Although the team had officially announced its disbandment during the championship celebration ceremony, Su Dong still got up early for training the next morning, mainly doing some recovery training.
Nuno Cruz and other members of the personal coaching staff have already started taking vacations, so Su Dong practices alone.
After the training, he had breakfast with his parents, and then asked the driver to drive Wang Chuqing to the airport in person.
She booked an early flight back to Munich today.
Because of the disguise, no one noticed him along the way.
Perhaps, everyone in Barcelona has not yet woken up from last night's carnival.
When Su Dong returned home, Mendes was already waiting for him.
"Congratulations, Sue! Great job!"
As soon as Mendes saw Su Dong, he immediately stood up and greeted him, smiling from ear to ear.
Nowadays, Su Dong is like a money tree. Mendes doesn't need to do anything at all. Every day, people will take the initiative and try their best to send money to his door. This allows him to fully taste the pleasure of being the agent of the world's top superstars.
Not to mention anything else, even the world's top brands such as Nike, BMW, and Audi have deep business relationships with him. This has allowed his channels and personal relationships to develop at a deeper level than before, which will be of great help to him in the future.
Career is of great help.
Su Dong is quite satisfied with his agent.
Mendes has been able to expand his career in recent years not only because Su Dong is leading the way, but also because he is indeed very capable.
If nothing else, just because of his reputation among players and his ability to work both ways between players and clubs, this Portuguese agent is by no means ordinary.
As his career grows, Mendes no longer hangs around Sudong all day long like he used to. I heard that he has even started to get involved in some third-party ownership businesses for players, mainly in South America, where the football environment is relatively chaotic.
Especially Brazil.
I had mentioned it to Su Dong before and asked him if he was interested, but Su Dong had no intention of getting involved.
Third-party ownership is a nice way of saying it, but if you say it's not a nice thing to say, it means treating players as commodities.
As a player, Su Dong is quite disgusted with this, but he can't stand the chaotic South American football market, especially in Brazil. There is indeed a strong demand in this area, and naturally there is business in this area.
Mendez is an agent. From a businessman's perspective, if he doesn't do it, the market will be taken away, which is understandable.
…
"Yesterday, Soriano called me and he is now in charge of player transfers and contract renewals."
After the two chatted for a while, Mendes took the initiative to talk about the progress of the contract renewal.
Renewing the contract with Su Dong was something that Barcelona had decided on six months ago. Laporta had personally mentioned this matter to Su Dong before, saying that he would start contract renewal negotiations with Su Dong after the end of the season.
Now that the Champions League has been won and all the games this season have been settled, it should naturally be put on the agenda.
Su Dong found Mendes for the same reason.
"What did they say?" Su Dong asked with concern.
"As far as I know, in addition to you, Barcelona's current contract renewal plan also includes Iniesta and Messi. Messi should be officially confirmed. I heard that the annual salary offered is one million euros, which is not bad.
."
Su Dong was not surprised, it was as expected.
Both Messi and Iniesta have performed very well this season, and both of them have even begun to threaten Giuly's position. The French winger is currently unable to integrate into the team, and he does not have enough cards to give the ball.
The team specially tailored right-side offensive tactics for him, resulting in his current position not being secure.
This is sometimes the case. The team only has so much tactical authority. If it is given to one person, it cannot be given to another person.
The key is that Giuly missed some time due to injury this past season, when Iniesta and Messi performed very well.
Coupled with Su Dong's support, these two people rose quickly in Barcelona.
Everyone knows that Xiaobai and Messi are Su Dong's followers.
"Marcos Senna is also about to renew his contract, but I'm still talking about it. I hope to further establish his position." Mendes smiled.
This is another treasure in his hands.
You know, when Su Dong recommended him to him, Mendes didn't care very much and even looked down on him. But after Marcos Senna played a game in Barcelona, Mendes was surprised to find that he picked up
A treasure has arrived.
"Senna does have the ability to play the main role. It's a good thing to try to win. Moreover, he is not young anymore. If he doesn't fight for it now, it will be even harder in the future." Su Dong still supports Mendes' idea.
Marcos Senna was recommended by him, and he is also his core supporter. For such a player, Su Dong will definitely give strong support. More importantly, he is really not young. After he is thirty years old,
It is estimated that Barcelona will not have much interest in renewing his contract, and they will have no choice but to retire to other teams to retire.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of now to fight for the main position, and at the same time try to fight for the length of the contract.
This should be the last long-term contract in Marcos Senna's career.
"What about me? What position do they have for me?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Mendes smiled. In fact, Su Dong's contract renewal is the best to negotiate, because the initiative lies in the hands of Su Dong and Mendes.
"Barcelona is very sincere in renewing the contract. They really want to finalize the contract as soon as possible, but now there are several problems."
"tell me the story."
"First of all, the most important thing is the annual salary. The annual salary offered by Barcelona for the renewal contract is 8 million euros after tax, which is much more than before. Bonuses and appearance fees have also been relatively increased. Frankly speaking, I am not very satisfied with this.
."
"Eight million euros?" Su Dong thought for a while, but in fact he still thought it was okay. "As far as I know, the salaries paid by Real Madrid to superstars such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and Beckham are all tax.
After 6.4 million euros."
Su Dong's implication is that eight million euros after tax is actually enough.
All along, he has not had a particularly strong concept of annual salary, because the annual salary is actually less than 30% of his income.
Most of his income now comes from commercial sponsorships, especially sponsorships from some world-class brands.
In today's world football, apart from Su Dong, the only one who can do this is Beckham.
But you must know that when it comes to commercial sponsorship income, Beckham does not even have half of Su Dong’s.
It is not difficult to understand why Su Dong does not care much about annual salary.
"We don't compare with Galactico, because Florentino is from a management group and he attaches great importance to the salary structure. You know, why did Real Madrid want to sell Makelele? They would rather let him go than be satisfied.
His request for a small salary increase?"
"Salary structure?"
Mendes nodded, "Real Madrid attaches great importance to Makelele from beginning to end. Florentino is not stupid. Everyone can see the importance of Makelele, but the problem is that if Makelele's annual salary requirements are met,
, others will also follow suit, and Real Madrid's overall salary structure will rise accordingly, which exceeds the salary red line set by Florentino."
Su Dong also heard about this incident and later let go of substitute players such as McManaman for the same reason.
In the final analysis, the joining of Beckham significantly increased Real Madrid's salary expenditure, which naturally squeezed the salary space of players such as Makelele, and Real Madrid eventually had to sell him.
As for what Florence Nuo said to the outside world that he can find a replacement for Makelele at any time, that was just a rhetoric after he decided to sell him. It is estimated that even he himself would not believe this.
"I recently found out some information." Mendes smiled as if he was offering a treasure.
"What?"
"You know, when Laporta first took office, Barcelona's annual salary expenditure was as high as 120 million euros, and who had the highest salary among them?"
"It seems to be Kluivert. I remember it was reported by the media at the time."
This is also the reason why Barcelona was determined to sell the Dutch center later. The salary was too high, but it did not realize its due value at all.
"His annual salary after tax exceeded 10 million euros, which was the highest annual salary in world football at the time. There was no second one. Mendieta's annual salary was also very high, reaching 7.5 million euros after taxes.
After the annual salary, there are Puyol, Riquelme, Luis Enrique and others, their annual salary reaches or even exceeds 5 million euros, and even Herrard is close to 5 million euros."
Kluivert, Mendieta, Riquelme and Luis Enrique, who have retired or transferred, have all left Barcelona. Herrard is also basically determined to transfer this summer.
.
Puyol is the captain and the backbone of the defense, and his annual salary is slightly lower than that of Sudong and Ronaldinho.
If the information Mendes received is true, then Barcelona's annual salary structure during Gaspart's time was indeed outrageously high, and could even be said to be completely out of control.
"After winning the Champions League this season, according to the usual practice, there will definitely be a salary increase. I got the news that Ronaldinho's annual salary requirement for contract renewal is already 9 million euros. Barcelona wants it now.
Let’s hold down our annual salary and then talk to others.”
Su Dong understood what Mendes meant.
Barcelona's operating strategy is very simple. If Su Dong's annual salary is only 8 million euros, how can others talk about it?
By then, Ronaldinho himself will be embarrassed to offer an annual salary of nine million euros, right?
It can also be said that on the surface this is Su Dong's contract renewal, but in fact it is also a contract renewal negotiation for other players.
"What do you mean?" Su Dong asked.
This aspect is really not what he is good at.
"We don't have high demands, at least the same as Kluivert."
When Mendes said this, he smiled proudly and said: "You are now a double footballer, and you have just helped Barcelona complete such an epic reversal in the Champions League final. What did Kluivert have back then? He
We can get an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, why can’t we?”
Su Dong nodded slightly, making money, who would have too much?
Besides, whether you are short of money is one thing, but whether you pay attention to it is another matter.
To a certain extent, the annual salary reflects the importance the club attaches to a player.
