Chapter 410 Cristiano Ronaldo’s talks with Real Madrid collapsed, Real Madrid pursued Lin Quan with

Mendes is not very supportive of Cristiano Ronaldo's idea of ​​leaving Real Madrid, because he knows very well that he can only stay in Real Madrid and rely on Real Madrid's influence and strong momentum in football.

Only Ronaldo can maintain his current status and influence in football. Once he turns against Real Madrid and leaves Real Madrid, his influence will inevitably decrease significantly.

Without Real Madrid's operation, it will be too difficult for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or.

Moreover, for a superstar like Ronaldo, there are indeed not many clubs suitable for him to go to.

Going to a new team will also face the problem of adaptation. For a player of his age, this is really too risky.

Once you lose the bet, you will be doomed.

Therefore, Mendes tried every means to persuade Ronaldo to calm down and not act impulsively.

But the more he did this, the more Ronaldo couldn't calm down.

He felt that Mendes only cared about his business empire and did not consider himself at all, which made Ronaldo very unhappy.

"That's enough. I don't want to hear these words anymore. Either find a suitable home for me, or let Real Madrid accept my conditions. No need to say anything else!"

Ronaldo did not give Mendes any face, but said in a tone that was almost commanding.

Mendes was stunned for a moment and gave Ronaldo a complicated look.

The cooperation between the two has lasted for 13 years. When Mendes discovered Ronaldo, Ronaldo was not as famous as he is now.

It was he who used his business acumen and connections in football to recommend Ronaldo to Ferguson, helped Ronaldo land in the Premier League and join Manchester United, and then used Manchester United as a springboard to move to Real Madrid for the world's most valuable player.

It can be said that Ronaldo's ability to reach this point is certainly inseparable from his talent and strength, but in addition, a large part of the credit belongs to Mendes.

But now, the relationship between the two has reached such a stage, which makes Mendes feel very bitter.

Sure enough, my wings have hardened and I want to fly solo.

"Okay, I'm going to find Florentino!"

Mendes smiled bitterly and nodded, without saying anything else, he left Ronaldo's residence directly, bought the nearest ticket and flew directly to Madrid to find the chairman of Real Madrid.

In Florentino's office, Lafayette was not surprised by Mendes' visit.

News came from the club that Cristiano Ronaldo was a very unscrupulous guy and was clamoring for a salary increase, which made Lafayette feel quite unhappy.

Ronaldo's annual salary is not low. His annual after-tax salary of 17 million euros is enough to rank second in today's football, second only to Manchester City's Lin Quan.

Although there are rumors that Barcelona will raise Messi's salary, this kind of thing is only dazzling after all and has not yet been implemented.

When Barcelona really gets a promotion and salary increase from Messi, it won't be too late for Real Madrid to make another move.

The contract can be renewed at any time, but using the salary increase to blackmail Real Madrid made Florentino very unhappy.

Real Madrid is not decided by any player, it is him, the club chairman, who has the final say!

Therefore, Florentino rejected Mendes' request for a salary increase for Ronaldo.

"Jorge, Ronaldo has made great contributions to Real Madrid over the years and helped us win a La Liga championship. But you don't know Real Madrid's salary system. If Ronaldo is really given a salary increase, then why not Does Delic want a raise? Does Benzema want a raise? Does Bale want a raise?"

Florentino's words made Mendes smile bitterly. Cristiano Ronaldo only helped the team win one La Liga championship in six years at Real Madrid. Is this considered an outstanding contribution to Real Madrid?

Why do you feel that the chairman is mocking himself and Ronaldo?

As for the problem of Real Madrid's salary system, it is indeed a problem.

But with Casillas about to leave the team, there are not many players in the Real Madrid team who are older than Ronaldo.

Both Modric and Benzema are not as strong as Ronaldo, so naturally they cannot be generalized with Ronaldo.

Although Bell's ability is good, he came too late and his qualifications are far inferior to Ronaldo.

So, after all, it was just Florentino's excuse. The other party made it clear that he didn't want to give Ronaldo a salary increase.

"Lafayette, Cristiano is a very competitive player. Like Real Madrid, he is eager to win various honors on the court."

"But the club has failed several times in the Champions League. Since he joined the team, the club has changed three head coaches. The team is still very far away from the Champions League championship. Cristiano is 30 years old this year. He wants to play in the Champions League. Before he retires, he will realize his dream again, and I hope Lafayette can give him such an opportunity."

Mendes said to Florentillo very politely that he still has many players playing for Real Madrid, so he cannot completely offend the chairman of Real Madrid because of Ronaldo.

Mendes said it very euphemistically. Real Madrid wants to keep Ronaldo, but it is actually very simple.

Either give him a salary increase and use money to retain him.

Either continue to increase signings to supplement his own strength and let Ronaldo see that staying in Real Madrid will allow him to win the coveted Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

If one of these two things can be satisfied, then Mendes will be able to start Ronaldo's work after returning.

But if Real Madrid doesn't show anything, it will be difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not a puppet at the mercy of others, he is a very independent person.

Once Mendes fails to do what he asks, he is likely to change his agent and fire Mendes, even if the other agent is the number one agent in football!

As his number one star, to be honest, Mendes doesn't want to have such a tense relationship with Ronaldo.

The reason why his company is what it is today, in addition to relying on his excellent business acumen and daring character, is also inseparable from the successful signing of Ronaldo.

Without superstars and top coaches who have huge influence in football such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mourinho, it would be difficult for him to become a guest of so many wealthy clubs.

Without the connections with these wealthy clubs, it would be impossible for his players to move to these teams so easily.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only try to save it as much as possible. After all, the conflict between Ronaldo and Real Madrid is irreconcilable.

"Haha, if he wants to leave, we won't set up obstacles, as long as the other party can afford the liquidated damages!"

Florentillo chuckled, not caring about Mendes' hidden threat.

Isn't he just threatening himself that Ronaldo will leave?

Ronaldo is indeed very powerful, but without him, Real Madrid will still be the world's top giants, and their strength will not be greatly affected.

In fact, as long as they can buy that person, Real Madrid's strength will not decrease but increase, and it may become stronger.

Therefore, Florentillo was so confident and showed an indifferent attitude.

Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed very strong and very important to Real Madrid. If he is willing to stay at Real Madrid, then Florentino will naturally welcome him.

But if he really wants to leave, Real Madrid won't stop him.

This summer, Real Madrid will join the army chasing Lin Quan.

Considering the high transfer fee required to buy Lin Quan, and after he comes to the team, someone needs to make room for him and the status of the team leader.

If Real Madrid can really buy Lin Quan, sending Ronaldo away is almost an inevitable result.

A few years ago, Florentillo had the idea of ​​asking Lin Quan to help Ronaldo, but now, after Lin Quan continues to prove his strength in various competitions, he has completely given up this idea. .

Although he would not say it openly, in Florentino's heart, he felt that Lin Quan was much better than Ronaldo.

If Manchester City was willing to exchange, he would definitely send Ronaldo away early in the morning.

Although Ronaldo is not as powerful as Lin Quan, he is still one of the Big Three.

Thirty years old is not too old. If you transfer and leave at this time, you can earn more than 150 million euros no matter what.

With this money, Real Madrid has sufficient funds to purchase Lin Quan.

As for the outcome of Lin Quan not coming and Cristiano Ronaldo being let go, Florentillo has not never thought about it.

Anyway, Real Madrid's record in recent years has been poor. They couldn't win the championship with Ronaldo, but they are as great as before without Ronaldo. Is it possible that Real Madrid can still be relegated?

Besides, after he fired Ancelotti and promoted Zidane, Real Madrid will face reconstruction.

For a team in the rebuilding period, naturally there is no way to put too high demands on their record.

Therefore, Real Madrid can fully bear the consequences of Ronaldo's departure, which is why he is not afraid of the threat of Mendes.

Mendes sighed after hearing Lafayette's words.

This can be considered a breakdown. The differences between the two sides are too great, and this negotiation has completely failed.

Next door, Messi and Lin both have at least two Champions League titles, and Cristiano Ronaldo only has one now. For the sake of the championship, it is probably a foregone conclusion that he will leave Real Madrid.

…

Just when the relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid was at loggerheads, Manchester City also felt a little nervous about the rumors of outsiders snatching Lin Quan.

"Our contract with Lin Quan only has three years left. Is it too short?"

"It's a bit short. Three years flies by so quickly. I think we should extend his contract for another five years and extend it to 2020!"

Lin Quan's contract was signed in the summer of 2013. The contract period is five years and expires in the summer of 2018.

Of course, clubs usually renew contracts with players in advance and will not wait until the contract expires to negotiate.

The more important the player, the earlier the contract renewal negotiations begin, sometimes one year or even two years in advance.

But Lin Quan's current contract still has three years left, and Manchester City can't sit still and wants to start contract renewal negotiations in advance. This is indeed a bit abnormal.

Just when everyone in the club supported the early renewal of Lin Quan's contract, someone suddenly said:

"But if this is the case, the new contract must give him a salary increase, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

Lin Quan's annual salary is the highest in the Premier League and even in the entire football world at 20 million pounds, with a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds.

Generally speaking, if the club takes the initiative to renew the contract in advance, it will definitely require a salary increase on the original basis.

Based on Lin Quan's current annual salary, even if Manchester City only increases it by 10%, it will still be a huge expense.

What's more, if it is only increased by 10%, it seems a bit insincere. The players may not agree and may even get emotional because of it, which is not worth the gain.

Therefore, regarding the matter of renewing Lin Quan's contract, the club's senior management met and discussed for several days, but could not make up their minds.

In the end, Manchester City chairman Fahim personally went to Abu Dhabi and met with the big boss Mansour before the matter was settled.

Manchester City intends to offer Lin Quan a new contract worth 250 million pounds.

The length of the contract is 5 years and the expiration date is June 30, 2020.

In this new contract, Manchester City has offered Lin Quan an annual salary of up to 25 million pounds, and in addition to the annual salary, he also has a loyalty bonus of 125 million pounds.

During the contract period, Lin Quan can receive loyalty bonuses of 15 million, 20 million, 25 million, 30 million and 35 million pounds respectively in the five years.

If Lin Quan signs this contract, he will defend his position as the highest-paid player in football.

Not only that, even if Barcelona really offers Messi a sky-high contract, Messi's annual salary is still 5 million euros less than Lin Quan.

Lin Quan will also break the football record and become the first player to reach the 30 million euro annual salary level.

If you include the loyalty award, his income can almost exceed the annual salary of most of the five major league teams.

Manchester City was full of confidence. After receiving the instruction from the big boss, they immediately found Lin Quan's agent Perret and wanted to start contract renewal negotiations with him.

Perret was very shocked by the contract offered by Manchester City. He deserves to be the richest man in the Premier League. Isn't this too arrogant?

If he were Lin Quan, he would be eager to sign his name on the agreement immediately.

But unfortunately, he was not, so Pere could only find Lin Quan and report the matter to him.

"Don't we still have three years left on the contract? Why are Manchester City so anxious?"

After Lin Quan took a look at the new contract that Perret had brought over, he was almost blinded by the long list of numbers on it.

But now he is no longer the poor guy who relied on Barcelona's bonuses a few years ago. After receiving Manchester City's sky-high signing fee and high salary, as well as a lot of sponsorship fees.

Lin Quan's net worth at this time has exceeded 300 million euros.

This does not include his investments in the Internet field and Bitcoin. If all these assets are included, his worth will probably exceed 1 billion euros.

After holding so many assets, money is really just a string of numbers to him.

Therefore, he cares more about the reasons behind Manchester City's actions.

"It should be that the rumors about your transfer from the outside world have given Manchester City a sense of crisis and they are eager to renew your contract to ensure that you will not leave Manchester City, right?"

Pere's guess was similar to what Lin Quan was thinking, and he also felt that this was the most likely possibility.

However, Lin Quan doesn't really want to sign such a long contract with Manchester City.

The weather in Manchester is indeed bad. Not only Negredo and other Spanish players can't stand it and want to leave, but Lin Quan also doesn't like the climate here.

Moreover, British food is really terrible. The longer I stay here, the more I dislike British food.

In addition, after staying in a team for too long and winning all the honors, players will lose their ambition, motivation, and even get bored.

Therefore, Lin Quan instructed Perret to put aside Manchester City's contract renewal requirements for the time being and wait for him to think about it comprehensively before making a decision.

Before that, Lin Quan didn't want others to disturb his vacation.

After finally getting a good rest, he decided to go out and relax.

After all, next year, Spain will play in the European Cup, and he may not have such a long vacation.
