Regarding Ling Feng's answer, Mendez on the other end of the phone, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, not surprised at all.

In Mendes' eyes, Ling Feng has a maturity that does not match his age.

He is steady, knows how to weigh the weight, and has his own unique views on things.

Real Madrid's offer is a huge temptation for any player.

However, it took him less than a few seconds to refuse.

It is conceivable that he already has a clear understanding of the path he wants to take!

Of course, it is not difficult to make this decision.

Long before participating in the World Cup, Ling Feng guessed that once he performed well in the World Cup, there would definitely be giants who took a fancy to him.

It's just that I didn't expect that the expected giant was Real Madrid

Ling Feng is very aware of his current career, but it is just beginning.

Plenty of playing time and space to play is what he needs!

Even if his performance in the World Cup is amazing, his fame and value have skyrocketed.

But as a Championship player who has never played a Premier League game, he is really fortunate to join Real Madrid, and it is impossible to get too many opportunities to play at the Bernabeu!

Let's not talk about the BBC combination in the frontcourt, Ling Feng does not conflict with the position of the three of them.

Real Madrid's midfielders are all well-known stars or famous players.

Luka Modric, Xavi Alonso, Di Maria, Isco, Khedira, Ilia Ramendi.

Among these people, perhaps except for Ilia Ramendi, the other players have a higher status of fame and game experience than him.

If you want to play the main force as soon as you transfer, it is basically impossible.

Of course, Ling Feng thinks that with his current strength, there is no problem at all to gain a foothold in Real Madrid and play a rotation of the main force.

However, playing in a big club is not so simple.

Even if you have excellent individual strength, you may not be able to adapt to the coach's tactics and get along with the big guys in the dressing room.

Although the transfer to Real Madrid also has a lot of benefits.

For example, more exposure, higher salary, stronger team, easier to win championships.

However, the competition within the team is also fierce.

Every move is exposed under the spotlight of the media.

Even if he is not in good form, the manager may dismiss him.

Countless superstars have experienced similar situations at Real Madrid.

Sneijder, Robben, Beckham, Kaka.

Even if he really won the championship with the team in the end, it was all the credit of star players such as Ronaldo and Bale.

And he, as a rotation player, is nothing more than an inconsequential supporting role for Real Madrid.

It's hard to live again, and there is a system by his side, Ling Feng doesn't plan to be anyone's little brother or supporting role.

If you want to do it, you can be the protagonist!

is still the same sentence, rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow.

Instead of going to Real Madrid as a rotation or substitute, it is better to stay in Leicester City as the absolute core!

At Leicester City, he has all the favourites of the manager and the club and the fans;

has plenty of playing time;

Absolute tactical freedom and unlimited firing rights!

This is something that Real Madrid can't give him.

Regarding the issue of transfer, as early as the winter window, when facing Arsenal's invitation, Ling Feng had an in-depth discussion with Mendes.

He will leave Leicester City in due course to join a big club.

But it's not the winter window, and it's not after the World Cup!

"A wise decision!"

"I'll get back to Real Madrid, don't worry."

After a pause, Mendes changed his words:

"By the way, after seeing your wonderful performance in the quarterfinals, Nike, Adidas and Puma immediately contacted me and made new offers"

"Nike £1.2 million a year, £500,000 for a five-year contract"

"Adidas is also 1.2 million a year, and the signing fee is 400,000."

"Puma is 1.5 million a year"

Among the new offers, they have increased by hundreds of thousands compared with the previous round of offers.

Obviously, after seeing Ling Feng lead the Three Lions to defeat Colombia, they couldn't wait to immediately bring Ling Feng, a hot British star, under their command.

"Is this the best offer?"

"Almost, I don't think they're going to keep going up."

"And what do you think?"

"I think Nike is good. They were the best and were sincere and were the first to call me. Adidas and Umbro both have longer contracts, and they want to sign you directly for six or seven years."

"As for Nike, we should be able to sign with them for only three years after negotiations."

"Why?"

"Because five years is too long, two years is too short, three years is just right. After three years, you will definitely be worth more than 1.2 million, and we can sign a bigger contract."

Hearing this, Ling Feng heard Mendes' strong confidence in himself.

Obviously, in Mendes's view, according to Ling Feng's growth rate, after three years, he will definitely become a famous star.

At that time, the annual sponsorship fee will definitely have to rise.

In the end, after discussion between the two, Ling Feng decided to accept Nike's offer and join Nike's star family.

The sponsor of England is also Nike.

It also saved him a lot of trouble.

If he signs Adidas or Puma, then when he trains with the national team, he wears Nike's training clothes, which is somewhat awkward, and even has a sense of openness.

"In addition to Real Madrid, there are quite a few other European clubs who have asked me about your interest in transfer. I'll get back to them one by one."

'However, after the World Cup, we have to find a time to sign a new contract with the club.

As soon as these words came out, Ling Feng couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't I just sign a new contract with the club?" Renewing the contract? ”

"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. A weekly salary of 15,000 is not bad for a Championship player who has not played in the Premier League. ”

"That was before the World Cup, though."

"After the World Cup, this salary is not worth what you are worth."

"Even if we don't offer a raise, the club will take the initiative to talk to you about a contract extension. Because your release fee is only £30 million and the club wants more! ”

Hearing Mendes' explanation, Ling Feng understood.

After thinking about it for a moment, he voiced his concerns:

"However, my salary is the highest salary in the team, and I just renewed my contract half a year ago, and now I propose a salary increase, will the club think I am too greedy?"

"Don't worry, even if you triple your salary, it's just reached the average weekly salary of a Premier League player, which is not a high salary at all!"

According to a statistic from the Daily Mail, the average weekly salary of Premier League players this year is £43,717, ranking first in the world!

Mendes even revealed to Ling Feng that Sterling, who performed well in Liverpool in the past season, has a weekly salary of 40,000.

And Ling Feng, who is even better than him and has become the big man of the Three Lions in this World Cup, has a salary less than him.

Is this reasonable?

This is very unreasonable!

"Besides, the salary that the club gives you, the club will take back from other places, such as shirt sales, image rights, ticket revenue, etc."

"And when you get promoted to the Premier League, the salaries of the players generally go up significantly."

"If you want to keep good players in the team, you have to pay a corresponding salary. That's fair, isn't it? ”

"You know, you turned down offers from many big clubs and chose to stay in Leicester City."

"And loyalty is valuable!"
