Signing Fee

Hans quickly printed out the lease contract, bound it together, and handed it to Maher and Gilbert.

It clearly stated the bonus and salary clauses that Hans had just mentioned, as well as some other details.

Maher looked at it carefully to make sure he was not deceived.

It was not that he did not trust Arsenal and Sheffield United, but mainly because he still found it hard to believe that his identity had changed twice in one day.

From a trial player to a youth player, and from a youth player to a first-team member!

He also received a loan from a Championship team!

His hands trembled slightly, and he was surrounded by surprise and happiness.

Only a fool would not sign this contract...

Even though he still had a more severe pressure to improve his strength, even though he had just decided to add training in crossing skills and dribbling skills.

But, earning 800 pounds a week to improve his proficiency at the Colney training base, and earning 2,500 pounds a week to improve his proficiency at the Championship first team Sheffield United.

Anyone would choose it.

He didn't have the extravagant hope of playing in the English Championship right after he arrived. People should not be too ambitious, otherwise it will only add to their unhappiness.

"I will slowly adapt to it after I get there, and work hard to improve my proficiency in various skills in private."

Mael looked through the contract and made a decision in his heart: "The first goal is to be selected into the team's main competition list and experience the professional arena up close."

He was not in a hurry, and the proficiency panel was his greatest confidence.

As long as he can ensure self-discipline and dedication, he will continue to improve, and he will get a chance sooner or later!

"Hmm..."

Mael's hand suddenly rested on his chin, and he acted like a star negotiating: "Please tell Sheffield United that I hope I can get a basic weekly salary of 4,000 pounds. 2,500 pounds does not meet my expectations."

Gilbert turned his head suddenly and widened his eyes.

Hans was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his right hand with a speechless expression and pointed to the door.

"Hahahaha..." The three of them laughed together.

As they laughed, the smiles in their eyes became less. Although they still laughed, their minds had already wandered elsewhere.

Hans was proud that the U17 team he led could produce two players on loan from the Championship, and he patted their shoulders lovingly.

Maher and Gilbert were more about accepting their upcoming loan. They were excited and looking forward to going to a professional team, but also nervous about the uncertainty.

"Okay."

Hans smiled with relief and got back to the point: "From the youth team to the first team, and from the first team to Sheffield United on loan, these two "transfers" will have a signing fee.

"The bonus for the first team in the youth training contract is not included in this signing fee. This is your extra income, and Arsenal and Sheffield will pay it immediately.

"As for the use, I won't say much, I just hope you can use it in the right way and buy yourself a good place to live in Sheffield."

Maher and Gilbert didn't say anything, but just stared at Hans with bright eyes, looking forward to the amount of the signing fee.

They are not qualified to negotiate with the club yet. It is also their first time to do this and they don't understand the ins and outs of it.

So the club can only propose and they will accept.

"The two sums add up to 50,000 pounds each."

Hans held out five fingers, did a simple calculation and then said: "After paying taxes, you will get 30,000 pounds. This includes the 40,000 pounds rental fee paid by Sheffield United to the club and the 60,000 pounds added by the club."

"No need to say anything."

Gilbert suddenly stood up, as if he was afraid that Hans would go back on his word, and quickly stretched out his right hand: "Happy cooperation."

Maher also got up quickly, he was about to smile from ear to ear, "Sign quickly."

......

After completing the contract, Maher and Gilbert only had half a day to pack and prepare.

After walking out of the administrative building, the two smiled at each other, and without saying much, they walked towards their dormitories.

There are still many days to get along in the future, so it is better to settle everything as soon as possible and set off tomorrow.

At night, Maher packed all his luggage and then strolled through the Kearney training base, looking at the place where he had stayed for several months.

Once he left this time, he would most likely never come back.

As long as people have shed sweat in a place for a long time and experienced the ups and downs of life, they will definitely have feelings for a place.

Not to mention, Maher got the biggest turn in his life here and really changed his fate.

The reluctance to leave, this moment surged into Maher's heart.

Most of the time, compared to leaving painfully, leaving happily will make people feel nostalgic.

Because in the former, you leave painful memories in a place, while in the latter, on the contrary, he leaves the best and most exciting moments here.

"Leon, why did you hang up so quickly?"

Dialing his uncle's phone, Maher chose to share his joy during the day with his family, and also diluted the reluctance at the moment. A hearty voice came from the other side, "Is there anything else good?"

It seems that they have not yet come out of the joy of 'nephew getting 800 pounds a week'.

For an ordinary family that has been raising four children.

It is indeed a great joy for a child to earn enough to support himself and occasionally help the family with the sports he likes.

"A little bit."

Mael chuckled, feeling the emotions transmitted from the other side, his voice trembled a little: "Sheffield United wants to rent me, and just signed the contract this afternoon.

"The weekly salary has become 2,500 pounds, and there are various bonuses, as well as a considerable signing fee. I will send 3,000 pounds back home first, and you can buy something for my little sister and the family. This time, there is no chance to come back even at Christmas."

There is no winter break in the British professional league. On Christmas Day, there is usually a "Boxing Day" battle.

Then January is another month with a busy schedule, which is the most laborious league in the world.

"2,500 pounds per week? ! After paying taxes, it should be... 1,500 pounds, 52 weeks a year..."

Uncle's voice also trembled, he swallowed deeply, "Leon, don't lie to me, is all this true? ? "

"Mael's call?"

"Brother! Brother!"

There was a noise from the other end of the phone, it seemed that aunt and younger sister were crowded next to uncle.

"It's true, and it's not the end."

Mael took a deep breath and said, "If you can play 10 times for Sheffield, you will have a weekly salary of 8k, and 20 times will be 20k."

"Oh...!"

The other side seemed to be about to faint, and after a churning voice: "Leon, supporting you in playing football is really my greatest luck in this life. Uncle often feels guilty for not giving you the best conditions, but fortunately you are fighting for yourself, you must keep up the good work!

"First take care of yourself, then think about family matters. I'm very... very grateful that you still think about us. If there is a competition, you must tell us in advance!"

The aunt and the little sister over there seemed to be anxious, and kept asking the uncle what happened and why he said so much.

Until the uncle explained the whole story to them, the aunt seemed to be in a state of sudden downtime, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Only the little sister Ava was simple-minded, she just felt happy, jumping and laughing: "Brother is great, brother is going to buy me pizza!"

Mael listened to the voice on the other end, smiled knowingly, and was extremely happy.

Giving made him feel that he was truly living in this world.

Tomorrow, set off!
