Football giants

Chapter 41 I won't buy it anymore
"Welcome, Mr. Russell."

When a black Audi A8 slowly stopped at the gate of the hotel, the waiter opened the door and greeted Sandro Rosell with a smile. The chairman of Barcelona got out of the car with a serious face, buttoning his suit with one hand.

This action makes him look like a gentleman.

It's just that the person looks a little wretched.

Josep Maria Bartomeu, the first vice-chairman of Barcelona and also Rosell's number one assistant, quickly bypassed the Audi from the rear of the car and came to Rosell's side.

"We were late for more than an hour." Bartomeu reminded.

Roselle looked around for a while, making sure that he was not being followed by reporters, and then he walked into the hotel gate.

"If you're late, you'll be late, just say there's a traffic jam, what are you afraid of?" There was some arrogance in the words.

As the chairman of Barcelona, ​​he is a hot figure in this city, even in the whole of Spain, and even in European football. Especially with the strong rise of Barcelona in recent years, UEFA President Platini has to be polite when he sees him. He has a pivotal influence in world football.

Where would he take a nouveau riche from China in his eyes?
The two walked into the hotel lobby, and under the guidance of the waiter, took the elevator upstairs, and soon came to the agreed room.

Bartomeu knocked lightly a few times, and Pimenta came over to open the door.

"Why are you here now?" Pimenta was dissatisfied when he saw the two of them.

Russell didn't take Pimenta seriously at all. As long as Zlatan Ibrahimovic is sent away, this person has nothing to do with Barcelona, ​​and he doesn't even intend to continue dealing with Raiola in the future.

"Sorry, traffic jam." Roselle walked in with a smile, making an excuse casually.

Raiola is also helpless, who made Barcelona the only super giant in football now?

He could even conclude that Roselle did it on purpose. He wanted everyone to wait for him. This was not only for showing his prestige, but also for negotiating needs.

"This should be Southampton's new boss, Mr. Yang Huan, right?" Russell didn't even look at Raiola, walked towards Yang Huan, and stretched out his hand from a distance.

Yang Huan stood up from the sofa, but he didn't intend to stretch out his hand. He laughed, "I, who flew from Southampton, can arrive on time, but Mr. Russell came from the Nou Camp, but he was late. It seems that the city of Barcelona is really congested, or Mr. Russell's car is too big."

Russell stretched out his hand halfway, seeing that Yang Huan didn't intend to shake hands with him, he smiled awkwardly and could only retract his hand, but Yang Huan's remark that the car was too big, in Roselle's ears, was blaming him for being too arrogant.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I..."

Yang Huan didn't intend to give Roselle a chance to explain, you made me wait here for more than an hour, you made it clear that you were showing off, do you really think I have no temper?Or, because you are wealthy, you are entitled to be domineering?

"I'm not interested in continuing to talk here. I have hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute, and you let me wait here for you for more than an hour. Calculate for yourself, how much have I lost?" Yang Huan further emphasized his tone.

Following his words, Zhang Ning also stood up, and Long Wu, who was playing the game with his head down, quickly followed suit.

"Now, I only give 500 million euros at most. You can either agree to me immediately, or pull it down. If you still want to sell, come to Southampton to talk to me."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled, "However, although the traffic in our Southampton is not as congested as in Barcelona, ​​I don't know when I will be free. I will call and make an appointment then."

As soon as Yang Huan said this, Russell and Bartomeu panicked.

It is well known that Barcelona wants to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Guardiola has clearly told the team that the Swedish center must be sold during this summer transfer period. The two teams closest to Zlatan Ibrahimovic are AC Milan.

The price offered by AC Milan is a free loan for one year, 500 million euros after one year, and Barcelona has to help AC Milan bear part of Ibrahimovic's salary.

Relatively speaking, Southampton appears to be more sincere. They are willing to buy out Ibrahimovic in one go and pay cash, and at the same time bear Ibrahimovic's salary. The biggest problem with the Saints is that they are a League One team.

Originally, Barcelona was worried that Ibrahimovic would not go to Southampton, but now the Swedish center agreed. This is a good thing for Barcelona, ​​but if Yang Huan is angered and the transfer fails, how will Barcelona send Ibrahimovic away?
"Mr. Yang Huan, don't worry, don't be angry, maybe it's just a misunderstanding!"

Raiola is also a ghost. When he saw Yang Huan making a gesture to leave, he immediately stood up to stop him.

"Misunderstanding?" Yang Huan sneered, "There is no misunderstanding. I am not interested in negotiating with this kind of person. Either I agree to my conditions immediately, or I will pull them down. Anyway, I have enough money, so I am afraid that I will not be able to buy a star?"

Although superstars are scarce in the transfer market, it depends on the situation.

Regarding the status quo of Ibrahimovic and Barcelona, ​​it is definitely the buyer who takes the initiative.

Especially considering that the end of the transfer period is getting closer and closer. If Southampton, the big benefactor, is let go now, he can only choose AC Milan, and he will definitely be slaughtered by then.

The reason why Yang Huan has this courage is also because he knows very well that Barcelona must be sold, and if Ibrahimovic is not sold, the salary alone is enough to keep Ibrahimovic, and there are bonuses and other expenses. Calculated over a year, not to mention the further depreciation of the players, Barcelona will have to pay 2000 million in potential expenses.

So from the standpoint of Barcelona, ​​it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to sell now.

"Yes, there are indeed many stars in the transfer market, but there are really not many stars at the level of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Besides, I believe that Barcelona is also very sincere, right, Mr. Russell?" Raiola brought the topic to Russell.

The chairman of Barcelona knew in his heart that he had overdone his ostentation, and his current situation simply did not allow him to ostentatious.

In fact, if Galliani from AC Milan is negotiating now, Russell would not dare to be so big. On the contrary, he would even arrive earlier, but he was determined that Southampton was a low-level league team, and he was also determined that Yang Huan was a novice and an upstart.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he picked up a brick and hit himself in the foot.

"Okay!" Russell turned around and shouted vigorously, "500 million euros, deal, but I want cash, and we will not pay Zlatan Ibrahimovic even a penny of severance pay."

According to the rules of European teams, if Barcelona wants to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic, at least they have to pay a severance package of hundreds of thousands of euros, but now Russell wants to save this money.

When Raiola heard it, hundreds of thousands of euros was a bit painful, but Yang Huan promised him a commission of 1000 million euros.

"Yes, on behalf of Zlatan!"

In the end, everyone present looked at Yang Huan. As long as he said a word, the transfer would be considered a success.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan shook his head and laughed, "I won't buy it!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded, and Raiola wished he could kneel down and beg the young master on the spot. This is Barcelona's reserve price, and it can go from 7000 million euros to 500 million euros. What a remarkable achievement is this?
But you still refuse?
Roselle was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood on the spot. It was already considered a clearance sale, but you actually put on a show instead?
Do you want me to ask you?

"Mr. Yang Huan, you..."

Before Raiola finished speaking, Yang Huan nodded and said, "Yes, I won't buy it."

"why?"

"I'm in a bad mood right now!" Yang Huan explained quite naturally.

Everyone present wanted to vomit blood, carefully prepared for a long time to negotiate a transfer deal, and if they were in a bad mood, they would have to stop at any time?

When Zhang Ning heard his reason, he couldn't help laughing to himself, the young master's mood was always unpredictable.

When is good and when is bad, it's a matter of one sentence.

"You are all right, you have made a deal, and you came late, put on a good posture, and saved hundreds of thousands of euros in severance pay, but what about me? I have been waiting here for you for more than an hour. I am hundreds of thousands per minute. How much is an hour? Who should I ask for my loss?"

Facing Yang Huan's questioning, Roselle was furious, but reason told him that he couldn't talk to Southampton at this time.

Once the talks collapse, Barcelona will fall into a more passive situation.

"In a word, 2000 million euros, in cash, if you want it, I'll buy it, if you don't want it, just drop it."

Russell was so angry that he wanted to run away on the spot. Just now he said 500 million euros, but now it is 500 million less?

Bartomeu was also anxious on the sidelines, winking at Russell, can this kind of transfer be done?

But Roselle had his own thoughts in his heart.

Ibrahimovic was a player introduced by the former chairman Laporta. It is rare for Guardiola to give up on his own initiative. He just took the opportunity to clean up Laporta's mark, and no matter how much Ibrahimovic sells, everyone will point the finger at Laporta, or even Guardiola.

After all, everyone is well aware of the situation in the past year.

Furthermore, Barcelona is a membership-based team. As the chairman of the team, there is no loss for Russell in this transfer transaction.

But he now needs the 2000 million euros to pay David Villa's expenses and improve the team's financial situation.

"Okay, 2000 million euros, deal!" Roselle gritted his teeth angrily, but shouted word by word.

Yang Huan laughed again, which surprised everyone present.

Raiola almost cried in his heart.

Young master, you should stop tossing around, 2000 million euros, you have made a lot of money, just take it when you see it!

Fortunately, Yang Huan just smiled and stretched out his hand, "Congratulations, Mr. Russell, I feel your sincerity, and I agree!"

Roselle was not in the mood to shake hands, but worried about angering Yang Huan again, so he could only reach out and hold hands with him.

"This is the worst deal I've ever done in my life!"

Yang Huan laughed, feeling very good, "I'm just the opposite. I think this is the best transfer deal I've done so far. No one should deny this!"

Ibrahimovic was introduced for 2000 million euros, and Yang Huan's deal was indeed worthwhile.

However, it is a membership-based team like Barcelona, ​​and it is not easy to switch to a team with other private owners.

This deal was doomed from the very beginning with no turning back. It can only be said that Barcelona killed themselves.

In the past period of time, what they have done has pushed themselves into a very, very unfavorable position in a transfer negotiation transaction. Coupled with Guardiola's statement, Barcelona has no bargaining chips at all.

Zhang Ning had been watching coldly from the sidelines. She suddenly discovered that Yang Huan actually stayed here on purpose to wait for Roselle.

Could it be that the direction of the entire negotiation was pre-conceived by him just now?

How smart is he?

This discovery made Zhang Ning look at Yang Huan somewhat differently, even with admiration.

Even just a little.
