Chapter 1177 This Turning Relationship...

Niang offered Mendes a commission of 200 million pounds, asking Mendes to help Pepe transfer to Liverpool.The commission will be paid to Mendes when the two parties negotiate their individual contracts.Moreover, this commission is not included in the normal transfer fee commission, so it will not affect Mendes to get another share of the money.

But Mendes disagreed. He believed that the commission was too small given his own status, Pepe's status, and the difficulty of the transfer.

"Jose likes Pepe very much. Pepe is Jose's main central defender, and he is not only useful in the central defender position, he can also play as a midfielder to contain Messi...so if you want Pepe Pey left Real Madrid, Jose couldn't get around it, and you know, Lu. Jose is a very stubborn person..."

The address has changed from "Mr. Lu" to "Lu". It can be seen that Mendes' attitude has changed when it comes to key issues.

However, his cunning businessman characteristics still let him continue to bargain.

Niang sneered in his heart, if Mourinho couldn't avoid it, would you talk to me about this?It is clearly to raise the price.

The commission of 200 million is indeed not low. The agent of Chamark was able to get a commission of 200 million pounds, mainly because Chamark was a free transfer. Arsenal saved the transfer fee, so naturally they have to compensate a little more in other places.

However, he also knows the status of Mendes, and it is really not easy to send him for 200 million pounds.

"But I know you have a strong personal relationship with Mourinho, Mr. Mendez. Your good personal relationship may help solve this problem..."

He didn't mention the price, so he just kept talking nonsense with Mendes.

An old fox, a little fox, the two of them just chattered about.If an outsider listens to the conversation between the two people, they will think that a lot of it is nonsense and has nothing to do with the topic.

But these two people really didn't dare to be negligent, even if they were talking nonsense, they were all concentrating, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would be led into the ditch by the other party.

In this way, the last two people finally reached an agreement.

Liverpool will pay Mendes a commission of £300 million, and Mendes has promised to get their favorite Pepe to Anfield for Liverpool.

No agreement was signed between the two parties, not even a memorandum written with a pen, and no evidence was left behind.This is a verbal promise, and no one else knows the content of the conversation except the two of them themselves.

Neither party feared that the other would renege on its breach.Mendes has to bring Pepe from Real Madrid, at least when both parties can sign a personal contract before paying Mendes' commission. At this time, Pepe's joining Liverpool is nothing more than a certainty.

And Mendes is not worried about Liverpool's breach of contract. If Liverpool does not pay, Mendes does not mind losing 300 million pounds, but Liverpool will have to wait to bear a bigger loss. For example, Pepe, who was finally transferred, does not train well. , not playing well, always clamoring for a transfer, making the locker room full of smog... This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that Liverpool may hit a wall everywhere in the transfer market and be blocked by others. They will be unable to move an inch .

Because of this, neither party is worried about the other party breaking the appointment.

In the end, Mendez shook Niang's hand and said to him: "For your age, Lu, you are the one who gives me a headache."

Niang smiled: "You are even more remarkable, Mr. Mendez."

Mendez nodded: "I hope this is the beginning of a good partnership for us."

"That's my hope too."

The two smiled at each other.

※ ※ ※

After talking with Mendes about the things that should be discussed, Niang did not stay in Brazil. He has no interest in the World Cup. Naturally, Liverpool’s dedicated scouts will collect and summarize the player information for him in the World Cup. He only needs to log in. Email, you can see the player reports sent by those scouts every day.

He also didn't stay in Rio de Janeiro for a few more days to feel the enthusiasm of the beauties here.

He had to fly back to England, this time for a key signing in another position.

On Liverpool's left flank, guarding the left gate is Spanish full-back Jose Enrique.

This is an excellent full-back, but his reputation is not good because he is too low-key and has not been selected for the Spanish national team so far. This may have something to do with him always playing in the Premier League and his skills are rough and not delicate enough.The Spanish national team requires full-backs to have the delicate skills of wingers. This is their football style.

But Enrique is a tough full-back with a strong body and fast speed, but his skills are not delicate enough.

Enrique is very good, but Liverpool only has him as a real left-back, and there are Glenn Johnson and Van der Weil on the right. If something really happens, there is also a substitute.

But on the left, Enrique is alone.Enrique can't be injured, can't be in a slump, can't even be fatigued.

Last season, the only people who were almost full-time with Chen Yingxiong were goalkeeper Reina and left back Enrique.

Reina is because of his special position, Chen Yingxiong is because he wants to score goals, and Enrique is really because he is irreplaceable in the team.

Fortunately, Enrique was not injured last season, otherwise Martin O'Neill would really have to let Gareth Bale play his left back again, but Bell doesn't like or is good at playing this position.

At the beginning, Niang and O'Neal planned to find a first-class left back in one step, or a world-class left back would be better.

But later, the two found out very distressed that there is a shortage of outstanding left-backs in the whole world, let alone world-class ones.

The two of them can only take the next best thing, hoping to find a left back who is about the same level as Enrique.

No matter how much I think of it, it won't work.

Enrique is already a world-class left-back now, but he is too low-key, his skills are not delicate enough, and his assists are not as good as his defense, so he is not well-known.Although he is not well-known, his strength is still very good, so in the eyes of two people who are familiar with Enrique, even if they just want to find a left-back who is similar to him, it is very difficult.

In the end, they had to surrender completely and find a level that is reasonable and able to be a left back for rotation players.

As such, there are not many candidates to choose from.

Two of the best fits were in the UK, so he flew back to the UK.

Martin O'Neill gave Niang two left-back positions in his list, but this is not for Niang to bring both back, even if he has such ability, Martin O'Neill doesn't want it, hoarding three left-backs is against Liverpool It's not good, but it will affect the stability of the locker room.

The two left-backs on the shortlist are Taiwo, who is currently playing for Queens Park Rangers, and Thornton, who is playing for Newcastle United.

Taiwo has excellent body, fast speed, good endurance and stronger assist ability.His weakness is that his defense is too bad, and his tactical discipline is very poor. African players... everyone knows it.

Thornton's characteristic lies in the balance of offense and defense, and Thornton, who was born in Italy, is better than England's players in terms of technology, and has a higher defensive awareness and tactical level.The weakness is that he is prone to injuries. He has not met people's expectations for him in Newcastle. The main reason is frequent injuries.

Niang hesitated for a long time, and decided to go to Thornton first.

Thornton's personal ability is not as outstanding as Taiwo, but his consciousness is stronger than Taiwo.

Niang himself is an Italian Chinese, and he is more familiar with Italian football. When Thornton was in Inter Milan, he observed Thornton and thought that Thornton was a good seed, but for various reasons, he did not type it out.

Later, he was frequently injured when he transferred to Newcastle United, and he himself transferred with injuries.But then he gradually seized the opportunity, slowly started to play in Newcastle United, and began to get assists, and his performance was getting better and better. Now if he is not injured, he is basically the main full-back of Newcastle United.

Out of his familiarity with Thornton and his trust in Italian football, Niang still chose Thornton.

However, Thornton is now the main full-back of Newcastle United, and it is not easy for him to transfer to Liverpool.

Have to find another way...

As soon as Niang returned to Liverpool, he called Chen Yingxiong who was busy with various business activities.

"How's your relationship with Balotelli?" he asked bluntly.

"It's pretty good." Chen Yingxiong didn't understand why Niang asked this, but he still answered honestly.

"How good is it? Casual acquaintances, or friends? Ordinary friends, close friends, or buddies?" Niang continued to ask, very detailed.Because it is related to whether his next strategy will work.

"Uh... not really a buddy, but better than a normal friend."

Niang nodded: "Very good, do you have Balotelli's contact information?"

"It does."

"Call him for me..."

"Wait, Lu Niang, are you going to buy Balotelli? I didn't say it... Although I have a good relationship with him, it's because we are not in the same team. If we are in the same team, I will But there is no guarantee that I can bear him..."

Niang smiled: "Don't worry, hero, I'm not interested in gods that mortals can't understand. I just want him to help to tell Thornton that we are interested in Thornton, and see if he can help pull the thread .”

Chen Yingxiong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing it, but then he was puzzled: "Balotelli and Thornton have a good relationship?"

"Of course, don't you know? They used to play 'wife swap'!"

"What?!" Chen Yingxiong's voice was an octave higher. He didn't expect these two people to be so good at playing... For a moment, he felt like he was going to be inferior - what is eating, drinking and playing a band in front of others?At least we have never played wife swap!
"Uh, this is a bit of an exaggeration... In fact, Balotelli's girlfriend was introduced to Thornton by himself later. Thornton didn't dislike that he was leftovers, so he and Balotelli's ex-girlfriend This is what happened..." After Niang explained, Chen Yingxiong finally realized that it was not the kind of "wife swap" he understood, and it seemed that these two people still had some integrity...

"But you can see from this matter how good the relationship between the two of them is? When they were at Inter Milan, the two of them were good friends, and they were the kind of people who gave Mourinho a headache. Even the daughter Friends are the same, so I think Thornton should listen to Balotelli."

Chen Yingxiong agreed after listening to Niang's explanation: "Okay, I'll call him, but I don't know if it will work or not..."

"As long as you are willing to help, hero!"

With Chen Yingxiong's promise, Niang was still very happy.

Although Chen Yingxiong always said that his words may not be effective, the facts have proved that his words are quite effective.

He called Sanchez, and Sanchez rushed to play.Niang felt that if Chen Yingxiong was willing to step in on Thornton's matter, he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
