MTL - Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs-Chapter 410 misfortune
At this time, Ronaldo was on vacation at the beach with his girlfriend. Seeing that it was Mendez's call, Ronaldo, who knew that the other party must have something wrong, picked it up immediately.
"Jorge, what's the matter?"
"Chris, the president of Real Madrid, Florentino, is going to buy you. Jose and I just finished a meeting with him, and he is going to offer 150 million euros to Crystal Palace."
"One hundred and fifty million euros?"
Ronaldo was also taken aback by this number.
"Yes, Florentino entrusted me to negotiate with Crystal Palace Club, so I'll call and ask you what you think."
"Thinking? What can I think? This kind of thing is not something I can decide. I just renewed my contract with Crystal Palace Club last year. If the boss doesn't nod, I can't go anywhere."
"Besides, although Real Madrid is very good, Crystal Palace is not bad. Besides, I am staying here very well and the owner takes good care of me. So if you ask me what I mean, I prefer to stay at Crystal Palace. ."
"Cough, Chris, I need to remind you one thing: if you join Real Madrid, not only will your salary increase significantly, but you will also get a large signing fee."
Mendez throws a sugar-coated cannonball.
".Jorge, don't tempt me. Didn't I say it just now, I don't care about this matter. If you can convince the boss to let me go, I will agree to transfer to Real Madrid club, that's it Bar?"
After being silent for a while, Ronaldo still did not directly reject Mendes' temptation.
After got Ronaldo's acquiescence, Mendes called Chen Ran.
At this time, Chen Ran had left Shencheng with Cheryl and started to travel around the country.
"Jorge, isn't your call because Real Madrid wants to introduce Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka?"
Chen Ran is too lazy to go around in circles with Mendes, so if you have this time, it is better to spend a little more time with Cheryl.
"Hahahaha, Chen, I can't hide anything from you."
Mendes, this old fox, is very thick-skinned, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all when Chen Ran directly pierces his purpose.
"Chen, to tell you the truth, after you rejected Real Madrid's previous inquiry, President Florentino personally adjusted his strategy."
"Now, they have given up the plan to introduce Messi and Kaka, and only plan to buy Chris alone."
"Furthermore, Chairman Florentino made an offer of 150 million euros to Chris. This price is more than double the current record for the highest transfer fee, how about that? Very sincere, right?"
"One hundred and fifty million euros?" Chen Ran confirmed it again with some surprise.
You know, it’s 2009 now.
In the previous life, when Ronaldo transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid, the transfer fee was only more than 90 million euros, and it did not break 100 million.
Now that Florentino is willing to offer 150 million euros for Ronaldo, Chen Ran has to admit that this guy really has the courage, no wonder he has been the president of Real Madrid for so many years.
"That's right, Chen, as long as you nod your head, the 150 million euros are yours."
…
At this moment, Mendes, who was far away in Spain, was looking forward to it, anxious, and a little excited.
If Chen Ran on the opposite side agrees to the transfer, then he will personally facilitate the birth of a new world's highest transfer fee.
This will not only bring him huge fame, but also a huge commission income.
However, Chen Ran's reply soon shattered all his hopes.
"Jorge, tell Chairman Florentino for me to thank him for his high regard for Chris. However, Chris is not for sale by Crystal Palace Club. I hope Chris can play at Crystal Palace Club until he retires."
Chen Ran's words immediately made Mendes feel dark.
"Mr. Chen, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can actually continue to negotiate. Chairman Florentino has always been generous, you should know this."
Mendez, who was splashed with a basin of cold water on his head, was still doing his last effort with some reluctance.
"Forget it, Jorge, it's not about money. I want to accompany Cheryl, let's talk about that today."
When Mendes reported Chen Ran's rejection to Florentino again, Florentino's face was so gloomy that he was dripping with water.
Announcing his return by bringing in top-level superstars, which was a plan that Florentino had made long ago.
But this plan, which is now hitting a wall here at Crystal Palace again and again, makes Florentino very unhappy.
"Jorge, Cristiano Ronaldo is your client, can't you let him take the initiative to request a transfer from Crystal Palace Club?"
"Mr. Chairman, it's not that I didn't persuade Chris. But the Chinese man has always been good to him, and the relationship between the two is also very good. Chris is not willing to destroy the relationship between him and Chen Ran."
"Chris said that if Crystal Palace is willing to let go, he is happy to join us in Real Madrid. If Crystal Palace does not let go, then he has no choice."
Worried that Florentino was angry, and then angered his Mendes, he quickly tried to divert the attention of the other party.
"Mr. Chairman, in fact, it is not only Crystal Palace that has top stars. In fact, there is another candidate who is more suitable for our Real Madrid club."
"Oh? Jorge, what do you recommend?"
Florentino's self-cultivation is very good, he controlled his emotions in time, and then walked down the steps given by Mendes.
"Barcelona's main center, Yin Blahimovic, can now be said to be a well-deserved world's number one center. If we can dig him out, it will definitely be an earth-shattering big deal."
Hearing the name of Yin Blahimovic, Florentino's glasses lit up.
That's right, if Yin Blahimovic can be poached, it will be the same as when he was first elected president of Real Madrid, Figo was poached from Barcelona, and the explosive power is comparable to a nuclear bomb.
However, Florentino also quickly discovered a fatal problem and quickly calmed down.
"Jorge, your idea is very good. However, Barcelona will definitely not let people go, especially to Real Madrid."
…
"Haha, Mr. Chairman, have you forgotten who Yinbrahimovich's agent is? That guy Layinola who is open to money, as long as the money is in place, he will handle the rest for us. "
"Besides, even if we failed to introduce Inbrahimovic in the end, after Layinola's tossing, the Barcelona club must be in a mess. For us Real Madrid, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. thing."
Thinking of Lainola's appalling reputation, Florentino couldn't help showing a knowing smile at this time.
"Very well, Jorge, I'll leave this matter to you."
After leaving Florentino's office, Mendez approached Mourinho immediately and gave an update on the situation.
"Yin Blahimovic? He is good. But Real Madrid now has Benzema and Yin Guain, and there is no shortage of people in the center position."
Mourinho frowned slightly, obviously not keen on the introduction of Yin Blahimovic.
"Ahem, Jose, the reason why I proposed to introduce Yin Blahimovic was to distract Florentino from angering me for not being able to buy Chris."
"On the other hand, it is also to cause some trouble for the Barcelona club. From the current point of view, Guardiola has adjusted this Barcelona well. Next season, your Real Madrid wants to compete with them for the La Liga title. ."
"However, as long as they have internal chaos, then Real Madrid will have a much greater chance of winning the title. In this way, your position as head coach can be more stable."
Mendez smiled and told Mourinho proudly about his plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"I see."
Mourinho nodded, and he reacted quickly.
Introducing Yin Blahimovic is secondary, messing up Barcelona is the main purpose.
"But, Jorge, how can you be sure that Yin Blahimovic will definitely fight with FC Barcelona in order to transfer to Real Madrid?"
"Hahahaha, Jose, you forgot who Yin Blahimovic's manager is?"
"Agent? You mean that Layinola who only has money in his eyes?" Layinola's chubby face immediately appeared in Mourinho's mind.
"That's right. Layinola may not really want Yin Blahimovic to move to Real Madrid, but he will definitely use this opportunity to ask Barcelona for a sky-high contract extension."
"Well, this is indeed what that guy will do." Mourinho also agreed with Mendes' judgment.
"According to the way that guy Lainola acts, he will definitely open his mouth for this contract extension. After all, Yinbrahimovic's two-year performance from Crystal Palace to Barcelona has been very good, which makes Layin Ola is more confident to ask for a price."
"But the price offered by Layinola is estimated to be difficult for the Barcelona club to accept. Because they have to consider the salary structure of the entire team, if they agree to Yinblahimovic's request for a salary increase, then other players will definitely There will be a similar pattern.”
…
"With Layinola's usual method, if the Barcelona club does not agree to his request, he is likely to instigate Yin Blahimovic to make trouble, and then there will be a good show."
"So, what we have to do is to help Lainola light the fire, and then put some gasoline on the fire. As for what action to take later, it will be decided according to the situation."
Watching Mourinho nod again and again, Mendes sighed inwardly.
In fact, having said so much, the most fundamental reason is that he does not want to have a direct conflict with Chen Ran.
In Mendez's view, Chen Ran will be a pivotal top figure in world football for many years to come.
Although there is no way to become a close partner with Chen Ran for various reasons, he is absolutely unwilling to become Chen Ran's enemy.
As for persuading Florentino and Mourinho to bring in Imbrahimovic, it was just an expedient measure for him.
Chen Ran's side, after hanging up Mendez's phone, he reminded the little fat Luis to pay attention to the movements of Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, and then took Cheryl to continue to play around the country.
But he is already well-known in China now, and with a dazzling Cheryl by his side, he has become the center of attention wherever he goes, and requests for autographs and photos are endless.
The two were afraid of being told that they were playing big names and did not dare to refuse easily. In desperation, Chen Ran and Cheryl had to change their itinerary and flew to Hawaii from China.
Just when Chen Ran was on vacation, the European transfer market once again ushered in an annual lively moment.
Because Liverpool Club was banned from transfer by UEFA, another local tyrant team, Manchester City, went out to scavenge goods, which is particularly attractive.
They first spent 25.5 million pounds to introduce Argentine striker Tevez from city rival Manchester United.
Then he bought Togo striker Adebayor and Ivorian defender Kolo Toure from Arsenal for £25 million and £17 million respectively.
This is not over, they also bought England defender Scott from Everton for £24 million and Paraguay striker Santa Cruz from Blackburn for £17 million.
Not only that, but they also brought in England midfielder Barry from Aston Villa for £12 million, and Brazilian defender Sylvinho on a free transfer from Barcelona.
If you count the investment last season, the Abu Dhabi consortium has invested more than 300 million pounds in the more than one year of joining the Manchester City Club.
And several other traditional Premier League teams seem to have no big moves this summer.
Manchester United just bought Ecuadorian winger Valencia from Wigan Athletic for 17 million pounds, and then introduced England striker Michael Owen from Newcastle United on a free transfer.
Chelsea's biggest effort was to spend 18 million pounds to introduce Russian defender Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow.
Then he bought England striker Sturridge from Manchester City for £5 million and Serbian midfielder Matic from Kosice for £1.5 million.
Arsenal, as always, makes money through the transfer market.
They haven't brought in any players other than Belgian defender Vermaelen from Ajax for £11 million.
If you include Adebayor and Kolo Toure, who they sold to Manchester City at a high price, Arsenal netted nearly £30 million this summer.
After having a good time, Chen Ran finally returned to London with Cheryl.
At this time, an explosive news shocked the entire football world.
