"Renewal?"

Rist was surprised, but didn't show it on his face. However, it is impossible for Lister not to be surprised, Lister is talking to PSV Eindhoven about Messi's contract extension, but he did not expect to receive a message from Chelsea CEO Peter. Kenyon's phone.

Kenyon approached Rist very simply, wanting to discuss Drogba, Cech, and their contract extensions. This surprised Rist, who had been an agent for so long, and this was the first time this situation had occurred. Every time the club wanted to renew the contract of a player from Rist, it was a decision made out of desperation.

Just like when Rist was in La Liga, he set a low liquidated damages. When the player performs well and there is a buyer, then the club will be in a hurry to renew Rist's contract. Rist used this method to extort a lot of money in La Liga. From Poboski to Villa, these people have made a lot of money from such contracts. But these things were all made by Lister in order to force the club to talk about a contract extension.

But the current Drogba, Petr Cech don't have that problem. They arrived at Chelsea in the summer of '04 and are on contract for less than a year. And their contract is relatively good, if it is placed at Arsenal, it is the level of the highest salary. Rist had thought about changing their contract, but didn't have a concrete idea yet. I just know that it's either this summer or this winter to change the contract. But I really didn't expect Chelsea to take the initiative to raise the issue of contract renewal. It's a good thing that fell from the sky.

Surprise is surprise, but Rist, as the agent predator, did not show surprise. Instead, it didn't matter if he took the first contract renewal sent by Kenyon. After seeing it. Rist's surprise grew higher and higher. Because the contract is so good, Haode has made Rister wonder if Chelsea are in the water.

'Peter, to be honest Chelsea's contract is really good overall.

Rist has been an agent for more than a decade, and for the first time he has seen that he has not yet won such a haode contract. Chelsea are willing to offer Drogba £100,000 a week and Cech £90,000 a week. This kind of salary is one of the best in European football, and it is completely the first salary. Even within the Chelsea squad, the current highest-paid ones are John Terry and Frank Lampard, who are paid £100,000. The contracts between the two of them are all the treatment of European football superstars. It's the treatment of superstars like Ronaldo, Raul, Figo, Zidane, and Beckham.

It's not just the weekly salary that Rister is happy with, but also the various bonuses that Chelsea have taken out. In fact, the annual income that Chelsea players receive from the club is more than just their salary. The prize money is also higher than other clubs. This is another form issued by Chelsea Football Club in order to avoid taxes.

"How's that, Riester. What do you think the contract could change? You can bring it up at any time. ”

Rist put the contract aside. smiled and said: "I took a cursory look, and on the whole I was quite satisfied." But I need to go back and think about the specific details, you give me a little time. I'll come to you in a few days. ”

"Okay."

After all, this kind of contract cannot be signed at once. Rist was going to go back and take a look, to see if there were any holes in it. After all, it's a four-year contract. Both sides need to be cautious. Every time a player has a contract extension, it is not negotiated once or twice. It takes a long time.

Rist put the contract aside. Then he looked at Kenyon and said, "Peter, why is Chelsea so generous all of a sudden." ”

"It's not that we're generous, it's that Didier and Peter are doing so well. The club wants to reward them. ”

Kenyon was right. Didier Drogba has arrived at Chelsea this season. Performing in the Premier League is exactly what you value. Towards the end of the season, Drogba has scored 16 goals in the Premier League, two in the FA Cup and five in the Champions League, for a total of 23 goals.

More than that, Drogba's tactics made a big difference. One man up front can disrupt the opposition defence, giving wingers such as Arjen Robben and Duff and Joe Cole huge space to sprint, as well as giving Frank Lampard the chance to shoot from behind. As a center player, he has seven assists this season.

Drogba's performance was very satisfying for Chelsea. The 27-year-old Drogba has become one of the Premier League's top strikers thanks to his performances at Chelsea.

As for Cech, needless to say. At the age of 23, he has already won the Premier League Goalkeeper of the Year once and is the Premier League's No. 1 Goalkeeper of the Year this season. Petr Cech is currently the goalkeeper in European football who can be compared to Gianluigi Buffon, Kahn and Casillas. It should be said that the current market of Cech is higher than Casillas. Petr Cech has already won the European Championship and the Shijie Cup with his national team, and his fame is growing with his entry into Chelsea.

The two have been among the best of Chelsea's signings this season. Including Robben and Carvalho, they have become the most effective players.

'Peter, even if they do well, Chelsea don't need to be in such a hurry. I should be in a hurry to renew my contract like this,"

"What do you want to know, Rist?"

"No, it's just a bit of an accident."

Unlike other agents, Rist is an agent oligarchy that spans more than a dozen leagues across Europe. It's not just that Lister ends up doing business with one or two players with a club, but instead is an agent who can influence a club's policy. In the same way, in order to do business, Lister has to be aware of some changes in the policies of the big clubs all the time.

"There's really no other reason. Chelsea are a latecomer club and are no match for the giants of European football in any way except money. But Mr Abramovich wants Chelsea to be on an equal footing with the big names in European football anytime soon, so that's all I can think of. ”

Lister didn't understand Kenyon's words at first, because Chelsea had known about it. But what does it have to do with the sudden salary increase for Drogba and Cech.

However, after all, Rist has been in this industry for many years, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he was surprised: "Why, Chelsea want to bring in superstars." ”

There is only one answer. There are only two ways for Chelsea to increase their impact in a short period of time. One was to get Chelsea to win the title in a short period of time, and that's all Mourinho is doing now. Jose Mourinho has won six trophies with Chelsea in three years, including two Premier League titles. These titles have taken Chelsea up a notch.

Another option is to bring in superstars. If the superstar can choose Chelsea, it will show that Chelsea's appeal has increased significantly. The increase in attractiveness is another indication of the club's influence.

Winning the championship is a season-long test. But the introduction of superstars can directly bring huge influence. Just like now Chelsea have brought in superstars such as Raul, Thierry Henry and Totti, who are in the playing years, and immediately enhance Chelsea's influence. Now give Didier Drogba and Petr Cech a salary increase, which is for the introduction of superstars.

"Rist, you really should be at the top of the club."

Kenyon nodded and smiled, "You're right. Mr Abramovich wants to expand Chelsea's influence by bringing in superstars. But for Chelsea, money is the most attractive. That's why Chelsea want to reward the players for their performance and give them a high salary. In this way, we have the confidence to negotiate with the superstar, and we are not afraid that the introduction of the superstar will displease the original Chelsea players. ”

"Yes."

Rist understood what Kenyon meant. Isn't this the same effect as the ancient Chinese "a thousand gold buys horse bones". Give the current Chelsea players a pay boost and give those superstars a glimpse of Chelsea's boldness. Then the negotiations are much more favorable. And it has also greatly increased Chelsea's influence.

100,000 pounds, Drogba has only been at Chelsea for a year to get a salary of 100,000 pounds. At Arsenal, like super goalscorer Thierry Henry, super midfielder Patrick Vieira, Arsenal's most talented Pire, and Ashley, known as the Premier League's first left-back. Cole, the quality of these players is first-class, but how can the salary compare with Drogba and Cech.

That's what people are. Although Drogba has performed well this season, he is definitely not comparable to Thierry Henry at the moment. Thierry Henry is a true sharpshooter in the Premier League, and in the first five years of the 21st century, he was one of the top scorers in European football. But what is Henry's salary now, and how much is his previous salary. There will certainly be some discontent, including Patrick Vieira who is far ahead of Frank Lampard at the moment, but not as good as them in terms of salary.

Such a salary system will certainly be attractive, and it will certainly attract quite a few people. Maybe the superstar players will be interested, too. After all, Chelsea is going to have money and championships, and superstar players are also people and need money. When there is a lot of money that people can't refuse, superstars will also be attracted.

'Peter, I've heard Coach Jose Mourinho say Chelsea can only have one superstar and that's himself.

"Yes."

Kenyon nodded. Although Kenyon and Ferguson have worked together, Mourinho is the tougher man than Ferguson. When it comes to dealing with his boss at the club, Ferguson is far smarter than Jose Mourinho. Of course, Mourinho is not inferior to Ferguson when it comes to controlling the dressing room, but he is a little less slick than Ferguson.

"But there's no way around it. Mr Abramovich has always been obsessed with the prospect of Chelsea bringing in a shijie-caliber player. Jose is just a manager. ”

"That's fun."

Chelsea's policy changes, Rister figured it out. However, Lister can only be happy because Chelsea will continue to raise salaries once they bring in superstars. Now the highest salary in the Premier League is 100,000 pounds, and it won't be a few years before 120,000, 130,000 or even 150,000 or 160,000 will appear. Now is really the most haode moment for brokers. (To be continued......)
