Chapter 60 Ronaldo Real Madrid talks about collapse, Real Madrid chases Lin Quan with all his might, and Manchester City can't sit still
Mendes is not very supportive of Ronaldo's idea of leaving Real Madrid, because he knows very well that the only way to stay at Real Madrid is to use Real Madrid's influence and strong momentum in football.
Cristiano Ronaldo can maintain his current status and influence in football, and once he turns against Real Madrid and leaves Real Madrid, his influence is bound to decline greatly.
At that time, without the operation of Real Madrid, it will be too difficult for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or.
Moreover, for a supergiant like Cristiano Ronaldo, there are really not many clubs suitable for him to go to.
Going to a new team and having to adapt is too risky for a player his age.
Once you lose the bet, it's doomed.
Therefore, Mendes tried in every possible way to persuade Ronaldo to calm down and not act impulsively.
But the more he did this, the more Ronaldo couldn't calm down.
He felt that Mendes only cared about his business empire and did not think about himself at all, which made Ronaldo feel very unhappy.
"Enough, I don't want to listen to these words anymore, either go find me a suitable next home, or let Real Madrid accept my conditions, and don't say anything else!"
Ronaldo did not give Mendes any face, but said in an almost commanding tone.
Mendes was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ronaldo with some complications.
The two have been working together for 13 years, and when Mendes first discovered Ronaldo, Ronaldo was nowhere near as famous as he is now.
It was he who used his business acumen and connections in football to recommend Ronaldo to Ferguson, help Ronaldo land in the Premier League to join Manchester United, and then use Manchester United as a springboard to transfer to Real Madrid for the world's first price.
It can be said that Ronaldo's ability to get to this point is inseparable from his talent and strength, but in addition, a large part of the credit is Mendes.
But now, the relationship between the two has reached such a field, which makes Mendes feel very bitter in his heart.
Sure enough, the wings were stiff and I was going to fly solo.
"Okay, I'll go find Florentino!"
Mendes nodded with a wry smile, didn't say anything more, left Ronaldo's residence directly, bought the nearest ticket and flew directly to Madrid, to find the president of Real Madrid.
In Florentino's office, Galeries Lafayette was not surprised by Mendes' visit.
There was news from the club that Ronaldo, a kid with insufficient hearts, was clamoring for a salary increase, which made Lafayette feel quite unhappy.
Ronaldo's annual salary is not low, with an annual salary of 17 million euros after tax, which is enough to rank second in today's football, second only to Manchester City's Lin Quan.
Although it is rumored that Barcelona wants to raise Messi's salary, this kind of thing is only dazzling after all, and it has not yet been implemented.
When Barcelona really gets promoted and raised with Messi, it will not be too late for Real Madrid to make another move.
The contract can be renewed at any time, but the use of a salary increase to blackmail Real Madrid made Florentino very unhappy.
Real Madrid is not a player who has the final say, Real Madrid is the president of the club who has the final say!
Therefore, Fiorentino rejected Mendes' request for a salary increase for Ronaldo.
"Jorge, Ronaldo has made a great contribution to Real Madrid over the years and helped us win a La Liga title, but you are not unclear about Real Madrid's salary system, if you really give Ronaldo a salary increase, then Modric should you get a salary increase? Does Benzema want a raise? Does Bell want a raise? ”
Florentino's words made Mendes smile bitterly in his heart, Ronaldo only helped the team win 1 La Liga championship in six years at Real Madrid, is this an outstanding contribution to Real Madrid?
How do you feel that the chairman is sarcastically mocking himself and Ronaldo?
As for the question of Real Madrid's salary system, it is indeed a problem.
However, with Casillas on the verge of leaving, there are not many players in the Real Madrid team who are older than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Modric and Benzema are not as strong as Ronaldo, so naturally they can't be generalized with Ronaldo.
Although Bale's strength is good, he came too late and his qualifications are far inferior to Ronaldo.
So, to put it mildly, it's just Florentino's excuse, and the other party made it clear that he didn't want to give Ronaldo a raise.
"Galeries Lafayette, Cristiano is a very competitive player and like Real Madrid, he wants to win all kinds of honours on the pitch."
"But the club has lost several times in the Champions League, since he joined the team, the club has changed three managers, the team is still very far from the Champions League title, Cristiano is 30 years old this year, he wants to realize his dream again before he retires, I hope Galeries Lafayette can give him such a chance."
Mendes politely said to Florentillo that he still has many players playing for Real Madrid, so he can't completely offend the president of Real Madrid because of Ronaldo's matter.
Mendes said it very tactfully, Real Madrid wants to keep Ronaldo, in fact, it is very simple.
Either give him a raise and keep him with money.
Either continue to increase reinforcements and supplement his strength, so that Ronaldo can see that staying at Real Madrid can allow him to win the coveted Champions League and Ballon d'Or.
If one of these two things can be satisfied, then Mendes will be able to carry out Ronaldo's work when he returns.
But if Real Madrid doesn't say anything, then it will be difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not a marionette at the mercy of others, he is a very assertive person.
Once Mendes can't do what he asks, he will most likely change agents and fire Mendes, even if the other party is the number one agent in football!
As his No. 1 star, to be honest, Mendes doesn't want to have such a stiff relationship with Ronaldo.
The reason why his company can be what it is today is not only because of his excellent business acumen and character who dare to fight, but also because of the successful signing of Ronaldo.
Without the superstars and top coaches such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, he would not have been a guest at so many big clubs.
Without the connections of these giants, his players would not have been able to operate into these teams so easily.
But at this point, he can only try to redeem it as much as possible, after all, the contradiction between Ronaldo and Real Madrid is irreconcilable.
"Hehe, if he wants to leave, we won't set up obstacles, as long as the other party can afford the liquidated damages!"
Florentilo smiled, unconcerned about Mendes' hidden threat.
Isn't it just threatening yourself that Ronaldo is leaving?
He Ronaldo is indeed very powerful, but without him Ronaldo, Real Madrid is still the world's top giant, and its strength will not be greatly affected.
Even, as long as that person can be bought, then Real Madrid's strength will increase instead of decreasing, and maybe it will become stronger.
That's why Florentilo's side is so confident and puts on an attitude of not caring.
Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed very strong and very important to Real Madrid, if he is willing to stay at Real Madrid, then Florentilo is naturally welcome.
But if he really wants to go, then Real Madrid won't stop him.
This summer, Real Madrid will join the army chasing Lin Quan.
Considering the high transfer fee required to buy Lin Quan, and the fact that after he comes to the team, someone needs to make room for him and the position of the boss of the team.
If Real Madrid can really buy Lin Quan, it is almost inevitable to send Ronaldo away.
A few years ago, Florentilo had the idea of letting Lin Quan give Ronaldo a hand, but now, after Lin Quan continued to prove his strength in various arenas, he completely broke off this idea.
Although he won't say it on the surface, in Florentino's heart, he feels that Lin Quan is much better than Ronaldo.
If Manchester City were willing to exchange, he would have packed Ronaldo early in the morning.
Although Ronaldo's strength is not as good as Lin Quan, he is also one of the Big Three.
Thirty years old is not too old, and if you transfer away at this time, you can earn more than 150 million euros.
With this money, Real Madrid has a lot of money to buy Lin Quan.
As for the result that Lin didn't come and Ronaldo was let go again, Florentilo didn't think about it.
Anyway, Real Madrid's record in recent years is not good, when there is Ronaldo, you can't win the championship, and when you don't have Ronaldo, it's the same as before, is it possible that Real Madrid can still be relegated?
Besides, after he fired Carlo Ancelotti and promoted Zidane, Real Madrid will face a rebuild.
For a team that is in the midst of a rebuild, there is no way to demand too much from their record.
Therefore, Real Madrid can fully bear the consequences of Ronaldo's departure, which is why he is not afraid of Mendes' threat.
Hearing Lafayette's words, Mendez sighed.
The differences between the two sides are too great, and this negotiation has completely failed.
Messi and Lin all have at least 2 Champions Leagues next door, and Ronaldo now only has one, and for the championship, his departure from Real Madrid may be a foregone conclusion.
……
Just when the relationship between Ronaldo and Real Madrid was stiff, Manchester City's side also felt a little nervous about the rumors of the outside world robbing Lin Quan.
"We only have three years left on our contract with Lin Quan, will it be too short?"
"It's a bit short, three years is fleeting, and I think we should renew the contract with him for another five years and extend the contract until 2020!"
Lin Quan's contract was signed in the summer of 2013 for a period of five years, which expires in the summer of 2018.
Of course, the club usually renews the player's contract in advance, and will not wait until the contract expires.
The more important the player, the sooner the contract extension negotiations will begin, a year or even two years in advance.
But Lin Quan's current contract still has three years left, and Manchester City can't sit still and wants to start contract renewal negotiations in advance, which is indeed a bit abnormal.
Just when the whole club supported renewing the contract with Lin Quan as soon as possible, someone suddenly said:
"But in this case, the new contract must be a salary increase for him, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately fell silent.
Lin Quan's annual salary is the highest in the Premier League and even the entire football world of 20 million pounds, with a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds.
Generally speaking, the club takes the initiative to renew the contract in advance, and it must be a salary increase on the basis of the original.
With Lin Quan's current annual salary, even if Manchester City only increases by 10%, it will be a huge expense.
What's more, if it is only increased by 10%, it seems a bit insincere, and the players are likely not to agree, and even have emotions because of it, so that the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, regarding the renewal of the contract with Lin Quan, the club's senior management held a meeting to discuss it for several days, but they couldn't make up their minds.
In the end, Manchester City chairman Fahim personally went to Abu Dhabi and met with the big boss Mansour, and then the matter was settled.
Manchester City intend to offer Lin Quan a new contract worth £250 million.
The term of the contract is 5 years and the deadline is June 30, 2020.
In this new contract, Manchester City offer Lin Quan an annual salary of up to 25 million pounds, and in addition to his annual salary, he also has a 125 million pounds loyalty bonus.
During the term of the contract, Lin Quan can get 15 million, 20 million, 25 million, 30 million and 35 million pounds of loyalty bonuses in the past five years.
If Lin Quan signs this contract, he will defend his position as the highest-paid player in football.
Not only that, even if Barcelona really offered Messi a sky-high contract, Messi's annual salary is still 5 million euros less than Lin Quan's.
Lin Quan will also break the football record and become the first player to stand on the 30 million euro annual salary.
If you include the loyalty award, his income is almost more than the annual salary of the entire team of most of the five major leagues.
Manchester City was full of confidence, and after getting the instructions of the big boss, they immediately found Lin Quan's agent Pere and wanted to start negotiations with him to renew his contract.
Pere was very shocked by the contract offered by Manchester City, and he deserves to be the No. 1 tycoon in the Premier League, which is too arrogant, right?
If he was Lin Quan, he couldn't wait to sign his name on the agreement immediately.
But it's a pity that he is not, so Pere can only find Lin Quan and report the matter to him.
"Isn't there three years left on the contract? Why are Manchester City in such a hurry? ”
After taking a look at the new contract that Pere took, Lin Quan was almost blinded by the long list of numbers on it.
But now he is no longer the poor ghost who relied on Barcelona's bonus bamboo pole a few years ago, after getting Manchester City's sky-high signing fee and high salary, as well as a lot of sponsorship fees.
Lin Quan's net worth at this time has exceeded 300 million euros.
And that's not even counting his investments in the internet and Bitcoin, which would be worth more than €1 billion if you count all of these assets.
With so many assets in his hands, money is really just a string of numbers for him.
Therefore, he is more concerned about the reasons behind Manchester City's actions.
"It should be the transfer rumors about you that have made Manchester City feel a sense of crisis and desperate to renew your contract to ensure that you don't leave Manchester City, right?"
Perret's guess was similar to what Lin Quan thought in his heart, and he also felt that this was the most likely.
However, Lin Quan did not really want to sign such a long contract with Manchester City.
The weather in Manchester is really bad, not only Spanish players such as Negredo can't stand it and want to leave, but Lin Quan also doesn't like the climate here.
And the food in the UK is really bad, and the longer you stay here, the more you dislike it.
On top of that, after staying with a team for too long and getting all the accolades, players lose their motivation, lose motivation, and even get bored.
Therefore, Lin Quan instructed Pere to put aside the contract renewal request from Manchester City for the time being, and then make a decision after he has thought about it comprehensively.
Before that, Lin Quan didn't want others to disturb his vacation.
Finally able to get a good rest, he decided to go out and relax.
After all, next year, when Spain is going to play the European Championship, he may not have such a long vacation.
