Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 31 Empty Gloves White Wolf

When Laporta received the news from Luis through his father's relationship, he was also taken aback.

The owner of Crystal Palace, a small English championship team, said he wanted to negotiate a big deal with him?

Having just been elected as the chairman of Barcelona, ​​one of the world's top clubs, Laporta almost laughed out loud at the time of his spring breeze.

It's true that any cat or dog dares to come to him.

After casually glancing at the information about Chen Ran that the assistant found, Laporta was about to throw it into the wastebasket.

Suddenly, he was attracted by another identity of Chen Ran.

The head coach of Crystal Palace?

Club owner and head coach?

Laporta's eyes widened, and he took a closer look.

That's right, the owner and head coach of the club.

Suddenly, Laporta became interested in Chen Ran again.

It must be very interesting for Chen Ran to do such a wonderful thing, so why not meet him.

In the middle of the week, after Chen Ran handed over the training to the three of Guardiola, he flew to Barcelona with the little fat man.

When Laporta saw Chen Ran, he was surprised again.

Young, really too young, probably not yet 30 years old.

Laporta's assistant probably didn't take Chen Ran seriously. The information they collected for Laporta was very simple, not even Chen Ran's age.

"Hi Mr. Laporta, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young. You are probably the youngest football club owner and head coach in the world."

"Haha, I'm afraid this is because there is no club owner who will personally serve as the head coach."

"Then what do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Laporta took advantage of the opportunity to ask the question in his heart, which was also the main reason why he was willing to meet Chen Ran today.

"The reason is very simple. I like football, so I went to take the coaching certificate. But at my age, and I am not a player, it is estimated that no professional club will ask me to be the head coach. So, I had to buy another club , and appointed himself."

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is indeed a very interesting person."

Laporta was amused and laughed, and at the same time left the impression that Chen Ran was a rich man.

Buying a football team just because you disagree, even though it's just a Championship club, that's not something ordinary people can do.

A good start, let both parties have a good chat.

Before long, Laporta brought the topic back to the point.

"Mr. Chen, the news I received is that you want to discuss a big deal with me, right?"

"That's right. Mr. Laporta, what do you think of Barcelona's La Masia youth academy?"

"La Masia?"

Upon hearing this name, Laporta instantly cheered up.

Since Laporta was elected as the chairman of Barcelona and introduced Brazilian star Ronaldinho from Paris Saint-Germain, his popularity in Barcelona has reached its peak, and it can be said that the wind is smooth.

However, the fly in the ointment, the only trouble, comes from the La Masia youth training camp.

It's not that the work of the La Masia youth academy is not doing well.

On the contrary, they have done a great job and cultivated many outstanding young talents.

Even because of this, his reputation spread far and wide, attracting the attention of many European giants.

Each of these wealthy clubs hopes to pick their favorite target from here and take him away.

Of course, it is best to take it away for free.

Especially these British clubs headed by Arsenal and Manchester United are extremely shameless.

I always want to take advantage of the differences in the laws of the two countries, and use nothing to do nothing.

Because Spanish law stipulates that a professional contract can only be signed when you are 18 years old; in the UK, you only need to be 16 years old.

In other words, for the players trained by the La Masia youth training camp, before the age of 18, Barcelona has no way to sign a professional contract with them.

Without the constraints of a professional contract, they are all free agents and can leave for free at any time.

Laporta has received an alert from the La Masia youth training camp, and many good seedlings have been targeted by British clubs, and they are likely to be in close contact.

Such as Cesc Fabregas, such as Pique, such as.
For this reason, Laporta was distressed.

These very talented seedlings cultivated by his own hard work, but he can only watch them being abducted, and there is nothing he can do.

Because Laporta can't make any promises, neither can sign a professional contract, nor can they guarantee that they can play in the first team. (Messi is special, it is difficult to copy)

Barcelona is a giant, a team that competes for the championship every year.

The pressure of performance makes it impossible for the head coach of the first team to commit to using these children who have just turned 16 years old.

Therefore, the current La Masia youth training camp has become Laporta's heart disease.

At this time, Chen Ran suddenly mentioned La Masia, and he was also from the British club, which made Laporta's nerves tense immediately.

"La Masia is the world's top football youth training school and is the pride of Barcelona. I will not allow anyone to destroy it."

Looking at Laporta who instantly turned into a Spanish bullfight, Chen Ran was secretly happy. It seemed that he really hit his sore spot.

"Mr. Laporta, I heard that La Masia has been in a lot of trouble recently."

"What do you mean? Mr. Chen, what do you want to say?"

Laporta's face darkened, as if the happy conversation with Chen Ran had never happened before.

"Mr. Laporta, you misunderstood. In fact, I came to Barcelona this time to help you solve your troubles."

Chen Ran smiled and waved his hands. He knew that Laporta regarded him as a poacher.

"Oh? What trouble can you help me with?"

Even after hearing what Chen Ran said, Laporta still did not relax his vigilance, staring into Chen Ran's eyes with a serious face.

"I know some English clubs want to take advantage of the legal differences between Spain and the UK to take away your hard-earned players from La Masia for free, is that true?"

"That's right, Mr. Chen is very well informed."

Laporta nodded slightly. Chen Ran is also the owner of the British club, so it is not surprising to know the news.

"I can help you plug this loophole."

Chen Ran smiled and threw out his trump card.

"What? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Laporta straightened up suddenly, leaned forward, stared at Chen Ran and said word by word.

"Of course not. How can I joke about such a thing?"

"Then tell me how to plug this loophole."

Laporta was still in disbelief.

The problem that he has had a headache for a long time, can this young Chinese man solve it?

"I can sign a buy-back clause with Barcelona."

"continue."

"My plan is: you persuade those children to join my Crystal Palace, and then I sign a buy-back clause with you. When these players turn 18, Barcelona have the right to buy back these players at an agreed price. Crystal Palace can't say no."

Having said that, Chen Ran stopped and looked at Laporta thoughtfully.

Picking up the coffee on the table, he took a leisurely sip.

Really fragrant!
