Villa is not cheap, it is cheap, even surprisingly cheap. When Rondoiro listened to Rist's recommendation and negotiated with Sporting Gijón, Rondoiro found out that Villa was cheaper than what Lister said.

The Spanish club is now one poorer than the other. In addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, of course, Atletico Madrid are also getting by now, after all, they have the support of the old Hill. The other clubs are really poor, poor jingle. Now even Spanish powerhouses such as Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia are in a huge financial crisis, and other small clubs can't even afford to pay their salaries.

That's the case with Sporting Gijón. The Spanish second division has no income in the first place, and since the Spanish economy has been in some trouble, these clubs have been even poorer every day. When Rondoiro told Sporting Gijón that Deportivo was a big fan of David. When Villa was interested, there was no lion on Sporting Gijón's side at all.

One million two million euros, Sporting Gijón has nothing to say. Even Rist miscalculated. Although Villa is a player in the Spanish second division, he has scored a lot of goals in the Spanish second division, scoring 18 goals last season. Now the half season is not over, and eight goals have been scored. In Lister's opinion, it should be between two million euros and three million euros. This is still an underestimate, because this is Spain.

If this is England, then Villa is more than five million pounds. After all, a 20-year-old is also a young player, and 18 goals in the second division of the league is still a good result. But this is Spain. There are also many players from the big B team in the Spanish second division. Therefore, the value of players in the Spanish second division is generally not high. Rist estimates that Villa should be worth between two million and three million. But I didn't expect 1.2 million euros for Sporting Gijón to let go.

Of course, the so-called letting go is to let go in the winter. After discussions between Rondoiro and Irueta, they want to bring in Villa in the winter transfer.

"Rist, that's too low."

Rondoiro and Rist discuss Villa's contract issues, which could lead to Deportivo joining Deportivo in the winter, as long as the contract issues are resolved.

Rondoiro is becoming more and more stingy now, and of course Deportivo is indeed stretched. Rondoiro turned out to give Villa only an annual salary of 400,000 euros. Villa can get an annual salary of 300,000 euros in the second division, and it is unacceptable for Lister to only add 100,000 euros to him. So Rist also set four million euros in liquidated damages. This made Rondoiro unacceptable. Is four million euros also money?

"Augusto, you and I have worked together for many years. You should know my rules. That's the case with all my players. I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. ”

Rondolphi twitched. Of course he understood Rist's rules. Since Rister established himself in Spanish football, the contracts he has signed have all been the same. The liquidated damages are ten times the annual salary, and this is true for any player. Just like Jankoller and Vicente, the reason why their liquidated damages are low is because of this. Rist was definitely the first to directly link liquidated damages to wages by a definite multiple.

But it's also to the point where Rist comes to this point. to be able to fight for such liquidated damages for their players. If you want to switch to any other broker. Neither has the confidence and qualifications to bargain with the club so much. Rondoiro looked at Rist. With the decline of A Coruña, the current Rondoiro and Rist are not in a position to bargain in this regard.

But Rondoiro was not reconciled. Four million euros in liquidated damages, what kind of liquidated damages are this? Four million euros is also money? Spanish clubs are poor. Serie A is starting to decline, but it's easy for a random mid-to-lower club in England to shell out four million euros. Don't talk about those clubs, let's talk about Lister in front of you. As a predator, Rondoiro knew that Rist could easily come up with four million euros. If the cooperation doesn't go well by then, Rist can take Villa with him at any time.

Rondoiro doesn't want the player he just bought to leave the club at will, and he doesn't want Lister to use such liquidated damages to hold the club down. As long as Villa is a little bit better at Deportivo La Coruna, then they are worth more than that. This is especially true for striker players. The value of a striker is the easiest to go up.

"Rist, but that's too low."

Rondolpho wanted to show some pathetic. But Rist has been dealing with Rondoiro for so many years, and he is too familiar with Rondoiro. So he smiled and said, "Augusto, I won't tell you anything else." I'll give you an analysis of David's income. With an annual salary of 400,000 euros, deducting my share and adding some taxes, David can actually get only as much money. I can say that David's salary must be at the bottom of the entire La Liga. Of course, such a salary penalty cannot be high. ”

Rondoiro looked at Rist's smile and knew that it was useless for him to pretend to be pitiful. Of course, he also knew in his heart that Villa's annual salary of 400,000 was indeed the lowest salary in La Liga.

"Augusto, do you know? I'm going to push for a different kind of liquidated damages situation in La Liga lately. In the future, the liquidated damages of our players will no longer be linked to the annual salary, but to the annual salary after tax. I will set up liquidated damages at 10 times the annual salary after tax. ”

Rondoiro's fat face kept shaking. Because at present, the tax in Spain is not low, especially those high-paid players are taxed at around 45%. That is to say, some top players can get a salary of 4 million, 5 million, 6 million euros, but the actual amount that players can get is only about 2 million or 3 million.

According to Rist's previous standards, the liquidated damages for those players could reach 40 million, 50 million, 60 million euros. But once Riester's new standard is implemented, the liquidated damages will become 20 million or 30 million euros.

Rondolphi took a deep breath. In the current La Liga football world, the players who can get an annual salary of more than 4 million are the top players. They are worth more than 30 million euros, but it is not impossible to reach 40 million euros or 50 million euros. But Rist dared to set up liquidated damages in this way.

Rondoiro doesn't think Rist is bragging. Because when Rist set up liquidated damages at ten times his annual salary, many people also thought it was unlikely. But Riester just promoted it according to his own practice, so much so that many local Spanish agents also began to learn from Lister.

"Augusto, we have a good relationship, so I'll just say it. Fernando of Atletico Madrid in my heart. Torres and David. Villa is on equal footing. I've started talking to Atletico about Fernando's new contract, and I won't sign it for less than €4 million a year. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Rondoiro closed his eyes and thought for a moment. For Rister to help Torres get a salary of more than four million euros, Rondoiro does not think it is impossible. Although it has been difficult, Rondoiro believes that Rist is really capable of helping Torres get a high salary. It's not just Rist who has that ability and quality, but Torres is the treasure of the whole of Atletico. Now Rist bluntly said that in his heart, Villa is the same as Torres, and he is showing Rondoiro that he is very optimistic about Villa.

Rondoiro believed Rist's gaze, but thought about Deportivo's current economic situation, sighed and shook his head. Zuihou could only grit his teeth and look at Rist and said, "Rist, I can't accept this liquidated damages." I can't raise my salary again either. Villa is only a player from the second division and it is impossible to give him a higher salary at the current level of Deportivo La Coruna. Rist, how about you make a step? ”

"Take a step?"

Rist's fingers kept tapping to the negotiating table, his mind thinking. Lister understands Rondoiro, after all, Deportivo doesn't need to go bankrupt now, but the financial situation is really difficult. It is unlikely that he will raise Villa's salary. But in the same way, Rist can't let Villa suffer, and after becoming Villa's agent, he can't get benefits for him, so he really became an agent for nothing.

If the salary cannot be increased, then it can only be considered at the bonus level. Villa, this is a prolific goalscorer, and he has a lot of assists. In Valencia, they are also able to mix five or six assists per season.

So Rist said: "Augusto, how about I take a step back in terms of liquidated damages and set it to 10 million euros?" ”

Rondoiro didn't answer, but looked straight at Rist. Rondolpho knew Rist well. Although Rist is not a master of goose plucking, he is definitely not a master who gives up his own interests at will. Since Rist is willing to give up a step, there must be the same demand.

"Since Deportivo can't raise David's salary, how about raising the bonus for goals and assists? I'll just calculate that David can get a million a year. An annual salary of 400,000 euros and a bonus of 600,000 euros are calculated. Let's assume that David has a total of 20 goals and assists per season. What do you think of the €3,000 bonus for goals and assists? ”

Raising the bonus is indeed a way to do it. But what Rondoiro heard from Rister was Rist's strong self-confidence. Rondoiro could tell that Rist had high expectations for Villa. Listening to Lister's words, the self-confidence that Rondoiro has been holding back all these years has also come out. He said very boldly, "Yes, Riester." Since you have so much confidence in your players, let's increase the prize amount. ”

So the two men quickly came to an agreement. Villa and Deportivo signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with an annual salary of only 400,000 euros, but the goal bonus and assist bonus were both 3,000 euros. The liquidated damages are tens of millions of euros. (To be continued......)
