Gain full power at the start, surpassing Ronaldo and Messi

In addition to asking for a high salary for Lin Rui, Mendes also asked for an overall increase in Lin Rui's goal bonus, assist bonus, championship bonus, and portrait rights.

If he follows his request, Lin Rui will immediately become one of the top three players in Atletico Madrid in terms of annual salary.

Now the highest-paid player in Atletico Madrid is Falcao, who earns 9 million euros.

The second highest is Costa, who earns 8 million euros.

If Lin Rui's salary is also increased to 8 million euros, he will be on par with Costa.

And this is where the club is struggling.

They are worried that after giving Lin Rui such a high salary, other players will follow suit and ask for a salary increase.

After all, Lin Rui is just a newcomer. Although his performance is eye-catching, his qualifications and foundation are too shallow.

However, Mendes has already bitten the price, otherwise he will threaten to operate Lin Rui to other teams that can afford the price.

This makes Villaroya hate it, but there is nothing he can do.

He didn't dare to offend Mendes, because if he really let him operate Lin Rui, although Atletico Madrid might eventually get a 15 million euro liquidated damages, it was nothing compared to the potential shown by Lin Rui.

So no matter what, he couldn't let Mendes really operate Lin Rui away.

It was just that he had no way to decide the conditions proposed by the other party.

In the end, he could only report Mendes's request to the club president Celezor.

In the end, Celezor made the final decision.

Accept Mendes' offer, but the liquidated damages will be greatly increased.

On the third day after Lin Rui returned from Granada, his new contract was also drafted.

Lin Rui signed his name on the contract very happily.

The new contract stipulates that Lin Rui's weekly salary will be increased from 20,000 euros to 150,000 euros.

Other goal bonuses will be increased from 30,000 euros to 40,000 euros, and assist bonuses will be increased from 20,000 euros to 30,000 euros.

Other championship bonuses and team winning bonuses have also increased to a certain extent.

In addition, Lin Rui's share of the image rights has also been increased to 60%.

In this way, as long as Lin Rui continues to perform well, it will be easy for him to earn 20 to 30 million euros a year.

However, correspondingly, Lin Rui's liquidated damages have also been greatly increased from the original 15 million euros to 50 million euros.

This is the result of Mendes's argument. If Atletico Madrid's idea is followed, Lin Rui's liquidated damages will be set at 60 million euros.

The news that Lin Rui signed a new contract was quickly passed back to China.

Domestic fans were immediately jubilant.

There are two things that fans talk about with relish. One is the weekly salary of 150,000 euros, which is already a salary for top European players.

Although it is still a little worse than those superstars, it is definitely a small group of top European players.

Another one is the liquidated damages of 50 million euros.

This represents Lin Rui's current worth.

This worth is definitely not low in Europe.

Except for a few superstars whose worth can exceed this worth, most players cannot reach this worth.

This net worth is definitely the first in history in Asia where China is located.

And Lin Rui, who has achieved all this, is only 18 years old. He has been able to obtain such a net worth and status at such a young age, so what about in a few years?

Chinese football fans dare not even think about it.

So at this time, all major media in China are reporting about Lin Rui.

Because as long as the news reports about Lin Rui, it can always get more attention.

So Lin Rui is completely popular this time.

Now not only football fans know him, but even some people who don’t pay much attention to football have begun to pay attention to him.

When these people know about Lin Rui’s deeds, they will never forget it.

"It turns out that Lin Rui is so awesome. I have never seen such an awesome player in Chinese football."

"You don't know this, right? In fact, there are many football talents among Chinese people, but the path to advancement is too narrow. If Lin Rui hadn't played football in Europe, he probably wouldn't have risen."

"In any case, it is worth being happy that our country has such a football player. I will pay attention to his games in the future."

"Yes, let's give our support! Even if we can only cheer in front of the TV."

For a time, Lin Rui led a wave of football enthusiasm in China.

"Boss, our official website has suddenly received a lot of traffic in the past two days. Our server is running out of capacity."

Atletico Madrid's network director found Villaroya and reported his new problem.

"Oh, what happened? Is it a malicious attack?"

Villaroya was a little surprised.

"No, I looked at the IP addresses of those visitors, and many of them are from China. I guess it's because of Lin's incident. His popularity in China has increased, which has driven the number of visits to our website by fans in their country. The sales of jerseys on our official website have increased several times in recent days." The network manager analyzed

"That's great!"

Villaroya clapped his hands excitedly.

He was a little upset about giving Lin Rui such a high contract, but he didn't expect that he would see Lin Rui's energy so soon.

If this contract can get a lot of attention from Chinese fans, it would be worth it.

It can even be said that the club has made a lot of money.

From this point of view, the stars backed by a big country do have an innate advantage over those from small countries.

You know, China has a population of more than one billion. If Lin Rui's commercial value is really opened up, it will bring huge benefits to Atletico Madrid.

Thinking of this, Villaroya's heart suddenly became hot.

The unhappiness of giving Lin Rui a high contract disappeared immediately.

Now he began to worry whether Lin Rui was satisfied with the contract.

Lin Rui didn't care too much about his popularity in China.

He is now actively preparing for the game with the next team's opponent, Sevilla.

On November 18, 2012, Atletico Madrid welcomed Sevilla, the opponent of the 13th round of the league, at their home stadium.

Sevilla is also a traditional powerhouse in La Liga.

Although they have not won many championships, they are ranked very high in the league every year, and they are also a team that can participate in the Champions League and Europa League for a long time.

This season, they have 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in 12 games, with 21 points, ranking eighth in the league.

The results are not very ideal.

However, they still have the opportunity to compete for a European war quota.

So for every game, they are now actively fighting for victory.

Although Atletico Madrid is now the first in the league, in the eyes of Sevilla, they still think that they are on the same level as the opponent.

So in this game, Sevilla did not play conservatively.

And this also saves Atletico Madrid a lot of trouble.
