Location: Belvoir Base, Leicester.

Jon Rudkin, the club's sports director, who was working in the office, noticed a reminder from his mailbox that there was a new email.

When he curiously opened his mailbox, he discovered that the sender of the mail was actually Arsenal Club!
The content of the email is very simple:
Arsenal hope to trigger the liquidated damages clause in Ling Feng's contract and bring Ling Feng to Arsenal at a price of 100 million pounds!
Ling Feng?

Liquidated damages?
100? !
After reading the contents of the email, Rudkin's expression became very serious.

As the club's sports director, he certainly knows about Ling Feng, a young talent discovered by his youth training.

His own club's recent record is shining, and a lot of credit should be attributed to this young boy.

Because of this, he instantly realized the seriousness of this email!
He immediately reached out to the landline phone on the table, and told the secretary:

"Anna, help me find the paper version of the contract signed between Ling Feng and the club!"

"Send it to my office immediately!"

After instructing the secretary, he immediately pressed the shortcut key and called the team's head coach's office:
"Hello, Jon?"

"Nigel, I have something very important to tell you, please come to the office immediately!"

Just minutes later, team coach Nigel Pearson pushed the door in.

"What happened?"

"A club has made an offer for our players!"

As soon as these words came out, Pearson was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, and asked back:
"Someone bid Lingling?"

Rudkin nodded,
"That's right!"

"We could never agree to that! He is the present and future of our club!! No matter the price, we would never."

"Calm down!"

Raising his hand to interrupt the excited Pearson, Rude opened his hands, pressed them down, and then comforted:

"Nigel, don't worry, you and I have the same idea. The club doesn't intend to sell Ling Feng."

"But now it's not a question of whether we want to sell, but the other party wants to trigger the liquidated damages clause in Ling Feng's contract and take him away directly!"

Young players in many clubs will add a certain amount of liquidated damages when they sign their first professional contract.

Some famous players will also have liquidated damages clauses.

The liquidated damages clause can greatly facilitate players who plan to move to a larger club without being unable to transfer because the club refuses to release them.

"Liquidated damages? How much is his liquidated damages?"

Hearing this, Rudkin raised a finger helplessly.

"Only 1000?!"

"You think beautifully, 100 million!"

"100?!!"

Pearson was shocked by this outrageously low number, and his subconscious voice even became a lot sharper.

"That's right, the contract is here, you can read it yourself."

Pearson, who couldn't believe it, had to accept this cruel fact after repeatedly reading the paper contract signed by Ling Feng and the club.

Only then did Pearson realize that both he and the club had forgotten a very important thing.

That's when Ling Feng performed amazingly, they forgot to renew Ling Feng's contract! ! !

No matter how much regret he felt in his heart, at this moment, he had no time to investigate whose responsibility it was.

Their top priority is how to deal with this matter.

For Leicester City, Ling Feng is a player from their youth training and the team's most promising and valuable player.

Once he loses him, the club will inevitably encounter strong opposition from fans!
Especially being bought by other clubs for such a low price of 100 million pounds.

Rudkin can even foresee fans gathering outside the club to protest or flooding the official website with abuse.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Leicester City Club, they have to let Ling Feng stay no matter what!

Thinking of this, Rudkin frowned deeply, and looked at the team's head coach:

"Nigel, do you think we have a chance to convince Ling Feng to stay?"

In fact, they still have a chance to keep Ling Feng.

That is to renew the contract with Ling Feng and sign a new contract!
Although Arsenal intends to trigger the liquidated damages in the contract, they can directly bypass the club and negotiate directly with the players.

However, whether the liquidated damages are high or low, the premise is that the players agree to the transfer.

As long as the players do not agree to the transfer, this transfer cannot be established!
Now, it is no longer a question of money, but whether the players want it or not.

Hearing this, Pearson wanted to say "yes"

However, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't utter them.

After all, the one who quoted the price was the Premier League giants, Arsenal, the favorite of young fairies!

"Professor" Wenger is simply the coveted mentor and talent for young players.

Pearson changed his mind and felt that if he were Ling Feng, he would also choose Arsenal, which can play in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Although I feel very pessimistic.

However, he still pulled himself together and answered Rudkin's question in a deep voice:

"The opponent is Arsenal, so the chances are slim. But we have to give it a try!"

. . .

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Leicester.

Ling Feng, who was enjoying a rare holiday at home, received a call from Mahrez.

"Riyadh?"

"Are you at home? I'm at a coffee shop near your home. I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee and introduce you to a friend."

Faced with Mahrez's sudden invitation, Ling Feng agreed without thinking too much.

However, what Ling Feng didn't expect was that besides Mahrez, there was a middle-aged man in a black suit who looked very capable, waiting for him in the coffee shop.

"Riyad, who is this?"

Before Mahrez introduced him, the man stood up and extended his right hand to Ling Feng.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ling."

Ling Feng was a little confused, but he still reached out and shook it.

"Nice meeting, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jorge Mendes, a football agent. Here is my business card."

After saying that, Mendes took out a black card with obvious material from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it over.

Hearing the other party's name, Ling Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Mendez, I know you."

After all, he turned his head to look at Mahrez, the middleman, and said with a smile:

"Riyad, your friend is a big shot."

And Mahrez just smiled, and then explained: "You told me that you don't have an agent, so..."

Although it is not clear why Mendes and Mahrez would know each other.

However, as a big broker in the football world, Mendes naturally has his own connections and relationships.

When Ling Feng sat down, Mendes was the first to express his apology:

"Ling, I'm sorry to get to know you in this way, and to bother you on your vacation days"

"It's okay, you came to me because you wanted to be my manager?"

Faced with Ling Feng's straightforward statement, Mendes was slightly startled, then nodded and admitted.

"That's right. But before that, I personally want to ask you some questions, okay?"

"Please say."

In the next second, Mendes straightened the collar of his suit, then leaned forward slightly and looked at Ling Feng with bright eyes.

Immediately afterwards, this super agent in the football world, like a salesperson selling health care products and a sage who promotes faith, described a bright future to Ling Feng:
"Do you want to play on a higher stage?"

"Do you want to play in the Champions League?"

"Do you want to make more money?"

"Do you want to own your own private jet, luxury cars and mansion?"

"Do you want your parents to live a prosperous life?"

"As long as you let me be your agent, I will help you realize all of this!"
