Chapter 101 He Stays! [Fourth Update]

“The 2015-2016 Europa League ended with Monaco defeating Liverpool - to win the championship.”

"After returning from Basel, Monaco held a grand double championship parade, with two championships shining brightly..."

On a flight to China.

Yangguang was bored and scrolling through the news on his phone - many airlines now allow passengers to use mobile phones while the plane is in flight, and many flights also provide WiFi services.

After looking at it for a while, Yangguang kicked the phone back into his pocket.

Turn on the system.

After the game with Liverpool.

Sunshine got Gerald's [Heavy Artillery] module.

It can be regarded as continuing to strengthen the ability to score outside the penalty area.

The combination of inside and outside makes him even more difficult to defend.

Then Yangguang turned off the system and turned to look at Raiola, who was reading a Playboy magazine and laughing.

This Italian guy is so old fashioned.
Sunshine curled his lips.

"Milo, aren't we going to sign a contract with Nike? Why do we have to fly back to China?"

Yangguang also wants to go to Madrid to visit his parents.

As a result, the Europa League game ended after Monaco’s championship celebration.

He was going to fly to China the next day.

"Because they value your popularity in China. They hope to sign the contract in China and then shoot some advertising clips at some iconic landmarks in China. These are what you need to cooperate with."

Sunshine nodded.

Compared with brands like Adidas and Puma.

Nike is clearly the more generous one.

They directly offered 8 million euros per year - which is much higher than the annual salary that Yang Guang received in Monaco.

In fact.

Last year, companies such as Adidas and Nike had contact.

That's when the sun came out.

The highest endorsement fee these two companies offer is only 1.5 million euros.

Directly rejected by Raiola.

But the sunlight is different now.

He is the Ligue 1 Golden Boot winner and the Europa League Golden Boot winner.

Moreover, he has a wide influence in China.

This influence has even surpassed that of Messi and Ronaldo in China - large companies like Adidas and Nike have their own data analysis departments, and they are well aware of this.

therefore.

Just ended this season.

Nike can't wait any longer.

They know that Sunshine is not some flash-in-the-pan little star.

His potential is there.

No, it's not potential anymore.

But strength!

His goal tally is here.

In other words.

They have to act first.

Adidas and Nike are competing fiercely to sign star endorsements.

Many stars will basically not change after choosing one of them.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo.

He just signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike.

Nike will give him 16 million euros every year.

Nike's contract with Sunshine is for four years.

Eight million in the first year, and then increase by 10% every year.

Four years later, the two sides continue to discuss a new contract.

This price is of course given in consideration of Sunshine’s huge influence in the Chinese market.

"This price is very sincere," Raiola said. "In this way, you will basically be Nike's biggest spokesperson in the Chinese market, but they will carefully package and promote you to help you enhance your personal reputation."

Raiola said.

"Compared to Adidas' hesitation, Nike was much more decisive in its actions."

"Hesitation? Why?"

Yangguang was a little surprised.

He felt that since he was so famous, shouldn't Adidas be eager to sign him?

"Because you have been banned by the Chinese Football Association."

Raiola shrugged.

"Compared to Adidas, Nike prefers people like you who are tough."

Nike has a tradition of signing controversial stars.

This is related to their brand culture. Nike has always appeared as a challenger to Adidas.

"Forget it. As long as I get the money, it's fine." Yangguang shrugged. He wasn't picky about that.

"By the way, some teams have contacted me and asked about your transfer willingness," Raiola said.

Sunshine's contract with Monaco is 3+1, which actually means 3 years. If Monaco and him cannot reach an agreement on a contract renewal after the end of next season, Monaco will definitely make a move after the end of next season and push Sunshine into the transfer market.

This year is only his first season with Monaco.

Therefore, neither Sunshine nor Monaco will be too anxious about the contract issue for the time being.

"Oh? What teams are there?"

"Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Juventus."

Raiola seemed to be naming dishes.

"stop stop"

Yangguang stopped in a hurry.

"Transfer. Let's not talk about it for now."

Sunshine leaned back in his chair.

His thoughts flew back to last night, when he had a private conversation with Yalding after the celebration ceremony.

Jardim knew that the sunshine would not stay in Monaco for long.

Everyone knows this.

It's been such a crazy season.

Yangguang will definitely be the prey pursued by all the big clubs.

throughout Europe.

Monaco's financial resources are definitely not able to compete with those top clubs.

A team like Monaco.

It is difficult to keep the star players in the team.

Especially a player like Sunshine.

first.

Sunshine is not a player trained by Monaco.

He will not feel a sense of belonging to Monaco as a youth player.

Secondly.

He is not from Monaco.

and so.

No matter which way you look at it.

It is impossible for the sun to stay in Monaco forever.

The only problem is.

When will the sun leave?

"As far as I know, many teams have already made offers, and the prices are quite exaggerated."

Jardim didn't beat around the bush.

Said it directly.

"What do you think?"

For Jardine.

Sunshine is the most important player under his command.

So before the start of next season, he must communicate well with the Suns.

Both sides were frank with each other.

If Yang Guang wants to leave, he must make plans early. The departure of the team's most important attacker has a great impact on a team.

Yangguang thought for a moment.

Said: "I want to know the team's plans for next season."

Generally speaking.

Only the core members of the team are qualified to know about the team's team-building plan.

And now the sun is obviously qualified.

Yalding nodded.

What he feared most was that Yang Guang would refuse to communicate honestly and then contact those big teams privately.

At that time, the sun suddenly left.

Catch him off guard.

Now Sunshine asks about the team's plans.

This shows that he is inclined to stay with the team.

"The overall framework of the team has been built, and the main lineup will not change much. Our goal in the transfer window is to keep this core framework and then consolidate the depth of the lineup. My goal is to defend the Ligue 1 title and at least reach the quarterfinals in the Champions League."

Yalding said.

This goal is relatively realistic.

Retain the core framework, defend the Ligue 1 title, and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

But the sun is a little greedy.

He feels that the team is actually quite strong. With such a great center forward like him, how could the Champions League quarterfinals satisfy him?

He smiled and said, “Boss, why don’t you set a goal of winning the Champions League?”

Jardim rolled his eyes: "Do you know how difficult it is to win the Champions League? Even a team like Real Madrid, which is top in every position, needs some luck to win the Champions League."

"Maybe we're lucky," Yangguang said.

His expression became serious: "Boss, I am actually very confident, but I also know that whether or not we can win the Champions League depends not only on our strength but also on some luck. Let me put it this way, if you promise me that you will not hold back in the Champions League this season and will not give up the Champions League for the league, I will promise you that I will not contact any team during this transfer window!"

Yalding stared at the sunlight for a long time.

He found.
Even though I had already looked up to the sun.

But he felt that he still underestimated this young Chinese man.

He told him his ambitions frankly.

He saw a kind of persistence in Yangguang's eyes.

He couldn't even imagine how high Sunshine could reach in the future.

Yalding took a deep breath.

His original plan was to continue to strengthen Monaco's squad.

He feels that if he can reach the knockout stage of the Champions League, he will have accomplished his mission.

But now he suddenly felt.
In the next season, it might be a good idea to go crazy!!
What if it succeeds?

Yalding took a deep breath.

"Okay! I promise you!!"

Yalding said seriously.

The sun smiled.

"A word is settled!"

He stretched out his hand.

“It’s a deal!!”

The generals high-fived and reached an agreement!

Mobile phone vibration.

Yangguang took out his cell phone.

[Transfer Market] In the group, B Seat sent a message.

This group is a private group between Yangguang and several friends in the team.

Seat B: Where are you all planning to go?

Fabinho: I'm going back to Brazil, why don't you all come to Brazil to find me? Enough girls.

Mbappé: I'm still a minor.

B席: By the way, have any other teams contacted you? Alas, Manchester City contacted my agent and insisted on giving me several times the salary, which is so annoying.

Bakayoko: Is that what people say?
Lemar: @Sunshine, Yang, what about you?
Sunshine: I won’t leave next season.

Mbappé: Why?

B Silva: There are rumors going around at Real Madrid that you will return to Real Madrid.

Sunshine: Because I want to win the Champions League!

There was silence in the group.

B: Are you kidding?

Bakayoko: Does the child have a fever?

Fabinho: Go to Real Madrid to win the Champions League?
Yangguang: I have talked to the head coach. Brothers, most of your contracts are longer than mine. If the club doesn't let you go, there is nothing you can do. Just stay and play another season. I really think we have a strong lineup together.

Yangguang was sending messages on his phone.

Soon, several people sent private messages.

Sunshine: I'm really not kidding!

Yangguang didn't know what his teammates were thinking.

Anyway, he planned to stay for another year.

As for the future
Who knows.

The plane flew to the Magic City.

Then, under the arrangement of Nike, we had filming and interviews with many media and completed the signing.

The specifications are very large.

There were dozens of media outlets that came to interview us.

Nike wants to take advantage of this opportunity to promote Sunshine to the Chinese market.

Next.

His large photos, posters, and commercials.

It will appear in the CBDs of major cities in China and in advertisements on major TV stations.

Besides.

Nike also arranged several autograph sessions.

Chinese fans.

Don’t you want to get your idol’s autograph, get close to your idol, and compete with him on the court?

This activity will continue for a week during this offseason.

The sun will travel around big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Chongqing.

Participate in various activities.

In short.

It’s not easy to get the eight million from Nike.

As for vision.

Attending these events isn’t a bad thing either.

This will also increase his own exposure.

He wants to be a world-class player.

It's not enough to just be good at playing football.

We also have to cooperate with this kind of commercial promotion.

Frequently appear in the media.

Witnessed by dozens of media outlets.

Yangguang signed his name on the endorsement contract.

"We're very optimistic about you, Yang!"

Nike's marketing executive shook Yangguang's hand and exclaimed in admiration.

"Thank you."

Sunny smile.

“You’ll get a lot of value for your money.”

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The people at Nike looked at each other in confusion, but they soon felt relieved.

A star with personality
That's how it has to be.

Just like their advertising slogan: JUST_DO_IT.

Just do it.
