"Rinardo, is the club in negotiations for renewal with Gao's agent?" Sampdoria's sports director Sencibilai appeared in Zagramora's office and asked this question.

"Yes, the talk is underway, and the progress is going well at the moment." Zagramora replied with a smile, which made him very happy.

"That's strange..." Sensibilai pondered.

"What's strange?" Zagramora asked curiously when he saw the sports director's appearance.

"I just received a call from Braida." Sensibilai said with a frown.

"Acc Milan's sports director? What did he call to do? Does he want to send Casano back?"

"No." Sencibilai shook his head, "He asked us if we could sell high..."

Hearing this, Zagra Mora immediately understood why Sencibilai felt strange: "Do you think Gao's agent is using AC Milan to put pressure on us to fight for better conditions for Gao?"

"Yes, I have this guess."

This can be regarded as one of the means for agents to raise their players, and the one who uses this method the most amazingly should be Raiola.

If Gao Zheng's agent was Raiola, then Sensibilai probably wouldn't come to Zagramora to confirm, and he could determine that there must be Raiola's shadow behind Braida's phone call. After all, the fat man is now a guest of honor for Galliani.

"But this is unlikely. We and his agent have basically negotiated the salary and bonuses and other benefits. At this time, we come to AC Milan to put pressure on us. What other effects can we do in addition to making us hate him?" Zagramora thought for a while and shook his head. "I think a high agent is not like an idiot. In the process of negotiating with us, he not only fights for his players, but also does not act as greedy as some agents. He can always find a delicate balance between the two. To be honest, I have a good impression of him."

"That's why I'm surprised." Sensibilai rubbed his chin. "We can't just go and ask Gao or that agent..."

"Of course, even if they answer, you may not believe their answer. Maybe they will be considered offensive to them." Zagramora made the final decision. "Don't worry about AC Milan and tell Braida that Gao is our non-sale product, so don't think about his idea. Anyway, we will complete the contract renewal with Gao."

"Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng!" Gao Zheng's apartment door was knocked, accompanied by the shouts of Andre Viviano throughout the corridor.

In fact, even if Gao Zheng had never exposed him to rent a house here, there were probably not many people in the building who didn’t know that Gao Zheng was their neighbor…

In order not to let Viviano continue to promote this, Gao Zheng almost flew from the sofa to the door. He opened the door and pulled Viviano in, and then closed the door with a bang. The whole process was smooth and it took less than two seconds.

"Andre, I remember you have my phone number? Can't you call directly if you have anything?" Gao Zheng glared at his agent.

However, Viviano did not seem to care about Gao Zheng’s complaints to him at all, but said to him with a smile: “Because I must tell you personally about this matter, I want to see your expression in person!”

"What's the matter?" Gao Zheng frowned.

"I received a call, guess who called it?"

"How do I know!"

"It's Braida! AC Milan's sports director Braida!" Viviano's excited smile was a little distorted.

Gao Zheng was stunned.

"Hahaha! Do you know why he called? He actually asked me if you want to go to AC Milan, hahahaha!"

Viviano smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth. In order not to fall, he found the sofa and sat down and continued to smile.

Seeing him like this, Gao Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Acc Milan is actually interested in me?"

"Are you surprised or surprised?" Viviano pointed at Gao Zheng and smiled.

"This is really..." Gao Zheng himself didn't know what to say.

"So AC Milan thought you really had a deep relationship with them. When you heard the call from your old club, you couldn't wait to respond to the call?" Viviano teased.

He knew why Gao Zheng disappeared from the AC Milan youth training camp Vismara.

That day, why did you get out after 40 minutes? It was because you had just signed the contract that Viviano made a request that surprised Gao Zheng, he wanted to know why Gao Zheng left AC Milan.

"You said you'll tell me when I become your agent."

Gao Zheng was very surprised at that time. He didn't expect that Viviano would remember it when he said casually, and he didn't expect that Viviano would care so much about this matter.

So later Gao Zheng told Viviano everything about what happened after he was injured in AC Milan.

After knowing the story behind this, how could Viviano not know Gao Zheng’s attitude towards AC Milan?

Hearing Viviano say this, Gao Zheng waved his hand quickly: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, I always have a special relationship with Milan..."

"It's the kind of 'special' relationship that you want to kill them no matter what, right?" Viviano hit the nail on the head and did not give Gao Zheng a chance to pretend.

Gao Zheng changed the topic: "So you came to me to tell me about this?"

"Of course, how can you not share such an interesting thing with you in person?"

"Why do I always think you are here to watch a joke?"

Viviano smiled and said, "I am a professional, how could I come to see you for a joke?"

"That's not what your expression says."

Viviano quickly raised his face: "I'm serious."

"Look at my joke seriously..." Gao Zheng muttered. "Okay, then how did you reply to him?"

"I didn't give him a reply."

"Eh?" Gao Zheng was a little surprised.

"We agreed, you can make an idea and I will give you advice." Viviano's expression was really serious this time.

When he signed the contract, this was the agreement between him and Gao Zheng and the gentleman did not include it in the contract, but this was the basis for their cooperation.

"Yes...so you came to ask me for my opinion?"

Viviano nodded.

"But you actually know what I think..."

"Then I have to listen to you tell me in person. Otherwise, what if you change your mind again?"

Gao Zheng smiled.

This is why he chose Viviano as his agent.

You can usually make jokes, but when it comes to serious things, you have a professional attitude, keep your promises, and respect the players' opinions.

For Gao Zheng, this is the quality of the agent he values. As for whether he is famous or not, he doesn't care. Whether his business ability is strong, he thinks that as long as he is a qualified agent, he has basic business level. Moreover, he can use his performance on the field to make up for some of the shortcomings of the agent's business ability. To put it bluntly, as long as his strength is strong enough, all conditions are easy to discuss.

He hopes that he can be friends with his agent, rather than a simple businessman or an enemy who is guarding against each other, so that it will be meaningless.

Viviano's performance made him feel that his vision was not wrong.

"Well, Andre, tell AC Milan, thank you for your interest in me, but I'm very comfortable in Sampdoria and don't want to go back to Milan again."

"Okay." Viviano did not persuade Gao Zheng to consider it anymore, nor did he remind Gao Zheng not to say anything. What if everyone will see each other again in the future? He just agreed and said nothing nonsense.

Gao Zheng asked again: "How is the matter of renewal negotiations?"

"It went very smoothly. The negotiations have been almost done. I guess you will be able to sign the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?" Gao Zheng was surprised.

"I just said that Sampdoria actually always wanted to renew her contract with you, but you don't have an agent, and you didn't propose a contract renewal, so they don't know what you mean... I didn't fight for you for a maximum salary. With Sampdoria's current financial situation, the maximum salary is meaningless. Your captain has such a high status in the minds of fans, and he gets a maximum salary of 1.8 million. The club is thinking all day long about how to make him cut his salary. If he doesn't want to cut his salary, then sell him..."

"He is our captain. The team didn't leave when it was relegated. Now he is going to be sold?" Gao Zheng was a little confused.

"In the face of economic interests, loyalty and status are all empty. And haven't you noticed that now Palonbo is slowly unable to fight. Obiang is the main force that cannot be defeated, and Costic has more and more opportunities to play." Viviano curled his lips.

Gao Zheng combined what he saw in the team and said nothing.

※※※

Viviano was right. The next day, Gao Zheng received a call and said that he could sign the contract extension tomorrow.

Viviano fought for Gao Zheng with a four-year contract with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan after tax. In addition to salary, there are some very detailed bonus content, such as how many bonuses are there for the number of appearances to reach twenty times, how many bonuses are there for the number of appearances to reach thirty times, and in addition, there are goals prizes. As Gao Zheng's agent, Viviano will get a commission of 10% from this signing fee, and Gao Zheng's usual salary and bonuses will not be awarded.

Gao Zheng currently earns only 60,000 euros in the club, which can be said to be a very small one. However, in the reserve team, it is almost at this level of contract. For example, Nenald Kostic, who is also in the first team, is the salary. He and Gao Zheng were teammates in the reserve team.

In fact, when Gao Zheng helped the reserve team win the championship last season and was promoted to the first team, he could sign a contract with the club again. However, Gao Zheng had no agent at that time, and he himself had no experience in this area, so he never mentioned this matter at all.

At that time, Sampdoria Club had just been relegated, and the financial damage was severe. It was too late to sell people to reduce their salary, and it would not take the initiative to raise the salary of a young player who had not proved himself in the first team.

Now with Gao Zheng's performance in the first team, it would be too unreasonable to get an annual salary of 60,000. The media still don't know. If the media broke the news about this, fans would probably scold the club to death.

So Viviano is right, Sampdoria Club is actually happy to give Gao Zheng a new contract.

Given Sampdoria's current situation, even if the 600,000 euros are not the maximum salary, it is still a lot.

"Gao rejected us?!" Galliani was surprised by the result.

"Yes...his agent said thanks for our favor, but he is comfortable in Sampdoria now and is not willing to go back to Milan..." Braida repeated the original text of Viviano's words to Galliani.

"Where is Sampdoria?"

"Sencibilai said Gao is their non-sale product..."

"Where is half the ownership?"

“Half ownership is not sold.”

"You didn't tell them that we could add other good young players to the trade..."

"Uh... Sencibilai said they don't need vouchers."

Galliani didn't say anything for a long time, and her brows were always frowning, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.

It took him a long time to say to Braida: "Then let's wait until the end of the season. If Sampdoria cannot upgrade smoothly, I believe the confidence of the Garone family will not be so strong."

Braida nodded and echoed: "That's right. Their financial situation will continue to deteriorate by then. They need to sell players in exchange for funds, and at the same time, more new players will join and improve their strength... That will be a good opportunity."

"That's it." Galliani waved.

After Braida left, he leaned on the back of the chair tiredly and reached out to pinch the bones of the nose.

He really wanted to scold Gary now. A small problem with the youth training supervisor has now become a situation where he and Braida need to wipe his butt.

But if the Chairman hadn't introduced his daughter to the club's board of directors, how could he use this butt to wipe it?

Galliani, who has worked hard for Milan and the Berlusconi family for twenty-six years, had a vague premonition. He had encountered many storms and waves, and even he survived the "phone door" and still stood firm in Milan.
