Chapter 210: Endorsing Nike
As February approaches, it means that the closing time of the winter transfer window is getting closer and closer.
In this winter transfer window, Manchester United appeared to be very calm, with almost no transfer actions. However, there is no shortage of reports about Manchester United in the media, and of course the news about Manchester United's change of ownership has been rumored in recent years.
Many British media have recently revealed that the wealthy Qatari royal family has recently bid 1.5 billion pounds for Manchester United.
However, this attitude of the Manchester United boss did not let the Qatar royal family give up. On the contrary, the Qatar royal family also intends to further increase the offer.
The current plan of the Qatari royal family is to sell Manchester United for 2 billion pounds since the Glazer family has released rumors. Then, the next step is to continuously increase the quotation towards this amount.
The "Guardian" confirmed in its related reports that the Glazer family did express their attitude of "selling Manchester United for 2 billion pounds" to the Qatar royal family shortly after Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup.
Since they bought Manchester United for 800 million pounds in 2005, the Red Devils have now exceeded 700 million pounds in debt. Moreover, 530 million pounds of funds when acquiring Manchester United came from high-interest loans.
Faced with such a huge debt pressure, the Glazer family cannot carry it on for a long time, and the British media generally believe that as long as the Qatar royal family’s bid gets closer to the sales floor of the Glazer family, the deal will be closer to completion.
When Manchester United will change hands, there is no clue at present. As the team coach Ferguson, he will not pay too much attention to these things. It is Ferguson's job to lead the team to continue to compete for the championship.
At the same time, Ferguson has to strive to improve the team itself, and renewing the contract with core players is undoubtedly the top priority.
………………
The current situation of Manchester United is very good, the team lineup is stable, the record is excellent, and there is no need for large-scale changes.
In this regard, the "Daily Mail" revealed yesterday that following the expectation of renewing his contract with Giggs for one year, midfielder Carrick is also likely to complete his contract renewal with Manchester United in February. Carrick's current contract There are still 18 months to expire, and Manchester United hopes to keep the 29-year-old local midfielder in the team for a long time.
Manchester United is expected to usher in the positive next month than Carrick and Ryan Giggs contract renewal, Ferguson has confirmed that Valencia, who suffered a broken leg, is expected to return at the end of February.
Ferguson said in an interview with reporters: "Valencia is doing very well now. He has started running exercises. He stays with the physical therapist every day. Now his injury is completely under our control. I think at the end of February He will almost be back with the team by 2020, which is a great encouragement to us and something we are looking forward to."
In addition to revealing the recovery progress of Valencia's injury, Ferguson also said that he would not consider selling Welbeck to Sunderland.
Welbeck's future definitely belongs to Manchester United. The young Italian striker Macheda, who is also rented out, hopes to do the same. Macheda, who is now rented to Sampdoria, said in an interview a few days ago: "I hope to see Until I have a sunny day in England, if not, then I think about other things, I always say, I want to come back to Manchester United and play in the Premier League."
All the best for Manchester United,
Ferguson was naturally in a good mood, and he didn't even forget to mock Liverpool, which was looking for a savior all over the world and planned to buy the team captain Charlie Adam from Blackpool.
Ferguson believes that Liverpool is in a hurry, and he also advises Blackpool that it is best not to pay the Scottish captain who scored 4 goals and 4 assists in 21 league appearances this season for an ultra-low £4 million. sold to the Red Army.
Ferguson said: "Charlie Adam is a star now. I knew him when he was still in Scotland. He is very talented. As a midfielder, his scoring efficiency is also good. So in my opinion, Black Pu won't sell him unless Holloway takes the initiative to be stupid. They can actually wait until the summer to do so, there is really no rush to sell the captain now."
………………
When Ferguson was in a good mood to taunt his rival, Bell was also in a very good mood, because he signed another heavyweight treatment.
Because he came here with the ball sage system, Bell is very confident about his future development. Therefore, when choosing a commercial endorsement, Bell is very cautious and has always adhered to the principle of preferring shortages. As a result, he has signed only a handful of commercial endorsements over the past year, especially the sponsors of jerseys and sneakers, which have been delayed.
In this regard, only first-class brands such as Nike and Adidas have been considered by Bell, and the asking price is also very high.
However, due to the rapid rise of Bell, the two major brands lacked a proper assessment of his value, so the endorsement offer given by Bell has always had an irreparable gap with Bell's expectations.
With Bell's great success at the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony a few days ago, and Bell's increasingly fiery performance, the endorsement negotiations between Bell's agent and the two major brands finally ushered in a turning point.
After nearly 20 days of difficult negotiations again, Nike finally won this competition and reached an agreement with Bell on the sponsorship of jerseys and shoes.
In fact, the final quotations given by the two parties are actually almost the same, but because Nike is a sponsor of Manchester United, and the quotation given by Nike is indeed slightly higher, Bell finally chose Nike.
The endorsement contract reached by the two parties is 6 million pounds, and the signing time is 4 years. This is already the current super endorsement in football after Messi and Ronaldo.
Although Bell feels that the price is still a bit low, he also understands that for now, his influence in international football is not as good as Messi and Ronaldo, the two world footballers and Golden Globes. The winner, especially Messi, the first star who has achieved the defending title.
Taking the opportunity of this vacation, Bell also attended the signing ceremony held for him at Nike's European headquarters in the Netherlands.
