From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 139 Special Training and Contract Renewal Negotiations

Guidolin's words made Bruno unable to refuse, so he could only agree.

So, when other Udinese players left the team one after another, either going to their respective national teams to prepare for the World Cup in Brazil, or starting a leisurely vacation, Bruno started a [-]-year training camp in the quiet Udinese training base. Days of special training.

In fact, Bruno is not opposed to special training. After all, he spends too much time dealing with this matter.Since traveling to this time and space, the various trainings of the training master system have not stopped, even when he is sleeping.

However, in the past, such special training was hosted by the training master system, but now it was carried out by people, which just allowed him to experience the difference between the system and the training made by people.

This summer, even if he returns home to Portugal, he will definitely not be able to avoid receiving special training arranged by the training master system.Bruno was mentally prepared for this.

After all, the goal of the training master system is to train him to become the strongest player in history.

Now, although he is already very strong, he is still far away from his goal, so the training plan will not stop.

………………

When Bruno began to receive special training from the Udinese coaching staff, all major European leagues were coming to an end, all championships were settled, and some major clubs were happy and some were sad.

The world-famous Champions League finally came to Real Madrid. They defeated their city rivals Atletico Madrid in a La Liga civil war.

Florentino finally realized his dream of ten crowns through Ancelotti, for which he had waited for 12 years.Atletico Madrid is more miserable. They have reached the finals twice and were losers both times.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo scored a crazy 11 goals in 17 Champions League games, he is still considered to be lying on the championship, because he only scored one goal in the final, and it was an insignificant goal in overtime, and Still a penalty kick.

The Premier League that Bruno pays more attention to is no different from what he remembers.

The first Premier League title in the post-Ferguson era was snatched away by city rivals Manchester City.Ferguson's fellow Scotsman failed to last even one season after taking charge of Old Trafford.

As for Manchester United, it has ushered in the darkest moment of the Premier League era, ending this chaotic season in No. 7, scoring only 38 points in 64 league games, and did not even qualify for the Europa League.

Then, the referee's federation's statement spread around the world.

Look, the old man retreated, and without the referee to take care of him, Manchester United's true colors were revealed.

After intense training every day, Bruno quietly wandered around the Internet, looking at these strange and strange words, with a knowing smile on his face.

Sure enough, it still tastes the same!
………………

While Bruno is undergoing special training and occasionally taking a break to wander around the online world, his agent Mendes is not idle either and is helping him negotiate a difficult contract extension with the club.

Regarding every progress in the contract renewal negotiations, Mendes will keep in touch with Bruno and tell Bruno on the phone or via email, so Bruno knows why this contract renewal negotiation is so difficult.

It's simple, because Mendes is a tough and principled agent.

In fact, the contract renewal negotiation was initially initiated by the Udinese club.

The season had just ended, and Udinese had achieved unprecedented success, ending the season with an unprecedented double.

Under such circumstances, the team naturally wanted to reward the meritorious officials, so they took the initiative to express their hope to Bruno to re-sign a contract with him.

Although the first contract signed by Bruno and Udinese lasted for five years, a liquidated damages clause was added to it, and the liquidated damages were only set at 4000 million euros.

Perhaps, to Bruno at the time, this liquidated damages figure still seemed very high, but who would have thought that after just one season, Bruno's worth would have soared to 4000 million euros?
Of course, this number was what Mendes insisted on when signing the contract after consulting Bruno, otherwise Udinese would not mind setting it higher.

In order to set a liquidated damages of 4000 million euros, Bruno and Mendes even accepted the maximum number of contract years set to 5 years.

………………

Under today's circumstances, Bruno's liquidated damages of 4000 million euros seem a bit like a joke.

If this news is exposed, Udinese's transfer door will definitely be lowered.

4000 million euros can take away a super genius who has contributed "double 30+" in a single season. Is there such a good thing?
For the declining Italian teams, 4000 million euros may still be an astronomical amount, but for those leagues that are not short of money, there are definitely many clubs that can easily spend 4000 million euros.

Such as the Premier League!

On May 5, British media reported that the Premier League teams had just received dividends from the league on the broadcast fees for the 28-2013 season. Liverpool received the highest amount, reaching 2014 million pounds, and Cardiff City, the least, received 9754 million pounds.According to the current exchange rate of 6208 pounds to euros, this means 1.23 million euros, and Cardiff City can get 1.2 million euros!
In the entire Premier League, there are 1 teams with dividends exceeding 7 million, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and Everton. The eighth-ranked Newcastle can get 9500 million euros!
It can be said that as long as you think about it, any of the 20 Premier League teams can come up with this transfer fee.

Not to mention that there are also some clubs in other leagues who are not short of money.For example, the top three teams in the Spanish Super League, the Bundesliga Süd, and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue [-].

Take Italian football as an example, teams such as Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan can also grit their teeth and come up with the transfer fee to take Bruno away.

In order to avoid such a situation, the club notified Bruno and Mendes as soon as the season ended, hoping to start contract renewal negotiations.

………………

In fact, as early as March, Udinese expressed the hope of renewing the contract, but Mendes rejected it.

When he found Bruno, he also focused on playing football and postponed the contract extension until the end of the season.

Now, at the end of the season, the Udinese club has found Bruno again and hopes to start negotiations for a new contract with him.

At this time, Bruno and Mendes both believed that the time had come to negotiate with Udinese, so Mendes began negotiations with the Udinese club.

The negotiations went very smoothly at the beginning, just like what Mendes said to Bruno at the beginning. When the liquidated damages set became a joke, Udinese wanted to prevent Bruno from being poached at a "cheap price" , will definitely be willing to spend money.

But over the liquidated damages clause, the two sides fell into a stalemate for the first time.

Mendes believes that the 2000 million euros in liquidated damages set by Udinese Club for Bruno is too high, and hopes that it can be reduced to less than 8000 million euros, preferably halved to 6000 million euros.

But it is absolutely impossible for Udinese to agree to this, because they have already been fooled on this issue once, and naturally they will not fall into the same pit twice.

In the first season after joining Udinese, Bruno's value doubled. This was when Udinese only played in Serie A and the Europa League, which attracted little attention.

Udinese will play in the Champions League next season. The attention of this competition, which is known as the highest level in world football, is completely incomparable to Serie A and the Europa League.

With Bruno's strength, there is a high probability that he will shine in the Champions League. His value will definitely rise, and he will definitely be paid attention to by more and more wealthy clubs.

If Bruno's liquidated damages are really set at 6000 million euros, maybe this summer there will be a wealthy club that is not short of money and will directly pay to take Bruno away!
………………

The two parties have been at odds for a long time over the specific amount of the liquidated damages clause.

And when the liquidated damages clause was wrangling, Mendes did not leave Udinese idle and dropped the bombshell of image rights.

He did not want to give the image rights to the club, but wanted to keep Bruno in his own hands.

If Udinese wants to use Bruno's image rights, yes, just pay them. The two parties will negotiate a suitable price or share ratio, as well as the scope of use. Once everything has been negotiated, it will be written in the contract, and that's it. .

But Udinese didn't want to do that.They hope to let the players transfer all their image rights to the club, so that when Bruno's image rights become profitable in the future, the club can sit back and count the money. After all, the player's image rights are also considered part of the club's income.

After his outstanding performance last season, Bruno has become the de facto number one star of Udinese. In the future, Bruno can also be allowed to take part in the club's commercial activities.

A wealthy club like Real Madrid must control the image rights of its players. Any player who joins Real Madrid must give away their image rights, so that the club can earn a lot of profits in the commercial market.

For Udinese, whose financial situation is not very good, a super genius like Bruno is simply a cash cow.

But Mendes does not want to give this money to the club. The image rights are in the hands of the players themselves, so Mendes has more incentive to get more endorsement contracts for Bruno.

After all, he can take a commission from it. The more contracts Bruno wins, the more money he makes, and the more money he gets in the end.

Besides, the image rights belong to the players themselves, which is also a good thing for the players themselves.Nowadays, many stars may not earn as much money in clubs as they do in business operations.

But the Udinese club cannot accept Mendes' conditions. If Bruno's image rights are not in the hands of the club, the club will have to pay more if it wants Bruno to cooperate with the club's business activities.

For the financially troubled Udinese club, this money can be saved.

So the two sides have been arguing like this for a long time. You must know that the World Cup is about to start and these two issues have not been resolved yet.
