"Rister, this time you negotiated a big contract for Joaquin."
After negotiating the contract with Nike, List stayed in Spain to watch La Liga. Because he had a falling out with Valencia, List chose to play with the Extremadura club.
Tuni Crespi is very happy now. Because Joaquin has negotiated a big contract this time, seven million euros in three years. For Joaquin, all the money will not go into his pocket. First, there are taxes
, and then Riester's company takes 20%, and then the club gets a part, and the rest belongs to Joaquín himself.
But even so, it is still a considerable amount of income for Joaquin. Because Joaquin's current annual salary is less than one million euros, this sponsorship is several times more than his annual salary.
"Tuni, it's a joke. With Joaquin's strength, it doesn't matter. It won't be a big problem to get more than 10 million yuan in sponsorship in the next year. Your club will also benefit by then."
"Ten million?"
Thuni Crespi waved his hand. It’s not that he didn’t believe that Joaquin couldn’t get sponsorship worth tens of millions of euros, because Joaquin is now rising rapidly. Joaquin is only twenty years old, but with the signing of a big contract with Nike
, the sponsorship amount per season has reached nearly 4 million euros. There are four sponsors in total.
In the future, if there is a large sponsorship like Nike, then breaking through 10 million is really not a big problem. After all, players have beverage industry, clothing, shoes, games, and these industries add up to have more sponsors. For Tuni.
The biggest problem for Lespi is that he can't wait until that time. Because of Joaquin's current rapid rise, the Extremadura club is too small and cannot retain a talented player like him.
"Aurelio, more sponsors will come in during this period."
Also watching the game this time was Joaquin's father, Aurelio Sanchez. Joaquin is now one of the cash cows in Riester's hands. Riester not only owns half of Joaquin's ownership, but also has Joaquin with his performance.
It's getting better and better, and he is becoming more and more popular in Spain. Lister established a special image rights management company in order to better develop the commercial value of these stars.
"Thank you for that, Lister."
Sanchez was very happy. When he gave Riester a three-year contract, Sanchez was hesitant because he had been managing Joaquin's affairs before. But now he thinks it is very good. Because in the past two years, Joaquin has not only
Not only is his performance in the competitive field getting better and better, but his income is also rising steadily. Sanchez is very self-aware. He knows that if he acts as an agent for Joaquin, he does not have the ability of Riester to bring such a success to Joaquin.
Many sponsors.
"Aurelio, I wish you didn't call me a vampire."
After Riester established a new company this time, he began to sign a new agreement with the players. In the past, Riester received 15% from the players' image rights, but this time it became 20%.
This is not because List is greedy. It's that List's investment is different. And although he takes 20%, as the commercial value of the players is developed by List, the players' income will also increase.
"No. You are the most fair in this industry."
Sanchez laughed loudly. This is definitely not a compliment from Sanchez to Lister. Lister is really not the greediest agent in all aspects. Agency companies like Lister that specialize in managing image rights often take hundreds of millions from players.
There are quite a few who have 30% or even 40%. But because many players cannot manage their own image rights, they can only choose to cooperate with them.
"How about it, Aurelio? Give me another three years, and I will make Joaquín the most dazzling star in the Iberian Peninsula."
Riester sympathizes with several wide players in Spain. At the beginning of the 21st century, Spain produced several outstanding wide players, but unfortunately their final achievements were very limited. These include Vicente and Rey.
This is true for people like Si, Joaquín, and Navas.
It's not because they don't have the strength, but because of various reasons. Either it's because Reyes can't adapt to English football, or it's because of injuries like Vicente, or Navas is homesick, or...
Players like Joaquín who wasted many years at Betis.
For example, Joaquin was the most famous rising star in Spain in 2002. At that time, I don’t know how many powerful teams were interested in him. Unfortunately, he wasted many years in a small club like Betis. He didn’t switch until he was 25 years old.
When I arrived in Valencia, I entered a strong team for the first time. To be honest, this is not entirely Joaquin's problem, but also the problem of Joaquin's agent, Joaquin's father. He failed to give Joaquin a very clear development.
That's why it took him so long to stay in a club like Betis. If it was Riester's choice, an outstanding talented player like Joaquin would not have wasted so much time.
It can be said that the Spanish wing players who appeared at the beginning had excellent breakthrough abilities. And not only their breakthrough abilities, their passing ability was also very outstanding among European football wing players.
"I'll consider it."
Sanchez nodded. Sanchez did not answer directly because he had a lot to consider. Riester didn't care. Riester wanted to continue to cooperate with Joaquin, but if Joaquin's father thought that the agent's profits were too much and wanted to take them back,
Riester doesn't care either. For Riester, having one more Joaquin is certainly good, but one less Joaquin won't be a fatal threat. Of course, Riester hopes that Joaquin can stay under him if possible.
, because at least he can create benefits of more than tens of millions of euros for List.
Several people were thinking about it while watching the game. Ramos is a player who pays great attention to wing offense. Under his playing style, Joaquin on the right and Malouda on the left kept passing to the center.
Medium. This provides the best platform for Baptista to penetrate from behind.
"Tuni, have you ever thought about building Extremadura Club into a strong team? Build a team that can participate in the UEFA Cup and even the Champions League."
Riester has begun to abandon Valencia, and Deportivo La Coruna, which has also begun to suffer from a shortage of funds, is also experiencing major problems. Deportivo is now much more difficult than in history because of too large a salary increase.
It has become a huge burden. Deportivo has even reached the point where it cannot survive without selling people. Riester believes that without other income, Deportivo will be in trouble within two or three years, and may even face another crisis.
Risk of bankruptcy.
Riester has no sympathy for Deportivo at all. No matter who he is, he must be responsible for what he has done, including Riester's disastrous defeat in Valencia. Riester has never regretted it. At the time, Riester jumped for huge benefits.
When entering the disputes of the Valencia board of directors, you should be mentally prepared for failure. The same is true for Lendoiro. He didn't know how much he weighed at the beginning, and he deserves the consequences now.
Valencia is still very strong, but Riester is really not optimistic about Soler. Once this prodigal son truly becomes the boss of Valencia, then Valencia's decline can be expected.
There are four strong teams in La Liga now, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Deportivo La Coruna. Lister can foresee that Valencia and Deportivo will definitely decline, and there should be teams to fill their positions. Lister, of course
I hope these teams are teams that I have a relationship with.
"Rister, you are really telling a joke. How can I build a strong team with my financial resources?"
Tunney Crespi shook his head. Who wouldn't want his team to be a strong team if he could. But he doesn't have that kind of financial strength. He is very self-aware. He is still a second-rate dealer. Follow Reese.
Drinking some soup is the right way to go.
"Maybe you can find someone to cooperate with."
Tuni Crespi waved his hand, smiled and said to Lister: "If you are Lister and you are willing to invest, then I support it with both hands. I will also give you the position of club chairman. But if it is other investors
, at my current age, I am no longer willing to scheming."
Lister did not continue to speak. Indeed, someone hoped to invest in the Extremadura Club through Lister, but Lister already understood what Tuni Crespi meant. Tuni Crespi
This person has no ambitions, he is just a man who is content with being rich. He wants to make a little money, and does not want strong men to enter the club and compete with him for control. Riester understood, so he did not continue to persuade him.
But Riester really hopes that Tuni Crespi can choose to cooperate with others, because Tuni Crespi’s financial strength is limited. Of course, Riester also knows that it is precisely because of Tuni Crespi’s financial strength.
It is a good thing that Liste will be allowed to do whatever he wants in the Extremadura Club only if there is a limit.
I walked around in Lisbon, Spain and looked at the results of Extremadura Club and Villarreal. It’s not very good, but it’s not very bad either. Ramos and Pellegrini
Both clubs have gained a foothold, and neither club is in danger of being relegated. Lister is relatively relieved.
However, List did not stay in Spain for long, because List received a call from Kurt Roberts. They studied all the information about Messi provided by List and believed that Messi did have investment value. They hoped to follow up
Lister talks about it in detail.
Lister was very happy after he put down the phone. In fact, before Messi, a fourteen-year-old player had already been sponsored, and he was the youngest player in football history to be sponsored. That person is the young genius Lun of Leeds United.
Farmer. He was sponsored by Adidas. Lister actually wanted to win several youth training players from Leeds United, including Lennon and Milner. Unfortunately, Lister was wrong.
The most popular people in England are scouts, and the relationship network of scouts is very complicated. Not only do they have relationships with many clubs, but they also have relationships with many agents. Therefore, after a scout discovers a player, he not only
Recommended to the team, and also recommended to those agents. For example, Lennon already had an agent when he was eleven years old, and the agent was very famous. He was the agent for Gascoigne back then.
Of course Lister knew that in the future there would be more powerful agents who would seduce Lennon and then kick him out.
Now Messi will be sponsored by Nike when he is fourteen years old. It costs US$300,000 for two years. This is Nike’s sponsorship of Messi this time. Nike actually wants to sign a long-term contract, that is
A six-year contract, but Rist rejected it outright.
Riester has his own plan for Messi. The World Junior Championship will be held in two years. Although the World Junior Championship has received much less attention than the World Youth Championship, Riester is still prepared to let Messi participate in the World Junior Championship.
Junior Championship. The most dazzling star of the 2003 World Junior Championship was Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas not only won the Golden Boot Award in the World Junior Championship at that time, but also the Golden Ball Award. But Riester believed that if Messi participated
If so, it's not much worse than Cesc Fabregas.
In the 2003 World Junior Championship, there were no players on the Argentine team who would become popular in later generations. However, there were still many outstanding talents at that time, including the talented attacking midfielder Cardoso, who was very famous in Argentina, and the Argentine World Junior Champion
Biglia, the captain of the team, was very famous at the time. Of course, Gago, who later moved to Real Madrid and was hailed as Redondo's successor, was also indispensable. If Messi is added, Argentina is still very strong.
First participate in the World Youth Championship and show your face in the World Series. After waiting for two years to shine in the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, that is one step at a time. Let the world of football recognize Messi as a talented player.
After the 2003 World Junior Championship, Lister believed that European football had begun to recognize the genius of Messi. By then, Nike would have to increase Messi’s sponsorship fee. (To be continued...)
