"Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with Leicester City! Will sign veteran Chen Yufeng for 150 million euros! This will break the all-time transfer records of both clubs! —The Guardian

At noon on June 8, Chen Yufeng saw the news after exercising.

"The Guardian sent it, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the authenticity." He had his own judgment in his heart, and then he smiled on his forehead.

Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the news of these media people is even better than his.

But if you think about it another way, both clubs must have taken such a large number of transactions more seriously.

While maintaining sincerity, they also have to consider the worst-case scenario, such as the opposite side suddenly selling the player to another club, or signing the Lions with a big mouth.

At this time, both sides will definitely buy the next wave of media people in advance, render the progress of the matter in their favor, and take it out to confront when there is a mistake in the future.

As soon as the news came out of the Guardian, it almost blocked the possibility of Leicester City selling players, and also blocked the possibility of Simeone cutting prices again, or reversing it.

Next, Atletico only need to contact the player, negotiate the basic contract with the player, and then the transfer can be made.

If you can't pass this hurdle, you can't do it.

[Stamina +6!] Demon Repository currently has 76 Stamina Points! 】

Chen Yufeng completed an extra point on this day, pulling his physical fitness back to the level of 38 points.

This time it's not as uncomfortable as the last time, and it's generally quite adaptable.

With all that done, he hobbled towards his home in Leicester.

Chen Binghua had been waiting for him for a long time, and after seeing his weak face, he asked a few words with concern.

"I received news from Atletico that they want to start contract negotiations with us in the afternoon, do you need to delay it?" Father Chen asked.

"No need, it's afternoon, settle down early, and feel at ease." Chen Yufeng nodded.

"Well, that's afternoon."

Chen Binghua made a cup of tea, and then said: "For the specific details of the contract, we have to talk to each other first." ”

"My estimate of Atletico Madrid is a weekly salary of about 400,000 euros after tax, which is an annual salary of about 20 million after tax."

"In addition, they may be able to pay you a floating clause of 10 million euros, and they may also be able to talk about after-tax, with Atletico taking care of the tax rate."

"As for the image rights, we definitely can't give them them, no matter what."

"There is another point is the signing fee, I don't know about this, now in this football world, the signing fee is high and low, and no one has an accurate judgment."

After listening to what Chen Binghua said, Chen Yufeng pondered for a while.

He's definitely going to have to ask for a high salary, a high signing fee, which represents his value, his tactical position at the new club.

As for how much......

"Let's talk about it when we talk, we don't have anything to fear." Chen Yufeng decided.

Father Chen nodded slightly, the two of them are not bitter and mean people, but they are not stupid either.

Everyone knows that Atletico Madrid is all in them, so they naturally want to fight for the highest value for themselves.

"There are two endorsements the day after tomorrow, Mercedes-Benz and an electrical company, the former is 21 million in three years, and the latter is 20 million in four years, and the price is more reasonable." Father Chen said again.

"The previous appliance company?" Chen Yufeng asked.

"Yes."

"Then just sign up." Increasing income is a good thing, and Chen Yufeng certainly has no opinion.

There are more than 40 endorsements on the stars, and he only has a few.

However, for him, who takes the quality route, the last two months are indeed a good time to increase his income.

The aftermath of the quadruple winner has not yet passed, and the transfer news has put him in the spotlight of the world.

Puma's series of endorsement sharing contracts illustrate this point, and it is conservatively estimated that this alone can bring Chen Yufeng an eight-figure income every year.

…………

The meeting was scheduled at the Leicester City training base, where Simeone appeared with Antoine Griezmann and Torres to wait in advance.

About ten minutes later, Chen Yufeng and Chen's father appeared here.

"We met again, and I heard that the process was going very well." Chen Yufeng stepped forward to say hello, Simone had met him alone before, and had not yet met his father.

"This is Father Chen, I've heard a lot about you, according to them, you have a very vicious vision for agent affairs, and there are many European players and South American players who have been transferred to you." Simeone greeted Chen's father very politely.

This is the key to determining the value of the contract to be held, can you not respect it?

"Griezmann, Torres."

Simeone then introduced the player standing behind him to Chen Yufeng.

"Of course I do." Chen Yufeng said with a smile, whether it is in the European Cup or the Champions League, he has played against Griezmann.

Torres has seen less, but that doesn't affect anything, as a former international superstar, Torres is known to everyone in football.

After a brief introduction, the two parties sat down together and began to discuss the details of the contract.

To be honest, Chen Yufeng has experienced too many such negotiations during this time, and he is a little tired of it, and he also misses his other teammates a little.

I wonder how their transfer went?

Will there be a farewell ceremony, collective or individually?

Will there be people who dare not see them again and leave secretly......

Chen Yufeng's thoughts flew away, and he didn't return until Simone spoke.

'We've definitely put the players at a central level, and you can see that when I brought Antoine Griezmann and Torres with me today. Simeone pointed behind him.

Torres nodded with Griezmann and smiled.

"We have no problem with this, Mr. Chen Yufeng's success last year is obvious to all, and I am very happy and looking forward to working with you, for which I can give everything." Griezmann said sincerely.

"I'm the same, after the decline in form and age in recent years, I have gradually transformed from a breaking point to a fulcrum striker, and as a containment, I feel that I can pull up some space for Mr. Chen Yufeng." Torres expressed his thoughts.

Both of them showed sincerity, which really gave Chen Yufeng some peace of mind.

However, he also understands that in competitive sports, strength is respected, and the specific respect depends on his performance in the past.

"It's a great honor." Chen Yufeng nodded.

The next time entered the small talk period, Griezmann and Torres told Chen Yufeng a lot of interesting things in the team, as well as some points to look forward to his coming.

In general, it is to imagine the future and the champion.

After saying this, the two men left under the pretext of an excuse.

The next topic is definitely between the club and the single player, they can't be there, otherwise wouldn't it be child's play?

"Let's talk about salary?" Chen's father raised the topic.

"Okay, I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time." Simeone gestured.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into immersion again, as if both sides were expecting the other to speak first, because then they could take the initiative.

"Hmmm......"

In the end, it was Simeone who spoke first, as the weak party in the negotiations, this is what he should do, "Our salary offer for the player is 400,000 euros a week after tax. ”

The tax rate for Spanish foreign players is relatively low, and the price they pay for this after-tax weekly salary is definitely much less than that of the Premier League.

Chen Yufeng and Chen Binghua glanced at each other, which was similar to what the two expected.

Simeone has promised the team's maximum salary, while Griezmann's salary is around 360,000 euros after tax.

The offer of 400,000 euros is, naturally, the most basic.

"That wasn't quite what we expected." Chen Binghua smiled.

"Then what do you think......" Simeone had predicted.

Chen Binghua expressed his thoughts, "The weekly salary after tax of 600,000 euros will reach 30 million euros in terms of annual salary. ”

"Atletico Madrid can't help the players much in terms of endorsements and commercial sponsorships, so we are asking for a reasonable weekly salary to offset the difference."

"It's very reasonable, and I hope Mr. Simeone understands."

"Yes, I understand. Cristiano Ronaldo's weekly salary at Real Madrid is not very high, but the potential income that the team brings to him is a lot, and our team really can't reach this level. Simeone smiled helplessly.

"Why don't we include the signing fee and the length of the contract in the salary negotiation?" He suggested again.

"No problem, then let's mention it first this time, we hope to have a signing fee of no less than 35 million euros." Chen Binghua straightened his waist.

Chen Yufeng's success last year gave him a lot of confidence and confidence.

Two years later, he has long since adapted to this and entered his real role.

"If Atletico are willing to pay a signing fee of 35 million euros, the contract must be signed for at least five years, and the salary bill must be reduced to less than 500,000 euros." Simeone pulled again, no way, the club didn't have that much money to build.

Chen Binghua nodded and expressed his concessions, "Then it seems that we have no objection to the signing fee and the number of years of the contract, and we agree to sign the contract for five years." ”

"But the salary, we do have to stick to around 600,000 euros."

The two sides seem to be at an impasse again, as is often the case in negotiations.

This kind of father-son agent and player is definitely the most difficult to deal with, which means that they must be working together against the club, and nothing else is possible.

Promise a commission to get the player to agree?

Or use some trickery to make the negotiation go a little smoother?

Don't think about it, the former is impossible, and the latter adds a wound to the player's sense of belonging on the basis of the impossible.

"Why don't we think about it from a different perspective?"

Chen Binghua tapped the table with his knuckles, "The club's income is mainly transfer income, ticket peripheral income, as well as commercial endorsements, as well as broadcast fees. ”

"It's hard to say anything else, the chain reaction brought by Chen Yufeng's joining Atletico Madrid will definitely promote the club's commercial endorsements to skyrocket, whether it is the quantity or the unit price, there will be a qualitative improvement."

"His Atletico jersey will be sold out within a week of going online, and it is conservatively estimated that the income from the jersey in the first month can cover half of his transfer fee."

"In the next year, if he is successful at Atletico, his fans will be vying to become Atletico fans and buy Atletico shirts."

"It is entirely possible to directly return the cost through the jersey share, and then earn back the salary through commercial endorsements!"

"Our offer is absolutely reasonable, which shows the player's determination to join Atletico Madrid, and the trust in Atletico Madrid, if it is involved in commercial problems, I think 600,000 yuan a week after tax may not be the limit."

"Chen Yufeng is the player who deserves to be the most concerned!"

"If Mr. Simeone wants Chen Yufeng to come over, to help the team compete for the championship and fight for a better future together, I don't think we need to dwell on these issues."

"On the other hand, if we talk about business, then we may have to find actuaries and analysts to calculate how far Chen Yufeng's salary should be. In addition, we need to set up a bonus system like Puma. ”

"But then it would be out of the essence of football, the essence of cooperation between the two sides, after all, players come to Atletico mainly to play football, for the cause they love."

"Having said all this, the logical order may be a little confusing, but I hope Mr. Simeone understands what it means."

“……”

Simeone was stunned, he didn't have a difficult agent to deal with.

But like this, I understand business, human nature, and football. An extremely sharp word comes out, and you can feel that the other party is very sincere, not much.

His first reaction was that he thought there might be trouble negotiating the player's contract.

The second reaction is the awakening of something deep inside, a desire, an all-in-all desire to compete for a bright future for the future of the club.

"I agree with what you said, but I would like to adjust the weekly salary after tax to 550,000 euros, which is our limit, and we will set up a corresponding bonus system." Simone said this with a serious expression.

"We can accept the price." After Chen Binghua and Chen Yufeng looked at each other, they agreed.

This transfer is basically finalized.

After negotiating the bonus contract, Chen Yufeng waited for the news, and at the same time signed some commercial endorsements and participated in some activities.

Simeone went back to raise money and persuaded the board to allocate funds.

There won't be much of a problem coming up......

Eventually, both parties laid out a very reasonable bonus contract.

Champions League winners, Champions League Golden Boot, Champions League Player of the Year, La Liga Golden Boot, La Liga Player of the Year, each of them is 1.5 million euros.

La Liga winner, 1 million euros, plus 25 + 500,000 euros for goals and 40 + 1 million euros for goals.

In other cup competitions, including pre-season warm-up matches, the prize money for the winner is 500,000 euros.

In addition to that, there are all kinds of terms.

It is conservatively estimated that if he can play a record like Leicester City last season, Chen Yufeng will directly get a floating bonus of 10 million+.

There are many people who have this kind of contract.

But I took it all, and I really didn't have it.
