Today’s information

General manager Daniel Campos also thought David would leave Tottenham when he heard the news and confirmed the authenticity of the news.

It was because Ryan Gate had spoken to the club several times about David’s transfer.

“It’s surprising. I heard that he had broken up with Ryan Gate and signed a new agent, but he didn’t know he would set up a negotiating table with us so quickly.”

Jaejin lightly responded to Daniel Campos’s light attack.

“If you believe every article of the level of Chirashi, won’t there be too many things to believe in the world?”

“haha. right. Because rumors are always there. By asking to meet, you can think of David as thinking of signing a new contract with Tottenham, right?”

Daniel Campos smiled coolly at Jaejin’s response.

“Sure. Don’t many people renew their contracts with one year left before the end of the contract? So I contacted him to renew his contract according to my player’s will.”

But Daniel Campos just nodded with a relaxed expression.

“It is definitely time to renew the contract.”

However, Daniel’s gesture was a gesture that wanted to hear something.

‘It’s a negotiation that you have to lose.’

The advantage of the situation was clearly Spurs.

David’s weekly salary now is around 180,000 pounds (275 million won), which is one of the top 3 on the team.

Public opinion was favorable, and at the same time, there was no reason to use David for a high weekly salary.

‘Even though Daniel Gardner used to talk about the need for a veteran.’

“Can you hear the terms Tottenham have in mind first?”

At Jaejin’s words, Daniel Campos opened his mouth as if he had waited.

“The contract period is one year. Basic salary of £90,000 per week. Partial reduction in weekly wages for participation in games below a certain level. We also need to look at the options we have now.”

When Daniel said he was 100% not thinking about negotiating, the amount that was reduced by 50% from his previous weekly salary.

Daniel, who talked about the conditions of the club, wondered how Jaejin would react.

It was definitely a decrease from before, but this was the value of the 38-year-old winger David Tennant at Tottenham.

And even if he left some room for detailed negotiations, he had no intention of signing a contract that deviated from the big picture.

‘I’m glad I talked to David in advance, though.’

“There are only two things that matter to me. Extending active duty until the age of 40. And jumping on the same field with his son in it.”

“So, does that mean that weekly pay doesn’t really matter?”

“right. To be honest, I don’t think Tottenham would give 180,000 pounds to a 38-year-old aging player who can’t even serve a single person.”

Tottenham Hotspur has always been like that, but compared to other clubs, it was a team that moved with a fairly systematic weekly wage system.

“Then what is the marginal line that David thinks he can reduce his salary to?”

“Well. when thinking objectively. About £60,000?”

Jaejin was able to get a glimpse of the direction of the negotiations when he said that even a third of the existing level was irrelevant.

“You mean 60,000 pounds?”

“Huh. The two things I mentioned earlier are more important than the weekly pay.”

“I know. We do our best to get David to sign in the direction he wants.”

Jaejin was thinking of ending the contract quickly.

It was also for David’s mental recovery, and he did not know what other tricks Lion Gate would make after losing David.

‘The best thing is to shake the board out of your mind.’

“Do you need time to talk to David?”

Jaejin shook his head at Daniel Campos’s question.

“I admit that David’s value as a wing is what Tottenham sees.”

“Yeah?”

Jaejin took out the prepared material and held it.

“How about as a central midfielder and not as a winger?”


Jaejin uploaded a video of David’s training as a central midfielder and an edited video of David playing as a central midfielder for a nearby amateur team.

“Central midfielder?”

Daniel Campos recalled the news of a surprise visit to David’s amateur team that had been on the news recently.

“Maybe because of this?”

“Yeah. did you say It is said that if you believe every single article of the chirashi level, there are too many things to believe in the world.”

Daniel looked at the video carefully.

As he was a former player and general manager, he was able to fully understand the value of Jaejin’s data.

“There was a time when Ryan Giggs also switched from a winger to a central midfielder under Alex Ferguson.”

If David could change his position as central midfielder and show performance, it would be a different story.

“David has a lot of experience and a lot of skill. That’s why Gardner also frequently used David as a central midfielder last season.”

“What level of performance can you show? And even if he shows good form as a central midfielder, the pay he has now is not possible.”

“The standard is the skill that Daniel Gardner can hire enough for. naturally. Maybe I need some time to talk to Bishop Gardner?”

“What do you think of David?”

Seeing the interest in general manager Daniel Campos, Jaejin smiled as if not to worry.

“As a central midfielder, I want a £100,000 weekly salary and a two-year contract.”

“Well. The weekly wage and the two-year contract are something to think about. Of course, that’s not the end, is it?”

“Absolutely. It would be nice to add an option as the weekly wage has been reduced compared to before.”

“If it’s less than 100,000 pounds, I admit it. If it’s an option depending on the performance.”

“And there are the two most important conditions.”

And when he thought that his interests were aligned to a certain extent, Jaejin brought up the subject.

“The reason he offered a two-year contract and cut his weekly pay is because of David’s will to play until he’s 40.”

Jaejin paused for a moment and met the eyes of general manager Daniel Campos.

“And the reason David wants to play until he is 40 is David’s son. He wants to play the same Tottenham Hotspur Stadium field as Oliver Tennant.”

Hearing Jaejin’s words, Daniel Campos nodded his head as if he had no idea.

“And when I decided to retire after the contract was over, I wanted a retirement ceremony because I was dedicated to only one team called Tottenham. If these two conditions are accepted by Tottenham, it will not matter if I get a salary of £90,000 a week.”

‘Even if David thinks so, it’s the agent’s job to do more than that. Why did he have to sign an agent contract?’



The three conditions David told Jaejin.

60,000 pounds a week and retirement. And stepping on the same field as Oliver was enough for a player to sign a contract with the club even without an agent.

After Jaejin finished speaking, Daniel Campos remained silent, thinking about the current situation between David and Tottenham.

“Well. I need some time to think. Would it be okay if we could continue the negotiations in thirty minutes or so?”

“I am willing.”

At Daniel Campos’s answer, Jaejin smiled and expressed affirmation.

‘I heard that manager Daniel Gardner has all the rights for the players. That’s why he’s trying to talk to the director about David’s need and the current situation and get him confirmed.’

Perhaps he said that he needed a break because he saw the situation positively and thought that was the reason he wanted to talk to manager Daniel Gardner.

And before 30 minutes had passed, Daniel Campos came in with a bright face and sat down.

“David’s thoughts are well understood. We also think positively. Weekly pay and retirement. And we make it clear in the contract that he plays on the same field with Oliver.”

[David. Could you come to the club office?]

As soon as Daniel Campos gave a positive reply, Jaejin sent a text message to David through the system.

After hearing the manager’s story, manager Daniel Gardner unconditionally shouted yes.

It was calculated that if David plays an active role as a central midfielder in the midfield line, he will lead young players and increase stability.

And Campos also saw this situation positively.

The contract contained a story.

And while this story is beneficial to David, it was thought that it would be sufficient to increase the value of the Tottenham club’s brand.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Then, shall we write a contract? When is the best time to sign a contract? Now that the contract has been renewed, isn’t it necessary to put the situation to rest?”

“right. You really need to put the situation to rest. If it’s all right for Tottenham, how about completing everything from signing the contract to signing today?”

At Jaejin’s suggestion, Campos asked, seemingly surprised.

“David… .”

“You will be coming here now.”

“haha. You really have no gaps. It feels good that David signed a really good agent. So, let’s discuss the details before signing the contract, shall we?”

As an agreement was reached in a broad framework, an option clause was added to the satisfaction of both sides, and when David arrived, the draft contract had already been drawn up.

“Five. Oh my gosh. Is this real?”

“Yeah. I tried to reflect as much as possible what David said.”

David saw the contract and immediately signed it as if he had nothing to worry about, as it contained better contract terms than he thought, a two-year contract that was absolutely necessary, and a provision to play with Oliver.

“Thank you so much!”

“Thank you. As a player, this is normal.”

David hugged Jae-jin tightly as if excited, and Jae-jin lightly patted David’s back.

“It’s a cliche, but it’s just the beginning. He’s not a winger, he’s a central midfielder.”

David’s expression, looking for peace of mind after renewing the contract, became brighter.

And a club official filmed the signing of the contract, and within an hour, the news of David’s contract renewal was announced through the club’s website.

[David Tennant renewed his contract with Tottenham for two years. He announced that he would retire from Tottenham after this contract.][David Tennant changed position to central midfielder. He raves that he will see a new side of David Gardner.][David’s Asian agent turned out to be a special instructor for turning into a central midfielder.]

– I believed it! This is Tottenham legend!

– All the kids who cursed at Asia are out!

– Oh my gosh. it’s been two years An old winger!

– Are you dyslexic? You turned into a central midfielder.

– The director is also looking forward to it. If I don’t have the skills, can I use it?

– But if that’s the case, then all that Lion Gate said is a lie, right?

– The Asian agent was actually a special instructor.

– Then why did you terminate your contract with Lion Gate?

-But he said he sent me to stay well after the contract was recently terminated.

– You think there’s something? What?

And at the same time, Ryan Gate, who recently terminated his contract with David, also got a little attention.

But Lion Gate remained silent, repeating only the words, “I wish David well.”

‘Is this enough for a straight punch?’

Jaejin closed the news window with a refreshed expression.

The deal was finalized and the media poured in friendly articles, but not everything worked out.

Then, a player with his brown hair neatly combed came into the office with a knock.

“welcome. Oliver Tennant.”

“Ah. Good morning. Agent Song Jae-jin, right?”

“Yeah. Yes.”

Oliver looked around awkwardly and sat down on the chair opposite Jaejin.

“You have something to say.”

“Yeah. Well. As my father’s agent, I think you should know.”

Jaejin waited without urging Oliver to speak.

“Recently, my father has been so shaken up. Probably because of me.”

“Yeah? Because of Oliver?”

I thought there must be a reason, but at the sudden story of Oliver, Jaejin asked, astonished.

“Well. It was probably about four years ago.”

Jaejin looked back at the reports and videos he had received recently to find out David’s problem.

“There was a time when my dad made a big mistake in a Champions League match against Arsenal and was eliminated from the Champions League stage.”

“Ah.”

Jaejin then remembered the game Oliver was talking about.

Champions League quarter-final match against Arsenal.

With a 1-0 win in the first lane, Tottenham are likely to advance to the quarterfinals.

David, who played on the wing in the second leg, allowed several attacks on Arsenal’s relentless flank attacks, conceding goals in those attacks, and the team lost 2-0. It was a game that failed to advance to the quarterfinals.

“Honestly, if I was a normal father, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it. I thought it was one of many matches. But after losing the match against Arsenal that day, I had a problem.”

Oliver said that after the match against Arsenal, Oliver was threatened by a polar hooligan on his way home from his usual youth game.

He said it was your father’s fault, David, that lost the Champions League North London derby.

“crazy.”

There was only a brief article on the news that the hooligan who threatened the player’s family was arrested after the game loss, so I didn’t know it was David’s news, so I couldn’t find it because I was trying to find the element about mentality elsewhere.

“Since the rumors about the transfer, the atmosphere at home has not been a joke. But recently, my dad renewed his contract and he often said positive things about the agent. So I thought I should tell you.”

He knew the country was famous for hooligans, but when he heard that his family was threatened because he lost the game, Jaejin understood David’s actions as if they had put a puzzle together.

‘Perhaps there were several reasons. The timing is also right. And if it’s a family thing, obviously.’

The factor that Jaejin thought was the pressure that his family should not go through the same thing again because of him. And mental anxiety due to position change.

With the above circumstances added, I made a guess as to whether it would have been so difficult after seeing the transfer news.

“It must have been difficult to say, but thank you for telling me.”

To Jaejin’s words, Oliver responded as if he was grateful.

“No. His dad had never had such a good laugh lately. Rather, I am grateful.”

At Oliver’s words, Jaejin felt embarrassed.

“As a player’s agent, it’s natural.”

“But he said that it was a rare time for such a natural thing to happen. Dad.”
