Chapter 753 Advance to Wembley!
"Hey Jorge"
On the sofa in his apartment, Gao Bo was lying comfortably with Haruko's thigh resting on his head. Haruko was preparing her doctoral dissertation, while Gao Bo was busy with training during the day and finally had some free time at night. , and then he got a call from his agent, Mendes.
Seeing that the season is coming to an end, Mendes also needs to communicate with Gao about the offseason.
During the season break, Gao Bo can still have about a month's vacation. During this time, in addition to being busy leading the team to train and play, he has also begun to make plans for the next season.
Signings, training plans, and especially after the Premier League schedule and the draw for next season's Champions League are out, he'll have to prepare a detailed game plan.
Although a coaching staff assists him in completing these tasks, Gao Bo still has to decide on the general direction.
"You need to arrange a few days to sign with a few big brands, Gao!" Mendes said reproachfully on the other end of the phone.
"I know I know" Gao Bo was a little helpless.
"Nike plans to sign a new contract with you. In addition to Nike, Heineken beer and a Chinese mobile phone brand are also going to look for you to endorse."
Mendes said on the other end of the phone.
He wasn't the kind of broker who would slaughter a sheep and kill for its wool. Mendes attaches great importance to the maintenance of Gao Bo's image.
Gao Bo is the coach of the Champions League. This season, he is about to lead Manchester City to the final again, and he is even expected to become the first coach to defend the Champions League after the reorganization of the Champions League. Such a head coach, naturally, cannot be the endorsement of any brand. to be signed.
Even though many businesses are now waving checks, Mendez knows that they must put up the shelves, otherwise, it will damage Gao Bo's image.
Which brand to choose, first of all, it depends on whether the brand has enough influence and whether it matches Gao Bo's own image.
"You still need a few more days to shoot the commercial!" Mendes said, and then he talked about the general advertising planning case.
Gao Bo didn't have any opinion after listening to it. He is more and more used to being a celebrity now.
"Regarding the endorsement fee,
At present, the condition given by Nike is 3 million euros in four years, while Heineken is 2.3 million in three years, and the Chinese brand is 10 million in five years! "Mendez said.
"Ten million?!!" Gao Bo was a little surprised, "You mean RMB, right?"
"No, it's Euros!" Mendes corrected. "You have no idea how influential you are in China, high. You are definitely the most popular sports star in the whole of China!! You are definitely worth the money!"
Mendes on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Also, I still think the price is low. By the end of the season, I'm afraid they will have to increase the price, are you right? High!"
Gao Bo understands what Mendes means. His agent is asking him how sure he is to win the league and the Champions League.
"Of course, Jorge!" Gao Bo didn't hesitate. When it came to football, he was always so confident.
"There is one more thing. Recently, our team went to contact a few European teams, and finally targeted the Dutch First Division, the Hague club!" Mendes began to say another thing.
"The Hague?" Gao Bo thought for a while, he really didn't have much influence on this team.
"Yeah, The Hague!" Mendes said, "The team is doing fine right now, but their owner has been in trouble lately and is ready to sell his team to save the rest of his property, so we can use It's a fairly complete team for a relatively low price."
"Well, if I can, I hope it can be determined as soon as possible." Gao Bo said.
Buy a team, then recruit some players who may become famous in the future, and then select some talents who can be cultivated. When the inflation of European football transfers intensifies, these little guys will be all cash cows. !
Compared with these money, millions of endorsement fees are really not worth mentioning
"Manchester City intends to renew your contract recently, and they want to extend your contract!" After talking about the acquisition of the club, Mendes mentioned another thing.
This is also normal. For the Abu Dhabi consortium, they are not short of money, so the value of Gao Bo is not measurable by money. Last season, Mancini and Manchester City were unable to make it out of the group, but this season, Manchester City has been killing all the way. Into the semi-finals, and there is a good chance of reaching the finals.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Manchester City executives want to renew the contract with Gao Bo.
However, Gao Bo did not intend to renew his contract with Manchester City so early.
Although he does not reject being the godfather of a certain team, he also believes that his contract has three years left, and he does not need to rush to sign a new contract.
"Let's put this matter on hold, I don't want to talk about contract renewal so early." Gao Bo shook his head and said.
Mendes agrees.
They don't need to worry, everything depends on Gao Bo's performance. If Gao Bo's team's performance is not good, then it will not help him to have a ten-year contract. If Gao Bo can continue to lead Manchester City to win the championship, then Gao Bo's contract period will be shorter. , Manchester City will be more anxious.
Near the end of the season, many media have begun to have some wind.
Two of Spain's two giants are interested in inviting Gao Bo to coach, but out of Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich also showed their desire for Gao Bo to take over as the coach of Bayern. After all, after the end of this season, Heynckes will Retired, Bayern Munich is still having a headache for next season's head coach.
However, it is impossible for Gao Bo to leave Manchester City for the time being. He has only been here for one season, and it is not yet time to lose his freshness.
Moreover, there are not many clubs that can meet the salary of a head coach of Gao Bo's level. In the Premier League, there are only a few teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United.

At this time, the entire stadium is like a sea of cheers!
