The problem of labour permits is very serious.

Diego Costa had never been in the Brazilian national team, not even in the youth teams at all levels. He was a person who had no experience in the national team. There was no way he could get an Englishman’s Certificate by any proper means, and there were only two paths ahead of him.

The first is to acquire Spanish nationality.

Obviously, this was also very, very difficult!

The conditions for acquiring Spanish citizenship are very harsh, Either one of your parents was born in Spain, or I was born in Spain, or legally resided in Spain for more than five years, or legally resided in Spain for two years, But of Latin American origin, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal or Spanish descent, or born in Spain to an orphan with an uncertain parental relationship, or adopted by a Spaniard who is under the age of 18, or legally residing in Spain for one year, married to a Spaniard …

Anyway, naturalizing Spanish nationality was a very complicated matter!

Diego Costa has only been in Spain for two years and it is difficult to apply for a place in the Spanish national team based on the number of years he has lived there.

There are only two things Diego Costa can do now. One is ask his parents in Brazil to check the genealogy to see if their ancestors were Portuguese or Hispanic.

This one could actually be forged, but if it was discovered, there would be endless troubles in the future!

The second is that Diego Costa should get married to a Spanish girl and then be able to take Spanish citizenship. The second is clearly much safer.

However, this second rule concerns Diego Costa’s private life, and he may not be willing to do so.

Diego Costa’s naturalization as a Spanish citizen is the only two best practices.

Jorge Mendes briefed Zhong Cheng on the conditions for applying for Spanish citizenship. In fact, applying for Spanish citizenship was much more complicated than what Jorge Mendes had summarized, because there were other subsidiary conditions.

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and said, “In other words, Diego Costa can hardly get Spanish citizenship now?”

Jorge Mendes immediately nodded and said, “It is indeed quite difficult to take the legal path. Of course, one of them is something we can do!”

Of course, Zhong Cheng knew which one Jorge Mendes was talking about!

Zhong Cheng immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, no, that would cause too much trouble. In the future, our Leeds United will be implicated. It’s not good to fake it!”

Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Jorge Mendes nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhong Cheng.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly said: “Boss, we can go through special channels. Every Premier League team can apply for a special talent clause every year. With the application of a special talent, Diego can join us without a work permit!”

Jorge Mendes immediately nodded his head. He thought the same!

Of course, if Diego Costa could get the Special Genius Clause, would all these questions be a problem?

However, the premise was that it would be difficult for Diego Costa to pass the Special Genius Clause.

One is that Diego Costa is already 20 years old, and the other is that Diego Costa hasn’t had a particularly impressive performance so far.

Almost all of the people who received the Special Genius Regulations were younger and had their own representatives.

And Diego Costa doesn’t!

If Diego Costa could barely make it through to the Special Genius Act.

Zhong Cheng told Jorge Mendes about the requirements for applying for the Special Genius Ordinance, and then said, “In short, the Special Genius Ordinance is very difficult to pass. Previously, Luka Modric almost failed, and Yaya Touré also failed. It is almost impossible for Diego Costa to pass!”

Jorge Mendes said, “Mr. Loria, you’ve probably underestimated your influence. I think there’s still hope for the application for the Special Genius Act!”

Zhong Cheng stared at Jorge Mendes without saying anything.

“Everyone in the world knows that you, Jorge Mendes, are looking for talented young players. All the young players you’ve dug up before have become stars. The people you look up to mean he’s a talented new star. With you testifying for Mr. Loria, I believe the English Football Team will have to think about it!” Diego Costa said immediately.

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly. Jorge Mendes still underestimated the FA and misjudged the relationship between him and the FA!

His relationship with the FA is not as good as Jorge Mendes thought.

Jorge Mendes added: “And I, Jorge Mendes, have a place in world football. Young people who we both value can be called young geniuses.”

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded from the side, agreeing with Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes continued: “When the time comes, I will be looking for famous football figures like José Mourinho to testify against Diego Costa. I believe the Football Association will pass the application of the Diego Costa’s Special Genius Ordinance.”

After saying that, Jorge Mendes stared at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng was thinking about Jorge Mendes’s proposal. To be honest, the Special Genius Ordinance was neither good nor good. It was mainly due to the attitude of the Football Association. They believed that you were a special genius and that you were a special genius.

As long as Jorge Mendes can take care of the FA, it is also possible for Diego Costa to get a special talent clause.

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, “Perhaps, but there is no guarantee that it will pass. You still have to deal with this matter!”

Jorge Mendes immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Loria, I’ll take care of the FA.”

Zhong Cheng believed in Jorge Mendes’s ability.

Zhong Cheng said, “Since the issue of the Labor Certificate has been resolved, how should I solve the first issue I raised earlier?”

Jorge Mendes thought for a moment and then said, “Oh! That’s what you’re talking about. Compared to the second question, the first question is much easier to solve!”

Zhong Cheng and Cristiano Ronaldo both looked at Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: “When the time comes, I will contact Atletico Madrid.” Didn’t they want to sell Diego Costa? As the agent of Diego Costa, I would recommend Diego Costa to other clubs through my connections. At that time, Leeds United would be one of them. That means that Diego Costa is not a player that you, Mr. Loria, have taken a fancy to, but that I, Jorge Mendes, have sent him to your Leeds United team with the help of Cristiano Ronaldo!

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly.

Jorge Mendes also said: “When the time comes, I will contact Atletico Madrid, this matter, I will deal with it!”

Hearing Jorge Mendes’s words, Zhong Cheng was relieved.

For Diego Costa Zhong Cheng, he was quite important. This fellow’s physical fitness was very outstanding, his impact was very strong, his ability under his feet and on his head was not bad, and he was also a striker with outstanding comprehensive abilities. Of course, Diego Costa was still young, but Zhong Cheng firmly believed that through his training and the support of the “Super Football Training System”, Diego Costa would grow up very quickly, just like Gerald Pick and Luka Modric.

Jorge Mendes was staring at Zhong Cheng. To tell the truth, he admired Zhong Cheng very much in terms of training young players. Giving Diego Costa to Zhong Cheng was definitely Diego Costa and his luck.

Now, Jorge Mendes was waiting for Zhong Cheng’s reply.

Zhong Cheng glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo, then at Jorge Mendes.

Yes, Zhong Cheng was very optimistic about Diego Costa, but he didn’t show it on the surface. He wanted Jorge Mendes to know that he had taken Cristiano Ronaldo in for Diego Costa’s sake.

Zhong Cheng said: “Yes! We can bring in Diego Costa at Leeds United!”

A smile appeared on Jorge Mendes’s face. Today’s mission had been successfully completed.

Zhong Chengshi continued: “However, in terms of player treatment and player contracts, we may not be too high!”

Jorge Mendes frowned slightly. Zhong Cheng’s request was reasonable, but he still wanted to apply for a better treatment for Diego Costa.

Jorge Mendes immediately said: “Mr. Loria, Diego is a player with great potential!”

Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo before saying, “In this way, we can give Diego Costa a five-year contract. At the same time, I can assure you that he has a certain amount of time to play for Leeds United every year and I will try my best to nurture him.” But in terms of player treatment and transfer fees, I probably won’t pay too much!

After saying that, Zhong Cheng decided on Jorge Mendes and threw all the questions to Jorge Mendes.

What Zhong Cheng meant was that I could give Diego Costa a five-year contract for Cristiano Ronaldo and guarantee him some time to play and try to nurture him. But we don’t pay any transfer fees, and the player’s annual salary signing fee will be very, very low.

Now these questions are being handed over to Jorge Mendes.

Jorge Mendes was a little misunderstood by Zhong Cheng. He thought that Zhong Cheng did not take a fancy to Diego Costa, but decided to take Cristiano Ronaldo in for Diego Costa’s sake.

From Jorge Mendes’s point of view, it was the best choice for Diego Costa to go to Zhong Cheng’s subordinates.

At this point, Leeds United are well placed to accept Diego Costa.

Zhong Cheng also said, “You have to run away from the Labor Certificate. At that time, I will at most give you some help. More, I can’t guarantee you!”

After saying that, Zhong Cheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, letting Jorge Mendes think about it.

Jorge Mendes was carefully considering Zhong Cheng’s proposal. After a while, he said, “What kind of treatment can your club give Diego?”

Zhong said bluntly, “Diego Costa has come to Leeds United and I can only give him a base salary of £ 10, 000 a week and a salary increase of between 10% and 15% a year based on big performances. That’s what I can offer now.”

Jorge Mendes nodded slightly. To tell the truth, the salary was indeed not high. But they are paid more than the current Diego Costa.

Jorge Mendes glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo and thought for a while before agreeing to Zhong Cheng’s proposal. However, he managed to win over Diego Costa and eventually increased his salary to 12%-20%.

Zhong Cheng signed a letter of intent with Jorge Mendes, waiting for Jorge Mendes to settle everything, and then Diego Costa could join Leeds United.
