Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 216 Hunting Kaka
Three years, just three years.

That Chinese man named Chen Ran took Crystal Palace from an unknown small club in the English Championship to the champion of the Premier League, the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

And now Crystal Palace has reached the final of the UEFA Champions League this season, and it is very likely to further become the Champions League champion.

Looking at the achievements made by Chen Ran leading the Crystal Palace, Bosco always felt that it was not true, even if it was a novel, he would not dare to write like this.

However, this also made Bosco more interested in Crystal Palace. He felt that it was a good idea for Kaka to join such a fast-rising emerging giant club, so he recommended Crystal Palace to his son.

"Crystal Palace? Chen Ran's club?"

"Huh? Do you know Chen Ran, the owner of Crystal Palace Club?"

Hearing that his son seemed to be very familiar with the boss of Crystal Palace, Bosco couldn't help being surprised.

Because Bosco and Kaka don't usually live together, he doesn't know that Kaka and Caroline once received Chen Ran and Cheryl.

"Acquaintance, the relationship is not bad. When he brought his girlfriend to Milan to watch the fashion week, Caroline and I once received them."

"Oh? Then what do you think of this Chen Ran? Is it easy to get along with?"

Hearing that his son still had such a relationship with Chen Ran, the boss of Crystal Palace, Bosco became even more interested.

"It's not bad. Chen Ran is easy to get along with. He's not much older than me, and he doesn't put on airs. If you don't tell me, you won't be able to tell that he is the owner of a top British club."

"That's good. It seems that the Crystal Palace is indeed a good choice. Son, since you and Chen Ran have a good relationship, how about making the Crystal Palace the first choice?"

"Yes. However, Dad, I think it's better to wait for this matter. Maybe AC ​​Milan can get through this difficulty safely."

"You are still too young. Once this kind of thing gets involved, how can it be unscathed? Maybe AC ​​Milan's punishment is not as severe as Juventus, but it must not be light."

"Son, it's right to listen to Dad. Let's get in touch with Crystal Palace first. If AC Milan can not be punished, then you can stay here. If AC Milan is severely punished, then we will transfer to Crystal Palace. How? Sample?"

"Okay. But dad, when you go to contact the Crystal Palace, you have to make this premise clear to them first. Don't let AC Milan have nothing to do at that time. If I don't go to the Crystal Palace, I will offend Chen Ran."

"Don't worry, son, your father is still clear about this. No matter whether the transfer is successful or not, it will definitely not affect your relationship with Chen Ran."

"That's good"

Bosco is still very interested in letting his son leave AC Milan for Crystal Palace.

Now AC Milan is in a whirlpool, and no one knows when the ship will capsize.

As Kaka's father, he must put his son's future and interests first.

Although Bosco didn't know the saying "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall", he still understood the truth.

After discussing with Kaka, Bosco couldn't wait to call the little fat man the next day, saying that he was going to London to visit the Crystal Palace Club in person.

After the little fat man received the call, he immediately found Chen Ran's office and reported the matter to Chen Ran.

"What? You mean Kaka's father is coming to visit our Crystal Palace club?"

Hearing the news about the little fat man, Chen Ran was also a little surprised.

According to his vision, Ibrahimovic, who is at the epicenter of the earthquake in Juventus, is the one who should contact Crystal Palace first.

As a result, there was no movement from Ibrahimovic's side, but there was news from Kaka's side first.

It seems that having a professional agent is too important for a player.

After all, the current situation is obvious, whoever contacts first will lose the initiative to negotiate.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Raiola, who should be more anxious, can hold their breath. Raiola is worthy of being a big agent, and he is much more professional than Kaka's father, a half-way monk.

"Yes. I thought it would be Zlatan Ibrahimovic who contacted us first, but I didn't expect that it was Kaka who made the first move."

"Did Kaka's father say when he will come?"

"tomorrow."

"???you sure?"

Chen Ran was shocked again, are you in such a hurry?
"It is indeed tomorrow."

The little fat man spread his hands, he never thought that Kaka's father would be so swift and swift in his actions.

"Okay, I see. After you go to the airport to pick up the person tomorrow, I will receive him personally."

"Erchen, you don't need to come forward now, right? It won't be too late to see him after I touch his bottom first."

For Chen Ran to see Kaka's father in such a hurry, the little fat man was also a little puzzled, this is not like Chen Ran's style of doing things.

"Didn't I accompany Cheryl to Milan to watch Fashion Week last time? Kaka took his wife to receive us, and everyone got along very well. So, this time, I have to personally meet Kaka's father in person, This has nothing to do with transfers."

"In this way, you can find a five-star hotel near the club for Kaka's father, and I will bear all his board and lodging expenses in London this time. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I will arrange it."

After dismissing the little fat man, Chen Ran began to recall the situation about Kaka's father in his memory.

In his previous life, before Kaka transferred from AC Milan to Real Madrid, there was a transfer scandal.

At that time, Mansur's consortium had just acquired the Manchester City club, and it was spending money all over the world to introduce stars.

At that time, Kaka beat Messi and Ronaldo, won the Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer, and he was in full swing.

Affected by the phone door incident, AC Milan at this time has also shown its decline.The problem of aging players in the team is serious, and the boss Berlusconi is no longer willing to pay for the team, so he can only barely maintain the situation by exempting some old veterans from visas.

As a result, the Manchester City club saw an opportunity to buy Kaka.

In order to introduce Kaka, Manchester City offered a sky-high transfer fee of more than [-] million euros to AC Milan, which shocked the football world.

Although the transfer did not take place in the end, Kaka's father Bosco, who was running around in it, attracted everyone's attention for the first time.

According to Manchester City’s then CEO Gary Cook later recalled in an interview, Kaka’s father, Bosco, had only one concern during the entire transfer negotiation process, and that was what price Manchester City was willing to offer for Kaka. contract.

Although Chen Ran didn't know whether Gary Cook's statement was true, at least it could provide a reference for his next contact with Kaka's father.

The next day, after the little fat man took Bosco from the airport to the hotel and settled down, Chen Ran also visited the hotel in person after the club got off work, and had dinner with the little fat man with Bosco.

It can be inferred from Kaka's appearance that Bosco's appearance is also quite good.It's just that the top of his head is a little sparse, which makes Chen Ran worried about Kaka's future.

"Mr. Bosco, welcome to London. Are you used to this hotel? If not, let Louis change you to another hotel?"

"Haha, Chen, you are so kind. This hotel is a five-star hotel, and the conditions are already very good. I am very satisfied, so don't bother Louis any more."

Frankly speaking, Bosco didn't expect Chen Ran to value him so much.Not only did he send the sports manager of Crystal Palace to pick him up at the airport in person, but he also arranged everything such as hotel board and lodging properly, so that he couldn't find any faults.

And more importantly, when he was about to pay, that Louis also said that all the expenses of his visit to London this time would be paid by Chen Ran.

Although it was only the first time they met, Bosco had to admit that this Chen Ran really left a pretty good impression on him.

"Just as long as you are satisfied. Kaka and I are good friends. You are his father, that is, my elder. When you come to London, it's like visiting the younger generation's house. You are welcome."

"Haha, okay. Chen, Kaka is really lucky to have a friend like you."

"You are too polite. It's a bit late today. How about I ask Louis to pick you up for a visit to my Crystal Palace club tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, I came to London this time just to take a look at your Crystal Palace club. Maybe this is where Kaka will play in the future."

While talking and laughing, Bosco slightly mentioned the purpose of his visit to London this time.Then everyone tacitly chatted about other topics, and now is not the time to talk about this.

The next morning, Chen Ran arrived at the training base of the Crystal Palace Club early.After the little fat man brought Bosco over, Chen Ran personally took him around for a tour.

Frankly speaking, there is really nothing to see at the current Crystal Palace training base.Except for the addition of some training equipment, there is no difference from before Chen Ran entered the Crystal Palace.

The facilities were outdated, and there was a shabby smell of a small club everywhere, which made Bosco, who was used to the aristocratic style of AC Milan, frown a little.

Of course Chen Ran knew that this training base was no longer worthy of the current Crystal Palace club, but he didn't think it was worth spending money on this training base.

Chen Ran naturally saw Bosco's expression, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Mr. Bosco, this is only a temporary training base for Crystal Palace. After the new stadium is built, the team will all move there. It will also be completely demolished and a new training base will be rebuilt."

"I don't know if you are interested in going to the new stadium under construction to have a look?"

"Oh? Is it possible? Then I must go and see it with my own eyes. I have also seen the painted drawing of your new stadium on the Internet. It is very spectacular."

Bosco, who was a little disappointed by the situation at the Crystal Palace training base, was aroused by Chen Ran again.

You know, in Italy, even giant clubs like Juventus and AC Milan do not have their own stadiums.

Now that Crystal Palace can build their own new stadium, it also shows everyone the club's strong financial resources from the side.

The new Crystal Palace stadium, which started construction last year, is still a large construction site.Dust was flying everywhere, Chen Ran waited for a while and left quickly.

Although it is still far from completion, the huge scale still makes Bosco nod repeatedly.

It is indeed a stadium with 6 people, coupled with the spectacular shape of the Crystal Palace, it will definitely be a kind of enjoyment to play here after it is completed in the future.

After a day of tossing and sending Bosco back to the hotel, the little fat man drove Chen Ran home.

"Chen, the purpose of Bosco's visit to London is basically clear. It's still because of match-fixing. He is worried that AC Milan will be punished heavily, so he came to explore the way for Kaka first."

"As expected. It is estimated that among the club players involved in the case in Italy, there is no one who is not contacting himself."

"Chen, you have been laying out the game since last year, and now one of them has finally taken the initiative. What are you going to do?"

"You can tell Bosco directly tomorrow that the Crystal Palace club and I welcome Kaka very much. If Kaka is willing to come to Crystal Palace, his annual salary will be twice that of AC Milan, and the bonus will be calculated separately."

"clear."

In the evening, Chen Ran, who came home and saw Cheryl, suddenly thought of Caroline.

If Kaka's father and wife both want him to join Crystal Palace, then it must add some weight to the success of this transfer.

"Honey, are you free recently?"

It was time to watch dramas with Cheryl again at night, Chen Ran nestled on the sofa with Cheryl in his arms.

"It's not busy these days. What's the matter, my dear?"

"Didn't Kaka and Caroline welcome us when we went to Milan to watch Fashion Week last time? I think if you have time, you can also invite them to London."

"Hmph, it's definitely not that simple. Tell me honestly, what's your purpose?"

Cheryl, who was already very familiar with Chen Ran, rolled her eyes, and didn't believe Chen Ran's nonsense at all.

"Hey, dear, you know me. Didn't there recently be a match-fixing scandal in Italian football? Kaka's AC Milan club is also involved, so I want to take this opportunity to buy Kaka to Crystal Palace."

"I knew you really didn't mean well. I can call for you, but I can't guarantee that they will come. After all, Italy must be in a mess now, how can they have the mind to come out and play."

"Honey, you don't know anything about this. Two days ago, Kaka's father came to London and inspected my Crystal Palace Club. He is looking for a way out for his son."

"Huh? So Kaka also intends to come to Crystal Palace?"

"This is still uncertain. So, you still need to do Caroline's work."

"Okay, dear, just leave it to me, Caroline."
