Chapter 401: The First Professional Contract Chapter 1
Benita and Miss Betty negotiated via video call.
Leon thought that the negotiation between Benita and Miss Betty would go smoothly, but things were still different from what he thought.
Benita and Miss Betty still have considerable differences in some details.
First of all, in terms of the length of the contract, Benita hopes that Carlos can sign with Sporting Gijon for five years. Five years is the maximum number of years allowed by FIFA for contracting with players.
Signing long-term contracts with young players, especially those with great talent and potential, is obviously beneficial to the club. Naturally, the interests of the players may be harmed.
Miss Betty firmly disagreed, and her suggestion was to sign a three-year contract.
In the end, both parties had to take a step back and agreed to sign a four-year contract!
Then regarding salary, Miss Betty opened her mouth and asked for an annual salary of one million euros.
Benita was so angry that she almost flipped the table. You know, in the Sporting Gijon team, the highest salary is one million euros for former Real Madrid captain Hierro. With Hierro's qualifications and influence in the locker room, both
Carlos has just received an annual salary of one million euros, and Carlos has just turned seventeen, so he wants to enjoy the same treatment. How is it possible?!
Benita is willing to give an annual salary of 400,000 euros.
It should be said that for a seventeen-year-old kid, he received an annual salary of 400,000 euros in his first professional contract, which is something to be proud of.
However, Miss Betty is obviously not satisfied with this salary.
The salary issue is obviously the most critical issue. In the end, both parties reached an agreement that Carlos's annual salary is 500,000 euros. However, Carlos's annual salary will increase by no less than 20% every year.
This kind of contract that increases every year is a commonly used contract in football. It is generally prepared for young but talented young people.
***********
An annual salary of 500,000 euros is not considered low. Among young players, an annual salary of 500,000 euros is definitely among the best.
In the opinion of agent Miss Betty, an annual increase rate of no less than 20% will also greatly improve Juan Carlos's treatment in the team and consolidate his importance among the young people of the team.
Status. With the growth of age and improvement of strength, Carlos and this group of young people will gradually become the most important players of Sporting Gijon. Now one head ahead, Carlos' status and role will be more prominent and important in the future.
After the salary package and contract length are determined, other matters such as appearance fees, winning bonuses, championship bonuses and player accident insurance will not be a problem.
Finally, ten minutes before the three o'clock press conference, Sporting Gijon and Carlos finally reached an agreement on a professional contract.
Of course, the entire negotiation process was still very difficult. Benita and Miss Betty are both extremely serious and proud women. It can be said that this contract was finalized even with the punctuation marks carefully studied!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference hall of Sporting Gijon's Malayo training base.
Sporting Gijon head coach Li Ang and the team's young player Juan Carlos attended the press conference at the signing site.
About thirty reporters have come to witness the signing ceremony of Carlos' first professional contract.
In the flash of flashing lights, Carlos proudly signed his name on a four-year contract.
Later, Li Ang expressed the great significance of this signing to everyone, "Carlos is a player of Gijon, he was yesterday, he is now, and he will still be in the future!"
This sentence is a direct warning to all the wealthy teams that covet Carlos not to take advantage of Carlos.
At this time, a reporter stood up and retorted, saying that Carlos would have achieved greater success in a wealthy team, but it was obviously impossible to do so in Sporting Gijon.
Li Ang stared at the reporter, "He will get more in Gijon, because I am here!"
***********
At the press conference, Carlos expressed his loyalty to all Sporting Gijon fans very seriously: "I am very happy at Sporting Gijon, I like it here, this is the first place I have played for.
Home Football Club.”
I believe Getafe fans will be very sad and unhappy after hearing what Carlos said at this time. You must know that Carlos played one game for the Getafe youth team, but lost to Real Madrid coached by Li Ang.
He was in the under-17 youth A team. Then he was terminated by Getafe as a scapegoat for losing.
At this time, Leon came out to expose the scars of the Getafe people.
Li Ang patted Carlos on the shoulder: "Have you forgotten Getafe? Although you only played one game."
The actions of the two people made the reporters present laugh. Obviously, Carlos's story is now well-known in Spain, and the termination of Carlos' contract has become evidence of Getafe's blindness. Of course, some media have said,
Even if Carlos stays in Getafe, it is probably a secret move because there is no Bole. Maybe in Getafe, Carlos will continue to hang out in the central defender position where he is not good at playing. Such a final result
It's just that Carlos can only play worse and worse, and eventually end up in low-level leagues, or even say goodbye to football completely. Therefore, in Carlos's growth story, Leon plays a very important role!
When AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia were about to make moves on Carlos, Sporting Gijon quickly completed the signing of a professional contract with Carlos, and also solemnly warned all the wealthy teams that coveted Carlos.
, Li Ang also used this most direct way to warn those teams that also coveted other Sporting Gijon players.
His team is not a player supermarket!
After the press conference, Sporting Gijon officially announced:
Juan Carlos, a young player from Sporting Gijon, received a special gift on his seventeenth birthday, a professional contract! Carlos signed a four-year contract at 3 o'clock this afternoon
He proudly signed his name on the new contract in 2016. Carlos’ past is here, is here now, and will still be here in the future.
This day is Carlos's seventeenth birthday, and he received the first professional contract of his career.
***********
Mitra, a reporter for Sporting Gijon's mouthpiece "Voice of Gijon", wrote in his comments about this signing: "Because of the pursuit of Carlos by those well-known wealthy teams, it caused a stir among Sporting Gijon fans.
The panic is finally over now! All Sporting Gijon fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have a good night's sleep - they don't have to worry about waking up to read the newspaper only to discover their favorite young man
Went to Madrid, to Barcelona, to Valencia, and even to distant Italy. Carlos said he loved it here, he was very happy here, and he expressed his love for this team. Of course, I most
What matters most is that I believe that as long as Coach Li Ang is in Gijon, Carlos will definitely be here! Will Coach Li Ang leave? Obviously not! He loves this place and he is a Gijonian!"
This article by Mitra has received a lot of praise for him. Gijon fans are very happy. Finally, they don’t have to worry about Carlos leaving the team. As for the relationship between Leon and Sporting Gijon that Mitra mentioned at the end of the article.
Gijon fans don't care about the issue of love limit. Maybe in their view, just as Mitra said, Li Ang is already a Gijonian and it is impossible for Li Ang to leave here.
However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe even Li Ang himself can’t tell clearly.
