"Mark, Atletico Madrid has already looked for me. They seem to want to sign a new contract with you. What did you say to them?" Mendes called Mark not long after Mark had just left Hill's office.

"Nothing, I just explained my position and did not put any pressure on the club." Mark also told the truth: "I told them that I don't want to transfer, I want to stay with Atletico Madrid. As for what they think, I don't know."

"Then I understand. I will probably go to Madrid tonight. Leave it to me about your new contract. I think Atletico Madrid also wants to sign a new contract with you to stabilize people's hearts." Mendes hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

In the afternoon, Mark saw everyone's eyes looking at him seemed a little different. Some people's eyes were envious, while others seemed to be jealous.

"Mark, I read the newspaper and Mourinho watched the last game. Have they contacted you?" Torres and Mark were doing pass training, and then asked Mark.

"Fernando, you're so funny. What's wrong with this? Even Mourinho appeared in the last game, it might not be for me." Mark said after passing the football to Torres: "Do you still know the skills of the media? They just like to exaggerate what they don't have."

After hearing Mark's words, Torres also knew what Mark meant, because Torres had an affair with Real Madrid back then. Although Torres did not plan to transfer to Real Madrid, the media's storm also made Torres very troubled.

At that time, Torres almost became the number one public enemy of Atletico Madrid because the Atletico Madrid fans who had been hurt by Raul's transfer to Real Madrid could not stand another Golden Boy's transfer to their mortal enemy.

"Haha, I know, this matter should not be possible." Torres also smiled and passed the football to Mark: "I knew you wouldn't transfer. We were just starting out in La Liga, and you wouldn't leave."

"Tsk... why didn't you say that just now?" Mark thought to himself, but he didn't say it, but the next thing made Mark really want to beat Torres.

"Give money, give money, I'll say Mark won't leave. If you lose, give money quickly." Torres said to the Atletico Madrid players who were training behind him.

"Captain, I'll give you a chance to finish the training. You're so awesome and really understand Mark." Many Atletico Madrid players complained.

"Damn, Fernando, you actually bet on this matter. You are not very interested." Mark hooked Torres' neck and said, "Remember half of the points you win, otherwise you won't have to sleep at night. I'll call you to get up and pee tonight."

"Okay, okay, I'll just give it to you. It's only a few hundred euros anyway, and everyone is just having fun." Torres shouted loudly: "If you don't let go of me, I'll be out of breath and I won't be able to share the money for you then."

Of course, these two people were also playing tricks on the training ground. In fact, Mark didn't use much strength, and Torres obviously wouldn't die just because Mark hugged his neck.

However, Mark suddenly added a lot of Atletico Madrid fans around the training ground. These fans held signs with "Mark Stay" on it, and then waved outside the training ground, as if hoping to attract Mark's attention.

"Mark, have you seen it? How great is our fans? They are trying to keep you?" Torres said to Mark from the side: "Are you a little moved? Do you want me to lend you a tissue?"

"Okay, take off your clothes, I want a big hand towel." Mark also looked at it and joked.

However, Mark was indeed very moved. The fans of Atletico Madrid were so cute. Although Mark did not think of leaving Atletico Madrid, after these fans heard the news that Mark was going to transfer, they did what the fans should do, that is, to use their sincerity to retain Mark.

How could Mark not be moved by such sincere fans? Mark decided that he would never leave Atletico Madrid without special circumstances.

Because such fans are something Mark has never encountered before, and Mark has not taken any action to retain his transfer before, Ajax fans have become accused of people coming and going, so they will not take any action to retain any stars.

But Atletico Madrid fans are different. They do not have the tradition of selling off. If Atletico Madrid had not been relegated, they would not have become a star supermarket. Mark is a very important member of the fans' eyes.

"Mark, you said you won't leave, right?" After the training, Mark was surrounded by fans when he left the training ground. These fans surrounded him and asked Mark.

"No, I will be at Atletico Madrid next season." Mark gave a brief explanation.

Although Mark didn't say much, fans could still believe it easily. They all believed Mark's words, because players like Mark didn't have to do anything to deceive the fans. Fans were relieved when they heard Mark's promise not to transfer.

Instead of staying with the fans for too long, Mark went directly to the parking lot, got in the car, and drove back to his home.

"I'm back, where are you, my dear?" Mark returned to his home and opened the door, and began to call on Colos.

However, no one responded. At this time, a man came over. This man was Mark's football agent Mendes. Mark looked at him with a hint of excitement. Mark guessed that Mendes should have something to tell him.

"Mark, you're finally back, tell you a good thing," Mendes couldn't wait to say to Mark after he sat down.

Mark then looked at Mendes carefully. After all, Mark and Mendes had not met for a long time. Mark didn't know what Mendes did during this period. If the two of them hadn't communicated on the phone frequently, Mark even wondered if Mendes was not going to be his football agent.

"What good news has it brought to me? Is it a new contract or a new endorsement?" Mark asked after sitting down.

In Mark's impression, Mendes gave him good news that could drive economic development. It was either an advertising contract, which would definitely have a certain breakthrough with Atletico Madrid's new contract.

"You are really smart, but this time there are two good news," Mendes continued after adjusting his voice: "One is a new sponsorship contract, Nike is preparing to hire you to be an image spokesperson, and then expand them to open up the Chinese market through you."

"Nike? No?" Mark was indeed a little surprised when he heard the name Nike, because in Mark's heart, Nike's products can be said to be the number one among sports products.

If we can get Nike's contract, it will also be a great improvement in Mark's commercial value. This is really what Mark Meio thinks of.

"Why are they looking for me?" Mark asked curiously: "Aren't they already the number one sports product?"

"They are indeed the first, but there is also Adidas in the fierce competition behind Nike, and there are many brands in the Chinese market that are impacting them," Mendes explained.

"But I still have a contract with Li Ning Company. I think I can't sign a contract with Nike in a short period of time. Let's wait until the contract expires before talking." Mark thought of Li Ning Company, which sponsored him, and he felt that being a person should be a little conscientious. After all, when there was no one sponsored him, Li Ning Company extended a helping hand and provided Mark with an endorsement contract. Naturally, Mark needed to repay Li Ning Company.

"Of course, I actually want to ask for your opinion. If you want to join Nike, I can negotiate with Li Ning as your representative and then compensate them." Mendes actually had plans in his mind, but after all, a sponsorship contract like this must be confirmed by Mark himself, because Mark is the final signer. If Mark does not agree, Mendes will be in vain.

Mendes is not a small role at this time. He has successfully helped Mourinho transfer to Chelsea, and then through Mourinho's strong performance in the Premier League and the good performance of some Portuguese players in various clubs, he has also become the spokesperson for today's Portuguese football, so he still has a lot to do.

It can be said that Mendes is very busy, and Mendes doesn't have to come in person to sign new sponsorships like Mark. He only needs to send an assistant to come, but it is obvious that Mendes respects Mark very much, so he still comes in person and comes to persuade Mark himself.

Mendes knew that if Mark joined Nike, Mark's position in the endorsement industry would be very different in the future, and Mark's endorsement fee could also increase significantly in the future. In addition, we have to say that Mark's girlfriend, Koros, and Koros' modeling career are also developing rapidly.

At this time, Kroos has gradually gained recognition from everyone and has become another rising supermodel. With supermodels like Kroos helping Mark with things in the fashion circle, it would be hard for Mark to not become popular.

Before, Beckham was able to become the gold-making king in the world football world naturally had to do without Victoria's help later. This is something that needs no doubt. Mark and Colos are also a combination of golden boys and jade girls, and they are about to get married. However, although Mark cannot compare with Beckham at the moment, what matters to Mark is that he has been very close to him. Mark is only nineteen years old. It can be said that Mark is much better than when Beckham was nineteen years old.

"Then let's put this matter aside first, so let's talk about Atletico Madrid's new contract." Mendes saw that Mark had not turned around yet, so he simply changed to another topic. Anyway, the endorsement matter can be discussed at any time.

"This should be no problem, but I still have two and a half years to contract with Atletico Madrid. I shouldn't be in a hurry. Have you talked to them?" Mark asked indifferently.

"I just came back on the board of Atletico Madrid. I have already negotiated a new contract with Atletico Madrid," Mendes said proudly: "The years of this contract will be added to the previous basis for two years. There is no obvious change in salary and benefits, but there is a clause in it, that is, your company will become a maximum salary player for Atletico Madrid in the future. That is to say, your salary is 75,000 euros before tax, but once an Atletico Madrid player exceeds the maximum salary of 75,000 euros, your clause will also make you equal to the other party, which means that you can be the highest salary player of Atletico Madrid before the end of the contract."

"And in the whole team, only Torres' salary is equal to you, but because you are a foreign player, you can enjoy the Beckham clause, that is, you can enjoy the low tax protection policy, so your salary is actually a little higher than Torres," Mendes said proudly: "This is just a preliminary contact. This is an idea proposed by Atletico Madrid. I haven't agreed to them yet. I think the final contract should be slightly higher than this."

"This is already very good. You did a good job. I am quite satisfied with such a contract, but I wonder if my liquidated damages have increased?" Mark asked casually.

"It has been increased, and the amount of your liquidated damages has reached 60 million euros," Mendes said embarrassedly: "I will negotiate with them. After all, such a high liquidated damages are equivalent to binding you to Atletico Madrid. This is not possible. You should know that Zidane's transfer fee is only 75 million euros, which is indeed a bit too much."

"Okay, I'll leave all these things to you. I don't want to interfere in these things, just like that." Mark nodded and said trustworthyly to Mendes.

Anyway, Mark hired a football agent to help him solve some trivial matters outside of football matches. If Mark was worried about everything, it would be a little easier for Mendes to make money. The conversation between the two people just was just Mark expressing his attitude, which made Mendes know what Mark's attitude was, and then Mendes could continue to operate.

"Let's have a meal here tonight, and my parents are here too." After Mark finished speaking, he asked Yu Meng to wait for a while before preparing for dinner.

Mark's parents were not at home just now. They were dragged out by Colos and Sylvia to visit the scenery of Spain almost every day in the past few days, and bought some souvenirs and various gifts.

According to Mark's father Jack Ma, these souvenirs must be brought back to China. After all, Chinese people like to exchange gifts. They don't come to Mark's place to settle down. They will also have to go back after a while. When they return home, they will also bring some gifts to relatives and friends to express their friendly relations.

Interpersonal relationships depend on frequent walking. Although Jack Ma and his wife do not often live in the small town where Mark is, their relatives and friends live in the small town. Jack Ma actually has another purpose, which is to show off his son.

When Jack Ma gave gifts, others would definitely ask, how he was doing in Spain. At that time, Jack Ma could say how outstanding his son was, how filial he was, how good he was.

Chinese people are actually traditional, they all want face, and Mark is more proud of being better than Jack Ma himself. After all, parents want their children to become successful, and their children can become better is their greatest happiness.

"Mark, we are back, your wife bought us a lot of things." Not long after, Jack Ma and his group returned home. As soon as they entered the door, Jack Ma said to his son with a very happy look. This is also Jack Ma's basic expression in the past few days: "Mark, let your wife save some money. Although she is buying things for us, it is a little too expensive."

"I understand, I will tell her." Mark nodded and agreed. In fact, Mark was not ready to tell Colos, because Mark felt that if he had this ability, he should let his parents enjoy it. It didn't matter if he had the best clothes and some food, because Mark's parents were quite old, and Mark felt that he should be filial.

Mark had such an idea in China before, but Mark did not have that ability. At this time, Mark already had such ability. If Mark didn't use it, Mark would not be able to convince himself. Mark didn't want to wait until his parents left him in the future and then he would regret it.

"Dad, let me introduce it. This is my football agent. His name is Mendes." Mark introduced it and said, "Jorge, this is my father, Jack Ma, mother, Julie, this is my sister, Sylvia, my fiancée, Colos, you know me."

Mendes also shook hands with everyone one by one to show friendship. Soon a few people sat down to have dinner together, but due to language barriers, the few people just chatted briefly on the dining table, and Mark did the middle translation.

Mendes also returned to the hotel after dinner. Mark asked Mendes to stay at his house, but Mendes refused such a request. He thought it would be better not to disturb Mark's private life.

"Mark, there is one thing I want to tell you. This time your mother and I are leaving. We want to go to the United States to see Momo. I don't know what happened to her father. This child is also very hard-working," Jack Ma said to Mark.
