Chapter 541: Lucas's Agent Story
Lucas, Glory, and Debora soon meet in the restaurant.
Lucas didn't expect Glory to really be able to move Debola, and for a while he didn't know what Debora thought. If she is destined to leave Glory, why should she be her own agent?
But in any case, Lucas is very happy to be able to have Debora as his agent.
He saw the changes in Europe when Glory went to Europe, and a lot of it was due to Debola.
If Debora could really be his own agent, it would mean that he would make more money than he does now.
As a professional footballer, who doesn't love money?
After the three of them sat down, Debora was most concerned about how Lucas and the other agent's agent signed the contract.
She offered to look at Lucas' agent contract.
But who hasn't had trouble going out to a nightclub and still has a contract with them?
So Lucas can't take it out now.
However, Lucas promised to go back to get his contract after eating.
He first introduced Debora to his agent.
Lucas' current agent, José Ramaria, is not actually a Brazilian, but an Argentine. But there is nothing surprising about this, Juan Figer, the South American agent who controls 90 percent of the Brazilian players who go to Europe, is not Brazilian, but a Uruguayan.
So the agent of a Brazilian player does not necessarily have to be a Brazilian.
Ramaria was discovered by Ramaria at a soccer school when Lucas was still very young, just eleven years old.
Then he painted Lucas a very bright future with some sweet words.
Lucas, who was not deeply involved in the world at that time, knew that the other party was fooling himself, so he naturally agreed.
Later, I realized that I had been deceived.
La Maria just likes to deceive young players with this kind of lie, and then gain their trust and get their agency contracts at the lowest possible price.
He doesn't need to spend too much energy and cost on these young people, just observe them silently, and if he has talent, he will increase his investment, and if he has no talent, then ignore it.
In fact, you can't blame Lamaria for what he did, because that's what everyone did.
In South American football, especially in Brazil, many agents go around digging for talented children and then signing contracts with them, and some even buy the ownership of the player directly, so when the club wants to buy the player, they have to negotiate with the agent, and the transfer fee has to be paid to the agent, or the agent company.
And the player is equivalent to working for the agent.
The agent pays the kids to go to the football school for training, trains them, and then uses his connections to send the young players to various clubs.
In fact, players and agents also take advantage of each other. Without an agent, these young players would have to sit for their own public exams held by various clubs, competing with hundreds of people for single-digit places, and the competition was fierce.
And if he has an agent with great powers, then he can join the team directly without such competition.
Of course, the cost of joining the team agent will also be counted on the player's head, and after the player starts to make money, the agent will have to get the player back even with interest.
That's how Godot went to Corinthians with glory in the first place, and Godot had a bit of a relationship with Corinthians, so his players could be stuffed in. As a result, he didn't expect that the Corinthians club had changed people, and Godot's relationship was gone, so he had to go around for trials with glory.
After signing Lucas, it didn't take long for LaMaria to move Lucas directly into the Sao Paulo junior team.
And then...... I didn't care much about him.
Because Lucas did not show particularly outstanding talent and potential in São Paulo, it was natural that Ramalia could not give him a second look.
If you don't make much money from Lucas, why spend all your energy on him? Capitalists are not philanthropists and do not trade at a loss.
In this way, Lucas was left to fend for himself by La Maria in the echelons of São Paulo.
Lucas, however, did not realize this, and continued to dream about the future that La Maria had envisioned for him.
In this future, I will become a well-respected and popular famous football star, make a lot of money, live in a villa, drive a luxury sports car, be surrounded by beautiful women, and sleep without a duplicate ......
For this reason, he has been training hard in the São Paulo junior team.
"So, you also have time to train seriously, huh?" Glory interjected curiously.
Lucas, who was interrupted, rolled his eyes: "Who hasn't made a fool of the moment?" ”
"Okay, so when did you start realizing that you had been scammed by your agent?" Rong Guang asked.
"On my sixteenth birthday." Lucas replied.
"What was that time?" Glory is strange.
"Because the day Ramaria told me to be a big star was when I was 16! That one...... Swindler! ”
Hearing Lucas's gritted teeth, Glory and Debora glanced at each other very tacitly.
I really don't know if Lucas is naïve or stupid......
Later, when Lucas realized that with his talent and ability, he could not become the big star in Brazil as La Maria said, he began to give up on himself and did not take his training seriously.
has been mixed in the youth team until he meets the glory......
Even after being selected for the first team of São Paulo and replacing the injured Fabiano as the starting centre-forward, he also won the Brazilian National Championship and the Copa Libertadores, as well as the São Paulo State Championship......
Lucas is still not favored by La Maria
He was utterly disappointed in La Maria.
La Maria will not look at himself again, at this time La Maria has entered Figer's agent company, and there are dozens of players under him, two-thirds of them are more famous than Lucas, they are stronger than Lucas, and they all earn more than Lucas.
They were the cash cow on which La Maria depended.
"When he signed with me, he signed a 10-year contract. I will give him 10 percent of all my income for 10 years......"
"Isn't the broker's commission five percent?" Glory looked at Debora strangely.
"At Lucas's age at the time, the agent said that the number of pumps was as much as it was. Only 10 percent of the draw is considered merciful to the agent. Debora explained.
"Well, then you're the epitome of law-abiding......" Rong Guang said.
"Of course, I didn't even think about tax evasion." Debora shot back with a blank face.
The two of them habitually quarreled for a while.
Lucas laughed when he saw this scene next to him.
He is really envious of Rong Rong to be able to have such an agent.
If Ramalia could do the same with him, he wouldn't want to change agents......
Because in fact, he is a person who is very afraid of trouble.
'Our contract expires next year, probably because I have been doing well at Bayern Munich lately, so he wants to re-sign me. Lucas said in the last word.
"If you can't wait next year, you can terminate the contract with him directly. Is there a termination in your contract? Debora asked.
"I think there was."
Debora nodded, "That's easy." Give him a sum of money and the contract will automatically be null and void. If he doesn't agree......"
Debora noticed what Rongguang seemed to want to say next to her, and she guessed what Rongguang wanted to say and said directly.
"If he doesn't agree, then take him directly to court, and the agent contract he signed with you should not be recognized by FIFA and not protected by law. As long as he fights a lawsuit, he will definitely lose. I'm sure he would have chosen to take a sum of money and quit your career if he had been smart. ”
Debora analyzed for Lucas.
It is a common occurrence for South American agents to change players for agents.
So they will definitely have a set of rules on how to terminate the contract.
Generally speaking, giving a little money is enough, and there is no need to go through a lot of work.
Because there are many South American players who successfully transfer to Europe, they will kick off their original agents, and then choose to let their family members or relatives be agents, so that they don't have to give their achievements to others, so that "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders".
For example, after Kaka arrived at AC Milan, he changed his agent. Now he is an agent by his engineer father.
An engineer father, not a lawyer, did he do to be an agent? Does he have an agent qualification issued by FIFA?
Of course not.
But it doesn't matter, everyone knows what is going on, this is the "unspoken rule" of football.
No one is going to bother Kaka with this.

After discussing how to terminate the contract, Debora and Lucas discussed their cooperation.
When Lucas and his current agent, La Maria, are terminated, he will sign Debora to a two-year deal.
The reason why he didn't sign for a long time is because it is unclear whether Debora will continue to be an agent after two years.
Debora confessed to Lucas about her plan and hid nothing.
This is, of course, to allow the two sides to work better together.
However, when Lucas heard the news, he actually sighed in his heart, feeling a little sorry for the glory.
It seems that this beautiful agent still doesn't plan to stay......
Lucas has little to say about the two-year period.
Debora also assured Lucas that no matter what she thinks in the future, she will arrange Lucas's affairs before leaving, and promise to find him a better agent. She has been in the agent circle for a long time now, and she has also met many famous agents, and has established her own network and resources.
Debora also pledged to bring in no less than two million euros in pre-tax endorsement income for Lucas within the first year.
This can be regarded as guaranteeing Lucas's rights and interests.
Lucas couldn't be more satisfied with the result.
In fact, without these guarantees, he is willing to choose Debola.
He believed in Debora because he believed in glory.
As a good friend of his own, Rongguang will never cheat himself.
Finally, he took the initiative to raise his glass and took the lead in toasting.
Glory and Debora raised the juice in their hands and toasted with Lucas.
"Happy working together!"
"It's a pleasure to work with."
