Legendary Road

"Now I'm your agent, how does it feel?"

Yan Jing put down the pen in his hand, looked at Mendez, who was in a good mood, and replied with a half smile: "To be honest, I don't feel very good. Did I sign a contract of sale?"

Two hours ago, Yan Jing conveyed what Mendes said to Zork, and just over half an hour ago, Zork gave Yan Jing a reply on whether to cooperate with Mendes.

The club's top executives held a small meeting impromptu, and they have no reason to refuse Mendes's overtures—even though Watzke knows very well that Mendes is not just here to help Dortmund in trouble, the interests are was the final factor that led him to come to Germany.

"Haha, don't worry, Yan, I'm not a human trafficker, I'm a serious agent." Everything I wanted to do was done, although Yan Jing's face didn't look very kind, and Mendes didn't feel any displeasure It means, "Europe is different from South America. No matter how bad an agent's reputation is in South America, he can still make money, but the reputation of an agent in European football is very important. I will not do stupid things that hurt my own wings for a short-term benefit."

"Ok."

Yan Jing sighed and put away the contract in front of him. The content of this three-year contract was not complicated, and Mendes only asked for 10% of the commission. name.

"Anyway, happy cooperation?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Yan Jing got up and was about to leave, but Mendes' words made him stop again.

"By the way, if you really plan to sell Rosicky to Arsenal, you can talk to Jerome Anderson first."

"Jerome Anderson?" Yan Jing didn't know much about British football, "Who is he?"

"Arsenal's royal agent, it can be said that now he controls all of Arsenal's player transactions." Mendes explained, "He has been working at Arsenal for more than 20 years. He and Arsenal's vice chairman David Dunn is a very good friend, because of this relationship, he even dared to disrupt the sale of players appointed by Wenger."

Disturb the people Wenger wants?Yan Jing smacked his lips and was about to say something, but Mendes threw out the last allusive sentence.

"However, he has the same commonality as many agents. For his own benefit, he will do things even to cheat his own employer."

----------

There are only a few games left in this season. Apart from the final champion candidates of various leagues and cups, the focus of the media's attention has already begun to focus on the summer transfer window that will open in the near future.

2005 was not a big year, neither the European Cup nor the World Cup, so the major media can only rely on the transfer issues that fans are most concerned about to catch people's attention.

In the Premier League, Chelsea, which was taken over by Jose Mourinho, is invincible in the league. It is only a matter of time before they win the championship. However, due to their failure in the Champions League, their rich Russian boss seems to be Want to do something big in the summer.

It is also a London team, but Arsenal seems to be much more low-key. After winning 49 unbeaten games last season, most fans thought they would usher in a dynasty, but they were disrupted by the sudden emergence of Chelsea. Yes, this makes the situation in the Premier League even more chaotic.

And their French coach Arsene Wenger has already made a conclusion about the summer signings target, and the primary target is undoubtedly Dortmund's dazzling performance this season Rosicky.

"Mr. Watzke, hello." Jerome Anderson was not surprised by Watzke's appearance in London. On the contrary, he looked confident, as if he had expected that Watzke would come to him. .

"Hello." Watzke shook hands with Anderson politely, and immediately said no nonsense, "We have received the offer from the Arsenal club, but don't you think it is a bit too low?"

After Yan Jing conveyed Mendes' meaning to the club, Watzke did not go to Anderson immediately. He waited patiently for Arsenal's first offer, and the final result was 900 million euros.

Do you want Rosicky for 900 million euros?This is too picky!It is rare for Dortmund's top management to have completely unanimous voices. If it was during the winter break, this price would definitely be enough to impress them. However, after Rosicky's continuous highlight moments in the second half of the season, the board of directors also reported higher expectations for Rosicky's worth.

"You also know that our new stadium is under construction...it requires a lot of money." Anderson didn't deny or admit Watzke's words, but just put on an expression that we are not rich, "Recently We don't have the ability to bring in high-priced stars in [-]."

"Rosicky is not for sale." Watzke said without changing his face. "He has scored many goals for the club this season, and he is the biggest contributor to the team's chance to return to the European theater."

Rosicky is not for sale?Anderson was so happy in his heart that he couldn't afford to spend. It was a joke. If Dortmund didn't sell Rosicky, Dortmund might not even pay off the interest on the debt. Can Dortmund still have non-sale items now?

Although he laughed at Watzke's open-eyed nonsense in his heart, Anderson understood that this business still needs to be done: "What is the appropriate price for Mr. Watzke?"

"30.00%." ​​Watzke unhurriedly set out his own conditions, "Mr. Anderson, we are willing to pay you 30.00% of the increase in the transfer fee as a commission."

Now Arsenal's offer to Rosicky is 900 million euros, that is to say, every time Anderson increases the transfer fee by 100 million euros, he can get a commission of 30 euros. The more commissions you get.

Anderson thought for a moment, then smiled politely at Watzke: "I need some cooperation from your club."

In the penultimate round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund defeated their eternal rival Schalke 04 with Rosicky's stoppage time lore at the Schalke Stadium. This gunpowder-flavored Ruhr Derby forced the local police to dispatch There were a large number of riot police, and the news of the fans of the two teams scolding and fighting after the game once again occupied the page of the "Ruhr Evening News".

Different from usual, Yan Jing, who has always been quiet at the press conference after the game, praised Rosicky, the only goal scorer of the game, saying, "Rosicky is the kind of talented player who can decide the game." To the reporter He answered all the questions very generously, but if you look at all Yan Jing's words together, you can find that he didn't say anything else except how good he was in Quarosicki.

Originally, this game, which had little to do with England, appeared on the important pages of many British media newspapers on the second day, and all of them exaggerated Rosicky's hype. Bid for Rosicky", "It was revealed that Chelsea spent 1500 million euros to win Rosicky".

It is no longer a day or two for this to happen. As early as more than half a month ago, when Dortmund defeated Kaiserslautern, the English media began to brag about Rosicky.

Putting down the "Mirror" in his hand, Wenger rubbed his temples with a headache. It is no longer a day or two for him to like the elegant Rosicky. Euros, a sum of money that Arsenal's board, whose finances are tight by the construction of the new stadium, is unwilling to spend.

Seeing that Dortmund is in desperation due to financial problems this year, I thought it would be possible to win Rosicky at a low price, but I didn’t expect Rosicky’s performance in the second half of the season to be surprisingly good, and the British media, which has always regarded itself very highly, actually went out to praise a Czech player for nothing. , Rosicky's value soared, and 900 million euros was simply impossible to buy.

"Arsene, just now Dortmund sent a fax saying that Rosicky needs at least 2000 million euros!" Jerome Anderson sighed, "Are they crazy about money?"

"2000?"

Hearing this number, Wenger frowned, and now he has some regrets-if he can be ruthless in reporting the offer of 900 million euros during the winter break, maybe Rosicky will already be a member of Arsenal.

It's just that at the time he thought that Dortmund's financial situation would only get worse if it was delayed until the end of the season, and Arsenal would have a greater advantage in transfer negotiations... Who knows what will happen in the second half of the season?

"No, it is impossible for us to pay them 2000 million for Rosicky." Wenger shook his head, 2000 million is absolutely useless, if Dortmund does not let go, although it is a pity, he can only find other replacements, "Jero How's their attitude, Mom?"

"It's not tough, I think we can continue to talk." Anderson smiled, "Arsena, don't worry, I have received news from my channel. Although there are many teams interested in Rosicky, they do not include Manchester United. , Chelsea, and I have also contacted Rosicky’s agent, the player’s first intention is still our Arsenal.”

Wenger was already thinking about which of those goblins is more suitable for Arsenal. He looked up after hearing Anderson's words: "What do you think their bottom line is?"

"1400 million euros, this is Rosicky's worth in the latest issue of "Transfer Market."

----------

"Sam, thank you, I still need you to add another fire to the newspaper." Anderson stretched his legs on the soft sofa at home, enjoying the high-end wine in the crystal glass, expressing his gratitude to the person on the other end of the phone , "Your article makes me think Rosicki is worth 2500 million."

"Haha, Jerome, it's just a trivial matter. If you hadn't provided me with so much exclusive information, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Anderson has a huge network in British football. This time, many English media hype Rosicky was written by him. As Arsenal's ace agent, many reporters have benefited from Anderson for various reasons. Therefore, they are also willing to help Anderson with this favor. After all, if they want more exclusive news, they still have to rely on Anderson.

Anderson swirled the clear purple wine in the glass, then called Watzke.

"Mr. Watzke, 1400 million euros, this is the highest price Professor Wenger can accept."
