Chapter 276 Reaching an agreement
"Zhang Yang is one of the best players in the world. Manchester City is proud that we will soon have the best players in the world. Manchester City is a club with a long history. We should have the pride that belongs to us. In the Premier League and European football, Manchester City should have the pride of belonging to Manchester City. This is my purpose. Biao, I know the difficulties faced by the club, but behind the difficulties are often opportunities! The future is very challenging, but Manchester City has begun to set sail! We have an excellent team, an excellent coaching staff and work reasons, and trustworthy players. I'm sure it will succeed."
Why did Alfaim say that Zhang Yang is about to become a Manchester City player? That's because Zhang Yang and Manchester City have not officially signed a contract. He came to Manchester City this time to discuss personal treatment, and the negotiations between Manchester City and AC Milan on Zhang Yang's transfer fee have come to an end.
Originally, a player should not go to the new club so high-profilely before the transfer is confirmed, but Alfaim can't wait to tell the world that they have won Zhang Yang!
The relationship between Zhang Yang and Milan has broken down. After learning Manchester City's request, he agreed without hesitation. Now that he has torn his face, Zhang Yang doesn't care at all. He is an emotional person, and at the same time, he is also a person who must be rewarded!
While Alfaim was saying these words, Zhang Yang said to Mendes in the car, "Mr. Alfaim is very good at choosing the timing."
Mendes nodded, "This was originally planned by Manchester City. They can't wait for the whole world to know that you are coming, but it's not a bad thing for us. Speaking of which, your speech back against Milan was very good.
"Real?" Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I also said something that came to my mind."
Zhang Yang didn't pay attention to the huge response caused by his words.
In China.
"In this kind of anger and helplessness, I met Mr. Alfaim, the president of the Manchester City club. I have to admit that this gentleman's words are very powerful. He described his grand blueprint to me and expressed his love for me. Here, I feel sincerity. I feel respect, and you also know that when a person is lost, the feeling of being respected and needed is our unforgettable. Therefore, I can tell you here that I would like to represent myself, that is, Zhang Yang, and solemnly announce that I have accepted the invitation of Manchester City Club, as long as Milan I will reach an agreement with Manchester City on the transfer fee, so I can negotiate a personal contract with Manchester City. I think this is what the club wants to see most.
Listening to Zhang Yang's words, many Chinese fans can't laugh or cry, which is the exclusive term in many advertisements.
After a burst of irony, everything was shocked. Zhang Yang actually said that he was going to transfer to Manchester City?
This news shocked everyone.
Until this time, many fans still don't think it's true. They think it's a matter of anger. Why? Zhang Yang does not lack suitors. Even if he leaves AC Milan, he does not have a place to go. Whether it is Real Madrid or Chelsea or Manchester United or Bayern Munich, it is a good place. What is Manchester City?
In the latest episode of World Football, it even took half an hour to analyze the transfer direction of Zhang Yang's transfer. In the voting of the fans, the fans who believed that Zhang Yang might go to Manchester City accounted for only 6.3% of the number of voting fans.
As for AC Milan, they can be said to be furious about the publicity. This kind of behavior of exposing the contradictions among the people to the people all over the world is intolerable by the senior management of Milan.
At this time, even Galliani was furious. At this time, everyone knew that Zhang Yang had to transfer, and he had broken with Milan.
At this time, some senior officials in Milan did not reflect on their own mistakes in this matter.
Now, Milan's only concern is whether Manchester City will use the excuse to lower the transfer fee after Zhang Yang's statement. After all, after the player's statement, the buyer will lower the transfer fee as much as possible, which is also an international practice.
This worry and anger reached its peak after learning that Zhang Yang went to Manchester and openly met with the Manchester City Club.
In a famous luxury hotel in Manchester, Manchester City Club covered a whole floor and received Zhang Yang. This kind of treatment even greeted not Zhang Yang and his agent, but the whole team of Real Madrid.
"This scene is really big enough." Zhang Yang said to Mendes with a smile, but the smile on his face clearly told everyone that he liked this kind of show, and this tone was very good for his appetite.
Mendes also nodded. In order to show off, the Manchester City Club can be said to have taken great pains. Although this also means to show it to other stars, its own attitude and sincerity are indeed sincere.
After the banquet, Zhang Yang and Alfaim talked, accompanied by Mendes.
Alfaim asked Zhang Yang with a smile, "Zhang, are you satisfied with today's hospitality?"
Zhang Yang nodded happily, "I'm extremely satisfied." With that, he continued carelessly, "I like this kind of big show, so from the bottom of my bones, I'm a very vulgar person."
Alphaim laughed, "You are very honest, you know, Zhang, this is also something I appreciate from you."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Thank you. In fact, I have always been honest."
Alfaim continued with a smile and said, "You are the best star in the world. I want to give you the best hospitality in Manchester. In Manchester City, you will be treated like a real flag, and hundreds of thousands of fans will cheer for you in every move."
At this time, Mendes spoke. It was time for him to talk about personal treatment with Manchester City on behalf of Zhang Yang.
"Mr. Alfaim, first of all, I would like to ask, have you and Milan reached an agreement on the transfer fee?" Mendes asked first.
"It's almost done." Alfaim nodded solemnly and mentioned the negotiations with Milan. He was still very happy. Seeing the Italian giants knocked down by money, the pleasure was really indescribable.
Mendes nodded, "Then we can also negotiate on other things."
Alfaim nodded and motioned Mendes to continue.
"First of all, first of all, we hope that Manchester City can come up with a transfer fee that meets Zhang Yang's value. Now, there is no need to negotiate on this point." Mendes said that Mendes has been following the negotiations between Manchester City and Milan, and he also has an estimate and understanding of the amount of the transfer fee for the final transaction, which is a price that he is very satisfied with. He believes that once the final result is announced, it will shock the whole world.
It was really shocking. A day ago, Zhang Yang said that he wanted to join Manchester City. After the news came out, even the most hardcore Manchester City fans did not believe it and thought that Zhang Yang was angry with Milan.
Previously, Manchester City announced the pursuit of Zhang Yang, which almost became a football joke. No one thought that Manchester City could succeed. They were waiting to see Manchester City's jokes. This was out of hatred for the rich. Who made Manchester City so rich all of a sudden? For this kind of upstart, people's consistent view is that there is deep disdain and contempt in jealousy.
Among the Manchester City fans, many rational fans are also advising the club to stop thinking about super stars like Zhang Yang. Can we be pragmatic?
However, on this day, when Zhang Yang arrived in Manchester and the news that Manchester City Club President Alpha Im personally went to the airport to meet him, everyone was shocked.
After the shock, Manchester City fans were ecstatic. It turned out that this was not a dream, but it could really happen!
Although Zhang Yang just came to Manchester with his agent to talk about personal treatment, it is not certain whether he can sign a contract with Manchester City, but this has made Manchester City fans ecstatic.
Many fans began to gather outside the hotel where Zhang Yang stayed. They even waited all night to get the news as soon as possible to determine whether Zhang Yang would join the team.
At this time, in the room.
Zhang Yang is no longer in this room. At this time, there is no difference between him and not being around, because the next thing to talk about is personal treatment. With Mendes here, everything can be done. Zhang Yang naturally has no doubt about the ability of 'super broker'.
After talking about personal treatment, in the eyes of the chairman of the Manchester City Club, the agent seems to be a vampire with fangs exposed, which can be said to be an inch of land.
"The weekly salary is 200,000 pounds." Mendes raised two fingers and said, "I think my players are fully worthy of such treatment."
Go and rob the bank! Alfaim was a little angry when he heard it. Manchester City is rich now, but it's two different things to have money and not take money as the same thing. Well, maybe Manchester City doesn't take money as the same thing, but they have to consider the chain reaction if they really give a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds.
No, Mendes's request is really a little too much.
At this time, in Alfaim's briefcase, there was a piece of paper with a list of high-paying players in the entire Premier League.
1. Terry (Chelsea): £135,000;
2. Shevchenko (Chelsea): 121,000 pounds;
3. Barack (Chelsea): £121,000;
4. Gerard (Liverpool): £120,000;
5. Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United): £119,000;
6. Rooney (Manchester United): 110,000 pounds;
7. Irving (Newcastle): 110,000 pounds;
8. Lampard (Chelsea): 100,000 pounds;
9. Ferdinand (Manchester United): 100,000 pounds;
10, Torres (Liverpool): 90,000 pounds;
11. Drogba (Chelsea): 90,000 pounds;
12. Carragher (Liverpool): 80,000 pounds;
13. Essien (Chelsea): 80,000 pounds;
14. Dyer (Newcastle): 80,000 pounds;
In the current Premier League, Terry's salary is the highest, with a weekly salary of only 135,000 pounds, and now the weekly salary of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is as famous as Zhang Yang, is only 119,000 pounds.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo is also negotiating with Manchester United about renewing his contract, and the salary increase is certain, in any case, the weekly salary of 200,000 pounds proposed by Mendes is indeed too high in Alfaim's opinion.
He must consider that if he is given a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, it may have an impact on other Manchester City players. Well, although those players are not as strong as Zhang Yang, if their weekly salary is less than one-sixth of Zhang Yang, it will cause chaos in the locker room. In addition, that is, If you give Zhang Yang 200,000 pounds, it is estimated that the weekly salary of at least 100,000 pounds will start to start to buy people in the future.
Of course, Alfaim also knows that since Mendes dares to ask for a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, he is also waiting to bargain with Manchester City, which is human nature.
Moreover, as Alfaim said, for Manchester City, Zhang Yang's willingness to join Manchester City is the most critical. In terms of personal treatment, it is really not a big problem. Now, the purpose of the two sides is to find that balance.
"Mr. Mendes, the weekly salary of 200,000 pounds is too high." Alfaim said, "This is unrealistic. You know, Cristiano Ronaldo only has a weekly salary of 119,000 pounds."
"Oh, Cristiano." Mendes smiled and said, "I'm talking to Manchester United. That salary is out of date for Cristiano."
Alfaim also suddenly remembered that Mendes was also the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"What I want to know is whether the weekly salary of 200,000 pounds means that the club has a 100% portrait right." Alfaim asked.
"NO! NO! NO!" Mendes said, "My player requires 100% of the portrait right, and his portrait right must belong to him personally."
"This is impossible." Alfaim is also a little angry. For the club, it is customary to have the portrait rights of players. Even Beckham, who is now the most valuable portrait rights, only got 50% of the portrait rights after joining Real Madrid, and the other half of the portrait rights are given to Real Madrid.
"All right." Mendes pondered for a moment, "The weekly salary is 200,000 pounds, and Zhang Yang wants to have 50% of his portrait rights."
For portrait rights, Mendes is very clear. Although it can't be said that the exposure and influence of joining Manchester City will decline, the growth is definitely not as good as that of a rich family like Milan. Therefore, the importance of portrait rights has decreased, and in terms of portrait rights The concession is also acceptable, but 50% of the portrait right is the bottom line.
Alpha Im touched his nose. He thought for a moment and said to Mendes, "Mr. Mendes, I don't want to be too entangled about personal salary. When I went to China to invite Zhang, I considered this. I know that coming to Manchester City is for a star at the level of Zhang Yang. It means that he will lose a lot of invisible things, so in terms of personal treatment, we will hurry up. With a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds, the player has 50% of the portrait rights.
Mendes pondered for a moment. The weekly salary given by Alfaim is indeed sincere enough. In Mendes' plan, it was the bottom line to get a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, and the weekly salary of 170,000 pounds was very good. You know, Zhang Yang is only 22 years old, and there is still room for development in the future.
"The weekly salary is 17,000 pounds, 50% of the portrait right, and the salary increases by 15% every year." Mendes said.
Alfaim also pondered for a moment. It should be that Mendes's requirements are a little too much, with an annual increase of 15%, which is not a lot. However, for Manchester City now, this really has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"OK." Alfaim nodded.
We reached an agreement on the issue of weekly salary and personal portrait rights, so the remaining things, such as goal bonuses and appearance fees, as well as assist bonuses, and even championship bonuses, are not a big problem, and the two soon reached an agreement on these details.
Then, Mendes put forward the third point, which, although has nothing to do with salary, is crucial.
"My players, the candidates of their own partners, or so to speak, in the transfer market, require a certain right of advice." Mendes said.
"The right to suggest?" Alfaim asked. He frowned slightly. For this point, he is still relatively **. Although Alfaim also promised that if Zhang Yang conflicts with the head coach, they are even willing to fire the coach to maintain Zhang Yang, after all, this is something that they will not do. And Zhang Yang proposed that he should have a certain right to make suggestions at the player's transfer, which seems to be a little excessive. Let's not talk about anything else, head coach Mark. Hughes may not agree, Mark. Hughes is not a top coach, and he won't agree yet. So, what about other head coaches in the future?
In fact, this third point is not proposed by Zhang Yang, but added by Mendes himself. Mr. 'super agent' is doing his best to help his players fight for benefits. Although this may make Manchester City very unhappy, he will not pay attention to it.
"That's right." Mendes nodded, "For example, Zhang Yang may have his own ideas about his partner. He will tell the club the names of several players suitable for his partner, and the club can also investigate these players. If appropriate, they can introduce them."
Seeing that Alfaim was still meditating, Mendes continued, "This is just the right to give advice. In fact, as far as I know, some important stars have the right to give advice on the team's transfer, because they are the most important people in this team, for the team. I understand that although it can't be said to be better than the head coach, in some details, they know the team best, so their suggestions are also constructive. As the core and banner of the team, Zhang Yang expresses his personal views on some things. I think it's completely okay.
Alpha Im nodded. Mendes is right. Although the chairman of Manchester City is not too professional about football, he knows something about what Mendes said. Some important players, especially veterans, have a very important position in the team and have a say in the team's transfer decision. For example, Inter Milan captain Zanetti, if the team wants to buy people, it is almost difficult to accept it in the locker room without Zaneti's consent. In fact, last summer, Inter Milan planned to buy Zhang Yang, but Sanetti said that the team has Ibrahimovic enough, that this sentence, and even Even Moratti had to weigh it and gave up his intention to introduce Zhang Yang.
"Well, there is no problem with that." Alfaim nodded and said. In his mind, there is no doubt about the importance of Zhang Yang. The importance of Zhang Yang is even more important than that of the head coach. As for whether this he promised will bring trouble to the head coach, Alfaim is too lazy to pay attention to it. At worst, Zhang Yang can pass his suggestion through the club's general manager Cook and even Alfaim himself said that in this way, he would avoid a conflict with the head coach.
At this time, Zhang Yang, who was in another room, did not know his agent and won a very special right for himself.
At this time, he has fallen asleep. After returning to Europe from China, Zhang Yang has been very tired, and the jet lag has not been reversed.
He knew that maybe after waking up, what appeared in front of him would be a new road to the future.
