King Of World Football

Chapter 14: This is a professional player

"Anderlecht Club offers the highest salary, but their striker competition is very tense, with strong competitors such as Jan Kohler and Zevorakov."

"I don't think this is a good choice, because they may just want to buy you as a second-team player, and they will not value you until a few years later," Francisco Balmond calmly analysed.

"Beyond that, it's the same situation with Club Brugge and Standard Liege, so we have to think carefully."

As Balmond spoke, he spread out the information to Wang Feng. The information included the contacts of various clubs, salary quotations, striker reserves, and some special terms.

Among them, the information of Genk Club attracted Wang Feng's attention, and he asked in surprise: "Can Genk guarantee my playing time?"

Francisco Balmond replied: "Yes, I am working with these clubs. During the contact process, they will reveal a bit more, that is, you are more inclined to play."

"So Genk Club proposed this clause. They are willing to guarantee playing time in the contract. To be honest, their striker problem is really serious."

Bamond went on to introduce: "Since they stumbled to win the championship last season, injuries have always been their big problem. The main forward was injured for the season, and the substitute was also injured. At present, they can only draw people from the youth training team."

"But in order to maintain the championship line-up, they have to keep high salaries, so they have no extra ability to choose famous forwards in the free market. They can only bet on you as an immediate combat power."

After hearing this, Wang Feng couldn't help hesitating. For a team with a problematic capital chain, can it really play well? Francisco Balmond explained with a smile: "Teams in the second-tier European leagues have their own way of survival. Even if they have difficulties in operation, they will not affect normal operations."

"And they will definitely reorganize this season. If your performance is good enough, next season will certainly focus on you. This is an opportunity."

"Since this is the case, there are not many choices, sir." Wang Feng said helplessly: "I am still too young, and a team like Anderlecht will absolutely not regard me as the core. If I want to make a difference, Genk is the best choice."

Balmond nodded and said: "That's true. In terms of salary, Genk gave a weekly salary of 1,000 euros after tax in the first year, and then increased year by year according to performance. This is only half of Anderlecht."

1,000 euros a week, wouldn't it be enough to pay off the loan for going abroad in one week?

Seeing Wang Feng's bright eyes, Balmond said helplessly: "This is already a very low level. Genk's head star has a weekly salary of 20,000 euros, so I will continue to negotiate with the club."

Wang Feng nodded, leaving this part to the agent, and he will concentrate on playing football. At this moment, Balmond's cell phone rang. He was a little surprised when he answered, handed the cell phone to Wang Feng, and introduced softly: "Genk's head coach Aimee Antonis, he wants to chat with you."

Wang Feng took the phone, and after the two exchanged some pleasantries, Aimee Antonis said bluntly: "Wang, come to my team, we need you, assistant coach Quick Martin has observed your playing style on the spot. I can say without exaggeration that Genk will definitely use you as the main striker."

Wang Feng said that he was honoured to be appreciated by the head coach, but he did not say that he would definitely go, but said that he would seriously consider it.

After hanging up the phone, Francisco Balmond couldn't help feeling that Genk's sincerity is quite great, "Besides, you have to buy a mobile phone. I didn't expect to have to go to the park to find you."

Wang Feng smiled awkwardly. Most of the money he earned was mailed home, leaving only the necessities for life.

The two discussed for a while before Francisco Balmond left. He was going to contact Virton's team manager to see his attitude.

Wang Feng continued his training.

Francisco Balmond's work efficiency is astonishing. In less than two days, he almost finished everything.

"I have already negotiated with both sides. Genk is willing to sign a contract with you with a weekly salary of 1,500 euros, and pay Virton 50,000 euros to buy out your youth training contract."

"They will write in the contract that you will be guaranteed at least 45 minutes of playing time," Balmond added: "But you have to play in January next year, because the Belgian Football Association stipulates that players transfer will open in the winter transfer window. You can only register after that, and before that you will train with the team."

"Okay." Wang Feng shrugged helplessly. If he couldn't compete for a month, he could bear it. "Does that mean I'm leaving Virton for Genk?"

Balmond said: "Yes, we'd better leave tomorrow, Virton's affairs have been dealt with, and now you only have to go to Genk to sign the contract."

Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He was uneasy to leave Virton, where he had lived for several months, and leave his coaches and teammates and meet unknown challenges. After all, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy.

Thinking of his ever-improving football skills and determination to earn a lot of money, Wang Feng's uneasy heart gradually calmed down, so he said, "Okay, let's go to Genk tomorrow!"

That night, Wang Feng invited Virton's players to have dinner with the coaching staff, and informed them of his departure from the team. The head coach Mette Magritte already knew, and he was actually very reluctant. However, he also knew that Wang Feng would never be trapped in a small team like Virton, so he looked away, but he still despised the team manager for letting Wang Feng go with only 50,000 euros.

"He will definitely regret it very much in the future." Magritte said avowedly.

Faced with his first friend Renee who came to Belgium, Wang Feng's eyes were red, and Renee hugged the little brother, and then said with relief: "This is what it is to be a professional player, Wang."

Then he smiled and said, "I'll go to Genk to visit you in the future. Genk is a big city, not as remote as Virton."

The crowd didn't dissipate until late at night, and early the next morning, Wang Feng left with his agent, starting a new journey of his career.

Genk is located in the northeast of Belgium and is famous for its marshes and beautiful forests. It is one of the most important industrial cities in Flanders, Belgium. Travelling through the city in a car, Wang Feng looked at the scenery on the street curiously. Medieval buildings and modern buildings are mixed together, giving people a magical sense of crossing into a different epoch.

Francisco Balmond enthusiastically introduced: "Genk is an ancient industrial town. It has a long history and a strong modern industry. If you like to play, you can go to Bo Clark, have a look, it's a rare open-air museum."

When they arrived at Genk club, the team manager was already waiting in the office. The two sides conducted a simple signing, no reporters, and no ceremony.

But Wang Feng is already very satisfied, because he got a signing fee of 10,000 euros, which is a huge sum of money for him. The head coach of the team, Aimee Antonis, also took the time to meet with him, had a brief chat and left in a hurry. The team's current record is not good, and he still has a lot of things to do.
