Chapter 303 I want to touch Messi's head

Barcelona Camp Nou Stadium.

"According to the feedback from many sponsors such as Nike and Audi, the analysis shows that the entire Asian market has a very flat response to our Asian tour this summer, which is far from Real Madrid's Asian tour last year."

Sarah Martin, a member of the bureau in charge of business development, is reporting the latest progress to Chairman Laporta.

Asian tour, this is the top priority of Barcelona this summer.

Last year, Real Madrid's Asian trip made a lot of money. Although Queiroz later criticized the team's time-consuming and labor-intensive Asian trip as the main culprit for the collapse of Real Madrid's season, it is undeniable that Real Madrid has been a great success in terms of business development.

Seeing the mortal enemy frantically making money, Barcelona naturally wants to take a share of the pie.

Laporta is a lawyer and does not have the business thinking of Florentino, but it does not prevent him from learning from Real Madrid.

But judging from the actual situation, Barcelona is not Real Madrid after all.

"According to our itinerary, we first arrived in South Korea, then went to Japan, then went to China, and played four warm-up matches in three places in early August, which is only more than a month away from now, but judging from the current sales prospects of tickets, it is very bad. The three games in Japan and South Korea, the ball market is very sluggish."

Sarah Martin was also very helpless about this.

Real Madrid has gathered too many superstars, which makes them have an unusual attraction in Asia, especially the joining of Beckham, which has greatly improved Real Madrid's popularity and caused a frenzy for the Galacticos in Asia.

What does Barcelona have in comparison?
Ranked in the middle for more than half of last season, the only superstar in the team is Ronaldinho.

But as some media said, it can be seen from Pepsi's "Gladiator" advertising film that Ronaldinho's rank still has a certain gap with Beckham and Su Dong.

Under such circumstances, how can Barcelona cause a sensation when it comes to the Far East?

Laporta has long been prepared for this situation, but the trip to the Far East has been planned for a long time, especially when it comes to various sponsors. Let alone a game that can sell thousands of tickets, even if they can't sell tickets, Barcelona will have to go to Asia embarrassingly.

"How is your contact with Valencia?" Laporta asked with concern.

Su Dong is a Chinese player who has just won the AFC Asian Footballer of the Year. He has a very high popularity and influence in Asia. If he can be signed, it will definitely greatly enhance Barcelona's influence in Asia.

More importantly, Sudong also has great tactical value.

"Valencia does not object to selling Sudong to us, even under the same conditions, they are willing to sell Sudong to us instead of Real Madrid, but the problem now is that Valencia's asking price is a bit high."

"How much?" Laporta asked with concern.

"make a record!"

"Are they crazy?" Laporta was a little anxious.

Barcelona just signed Deco, Giuly, Edmilson and other players. Where did they get so much money?

Even if you are good at installments, you must have a certain percentage of down payment, right?
"Real Madrid is willing to pay the money!" Sarah Martin said helplessly.

Laporta had the urge to scold her.

Real Madrid is rich and powerful now, and they will not hold back when they compete with Barcelona.

No wonder, Su Dong is only 19 years old, and whoever grabs it will not have to worry about it for the next few years.

More importantly, with the current momentum of Su Dong, whoever grabs it, after a little operation, Su Dong is likely to be the World Footballer of [-], and will be the youngest World Footballer in football history.

Everyone knows what this means.

Laporta couldn't sit still anymore, and turned to look at Vice Chairman Gaul, "Alfonso, how much money can we raise?"

"About 3000 million euros." Gao Er replied.

"It's not enough!" Laporta was a little annoyed, "Sell a few other players who are not needed, how much can we get?"

Gundam frowned, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, it needs Roselle's support, and he..."

Vice-chairman Rosell has always opposed the introduction of Su Dong, just as Laporta opposed the dismissal of Rijkaard back then.

Laporta rubbed his hands, sat there hesitating for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Call Russell immediately and tell me that I agree to renew the contract with Ronaldinho. He will negotiate with Ronaldinho's agent. I will fly to Brazil with him to sign the contract."

Gaul nodded, but still stared at Laporta, waiting for the next one.

"Then you tell him that we must sign Su Dong, let him deal with the team as soon as possible, make up the transfer fee, and at the same time make room for Ronaldinho's salary increase and Su Dong's joining."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Laporta has been withholding Ronaldinho's contract extension just to play games and exchange with Russell.

Ronaldinho's current annual salary is 380 million euros after tax, which is considered the first rank in the team, and is at the same level as captain Puyol.

After the renewal of Ronaldinho's contract, a new problem will follow, and that is Su Dong.

Laporta promised to give Su Dong the main center position, but who will become the team's top card, he or Ronaldinho?
It doesn't count just by words, the key is to look at actions.

For example, the annual salary, if you give Ronaldinho an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, can you give Su Dong less?
Less, doesn't it mean that Su Dong's status in the Barcelona team is not as good as Ronaldinho?
If it is flat, it will bring heavy salary pressure.

You know, both of them have an annual salary after tax!
"You tell Ferran again, sort out the team's salary structure, and see how much salary will be left if you send away a few high-paid players in the team. In any case, we must sign Su Dong before the Asian tour!"

Laporta finally got angry.

Without Su Dong, it would be embarrassing for Barcelona to run to Asia in such an embarrassing manner.

When that time comes, what image will he, the chairman who dominates the Asian tour, look like in the eyes of members and fans?
Ferran Soriano is relatively neutral and is also the vice chairman in charge of the club's finances. I believe he can handle this issue well.

Thinking of this, Laporta looked at Gaul again, "Call Mendes again and say that I will ask him to meet!"

"Sarah, you should communicate with the sponsors as soon as possible, especially pay close attention to Su Dong's private sponsors, and prepare a detailed plan, including Su Dong's signing negotiations, as well as the upcoming Asian tour, you must be fast!"

Su Dong has conflicts with many of Barcelona's sponsors, such as car sponsors. Su Dong represents BMW, but Barcelona's sponsor is Audi. There must be problems. How to coordinate?
Back then, in order to sign Beckham, Real Madrid took a long time to get these sponsors.

Now, there is really not much time left for Barcelona.

"Do it now! Be quick!"

…………

…………

As soon as Mendes received the call, Su Dong also got the news later.

For a period of time, the media has been spreading the news every day, but Su Dong can only wait for the news and spend his energy on training.

Su Dong was not very relieved about the latest information sent by Mendes.

He also has his own concerns.

"When you meet, you tell Laporta that I still have concerns. If possible, I want to make a phone call with Rijkaard and Ronaldinho first. They all know my mobile phone number."

Su Dong wanted to hear Rijkaard confirm some things himself, and at the same time wanted to have a good communication with Ronaldinho.

It's better not to affect the locker room and the game with those fucking things of the management.

Of course, Su Dong's joining itself is a weakening of Ronaldinho's influence. Su Dong mainly wants to listen to the Brazilian's ideas, which is also for better getting along with him in the future.

Mendes said with a smile that Sudong's concerns in this regard are right, but Laporta has long been prepared.

"Rosell has already had a dinner table meeting with Ronaldinho's agent brother, and the two sides have reached a consensus on the issue of contract renewal. Laporta and Rosell will leave for Brazil in these two days to formally sign a contract extension with Ronaldinho."

"Before going to Brazil, I will meet with Laporta. If it goes well, he hopes to fly directly from Brazil to China to meet with you and discuss some issues in person."

"What about Valencia?" Su Dong asked with concern.

"Both Roig and Subirac called me and they agreed that we should contact Barcelona, ​​and according to the information I got, the transfer fee is likely to exceed Zidane."

Speaking of this, Mendes was obviously a little excited.

Su Dong's transfer fee exceeds Zidane's, so his broker's commission will also increase.

More importantly, having a player like Su Dong under his command is simply a great thing for him.

As far as Su Dong was concerned, he didn't resist it, and he didn't have to pay anyway, but the exorbitant transfer fee would bring some pressure, but he believed he could overcome it.

If it really surpasses Zidane, according to the contract, he can get 20.00% of the share, which is more than 1000 million euros, converted into more than [-] million yuan, which is absolutely unbelievable.

Sometimes Su Dong even thought that Valencia might just want to pass on Su Dong's share to the new club, so they insisted on the transfer fee.

Of course, the most important thing is that Real Madrid and Barcelona are willing to pay.

Compared with the situation of moving to Real Madrid, moving to Barcelona is really a good choice.

As long as he doesn't get involved in management disputes, as long as he doesn't get involved in those things outside the stadium, Su Dong believes that he can play in Barcelona.

After all, he knew in his heart that he matched Barcelona's style quite well.

Especially with the ability of Barcelona midfielders to create opportunities, Su Dong believes that he will definitely have more opportunities in Barcelona than in Valencia, and he will definitely score more goals.

As for Ronaldinho, Su Dong has a good personal relationship with him, and I believe it will not be a big problem to get along with him.

"Oh, by the way, Jorge, when you talk to Laporta, make one more request."

"You said."

"They have a guy named Leo Messi in their youth team, and they promoted him to the first team."

There was a David Silva in Valencia who could touch his head. When he came to Barcelona, ​​he didn't find one, and he always felt uncomfortable.

It just so happens that Messi and David Silva are the same size and should feel good.
