Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 344 The Power of Money

The reporters were also full of curiosity about this newly arrived Abu Dhabi consortium. Now that they saw Kardun Al Mubarak speaking very well, the two sides naturally hit it off, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Taking this opportunity, Khaldoon Al Mubarak talked about the long-term plan of the Abu Dhabi consortium for the Manchester City club, what to win the Premier League championship, the Champions League championship, the establishment of a new Manchester City dynasty and so on.

In short, in one sentence, what a Premier League club can achieve, Manchester City must achieve everything.

Looking at the high-spirited and eloquent Kalduun Al Mubarak in front of them, some senior reporters immediately recalled how they attended the press conference of Chen Ran's entry into the Crystal Palace five years ago.

The same is very young, the same is an outsider, and the same is boastful.

It's just that the current Kardun Al Mubarak has a higher starting point, and his funds are much stronger than that of Chen Ran.

Didn't you see that after the Abu Dhabi consortium took over the Manchester City club, they immediately spent [-] million euros to poach the Crystal Palace?

Could it be that the savior who could defeat that Chinese man finally appeared?
Thinking of this, many reporters suddenly became excited and looked at each other tacitly.

It doesn't matter whether this Kardun Al Mubarak is really capable or bragging, as long as it can cause trouble for that Chinese man, everyone doesn't mind helping him.

This consensus became even more consistent when the reporters received bulging red envelopes after finishing their interviews.

At the Crystal Palace club, the number of reporters gathered at the gate was several times that of the Manchester City club, and even security guards caught a few guys who wanted to climb over the wall and enter the club.

"Chen, think of a way. Now the gate of our club is tightly blocked by those reporters, and no one dares to go out."

The reporters' behavior of blocking the door has seriously interfered with the normal work of the Crystal Palace Club, and Stephen, the CEO, had to come to Chen Ran for help.

Now as long as people go out from the gate of the Crystal Palace club, they will be surrounded by reporters asking non-stop.

But how do the staff of the Crystal Palace Club know what Chen Ran thinks about Manchester City's sky-high price poaching?

Everyone is a worker, what if you say the wrong thing and get fired?
So, everyone simply hid in the club and did not go out.

"Stephen, you send someone out to tell those reporters that we will hold a special press conference tomorrow to answer their questions, and let them stop blocking the door."

Chen Ran was not surprised by the reaction of these English reporters.While looking at the offer from the Manchester City club brought by the little fat man, he calmly answered Stephen's question.

"Okay, Chen, but what are you going to do with Manchester City's offer? It seems that this Abu Dhabi consortium is targeting our Crystal Palace."

As Stephen, who was negotiating on behalf of the Crystal Palace Club and the Abu Dhabi consortium, he had conducted a detailed investigation of the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium and knew that the other party was not those poor Yankees who borrowed money to buy the team.

"What should I do? Of course I rejected them all!"

Chen Ran disdainfully threw Manchester City's offer on the table, Ronaldo 2000 million euros?Messi 8000 million euros?What about sending off beggars?
Seeing Chen Ran's reaction, Stephen turned his head and glanced at the fat little Louis who was sitting on the sofa.In fact, he was still a little moved by the offer of [-] million euros.

The little fat man shook his head helplessly at Stephen. In fact, he also had some ideas about the offer from the Manchester City club. He had already tested Chen Ran's opinion just now.

Chen Ran noticed all the little moves of these two guys.Reaching out and knocking on the desk in front of him, after attracting the attention of the little fat man and Stephen, Chen Ran gave them an angry look.

"A mere [-] million euros are you tempted? Let me tell you clearly, whether it is Ronaldo, Messi or Kaka, these three people are not for sale."

"You should dispel those thoughts as soon as possible, let alone [-] million euros, even if it is doubled, I will not sell it."

Finding that Chen Ran's attitude was very firm, Little Fatty and Stephen had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​persuading Chen Ran to contact Manchester City Club.

"But, Chen, even if we don't want to sell Ronaldo and the three of them, what if Manchester City contact the players directly?"

"Judging from the current situation, the Manchester City club is indeed rich. If they really offer sky-high contracts to players and lure them to fight with us, then we will be passive."

The little fat man, who was too familiar with these small tricks in the transfer market, immediately raised his concerns.

Of course, Chen Ran was aware of the little fat man's concerns. Although it is common to contact players privately in the transfer market, this violates UEFA's relevant regulations after all and cannot be seen.

"You asked your private detectives to focus on Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaka recently. Once there is evidence that Manchester City contacted them in private, send it to me immediately."

"Okay, I'll arrange it later."

The little fat man nodded understandingly. If he could get the evidence, as long as he sued UEFA, then Manchester City would be punished for at least one transfer period and not be able to buy or sell players.

This can just give the Manchester City club a blow and let them know that they can do whatever they want without having money.

However, Kardun Al Mubarak is not a fool to be able to fully operate the Manchester City club project as a representative of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

Modern technology is so advanced, it is not difficult to pass the word to the players.

For example, now, Mendes is very excited to come to Ronaldo's mansion again.

"Chris, someone from the Manchester City club told me that as long as you are willing to transfer to Manchester City, the annual salary starts from 1500 million euros, plus bonuses."

"hiss"

The 23-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was also surprised by the big money of the Manchester City club. His current annual salary is only 500 million euros, and the other party directly offered him three times the price, which is really rich.

"Jorge, do you think this is true? Can Manchester City have so much money?"

Ronaldo couldn't believe that such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky.

Since the Abu Dhabi consortium announced the acquisition of the Manchester City club, the news of the Manchester City club has been overwhelming the sports media in England these days.

Especially when they offered a sky-high price of [-] million euros to poach Crystal Palace, it detonated the entire English media circle.

Not only the Crystal Palace Club was blocked, but even the gates of the three parties, Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi, also gathered a large number of media reporters, which made Ronaldo afraid to go out now.

"Haha, Chris, you can rest assured that the Manchester City club is backed by the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the Abu Dhabi consortium is one of the largest consortiums in the world in terms of assets. Backed by the oil-rich country of the United Arab Emirates, you say they Will there be no money?"

There are too many liars these days, and Mendes has done his homework.

"Could it be that these rich people bought a team on a whim, and then sold it when they got tired of it?"

"Huh? Chris, I didn't expect you to think of this. It's amazing."

Mendes was also taken aback by Ronaldo's words, did this kid grow up so fast?It seems that it is not easy to fool around in the future.

"Jorge, what do you mean by that? Isn't it easy to think of?"

Hearing the surprise in Mendes' words, Ronaldo gave him a very dissatisfied look.

"Haha, it's not interesting. If you can think of this, it will save me trying to persuade you."

"Huh? Jorge, are you trying to prevent me from transferring to Manchester City?"

"Are you sure you're going to play for Manchester City?"

"Well, not really."

"That's good. Chris, like you just said, I don't know if those Arabs are just playing and leaving."

"If you transfer to Manchester City and the Arabs run away after two or three years, it will be a heavy blow to your career. Therefore, my suggestion is that you continue to play in Crystal Palace."

"Of course, we also want to thank these Arabs. Originally, only Jose's offer from Real Madrid, my goal is to help you raise your annual salary to 750 million euros."

"Now with the help of these lovely Arabs, I plan to increase your annual salary to 1000 million euros. And, I am very confident that your difficult boss will agree."

Mendes, who hadn't taken advantage of anything since dealing with Chen Ran, now had a chance to make Chen Ran bow his head, and he was a little excited just thinking about it.

"1000 million euros? Can I really get that much?"

Not only Mendes, Ronaldo's eyes lit up when he heard this astonishing number.

Who doesn't like money?
"Haha, Chris, you can leave this matter to me. However, you need to postpone your vacation plans a little bit, don't go anywhere, and put on a look that if the negotiation on my side doesn't go well, you are ready to seek The appearance of the transfer. Do you understand?"

"Understood, I will stay at home and not go anywhere."

Since the offer was given to Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi at the same time, Kardun Al Mubarak naturally passed the news to the other two.

Today, Kaka's father and agent Bosco also broke through the reporters' siege and came to Kaka's home.

"Dad, why did you come here suddenly? So many reporters at the door didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Kaka, who is introverted and unsociable, hid at home and stopped going out after discovering a large number of reporters appeared in front of her house.

"I'm fine. Ricardo, I came here today because someone sent me a message. The matter is very important. I think we need to discuss it."

"Wouldn't it be the Manchester City club?"

For the Manchester City club that has turned the entire English football world upside down in the past few days, Kaka doesn't like it very much.

Especially disturbing his peaceful life, this made Kaka very unhappy.

"Ahem, that's right, it's Manchester City Club."

After taking a look at his handsome son, Bosco found that Kaka's complexion was not very good-looking, and his heart skipped a beat.

Still, what needs to be said has to be said.After all, this is a major event related to his son's future.

"They asked someone to bring me a message, saying that if you are willing to transfer to Manchester City, then you will get a huge contract with an annual salary of 1500 million euros. And, bonuses are not included."

"Dad, I have a good time in Crystal Palace and I have no plans to transfer to other teams."

Without any hesitation, Kaka bluntly rejected the olive branch extended by Manchester City.

"Ricciardo, that's 1500 million euros, which is three times your current annual salary. Don't you think about it again? This is just the asking price of the Manchester City club. If you negotiate carefully, you may get more."

Bosco is obviously a bit reluctant to part with the 1500 million euros. Playing in Manchester City for one year is worth playing in Crystal Palace for three years.

"Dad, do you think Manchester City can take away the championship trophy from Crystal Palace?"

Seeing that her father was still unwilling to give up, Kaka had no choice but to explain to him patiently.

This is also the downside of using a relative as an agent, you can't treat your dad like an employee.

"It's impossible, at least in the short term."

Although his heart has been biased towards the Manchester City club, Bosco has no way to open his eyes and tell nonsense in front of his son.Of course, he didn't forget to make a quick addition.

"However, given Manchester City a few seasons, with their strong financial resources, they will definitely be able to replace Crystal Palace and dominate the Premier League."

"Dad, I'm 26 years old this year, even if, as you said, Manchester City will be able to dominate the Premier League in a few seasons."

"But I was already old at that time. With Manchester City's financial resources, it is very likely that new players will be introduced to replace me. Those championship trophies probably have nothing to do with me."

"Instead of this, why don't I stay in Crystal Palace and enjoy the glory of the championship?"

What Kaka said made Bosco silent for a while.

Just when Kaka thought he had successfully convinced his father, Bosco suddenly shook his head again.

"Ricciardo, you have already won a lot of championship trophies, it's time to think about money."

"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your children. You have an enviable football talent, but your children may not be able to inherit this talent. Therefore, to accumulate more wealth for the children's future life, no Is it better?"

Hearing his father mentioning the child, Kaka stopped talking immediately.

I have to say that the same person has completely different ideas when they have children and when they don't have children.

Poor parents all over the world, this truth is the same in all ages and in all countries.

"Dad, let me think about it again."

"No problem, this is a big matter, and it really needs careful consideration."

In the middle of the night, Kaka tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Caroline next to her gently hugged Kaka from behind, "Honey, are you still thinking about the day's affairs?"
