List was very surprised, but it didn't show on his face. However, it was impossible for List not to be surprised. List was talking to PSV about Messi's contract extension, and he didn't expect to receive a call from Chelsea CEO Peter Kay.
Nien's phone number.
Kenyon came to Lister simply because he wanted to discuss the contract renewal issues of Drogba and Cech. This surprised Lister. This was the first time that this situation had happened to Lister for so long. Every time
When the club wanted to renew the contract with Riester's players, it was a decision made out of desperation.
Just like when List was in La Liga, he set a low liquidated damages. When the players perform well and there are buyers, the club will be anxious to renew the contract with List. Using this method, List is not the best in La Liga.
A lot of money was extorted. People like Boboski and Villa relied on contracts like this to make Riester earn a lot of money. But these things were done by Riester just to force the club to negotiate a contract extension.
question.
But the current Drogba and Cech do not have this problem. They just came to Chelsea in the summer of 2004, and their contracts are less than one year old. And their contracts are relatively good. If they let go
The salary level at Arsenal is the maximum level. Leicester has thought about changing their contract, but he has no specific ideas yet. He just knows that it will be a new contract either this summer or this winter. But he really didn’t expect Chelsea to take the initiative to bring it up.
Regarding contract renewal, this is simply a good thing that fell from the sky.
Surprised, but Lister, as a powerful agent, did not show any surprise. Instead, he took the original contract renewal copy sent by Kenyon nonchalantly. After seeing it, Lister became more and more surprised.
Gao. Because this contract is so good that Lister even wonders if Chelsea is out of their minds.
"Peter, to be honest, Chelsea's contract is really good overall."
List has been an agent for more than ten years. This is the first time he has seen such a good contract without fighting for it. Chelsea are willing to give Drogba a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds and Cech a weekly salary of 90,000 pounds.
Weekly salary. This kind of salary is among the best in European football. It is completely the first-level salary. Even within the Chelsea team, Terry and Lampard are currently the highest-paid.
One hundred thousand pounds. The contract between the two of them is completely the treatment of European football superstars. It is the treatment of superstars such as Ronaldo, Raul, Figo, Zidane, and Beckham.
It’s not just the weekly salary that makes List satisfied. The various bonuses provided by Chelsea also make List very satisfied. In fact, the income Chelsea players receive from the club every year is not just salary. The bonuses are also higher than other clubs. This is Chelsea Club
Sent in another form to avoid taxes.
"How about it, Lister. If you think there is anything that can be changed in the contract, you can always raise it."
Lister put the contract aside and said with a smile: "I took a rough look at it, and overall I am quite satisfied. But I need to go back and consider the specific details. Give me a little time. In a few days
I'll come find you."
"good."
After all, this kind of contract cannot be signed immediately. Lister needs to go back and take a look. He needs to see if there are any loopholes in it. After all, this is a four-year contract, and both parties need to be cautious. Every time a player's contract is renewed,
It cannot be concluded in one or two negotiations, it will take a long time.
Lister put the contract aside, then looked at Kenyon and said: "Peter, why are Chelsea so generous all of a sudden."
"It's not that we are generous, but that Didier and Peter performed so well. The club must reward them."
What Kenyon said is true. After Drogba came to Chelsea this season, his performance in the Premier League was completely in line with his worth. At the end of the season, Drogba had already scored 16 goals in the Premier League.
He scored two goals in the FA Cup and five goals in the Champions League, totaling 23 goals.
Not only that, Drogba's tactical role is very important. One person in the frontcourt can disrupt the opponent's defense, giving wingers such as Robben, Duff, and Joe Cole huge sprint space, and also giving Lan who inserts from behind.
Pader's chance to shoot. As a center forward, he has assisted seven times this season.
Drogba's performance makes Chelsea very satisfied. The 27-year-old Drogba has become the top forward in the Premier League by virtue of his performance at Chelsea.
As for Cech, it goes without saying. The 23-year-old has already won the Premier League's Best Goalkeeper once, and is also the first choice for the Premier League's Best Goalkeeper this season. Cech is currently known as the player in European football who can compete with Buffon and Cech.
Well, Casillas and others are comparable goalkeepers. It should be said that the current price of Cech is higher than that of Casillas. Cech has already won the European Cup and World Cup with the national team, and after joining Chelsea, he
The fame is getting bigger and bigger.
The two of them are considered to be the best among Chelsea's signings this season. Including Robben and Carvalho, they have become the players with the best signing results.
"Peter, even if they perform well, Chelsea don't need to be so anxious. I should be anxious about this contract extension,"
"Rister, what do you want to know?"
"No, it's just an accident."
List is different from other agents. List is an agent oligarchy spanning more than ten leagues in Europe. List does not just end the business with the club for one or two players. On the contrary, List can influence
An agent of a club's policies. Similarly, in order to do business, Lister must always understand the changes in the policies of some big clubs.
"Actually, there is no other reason. Chelsea is a backward club and cannot compare with the European football giants in any aspect except money. But Mr. Abramovich hopes that Chelsea can be on an equal footing with the European football giants in a short time.
So I can only think of this way."
Lister didn't understand Kenyon's words at first, because Lister already knew Chelsea's idea. But what does it have to do with suddenly increasing the wages of Drogba and Cech.
But after all, Lister had been in this business for many years, and suddenly he thought of a possibility, so he was surprised and said: "Why, Chelsea wants to introduce a superstar."
There is only one answer. If Chelsea wants to increase its influence in a short period of time, there are only two ways. One is to let Chelsea win the championship in a short period of time. This is what Mourinho is doing now. Historically, Mourinho
In three years, Ou led Chelsea to win six championships, including two Premier League championships. These championships made Chelsea jump to a higher level.
Another way is to introduce superstars. If superstars can choose Chelsea, it will mean that Chelsea's attractiveness has greatly increased. The increase in attractiveness also shows the influence of this club from another aspect.
Winning the championship requires a season of testing. But the introduction of superstars can directly bring huge influence. For example, now that Chelsea has brought in superstars such as Raul, Henry, and Totti, they will immediately improve Chelsea's performance. Influence. Now raise the salaries of Drogba and Cech to prepare for the introduction of superstars.
"Liester, you really should become a club executive."
Kenyon nodded and said with a smile: "You are right. Mr. Abramovich hopes to let Chelsea introduce superstars to expand Chelsea's influence. But for Chelsea, money is the most attractive. Therefore, Chelsea must reward players who perform well and give them a high salary. Only in this way can we have the confidence to negotiate with superstars, and we are not afraid that the introduction of superstars will make Chelsea's original players dissatisfied."
"kindness."
Lister understood what Kenyon meant. Isn't this the same effect as the ancient Chinese saying of "buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold"? Increase the salaries of current Chelsea players who are performing well, and let those superstars see Chelsea's courage. Then the negotiations will be beneficial. Much more. And it also greatly increases Chelsea’s influence.
100,000 pounds. Drogba was able to get a salary of 100,000 pounds after just one year after arriving at Chelsea. At Arsenal, people like super shooter Henry, super midfielder Vieira, and Arsenal's most talented Pires are known as the number one in the Premier League. Ashley Cole, a left-back, these players are all top-notch in terms of ability, but how do they compare with Drogba and Cech in terms of salary?
That's the way people are. Although Drogba has performed well this season, he definitely cannot be compared with Henry at the moment. Henry is a real marksman in the Premier League. In the first five years of the 21st century, Henry was the best shooter in European football. Definitely one of the best. But Henry's current salary is only as high as his previous salary. There will definitely be some dissatisfaction, including that Vieira currently far exceeds Lampard, but his salary is simply not comparable to them.
Of course, such a salary system will attract people, and it will definitely attract many people. Maybe superstar players will also be interested. After all, Chelsea will soon have money and championships, and superstar players are also human beings, and they also need money. When money is abundant, people will be attracted. Superstars will also be attracted when they can't refuse.
"Peter, I heard coach Mourinho said Chelsea can only have one superstar, and that's himself."
"yes."
Kenyon nodded. Although Kenyon and Ferguson have worked together, Mourinho is tougher than Ferguson. In terms of treating club bosses, Ferguson is far better than Mourinho. Of course, in terms of controlling the locker room , Mourinho is not inferior to Ferguson at all, but he is a little less tactful than Ferguson.
"But there is no way. What Mr. Abramovich has always been obsessed with is that Chelsea can bring in a world-class star. How can you say that Jose is just a head coach."
"That would be fun."
List has understood Chelsea's policy changes. But List is only happy, because once Chelsea introduces superstars, the salary will continue to increase. The highest salary in the Premier League is currently 100,000 pounds, and in a few years it will be 120,000, 130,000 or even 100,000 pounds. 150,000 or 160,000 will appear. For agents, now is really the best time.
