Chapter 134: 9 million for 3 years? Who is this sponsorship contract looking down on?

Upon learning that Lin Quan had returned to Germany, Perez rushed from Spain to meet him as soon as possible.

The other party's quick action made Lin Quan realize that this might really be a big contract.

"Uncle Pere, what kind of contract is it?"

"Take a look first and talk while you're at it!"

Pere poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "The contract with Bayern has almost been finalized, and Adidas is Bayern's sponsor. They have been eyeing you for a long time and are interested in signing you.

But before that, you only had some fame in the Bundesliga and your influence in the entire football world was relatively limited, so Adidas didn't care too much about you. The contract they offered was too insincere, so I rejected it. "

"So what made them start to pay attention to me, a 'unknown' player, this time?"

Lin Quan closed the contract in his hand and looked at Pere with a smile.

“Ahem, firstly, your performance in the Bundesliga is getting better and better, proving that you are not a flash in the pan player.

Secondly, you have gradually established your foothold in the national team, and are even becoming a core player of the next generation of the Spanish national team.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely have a place in the future football world.

Adidas may have been watching before, but now they can't sit still.

If you don’t act now, when other competitors approach you first, they might miss out on you as a future star.”

Lin Quan nodded. There are many giants in the sports brand sector.

Adidas is not the strongest one, but because their headquarters is in Germany, they were the first to notice us.

As his fame in the football world grows, there will surely be many sponsors who will come to him and seek cooperation.

For players of the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, it is the sponsors who approach them to seek cooperation, rather than them approaching the sponsors to seek cooperation.

"Adidas' contract is very sincere, and the contract they offered is 9 million euros for three years.

If you sign with them, they will use their connections in European football to help you win this year's Golden Boy Award."

Pere was obviously attracted by this contract. You know, Ronaldo's contract is only for 4 years and 24 million euros. Lin Quan is still a newcomer, and it is very good to get such a contract.

But Pere's words obviously did not impress Lin Quan.

Ronaldo's current contract is indeed not big, but he signed this contract three years ago, and his contract with Nike will expire next year.

By then, Nike will definitely significantly increase the renewal amount.

If he remembered correctly, the next time Ronaldo signed a big contract was a 5-year contract with a total amount of 50 million euros.

That is to say, starting next year, Ronaldo will be able to receive at least 9 million euros in sponsorship fees from Nike every year.

Adidas offered him a 3-year, 9 million contract at this time. Is this just a way to get rid of a beggar? "Reject Adidas' offer!"

Lin Quan had never had a good impression of Adidas, let alone the disgusting things they did in later generations.

Just talking about their offer itself, Lin Quan felt it was an insult to himself.

Neymar's contract with Nike was signed in 2011, and Nike pays him 4.5 million euros per year.

This was the contract Nike offered Neymar before he entered the top five leagues, but only after he made his mark in the Brazilian league.

Once Neymar joins the top five leagues, the amount of his contract will probably be on par with Messi and Ronaldo.

It's 2013 now, and the contract amount that Adidas gave to Lin Quan is not even as much as the contract that Nike gave to Neymar two years ago.

How contemptuous is this? "Huh? Lin, are you dissatisfied with the contract amount?"

Perez thought Lin Quan would agree to the offer, but he didn't expect the other party to reject it so decisively.

So I asked one more question.

"Uncle Pere, do you think the amount of this contract is high?"

Pere thought for a moment and said:

"For ordinary players, getting a contract like this before the age of 20 is considered a big contract."

"So do you think I'm an average player?"

Lin Quan asked with a smile.

Pere was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"Haha, I overlooked it. With the strength you have shown now, I think 4 to 5 million euros a year is about right!"

Considering that Ronaldo only earns 6 million euros a year, Pere did not mention the price too high, and it is unlikely that sponsors will directly offer Lin Quan a sponsorship fee comparable to that of Ronaldo and Messi.

However, considering the huge potential that Lin Quan has shown so far, offering him four or five million euros is not outrageous.

It all depends on whether these sponsors are willing to take a gamble on his potential!

Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Lin Quan smiled and said:

"We don't need to rush. There are still more than three months until the summer transfer window. It will be more advantageous to talk to sponsors after the transfer window starts and my next club is determined."

Perez nodded. The commercial value of stars in small clubs is definitely not as good as that of stars in big clubs.

Therefore, when dealing with these two types of players, sponsors are more willing to offer big contracts to the latter.

This is also the reason why all the big stars like to join wealthy clubs.

Not only do the top clubs pay more, they also have higher commercial revenues and are more likely to achieve results, which means they have both fame and money.

"In addition to this contract, there are a few smaller contracts that don't involve sports. I brought them along. Would you like to take a look?"

Perez originally took these smaller contracts with an indifferent attitude, but he didn't expect that the contract with the largest amount would fall through. At this time, only these small fish and shrimps were left.

Lin Quan took a look and found that the scope of these contracts was quite wide.

There are McDonald's and Kaifengcai in the catering industry, Pepsi and Coca-Cola in the carbonated beverage industry, Head & Shoulders and Clear in the shampoo industry. Lin Quan even saw a sponsored advertisement for Durex.

And Durex actually offered quite a lot of money...

Adidas headquarters in Nuremberg.

"What? He rejected our offer?"

When Adidas' sports marketing director Jimmy Dano learned that Lin Quan's agent rejected their offer, his face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, they seem to be unhappy with our contract offer."

"Haha, 9 million euros for 3 years. Which player under the age of 20 can get such a high sponsorship fee?"

Jimmy said disdainfully, does this guy really think he is Messi or Ronaldo?

"Should we still contact them?"

When the assistant heard what Jimmy said, he thought the other party was going to give up signing a contract with Lin Quan.

"Suspend contact, let him hang out for a while, let them calm down."

The assistant nodded and was about to leave the office.

“Have any other brands approached them recently?”

Jimmy seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.

"We haven't found any other sports brands yet, but there are many other brands that want them to be their spokesperson."

Jimmy nodded indifferently: "As long as those guys from Nike don't come to poach our players, that's fine. By the way, we should keep a close eye on his contact with other sports brands during this period. If there is no third party involved, we will just stick to the contract amount!"

"What if there is a third party involved?"

"Then just adjust it according to the offer made by the opponent. In short, we don't accept blackmail from players!"

Jimmy Dano seemed very confident. He firmly believed that in the end one of the players would be the first to compromise.

Adidas has always been very arrogant.

It is impossible to expect them to make concessions when they are in control.

Moreover, the income from sponsorship fees of their players has always been lower than that of Nike.

The reason is very simple. In European football, Adidas has greater influence than Nike.

Players can gain more invisible benefits by signing with Adidas, which are benefits that cannot be directly measured by money.

…

Adidas is not in a hurry, and Lin Quan is not in a hurry either.

After playing the away game against Mainz at the weekend, he took time out to shoot his first commercial.

This is an advertisement endorsing Kaifeng vegetables. The content of the shoot was very simple and it only took about half an hour to complete.

The endorsement fee for Kaifengcai is not expensive, 500,000 euros a year.

Although the price is not high, the task is easy and simple. You just need to cooperate with them to shoot a few commercials.

Besides, KFC’s hamburgers are good, so Lin Quan eats them occasionally.

After starring in their commercials, he was able to enjoy certain privileges, such as having the wide hamburger he endorsed for free.

In addition, every Crazy Thursday, KFC stores will also give him various benefits.

However, for professional players, fried foods are not healthy. They can be eaten, but only in small amounts.

It’s okay to eat it once or twice a week, but if you eat it more often, you will easily gain weight and affect your health.

On April 6, in the 28th round of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen played against Schalke 04 at home. The two teams did not have any major grudges before, but last year when Werder Bremen visited the Veltins Arena, they had a very unpleasant experience.

The opponent player Neustadt's serious foul on De Bruyne caused Werder Bremen's midfield core to miss almost a month of games.

During this period, Werder Bremen had to rely on Lin Quan alone to lead the team in the game.

In addition to the bad behavior of the opposing players on the field, the various restrictions they imposed on Werder Bremen's fans at home also made everyone in Werder Bremen very unhappy.

So this time Werder Bremen followed suit.

Of the more than 50,000 tickets for the home game, they only gave Schalke FC 2,000 tickets.

There were more than 10,000 Schalke fans who traveled with the team, but only one-fifth of them were able to buy tickets to enter the Weser Stadium to watch the game.

Schalke fans were very dissatisfied with this and gathered outside the Weser Stadium to protest.

Werder Bremen simply ignored their protests. After all, it was you who took the initiative.

We are just returning your original behavior to you. You can only blame yourselves! "I don't need to mobilize you for this game, right?"

In the locker room, Schaff glanced at the team members and saw faces full of fighting spirit.

This made him very satisfied! "No problem, crush Schalke!"

"Yes, fuck him!"

"Try to score more than 100 goals and give them a brutal massacre!"

The morale of Werder Bremen's players was high and they wanted to eat Schalke 04 alive.

Such strong fighting spirit and hatred are rarely seen even in the northern derby against Hamburg.

From this we can see that Schalke really angered them completely!

…

On the visiting team side, Schalke's coach was also mobilizing the players.

"We want to be sixth in the table, six points behind Leverkusen.

If we can’t beat Werder Bremen away from home, the gap between us and Leverkusen is likely to widen further! ”

"Can you accept the result of not playing in the Champions League next season?"

Schalke's players, with red eyes, shouted loudly: "Unacceptable!"

"Well, then go to the competition field and prove your determination with your actual actions!"

In this way, both teams left the locker room with confidence of winning and came to the player tunnel.

The players from both teams were clearly less than half a meter apart, but they both treated each other as air.

He didn't even look at the other person and simply ignored the other person's existence.

The referees looked at each other and felt the strong tension between the two teams!

It seems that the refereeing standards for this game need to be tightened up a bit, otherwise, with the two teams being so hostile to each other, someone might get hurt in this game.

When players from both teams entered the field, Bremen fans shouted the names of their players and gave them warm applause and cheers.

When it was the visiting team's turn to play, they were greeted with only boos.

Although the Weser Stadium is not as luxurious as the Veltins Arena, the atmosphere here is not bad at all.

Before the game started, Schalke players already felt that this game would be difficult.

At 15:30 in the afternoon, the game officially began with the referee's whistle.

There was no probing between the two teams, and they began to attack from the first minute of the game.

Werder Bremen played without any burden in this game. All they had in mind was attack, attack, and attack again!

For Werder Bremen, their lead at the top of the standings is huge.

Even losing this game would not be able to pull Dortmund down from second place.

Therefore, they can let go and move forward with all their strength to attack the enemy's goal.

But for Schalke 04, they cannot afford to lose this game. If they lose, they will be in a desperate situation in the fight for the Champions League spot.

So in the confrontation between the two sides, Schalke 04 was the first to back down.

I have to be fearless, the opponent's attack is too fucking scary.

The opponent's number 10 was like a dribbling machine, and almost single-handedly turned Schalke 04's left side upside down.

The opponent's No. 6 seemed to have drunk fake wine, and frequently sent out extremely penetrating passes, putting their defense line to the test one after another.

In addition to these two huge threats, the other players of Werder Bremen also seemed to be crazy. Whenever they had a chance, they would rush into their penalty area frantically.

Schalke 04 has never seen such a crazy style of play. Even Dortmund in the Ruhr derby were not so crazy!

Madmen, all of them are a bunch of madmen! (End of this chapter)
