Chapter 286 Intrigues in the transfer market
Spain, FC Barcelona, Office of the President.
This time, sports director Fernandez and coach Frank Rijkaard came to meet club president Laporta.
"Mr. Chairman, this is the list of candidates that I discussed with Frank's coaching team. You can see if there are any problems. If not, then we are ready to start formal negotiations with Crystal Palace."
While speaking, Fernandez handed the list to Laporta.
The list was densely packed with the names of Crystal Palace players. If Chen Ran saw it, his blood pressure would soar with anger.
"Frank, which player from Crystal Palace do you most want?"
After roughly glancing at the list, Laporta immediately looked at Rijkaard.
"Mr. Chairman, of course I want Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Ibrahimovic, the core players of Crystal Palace, but I think the Crystal Palace club will definitely not agree."
"So, I think the more realistic choice is to choose among the substitute players of Crystal Palace, so the possibility of a transaction is relatively high."
After listening to Rijkaard's opinion, Laporta did not express his opinion in a hurry, but looked at Fernandez next to him.
"Robert, what do you think?"
"Mr. Chairman, I also agree with Frank."
Fernandez is as slick as ever.
"Then do you have any target candidates?"
Seeing that his two subordinates agreed, Laporta nodded without knowing if he could, and continued to ask.
Fernandez and Rijkaard glanced at each other. Under Fernandez's "humility", Rijkaard finally stood up to answer Laporta's question.
"Mr. Chairman, after everyone's discussion, we think that we can propose to Crystal Palace to add Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the deal at the beginning, so as to test the reaction of the Crystal Palace Club."
"It's best if they agree. If they don't agree, then it's not too late for us to throw out the goals we really want. Do you think it's okay?"
"It's a good idea, it can be done. But why choose Ibrahimovic instead of Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka?"
While Laporta asked questions, he picked up the list and carefully checked the relevant data of Ibrahimovic.
"Mr. Chairman, although we have quite a few forwards in Barcelona, they are basically quick, skilled and agile forwards. We lack a powerful center forward who can serve as a fulcrum in front. That's why we chose Zlatan Ibrahimovic. strange."
Hearing Rijkaard's explanation, Laporta recalled Barcelona's existing striker staffing.
It was found that, as Rijkaard said, no matter whether it is Eto'o, Saviola, Giuly, Gudjohnsen or Messi, none of them are Zhengyin centers.
"It makes sense. But as you judge, Crystal Palace is unlikely to agree to let Zlatan Ibrahimovic transfer. So, who is your real target?"
Although Laporta is not a football professional, but as the chairman of Barcelona, he still has a basic vision.
"Mr. Chairman, the target we really want to introduce this time is actually another main center of Crystal Palace, Luca Toni."
"Luka Tony?"
Hearing this not-so-famous name, Laporta once again looked for Tony's relevant data on the list.
No way, the Crystal Palace can be said to be star-studded now.
With Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Kaka and even Modric, these stars who staged world waves at every turn, it really doesn't highlight the importance of Tony, who has a simple and unpretentious style of play.
However, in the eyes of professionals like Rijkaard, Tony is no less important than Ibrahimovic.
"This Luca Tony's statistics in all aspects are pretty good, but he is already 30 years old this year, isn't he a little older?"
After checking Tony's data performance in Crystal Palace in the past three seasons, Laporta still recognizes Tony's ability, but he is a little dissatisfied with his age.
"Mr. Chairman, it is precisely because Tony is 30 years old this year that Crystal Palace is more likely to let him go. After all, he has been the main center forward of Crystal Palace for the past three seasons. And 30 years old is not too old. Playing another three year should be fine."
Seeing that Laporta was a little dissatisfied with Tony's age, Rijkaard quickly explained that he really wanted a Zhengyin center.
"Okay, just follow your plan."
After hesitating for a while, Laporta finally agreed to Rijkaard's plan.
Perhaps out of fear of Laporta changing his mind, Fernandez and Rijkaard acted quickly.The reply about Cesc Fabregas' transfer appeared on Chen Ran's desk the next day.
"Chen, Barcelona actually wanted Fabregas to add money in exchange for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. They really wanted to go crazy."
Barcelona's reply made little fat Louis laugh directly.
"They've got their eye on Ibrahimovic."
Chen Ran was not angry, but after seeing Barcelona's reply, it reminded him of a sky-high deal in his previous life.
At that time, Ibrahimovic moved to Inter Milan after the Calciopoli incident, and also aroused Barcelona's interest by virtue of his excellent performance.
In the end, Barcelona paid 4600 million euros plus Eto'o's sky-high transfer fee to introduce Ibrahimovic.
But after only one season, Ibrahimovic left Barcelona because of conflicts with coach Guardiola.
This transfer was also successfully selected as one of Barcelona's top ten loss-making transactions.
Now it seems that the inertia of history is still so terrible. Going around, Barcelona is still eyeing Ibrahimovic.
Since Barcelona is so persistent, if he stops this deal, wouldn't Barcelona lose one of the top ten loss-making deals?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran felt that he could not be so selfish.
The top ten losing trades should be neat and tidy.
Chen Ran secretly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. As his friend, little fat Louis, who knew him very well, immediately noticed his abnormality.
"Chen, you are not tempted by Barcelona's proposal, are you?"
"Louis, do you still remember the Messi I asked you to contact?"
Chen Ran didn't answer the little fat man's question, but asked him back.
"I remember, I had a meal with Messi's father at that time, and we witnessed our club's first UEFA Cup."
Mentioning this incident, the little fat man was very impressed.
When Chen Ran asked him to invite Messi's father to watch the UEFA Cup final while having dinner, Messi's father was really stunned.
"You reply to Barcelona and say that you want Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but you need to exchange Messi and Cesc Fabregas."
"What? Chen, are you serious? Are you really going to trade Ibrahimovic for that Argentine kid?"
The little fat man's small eyes were wide open, and his mouth almost couldn't close.
"It's still early to say these things. Now it's just a trial stage for both sides. Let's see the reaction of Barcelona first."
Chen Ran didn't seem to see the surprised expression of the little fat man, and took a sip of coffee on his own.
"Okay, as long as you think about it."
Seeing Chen Ran like this, the little fat man who knew him very well knew that Chen Ran had made up his mind, so he stopped talking.
"Louis, this matter must be kept secret until the result of the discussion is reached. The contact with Barcelona will be handled by you yourself, understand?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
The next day, when Barcelona received a reply from Crystal Palace, both Fernandez and Rijkaard were surprised.
Pulling Ibrahimovic into Cesc Fabregas's deal was nothing more than their temptation, but they did not expect that Crystal Palace actually gave a positive answer.
This surprised and pleased both Fernandez and Rijkaard. They are not afraid that Crystal Palace will ask a high price, but they will not talk to you.
However, both Fernandez and Rijkaard dare not make decisions without authorization when it comes to Messi, the star of hope that is unanimously recognized by the Barcelona club.
So, the two of them once again found the office of Barcelona President Laporta.
"Mr. Chairman, this is the reply just sent by the Crystal Palace Club. There are some things we can't make up our minds about, and you need to decide for yourself."
While introducing the situation, Fernandez put the reply sent by the little fat man in front of Laporta.
"Crystal Palace actually agreed to let Zlatan Ibrahimovic transfer?"
Hearing Fernandez's report, Laporta was as surprised and delighted as the two had reacted before.
But when he heard Messi's name come up, the smile on his face faded away.
"Messi can't, this little guy is our future core player in Barcelona, please let Crystal Palace replace someone."
On Messi's issue, Laporta just hesitated, and rejected Crystal Palace's proposal without thinking too much.
"Mr. Chairman, in fact, we have a lot of small players like Messi who are fast and skilled. But a powerful center like Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has comprehensive skills, is tall but not stupid, looks at the world football It is also rare, and it would be a pity to miss it."
Fernandez and Rijkaard glanced at each other, still not wanting to give up this rare opportunity.
The current Messi is not the top star who will be called the "peerless double pride" with Ronaldo in the future.Therefore, in the eyes of the senior leaders of Barcelona, it is not unacceptable to exchange with Ibrahimovic.
"Needless to say, just reply like this, ask Crystal Palace to choose another candidate, and see how they react before making a decision."
Laporta waved his hand and stopped the persuasion of his subordinates.However, he didn't say anything more.
Another day later, the chubby Louis, who received a reply from Barcelona, ran to Chen Ran's office excitedly again.
"Chen, Barcelona refused to provide the Messi you want, let's change someone."
"That's it"
Chen Ran tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers, secretly trying to figure out what the Barcelona executives were thinking.
"Chen, since Barcelona asked us to change someone, how about we just choose their midfielder Ronaldinho?"
Seeing Chen Ran not speaking for a long time, the little fat man came over and came up with an idea.
"Ronaldinho? That guy likes going to nightclubs more than you do. I'm afraid he will spoil the atmosphere in the Crystal Palace locker room after he comes."
Hearing the bad idea from the little fat man, Chen Ran gave him an annoyed look.
"Hey, then who do you want to replace? I think the strength of other players in Barcelona is not as good as our own players."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. So, you reply to Barcelona, if they are not willing to exchange Messi and Fabregas for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, then the deal is terminated. "
"Huh? Then let's buy Cesc Fabregas?"
Hearing Chen Ran's order, the little fat man was stunned again.
"You know 'playing hard to get'? Let Barcelona dry out first. Now is the time to compete for patience, and whoever loses his temper first will suffer."
"Understood, I'll go back and tell them the negotiations are terminated."
So, when Fernandez and Rijkaard reappeared in Laporta's office, from the ugly faces of the two, Laporta knew that what they brought today must not be good news.
"Tell me, how did the Crystal Palace respond?"
"Mr President, Crystal Palace said that if we don't agree to exchange Messi and Fabregas for Ibrahimovic, they will terminate the deal."
"Terminate the deal? So simply? No bargaining?"
Surprised, Laporta reached for Crystal Palace's reply and read it again in person.
"Yes, Mr. President, it seems that they are not even going to take Cesc Fabregas now."
"That's it, you say, is it possible that this is a deliberate trick by Crystal Palace, just to force us to make concessions?"
Being able to be the chairman of the Barcelona club, Laporta is not a fuel-efficient lamp.He also quickly became suspicious of Crystal Palace's reaction.
"Mr. Chairman, in fact, Crystal Palace is not short of players in the midfield position. Whether it is Kaka, Vieira, Modric, Mascherano and Yaya Toure, they are all outstanding players."
"Even if Fabregas goes to Crystal Palace, he can only be a substitute player, so there seems to be no reason for them to buy Fabregas."
Rijkaard analyzed the situation of Crystal Palace for Laporta from the tactical level. I have to say that his analysis is very reasonable, so both Laporta and Fernandez nodded in agreement with his judgment.
"Okay, I see. Frank, I ask you a very serious question now, does Barcelona really need Zlatan Ibrahimovic?"
