wants the support of fans, he must have a certain investment in the transfer market. Ashley has prepared funds of about 40 million pounds.

Ashley ’s statement to Allades is, “You have the leading role in the recruitment process and can decide to sign any player, but the transfer investment cannot exceed 30 million pounds.”

He set aside ten million pounds.

In fact, before Alladez took office, Newcastle United started the battle for Zhen Shaolong, and the manager of the transfer department also recommended Zhen Shaolong to Ashley.

After witnessing the UEFA Cup final in person, Allades immediately decided to sign Zhen Shaolong. Ashley also agreed with him. Whether Zhen Shaolong can adapt to the Premier League and what will happen in the future is not Ashley ’s professional work. All are handed over to Alledes and other professionals to evaluate, he only needs to consider the monetary factors involved-

What is the transfer fee?

What is the salary?

So it was Ashley himself who was negotiating with Mendes. He also belonged to an old traitor businessman, and had a few days of working with Mendes.

The focus of the negotiations between the two parties is not the transfer fee.

Mendes knew the situation of St. Pauli Club and Zhen Shaolong, and the transfer fee was basically set at 25 million euros.

This price will please St. Pauli.

The dispute between the two parties is only on the salary contract. Mendes emphasized Zhen Shaolong's strength and performance, as well as the commercial value of Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong's signing of the Pepsi and Cinderella brands is also Mendes's strength. Both signings show that the world's brand companies value him.

Mendes asked for an annual salary of 12 million pounds.

"Zhen Shaolong scored 41 league goals and is the winner of this year's European Golden Boot Award. He also scored 33 goals in the UEFA Cup."

"A striker in the world with the highest efficiency, the most recognized footwork, deserves the highest salary!"

Ashley is totally unacceptable. His bottom line is around eight million pounds. Michael Owen, who plays for Newcastle United, has an annual salary of only six million pounds. The annual salary of eight million pounds is already quite amazing. He can work with Chelsea ’s Barak Compare. (Barack ’s free transfer to Chelsea, after-tax annual salary ‘supposedly’ is 6.2 million pounds, which translates to nearly 10 million pounds before taxes)

Ashley still considers Zhen Shaolong ’s transfer fee to be ‘discounted’. If the purchase is of normal value, the club will have to pay more and it is naturally impossible to pay such a high salary.

The two sides have been deadlocked for a long time.

In the end, Mendes consulted Alice and persuaded Ashley to grind his teeth and agreed to a ten million pound contract with "one year's poor performance pay cut clause".

The term "salary reduction clause for poor performance for one year" has already become obvious. It means that if a season does not perform well, the salary will drop by a percentage, and the salary will be reduced by 20% every year.

This clause details the description of the poor performance, which means almost that, Zhen Shaolong ’s average 90-minute scoring rate is lower than one goal in three games, and the total number of goals in a single season does not exceed twelve. Salary reduction clause.

Simultaneously.

Mendes also talked about the "salary increase clause", similar to the "salary reduction clause", Zhen Shaolong's total number of goals in a single season, more than 30, will automatically activate the salary increase clause, and the annual salary increase is also 100 20/20.

The contract signing period is four years.

Use data to illustrate salary-

Zhen Shaolong continued to perform well, earning £ 10 million in the first year, £ 12 million in the second year, £ 14.40 million in the third year, £ 17.28 million in the fourth year, and £ 53.68 million in the highest four years.

Zhen Shaolong continued to perform poorly, with £ 10 million in the first year, £ 8 million in the second year, £ 6.4 million in the third year, and only £ 5.12 million in the fourth year, with a minimum total salary of £ 29.52 million.

All of the above are before tax.

Both parties were very satisfied with this contract. Next, it will be up to Zhen Shaolong to decide whether to sign the contract.

————

After hearing the details of the new contract, Zhen Shaolong felt very satisfied.

Anyone wants to make more money.

The heavyweight contract with an annual salary of tens of millions of pounds is something that I dare not think about before. The "salary increase clause" makes him more satisfied. No one is more confident than he is in his performance.

Thirty goals in a season?

If you only consider the 38 Premier League games, plus some games can not be played, it seems that there are still some difficulties, but the Premier League has two cups, the team scores better, you can participate in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, With so many games coming down, there are not too many 30 goals.

"Surely it can be achieved!"

Zhen Shaolong had the intention to agree directly, but he decided to carefully consider it, mainly to wait for the outcome of Arsenal's negotiations. Newcastle United and Arsenal made choices. He still preferred Arsenal.

This is not a "great plot".

Arsenal are the 'Five Premier League' and will be eligible to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season. The UEFA Champions League is the big stage. He also hopes to stand on the big stage quickly. In addition, he also talked carefully with Wenger , I feel Wenger is a good coach.

The news came the next day.

Arsenal are only willing to pay a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, and promised a lot of treatment. Head coach Wenger personally received Mendes, and also explained that he will value Zhen Shaolong very much.

With Wenger's permission, Mendes also made a special recording.

"He will definitely be the core force!"

"He will be the most important player in the tactical system, and I will build tactics specifically for him!"

"He will be the backbone of Arsenal's strike line in the next ten years!"

"..."

If it is an ordinary young player who has received such a warm promise from a world-famous coach and also received the top salary from the Arsenal club, he will definitely decide to join the moth.

Zhen Shaolong only felt that Wenger was 'bluffing' himself, mainly because of Newcastle United's treatment. Newcastle United is willing to come up with a four-year £ 50 million contract. Arsenal's salary has more than doubled.

Does this still need to be considered?

"Just Newcastle!"

After entangled for a whole night, Zhen Shaolong finally decided.

Alice's comment on this is, "Indeed, no one can refuse ten million annual salary, the unit is still pounds, even before tax is very attractive."

"So ... I finally have to achieve my dream of buying a sports car!"

Alice couldn't help giving Zhen Shaolong a warm kiss. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Zhen Shaolong enjoyed the tenderness, then dismissed her mouth dismissively, and secretly said, "Women are money, money, money! Buy a sports car? Buy a bag? Buy this, buy that, I chose Newcastle not because of money, but ... in order to lead Newcastle United to glory! "

"I am a great player!"

"I am a player with dreams!"

of course.

Zhen Shaolong just thought about it, and it was still okay to say it, only to secretly curse, "Damn the system, not even a B!"
