Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 10
The saying "money can turn ghosts" is not only applicable in Huaguo, but it is also applicable here in Mendes.

Chen Ran's request to Mendes is that the transfer must be completed before the friendly match between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United.

With the huge carrot of tens of millions of euros hanging in front, the entire transfer process was forcibly pushed onto the highway by Mendes.

First, Ronaldo was persuaded by him and was willing to join Crystal Palace.

Then Sporting Lisbon was settled by him, agreeing to sell Ronaldo to Crystal Palace for 1000 million euros.

There is no way, Ronaldo and Sporting Lisbon have only one year of contract left. Mendes said that if Sporting Lisbon does not agree to the deal, he will let Ronaldo wait until next summer for a free transfer.

Finally, three days before the friendly between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United, the deal was officially signed.

There is also an episode here, that is, Chen Ran insists on paying the transfer fee in installments over three years.

Pay 300 million euros immediately after signing, then pay 300 million euros in the second year, and pay the final 400 million euros in the third year.

Sporting Lisbon was originally unwilling, but with the help of Mendes, Chen Ran succeeded in the end.

Not only the transfer fee, but even the 1100 million euros promised to Mendes, was also paid in installments by Chen Ran.

400 million euros were paid on the day the transfer was signed, then 300 million euros in the second year, and the final 400 million euros in the third year.

Seeing Mendes' dumbfounding expression, Chen Ran stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Mr. Mendes, you have to be more considerate of me. I just bought the Crystal Palace. Now is the time for a large number of signings to strengthen my strength. I need money everywhere, so I have to pay in installments."

"I fully understand Mr. Chen's approach."

What else could Mendes do?Is it possible to give up this tens of millions of euros in income because of the payment method?He can't bear it.

"However, you got 1100 million euros in one transfer, which is more than the club earns. Mr. Mendes, I am afraid that you have created the highest income record for a football agent."

"This is also thanks to Mr. Chen's generosity."

Mendes adjusted his mentality very quickly. Although he didn't get all the money at once, but there is a contract, so there is no need to worry too much.

Instead, it was Chen Ran's style that made Mendes see a rising cash cow, and he decided to hold on tightly and never let go.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if your Crystal Palace still needs a coach?"

"Oh? Does Mr. Mendes recommend any good coaches?"

"Mourinho coach of Porto, has Mr. Chen heard of it?"

Chen Ranxin said that it was indeed him.

As a top coach who will dominate the world for more than ten years in the future, how could Chen Ran forget?

It's just that he thought about it again and again, but in the end he still didn't put Mourinho in his plan.

No way, this guy has too much personality.

If he continues to fill the team with Chinese players in the future, Mourinho will definitely turn his face.

For his lofty goals, Chen Ran could only reluctantly give up Mourinho in the end.

"Coach Mourinho just led his team to win the Portuguese league, cup and UEFA Cup last season. Will he be willing to come to Crystal Palace?"

"Of course not now. But Portugal is too small, Mourinho will go to a bigger stage sooner or later. I believe that under the wise leadership of Mr. Chen, Crystal Palace will definitely be a Premier League club by then."

It turned out that it was to pave the way for the future, and Chen Ran had to admire Mendes.

He just made tens of millions of euros, and he didn't get carried away. He immediately laid the groundwork for the future, and even flattered him by the way.

It is not unreasonable for him to become a big shot in the football brokerage circle in the future.

On the other hand, in order to participate in the friendly match with Sporting Lisbon, the Manchester United team flew to Lisbon.

After getting off the plane, Ferguson pulled the scout who came to pick him up and asked about Ronaldo.

In fact, Manchester United did not pay too much attention to Ronaldo at the beginning, but Arsenal and Liverpool have been tracking Ronaldo's situation.

Every time there is a Sporting Lisbon game, scouts from these two clubs will go to the scene to watch and record Ronaldo's performance.

All this was told by Mendes to Chen Ran, because in order to sell Ronaldo at a high price, Mendes recommended it to various clubs everywhere.

As long as there are scouts to observe Ronaldo's situation, Mendes will take the initiative to send a car to pick him up.

Even he often gathers scouts from various clubs together to pick him up, just to create an atmosphere that Ronaldo is very sought-after.

According to Mendes, when he visited the Arsenal club, Wenger also took out various data on Ronaldo for a long time, which filled a drawer.

It's a pity that Arsenal are too stingy and can't bear to pay a high price.

Later, when Mendes recommended Ronaldo to Manchester United, he deliberately disclosed the news that Arsenal and Liverpool had been following Ronaldo for a long time, which aroused Manchester United's interest and reported to Ferguson.

In this friendly match between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon, Sir Alex wanted to see Ronaldo's performance in person.

According to the situation in the previous life, the result was that Manchester United intercepted Arsenal and Liverpool.

It is said that because of Ronaldo, Wenger was furious, and since then he has never bought any players under Mendes' banner.

When the news reached Liverpool, coach Houllier was having dinner with assistant coach Thompson and was so angry that he almost choked to death.

But now with Chen Ran, everything is completely different.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

"What? You said Ronaldo hasn't participated in training these days?"

Ferguson is a little different. Although this is just a friendly match, it is not necessary to go directly to the game without training.

"Didn't you ask what happened?"

"I asked, but everyone in Sporting Lisbon said they didn't know, and even the players said they haven't seen Ronaldo these days."

Ferguson suddenly felt bad, and immediately sent someone to call Manchester United's CEO, Peter Kenyon.

"You contact Mendes immediately and find out what happened to Ronaldo."

After Manchester United settled in the hotel, Peter Kenyon knocked on Ferguson's door.

"Is it bad news?"

Seeing Peter Kenyon's face, Ferguson knew that something might be wrong.

"That's right. Mendes told me that just this morning, Sporting Lisbon sold Ronaldo to Crystal Palace."

"What? Say it again? Who did you sell it to?"

"Crystal Palace."

"Fxxk! Are you sure you heard right?"

Seeing Ferguson's flushed face, Peter Kenyon couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I also thought I heard it wrong. I asked Mendes several times and it was indeed the Crystal Palace."

"Is that the Crystal Palace of the Chinese who is on the front page of the Sun newspaper every day?"

"Yes."

"Mendez, a bitch, tried his best to recommend Ronaldo to us, and even asked me to come and inspect it in person, but he turned around and sold it to the Chinese."

"Coach, calm down! Calm down!"

Seeing Ferguson's blushing face getting more and more excited, Peter Kenyon was so frightened that he hurried forward to comfort him, for fear that he would not be able to breathe again and then pass over.

"call"

It took Ferguson a long time to recover.

"Send Mendes to meet me."

"He said it's too late to disturb your rest, and he will visit you some other day."

"You tell him, if you don't come today, you will never want to do business with Manchester United again."
