I am the king of football

Chapter 109: Drinking Wine and Talking about the Future

Qin Hu was not aware of the meeting of Hull City's top management, but he still learned the latest news from Mendes. The fact that the two North London giants and the Manchester Red Devils were interested in him and had made offers made him dazed when he received the news the next day.

It can only be said that in just less than a year, Qin Hu has achieved a huge leap. He once aimed to play in the Chinese Super League, but now he has become a figure that even the Premier League giants are vying for.

"Qin, do you want to go directly to the Premier League during the winter break? Give me a definite answer. Believe me, as long as you want, I can help you arrange it."

During the phone call between Mendes and Qin Hu, Mendes asked a key question very seriously, which forced Qin Hu to think for a long time.

For a moment, he thought about the time he spent with Hull City fans on Christmas Eve, and the promise that the cute little girl made with him in her baby voice.

In addition, leaving the team halfway or joining the team halfway is not a good choice. Qin Hu does not think that he can adapt to the team's playing style and the rhythm of the game at the speed of light after joining a team.

So he solemnly told Mendes his idea.

"Sir, I think I'd like to finish the season at Hull City."

"Okay, very good, I support your decision, then I understand, you can prepare to sign a new contract with Hull City, I think you can get another salary increase."

"what?!"

Three days later, Qin Hu received news from Hull City. His agent Mendes rushed back from Portugal and went to the club office with him. A new two-year contract was placed in front of him.

After the top management of Hull City Club reached a consensus that Qin Hu should not be let go during the winter break, they were quickly controlled by Mendes who called.

In professional football, the club chooses the players and the players can also choose the club. As a rising star, Qin Hu has the right to choose, and Hull City also needs to consider his ideas carefully.

Mendes obviously did not tell the club that Qin Hu wanted to stay at the club and help the team get promoted to the Super League.

He first paved the way for the worst-case scenario, that Qin Hu would leave, to win Hull City's continuous concessions. Finally, he said that the player actually wanted to stay in the club very much, but as an agent, he would never allow the player's interests to be harmed.

This made the person in charge of the negotiations at Hull City curse Mendes as an old fox afterwards, because they had offered the highest contract that the club could accept in order to express their sincerity.

The salary will be increased by 5000%, the contract period will remain unchanged, and the player's buyout clause will be set at million pounds. However, if the player wants to leave at the end of the season, he must actively cooperate and not be overly obstructed.

As a result, Qin Hu's weekly salary reached 4.5 pounds without doing anything, which brought his salary to the top of the Championship.

On that day, Qin Hu solemnly signed the contract and shook hands with the person in charge in front of him. He once again felt how happy it was to have a professional agent.

After he and Mendes walked out of the club's gate, they happily had dinner at a local Western restaurant in Hull City. During this dinner, Mendes also solemnly put forward his suggestions to Qin Hu.

"Qin, your ability is obvious to all. You can finish this season at Hull City, but what I want to tell you is don't waste your talent. You have enough potential to go to a bigger club and achieve bigger goals."

After taking two sips of wine, Mendes' face turned slightly red. He looked at Qin Hu as if he was looking at a treasure. In the young man in front of him, he seemed to see himself and another young man many years ago.

"I will carefully select a suitable club for you in the next six months. Although I don't know which of the top five leagues you prefer to play for, I suggest you stay in the UK." Qin Hu sat opposite Mendes with his back straight, like a student listening to his teacher's instructions. When the other party suggested that he stay in the UK, he was a little confused, but Mendes soon gave the answer.

"In today's football world, if there is one place that people pay the most attention to, it is probably La Liga. After all, Messi and Ronaldo are both there, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are now considered super giants."

He laid out the cutlery in front of him one by one. Mendes was not British and did not understand the red tape of the British table. He put two forks together and put them aside.

"But, because of this, you can't go to La Liga. You are very good, Qin. To be honest, you are really good, but compared to those two, you still have a long way to go."

"Understood sir."

If Qin Hu's talents have now reached the star level, then Melo, who are gradually reaching their peak, has also reached the superstar level in all his talents. The gap between them will take years to make up.

"Then let's take a look at other leagues. French Ligue 1, no! This league is the last of the five major leagues. The attention and competition intensity are not good enough. Although Paris has been invested by financial tycoons, in the long run, it is just a monopoly. No competitiveness means no viewing value."

Taking out another fork and placing it separately, Mendes gestured with his hand.

"The Bundesliga is better than Ligue 1 in this regard, but in my opinion, the same problem exists. Bayern Munich has no rivals in the Bundesliga. Dortmund may occasionally break through its blockade, but only occasionally."

"As for the Premier League, to use a Chinese term, it's a battle of heroes. No one doesn't like to watch a good show of heroes fighting for supremacy. Watching football is for entertainment. For a long time to come, the ratings of the Premier League will be the highest among the five major leagues."

Mendes cut a large piece of steak and placed it on the cutlery in front of him. In his opinion, there is another point. The Premier League today lacks a top star to compete with the two giants of La Liga. Although the English Football Association has been trying to support a representative, the effect is general.

"Qin, believe me, staying in England is the right choice for you. You are also eligible for England's youth training. You should also consider this. You are more popular than young people in other leagues."

If, just if Qin shows the potential to become the next Messi and Ronaldo, Mendes can be sure that the entire Premier League will definitely promote him at all costs.

This time, because the two giants gathered in La Liga, the Premier League, which has been suppressed by the opponent, will never easily give any league the opportunity to poach its players.

"Yes, sir. I am also thinking of staying in England."

All that needed to be said had been said, and after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Hu's answer was obvious. Lin Lan was about to come to the UK to study, and he had no plans to go to a new place to readapt to the language and living habits in the short term.

"Okay! Then just wait for my good news. Keep up the good form. You will definitely be the brightest star of this summer transfer window at the end of the season!"

"Wait for good news~"

"Cheers!"

Today's update! Let's talk about the future over a cup of wine. Mendes has a lot of connections in English clubs. Where do you think Qin Hu will go in the end?
(PS: Brothers, the journal will be online on the first of next month. I have seven or eight days left to save up some drafts. I will update once a day. After it is online, I must update twice a day very steadily. Otherwise, it will be too tragic if I can't even get full attendance. Sports is still a niche, and everyone is doing it for love. Full attendance is still very important hahaha~)
