Time: January 26, 2014, 2:30 p.m.

Where: Leicester, Belvoir base.

Jon Rudkin, the club's sporting director, who was working in the office, noticed a new email from his mailbox.

When he opened the mailbox curiously, he found that the sender of the email was actually Arsenal Club!

The content of the email is very simple:

Arsenal want to trigger the liquidated damages clause in Ling Feng's contract and bring Ling Feng to Arsenal for one million pounds!

Ling Feng?

Penalty?

Million?!

After reading the content of the email, Rudkin's expression has become very serious.

As the club's sporting director, he certainly knows Ling Feng, a young talent discovered by his own academy.

The club's recent success is largely due to the eighteen-year-old.

Because of this, he instantly realized the seriousness of this email!

He immediately raised his hand and reached for the landline phone on the desktop, and instructed the secretary:

"Anna, help me find the paper version of the contract that Ling Feng signed with the club!"

"Bring it to my office immediately!"

After instructing the secretary, he immediately pressed the shortcut key and called the phone number of the team's head coach's office:

"Hello, Jon?"

"Nigel, I have something very important to tell you, please come to the office right away!"

Just minutes later, head coach Nigel Pearson opened the door.

"What's going on?"

"A club has made an offer to our players!"

As soon as these words came out, Pearson was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and asked rhetorically:

"Someone's overpriced?"

Rudkin nodded,

"That's right!"

"We must not agree! He is the present and future of our club!! No matter what the price, we never..."

"Calm down!"

Raising his hand to interrupt the excited Pearson, Ruud opened his hands, pressed down, and then comforted:

"Don't worry, Nigel, I think the same thing as you. The club also did not plan to sell Ling Feng. ”

"However, now it's not a question of whether we want to sell or not, but the other party wants to trigger the liquidated damages clause in Ling Feng's contract and take him away directly!"

Many clubs' young players will add a certain amount of liquidated damages when signing their first professional contract.

Some famous players will also have a liquidated damages clause.

The liquidated damages clause can greatly facilitate the fact that players will not be unable to transfer if they plan to move to a bigger club.

"Liquidated damages? What are his liquidated damages? ”

Hearing this, Rudkin raised a finger helplessly.

"Only 10 million?!"

"You think beautifully, a million!"

"A Million ?!!"

Pearson was shocked by the outrageously low number, and his voice was even sharper subconsciously.

"That's right, the contract is here, see for yourself..."

Pearson, who couldn't believe it, had to accept this cruel fact after repeatedly reading the paper contract signed by Ling Feng with the club.

It was only then that Pearson realised that he and the club had forgotten something very important.

That is, when Ling Feng played amazingly, they forgot to renew the contract with Ling Feng!!

No matter how much he regrets it in his heart, at this moment, he has no time to investigate whose responsibility it is.

Their immediate priority is how to deal with this.

For Leicester City, Ling Feng is their own academy player, and he is also the team's most potential and valuable player.

Once he is lost, the club will inevitably face strong opposition from the fans!

Especially being bought by other clubs for such a low price of a million pounds.

Rudkin could even foresee fans gathering outside the club to protest or swipe the official website for name-calling.

Therefore, from the perspective of Leicester City Club, they have to let Ling Feng stay no matter what!

Thinking of this, Rudkin frowned deeply and looked at the team's head coach:

"Nigel, do you think we have a chance to convince Ling Feng to stay?"

In fact, they still have a chance to stay with Ling Feng.

That is to renew the contract with Ling Feng and sign a new contract!

Although Arsenal intend to trigger liquidated damages in the contract, they can directly bypass the club and negotiate directly with the player.

However, whether the penalty is high or low, the premise is that the player agrees to the transfer.

As long as the player does not agree to the transfer, this transfer cannot be established!

Now, it's not a question of whether the money is or not, it's a question of whether the players want to or not.

Hearing this, Pearson was tempted to say "yes"

However, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them.

After all, it is the Premier League giants, the young demons' favorite Arsenal, who are making the offer!

"Professor" Arsene Wenger is simply a coveted mentor and bole for young players.

Pearson thought about it differently and felt that if he were Ling Feng, he would also choose Arsenal, which can play in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Although I was very pessimistic in my heart.

However, he still perked up and answered Rudkin's question in a deep voice:

"It's Arsenal, it's not a big chance. But we have to give it a try! ”

。。。

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Leicester.

Ling Feng, who was enjoying a rare holiday at home, received a call from Mahrez.

"Riad?"

"Are you at home? I'm at a coffee shop near your house, and I'd like to treat you to a cup of coffee and introduce you to a friend by the way. ”

Faced with Mahrez's sudden invitation, Ling Feng didn't think too much about it, and agreed.

However, what Ling Feng didn't expect was that in addition to Mahrez, there was also a middle-aged man in a black suit who looked very capable.

"Riad, who is this?"

Without waiting for Mahrez to introduce him, the man stood up first and stretched out his right hand to Ling Feng.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ling."

Ling Feng was a little confused, but he still reached out and shook it.

"When we meet for the first time, allow me to introduce myself... My name is Jorge Mendes, a football agent. Here's my business card..."

With that, Mendez took out a black card with an obvious material from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it over.

Hearing the other party's name, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Mendes... I know you. ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the middleman Mahrez, and said with a smile:

"Riad, your friend is a big man."

Mahrez just smiled and explained: "You told me you don't have an agent, so..."

Although it is not very clear why Mendes and Mahrez would know each other.

However, as a predator in football, Mendes naturally has his own connections and connections.

When Ling Feng sat down, Mendes took the lead in expressing his apology:

"Ling, I'm sorry to get to know you in this way, and still bother you on your vacation days..."

"It's okay, you came to me to be my agent?"

Facing Ling Feng's straightforwardness, Mendes was slightly stunned, and then nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's right. But before that, I personally want to ask you some questions, okay? ”

"Please."

In the next second, Mendes first straightened the collar of his suit, and then leaned forward slightly, looking at Ling Feng with blazing eyes.

Immediately afterwards, this super agent in the football world, like a salesman selling health care products, and like a god stick promoting faith, painted a bright future for Ling Feng:

"Do you want to play on a higher stage?"

"Do you want to play in the Champions League?"

"Do you want to make more money?"

"Do you want to own your own private jet and luxury car mansion?"

"Do you want your parents to live a prosperous life?"

"Just let me be your agent, and I'll help you achieve all this!"
