Chapter 28 Discussion
Degan weighed it repeatedly, and found that a team like Tottenham Hotspur is his best choice now. Although those giants are rich and have a place in the Champions League, they basically have a fairly complete lineup. , and the introduction of him who has almost experienced a two-year blank period may not have such courage.
But if he really moves to Tottenham Hotspur, he will definitely have to cut his salary. This Degan is not unacceptable. He just wants to leave the abyss of Barcelona as soon as possible. After all, he is 27 years old. Although Degan is concerned about his body He is very confident, but in the end he can maintain his peak state for a few years, to be honest, he may not be sure.
After all, in the international football world, there are not many forwards like Romario and Inzaghi who are close to the age of 40 and can still maintain an excellent competitive state. Most of them are Ronaldo and Kluivert. , then the state declined rapidly.
What Degan thinks now is not how to leave Camp Nou with his head held high, but whether he can complete his revenge against Barcelona in his career.
"Elan! When will this matter be finalized!"
Hearing Degan's tone, Zahavi knew that he couldn't wait to escape from the pit of Camp Nou: "You have decided!? Rhodes! You must know that if you transfer, your economic interests will definitely There will be losses!"
Of course Degan knows this. He still has a three-year contract with Barcelona, and his annual salary after tax is 17 million euros. In 2019, his sponsorship contract was not missing, but once he transferred to Tottenham, the influence of Tottenham was not as good as that of Barcelona after all, and those sponsors might have something to say by then.
Although Degan is at the bottom of his life now, he is still the player with the highest annual income in the world, close to 100 million euros per year, of which nearly one-eighth of the sponsorship contract is standing, and Jin Maoluo, who ranks second, is fully It was more than doubled by him.
If it is transferred, it is conservatively estimated that Degan's annual income will shrink by at least half, and may even reach two-thirds.
As Digan's agent, Zahavi must remind Digan.
Digan thought about these things just now, looked at Pu Zhiyan who was sitting by the side, and said with a smile: "Zhiyan! If I become a pauper, will you still like me?"
Pu Zhiyan didn't speak, but waved her small fist at Digan with a displeased expression, the meaning was obvious: Try farting again! Don't think I won't lose my temper just because I'm cute!
Digan smiled awkwardly: "That~~~~~~~No problem! It's just that your income will be reduced!"
Zahavi smiled and said: "I don't care about those, although it is less, but I bet you will soon become the player with the highest income in the world, and my loss will be recovered by then!"
The two discussed it again, mainly to determine the acceptable salary cut range. Although Digan has been at the lowest point of his career in the past two years, if you analyze it carefully, Digan's performance is not bad at all. In the limited playing time??, he still handed over a world-class report card, but it is only compared with his performance in Florence that people feel that Degan is no longer good.
no more!
No, your sister!
"Rod! I'll hand over your phone number to Chairman Levi later. There are some things that need to be discussed with you in person. However, this time, I hope you can really think it through!"
The last time the transfer was made, the chairman of Barcelona, Rosell, called Degan. As a result, the two of them were on the phone, and they were directly finalized, which made Zahavi quite dissatisfied. Although Tottenham Hotspur this time It was recommended by him, but he still had to remind Digan that he must make up his mind after repeated consideration. After all, what happened in Barcelona must never happen again.
After finishing the call with Zahavi, it didn't take long before a call came from an unfamiliar number. Digan gestured to Park Zhiyan, but the girl was still angry at his nonsense just now, and gave her a gorgeous Digan had no choice but to sit over and hold Pu Zhiyan in his arms. After struggling for a while, the little girl obeyed.
After connecting the phone, a voice with a Cockney accent came from the other side: "Hello! Rhodes! I'm Daniel Levi, the Cockney that Ferguson said smelled like salted fish all over his body! "
When Degan heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Degan had heard of this incident. It happened at the beginning of this year. Tottenham Hotspur seem to be very optimistic about the potential of this young player, so they asked Manchester United to buy Pogba. Of course, Lafayette refused, but they couldn't promise to fix Pogba. Due to the FA regulations, players under the age of 18 cannot contact privately without the consent of the original club. Levi has no way to directly control it, but it is not Levi's character to give up.
As a result, under the operation of Levy, Pogba, who was not yet eighteen years old at the time and had not yet signed a professional contract with Manchester United, suddenly announced his termination, and then freely joined Lens in Ligue 1, and half a year later, that is, this year At the beginning of the year, he transferred to join Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham got this young man with unlimited potential without spending a penny, and left Lafayette with nothing to say.
Sir Alex Ferguson later said in an interview with reporters: "This looks to be Daniel Levy's handwriting. I didn't wrong him. Look at this damn method of operation. His smelly smell is everywhere. The smell of fish!"
Although it was the first contact, Degan found that he appreciated Levi's way of speaking, at least not artificial, and this self-mockery was just right, so it wouldn't make people feel disgusted.
"I think Mr. Zahavi has already told you. I don't know what you think about joining Tottenham Hotspur. Although Tottenham's reputation is not as good as Barcelona, this team is very young. We have Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Rafael van der Vaart, they are all very good players, I believe if you can join, this team will become More competitive and, at Tottenham, you don't have the same shit as Barcelona!"
Degan also knows a lot about the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur. The reason why Degan was tempted when Zahavi recommended it is because the current lineup of Tottenham Hotspur is really very young and very energetic.
Although Modric moved to Real Madrid this season in his previous life, if Degan really joins Tottenham, he is confident that he can persuade Modric to stay.
"Mr. Levi! I want to know what I can get if I join in? In terms of economic benefits, I have entrusted my agent with full authority. What I want to know is about sports!"
Levi didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Our captain, Laidley King, has chosen to retire, and will enter the team's coaching staff next, so Rhodes, you will become the team's new captain, next And the team will rebuild the team around you."
Degan is very satisfied with Levi's promise, but he still has another concern in his heart, that is Tottenham's current head coach Boas.
Degan and Boas have never been in contact, but they both had the same agent Mendes at the beginning. Now Degan and Mendes have completely torn each other. If he joins Tottenham, will Boas Will you give him small shoes?
"Chairman Levi!"
"Call me Daniel! Regardless of whether you end up joining Tottenham or not, I hope we can be friends!"
Digan smiled and said: "Okay! Daniel! I want to know, have you discussed this matter with Coach Boas? I don't want what happened in Barcelona to happen again!"
Regarding this matter, Levi obviously thought about it a long time ago: "I am not satisfied with Boas's coaching performance, so I have decided that Tottenham need a new leader. I originally planned to invite Prandelli. The coach, but he is now the head coach of the Italian team, what do you think of coach Antiiennis?"
I have to admit that Degan is even more excited now. After Antiiennis left the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, he has not come back to work. Gan is very attractive.
Among the many head coaches that Degan met, only Corioni, who was first met in Atlanta, Prandelli of Florence and Antiiens of the Belgian national team have unconditional trust in him, the relationship between each other Also very good.
While Degan was delighted, he couldn't help being a little surprised at Levi's sincerity. In order to invite him to join, Levi even changed the team's head coach.
Boas may not know it yet. After being fired by Chelsea in the middle of this season, he has only coached Tottenham for half a season, and he is about to be laid off again. He was laid off at Chelsea because of his poor record. Tottenham, after he took over the Tottenham coach in the middle of this season, he took Bai Baihe from eighth in the league to fourth in the league, but even so, he still failed to keep his coaching position, just because Levi wanted to introduce Di Gan, and he seemed to be in the way.
Degan doesn't know much about Boas, and he doesn't feel guilty. This is a very important decision in his career. This time, he must not make any mistakes, and all unfavorable factors must be ruled out.
In fact, Levi's dismissal of Boas was not entirely because of Digan, but because of Mendes. After Boas entered White Hart Lane, under the instigation of Mendes, he kept recommending The players under Mendes, from Mugnotti to Hulk, Mendes simply intends to turn White Hart Lane into his own back garden.
No club chairman is willing to let an agent become the overlord of the team. Mendes's dictating to Tottenham Hotspur made Levi very dissatisfied. In the end, regardless of whether the player is suitable for Tottenham, as long as the goal Des recommended it, but Levi unconditionally vetoed it. Now, the relationship between Levi and Boas has become very tense.
The other party has shown such great sincerity, and there is no need for Degan to pretend to be reserved anymore: "Daniel! I agree! You can go and negotiate the contract with Elan now!"
The negotiation between Levi and Zahavi did not last long. Two days later, Zahavi sent the final result. The contract was signed for five years, with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds and an annual salary of 10 million pounds. Although there is a big gap between the annual salary record of all players in the history of Sting and Degan's current annual salary of 17 million euros, this contract can also satisfy Degan.
Of course, all of this was done in private. After the contract was finalized, Tottenham Hotspur made an offer to Barcelona. The first offer reached 30 million pounds. I'm afraid I can't even buy a leg of Degan, but now, there is no doubt that Roselle's heart is really moved.
Although Russell is very optimistic about Degan, but because of the suppression of the Macia gang headed by Messi, and the two consecutive head coaches Guardiola and Vilanova, the relationship between Degan and Degan is very tense. There is no way to play its due role at the Nou Camp.
He can only get very few playing opportunities every season, but holds the world's highest salary of 17 million euros, which has caused some discordant voices within the team.
Especially Messi, during the previous contract renewal negotiations, has publicly stated: "Since a person who does not contribute as much to the team as me can get such a high salary, should I get more?"
What's the point of keeping a player with a super high salary, but he can't achieve a breakthrough for the team and is still destroying the unity of the team?
Letting Degan leave can not only recover part of the funds, but also save the salary for the next three years. This deal seems to be really done.
However, 30 million pounds is not too low! ?
You know, although Digan looked a bit down in the past two seasons, he is still the world champion. Even if he is not as strong as before, he still has at least 70%!
Therefore, Russell instructed his staff to reply: "Degan is a very key member of Barcelona. He plays a very important role in the team. We do not intend to sell!"
This is just a very simple transfer operation. The hidden inner meaning of this reply is basically that the price is a bit low. If the transfer price can be increased, the so-called not-for-sale items are not not for sale.
It's just that what happened next was somewhat beyond Roselle's control.
