"Hey, Gezka, you know, I've been contacted by Notts County FC and they're going to invite you on! They're Premier League champions, and they're going to play in the Champions League next season! After the agent had made initial contact with Notts County, he immediately called his players, and the excitement in his tone made Mendieta a little excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Notts County? How could they come and invite me? Mendieta asked, still a little incredulous.

He played for Middlesbrough last season, also a Premier League team, and he felt very clearly the strong performance of Notts County's unbeaten performance throughout the season.

Admittedly, Mendieta has his own pride as the best midfielder in Europe, but after the ups and downs of Lazio, Barcelona and Middlesbrough, he has set himself in the right frame of mind.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he knows very well in his heart that I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to improve greatly, and even to reach the peak of his career, and he has entered the end of his career, he can not have the luxury of hoping to get a place in the giants, and he can play in the middle of the five major leagues, and it is best to become the core, which is already the best result.

It's like now, he is negotiating with Middlesbrough, although Middlesbrough is not a Premier League giant, but at least he can have room to play here, and he can be satisfied with playing well for a few years and retiring smoothly.

Because of his poor performances at Lazio and Barcelona, he knew very well that no big club would throw an olive branch to him.

Although Notts County is far from being a giant, this Magpies is definitely the most powerful club in European football, the Premier League championship and the League Cup champion, all show the strength of the club, coupled with the financial resources of the club's chairman Mr. Pavis, I am afraid that in the future, there will be one more European giant.

So, how could he have thought that Notts County would invite him, even if he heard the news, he still felt incredulous.

The agent obviously knew Mendieta's doubts, so he quickly explained: "According to the news from Notts County, Notts County have sold the main striker Sneijder and the main left midfielder Iniesta, and now they have invited you, and they must hope that you can fill their position." ”

Mendieta was relieved that since the two main players had transferred, it made sense to invite him.

The Spanish midfielder is a versatile player, and his best position is the midfielder, the right midfielder, of course, the left midfielder and the midfielder can also play, no matter which player he replaces, he can adapt quickly.

At this time, Mendieta also fell into deep thought, he had already passed the impulsive youth, and before making every decision, he had to repeatedly calculate the gains and losses, so as not to regret it in the future.

The decision to sign with Middlesbrough was due to the fact that he had a very happy season at Middlesbrough last season, and even though he was not at his peak before, he was already very happy to be the core of the team, leading a mid-table team to the Carabao Cup.

However, compared to Notts County, Middlesbrough suddenly became completely unattractive, no matter how you look at it, Notts County is better than Middlesbrough, and he has no reason to refuse to play in such a vibrant club in his career!

Of course, he already has a hunch that he will not be the main force of Notts County, even if Iniesta and Sneijder transfer away, there are also Ribery and Kaka in these two positions, one has already shone in the European Championships, and the French media has become Zidane's successor, a Brazilian talent who has already made a name for himself, considering their growth, no matter which position he plays, I am afraid that he will have to compete with them, and he may not be able to compete.

From the core of a mid-stream club to the rotation of a top team, this is a very contrasting choice, if Mendieta is a young player, I am afraid that in order to develop, he will stick to the mid-range club and continue to improve, waiting for the day when he is really capable of playing the main or even the core in the giants, but Mendieta has entered the end of his career, and he can find a club to enjoy his last career and make up for the previous regrets by the way, what is there to be dissatisfied with!

Moreover, he knows that the Notts County squad is generally young, and even if his career is not perfect, there is no denying that he has a wealth of experience, and even from this point of view, he will not be a marginal figure in Notts County.

As a result, Mendieta had a tendency in his mind to sign with Notts County if he could.

As for the salary, the previous disagreement with Myburgh also lies in this, and there is no need to worry about this problem in the negotiation with Notts County, you know, Notts County's salary level is definitely among the top in the Premier League, and I believe they will not be too stingy with themselves.

Mendieta, who had made up his mind, told his agent directly to negotiate with Notts County, without delay.

David was very surprised when he received the report from the staff, he thought that Mendieta would hesitate, and he might even need to go out to persuade Mendieta himself, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so simple and could directly enter the negotiation stage.

The negotiation went smoothly, Lang had the intention of having a concubine, and Notts County was also very generous on the salary issue that Mendieta was most concerned about, and directly gave the opponent a high level of the first team, which is definitely a conscience treatment for a 31-year-old veteran, especially Mendieta, who has experienced ups and downs.

Mendieta's salary at Lazio was $420w, which was equivalent to £280w at the time, which belonged to the high-paid class in football.

However, because he almost fell into a state of no ball to play, his salary has been significantly reduced by the time he was loaned to Middlesbrough, although David does not know the exact number, but it will definitely not exceed £150w.

David was not stingy with the former best midfielder in Europe, and what he valued most was Mendieta's experience, so David directly offered him an annual salary of 220w pounds, although it was a little worse than his salary at his peak, but coupled with the bonus policy, in fact, Mendieta's salary was not a lot.

From the invitation to the signing, this deal was the most worry-free for David, and the most crucial thing is that it didn't cost Notts County a penny in the transfer fee.

David couldn't help laughing at himself, could it be that he also has a tendency to develop like Galliani, a bald man?

Will you also play visa-free in the future?

Well, it seems that I will pay attention to taking care of my hair in the future! (To be continued.) )
