Chapter 28 Negotiation
Degan weighed repeatedly and found that a team like Tottenham Hotspur is his best choice now. Although those giants are rich and have a place in the Champions League, the lineup is basically quite complete, and he may not have so much courage to introduce him after almost two years of blank period.
However, if he really transfers to Tottenham Hotspur, his salary will definitely be reduced. This Degan is not unacceptable. He just wants to leave the abyss of Barcelona as soon as possible. After all, he is 27 years old. Although Digan is very confident in his health, he can still maintain the peak state for several years. To be honest, he I'm not sure.
After all, there are really few strikers in international football who are close to 40 years old and can maintain excellent competitive status. Most of them are Ronaldo and Cruyvit. After the age of 30, their state has declined rapidly.
Degan is now thinking about not how to leave Camp Nou with his head held high, but whether he can complete his revenge on Barcelona in his career.
"Elan! When will this matter be finalized!"
Zahavie listened to Digan's tone and knew that he couldn't wait to escape from the pit of Camp Nou: "You've decided!? Rod! You should know that if you transfer, your economic benefits will definitely be lost!"
Of course, Degan knows this. He still has a three-year contract with Barcelona, with an annual salary of 17 million euros after tax. If he transfers to Tottenham Hotspur, he will definitely not get so much, and there are sponsors. In the past two years, his sponsorship contract is not less, but once he transfers to Tottenham Hotspur, the shadow After all, the loudness is not as good as Barcelona. I'm afraid those sponsors will have something to say at that time.
Although Degan is at the lowest point of his life, he is still the player with the highest annual income in the world, nearly 100 million euros a year, of which nearly one-eighth of the sponsorship contract stands, and the second-ranked golden retriever has more than doubled by him.
If transferred, it is conservatively estimated that Degan's annual income will be reduced by at least half, and may even reach two-thirds.
As Degan's agent, Zahavi must remind Degan.
Digan had just thought about these things. He looked at Park Zhiyan sitting aside and smiled and said, "Zhiyan! If I become poor, will you still like me?"
Park Zhiyan didn't say anything, just waved her little fist at Degan with an unhappy face, which was obvious: try to fart again! Don't think I'm cute and won't lose my temper!
Digan smiled: "That~~~~~~~ No problem! It's just that your income will be reduced!"
Zahavi laughed and said, "I don't care about those either. Although it's less, I bet that you will soon become the most-paid player in the world, and then my losses will be recovered!"
The two discussed again, mainly to determine the scope of acceptable salary cuts. Although Degan has been at the lowest point in his career in the past two years, if you analyze it carefully, in fact, Degan's performance is not bad at all. In his limited playing time, he still handed over a world-class report card, but not Compared with his performance in Florence, it makes people feel that Degan is no longer good.
No!
I can't do it, sister!
"Rod! I'll give your phone number to President Levi later. There are some things that he needs to talk to you in person, but this time, I hope you can really think about it!"
The last transfer was Barcelona's chairman Russell called Degan. As a result, the two of them were directly finalized on the phone, which made Zahavi quite dissatisfied. Although Tottenham Hotspur was recommended by him this time, he still wanted to remind Degan that he had to make a decision after repeated consideration. After all, what happened in Barcelona will never happen again.
After the call with Zahavi, a strange number called. Degan motioned to Park Ji-yeon. As a result, the little girl was still angry with his bullshit and gave her a gorgeous white eye. Degan had no choice but to sit over and hold Park Zhiyan in his arms. The little girl struggled. After a while, I was obedient.
When I answered the phone, I immediately heard a voice with a London accent: "Hello! Rod! I'm Daniel. Levi is the Londoner who was said by Ferguson to have the smell of salted fish all over his body!"
When Degan heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing. Degan had heard of this matter. It happened at the beginning of this year. The cause of the incident was a young player of Manchester United, that is, Pogba, who became popular in Juventus in Juventus in the future. Tottenham Hotspur seemed to be very optimistic about this young man. The player's potential was asked to buy from Manchester United. As a result, Lafayette certainly did not agree, but he could not promise a fixed playing time for Pogba. Due to the regulations of the Football Association, players under the age of 18 could not be contacted privately without the consent of the original club, and Levi could not operate directly, but Giving up is not Levi's character.
The result was under Levi's operation. Pogba, who was not yet 18 years old and had not signed a professional contract with Manchester United, suddenly announced the dismissal, and then freely joined Lens in Ligue 1. Half a year later, that is, at the beginning of this year, he transferred to Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham got this potential without spending a penny. The powerful young man made the old Buddha speechless.
Sir Ferguson, who had an atmosphere, later said in an interview with reporters: "This is Daniel. I didn't wrong him with Levi's handwriting. Look at this damn operation. There is the smell of the stinky salted fish on his body everywhere!"
Although it was his first contact, Degan found that he appreciated Levi's way of speaking, at least not pretentious, and this self-mockery was just right and would not make people feel disgusted.
"I think Mr. Zahavi has told you. I don't know what you think of joining Tottenham Hotspur. Although Tottenham Hotspur is not as famous as Barcelona, this team is very young. We have Gareth. Bell, Luca. Modric and Raphael. Van der Fat, they are all very good players. I believe that if you can join, this team will become more competitive, and you won't encounter something like Barcelona!"
Digan also knows a lot about the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur. The reason why Digan was moved by Zahavi's recommendation is that Tottenham's current lineup is really very young and energetic.
Although Modric transferred to Real Madrid this season, if Degan really joins Tottenham, he is confident that he can persuade Modric to stay.
"Mr. Levi! I want to know what I can get if I join? In terms of economic interests, I have entrusted it to my agent. What I want to know is about competition!"
Levy didn't even think about it and said directly, "Our captain Ledley. Kim has chosen to retire and will join the team's coaching staff next, so Rod, you will become the new captain of the team, and then the team will revolve around you to rebuild the team.
Levy's promise made Degan very satisfied, but he still had another concern in his mind, that is, Tottenham's current head coach Boas.
Degan and Boas have not been in contact, but at the beginning, they had the same agent Mendes. At present, Degan and Mendes have completely torn their faces. If they join Tottenham Hotspur, will Boas give him small shoes?
"Chairman Levi!"
"Call me Daniel! Whether you eventually join Tottenham Hotspur or not, I hope we can become friends!"
Digan smiled and said, "Okay! Daniel! I want to know if you have discussed this matter with Coach Boas. I don't want Barcelona to happen again!"
Levy obviously has already considered this matter: "I am not satisfied with Boas' coaching results, so I have decided that Tottenham needs a new leader. Originally, I planned to invite Coach Prandelli, but he is now the head coach of the Italian team. What do you think of Coach Antiennis? What's it like?"
I have to admit that Degan is even more moved. After Antienis left the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, he has not come back to work. If there is really a chance to work again in Tottenham, this is really very attractive to Degan.
Among the so many head coaches Digan met, only Corioni was the first to meet in Atlanta. Fiorentina's Prandelli and the Belgian national team Antiennis have unconditional trust in him and have a very good relationship with each other.
In addition to joy, Degan couldn't help but be a little surprised by Levi's sincerity. In order to invite him to join, Levi even changed the team's head coach.
Boas may not know yet that after being fired by Chelsea in the middle of this season, he only coached for half a season at Tottenham Hotspur and was going to be laid off again. Previously, he was laid off at Chelsea because of his poor record, while Tottenham Hotspur took over the coach from the middle of this season and took White Lily from the league. The eighth went all the way to the fourth place in the league, but even so, he still failed to keep his position, just because Levi wanted to introduce Degan, and he seemed to be in the way.
Digan doesn't know anything about Boas and doesn't feel guilty. This is a very important decision in his career. This time, he must not make any mistakes, and all adverse factors must be eliminated.
In fact, Levi's dismissal of Boaz is not entirely for Degan. The key is that after Boaz entered White Deer Lane, under the instigation of Mendes, he constantly recommended Mendes' players, from Munioti to Hulk, Mende Si almost planned to turn White Deer Lane into his own back garden.
No club president is willing to let an agent become the emperor of the team. Mendes pointed to Tottenham Hotspur, which made Levi very dissatisfied. In the end, no matter whether the player is suitable for Tottenham Hotspur or not, anyway, as long as it is recommended by Mendes, Levi will unconditionally veto it. Up to now, let The relationship between Levi and Boas has also become very tense.
The other party showed such sincerity that there is no need for Degan to pretend to be reserved: "Daniel! I promised! You can negotiate the contract with Elan now!"
The negotiations between Levi and Zahavi did not last long. Two days later, Zahavi sent the final result. He signed a five-year contract with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds and an annual salary of 10 million pounds, which directly set an annual salary record for all players in Tottenham's history, although with Degan and Degan now 17 million euros There is a big gap in the annual salary, but this contract can also satisfy Degan.
Of course, all this is operated in private. After the contract was finalized, Tottenham Hotspur made an offer to Barcelona, and the first offer reached 30 million pounds. If it had been two years ago, I'm afraid that this money could not even buy a leg of Degan, but now, there is no doubt that it really let Russell was moved.
Although Russell is very optimistic about Degan, the suppression of the La Marcia gang led by Messi and the relationship between two consecutive head coaches Guardiola and Bilanova and Degan are very tense, which makes it difficult for Degan to play its due role in Camp Nou.
You can only get very few opportunities to play every season, but with the highest salary of 17 million euros in the world, which has caused some discordant voices within the team.
In particular, Messi has publicly said during the previous contract renewal negotiations: "Since a person who does not contribute as much to the team can get such a high salary as me, should I get more?"
What's the point of having a super high-paying player, but can't achieve a breakthrough in performance for the team and still destroying the team's unity?
Let Degan leave, which can not only recover part of the funds, but also save the salary for the next three years. This deal seems to really work.
It's just that 30 million pounds is too low!?
You know, although Degan looks a little depressed these two seasons, he is still the world's champion. Even if he is not as strong as before, he still has at least 70%!
So, Russell instructed his men to reply: "Digan is a very key member of Barcelona. He plays a very important role in the team, and we are not going to sell it!"
This is just a very simple transfer operation. The hidden meaning of this reply is basically that the price is a little low. If the transfer quotation can be raised again, the so-called non-sale product is not non-sale product.
It's just that what happened next is beyond Russell's control.
