Chapter 300: A New Weekly Salary
The media also released Jones' post-match interview: "You are now the top scorer in the Premier League, and even the top scorer in Europe, I wonder how you manage to maintain such a high level of efficiency? ”
'I'm a striker, my job is to score goals, my team-mates are great, they can give me the ball every opportunity, I just have to put it in the net, it's that simple.' Jones replied in earnest.
'Everybody knows that your manager values you and you have a lot of good players in your squad, so I want to know how you're training with them and if you feel like you're the strongest!'
'We have a lot of good players in our squad and our manager is asking us to be fit enough and I don't think I'm better than them, but I'm going to do my best to improve.' Apparently this guy is trying to stir up a conflict in the Chelsea dressing room!
'It's your first Premier League game and you're doing impeccable at the moment so I want to know where you're going to be next, what you expect from the team.'
'It's really my first season and I'm happy with what I've achieved so far, I didn't expect me to get to this point, I need to improve myself in the coming years, Chelsea are a great team, we have big goals and I hope I can accompany our team to great things.'
After the game, Jones began to live a simple but fulfilling life, which Jones was comfortable with, and Jones's performance in training was as consistent as ever.
"Jones, I know your current contract doesn't deserve your performance, so I think we can revise your contract a little bit more and we have to give you respect with a salary that is worthy of your performance." At the end of the day's training, manager Phillips approached Jones and said.
To be honest, Jones is already happy with his current contract, he is now paid the second highest salary in the team, and even some of the older players are not as high as his salary.
It's just that Chelsea's top management is worried, Jones's performance during this period is obvious to all, and the winter transfer will start soon, and they are going to increase the liquidated damages, which are obviously not insured by 60 million euros.
However, Jones still called Ball, and then followed Phillips to the office, and the salary increase was of course a good thing!
It didn't take long for Ball to come to Chelsea, and Ball was already a professional manager after half a year of training, and it was about Jones's contract, so Jones still looked at it very carefully, but as soon as he got the contract, Ball frowned.
"Manager, I don't think my client will be able to accept this contract, I think we can talk about it later."
"Oh? It's a contract with pretty good conditions, and I don't think there's anything bad here. Phillips was not in the slightest bit unhappy, and still said with a smile.
"My client is satisfied with the salary of this contract, but my client feels that this contract is too long and my client cannot accept this contract." Bauer confessed.
This contract is to hope that Jones can renew his contract with Chelsea for two years, which means that Jones will sign a five-year contract with Chelsea, Ball understands Jones' growth rate, and he will definitely be the best star in five years, and at that time this contract will be completely tied to Jones, whether it is to choose a team or ask for a salary increase.
"I know you may not be happy with the length of your contract now, but we can discuss it again, the team values you, so we can talk about it very sincerely, and you know it's not my idea." Phillips said.
"I'm very grateful to the team because the team is my first team and the team has given me the opportunity to play, I should have signed it, and I also know that Ball is good for me, so I won't say anything!" Jones was silent for a moment.
'Let's be honest, my client is happy with the salary and I'm no exception, but we all know Jones is going to improve more, he likes Chelsea, but I don't think he should be tied down to a long-term contract, I can accept it, but it can't be more than three years, that's my bottom line.'
"Are you sure!" Phillips frowned.
'That's my bottom line, I'm confident in Jones' future, I'm not going to compromise on that, he's not going to sign a long-term contract, but that doesn't mean Jones doesn't love Chelsea, we can add an agreement to the contract that when the contract expires, he can give priority to renewing his contract with the team on the same terms.' Bauer, of course, was confident.
Now no one doubts Jones' potential, and Ball certainly won't be a man of the eye. "Of course we can talk about that later, and I think the team can talk about it when the season is over."
"Okay, let's take a step back, I agree to sign a three-year contract, but we have to reduce our weekly salary a little bit, and of course the team won't treat you badly." Phillips was silent for a moment and continued, this is a task given to him by the higher-ups, and he must complete it.
"In that case, I will renew my contract with the team, and what will my weekly salary be!" At this time, Jones said in advance that Jones didn't want Ball to stiffen the relationship.
"Well, I can now confirm that your salary is already the second highest in the team, £210,000 a week, which is more than the income of any 18-year-old." Phillips said with a smile, thinking that the liquidated damages had reached 100 million euros, and there should be no problem.
After some negotiations with Phillips, Ball finalized the details of his new contract, which was £500,000, meaning that the new contract was three years, and Jones's weekly salary was increased from £120,000 to £210,000.
Although Jones is young and doesn't play much, Jones' performance is worth the money, and the soccer player's salary increase can be increased based on his performance on the field.
Jones had a headache when he thought about those contract details, but fortunately he had a trustworthy agent! It's not going to be possible for him to spend too much time negotiating with the team on things like weekly salaries, contracts, and even more so with sponsors and stuff.
"Bauer, let's go to dinner, well, we haven't had a good talk lately." Jones said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take the opportunity to talk to you about the company, and we're celebrating that you've done at the age of 18 to a point that many players can't do in their lifetime." Bauer also said with a smile, then turned around and went to drive.
Naturally, the Sun did not want to give up the topic of Jones, and they continued to talk in the newspaper: Jones did not dare to respond positively to the chaotic life off the field, and as for the perfect performance on the court, it proved that Jones was not that perfect.
The Sun is signaling that Jones is perfect on the pitch, then he can't be perfect off the pitch, and he will be Chelsea's biggest problem in the future.
The Sun also said that day is not far off and Chelsea must be prepared for the possible fall of Jones, otherwise they believe Chelsea are about to lose more.
