At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 169

"Latest news, Villarreal received inquiries from Liverpool about defensive midfielder Rodri!"

"Atletico Madrid's chief scout was photographed entering Villarreal!"

"According to well-known journalist Romano, Liverpool and Southampton have basically reached an agreement on Van Dijk's transfer, but Chelsea and Tottenham are trying to intercept it."

...

The morning newspapers are all full of news about operations.

Liverpool is ready to move, and fans think Liverpool will make big moves in the next transfer window.

After all, fans know that after buying Salah, Coutinho's transfer fee is still a large sum of money left.

Barcelona is very generous. They spent more than 100 million to buy Coutinho, leaving Liverpool with a generous transfer fund.

Of course, Coutinho in Liverpool has the unique agility of Brazilians, both dribbling and shooting, which really makes all the giants envious, so Barcelona wants to buy Coutinho at all costs.

The first thing Mike does every morning when he wakes up is to make sure that the money will not be used by his boss to buy a yacht.

He wants to strengthen Liverpool's waist, and the yacht cannot help Liverpool defend on the court.

Klopp is sorting out the latest progress of the club every day.

There are three main lines. The first is the FA Cup. Liverpool has now become the quarterfinals and is three games away from winning the final championship.

Liverpool is still leading the Premier League, and Manchester City is chasing behind. Liverpool must maintain its league status and defeat all relatively weak opponents in order to continue to consolidate its leading advantage.

The third line is the Champions League. Liverpool has entered the semi-finals and will face the Bundesliga king Bayern Munich, a real fierce battle.

Liverpool Club has never been so united from top to bottom as it is now. All staff members are dedicated and working in one direction.

Liverpool players have also entered a focused training state. Everyone is trying their best and eager to contribute to the team.

Lin Chen, who has been in the limelight recently, received an invitation from New Balance, the official jersey brand of Liverpool Club.

As the official partner of Liverpool FC, New Balance has the right to invite a Liverpool first-line player to become the face of New Balance at the Liverpool club level.

In layman's terms, it means wearing their jerseys to take a makeup photo to show Liverpool's new jerseys for the next new season.

And this kind of invitation is usually received by the most popular players in the team.

Because this is an extra income, and the only thing the players need to do is to take a photo wearing the new season's jerseys, it's that simple.

It's not an endorsement, or even a cooperation, but just a superficial work done by Liverpool FC for the official jersey brand.

Of course, if it can promote the sales of jerseys in the new season and bring more income to the club, it would be better.

It's more like helping Liverpool FC to promote itself, and there are no more requirements. Barnett believes that Lin Chen has to agree.

"This is free money, and you are not representing New Balance, you are representing Liverpool Football Club, and you are wearing the new jersey of Liverpool Football Club for the photo. It's that simple."

The general manager of New Balance soon came to Liverpool to discuss with Barnett. Lin Chen was not there for this negotiation because Barnett promised Lin Chen that he would do his best to make New Balance bleed heavily, and he wanted Lin Chen to get enough income.

Again, before coming, Di Kayo, the head of New Balance, had heard of the name of Barnett, the English negotiation boss.

It is better to confront the devil than to negotiate with Barnett. This is a saying circulating in the English football world.

Therefore, Di Kayo was well prepared, and he believed that he had enough sincerity to impress Barrett.

On March 17, the two met in a cafe.

Before sitting down, Barnett exuded a kind atmosphere, which relieved Di Kayo's somewhat nervous psychology.

However, as soon as he sat down, the negotiation officially began, and the pressure like the god of death instantly spread.

Barnett was like a completely different person, and Dikayo felt that he would agree to all of Barnett's requests, no matter what they were, otherwise he would take out a Barrett and shoot him in the head.

Dikayo was completely suppressed and defeated by Barnett in the confrontation of aura.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Dikayo is the head of the New Balance branch, with a very high position and a lot of income.

In the New Balance range, Dikayo is indeed a big boss who deserves respect.

But Barnett's agency is even richer than New Balance, and he is the leader of this agency.

For so many yearsBarnett built up his agency empire bit by bit, and Di Kayo was no different from an ant in front of him.

"This is the reward fee we provide for Lin, and the fee is 3 million pounds."

Barnett was silent, and he didn't even speak, which made Di Kayo feel worried. Then Barnett slowly spoke.

"This is far from what we expected. The fee is 5 million pounds."

Di Kayo was stunned. He didn't expect Barnett to make such a demanding request.

"Mr. Barnett, we are seeking cooperation in the name of Liverpool FC. This is not an endorsement invitation."

"We have given the greatest sincerity as much as possible, and we even have to pay a certain fee to Liverpool FC."

"Do you understand what I mean? In layman's terms, this is just us, as the official partner of Liverpool FC, appointing a Liverpool player to serve as the official partner of Liverpool in the new year of New Balance."

"And the only thing Lin needs to do is to wear a new jersey and take a makeup photo. For him, it is even as simple as eating."

Barnett frowned slightly and glanced at Di Kayo with murderous eyes.

"Oh?"

"Then please appoint someone else. We don't accept this invitation."

"If you ask someone else to take the photo, do you think their publicity effect can be half as effective as Lin's?"

Barrett spoke slowly, which made Di Kayo sound clearer.

"Who is the most popular young man in football today?"

"Who is the player with the highest traffic in football today?"

"Please figure it out."

These few simple sentences made his position clear. Barnett knew very well that New Balance was attracted by Lin Chen's traffic.

Di Kayo was sweating profusely. He was trying to keep himself calm, but he thought he had no chance of winning.

Five minutes later, Barnett lit a cigar comfortably.

People who are familiar with Barnett know that this guy just holds the cigar in his mouth most of the time and never smokes.

And the moment he lit it, he must have achieved some kind of victory.

"I'm glad we can reach an agreement."

"By the way, please go back and tell your boss Cameron, is he still your supervisor now?"

Barnett looked at Di Kayo and nodded.

"He is my old classmate. I used to collect protection fees from him when I was in school."

"I will go to Eagle Sauce Country to reminisce with him and give him a copy of the Chinese Dahongpao that Lin gave me. I think he will like it."
