Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 362 Broker

"Hello, sir."

"Hello, man."

The next day in the office, Li Yanqing welcomed a guest he hadn't seen in a long time.

Sittek is a relative of the retired coach Di Matteo.

After a long period of time, the young man finally gained Quinn's complete trust and became his agent.

Li Yanqing could hardly remember when he had recommended him to Quinn.

"I'm so glad you finally succeeded."

"Also, you can sit down instead of standing the whole time."

"No, today's conversation might not be very pleasant." Sitek shrugged, clearly indicating that he was going to talk about something today.

"Okay, go ahead." Li Yanqing knew without a doubt that it was about Quinn's contract.

From his perspective, a raise is definitely not an option right now, but other things are worth discussing.

"Then I'll start."

"First of all, his current salary is too low, and the contract term is too long."

"A weekly salary of only 20,000!"

"He's Burton's absolute core player!"

When it comes to serious matters, Sitek's demeanor is like that of a completely different person; he becomes incredibly serious.

"He's not even twenty years old, which is reasonable."

"Besides, there are still more than two years left on the contract, so you don't have much control over this aspect."

Li Yanqing looked at Sitek with a smile. The kid was a bit green, but he was satisfied with his overall performance.

He will definitely become a qualified shrewd businessman in the near future.

"Although it is the absolute core, all of this was arranged by me."

“If I want, he can always have a substitute.”

You should understand this.

“Yes, it was you who nurtured him.” Sitek was clearly not going to give up so easily, so he continued.

"But he's performing very well now, and I think he can earn himself a better contract."

"A weekly salary of £50,000, for a one-year term."

"Are you robbing me, kid?" Li Yanqing frowned when he saw the conditions offered by the other party.

Putting aside the weekly salary of 50,000, as a core player in the team and the next captain, is the term limited to one year?

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Di Matteo had treated him well, he would have kicked the person out the moment he heard those words.

There's no sincerity whatsoever...

"Yes, I can see that you aspire to be Burton's flag bearer."

"If that's the case, why not provide him with better living conditions?"

“I know you’ll be angry after a year, so let’s revise it.”

"Five-year term, weekly salary of £100,000."

"Regardless of whether we have a good relationship or not, please leave now, or I'll call security." Li Yanqing pointed behind the other person, then pointed behind himself.

"The door is over there."

"The window is this way."

Having a good relationship is one thing, but robbing someone is quite another.

“I think it makes perfect sense, sir.”

"Don't forget, the club now holds 100% of his image rights!"

"Don't you think that a weekly wage of 100,000 pounds is nothing compared to this?"

Sitek finally revealed his ultimate goal.

Yes, none of the preceding details matter; he's only after his image rights.

If the club owns 100% of Quinn's image rights, it means Quinn can't accept advertisements or take on certain events on his own...

Everything has to be arranged by the club. Even if you take it on yourself, you still have to take a considerable amount of money from the club in the end.

It is clear that Sitke intends to separate some of Quinn's business activities from the club.

“He insisted on signing this clause with the club himself.”

"I never asked for it."

Li Yanqing tapped on the table and suddenly asked.

"Why do you think I chose Quinn to be my flag bearer among so many young people?"

“If someone like that is absolutely necessary, Murphy could be one.”

“Uh…” Sitek suddenly paused for a moment.

That makes sense. They all joined the first team around the same time, and before that, Murphy was the team's rising star.

"To put it simply, the right to one's image is a very important reason."

“If he wants to be synonymous with the club, we will not allow anyone to cause trouble outside in his name.”

"understand?"

Li Yanqing was actually talking nonsense.

Even before signing the image rights contract, he had already planned to train Quinn.

Murphy is unsuitable entirely because of his playing style; that kid is better suited as a substitute...

However, Sitek hasn't figured this out yet.

So now I'm a little unsure what to say.

But he quickly recovered and continued.

"In that case, let's give him a raise."

"Still the same requirement, 50,000 per week."

"You can't just ask players to contribute to the club."

These words clearly failed to sway Li Yanqing.

The club has also invested a significant amount in Quinn.

When he first joined the first team, his weekly wage was far higher than Murphy's at the time.

"Alright, that's enough for now, Sitek."

"Your words are no longer convincing."

Even though Sitek seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to say something more, it seemed he had run out of cards to play.

Therefore, Li Yanqing did not intend to continue talking to him.

“Sittek, Quinn believes in you, but he believes in me more.”

"You spent too little time with him, and you came to me too early."

“It’s been almost two years.” Sitek was a little discouraged because he had made a solemn promise to Quinn before he came.

We will definitely get something for him.

The rebuttal left him almost speechless.

"Let me give you some advice. You can start by looking at other aspects."

"As for the contract, come talk to me after you've sorted out everything else."

Li Yanqing smiled again; he was quite satisfied with the young man.

Someday in the future, he will surely become the person who is closer to Quinn than he is.

At that time, he will be needed to help Quinn.

A head coach can't be with a player forever, but an agent can.

This is why Ibrahimovic's relationship with Raiola is so close, far exceeding his feelings for Mourinho.

It's like one is a friend and the other is family.

Therefore, Li Yanqing didn't mind helping Sitke gain more experience while he was still around.

"For example, according to the club's plan, we'll get him some commercial activities first."

"To increase your standing in the club's eyes."

“I’m willing to talk to you partly because I know you, and partly because of Quinn.”

“Otherwise, you’ll have a hard time getting through this door. I’ll send you directly to Barker, where you can’t appeal to his emotions.”

"How about we have you take on a part-time job for Mourinho?"

“Uh, then no need.” Sitek shook his head repeatedly; he owned a company, after all.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"In short, the contract that grants Quinn 100% portrait rights is unreasonable."

“I will definitely change this.”

"You'll start to get anxious when his contract is about to expire."

Li Yanqing didn't care at all.

"Don't worry, I told you, Quinn will listen to me more..."
