Episode【275】: Mendes with His Big Mouth

The corners of Zhong Cheng's mouth raised slightly, but instead of speaking directly, he stared at Jorge Mendez.

Jorge Mendez smiled inwardly and said to himself: "It's really not that simple!"

Zhong Cheng said: "I would like to hear your thoughts. I think you should have very mature thoughts here today, right, Mr. Mendes?"

Jorge Mendez's eyes narrowed, and Zhong Cheng even used "Mr. Mendez", which meant that it was already very formal and Zhong Cheng was already in the zone.

Jorge Mendez stared at Zhong Cheng, just staring quietly.

Zhong Cheng smiled with a smile on his face, letting Jorge Mendes look at him like this.

When Cristiano Ronaldo and Julia Oliveira saw these two people like this, their hearts tightened. Wouldn't these two people cause any unpleasantness?

Both of them were a little worried.

Suddenly, Jorge Mendez kept nodding his head and said: "Very good, Mr. Loya is indeed worthy of his reputation. Since the words have come to this, I will say it directly!"

Zhong Cheng stretched out his right hand and motioned for Jorge Mendez to speak.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: "Leeds United has achieved great success this season and won the UEFA Champions League. Leeds United has greatly improved both in terms of identity and status. Leeds United has achieved great success. The players' salaries should also be increased, am I right, Mr. Loya?"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said: "Yes, you are right. Our club has this consideration, and the players' salaries will definitely increase significantly in the new season. Let's talk about your opinions and requirements. , Mr. Mendez!”

Jorge Mendez secretly thought: "Refreshing!"

However, Jorge Mendez also understands that since Zhong Cheng has said this, it seems that Zhong Cheng has already made up his mind on this matter. Now it depends on whether the request he made will conform to his decision. .

Jorge Mendes believes that the conditions offered by Leeds United do not meet his requirements.

Therefore, Jorge Mendes actually still hopes that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Leeds United and go to Real Madrid. In his opinion, Real Madrid is the best place for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Going there, whether in terms of money, fame, honors, etc., will allow Cristiano Ronaldo to reach the top.

And obviously, Leeds United cannot give Cristiano Ronaldo these times.

Jorge Mendes did not hide anything and said directly: "Mr. Loya, after our company's discussions and discussions with Chris, we have this view on Chris's next contract!"

Zhong Cheng stretched out his hand slightly, signaling Jorge Mendes to please speak!

Jorge Mendes was not polite and said directly: "There is no doubt about Chris' strength, and there is no doubt about his influence. In this season, Chris' performance has said everything. He is the most powerful player in football today." Players, it can even be said that there is no one..."

Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Just tell me your requirements for the new contract!"

Zhong Cheng clearly felt that Jorge Mendes was holding back his big move. Zhong Cheng would probably not be able to accept this new contract!

Jorge Mendez glanced at Zhong Cheng, chuckled and said, "Okay, let's get straight to the point!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and motioned for Jorge Mendez to continue.

Jorge Mendez immediately turned sideways and motioned to his assistant, who immediately handed a folder to Jorge Mendez. After Jorge Mendes took it, he handed it directly to Zhong Cheng without looking at it.

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Jorge Mendez, and then took the folder.

Taking the folder, Zhong Cheng flipped through it casually and started reading.

Jorge Mendes also immediately said: "This is a new contract drawn up after our discussion, and our requirements are all on it..."

Before Jorge Mendes finished speaking, Zhong Cheng immediately shook his head. Jorge Mendes frowned slightly. Sure enough, it was just as he imagined.

Obviously Leeds United will not agree to their request. Cristiano Ronaldo does not belong to Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng said directly: "Mr. Mendes, I think you have no sincerity at all!"

Cristiano Ronaldo frowned slightly, thinking something bad in his heart!

To be honest, he didn't expect that Zhong Cheng would directly refuse, and he was very angry from the sound.

Hearing this, Cristiano Ronaldo was surprised and a little disappointed!

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t think that his weekly salary of 120,000 pounds is any excess. After all, there are many people in the Premier League who earn more than 120,000 pounds a week. And he, Cristiano Ronaldo, can now be said to be the number one player in the Premier League. Considering Leeds United's previous salary structure, he did not ask for the maximum salary in the Premier League, which has already cut off a lot of benefits.

Are you even reluctant to part with this little thing?

Cristiano Ronaldo stared at Zhong Cheng closely, his heart full of disappointment.

Zhong Cheng also felt Cristiano Ronaldo's gaze, and he raised his eyebrows. It seemed like something bad was going to happen today. Zhong Cheng also didn't expect that Cristiano Ronaldo would open his mouth at this moment.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have traded Franck Ribery and Yoann Gourcuff for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jorge Mendez immediately said: "Mr. Loya, we are very sincere!"

Zhong Cheng ignored Cristiano Ronaldo's gaze, just stared at Jorge Mendes and said: "Very sincere? Let's not talk about other things. This week's salary is 180,000 pounds. Tell me how sincere you are." Where?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was originally very disappointed, was shocked when he heard this!

Shouldn't it be 120,000 pounds as agreed before? Why does this contract now have a weekly salary of 180,000 pounds?

Cristiano Ronaldo was a little confused now. He immediately turned his head and stared at Jorge Mendes, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Feeling Cristiano Ronaldo's gaze, Zhong Cheng was a little confused. How could Cristiano Ronaldo react like this? Is there... something wrong with this?

Zhong Cheng didn't speak, but looked directly at Jorge Mendes!

Jorge Mendes felt Cristiano Ronaldo's questioning gaze, but he ignored it now. Because before coming, Jorge Mendes had discussed it with Cristiano Ronaldo, leaving all the negotiations to him, and asking Cristiano Ronaldo not to say anything on the spot. If there were any problems, after they went back, Let’s talk with family members behind closed doors.

Therefore, now Cristiano Ronaldo did not speak, but just stared at Jorge Mendes with some dissatisfaction.

Jorge Mendes ignored Cristiano Ronaldo, smiled slightly and said to Zhong Cheng: "Of course we are very sincere. I think the weekly salary of 180,000 pounds is very reasonable. Look, the current Premier League Robinho, the highest-paid player, has a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds. What has he brought to Manchester City this season? How efficient is he? He can get 170,000 pounds, why can't Chris? Getting a salary of £180,000 a week?”

Yes, the highest paid player in the Premier League is Robinho, with a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds.

If you go by what Jorge Mendes says, Cristiano Ronaldo's salary should indeed be much higher than Robinho's.

But Manchester City is a nouveau riche. They are now using money to attract stars. If they cannot attract stars in terms of money, they will have no way to introduce stars. Leeds United is different. Leeds United now has some foundation. They will not use money to attract players now, and of course they didn't before.

What Zhong Cheng wanted to say, Jorge Mendes continued: "And you have to know that the world now is different from the world before, didn't you hear? Now Manchester City wants to introduce Chelsea's special Here, what’s the weekly salary they offer Terry? £250,000!”

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment and chuckled: "Do you think this is credible? They are just claiming it!"

Jorge Mendes immediately said: "You are right, it is just a claim, but it also shows that the times are different from the past!"

Zhong Cheng didn't speak, just stared at Jorge Mendez.

Jorge Mendes continued: "And now the world's highest-paid person is Ibrahimovic. Their annual salary is 12 million euros, which is about 191,000 pounds per week in pounds. We have no requirements now. With the highest salary in the world, I think we are very sincere.”

Hearing this, Cristiano Ronaldo was a little shaken in his heart. Yes, he is better than these people and performs better. Why can't he get such a large salary?

Jorge Mendes also said: "Mr. Loya, Chris is the first player to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League title after the restructuring of the Champions League. He is the first person. I think this salary is very appropriate!"

After saying this, Jorge Mendez did not speak, but stared at Zhong Cheng quietly.

Zhong Cheng chuckled and said: "Mr. Mendes is indeed great, and he is indeed the number one agent in world football. His ability to steal concepts is indeed very strong. Ibrahimovic can earn such a high salary. This is entirely due to Moratti's own preferences, he did not take into account the laws of the market at all, can such a thing be counted?"

Jorge Mendes wanted to speak, but Zhong Cheng did not give Jorge Mendes a chance to speak. He continued: "Chris is indeed very good, and I admire him very much. Last season I was Leeds United almost had civil strife because of him, but I still stand by his side. I admire him very much, but I can't let Leeds United's salary structure collapse just because I admire him!"

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly when he heard this.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Although the salary we gave Chris on the surface is 85,000 pounds, his real weekly salary this year should be around 125,000 pounds. I think this salary is already very high. This is a ranking. It’s one of the top three salaries in the Premier League!”

Jorge Mendez frowned slightly, this madman Loya was indeed difficult to deal with.

Because Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously a little loose at this time, obviously affected by Zhong Cheng's words.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Our club's plan is to give Chris a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. In addition to last year's reward system, Chris's salary today can probably reach around 140,000 pounds. This is definitely The second highest salary in the Premier League!”
