It's no secret that many teams are interested in Ronaldo, and it's not a secret that they watch Ronaldo every game, and many teams don't even pay attention to Ronaldo when he comes to Trapani, but they pay attention to him in the academy of Sporting Lisbon before, but Ronaldo has never played a serious first-team game after all, and everyone dare not make that determination.

Cristiano Ronaldo has played a huge role in Trapani's record this year, and everyone is sure that this is indeed a talented player, so they have the idea of accommodating Ronaldo.

During the winter break, there were inquiries, but they were all rejected mercilessly by Trapani's side.

Mendes probed Hugo's tone during the winter break, Hugo's attitude was very strong, Mendes couldn't help it, he didn't want to make the relationship with Hugo stiff at all, this matter has been dragging on, some influential big clubs have contacted him many times, Mendes has said that the season is over.

After Zeman was abruptly sacked, Mendes felt that the time had come, on the one hand, he negotiated with Trapani about the signing of Ronaldo, who turned 18 in February, and he could sign a professional contract with the team, no longer a youth contract, and on the other hand, he also lobbied Ronaldo again.

What he said to Hugo is also true, there are clubs interested in Ronaldo, Mendes is selective to say to Ronaldo, such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, Milan, etc., these are giants.

As Sellly said, so many years of dedication is not without rewards, Ronaldo is not hard-hearted, their family used to be said to be in a state of extreme poverty, it was Hugo who fell in love with him, and gave him a high salary when he was young, so that his family lived a rich life, not only he but also his family are quite grateful to Hugo, this season Hugo even invited Ronaldo's family to Trapani many times to come and watch the game.

Ronaldo knew these interests during the winter break, his mind was very simple, he just didn't want to leave, he told Mendes that he wanted to be able to stay here with peace of mind, there is a manager who trusts him, there is a boss who has paid a lot for his family, he can grow up here, why choose which giants to sit on the bench, maybe he can't play in the first team at all!

In mid-May, Ronaldo and Trapani signed a professional contract, the contract period is 5 years, the annual salary after tax is 500,000 euros, after the upgrade, the salary will increase by 20% every year, and various bonuses will be loaded together Ronaldo's annual salary will be close to one million euros, Mendes got an intermediary fee, which was given to him by Hugo on his own initiative, not asked for by Mendes, what he hoped Mendes knew very well, but how could it be possible if he didn't take this money.

Mendes mentioned a liquidated damages clause in this negotiation, which was previously a huge amount of liquidated damages clause in the youth contract, and this time Mendes wants to continue to have such a clause to facilitate other teams.

But Giorgio and Sellly, who were in charge of the negotiations, did not agree, they did not want this clause to exist, they meant it was Hugo's meaning, and Mendes linked this clause to the length of the contract, either for three years or with liquidated damages.

He was very bold.

"Mr. Mendes, I know there are a lot of teams interested in Cristiano! I know you're trying to get Cristiano out of the run, but the basis of all this is not to the detriment of Trapani, do you want a liquidated damages clause so that everyone can tear their faces in the future?! Sailly bluntly questioned Mendes at the negotiating table.

Mendes was quite passive, and Sailly shouted again: "Don't patronize yourself and Cristiano's interests, do you think Trapani is a small team?!" Is it the team that might let you call the shots?! Don't forget what the Clariani family do?! Trapani has always been fair and impartial, but sometimes being threatened by someone like you is a joke! ”

Mendes was shocked, Sailly's words concealed the meaning of threat, linked to Hugo's background, what is rich and powerful, black and white, Hugo is such a person, Mendes did not dare to force it in this regard, and Selly also revealed a message, Ronaldo can leave, but everything depends on Trapani's interests, only their interests are met before they can leave, otherwise there is no way to talk about it.

The terms of the renewal were fair, but Mendes agreed almost without a choice.

After signing the contract, Selli said to Mendes with a smile in private: "Jorge, everyone is friends, there is no need to blush for such a thing, you are not good to everyone, right?!" My personal opinion is this, Cristiano of course we want to stay, but I don't think we should stand in the way of his future, everyone has their own ideas, right?! ”

Mendez's nervousness relaxed, which was a clearer sign.

Sailly is completely self-made, he thinks that selling Ronaldo is not a bad thing, it can bring a lot of things to the team, this is nothing to fear, Serie A is different from Serie B, Ronaldo can be mixed in Serie B may not be able to mix in Serie A, if you can make a lot of money, the team uses the money to introduce some experienced players, it is a good thing for the team to gain a foothold in Serie A, why not.

Hugo doesn't know this, he's always been entangled, he's just reluctant, really reluctant, but as he thought before, Ronaldo really wants to go, and it's impossible for him not to let him go.

After the contract was signed, Mendes and Ronaldo had a detailed discussion, Ronaldo was very satisfied with the contract, there are not many teams that can be as generous as Trapani, this is what Mendes said, and Ronaldo also knows how much Trapani values him.

However, the current environment has changed, Zeman has left, under Lombardo and Barrias, Ronaldo is still in excellent form, it is difficult to say whether Lombardo and Barias will not be in the position of head coach next season, and now the media does not believe that they will continue to stay.

"Cristiano, Trapani must be very sincere in keeping you, I agree with that, they give a very good salary, there is no doubt about it, if you want to make money, no problem, you can get everything here, Gigi is probably the most generous boss I have ever met, as long as he appreciates you, you will definitely be able to get a contract that satisfies you!"

"But you really have to think about it, are you playing football all for money?! Do you remember that your dream was to become the best player in the world?! ”

"Of course I do!" The young Cristiano Ronaldo stood up and said that when he was a child, he never thought that playing football would solve the problem of eating.

"Since we have this dream, then we should be realistic and walk on the right path, is it appropriate for you to stay in Trapani now?! Not suitable, you don't know their situation as well as me, Gigi is very rich, but their policy is to grow slowly, it will not be achieved overnight, and it is foreseeable that they will never be able to get their hands on the championship in the next few years, and you will not get any honor here! Working with a group of players with average ability for a long time will not make you progress, and you will not get any honors, you need to go to a team with better overall strength! Mendes has made his point again, and this is not the first time that he has said it in front of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Italian football emphasizes tactics too much, it's your luck to meet Mr. Zeman, but now that he is gone, Trapani must choose a new coach, according to their current situation, relegation in Serie A in the new season is the first priority, the new coach is very likely to be the old fritter of Serie A, the old fritter is certainly not an offensive coach like Zeman, which is definitely not good for your growth! In the past, Zeman was in you and you could not choose to leave, but now that Zeman is gone, you really need to think about it later! ”

Mendes continued to persuade Ronaldo, Ronaldo knew that Mendes really thought about him, if Mendes needed money, he could tell Hugo directly, Hugo could give him a sum of money, but Mendes preferred Ronaldo to have a big career and play his signboard.

The words are earnest, the reasons are sufficient, especially Zeman's departure made Ronaldo unhappy for a while, and now Mendes has to say that it really poked Ronaldo's heart in the pain, and he didn't want Zeman to leave at all.

Mendes left from Trapani, Hugo was away on business, and he couldn't meet him, and to be honest, he really didn't want to meet Hugo, and Hugo's madness was a little scary.

Trapani entered May with a dip in results against Genoa, but they failed to win their next three games, level on points with Sampdoria on top of the table on goal difference, and then in June, Trapani has two games, one against Siena and one against Lecce, one away and one at home.

On June 1st, Trapani played away against Siena, Toni has returned from injury, this game as a starter, Siena ranked third before the game, and Trapani is 6 points apart, they won this game, and they can not threaten Trapani's position, but Siena has Ancona, Triestina, not far from Siena, the top four can be promoted, Siena has to win Trapani at home, in view of the bad situation of the last three Trapani, many media believe that Siena will definitely be able to kill three soldiers, All three points were taken, but everyone may have overlooked the power of Toney, who had not appeared for a long time, played bravely in the game, kicking overhead and kicking, and finally helped Trapani beat Siena 5-2.

Another match that took place at the same time was held to a 1-1 draw by Trapani's younger brother Messina, and Trapani was able to dominate.
