66. The first person
Another advantage of the establishment of this agency is that it has recruited several agents who hold national and international football agent certificates, and has signed brokerage contracts with most of the players of Longteng Club. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Because Zhang Sheng knows that in the next few years, the price of domestic players will soar, but there are only a handful of good players, many clubs will seduce players by unscrupulous means, plus some agents and various brokers in the middle, such as the very famous football in domestic football, Zhao Zhen, a very famous football legend, and many players have his figure in the transfer. Especially the three stops of Wu Xi, who was in a lot of trouble in 2016, are related to him.
Among them, Xu Mingyu's brokerage contract was signed with Wuzhou, and this time in the face of Sporting Lisbon's purchase, Zhang Sheng negotiated with the club and them, and the brokerage company negotiated the contract with them.
Aurelio Pereira visited the Dragon Club as soon as he received a response from the Dragons, which shows his eagerness for Xu Mingyu. Because in the just-concluded World Youth Championships, FIFA and many professional sports media have released the best team and substitute players for this World Youth Championship.
As the biggest dark horse of the World Youth Championships, and because the team has other low-level players holding back, the outside world is very concerned. Among them, Qin Minghao, Li Yun and Xu Mingyu are often on the list in the selection of these media, such as Qin Minghao and Li Yun in the FIFA best list, while France's "Team Newspaper", Germany's "Kicker", and the British BBC have replaced Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu respectively. After all, in their opinion, Xu Mingyu, who is still ********, has a greater late-mover advantage than Qin Minghao, who is already 20 years old.
Xu Mingyu, who has three goals and two assists in the World Youth Championships, has also attracted the attention of many European clubs, and he is about to turn 18 and is regarded as a promising star in world football. It's just that in view of the past failures of Chinese players, there are many inquiries and trials, and few direct offers. On the contrary, Sporting Lisbon, who has been paying attention to Xu Mingyu for nearly half a year, directly made an offer.
Pereira seemed very sincere in the meeting with Zhang Sheng, and after learning that Zhang Sheng could speak Portuguese, he said directly: "I am very optimistic about Xu Mingyu's future." Sporting Lisbon will focus on developing him. ”
"But you're not going to give him a chance to play in the first team, are you?" Zhang asked rhetorically.
Pereira was a little embarrassed by Zhang Sheng's questioning, but he replied calmly: "We can't guarantee every player's first-team position, after all, these depend on ability and condition. But we can guarantee that Xu Mingyu is the best training. ”
Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "But I think young players need a lot of official games to develop enough. And it doesn't have to be a Portuguese Super League game. ”
Hearing something in Zhang Sheng's words, Pereira asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"As far as I know, very few Chinese players have been successful in Europe. ”
Pereira said proudly: "That's true, IMHO, the level of the European league is far higher than that of the Chinese domestic league. But I also believe in my vision, I think Xu Mingyu is a talented player and he will have a good future under our training at Sporting Lisbon. ”
In the face of Pereira's pride, Zhang Sheng also agreed with him: "It's true. But I heard that Sporting Lisbon's B team will be able to play in the Portuguese league next season?"
Pereira quickly got to the point: "Yes, it does. Last season, our club's B team played in the Portuguese league and finished fourth, I think when Xu Mingyu arrives at our club, if he doesn't have a place in the first team for the time being, we will put him in the B team, after all, he is only 18 years old. And we have a lot of young guys in the B team, so I think he should be able to adapt to the atmosphere of the team. ”
Zhang Sheng smiled: "Then I think we have reached an agreement on Xu Mingyu's chances of participating. ”
Pereira also happily complimented: "Coach Zhang, you are really a person who is willing to think about the future of young players, many times the other club thinks about the transfer fee, and only you raise the question of participation. ”
Zhang Sheng was not fooled, he still started another round of negotiations: "We really don't set a lot of problems on the transfer fee, but we hope to be able to get a certain share of the second transfer sale on the existing offer, and we hope that the share ratio is 50%. At the same time, we want to have a buyback clause, and if Xu Mingyu is not very suitable for the European football environment, we hope to reclaim him at a 20% premium. ”
When Zhang Sheng said these conditions, Pereira was obviously very dissatisfied, and kept shouting: "No!no!no!"
When Zhang Sheng finished talking about his conditions, Pereira quickly said: "That's not good, we are Sporting Lisbon, not an unknown small club." We are single-minded in the development of our players, making money through the resale of players is not our ultimate goal, we are the giants of Europe. The share of the secondary sale is unacceptable. ”
In the face of Pereira's exaggerated reaction, Zhang Sheng was not confused: "As far as I know, many players in your club have a second sale share clause when they are sold, including Moutinho, who you have been arguing with Porto just a while ago. ”
Because in May, Monaco in Ligue 1 wanted to pack Porto double stars Moutinho and Rodriguez for 7000w, and Moutinho's old club Sporting Home will get 25% of Moutinho's second transfer, so Porto put Moutinho at 100w and Rodriguez 6900w, so Lisbon can only get 25% of 100w, and Rodriguez is fortunate to be the fourth most valuable player in history.
Of course, this is a rumor, which has the meaning of the black shop of Black Porto, and in the end Moutinho also joined Monaco for 2500w euros. But the question about Pereira's claim that his team does not accept a secondary transfer share is a joke.
But in the face of Zhang Sheng's cynicism, Pereira's face obviously remained unchanged, and he still said: "But Xu Mingyu is not Moutinho, Moutinho is a rare genius in our Portugal." Besides, your 50% cut is too high, so it will definitely not work. ”
Zhang Sheng is still very familiar with such negotiation methods: "But you also know. Xu Mingyu was selected into the best team by several European professional media this time. Even without reference to star players such as Pogba and Kurt Zouma, the transfer fee of 100w offered by your club is indeed outrageous. I think our thoughts are the same, we are both optimistic about Xu Mingyu's future, so we deserve to get long-term benefits. We can reduce the share ratio appropriately, we can reduce it to 45%. ”
"No! it can't be!" Pereira said, "It's impossible to have such a high percentage of the split, it's not in line with European transfer tradition. We can only give a maximum of 10% of the share. ”
"40%, this is the final price. Zhang Sheng insisted.
Pereira shook her head and said, "15%. ”
Faced with such a bargain, Zhang Sheng felt like he was buying Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market. But Zhang Sheng knows that every 5% of such a share will not be a small amount in the future.
In the end, the two sides agreed on a 25% share, and then came the more arduous buyback terms.
In a player's transfer contract, a buy-back clause is a relatively common one. But there is also a big difference in the buyback clause. One is that if the player's new club wants to sell, then there is a clause that states that as long as the old club bids the same price as other clubs, the old club can buy first, and the new club must agree to the old club and the player to negotiate a contract;
It is the second clause proposed by Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng has his own judgment on this clause.
The first is to consider Xu Mingyu's ability and potential. Xu Mingyu is now 70/85. And 85's potential is not enough for him to gain a foothold in Europe's giants. Taking the current team's foreign players as an example, the defender N'Golo Kante has a potential value of 120, but in reality he is also the highlight of a season, and he is not the first choice in the French team. Then Xu Mingyu can play in the middle and lower reaches of the non-five major leagues like the Portuguese Super League at most, or play in the second tier of the five major leagues, if there is too high a buyback clause, it is not cost-effective.
In fact, Zhang Sheng considered the demand for good players in domestic teams in the next few years, and if there were domestic teams offering a price of 1000w euros to buy them, it would be very possible. After all, Xu Mingyu's ability is much higher than the potential of the main players of the current national team. Because according to the fact that Zhou Hai and Sun Yu can also join the national team, the potential value of the main players of the national team is about 75 at most. Then once Xu Mingyu is going to return to China to play, the price that Longteng Club will have to spend will be great.
After Pereira raised the objection to the buyback clause, Zhang Sheng did not do too much entanglement, after all, Pereira could not imagine the demand for players and those exaggerated prices in the Chinese domestic league in the future. Eventually, when Zhang Sheng raised the repurchase price to 100% of the current purchase price. Pereira agreed to the request.
In the end, Longteng Club and Pereira reached an agreement, reaching an agreement with a second transfer share of 100w euros + 25% + 200w euros buyback clause, and at the same time, it was stipulated in the agreement that Xu Mingyu's playing time in Sporting Lisbon B must play at least 30 games in 42 games in a season in the Portuguese league.
After talking about this, Zhang Sheng allowed Sporting Lisbon to start talking about a personal contract with Xu Mingyu, which is also the first person in the Longteng team to stay abroad. (To be continued.) )
