Chapter 49 New Sponsorship Contract

After the end of the season, Kufre found Lin Fenglei. He expressed his desire to retire to Lin Fenglei, because he is now 35 years old and has rarely played in this season. In the limited playing time, he also found that he is unable to do it now. Now that Kufre has won the Champions League in Gosau, which he has never thought of, he has no motivation to continue to play, and the young full-backs in the team have grown up, so he is not going to hold on any longer.

Lin Fenglei thought for a moment and said, "Leandro, what are your plans after retirement?"

Kufre shook his head: "Well, I don't have any plans for the time being. Maybe I'll go back to Argentina to rest for a while."

Lin Fenglei said, "Since you have no plans, if you want, you can be a coach at the Gosho Club. I think you will be a good defensive coach. I will be very happy if you can teach the defenders of the Gosho team to be as brave and tenacious as you. What do you think of this proposal?

Kufre thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. I also like it here, so I agree with your proposal."

Lin Fenglei said happily, "Well, let's go to China for a vacation in a few days. When you come back, the club will give you a coaching contract.

Smith also found Lin Fenglei. He said that Nike's senior management found himself impatiently after all the games of the Gosho team. This time, they directly proposed a sponsorship fee of 15 million euros per year and signed a 15-year contract.

Lin Fenglei smiled and asked, "What other teams does Nike sponsor?"

Smith said without thinking, "Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Juventus, these are the main ones."

"What are their sponsorship fees?"

"Manchester United is 35 million euros per year, Barcelona is 30 million euros per year, Inter Milan is 14 million euros per year, Arsenal is 15 million euros per year, and Juventus is 10 million euros per year."

"That's good. The price we offered is the same as that of Arsenal. They think highly of us. But why is Juventus so low? Lin Fenglei smiled playfully.

"Their contract has been adjusted during the 'telephone door' period, but it is estimated that it will rise after two consecutive championships in Serie A. In addition, Manchester United is also negotiating with Nike to sign a new contract. The details of the new contract are not clear, but it will not be less than 40 million euros per year.

"What about the sponsorship fee level of other famous teams and jersey suppliers?"

"Adidas sponsors Real Madrid for 40 million euros per year, AC Milan for about 15 million euros per year, and Chelsea for about 30 million euros per year. Liverpool's jersey supplier is Warriors Sports in the United States, and they give Liverpool 30 million euros a year. About yuan." When Smith talked about these data, it seemed that he had done a lot of homework on it.

"They are all rich." Lin Fenglei shook his head, and then he looked at Smith again: "So are there no other jersey suppliers in contact with us?"

"Adidas has also sent someone to contact us, but because we still have a contract with Nike, we can't be too specific for the time being."

"That's fine. I believe Nike won't know. Regarding this sponsorship, I have two sets of plans. The first set is 30 million euros per year; the second set is 20 million euros per year, but the sponsorship fee fluctuates according to the results. For example, a champion does not get 20% down, the league championship rises 5%, and the Champions League champion rises 20%, and the age is according to They decide. Of course, you will negotiate the specific details with them, as long as it is not lower than what I said. If you can't talk about it, you can talk about it with a few more people. I believe that there will always be people who can see the value and potential of us. It doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement this year. When our contract with Nike expires in two years, it will not be such a price at that time.

"Well, I'll talk to them according to your plan." Smith nodded: "In addition, there are also advertisements on the chest of jerseys, back advertisements, etc., and many companies come to contact us."

Lin Fenglei waved his hand: "Those are left to you to talk about, not lower than the average level of the teams you mentioned above, but if the price is not very high, the age cannot be signed too long, or it also fluctuates according to the results. You can grasp all the specific details. You just need to remember a principle, then It's better to lack than to abuse.

Smith promised to go out. Lin Fenglei leaned in his chair and smiled. It seemed that he was going to get rich this year. It was different to win the Champions League.

At present, the football team with the highest annual sponsorship fee in the world is Manchester United. Some of Manchester United's main sponsors also know that they can get 35 million euros a year from Nike. Although the specific amount of the jersey advertisement just signed with Chevrolet has not been disclosed, there are several sayings. France, some say 57 million euros a year, and some say 40 million euros a year, but one thing is certain that they can get at least the money they get from Nike from General Motors every year. These two sponsorships alone are equivalent to winning a Champions League championship every year, not to mention that they have dozens of sponsors, large and small. Well, their total sponsorship fee will be nearly 200 million euros every year.

The sponsorship fees of Real Madrid and Barcelona will not be much less than that of Manchester United. These three are also the highest among professional football clubs, and other clubs cannot be compared with them for the time being.

It's really rich, Lin Fenglei praised, but when he leads the Gosho team to win two more Champions League titles, I believe that the Gosho Club will not get less sponsorship fee than Manchester United.

At the end of the season, Lin Fenglei wants to go to China quickly, but before that, there is another thing that he can't play, that is, the TV broadcasting fee agreement between the Swiss Super League and Swiss National Sports 1 will expire at the end of this season, and the agreement will be re-signed. Therefore, the presidents of the ten Swiss Super League clubs will be present. , and raise a hand to vote on the new TV broadcasting fee agreement.

The rotating chairman of this year's Swiss professional football league is Hussler, the chairman of Basel. He called Lin Fenglei early and asked him to go to Basel in advance to participate in the show of hands. He also hinted that Lin Fenglei had something to talk about in private.

June 5 is the day of voting. Early this morning, Lin Fenglei came to Basel. The people sent by Hussler to pick up Lin Fenglei had been waiting at the railway station for a long time. As soon as Lin Fenglei arrived, he drove Lin Fenglei straight to the Basel Club.

In the car, Lin Fenglei has been thinking, what does Husler have to talk to him in private? He also vaguely guessed something, but he still needed to listen to Hussler's words face to face.

Hussler had been waiting in front of the Basel Club for a long time. As soon as Lin Fenglei's car arrived, he attentively stepped forward to open the door for Lin Fenglei. After Lin Fenglei got out of the car, he warmly hugged Lin Fenglei and said, "Welcome."

Hustler is a middle-aged man about 50 years old. He is fat, but he looks very shrewd. Lin Fenglei said with a smile, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Hustler laughed and said, "No, by the way, I also want to congratulate you on winning the Triple Crown this year. You are so young and motivated. Compared with you, I found that I was old.

Lin Fenglei said, "Thank you! But Mr. Hussler joked. You are in your prime. How can you be called old?

Hussler said, "Okay, let's not stand at the door and talk. I'll take you upstairs."

Lin Fenglei followed Husler upstairs and asked, "What's the matter with me coming here in advance today?"

Hussler said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to talk to you. In addition, several friends have also come. Everyone wants to meet together."

Lin Fenglei smiled and didn't ask anything more. The two came to a small conference room on the second floor of the Basel Club together. After entering the door, Lin Fenglei saw two middle-aged people who were about 50 years old sitting inside.
