Chapter 50: Granada? Ibrahimovic?

Agents play a key role in player transfers, openly bargaining, and secretly letting things go. At the same time, as professional pimps, they also act as a buffer between players and clubs, and even between clubs and clubs.

So if it wasn't a last resort, Jiang Lizhang didn't want to deal with Ji Qin too much, even if the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant!

On the one hand, the broker is a long-term business and will not tear up with the club unless it is absolutely necessary. On the other hand, brokers are by no means vulnerable. In La Liga, for example, when they seek transfers for the players they represent, they have a devastating move: mandatory liquidated damages.

After all, as we all know, La Liga will force the club to indicate liquidated damages when signing a contract with a player, and there are not so many things in reality when Wu Lei transferred to Granada, and the transfer still needs to be agreed by SIPG, which is the common property of SIPG and Espanyol, and part of the salary is borne by SIPG.

After Ji Qin directly negotiated with Jiang Lizhang, he arranged for Wu Lei to transfer to Granada and signed a mandatory termination fee of 15 million euros, and Jiang Lizhang was also worried that after Wu Lei became famous abroad, he would be taken away by other clubs directly.

Moreover, the team's main promotion team Pozo and Vico will return to the team on loan next season, so Jiang Lizhang decided to knock down Wu Lei's contract before the start of the new season!

Fans who are accustomed to the countless players changing clubs every winter and summer think that buying a player at the club is similar to buying a house and a car, or even going to the supermarket to buy a grocerie and a bottle of drink.

The only difference may be that they use checks to swipe WeChat, which is simple and direct.

In fact, the evil capitalist clubs in the transfer process do not treat players as "people" at all. In the European clubs' own accounting, transfer fees are recorded in the form of purchased assets and then amortized according to the length of the player's contract.

This method of processing is not fundamentally different from the purchase of a machine or a car by an ordinary enterprise.

However, after all, the transfer is trading players, so there must be a difference between buying a car and a house in terms of the subject of the transaction. The biggest difference lies in whether the transaction subject has the right to choose.

To put it bluntly, if you sell the house, it's just you and the buyer who are arguing, and the house itself will definitely not refuse to trade because "I don't want to go to that person, he is not good for the house, he doesn't clean up" or something.

But the players are different, even if it is love at first sight between the two clubs, they are very satisfied with the bride price, but the players do not nod their heads, and no one can arrange a marriage. Although the football world often ridicules the club's "black shop" and "supermarket", in fact, the players have the final decision on whether to go or not.

Of course, there are some professional sports leagues that are truly "human trafficking", such as the big ball leagues in North America. Whether in the NBA or MLB, the subject matter of a player's trade is actually a contract rather than a person.

Therefore, as soon as the two teams agree to complete the player deal, the new owner will actually get the contract signed between the old club and the player, and thus automatically get the right to let the player play for the team. In this process, the players cannot participate or refuse, and sometimes the owner does not even notify them, resulting in the players being confused that "I only learned from the newspaper that I had been traded to the other side of the United States".

However, in the world of football, this kind of "waking up and changing the sky" situation is absolutely impossible. This is because a normal transfer requires the buying club to negotiate with the seller club to transfer the dues, and then negotiate a new contract with the player, and finally the player has to void the old contract with the old club, register with the new club and fulfill the new contract.

In other words, transfers in the football world are actually more like "job hopping" than NBA outright trade contracts.

The reason why Ji Qin wanted to set up a liquidated damages of 15 million for Wu Lei was mainly because it was to facilitate job hopping! Although it was said that for Wu Lei at that time, Granada was the best choice, and there would be no major changes if nothing else, but Ji Qin still kept a hand.

A release fee of 15 million euros, if Vuray performs well, as it is now, then the contract given by the club cannot be too low, otherwise it will not deserve a higher release fee. And if the team does not renew the contract, and another team is interested in Wu Lei, it will be better to do it, 15 million euros will be smashed directly, an absolute profit, guaranteed not to lose!

On the contrary, if Wu Lei does not perform well and cannot play famous abroad, then there is nothing to say, just return to China and continue to be the "King of the Mountain"!

"Of course, there is no problem with this, Wu Lei is very happy in Granada, and he is very willing to continue to play for Granada!" Ji Qin and Wu Lei have already discussed this matter, with the level that Wu Lei is playing now, the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues can go, but there is no need!

So Granada is still the best choice for Wu Lei at the moment!

Jiang Lizhang saw that Ji Qin did not raise any objections to the renewal of the contract, and he was also very satisfied, and touched Ji Qin with a red wine glass and said, "Very good!" In the next few days, I will arrange for Martinez to discuss the specific details of the contract with you, and I will make sure that you are satisfied! ”

After talking about Wu Lei's contract renewal, Jiang Lizhang suddenly changed his words and said: "I heard that you became Ibrahimovic's agent?" ”

"Well, yes!" This matter has long been reported back to China, and almost everyone in the mixed football circle knows about it, so Ji Qin has nothing to hide.

"That's amazing! suddenly became the agent of the world's top stars, and he should be impressed for three days! Jiang Lizhang praised Ji Qin, but Ji Qin didn't have much joy but was vigilant, according to this time and this old fox, once he starts to praise you, you have to be careful, he is planning you!

Sure enough, Jiang Lizhang continued: "I heard that Ibu is considering going back to the five major leagues to play? Are you sure which team it is? ”

Although Ji Qin felt that AC Milan was the most likely at the moment, he definitely couldn't mention it to outsiders until it was confirmed, so he said: "It's not confirmed yet, you know, there are a lot of teams interested in Ibrahimovic!" ”

"Well, indeed!"

Jiang Lizhang was silent for a while when he heard this, then raised his head and looked at Ji Qin seriously: "Do you think it is possible for Ibrahimovic to join Granada?" ”
