Chapter 141 Contract renewal completed
The Algerian, who only spent 30 euros with Udinese last summer, quickly grew into a regular main player for Udinese in the dream season that just passed.This season he represented Udinese in 36 games in Serie A, Europa League and Italian Cup, contributing 7 goals and 8 assists.

With his outstanding performance in Udinese, the 23-year-old Algerian was successfully selected for the Algerian national team, and quickly secured his main position, participating in the Brazilian World Cup finals with the team.

When he was with Bruno, Kanter and Cancelo, he often used this to show off.

Faced with this guy's pretense, Bruno and the others could only be incompetent and furious, and then beat the kid to vent their depressed mood.

Now, I didn’t expect that this guy would be the first of the four to leave Udinese.

What makes Bruno jealous is the salary offered by Leicester City for Mahrez: a weekly salary of 2 pounds!
Converted into euros, this is equivalent to an annual salary of 128 million euros, which is higher than his contract renewal that has not yet been completed!

In Udinese, Mahrez's annual salary is only 20 euros, not even a fraction of what Leicester City gives him!
Originally, Mendes was also negotiating contract extensions with Udinese for three other players, including Mahrez.But that's just incidental, Bruno's contract renewal is the key.

Obviously, it is precisely because Bruno's contract extension has not been negotiated that it has delayed Mahrez's contract extension negotiations.In the end, the outsider Leicester City showed up and spent money on Udinese and Mahrez, which finally facilitated the transfer.

According to what Mendes revealed to Bruno, Leicester City spent a full transfer fee of 1000 million pounds in order to acquire Mahrez, which is equivalent to about 1230 million euros.

In one year, Udinese made a profit of 40 times from this investment!

The famous black shop in Europe really deserves its reputation!

………………

According to Mendes, he facilitated Mahrez's transfer in order to put pressure on Udinese to make concessions on Bruno's contract extension.

After all, based on Bruno's performance in the past season, if he can be poached for only 4000 million euros, other teams may have to fight for it.

However, this transfer has achieved a win-win situation for all parties.

For Udinese, although they were blackmailed by Mendes to a certain extent, this transfer brought them 1200 million euros in real money and a net profit of 40 million euros in one year. This kind of deal is simply not a good deal.

For Leicester City, they have acquired a powerful player, which is very important for the team's relegation cause in the new season.

For Mahrez, he has achieved a leap in his income and gained tangible benefits.

For Mendes, through this transfer, he not only received a commission, but also showed his determination to Udinese, thus promoting Bruno's contract renewal process.

Not long after Mahrez's transfer was concluded, Udinese finally chose to step back, which also contributed to Bruno's contract extension.

………………

When Bruno learned that Mahrez had transferred to the newly promoted Premier League team Leicester City, he had just returned home to Portugal after completing a forty-day special training.

He has a week off before the start of the new season.

But within two days of his leisurely days, he received a call from Mendes, and his contract extension was finally settled.Although the process was very bumpy, the negotiation was finally concluded, and it was the conditions Mendes wanted.

Of course, Mendes also made some concessions, that is, allowing Udinese to increase the amount of the liquidated damages clause to [-] million euros.

This is also the reason why Mendes proposed the image rights before the liquidated damages were even negotiated. This was his idea. It seemed that he cared about the liquidated damages, but in fact, what he cared about most was the image rights.

The liquidated damages clause became a step for Udinese to step down, so that both parties could accept it.

Mendes used the liquidated damages to obtain more favorable conditions for himself and Bruno. It seemed like a concession from Mendes, but it was a huge step forward in the negotiation process.

In the new terms, if Udinese wants to use Bruno's image rights, it needs to pay Bruno a certain proportion. If it sells the jersey with Bruno's number and name on it, it will also give Bruno a share.

As long as Bruno's jerseys sell well, Bruno may earn millions of euros every year from this alone.

………………

"The specific terms of the contract have been negotiated. I will send a contract document to your email. You can take a look. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. If there are no problems, we can make an appointment. Signed," Mendes said on the phone.

Bruno nodded and said: "Okay, Jorge. Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, I want to share your income, so working for you is also making money for me. You're welcome, Bruno." Mendes smiled.

"By the way, talking about sharing, do I need to give you some money from my salary?" Bruno asked.

"No need for that, ha!" Mendes laughed, "Your money is your money, my commission is paid by the club."

"Club?" Bruno was a little surprised. He had always thought that the so-called agent taking money from the player's salary meant that the player himself gave the money to the agent. Unexpectedly, it was the club.Thinking of this, Bruno noticed that the salary paid to him by Udinese before was directly based on his salary level and paid to him directly after tax deduction.

"Yes, my commission is [-]% of your salary, which is actually not much. This money does not come from your salary, but the Udinese club takes out a separate sum of money based on your salary. Come give it to me,” Mendez explained.

Bruno's annual salary for the previous season was 120 million euros, and 12% was [-] euros.For Mendes, who has a lot of big-name players, it is really nothing.

As for the agent's salary being paid by the club, Bruno doesn't know why there is such a rule, but he doesn't care if he is not allowed to pay.

………………

After hanging up the phone, Bruno started to collect emails and then read them.

The contract period is 4 years, which is 5 year less than the 1 years of the previous contract.

In other words, this new contract does not actually extend Bruno's time at Udinese.

The annual salary is 300 million euros before tax, which is more than double compared with Bruno's first contract.

After signing this contract, Bruno's salary has become the highest in Udinese, and he is the only one in the team.

However, Bruno's performance on the court is also matched.

In addition to salary, bonuses are also an important part of a player's annual income at the club.

Unlike Chinese clubs, European clubs have a single-game winning award. Instead, they have a target bonus before the season, such as league championship award, Champions League seat award, etc.

If the team finally wins the league championship or locks in a Champions League spot, all players can receive different amounts of bonuses according to different proportions.

Generally, the more important players and the bigger the players, the more bonuses they receive, so this bonus distribution ratio also needs to be negotiated by the agent in the contract with the club.

Since Udinese finished third in Serie A last season and was once a strong contender for the league championship, Bruno's contract includes a league championship bonus clause.

Of course, the possibility of getting this bonus is almost zero. The real hope is the Champions League seat award.

Bruno's bonus distribution ratio is also the highest among all players, even more than captain Di Natale.

In addition, there are also goals and assists awards, which are also very important for Bruno, who has strong scoring and assisting abilities.

Bruno had already known the amount of various bonuses, and they only appeared on the contract after he nodded with satisfaction.

………………

As for the liquidated damages clause, the liquidated damages clause is set at [-] million euros, and it is stipulated that the liquidated damages clause can only be activated when there is one year left in the contract, and cannot be activated before that.

The addition of such a restrictive clause is naturally to prevent a team from poaching Bruno for [-] million euros in the second year of the contract.

You must know that for today's Italian football, a transfer fee of 5 million euros is considered a huge amount, but for the giants in La Liga and the Premier League, 1.01 million euros is not unaffordable.For example, when Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid five years ago, the transfer fee was close to [-] million euros; and last summer when Bale moved to Real Madrid, the transfer fee directly reached [-] million euros.

As for the future, Bruno is even more aware of how outrageous the transfer fee will rise to.

The next two or three seasons will be a period of soaring transfer fees.

Especially the summer of 2016.

Before that, Bale was the only player born in world football whose transfer fee exceeded [-] million euros.

But since the summer of 2016, a transfer fee of [-] million euros seems to have become the threshold for so-called big-money transfers.If your transfer fee does not reach [-] million euros, it will be difficult for people to think that you will be a superstar.

Among them, Neymar's transfer to Paris was born, with a transfer fee of more than 2 million euros.

It’s simply shocking!
Bruno knew in his heart that he might have already transferred and left Udinese before he could finish the contract.

On the one hand, it is because as he grows older and his performance on the court becomes more stable and outstanding, more and more wealthy clubs will definitely keep an eye on him.

On the other hand, the platform of Udinese will soon become a shackle for Bruno's growth.If he wants to develop further, he must break out of this small world.

In fact, Bruno has already attracted the attention of many wealthy teams.It's just that Bruno's experience in the top league is still too little, which makes these wealthy teams still have some doubts about Bruno, and they have not spent a lot of money to poach him.
