Chapter 269 Renewing Contract with Ronaldo

It’s no secret that many teams are very interested in Ronaldo, and it’s no secret that they watch Ronaldo live every game. Many teams don’t even pay attention to Ronaldo when he came to Trapani, but from Sporting Lisbon before. The youth academy paid attention to him, but after all, Ronaldo had never played a serious first-team match, so no one dared to make that determination.

Ronaldo played a huge role in Trapani's record this year, and everyone was sure that this is indeed a talented player, and only then did he think of accepting Ronaldo.

There were some inquiries during the winter break, but they were mercilessly rejected by Trapani.

Mendez sniffed out Hugo during the winter break. Hugo’s attitude was very strong. Mendes couldn’t help it. He didn’t want to make the relationship with Hugo stiff. This matter has been dragging on. , Some influential big clubs have contacted him many times, and Mendes has pushed that it will be the end of the season.

After Zeman was suddenly fired, Mendes felt that the time had come. On the one hand, he negotiated with Trapani on the signing of Ronaldo. Ronaldo will be old in February, and he can sign a professional contract with the team. It is no longer a youth contract. On the other hand, he lobbied Ronaldo again.

What he said to Hugo is also true. Some clubs are interested in Ronaldo. Mendes is selective in what he wants to tell Ronaldo. For example, Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, Milan, etc., these are giants.

As Sely said, so many years of dedication are not without rewards, and Ronaldo is not hard-hearted. Their family used to be in a state of extreme poverty. It was Hugo who fell in love with him and gave him a high salary when he was young. , let his family live a prosperous life, not only he but also his family are very grateful to Hugo, this season Hugo even invited Ronaldo's family to Trapani many times as guests to watch the game.

Ronaldo knew about these interests during the winter break. He simply didn’t want to leave. He told Mendes that he hoped to stay here with peace of mind. There are coaches who trust him and people who have paid a lot for his family. Boss, he can grow up here, why did he choose to sit on the bench for some giants, maybe he went to a game where he couldn't play in the first team at all!
In mid-May, Ronaldo and Trapani signed a professional contract. The contract period is 5 years, and the annual salary after tax is 5 euros. After the upgrade, the salary will increase by 50% every year. When all kinds of bonuses are loaded together, Ronaldo's annual salary will be close to 20.00. 100 euros, Mendes received an intermediary fee, which was offered to him by Hugo, not asked for by Mendes. He hoped that Mendes would be clear about what he wanted, but it would be impossible if he didn’t take the money.

Mendes mentioned the liquidated damages clause in this negotiation. There was a liquidated damages clause in the youth contract before, and the amount was huge. This time Mendes hopes to continue to have such a clause to facilitate other teams to act.

But Giorgio and Salley, who presided over the negotiations, disagreed. They did not want this clause to exist. What they meant was what Hugo meant. Mendes linked this clause with the contract period, or the contract period years, or liquidated damages.

He was very bold.

"Mr. Mendes, I know that there are many teams interested in Cristiano! I know you are trying to move Cristiano away, but the basis of all this is not to harm Trapani's interests, you want liquidated damages Is the clause to make it easier for everyone to tear up their faces in the future?!" Sely asked Mendes bluntly at the negotiating table.

Mendes was quite passive, and Salley yelled again: "Don't patronize your own and Cristiano's interests, do you think Trapani is a small team?! Is it possible for you to make decisions for the team? ?! Don’t forget what the Colleni family does?! Trapani has always operated fairly and justly, but sometimes it’s a joke to be threatened by someone like you!”

Mendes was terrified. Sely's words concealed a threat. It was related to Hugo's background. What does it mean to be rich and powerful? Besides, Sely also revealed a message that Ronaldo can leave, but everything depends on Trapani's interests. Only when their interests are satisfied can they leave, otherwise there is no way to talk about it.

The terms of the extension were fair, but Mendes agreed almost out of options.

After signing the contract, Sely said to Mendes with a smile in private: "Jorge, we are all friends, there is no need to blush for such a thing, you are not good to everyone, right?! My personal opinion is In this way, of course we want to stay for Cristiano, but I don’t think we should block his future, everyone has their own ideas, right?!”

Mendes relaxed, which is a clearer signal.

Sely is completely self-assessed. He thinks that selling Ronaldo is not a bad thing. It can bring a lot of things to the team. There is nothing terrible about it. Serie A is different from Serie B. Ronaldo can thrive in Serie B It may not be able to flourish in Serie A. If they can make a lot of money, the team can use the money to introduce some experienced players. It will be a good thing for the team to gain a foothold in Serie A. Why not.

Hugo didn't know this, he was always in a tangle, he was just reluctant, really reluctant, but as he thought before, Ronaldo really wanted to leave, he couldn't let him go.

After the contract was signed, Mendes and Ronaldo had a detailed discussion. Ronaldo was very satisfied with the contract. There are not many teams as generous as Trapani. This is what Mendes said, and Ronaldo also knows Trapani. How much Penny valued him.

However, the current environment has changed. Zeman has left. Under Lombardo and Barrias, Ronaldo is still in excellent form. Will Lombardo and Barrias be the head coach next season? It's hard to say, the media doesn't believe they will continue to stay.

"Cristiano, Trapani must be very sincere to keep you. I agree with this. The salary they give is also very generous. There is no doubt about it. If you want to make money, no problem, you You can get everything here, Gigi may be the most generous boss I have ever seen, as long as he appreciates you, you will definitely be able to get a contract that satisfies you!"

"But you really have to think about it, don't you play football all for money?! Do you remember that your dream is to be the best player in the world?!"

"Of course I remember!" The young Ronaldo stood up and said, playing football when he was a child, but never thought that playing football would solve the problem of eating.

"Since we have this dream, then we should be realistic and walk on the right path. Is it right for you to stay in Trapani now?! Not right, you don't know their situation as well as I do, Gigi is rich, But their policy is to grow slowly, not overnight. It is foreseeable that in the next few years they will never be able to get their hands on the championship, and you will not get any honor here! Working with a group of average players for a long time will not make you improve. You can't get any honors, you need to go to a team with stronger overall strength!" Mendes once again expressed his point of view, this is not the first time he said this in front of Ronaldo.

"Italian football puts too much emphasis on tactics. It is your luck to meet Mr. Zeman, but now that he has left, Trapani must choose a new coach. According to their current situation, they will be relegated to Serie A in the new season. It is the first priority. The new coach is very likely to be the old fritters of Serie A. The old fritters are definitely not a coach who focuses on offense like Zeman. This is definitely not good for your growth! Before Zeman was here, you didn’t have to choose to leave, but now Zeman Man is gone, you really need to think about the future!"

Mendes continued to persuade Ronaldo. Ronaldo knew that Mendes was really thinking about him. If Mendes needed money, he could tell Hugo directly that Hugo could give him a sum of money, but Mendes I hope that Ronaldo can have a great future and play his signature.

The words are sincere and the reasons are sufficient, especially the departure of Zeman made Ronaldo unhappy for a while. Now that Mendes is talking about this matter, I have to say that it really hit the pain in Ronaldo's heart. I don't want Zeman to leave either.

Mendez left Trapani, and Hugo was on a business trip, so he couldn't meet him. To be honest, he really didn't want to meet Hugo, and Hugo's angry appearance was a bit scary.

After entering May, Trapani's performance has declined and they defeated Genoa, but they failed to win in the next three games. The points are the same as Sampdoria, because the goal difference is at the top of the list , and then the time entered June, Trapani had two games, one against Siena and one against Lecce, one away and one at home.

On June 6st, Trapani played an away game against Siena. Tony has returned from injury and started this game. Siena ranked third before the game, and the gap with Trapani was 1 points. They won the game and they will not threaten Trapani's status, but behind Siena there are Ancona and Triestina, not far from Siena, the top four can only be promoted, and Siena has to win at home. Going down to Trapani. In view of the bad situation in Trapani in the last three games, many media believe that Siena will definitely be able to take all three points, but everyone may have overlooked the power of Tony and has not appeared for a long time. Tony played bravely in the game, kicking his head and kicking his head, and finally helped Trapani beat Siena 6:5.

Another Sampdoria game held at the same time was tied 1:1 by Trapani's little brother Messina, and Trapani was able to win the championship.
