Chapter 171 Brand New Contract! The Sincerity Of Barcelona! The Working Emperor Of Football? The Top
early morning.
Cold winds are blowing along the Mediterranean coast.
The administrative building of the Barcelona club.
In the conference hall, Ye Lingfeng sat at the conference table in casual attire.
Lawyer Zhang beside him stared at the contract in his hand intently.
Opposite the two, it seems that there are a group of high-level officials of the Barcelona club.
Sports director Alemani is on the list!
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little solemn.
All the officials in the audience watched nervously and expectantly the change in the expression of the 17-year-old boy not far away.
This happened the day after the FIFA Awards Ceremony.
Alemani, as the sports director of Barcelona, is a key node in the new contract negotiation with Ye Lingfeng!
In the words of the sports director.
This is a contract negotiation that is as important as the historical long-term contract signed by Barcelona and Messi eight years ago!
"Five-year long contract, the club's maximum salary with an annual increase, accompanied by a signing fee and a loyalty bonus...The liquidated damages have been raised to 600 million."
Lawyer Zhang put down the contract in his hand and nodded slightly to Ye Lingfeng.
Meaning 'can see enough sincerity'.
Seeing this, Alemanni on the opposite side of the conference table couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The officials beside him also subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Although the preparation of this is probably the most exaggerated "super contract" in Barcelona's history.
But Alemani is still not sure enough to hold Ye Lingfeng's "heart".
After all, sitting across from all the officials at this time is a terrifying evildoer who was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards at the young age of 17!
Ye Lingfeng didn't have any waves on his expression, he picked up the contract and looked through it again.
There are no twists and turns, and no yin and yang contracts.
The sincerity of this new contract 837 is indeed obvious.
Five years approx.
Annual salary of 15 million euros, accompanied by an annual increase of 10% [Theoretically, it will reach around 22 million in five years.
According to the timeline, the current year is 2014.
This is already the ranks of the real top salary that world football can hand over!
The signing fee is 15 million euros, to be paid in two instalments.
In addition to the goal bonuses and appearance bonuses that are included in some regular contracts, there are also loyalty bonuses.
11 million euros in the first year, 13 million in the second year, 15 million in the third to five years.
Loyalty bonuses are tied to the players themselves.
Even if the club sells the player in advance before the contract expires, it still needs to pay all the loyalty bonus in one lump sum.
The liquidated damages were raised to 600 million at one time, the same level as the superstar Messi in the Barcelona team.
In general.
The total value of this five-year contract is as high as nearly 200 million euros!
In this era, it can definitely be regarded as a 'super contract' in today's football.
Once the contract takes effect.
It will instantly surpass the biggest contract in football today when the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined Paris Saint-Germain in the 12-13 season.
Ye Lingfeng will also become the new "working emperor" in the world football in 2014!
"As far as I know... one or two transfer windows in the future, it seems that Barcelona will not be able to stretch their fists in the transfer market?"
Ye Lingfeng flipped through the contract in his hand, and casually asked Alemani across the table.
The latter suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief.
A group of Barcelona officials exchanged glances with each other in surprise.
"Relax...I see your sincerity, now I just want to chat with you casually.
Ye Lingfeng put down the contract in his hand, smiled and shrugged towards the high-level people opposite.
Alemani sighed: "With all due respect...you really don't look like a 17-year-old kid! Eight years ago when we signed the contract with Messi who was only 18 years old, when he saw the content of the contract. ...that kind of happiness and satisfaction is beyond words!"
The Barcelona director can't help but think back to that summer eight years ago
The first contract signed by the Barcelona club and the Argentine genius is a nine-year long contract!
Although at the club level, long-term contracts often represent the club's trust in the players.
But from the perspective of a young player with great potential, the long-term contract is also a limit to his own potential to a certain extent
But his personality has always been restrained, and at the same time he expressed his willingness to be loyal to Barcelona early on.
Without hesitation, at least the first nine years of his career were bound to the Red and Blue Army!
Many years later, Messi's first professional contract with Barcelona is still at the forefront of the long-term contracts in football history.
"You're right... recently the club has been subject to FIFA arbitration and has been banned for a transfer window!"
Alemani spread his hands helplessly, "Theoretically, if the transfer ban cannot be revoked...we will not be able to make any gains in the transfer market in this year's winter window and the second half of the summer window!"
"Not being able to buy someone during the transfer period is undoubtedly very painful for Barcelona...so in order to let you see our sincerity enough, and finally willing to stay at the Nou Camp...we will make the biggest compromise !"
Alemani looked sincere.
After the words fell, Ye Lingfeng didn't have any surprised expression on his face.
Knowing the timeline, he naturally knows what the transfer ban from FIFA is all about.
Half a year ago, when he was still in the La Masia youth training camp.
Also playing for La Masia, there are these young players from Japan and South Korea who are under the age of 18!
For example, Jiu Jianying, known as the "Oriental Messi".
Participating in the transfer of foreign players under the age of 18 is obviously outside the rules and regulations of FIFA.
According to the timeline, Barcelona was severely punished by FIFA.
At the same time as the fine, a transfer ban for two transfer windows was also imposed!
Behind the conference table, Alemani exchanged glances with the officials beside him.
(acbh) pulled another document out of the briefcase.
"This is the greatest sincerity we can offer... and it is also the last fight that I will do my best on the management side!"
The documents were gently pushed in front of Ye Lingfeng and Lawyer Zhang.
Lawyer Zhang flipped through the documents lightly, and couldn't help showing a little surprise between his brows.
"It's an additional clause... 2% of the club's shares, plus the club franchise that will automatically take effect when the contract expires and is renewed!"
Even lawyer Zhang, who has experienced many battles in his career, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this additional clause.
The practice of using club shares as the corresponding bargaining chip in negotiations is rare in today's world football.
After all, holding the corresponding shares of the club, even if the proportion is extremely small.
It also means that he has become one of the shareholders of the club!
Simultaneously serving as a player and a shareholder, there is a high probability that status imbalance will occur when playing different identities.
For example, the locker room has too much power to speak, and the head coach has excessive dominance...
But obviously, after careful consideration and risk comparison.
Barcelona still gave such an additional chip with great sincerity to their super talent that turned out this season!
Ye Lingfeng nodded in satisfaction, and checked the contract again from beginning to end.
Immediately, under the fiery eyes of all Barcelona officials, he was about to pick up a pen and sign the contract!
With the help of the system, Ben has sufficient funds and capabilities to acquire the entire Barcelona club in the future in advance.
The identity of a minority shareholder may not be rare and precious to him.
But from it, we can read the sincerity of Barcelona's eagerness to keep themselves in the Nou Camp!
Sincerity, in many cases, is more convincing than any pale terms and hype promises.
"God, this is a historic day!"
Seeing Ye Lingfeng pick up a pen to sign, Alemani rubbed his face fiercely, "It's also the second most memorable day in my director career!"
Ye Lingfeng smiled: "The first important day, was signing with Leo eight years ago?"
Alemani nodded again and again: "You two are Barcelona's unique treasure! We will keep you at the Nou Camp no matter what!"
Ye Lingfeng put down the pen and paper, and half-joked that you are now the sporting director of Barcelona...Can you imagine that Cai might leave Barcelona one day?"
After the words fell, all the officials shook their heads like a wave.
"Of course it's impossible! Who's out of his mind to let players like you and Messi go?"
Alemani spread his hands, "No idiot would do that!"
Ye Lingfeng smiled and handed over a contract in duplicate: "Please remember what you said today...I will do my best to bring more championships to Barcelona.
The conference hall with more than ten people suddenly burst into applause.
A group of Barcelona officials looked passionate and exchanged glances with each other excitedly.
Alemani stood up solemnly and shook hands with the 17-year-old boy in front of him.
"Give full play to your talents on the court! We will provide you with a steady stream of off-court support!"
"At the same time, I also want to say... thank God, the wishes of those goddamn Manchester and Parisians have finally come true!"
Alemani hugged Ye Lingfeng in front of him vigorously, "Do you know how much the Mansur family and Leonardo have moved to bring you to the Etihad and Prince Park?"
Ye Lingfeng smiled: "Does Paris Saint-Germain want me to be their director?"
Everyone laughed and walked to the camera together to take a group photo.
A Barça official shrugged: "If they had the Queen of England and the President of France come forward to convince you to join... maybe we wouldn't be laughing here right now!"
Alemanni nodded seriously: "That's right! But in comparison, don't you know the connection between our Spanish royal family and Ye?"
"If Ye really wants to leave Spanish football and switch to England or France...then our little princess in the main room will be very sad!"
Alemani winked at Ye Lingfeng, "You are not a heartless boy!"
There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the conference hall.
