Chapter four hundred and eighty third

"Pablo, you have been in Mallorca for four years. No matter what, Mallorca also has a place in the midfield." Jose looked at Pablo Garcia in front of him and frowned.

"Boss, I know this. I basically couldn't play any games last season, but you still value me very much, giving me the opportunity to play in many games... Before, when I injured Beckham, you always supported me, and I am very grateful for this. But now Mallorca is so outstanding and no longer needs me. I am only twenty-seven years old. I never thought that I would just play as a substitute for my remaining career. Boss, it's not for money, really." Garcia said to Jose very sincerely.

Jose sighed, he knew that Garcia was telling the truth. Last season, because the midfielder was basically made by Senna, Dakot and Alonso as the main players, Iniesta became the main substitute, so Garcia played the fewest games in the past season in four seasons, and this season there were more Mendeta and Farinos. Although Dakot seemed to be leaving, the youth team will promote the younger and stronger Sissoko, even if Garcia stayed, she would probably continue to serve as a substitute like last season and could only get the chance to play in the Cup of del Rey.

In the four years in Mallorca, Garcia has won enough honors as a substitute. What he wants now is only more main lineups. Osasuna's invitation at this time made Garcia very moved.

"Since that's the case, I can't force you to waste your youth on the bench again... If there is a suitable offer, I will not be able to stop you." Jose replied at the end.

After getting Jose's approval, Garcia began to contact Osasuna, one of the four remaining member-based clubs in La Liga. However, compared with Real Madrid, which represents the Spanish government, Barcelona, ​​which represents the Catalans, and Athletic Bilbao, which represents the Basques, Osasuna is a much worse financial position than the boss.

Osasuna is located in the capital of the Navarre Autonomous Region of Spain. The entire region is only a single seedling in La Liga. This autonomous region was previously a kingdom. Later, it was divided into two parts, part merged with Spain and part merged with France. The economy of this place is not particularly good, nor is it bad. Therefore, in the era of membership, their operations were quite good, at least there were no financial problems. Therefore, together with Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bilbao, the membership system was retained. They have basically been in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, and they rarely have the chance to enter the European arena, and there is basically no risk of relegation - there are many such teams, and Mallorca was such a team in the past.

During the negotiations between Osasuna and Mallorca, Jose deeply felt that it was not easy for Spain's mid- and lower-level teams to buy people. Mallorca's price was 5 million euros, which was not high anymore. However, Osasuna still couldn't take it out, and in the end he could only choose the installment payment method...

Jose hates this method very much. What should I pay for two million euros first and the remaining three million euros in two years - how could Valencia inexplicably sign Coradi and Feore? Isn't it because Mendeta's transfer fee was not money to pay for the debt? This situation can easily cause additional burdens, because you may not be willing to ask for the players who pay the debt. If it does not match the tactics, you have to pay the salary. It is not so easy to sell it.

However, Osasuna had no money, and Jose had no choice but to agree to such a transfer method, with two million euros in cash and the remaining three million euros will be paid within two years - this is also the transfer method that La Liga teams are used to. Osasuna has always had a good reputation and has never heard of anything that they don’t pay back the money. Jose is relieved.

Dacott and Pablo Garcia transfer to leave at the same time. Mallorca's only full-time defensive midfielder is Senna and Sissoko. However, veteran Marcos' level has not dropped much. He did not think of retiring. It would be okay to stay and be a substitute. Even Jose did not send all three defensive midfielders last season. Even if he used three back midfielders again, he was just one organization's back midfielder and two defensive midfielders. Now Mallorca's number is more than enough. If he really can't do it, he can still draw the second team's Xavi Martinez.

There are many versatile players in Mallorca now, especially in the substitute, Van Persie can play as a winger, second striker, attack midfielder and other positions. Iniesta can basically play in all positions in the midfield and winger, and Campano can play as a right back and right forward. With these versatile players, it is quite beneficial for La Liga teams with only 25 people on the first team.

Everything is ready now, just waiting for Macon's labor certificate to be cut and intercepted in the middle. So during the next period, Jose, in addition to accompanying Karin to enhance his relationship, discussed with his father about sponsors, jersey sponsors, jersey advertising sponsors and other matters. During this period, Alemane has already discussed several sponsors, namely Heineken in the Netherlands, French logos, Citroen sedans, PepsiCo and local Telegraph. These four sponsors can provide Mallorca with sponsorship fees of 8 million to 12 million euros per year. It is very easy to get the highest sponsorship fee, as long as Mallorca can guarantee entry to the Champions League and enter the knockout stage in the Champions League.

However, the two most important sponsors, one is the jersey sponsor and the other is the chest advertising sponsor. There is no suitable candidate yet.

In terms of jersey sponsors, Adidas and Nike have now found their spokespersons in La Liga, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona. If Mallorca wants to become the third pole of La Liga, then we cannot find one that is much different than these two sports giants. Reebok is interested in winning Mallorca's jersey sponsors, but the price they are willing to pay is not high, just a floating sponsorship fee of up to 15 million euros, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are both less than the sponsorship fee of about 30 million yuan. Mallorca naturally doesn't want to - after all, we are also the first triple champion in La Liga!

When the negotiations with Reebok were deadlocked, an unexpected sponsor quickly attracted Jose's attention...

"Someone came up with a sponsorship fee of at least 20 million euros per year, up to 25 million euros, and they will produce our jerseys at that time." Old Alemane said to Jose with a strange expression.

"Oh? What kind of sponsor is it?" Jose asked interestedly. It can reach up to 25 million, which is already quite amazing. You should know that Real Madrid now receives sponsorship fees of 32 million in Adidas every year, Barcelona receives less at Nike, and there are also 29 million. Other teams, including Valencia, have the highest maximum of no more than 20 million. If Mallorca can get this contract, at least they will have the confidence to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"zara." Old Alemani spits a word from his mouth.

Jose felt it was familiar, and then he shouted in amazement: "Is that brand known for its pirated version?"

Old Alemani nodded heavily...

Jose is amused and crying. The Chinese translation of the Sala Sports brand is a subsidiary of the inditex Group, which is ranked first in Spain and the top four in the world. It mainly operates various clothing, shoes and hats - of course, including sports brands. Their slogan is to have excellent designs from top designer brands, but the price is closer to the public, allowing civilians to embrace the aristocratic clothing...

In fact, to put it bluntly, this company has not yet entered the ranking of the best brands in the world, but has become the second largest pirate company in Adidas a few years later. It is the largest pirate in Europe. Their characteristics are very interesting. Whenever other clothing companies release new styles, they immediately steal the design and manufacture them in large quantities at a lower price. If you want to sue me, I will fight with you. After the fight, I will pay my money. But if my clothes should be sold, they still have to sell them. Just rely on this, they sold the world's top sales, and obtained the most sales profits and the fastest sales growth - it looks familiar, right? It's similar to the Internet company in China that is famous for its counterfeits, but they are willing to pay compensation after the pirated version...

"Damn it, will you be scolded by someone as a sponsor of such a company?" Jose said with a wry smile.

"They have been scolded for many years... Besides, we just like their sponsorship fees, and no one will use this to attack us so stupidly." Alemani thought very thoughtfully and thought very openly.

Jose thought about it and it seemed that there was no problem. Just copy it, just copy it. Anyway, many people have said that Mallorca is a copycat Real Madrid, and the copycat jersey is paired with a copycat team, that's just right...

And after all, Sala is also the largest sports brand in Spain. Such a company is worthy of Mallorca. It’s just that it’s a little bit unpleasant to say that it’s a little bit unpleasant.

"Shala, just Sala, but I'm curious about what kind of jersey they will design for us next. We won't just copy Real Madrid and Barcelona's home uniforms. At that time, Real Madrid will want to see Barcelona. Barcelona will play like Real Madrid. Then will we be miserable?" Jose joked.

Old Alemani also laughed. Putting aside other things, the price offered by Sala company still satisfies Jose and his son. Floating sponsorship fees of 20 million to 25 million are also among the top three in La Liga.

After receiving Jose's approval, the contract between the two parties was soon signed. The bottom limit was 20 million sponsorship fees per year. For three years, the annual sponsorship fees increased by 10%. If Mallorca can enter the Champions League field of next season and enter the knockout stage in the Champions League at the end of the season, the sponsorship fees will be additional 5 million euros. Three years later, Sara Company has priority sponsorship rights if the conditions are equal.

At the same time, Sala will provide all the match clothing of Mallorca Club in the next two years, including jerseys, shorts and goalkeeper jerseys, of course, sneakers are not included, because many players have their own sneaker brands.

Mallorca's specialty stores will continue to receive the supply of Sala Company. According to the share of each item sold by Mallorca club, according to the statistics of the club's accounting department, this item alone can increase Mallorca's income by at least several million euros per year!

"With the results, all income can be increased! Football is also a money printing factory!" Jose said satisfiedly, which is why he had not discussed contract renewal with his sponsors in the past few years. After all, the negotiations may not have increased much at that time, and it is easy to restrain his own hands and feet. He endured the low income in previous years, which led to a significant increase in revenue this season!
