Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 410
At this time, Ronaldo was already on vacation at the seaside with his girlfriend.Seeing that it was Mendes' call, Ronaldo, who knew that the other party must be busy, immediately picked it up.

"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 5000 million euros to the Crystal Palace club."

"5000 million euros?"

Ronaldo was also taken aback by this number.

"That's right, Florentino entrusted me to negotiate with Crystal Palace, so I'll call first to ask you what you think."

"Ideas? What ideas can I have? I can't decide this kind of thing. I just renewed my contract with Crystal Palace 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 here very well, and the boss takes good care of me. So if you ask me what I mean, I still tend to stay at Crystal Palace. .”

"Ahem, Chris, there is one thing I need to remind you: if you join Real Madrid, not only will your salary increase significantly, but you will also get a large signing fee."

Mendez dropped a sugar-coated cannonball.

".Jorge, don't seduce me. Didn't I just say that I have nothing to say about this matter. If you can persuade the boss to let me go, I will agree to transfer to Real Madrid. That's fine. Bar?"

After a moment of silence, Ronaldo did not directly reject Mendes' temptation after all.

After getting Ronaldo's tacit approval, Mendes called Chen Ran.

At this time, Chen Ran had already left Shencheng with Cheryl, and started to play around the country.

"Jorge, your call is not about the fact that the Real Madrid club wants to introduce Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka?"

Chen Ran is too lazy to go around in circles with Mendes, so if he has this time, he might as well hang out with Cheryl for a while.

"Hahahaha, Chen, I really can't hide anything from you."

Mendes, an old fox with a thick skin, didn't feel embarrassed at all when Chen Ran directly punctured his target.

"Chen, to tell you the truth, after you rejected Real Madrid's previous inquiry, Chairman Florentino personally adjusted his strategy."

"Now, they have given up the plan to introduce Messi and Kaka, and they only plan to buy Chris alone."

"Also, Chairman Florentino offered Chris 5000 million euros. This price is more than double the current highest transfer fee record. How about it? Very sincere, right?"

"5000 million euros?" Chen Ran reconfirmed 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 9000 million euros, which did not exceed [-] million.

Now that Florentino is willing to offer 5000 million euros for Ronaldo, Chen Ran has to admit that this guy is really courageous, no wonder he was able to serve as the chairman of Real Madrid for so many years.

"That's right, Chen, as long as you nod, the 5000 million euros will be yours."

At this moment, Mendes, who was far away in Spain, was looking forward to, apprehensive, and a little excited.

If Chen Ran on the opposite side agrees to this transfer, then he will personally facilitate the birth of the new world's highest transfer fee.

This will not only bring him great fame, but also a huge commission income.

However, Chen Ran's reply quickly shattered all his dreams.

"Jorge, tell Chairman Florentino for me, and thank him for his importance to Chris. However, Chris is not for sale at the Crystal Palace Club. I hope Chris can play at the Crystal Palace Club until he retires."

What Chen Ran said 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 very generous, and you should know this."

Mendes, who was splashed with cold water by the pocket, was still making his last effort with some reluctance.

"Forget it, Jorge, it's not about money. I'm still with Cheryl, let's stop talking today."

When Mendes reported the news of Chen Ran's refusal to Florentino, Florentino's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

To declare his return by introducing top superstars, this is a plan that Florentino has made long ago.

But this plan, now again and again, has hit a wall here in the Crystal Palace, which makes Florentino very unhappy.

"Jorge, Cristiano Ronaldo is your client, can't you let him take the initiative to ask the Crystal Palace Club for a transfer?"

"Mr. Chairman, it's not that I haven't persuaded Chris. But the Chinese man has always been kind 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 the Crystal Palace is willing to let people go, he is very happy to join our Real Madrid. If the Crystal Palace does not let people go, then he has nothing to do."

Worried that Florentino would become angry and then blame Mendes, he quickly tried to divert the other party's attention.

"Mr. Chairman, in fact, it is not only the 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 was very good, he controlled his emotions in time, and then walked down the steps given by Mendes.

"Barcelona's main center, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, can now be said to be the world's number one center. If we can poach him, it will definitely be an earth-shattering masterpiece."

Hearing the name Ibrahimovic, Florentino's glasses lit up immediately.

That's right, if Ibrahimovic can be poached, it will be the same as Figo poached from Barcelona when he was first elected as the chairman of Real Madrid. The explosion 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 if they sell us to Real Madrid."

"Haha, Mr. Chairman, have you forgotten who Ibrahimovic's agent is? Raiola, the guy who is open to money, as long as the money is in place, he will help us deal with the rest. "

"Besides, even if we failed to introduce Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the end, after such a toss by Raiola, the Barcelona club must be in a mess. For us, Real Madrid, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. thing."

Thinking of Raiola's terrible reputation, Florentino couldn't help showing a knowing smile at this time.

"Very well, Jorge, I will leave this matter to you."

After leaving Florentino's office, Mendes immediately found Mourinho, and then told the latest situation of the matter.

"Ibrahimovic? He is good. But Real Madrid now has Benzema and Higuain, and there is no shortage of center forwards."

Mourinho frowned slightly, obviously not keen on introducing Ibrahimovic.

"Ahem, Jose, the reason why I proposed the introduction of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to distract Florentino's attention, so that he will not be angry at me for not being able to buy Chris."

"On the other hand, it is also to add some trouble to the Barcelona club. From the current point of view, Guardiola has trained this Barcelona team well. Next season, it will be difficult for your Real Madrid to compete with them for the La Liga title. .”

"However, as long as they are in chaos internally, Real Madrid's chances of winning the championship will be much greater. In this way, your position as the head coach will be more stable."

Mendes smiled slightly, and proudly told Mourinho about his plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"I see."

Mourinho nodded, and he reacted quickly.

The introduction of Ibrahimovic is secondary, and messing up Barcelona is the main purpose.

"But, Jorge, how can you be sure that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have a fight with FC Barcelona in order to transfer to Real Madrid?"

"Hahahaha, Jose, have you forgotten who Ibrahimovic's agent is?"

"Agent? You mean that Raiola who only has money in his eyes?" Mourinho's mind immediately came up with Raiola's simple and thick face.

"That's right. Mino Raiola may not really want Ibrahimovic to go to Real Madrid, but he will definitely use this opportunity to ask Barcelona for a sky-high contract extension."

"Well, this is indeed something that guy would do." Mourinho also recognized Mendes' judgment.

"According to the way that Raiola guy behaves, he will definitely talk about this contract extension. After all, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's performance in the past two years from Crystal Palace to Barcelona has been quite good, which makes Raiola Ola has more confidence to ask for a price."

"But the price offered by Raiola 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 Ibrahimovic's salary increase request, then other players will definitely We will learn from each other.”

"Based on Raiola's usual method, if the Barcelona club does not agree to his request, he is likely to instigate Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make a fuss, and then there will be a good show."

"So, what we have to do is to help Raiola light the fire, and then put some gasoline on the fire. As for what action to take later, let's follow the trend and make a decision based on the situation."

Seeing Mourinho nodding repeatedly, Mendes sighed secretly in his heart.

In fact, having said so much, the most fundamental reason is that he is unwilling to have a direct conflict with Chen Ran.

In Mendes' view, Chen Ran will be an important top figure in world football for many years to come.

Although there is no way to become a close partner with Chen Ran due to various reasons, he is absolutely unwilling to become Chen Ran's enemy.

As for persuading Florentino and Mourinho to introduce Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it was just a stopgap measure for him to bring disaster to the east.

On Chen Ran's side, after hanging up on Mendes' phone, he reminded little fat Luis to pay attention to Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka, and then took Cheryl to continue playing around the country.

However, he is now well-known in the country, and with a dazzling Cheryl by his side, he has become the focus of attention everywhere, and requests for autographs and photos are endless.

The two of them were afraid of being told they were playing big cards and dared not refuse easily. In desperation, Chen Ran and Cheryl had to change their itinerary and flew from China to Hawaii.

While Chen Ran was on vacation, the European transfer market once again ushered in the annual bustling moment.

Since the Liverpool club was banned from transferring by UEFA, another rich team, Manchester City, went around to sweep up goods, which is particularly interesting.

They first spent £2550 million on the introduction of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez from city rivals Manchester United.

Then they bought Togo striker Adebayor and Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure from Arsenal for £2500 million and £1700 million respectively.

That's not all, they also brought in England defender Lescott from Everton for £2400 million and Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz from Blackburn for £1700 million.

Not only that, they also introduced England midfielder Barry from Aston Villa for 1200 million pounds, and Brazilian defender Sylvinho from Barcelona on a free transfer.

If you count the investment last season, the Abu Dhabi consortium has spent more than 3 million pounds in the more than a year since it took over the Manchester City club.

However, the other traditional strong teams in the Premier League do not seem to have made any big moves this summer.

Manchester United just bought Ecuador wide player Valencia from Wigan Athletic for 1700 million pounds, and then introduced England striker Michael Owen from Newcastle United on a free transfer.

Chelsea's biggest effort here is to spend 1800 million pounds to introduce Russian defender Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow.

Then he bought England striker Sturridge from Manchester City for 500 million pounds, and introduced Serbian midfielder Matic from Kosice with 150 million pounds.

Arsenal, as always, make money through the transfer market.

Apart from the Belgian defender Vermaelen, who spent £1100 million from Ajax, they did not bring in any players.

If you include Adebayor and Kolo Toure, who they sold to Manchester City at a high price, Arsenal made a net profit of nearly 3000 million pounds during the summer transfer period.

After having a good time, Chen Ran finally returned to London with Cheryl.

At this time, an explosive news shocked the entire football world.
