This is the conversation in the Tottenham Hotspur offices across the ocean in England.
The rooster icon engraved on the door represents their symbol.
The middle-aged man is Pochettino, the famous coach in today's football world, and the bald man beside him is none other than Tottenham boss Levi.
In the current Premier League, Tottenham's record is booming, and they may even compete for the Premier League championship this season.
With the reinforcements in their midfield and the perfect form of forward Harry Kane, Tottenham are in a prosperous situation.
But at this moment, Bai Ran came into their sight.
They lack such a midfielder!
Pochettino took a liking to this kid right away.
He had talked with Alice, Bai Ran's contact person, on the phone before. At that time, Bai Ran was still playing in Castile, a Spanish second division B team.
As expected, Pochettino had foresight and discovered Bai Ran's extraordinary potential so early.
But unfortunately, Bai Ran had no intention of transferring at the time, and Pochettino's plan came to nothing.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the winter window came, and Bai Ran actually joined Real Madrid...
It seems that this kid is not determined not to transfer, but that certain conditions are not in place!
After Pochettino learned the news, he immediately went back and conveyed it to Tottenham Chairman Levy.
Levi was doubtful and couldn't believe the young players that Pochettino boasted about, so he watched the Real Madrid vs. Espanyol game with Pochettino.
After watching this game, it seems that as Pochettino said, this kid's talent is really strong...
If you can buy it, it will definitely be a rare addition to Tottenham!
But sixty million?
A little too much!
Levi shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Or do you have other plans?"
Pochettino swallowed his saliva and said: "No, I came to you today just for this one thing. And you see, this kid is only 17 years old. He will definitely play better games in the future. Now he has six thousand Mando said less.”
"If this reaches the peak period of 27 or 28 years old, then it is not something that 60 million can solve..."
After what Pochettino said, Levi watched the live broadcast of the game and seemed to have a picture of this kid holding the trophy in the future in his mind. Indeed, 60 million would be enough to win it by then.
His current performance and age are definitely worthy of this price, but no one knows what will happen in the future. Is 60 million worth the gamble?
After thinking for a while, Levi slapped the table.
"I know, I'm willing to give it a try when the summer window comes, but it's best if the price isn't too outrageous."
"At least make me feel it's worth it. You can arrange the specific things, okay?"
"I agree to the deal, but the price must be right."
Pochettino swallowed, forced a smile, and nodded immediately.
Although the boss agreed, he did not start contract negotiations immediately, but had to wait until Xia Chuang before making any plans.
Summer window?
Looking at this kid's condition, how much will he be worth when he waits for Xia Chuang?
That must be rising!
It is estimated that it may double!
A transfer of more than 100 million is an astronomical figure that Tottenham can't even imagine. So far, there has been no such transfer record in football...
It looks like this transfer is in doubt.
On the other side, Bai Ran completed a hat trick and used Ronaldo's signature pendulum pass, which attracted passionate cheers on the court!
After this goal, the score gap on the field has been stretched to three goals, and it is impossible for the Spaniard to get back in this game anyway.
The time soon came to 45 minutes, and the situation on the court was already very clear. Real Madrid had a total of 12 shots, 6 of which were within the goal frame, and all three goals were scored by Bai Ran.
On the other hand, the Spaniard only had 2 shots, and one missed the target, so the chances were slim.
With the referee's whistle, the half-time game was over. The Spaniard was crushed by Real Madrid. The game was also thrilling. The two sides did not seem to save face for their opponents in this game!
Real Madrid attacked with all their strength, and the opponent showed no signs of weakness. There was full of physical confrontation and small moves without interruption.
At halftime, Zidane looked anxious in the dressing room.
Because he knew that the selection for the European Golden Boy Award was coming soon. As a very competitive player, Bai Ran had a high chance of winning the European Golden Boy Award this year.
This is also the first time in history that an Asian player has won this honor. Now that this honor is right in front of him, he can also see that Bai Ran is very eager for this honor.
But he really couldn't let Bai Ran continue in this game.
"Bai Ran, can you rest in the second half?"
"Now our score advantage is large enough, and the opponent's actions against you have begun to become more vicious. I'm afraid you will get injured during the game."
Although Bai Ran was not afraid of these actions, he still wanted to protect himself.
Looking at Duarte's tackle in the first half, it was obviously emotional, and he has already scored three in this game. Who knows how they will mark him in the second half?
Although he has a BUFF that is immune to injuries and illnesses, it is only level 1 and can only be immune to some minor injuries and diseases. If it is particularly serious, the system cannot do anything.
It’s more important to protect yourself!
So Bai Ran nodded: "Okay."
Zidane is very pleased that such a sensible and obedient player is what every head coach hopes to see.
Therefore, Zidane replaced Toni Kroos in the second half to continue the challenge, and there were also a series of changes in tactical arrangements.
Bai Ran, on the other hand, sat on the bench.
After a ten-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the second half of the game was about to begin.
Since there was one less player on the field, the Spaniard also made tactical adjustments. The attacker in the frontcourt was replaced and a central defender was substituted to consolidate the defense.
After all, the friendship between the two teams still exists, and the help Real Madrid has given to the Spaniard is also indelible. They do not want to have too much trouble with Real Madrid because of this game, so the head coach severely criticized Duarte and reminded other players that in the second half The movements must be smaller.
Real Madrid slowed down the pace in the second half, and Jese from Spain came on, replacing the midfield master Modric.
But their offensive firepower is still very fierce!
Perhaps it was because the opponent's defensive end became a little timid about physical contact. Real Madrid's offensive waves came one after another, and the opponent simply couldn't resist it.
Cristiano Ronaldo led the way, crossed two people and then volleyed with his left foot from inside the arc of the penalty area - the ball hit the net and it went in!
The score on the field reached 4-0, and the gap was too big to catch up!
Then, in the 82nd minute of the game, Jese came on as a substitute, cut into the left side of the penalty area and made a cross. Cristiano Ronaldo headed the ball from close range, and the ball once again hit the Spaniard's net!
5-0!
This can hardly be called a confrontation, it is simply a massacre!
The Spaniard's morale was completely destroyed by Real Madrid!
There was little game time left, and they had no chance to fight back unless a miracle happened.
Sure enough, not long after the goal was scored, in the 86th minute of the game, Isco broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a pass. The Spanish defender stretched his legs to try to block it, but accidentally blocked his own door. This is a An own goal!
6-0, this is simply a humiliating battle...
In the end, the referee blew the final whistle and the score was fixed at 6-0. It was a bloody battle. Some of the home fans began to cover their faces and cry. Their performance today was difficult to satisfy the fans!
On the other side, Bai Ran's name was shouted loudly. He was also named the MVP of this game after scoring a hat trick in the first half.
So stunning!
At the same time, this performance worth looking forward to has also been praised by many Spanish media!
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of news in the Spanish football world, all about the divine performance of this new Asian genius!
"Hats off at halftime? The young Chinese player once again wrote a miracle!"
"The new king of Real Madrid - Bai Ran! Real Madrid challenged Espanyol away from home, and the young player Bai Ran won the MVP with three goals in the half!"
"A red card, three goals in half, who else on this planet can stop Bai Ran?"
Even Real Madrid's arch-enemy Barcelona had many players watching Bai Ran's game, including Messi!
He flipped through the news on his mobile phone, clicked on one at random, looked at Bai Ran's collection, and couldn't help feeling frightened...
Do young players of this level really exist? ?
This is too strong!
If this kid plays against Real Madrid next time, the outcome is still uncertain!
At this moment, Bai Ran had finished taking a shower in the bathroom of the locker room. When he returned to the room, he saw that everyone was singing a song of victory collectively, wiped his head and showed a smile.
Real Madrid has now won four consecutive victories, and its momentum is unstoppable!
This is thanks to Zidane's careful guidance and Bai Ran's relatively hot state, which has brought unlimited vitality to Real Madrid.
"MVP! Come here!"
Ramos saw Bai Ran coming out of the shower and quickly invited him to join everyone in singing.
Bai Ran smiled and waved his hand: "You guys can play, I can't sing."
Everyone in Real Madrid looked at Bai Ran with smiles. Can't sing?
How can that be done!
You are the MVP of this game!
It is also the core of Real Madrid's offense in these rounds of league games!
Bai Ran must be in C position!
Ramos stood up and pulled Bai Ran to the center of the locker room. He started first, then hugged Bai Ran and danced to the rhythm. The atmosphere in the entire locker room was extremely joyful.
Bai Ran was very helpless, but he also sang along with them.
It was almost time, and it was time for them to return to Real Madrid. However, at this moment, Bai Ran suddenly received a call.
The caller ID showed it was Mendez calling.
"anything?"
On the other side of the phone, Mendes sounded a little excited.
"Bai Ran, where have you been!"
Bai Ran replied calmly: "I just finished playing the game and am on the bus, on my way back to Real Madrid."
"What's wrong?"
Mendes couldn't wait and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the Real Madrid base. Contact me when you arrive. I have something important to tell you!"
Before Bai Ran could respond, Mendes hung up the phone.
Bai Ran felt a little baffled for a moment. The agent he arranged for him was Alice. If there was anything that Alice couldn't solve, what should Mendes tell him personally?
With questions in mind, Bai Ran followed Real Madrid's bus back to the base.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Mendes waiting at the entrance of the base.
Bai Ran said hello to Mendes and got into his car.
In the car, Bai Ran repeatedly asked Mendes what was going on, but Mendes always smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out later."
Finally, the two drove to a restaurant. Mendes had already reserved a seat, and the two sat at the table and prepared to eat.
Bai Ran sighed and looked at Mendes helplessly, with an impatient expression on his face.
"Can you tell me this time? What's going on?"
Mendes showed a wonderful smile and said: "Just now, the top management of Real Madrid came to me and said that they wanted to renew your contract and offered you a contract."
"Come, take a look!"
With that said, Mendes took out a bunch of documents from his briefcase and threw them to Bai Ran.
Bai Ran was also a little surprised. He had just signed with Real Madrid not long ago, and he was about to renew his contract so soon?
It’s a bit unprepared!
But he estimated that this new contract would definitely increase his salary, which was also a good thing for him, so he opened the contract and took a look.
It didn't matter what he saw, Bai Ran was shocked!
The terms of the contract clearly read - annual salary of 5 million euros!
Five million euros! ?
That’s about more than 400,000 euros per month!
Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, feeling a little numb all over!
For Bai Ran's family, this amount of money is actually nothing. However, looking at the entire football world, the salary of top players is more than this.
There are also many top stars whose salaries start at tens of millions.
But if you compare it vertically, this seems a bit exaggerated!
Bai Ran had just signed with Real Madrid, and the contract they offered was a salary of 1.2 million euros per year without any additional terms.
This means that Bai Ran's salary suddenly increased several times!
What shocked Bai Ran was not the money, but how much Real Madrid recognized him.
He has never played in the European League. Less than a year has passed and he has been recognized to such a large extent by Real Madrid. This is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.
Moreover, never in history have Chinese players, or even Asian players, been able to earn such high wages at Real Madrid.
"The salary is so high!?"
Bai Ran was a little unbelievable, while Mendes smiled slightly.
"Indeed, the terms offered by Real Madrid are very tempting. For a 17-year-old child, there is no resistance at all. I know you are surprised, but this is normal."
"After all, your potential has been fully demonstrated, and Real Madrid is determined to keep you."
"Then look down."
Bai Ran nodded and continued to read the contract.
"Liquidated damages of 100 million!"
Oh my god, the liquidated damages offered by Real Madrid are too high. Who would spend 100 million to buy themselves?
Bai Ran is now more recognized for his abilities. After this period of polishing, his level has reached the middle and upper reaches of La Liga, and in some aspects he can even dominate the entire league.
But at the price of 100 million, he knew that he was not enough. After all, he was a young player with potential, not at the peak of his ability, and there was still a lot of room for growth in the future.
It seems that Real Madrid is determined to keep me!
Bai Ran couldn't help but feel secretly happy. This was a sign that his strength had been recognized.
"Then renew the contract. I think the conditions are quite good. It doesn't matter if the liquidated damages are higher. After all, I have no plans to leave Real Madrid for the time being."
Mendes put his hands in his hands and shook his head.
"Did you miss something?"
"In some very critical places, Real Madrid's top brass are very good at digging holes for players."
Bai Ran was a little confused, and then Mendes took the contract over, opened a certain page, and pointed to Bai Ran.
"Look, the contract period is five years!"
This is already the maximum number of years in a player's contract. Real Madrid wants to sign a five-year long-term contract with Bai Ran!
"I don't recommend you accept this clause."
"Five years is too long. I think the limit you can accept is two years."
Bai Ran nodded, Mendes was indeed right.
After all, according to his current situation, there is no shortage of buyers. As long as he has the opportunity to transfer, wealthy clubs from all over the world will come to negotiate immediately.
Bai Ran had already become popular once during the winter window, but all those teams were rejected by Bai Ran.
And in five years, according to his growth rate, he should have become one of the strongest midfielders in the world. By then, the annual salary of five million will really not be enough.
He has been 22 years old in five years!
Mendes continued: "My suggestion is to reject Real Madrid's contract extension first. You have no shortage of new buyers now, and they will definitely offer you a contract that is more beneficial to you."
"If they don't come up with something convincing, then Xia Chuang can just leave."
A notification sound instantly appeared in Bai Ran's mind.
【Ding! 】
【Task Tips! 】
[Reject Real Madrid’s contract extension! 】
[Reward: Random! 】
Totally random...
Bai Ran thought for a moment and realized that Mendes was right. This task must be accepted. Although there was nothing wrong with the terms, five years was indeed too long.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Alice probably doesn't have much experience in this area. Let's do this. I'll give you an extra commission, and you'll have full authority to handle the contract with Real Madrid. Then just sign the new contract for me."
Mendes waved his hand and said: "If you are here, you are our client. I take a commission from your salary. This is already my reward. How can I care if you ask for more money!"
"Don't worry if you leave this matter to me! There is absolutely no problem. After all, we are on the same front. Your contract is better, and my commission will be more, right?"
Bai Ran chuckled and nodded. He was indeed a shrewd businessman.
A businessman is a person who can discuss anything with him!
Mendes is really good at getting things done. Let him discuss this contract with Real Madrid!
