Midfielder.

Chapter 188 Mendez's Machete
Just as Mendes himself said, he will not let go of someone who has been taken advantage of easily. When he wants to kill someone, no one can run away.

And when he comes across such a fat sheep, he will be even more merciless. If he can't peel off his skin, he has to scrape off a little bit of oil. This is Mendes' ability. When he swings a small guillotine to chop at you , the victim could only accept his cruel knife with a smile on his face, and had to say thank you when he was done.

It's not cheap, it's quite cheap, but Mendes has this ability, who let this guy hold so many coveted champion players in his hands.

In this summer, he was definitely more dazzling than those players. Even in the newspapers, he would often see this guy's name appearing on it.

Almost half of the Porto team's players are Mendes' clients. Someone once said that this guy has at least [-] million pounds in his hands now.

4000 million pounds?Perhaps this is still a conservative estimate by those people, because the valuation of Lin Yi and Ronaldo alone has exceeded [-] million pounds.

Maybe all the agents are envious of Mendes' luck, the two hottest stars of hope, this is goddamn luck!
With the rise of Lin Yi and Ronaldo, many agents have focused their attention on the team's youth army, which has become a trend.

And now there are still a steady stream of players who want to have a relationship with this Portuguese agent boss, Jose Vega has long been forgotten.

When Figo began to age gradually, Jose Vega no longer had any magical weight, and his players were not as good as one group.

Jose Vega himself has even lost the courage to go down in the agent circle. There are rumors that he is considering joining the management of Benfica.

Of course, he definitely didn't want to hug Villarinho's thigh, because that fat man had already been kicked off the rostrum in the general election a month ago.

Mendes didn't kill the guy who tried to snatch Lin Yi from him, but that didn't mean he would leave any room for his opponent.

But for such a person, the threat to Mendes is basically non-existent now. When Figo gradually faded out, he also stepped down from the altar.

But Mendes, because of the rise of those two boys, began to take the center stage of the European brokers and became the leading figure that everyone noticed.

Now Peter Kenyon can only stick out his neck and wait for Mendes to give him a knife. Even if he knows that his opponent will be ripped off at this time, he can't help it. Who told the Russian boss to only ask about the results and not about the process now? Man, the pressure on Peter Kenyon's shoulders is actually great.

Kenyon has become the focus of mainstream European media attention for two consecutive summers, but this does not mean that everything about him at Chelsea is so stable.

At least he knows in his heart that every day at Chelsea is full of pressure, and every transaction may be a bomb he planted for himself.

That's right, he is the CEO of Chelsea. In front of outsiders, his power and ability to control the fate of players are the focus of the entire Stamford Bridge.

But Peter Kenyon understood what role he was playing. There was actually only one owner of Stamford Bridge, and that was Roman Abramovich.

He is just a high-level wage earner. He can decide whether others will stay or not. Similarly, Abramovich can also decide whether to stay or stay for himself.

Although Kenyon can give Ranieri a dismissal letter very casually, he is also very clear that it is not only the head coach who is under pressure now.

The same is true for himself. If there is no championship trophy next season, his position as CEO is not so secure, and someone will replace him at any time.

There are not a few people who are qualified for this position in the Premier League. He can sit in this position because of his own network of contacts, but others also have them.

There are many people who can play well in the Premier League. Abramovich can value him not only because of his experience and connections, but also because Abramovich is also demonstrating to Manchester United.

If Peter Kenyon also received the dismissal notice on that day, then he knew very well that his end would be even more miserable than that Italian.

When Ranieri left, there were fans' persuasion and comfort, and players' reluctance, but when he left, I'm afraid there were only boos.

Because of his personality, even in Chelsea's management, few people will buy his account, let alone those fans who say he is a traitor.

There must be a lot of people standing on high places waiting to see his jokes. If he fails, then the Premier League will definitely say goodbye to himself.

Peter Kenyon not only forged a relationship with Manchester United, but almost all the teams in the Premier League were offended by his poaching methods.

After he took over the position of Chelsea CEO, he first targeted the Premier League team for looting, and the gold dollar policy worked very well.

The main players of six or seven teams have been seduced by this guy with a check, and now he has become a thorn in the side of many team fans.

If these people were given a chance to beat the dog in the water, Peter Kenyon believed that those people would never miss it, and the attack would be very ruthless.

In order to avoid such a scene where the wall is overthrown and everyone pushes him, Kenyon himself must be vigilant at all times, and must not leave any opportunity for those people to take advantage of.

The current Peter Kenyon is in a make-or-break state. If he can't lift a weighty trophy next season, he will be in danger.

Abramovich can send Ranieri with a check. Similarly, he can also use a severance package to solve the CEO of the team, and there will be absolutely no hesitation. Peter Kenyon was poached by him, but This guy also indirectly became Abramovich's firewall in front of other teams.

The work of offending people has always been done by the traitor of Manchester United. Abramovich has never been able to stand out by himself, and the Russians will not do things that attract people's hatred.

So Peter Kenyon's only thing to do this summer is to build a championship team no matter how much money he spends.

Mendes' visit at this time finally made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Mourinho's delay in making a statement made him become very impatient.

However, when he saw Mendes appearing in the office at Stamford Bridge again, Peter Kenyon finally breathed a sigh of relief. The thing he was most worried about finally did not happen. Coach, maybe this is what my boss needs most now.

"He will definitely get the highest annual salary among all European coaches. This is my promise to you, and it is also Chelsea's absolute confidence in him."

It was very simple and direct. Peter Kenyon didn't engage in those useless tricks. His conversation with Mendes was straight to the point.

Peter Kenyon would not be stingy at throwing away money at this time, and it was not his money anyway, so this guy would definitely not feel distressed.

"Absolute power, José, what is needed is absolute control over the team, like he did at Porto, no one can interfere with the team."

When Mendes communicates with people who are purely talking about money, he will be very direct and will never beat around the bush. He has also clearly stated the requirements of his agent. He already knows very well what Mourinho needs. , but he had to make it clear to Peter Kenyon that this was the basis of cooperation.

"With his own coaching team, he decides all the training plans, and we will not interfere with any of his decisions, except of course, except for the transfer market."

Peter Kenyon agreed very happily. He never interfered with the minimum power requirements of the head coach. Even when Ranieri was the head coach, he never interfered with the team's tactical arrangements. Yes, he really doesn't understand these things, it's completely a technical job.

But he will not let go in the transfer market. If Mourinho needs anything, he can mention it, but the final operation must be done by himself.

It's not that there have been cases in the Premier League where the manager is in charge of transfer matters, but that's where the most problems go wrong. Bribery and corruption can be deadly.

Like the old Redknapp fell on it, and was caught by the BBC and Sky TV, Kenyon didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

And Peter. Kenyon also has his own plans, so in addition to the transfer part, he can provide Mourinho with the most free space.

Including the players Mourinho needs, he can also do his best to satisfy him, as long as the opponent is not too outrageous, he can guarantee to win.

After the two very pure businessmen were completely open and honest, the speed at which some things were settled was unimaginable to others. When the basic issues were finalized, Peter Kenyon had already prepared a draft contract and was waiting for Murray It was the moment when Neo came to Stamford Bridge to sign.

The rest of the details are waiting to be studied between the club's lawyers and Mendes, and they have reached an agreement on the general direction.

The problem of the head coach has finally been resolved, but what Peter Kenyon hopes to get from Mendes now is more than that.

"Okay, old friend, I know that you can come to London first, and you will not only bring me such good news. Let us talk about your young man. Is he satisfied with our conditions? If If not, we can discuss the details again.”

This may be the first time Peter Kenyon has spoken to others in such a tone. It is obvious that he really cares about whether Lin Yi can join.

Because my boss has said many times in front of me that Chelsea must introduce some heavyweight players, no matter how much it costs!
But this summer's transfer market is not so smooth for Peter Kenyon. Many clubs are wary of Chelsea.

Even if Chelsea can see a player they like, those clubs will shout a sky-high price, which makes Kenyon a little sad.

After all, Abramovich is not an idiot. It is impossible for him to spend tens of millions to buy a player who is not absolutely top-notch in the Premier League. He is not taken advantage of.

Although Kenyon snatched Robben, the representative of the new generation of Dutch wingers from Manchester United, which made Ferguson very depressed, and successfully brought Drogba to Stamford Bridge from the hands of the French, but like those long-famous Superstars, Kenyon failed to win even one.

It is economical and practical. No one is willing to sell it to Chelsea for a reasonable price now, and those superstars will not betray just because of a few million euros.

This is also the aftermath of Chelsea's big search last year. Everyone now knows that Chelsea has money, so they are all waiting to kill them.

AC Milan's Galliani has even warned Peter Kenyon on various occasions, don't hit Kaka and Shevchenko's ideas.

Otherwise, he does not guarantee whether AC Milan will counterattack Chelsea in the transfer market. This is definitely not a simple threat.

Peter Kenyon didn't care about this kind of warning, but Kaka was indeed devoted to AC Milan and rejected his invitation very clearly.

And those guys like the Galaxy Battleship are not something he can easily dig, especially when Florentino's attitude becomes more and more tough.

Real Madrid have been depressed this season because of their poor record. It is indeed not a very wise thing to provoke this Lafayette at this time.

Moreover, the old guy has already maintained a high degree of wariness against Chelsea. In addition, he also said that if Chelsea poach someone, he will counter-poach it at all costs. There is no interest in the transfer war, and most importantly, it is unnecessary.

Not to mention teams like Manchester United and Arsenal. Do you think Ferguson is the kind of person who gives players away to opponents for free?Especially for Chelsea.

The only effect of Peter Kenyon is to stir up the interior of Arsenal. Ashley Cole is showing signs of loosening, but Wenger is still not letting go.

Ashley Cole, who has a contract, may join in the future, but at least for this summer, he has to stay in the Arsenal team.

After wandering around for a while, the only thing Peter Kenyon had hoped to move was Lin Yi, so he was really eager to settle down now.

A new star who became the center of attention in the Champions League final, this kind of player is a kind of spiritual stimulation for Stamford Bridge fans.

Especially after chasing others unsuccessfully, Peter Kenyon must have a heavyweight signing. Lin Yi seems to be his best choice at this stage.

You know, the kid's current news value is no worse than any superstar, especially in the transfer market, he is simply a heartthrob.

If he can win this battle against Manchester United and Arsenal, then Kenyon will have an explanation in front of his boss.

Peter Kenyon showed confidence in this little guy, so when he talked about this issue with Mendes, he offered 2000 million yuan, not euros, but pounds, and he promised , Chelsea will pay this money very simply in one lump sum.

However, Mendes didn't take Kenyon's words because of the price of 2000 million pounds. This guy is quite calm now. From the day he signed Ronaldo and Lin Yi, he has become accustomed to such big deals.

Because this price is also the limit given by Ferguson, Mendes is testing Peter Kenyon's patience and Chelsea's bottom line.

His understated expression made Peter Kenyon, an old guy who was used to verbal swords at the negotiating table, feel a little impetuous.

"Okay, my friend, please don't doubt my sincerity in inviting Lin Yi, but he is not yet 17 years old, so I can't offer too high a price."

Mendes knows that guy is telling the truth. After all, even if Cristiano Ronaldo wants to transfer now, it will not exceed this value. You know, players like Owen transferred from the Premier League to Real Madrid only for Liverpool. Returned less than 2000 million euros and a star of hope for Real Madrid.

Now that Lin Yi can make Peter Kenyon offer such a high price, it can be seen that Chelsea is sincere, but Mendes thinks it is not enough.

"If I were you, I would spend more money to make Chelsea the protagonist of the summer, as you said, he is not yet 17 years old."

That's right, that kid's age made it impossible for Peter Kenyon to offer a price of more than 3000 million, but it was also Lin Yi's biggest advantage.

Now the Chelsea team is full of players who have been famous for a long time, but Lin Yi still has a strong room for improvement, and he has enough potential to tap.

This is an investment in the future, and the benefits are not limited to the present. Can you guarantee that he will not be the next World Footballer?Nobody can.

Can Chelsea now have a World Player of the Year?At least UEFA and those media selections will not take the initiative to cast their own votes.

If Lin Yi can reach this height, no matter how much money Kenyon spends this time, it will be worth it, and he will even feel that he has taken advantage of it.

Peter Kenyon is also considered a decisive guy, so after a moment of pondering, he gave Mendes a transfer offer again.

A transfer fee of 800 million pounds, this time Peter Kenyon finally gave a figure that satisfied Mendes, and Mendes also raised his glass to Peter Kenyon, "Happy cooperation, my Friends, it seems that we can discuss the specifics of this contract tomorrow."

For this deal that has basically been reached, Mendes notified the Porto club as soon as possible, and Da Costa basically acquiesced to this news.

Although Da Costa also thought about the Lions opening their mouths to slap Chelsea, but with Mendes in it, this kind of embarrassing scene for both sides did not happen, and Peter Kenyon also promised Glenshire, who has faded out of the main lineup, can be loaned to Porto.

Although this candidate is not as attractive as those players in the Arsenal team, but after getting 800 million pounds, this may be the best ending.

At least Mendes has fulfilled his previous commitments, he did not let da Costa and Porto Club suffer any financial losses.

And he also helped Lin Yi finalize his first big contract, which will be the first step for that kid to shine in the Premier League. . .

(Chelsea, these sad guys, scored 3:3 at the last moment... Oh, is Comrade Ancelotti going to start his own destiny of being the second child again? Now I guess Ferguson just laughed and said nothing... )
