fat man who can't play football

Chapter 77
After finishing the list of player introductions, the fat man called old Porter, a scout, to come to his office.

Fatty asked old Porter to help him go to Italy, mainly to find out two things: one is to find out whether Zi Beibei and Green Beibei are willing to transfer to Leeds through the local contacts, and the other is to ask Mr. Tony Is your contract about to expire soon? If so, let's find out what Teacher Tony has to say.

The old Potter agreed with all his heart, as if he had picked up a big deal with that frankness.

The fat man secretly slandered: "Could it be that my fat brother has been tricked? Is old Potter just planning to go to Italy for vacation? Now it's all a public trip?"

The fat man looked at old Potter suspiciously, but Potter didn't give him a chance to figure it out carefully, and left the fat man's office like flying.

The fat man had no choice but to take the crumpled signings list and came to Salerno's office.

When the supervisor saw the fat man walking in, his expression changed several times, which made the fat man even more bewildered.

What's going on today?Each one is mysterious.

The fat man was about to say something, but Director Salerno spoke first: "Steve, you came just in time. There is something I wanted to tell you. Uh..."

"Just now..., Tottenham Hotspur officially made an offer for one of our players, and the other party made an offer that was hard to refuse."

"who is it?"

"Well... Dele Ali."

The fat man was full of shock, was this the inertia of the wheel of history?Tottenham are still ready to take a shot against Ali.

It's just that Ali can't take 500 million pounds away now. In the past season, Ali scored [-] goals for Leeds in the league!
This is a very good result for a midfielder.Now Dele is already a new football star who has been coveted by many clubs.

"What kind of offer did Tottenham make?"

"The basic transfer fee is 2000 million pounds plus certain incentives."

"Oh, that's a great offer! I'll have to think again, Director, though."

Fatty's cell phone rang, and it was a call from an unknown number.

The fat man still picked it up, "Hello, who are you?"

"Coach Steve, I should have visited you earlier. I'm Ali's agent—Ropa Siegel."

Fatty immediately knew who this person was. Rob Segal (Rob Segal) is a well-known agent of Impact Sports Management, and Ali started working with him when he was 15 years old.

In the previous life, because Ali held a child labor contract in Tottenham for a long time, he gradually became dissatisfied with Siegel, and the two eventually parted ways.

But the current Ali is still full of trust in Siegel.

"Uh, Mr. Siegel. What do you want from me?"

"Coach Steve, I am very grateful for your training and care for Ali this year. But now Ali has received an invitation from a top club, and the opponent is a team that can participate in the European competition next season. Uh..., For the long-term development of the players, we are ready to submit a transfer application to the club."

Fatty was very upset, and he was about to file a transfer application, and it was obvious that he had contacted privately to make a deal.

Although FIFA regulations explicitly prohibit clubs from privately contacting players with contracts, this regulation has long been empty text under many black-box operations.

At this point, the fat man was helpless.After all, no matter how much Tottenham picks, the annual salary for players is not what Leeds United can match now. You must know that Leeds' current maximum salary is only Belotti's 18500 pounds per week.

It is very likely that Tottenham’s contract with Dele Alli will cost as much as [-] to [-] pounds last week, and Leeds will not be able to pay this price. This summer, the fat man will have to negotiate with many young people in the team to renew the contract. The fat man does not want the team The locker room exploded.

But this incident also reminded Fatty that he must hurry up to renew his contract with the young man.

Thinking of this, the fat man did not forget to respond to Siegel on the phone: "Mr. Siegel, the club will consider your request and give you an answer later."

"Okay, Coach. I'll wait for your news."

The fat man hung up the phone irritably.

"Director, the contract renewal negotiations for the young people in the team must be urgent. I don't want to return to the training camp with all my players running away."

"Okay, Steve."

"I agree with Ali's transfer in principle, but I hope that the director will delay it a little longer to see if Tottenham will increase the offer."

"okay."

Fatty suddenly thought that Tottenham's chairman, Levy, was in charge of the transfer negotiations. It was really hard work, and the other party might not give any more money.

"Director, here is a list of player introductions I have drawn up. I have already sent old Porter to inquire about the news first, please make a formal offer to these people when the time comes."

After Salerno took the list, he looked at it carefully.

Fatty didn't stay any longer, got up and went back to his office.

In the next few days, good news came one after another. Cook and Farrell, who had only one year left on their contracts, both renewed their contracts with the team for three years.Cook's weekly salary of £600 has risen to £6000, and Farrell's apprenticeship contract of £80/week directly refers to the weekly salary of £600.

Even the negotiations for Byram's contract renewal, which Fatty thought would be bumpy, were completed smoothly.

You must know that in the previous life, due to Leeds' poor record for years, Byram finally refused to renew his contract with the team. In January 16, he transferred to West Ham United at a super low price of 1 million pounds, which caused an uproar in the public opinion.

Here, Byram signed a new three-year contract with Leeds, and his weekly salary rose from 5000 pounds to 6000 pounds, which was the same as Cook.

In addition, Cooper, Taylor and Mowat, whose contracts expire in two years, have all completed early renewals with the team. The contract period has been extended to 4 years, and their weekly salaries have all increased to varying degrees.

But the team's negotiations with Luke Murphy did not go smoothly, because Murphy's weekly salary has reached 14000 pounds and he did not play many games in the past season. The two sides have a big difference in the amount of the new contract.

Because Murphy's contract has only the last year left, Fatty is going to wait and see for a while, if there is really no agreement, he can only sell it at a low price and stop the loss in time.

After entering June 15, Old Porter sent back news from Italy.

Through his asking around, Mr. Tony's contract did expire this summer, and he himself is willing to go to the Premier League to see, but the annual salary is slightly more than what he got in Verona.

Now Mr. Tony's annual salary in Verona is about 20000 pounds per week. It is not easy for Leeds to reach this level, but the fat man still intends to hold his nose and admit it. After all, there are not many powerful centers and mentors like Mr. Tony. have to.

Zi Beibei is also very interested in Leeds' invitation, but Florence is unclear about his asking price, and needs to make a formal offer to test it out.

But it's not all good news. Green Beibei doesn't like Leeds.He just scored double figures in goals and assists in Serie A last season. The player himself wants to stay in Sassuolo to continue to improve and playing in Italy can increase his chances of being selected for the national team.
