Chapter 65 Professional Contract

"Actually, this stadium has been renamed the Johan Cruyff Arena, but I still like to call it the Amsterdam Arena. Ali, do you know why?"

Ali Durson looked at Van der Sar.

"I really don't know about this, Mr. Van der Sar, why not——"

"Hey, Ali, I already called you Ali, but I didn't call you Mr. Durson, why did you still call me Mr. Van der Sar?"

"Then I'll just order it, Edwin."

"That's right. In today's friendly match, the two players you signed both started. You should be very happy."

"Yeah, I'm really happy that Lin and Frankie can start. Originally, I thought it would take some time for Lin to take over as the new coach."

"No, Lin is someone Mark and I both think highly of, and Eric has the same idea as us."

"Edwin, you said so directly that Lin is the person you like, aren't you afraid that I will ask for more money?"

"Ali, it's not like I haven't negotiated with you. I know you are not a greedy person. You are different from agents like Raiola. You care more about sustainable development and the future development of your players. I

I believe we can reach a consensus on this matter."

"That's the best."

Just when the two were chatting happily.

Suddenly, huge cheers came from the stands.

Ali laughed and looked at Van der Sar.

"The connection between De Jong and Lin."

On the court, De Jong made a long pass over the head. Lin stopped the ball with his side and chest, then removed the ball, then volleyed and the ball went in.

1 to 0.

This goal only took two passes and the ball was scored.

And for this goal, Lin Kedi's direct shot without stopping the ball also showed his skill.

Ali was happy in his heart. Now as long as Lin Kedi scores more goals, his contract negotiation will be smoother.

Ali originally felt that Ajax had changed a lot this summer, and it was not certain whether the new coach would like Lin Kedi, but unexpectedly, it seems that Ten Hag has gradually begun to let Lin play the main role.

The 16-year-old Ajax main player, this name is already valuable enough.

In the following time, the two sides fought back and forth.

Lyon's main forward in this game is Traore, who joined Ajax on loan last season. He played very hard in this game.

But he didn't score a goal until he was replaced.

After the second half of the game started, Lin Kedi became more active in the frontcourt.

De Jong made another long pass directly to Lin Ke, trying to replicate Linde's connection in the first half.

As for this pass, Lin Kedi didn't take it very well at first, and the ball bounced out.

Just when everyone thought the ball was gone, Lin Kedi accelerated and rushed over, got the ball, and then fired a powerful shot from the left side of the penalty area.

The ball roared past the goal guarded by Lopez.

2-0, Lin Keen scored twice.

Although it was a friendly match, Lin Kedi's fiery state really made Ten Hahe happy on the sidelines.

In these five preseason games, Ten Hag was very dissatisfied with Huntelaar's state.

Although Huntelaar scored goals and assisted in the preseason, his physical condition is indeed not suitable for Ten Hag's tactics.

Ten Hag himself feels that his tactics are not strictly high-position pressing, but an enhanced version of offensive tactics.

After the game, Van der Sar invited Alli to his office.

Ali knew that the highlight was coming.

As soon as I sat down.

Van der Sar spoke first.

We are very sincere.

We are willing to offer a contract with an annual salary of 900,000 euros after tax, and there will be bonus clauses.

Ali was stunned. This contract was indeed very sincere. No, it should be called too sincere.

You must know that Ali's previous expected value was 520,000 euros. Such an average is enough. After all, Lin Ke only played two first-team games after all.

Yes, Lin Kedi performed very well in these two games.

But no one can guarantee that this is not a flash in the pan.

Lin Kedi's performance in the preseason was very good, which also gave Ali a little confidence. He originally wanted to ask for an annual salary of 700,000 euros first, and then negotiate slowly and slowly.

But I didn't expect that Van der Sar would not play the fictitious game and directly show his hand for 900,000.

After Ali was stunned, he immediately asked.

"What about the age limit?"

"5-year contract plus 2 years priority for renewal."

"Seven years?"

Alibaba was a little hesitant at this time. The two-year priority renewal contract was an unconditional renewal to put it bluntly.

Lin Kedi is 16 years old this year. Even 7 years later, he will only be 23 years old, which is very young.

In this way, there is actually nothing Ali cannot accept.

However, if such a contract is negotiated directly, if Lin Kedi performs well in the future and wants a salary increase or a transfer, then a considerable part of the initiative will be in the hands of the club.

After all, the contract term is long.

Ali hesitated.

"If we sign a five-year contract with a liquidated damages clause, we can appropriately reduce the annual salary."

Ali had communicated this with Lin Kedi before, but he did not expect that Van der Sar would offer such a price.

"Liquidated damages are impossible. Most of our Ajax players do not have liquidated damages. Well, Ali, I believe you would not have thought of such a proposal from me at the beginning, so do you want to go back and discuss it with Lin

?”

Ali has been a football agent for so long, and it took him a long time to feel like he was being manipulated. He couldn't describe this feeling.

So he bid farewell to Van der Sar.

The next morning, I made an appointment with Lin Kedi to meet at a coffee shop.

As soon as they met, the two of them did not exchange greetings and directly entered the topic of conversation.

"The Ajax club gave you an annual salary of 900,000 euros after tax, which is almost 400,000 euros higher than what we originally thought. But they asked for a contract period of 7 years."

"Seven years? Isn't it only possible to sign for a maximum of 5 years?"

"Well, no, that's just that most teams sign contracts for five years, but this time the conditions given by Ajax Club are that in the fifth year, the team has the first right to renew the contract without any additional conditions.

So it will be 7 years. Lin, what are you going to choose?"

"Seven years, I can actually accept it, but in this case, even if I perform well later, if I want a salary increase or a transfer, the initiative will be in the hands of the club. After all, this is a long-term contract.

"

"This question depends on how you see yourself. If you think you can grow quickly, then don't sign this kind of long-term contract. If you think you can take your time and develop slowly, then sign it. You are

What do you think?"

"I believe I can grow quickly. The main question is, if we follow the original idea of ​​five years plus liquidated damages, will there be a problem with my playing time?"

Lin Kedi now has a shadow over his experience in the second team, where no matter how hard he trained, he could not play.

"I really can't guarantee this. After all, it seems that Ajax club still gives Ten Hag a lot of power."

"That", Lin Kedi was silent for a while.

"A five-year contract is the most, so you just have to press this line and negotiate."

"Okay, my thoughts are the same as yours. I believe you are a genius and I believe you can achieve success soon. The Eredivisie should not be your end, but your starting point."
