66. The first person

Another advantage of the establishment of this agency is that it has recruited several agents who hold domestic and international football agent certificates since its establishment, and has signed agency contracts with most of the players of the Longteng Club.? ??

Because Zhang Sheng knows that in the next few years, the price of domestic players will soar, but there are only a handful of good players. Many clubs use all means to seduce players, and some agents and various brokers are...

There are many hands in between, such as Zhao Zhen, a very famous football legend in domestic football. He is involved in the transfer of many players. In particular, Wu Xi's three stops that made a lot of noise in 2016 are related to him.

Among them, Xu Mingyu's agency contract was signed with Wuzhou. When faced with Sporting Lisbon's purchase this time, Zhang Sheng mainly negotiated with the club and the agency to negotiate the contract with them.

Aurelio Pereira visited the Longteng Club as soon as he received the response from the Longteng team, which shows his eagerness for Xu Mingyu. Because during the just-concluded World Youth Championship, FIFA and many professional sports media

The selection of the best team and substitute players for this World Youth Championship has been announced.

As the biggest dark horse of the World Youth Championship, and because the team is held back by other low-level players, the outside world is paying great attention to the Chinese team. Among them, Qin Minghao, Li Yun and Xu Mingyu are often on the list in these media selections, such as

Qin Minghao and Li Yun are among FIFA's best lists, while France's L'Equipe, Germany's Kicker, and Britain's BBC have replaced Qin Minghao and Xu Mingyu respectively. After all, in their

It seems that Xu Mingyu, who is still mature, has a greater advantage in terms of age than Qin Minghao, who is already 20 years old.

Xu Mingyu, who scored 3 goals and 2 assists in the World Youth Championship, has also attracted the attention of many European clubs. He is about to turn 18 and is regarded as the star of hope in world football. However, given the past performance of Chinese players

Based on the experience of failure, there were more inquiries and offers for trial training than direct offers. On the contrary, Sporting Lisbon, which had been following Xu Mingyu for nearly half a year, made a direct offer.

Pereira seemed very sincere in his meeting with Zhang Sheng. After learning that Zhang Sheng could speak Portuguese, he said directly: "I am very optimistic about Xu Mingyu's future. Sporting Lisbon will focus on cultivating him."

"But you won't give him a chance to play in the first team, right?" Zhang Sheng asked.

Faced with Zhang Sheng's questioning, Pereira was a little embarrassed, but he answered calmly: "We cannot guarantee every player's first-team position. After all, these are determined by ability and status. But we can guarantee Xu Mingyu

Get the best training.”

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "But I think young players need a lot of formal games to grow enough. And it doesn't have to be Portuguese games."

Hearing that there was something in Zhang Sheng's words, Pereira asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Zhang Sheng said: "As far as I know, very few Chinese players can succeed in Europe."

Pereira said proudly: "That's true. With all due respect, the European leagues are far higher than the Chinese domestic leagues. But I also believe in my vision. I think Xu Mingyu is a talented player. In our

With the training of Sporting Lisbon, he will have a good future."

Faced with Pereira's pride, Zhang Sheng also agreed with him: "That's true. But I heard that Sporting Lisbon's B team can participate in the Portuguese League next season?"

Pereira quickly grasped the point: "Yes, it is indeed the case. Last season our club's B team participated in the Portuguese League and achieved a good result of 4th place. I think after Xu Mingyu arrived at our club

, if he has no place in the first team for the time being, we will put him in the B team to compete. After all, he is only 18 years old. There are also many young people in our B team. I think he should be able to adapt to the team's atmosphere.

.”

Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "Then I think we have reached an agreement on Xu Mingyu's opportunity to participate."

Pereira also happily complimented: "Coach Zhang, you are really a person who is willing to think about the future of young players. Many times the other club only thinks about the transfer fee, but you are the only one who raised the issue of participation.

.”

Zhang Sheng was not deceived, and he started another round of negotiations: "We really won't set many difficulties on the transfer fee, but we hope to get a certain share of the secondary transfer sale based on the existing quotation.

, we hope the share ratio is 50%. At the same time, we hope there will be a buy-back clause. If Xu Mingyu is not very adaptable to the European football environment, we hope to recycle him at a premium of 20%."

When Zhang Sheng stated these conditions, Pereira was obviously very dissatisfied and kept shouting: "no! no! no!"

When Zhang Sheng finished speaking about his conditions, Pereira quickly said: "This is not acceptable. We are Sporting Lisbon, not an unknown small club. We are dedicated to cultivating players and through the resale of players.

Making money is not our ultimate goal, we are a giant team in Europe. The share of the second sale is unacceptable."

Faced with Pereira's exaggerated reaction, Zhang Sheng was not confused: "As far as I know, many players in your club have clauses for a second sale share when they are sold, including the fact that you have been negotiating with Porto some time ago.

That's what Moutinho is arguing about."

Because just in May, Monaco of Ligue 1 wanted to package the Porto twin stars Moutinho and Rodriguez for 7,000, and Moutinho's old club Sporting Lisbon would get 25% of Moutinho's second transfer.

So Porto priced Moutinho at 1oo and Rodriguez at 69oo, so Lisbon could only get 25% of 1oo, and Rodriguez was fortunate to be promoted to the fourth most valuable player in history.

Of course, this is a rumor, and it contains the meaning of black shop Porto. In the end, Moutinho also joined Monaco for 2500 euros. But regarding Pereira’s so-called problem that his team does not accept the second transfer share

It's just a joke.

But in the face of Zhang Sheng's cynicism, Pereira's face obviously changed. He still said: "But Xu Mingyu is not Moutinho. Moutinho is a rare genius in Portugal. Besides, your 50%

The share is too high, so this will definitely not work.”

Zhang Sheng is still very familiar with such negotiation methods: "But you also know that Xu Mingyu was selected into the best team by several European professional media this time. Even without referring to star players like Pogba and Zouma,

The transfer fee of 1oo offered by your club is indeed too outrageous. I think we have the same idea. We are all optimistic about Xu Mingyu's future, so we deserve the long-term benefits. We can appropriately lower the share ratio.

, we can get it down to 45%.”

"No! This is impossible!" Pereira said: "It is impossible to have such a high share ratio. This is not in line with the tradition of European transfers. We can only give a share of 10% at most."

"4o%, this is the final price." Zhang Sheng insisted.

Pereira shook his head and said: "15%. This is already a very good discount."

Faced with such haggling, Zhang Sheng felt like he was buying cabbage at the vegetable market. But Zhang Sheng knew that such a share of 5% would not be a small amount in the future.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement on a 25% share ratio, and then came the more difficult buy-back terms.

In players' transfer contracts, the buy-back clause is a relatively common clause. But the buy-back clause is also very different. One is that if the player's new club wants to sell, then there is a clause stating that as long as the old club The bid is the same as that of other clubs. The old club has priority to purchase, and the new club must agree to the contract negotiations between the old club and the player. The second is to indicate in the contract how much the old club will need to pay in transfer fees if it wants to repurchase the player. The new club must agree to transfer the player to the old club.

It was the second clause that Zhang Sheng proposed, and Zhang Sheng had his own judgment on this clause.

First, consider Xu Mingyu's ability value and potential value. Xu Mingyu is now 7o/85. And the potential value of 85 is not enough for him to gain a foothold in the European giants. Taking the current team's foreign aid as an example, midfielder Kante has 12o However, in reality, his performance is only one season's highlight, and he is not the first choice defensive midfielder in the French team. So Xu Mingyu can only play in the middle and lower reaches of the non-big five leagues like Portugal. Playing games, or playing games in the second-tier leagues of the five major leagues, would not be worthwhile if the buy-back terms are too high.

In fact, Zhang Sheng has considered the demand for good players by domestic teams in the next few years. If a domestic team offers a price of 1,000 euros to buy them, it will be very possible. After all, Xu Mingyu's ability is better than that of the current national team. The potential of the main players of the national team is much higher. Because according to the situation that Zhou Hai and Sun Yu can also join the national team, the potential value of the main players of the national team is only about 75 at most. Then once Xu Mingyu wants to return to China to play If the ball is lost, the price the Longteng Club will pay will be huge.

After Pereira raised objections to the buy-back clause, Zhang Sheng did not bother too much. After all, Pereira could not have imagined the demand for players in China's domestic leagues and the exaggerated prices. In the end, when Zhang Sheng put the buy-back price After raising the price to 1oo% of the current purchase price, Pereira agreed to this request.

In the end, Longteng Club and Pereira reached an agreement, with 100 euros and 25% of the second transfer divided into 200 euros of buy-back clause. At the same time, the agreement stipulated that Xu Mingyu’s playing time in Sporting Lisbon B team must be in Players must play at least 3o games in 42 games in a Portuguese Liga season.

After these discussions, Zhang Sheng allowed Sporting Lisbon to start negotiating a personal contract with Xu Mingyu, who is also the first person from the Dragons to stay abroad. (To be continued.)
