Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 350 Take down De Bruyne at all costs!

"Go on."

"Okay, Mr. Chairman."

Seeing that Kardun Al Mubarak seemed to have listened to his own words, Mark Huston was greatly encouraged.

"Now, we should focus on those players who have certain abilities but are not top-notch stars. These people have limited options, and if we attract them with high salaries, the chances of success will be much greater."

"After two or three seasons like this, everyone sees that you have managed the Manchester City club very well and paid the promised salary. Only then will the top stars consider joining our Manchester City club."

After listening to Mark Hughes' analysis, although Kardun Al Mubarak was very unhappy, he had to admit that this is the real situation Manchester City is currently facing.

At this moment, he deeply realized once again that the real problem is the problem that money can't solve.

"Then what specific method do you have?"

After facing up to the current situation of the Manchester City Club, Kardun Al Mubarak decided to abandon his fantasy and adopt Mark Hughes' opinion.

Seeing that the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came, Mark Hughes immediately began to talk about the plan he had prepared long ago.

"Mr. Chairman, I think we can now focus on the two groups of South American players and African players. Compared with European players, players in these places are much less able to resist the temptation of money."

"On the other hand, we can also look for stars who can't be the main players in the giant clubs. These people are not incompetent, maybe they just have a bad relationship with the head coach, or they don't fit the head coach's coaching style."

"Such a multi-faceted approach, coupled with the strong financial support of our Manchester City club, I believe we will definitely gain something."

"Well, that's right. Mark, just follow your plan, and I'll get someone to cooperate with you fully. You can do it freely, our budget has no upper limit."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Chairman, I will definitely not disappoint your trust in me!"

After receiving the authorization from Kardun Al Mubarak, Mark Hughes immediately mobilized all his contacts and began to contact players everywhere, including Robinho who could not play the main position in Real Madrid.

Lured by the high salary of the Manchester City club, Robinho finally agreed to transfer to Manchester City, so the Manchester City club immediately made an official offer to Real Madrid.

When Mourinho saw the offer, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the Manchester City club would have a crush on Robinho. Then I will help with this and make it more difficult for that guy Chen Ran to win the championship."

"Robinho? Jose, are you sure you are helping the Manchester City club? As far as I know, this Robinho is also very good off the field."

Mendes, who was sitting on the sidelines, curled his lips disapprovingly. For him, a big agent, the private life performance of players off the court is also an important indicator for his investigation.

"Of course I know that. I've seen all the gossip news. Anyway, I'm planning to get rid of Robinho. Now that someone who has been taken advantage of is willing to take over the offer, I can just sell it for a high price."

"As for whether Robinho has enhanced the strength of the Manchester City club or brought the nightclub culture, it depends on the ability of the management of the Manchester City club."

Since both Real Madrid and Robinho gave the green light to the transfer, and Manchester City made a generous move, the transfer was quickly finalized.

As soon as the contract was signed, Manchester City couldn't wait to announce the transfer news. They introduced the famous Brazilian star Robinho from Real Madrid for 4200 million euros.

Although Robinho is not the top star, he is at least a quasi-first-class player at the age of 24.

In order to show his own strength, Kardun Al Mubarak selected Robinho as the first shot after the Abu Dhabi consortium entered the Manchester City club and publicized it everywhere.

The media reporters who received the benefits naturally cooperated with all their strength.

All of a sudden, the news of Robinho's transfer to Manchester City occupied the front page of all newspapers in England that published football news.

"After the Abu Dhabi consortium entered the Manchester City club, they immediately introduced the Brazilian star Robinho from the Real Madrid club with a lot of money, demonstrating their strong financial strength."

"With the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium, I believe Robinho is only their first signing. Let us wait and see who else will join the Manchester City club."

"After the Chinese, Russians, Americans, and now the Arabs have also come, the Premier League has now become a stage where major forces in the world compete."

"The Abu Dhabi consortium behind the Manchester City club is a financial consortium with stronger financial resources than Chelsea's owner Abramovich. The days when the Chinese in Crystal Palace dominated the Premier League are coming to an end."

When little fat Louis brought the newspaper with the news of Robinho's transfer to Chen Ran, he saw Chen Ran sneer and threw the newspaper away.

"Chen, what's the matter? You don't seem to care much about this transfer from Manchester City?"

Fatty Louis looked at Chen Ran in surprise, and asked a puzzled question.

"Robinho has certain abilities, but he also has the common problem of many Brazilian players, that is, his lack of self-control."

"Luis, you can check the gossip newspapers in Madrid. There are plenty of news about Robinho's obsession with nightclubs."

"You said, why should I worry about this kind of player joining the Manchester City club? I hope that he will have fun in Manchester, and it is best to drag other Manchester City club players into the water."

As a reborn person, Chen Ran still had vivid memories of Robinho's misdeeds.What about being addicted to nightclubs, hunting for chickens in groups, and even being involved in rape cases more than once.

The Manchester City club is now spending so much money to buy Robinho, it can only be said that people are stupid and have a lot of money.

"Huh? Is this guy playing so fancy?"

After Robinho became famous in Santos, Brazil, he transferred directly to the Real Madrid club.He has been playing in La Liga for the past few seasons, so Fatty Luis doesn't pay much attention to him.

"That's right. Luis, when you collect information in the future, you must not let go of the gossip news about the players' private lives. These news seem to have nothing to do with football, but sometimes they are more important than the player's game data."

"Okay, Chen, I will add this item when I go back."

The little fat man nodded, and then talked about his real purpose for coming here today.

"Chen, among the two young players you told me about last time, I have already arranged for Van Dijk from the Netherlands to be signed by the Willem II club.

"Youth training camp? Louis, you inform William II to directly promote Van Dijk to the first team and let him train with the first team. In some unimportant games, you can give him a little chance to play appropriately. "

Hearing William II's arrangement, Chen Ran frowned slightly.

"First team? Chen, Van Dijk is not yet 17 years old. Is it too early?"

Fatty Louis looked at Chen Ran in surprise, it seemed that he had to pay more attention to this kid named Van Dijk.

"How early? Cesc Fabregas started playing in the Premier League at the age of 16. Now it's just arranging for Van Dijk to adapt to the Eredivisie league in advance, just do as I say."

"Ok, I see."

The little fat man nodded, and then talked about De Bruyne.

"Chen, De Bruyne, the Belgian kid, has already rejected the invitation from the Willem II club. I plan to invite him to join in the name of the Crystal Palace club later."

"It's just that once we have revealed the name of the Crystal Palace club, it will be difficult to avoid the situation where Kompany was introduced by the opposing lion."

"So, I would like to ask, what is your budget for De Bruyne?"

"De Bruyne?"

Hearing this name, Chen Ran couldn't help evoking memories of De Bruyne's past life.

In fact, the first Premier League club De Bruyne joined was Chelsea, but he never got enough opportunities to play, so he was loaned to the Bundesliga.

Although he performed well in the Bundesliga, he still has no chance at Chelsea.So disheartened, De Bruyne simply officially transferred to the Bundesliga team Wolfsburg.

After moving to Wolfsburg, De Bruyne was out of control.Not only helped the team get No.2 in the Bundesliga, but also won the German Cup.

And he himself became the assist king of the Bundesliga, and was voted the German Footballer of the Year.

Later, De Bruyne's outstanding performance in the Bundesliga attracted the attention of the Manchester City club, and finally introduced the Belgian midfielder at a sky-high price.

After moving to the Manchester City club, De Bruyne broke out completely. Not only did his personal data explode, but he also helped the team sweep England and won various championships.

How could Chen Ran let go of this kind of player?Of course you have to dig into your own bowl.

"Louis, you can make your own decision within 1500 million euros."

"1500 million euros?"

A little unable to believe his ears, Little Fatty Louis repeated.

"You heard me right, 1500 million euros."

"However, Chen is also a Belgian player. The Kompany we just introduced only cost 1200 million euros. This De Bruyne is not yet 17 years old. Is it worth that much money?"

"Louis, when did I miss it?"

"Well, you are the boss and you have the final say."

After feeling the importance Chen Ran attached to De Bruyne, the little fat guy Louis made a trip to Belgium himself.

As expected, it was discovered that the Crystal Palace club had taken a fancy to the Genk club of its own players, and the lion immediately opened its mouth and offered a sky-high price of 2000 million euros.

Damn, a child under 17 dares to ask for 2000 million euros. This is killing the Crystal Palace Club like a fat sheep.

The chubby Louis, who almost turned his nose out of anger, really wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that this was Chen Ran's favorite player and would definitely be a first-class player in the future, Louis forcibly suppressed his anger and began to talk slowly with the Genk Club.

The owner of the Genk club is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

After seeing the news that Manchester City Club spent 4200 million euros to introduce Robinho, thinking that Manchester City Club and Crystal Palace Club are now direct competitors in the Premier League, this guy even took the initiative to send someone to find Manchester City Club.

Having been authorized, Mark Hughes, the head coach who currently presides over the transfer affairs of the Manchester City club, received representatives of the Genk club.

However, the Genk club's asking price of 2000 million euros is indeed a bit high. After all, De Bruyne is still just a young player under the age of 17 who has not passed any adult competition test.

It would be a bit too hasty to grab the Crystal Palace club just based on their asking price.

If it is 200 million euros, Mark Hughes can decide for himself.

But for 2000 million euros, he didn't dare to decide on his own.No matter how rich the Abu Dhabi consortium is, it is impossible to allow him to spend it randomly.

So, Mark Hughes found the club chairman Kardun Al Mubarak.

"Mr. Chairman, there is one thing that may interest you."

"Oh? Is there any progress in the introduction of any player?"

The successful introduction of Robinho has changed Kardun Al Mubarak's attitude towards Mark Hughes a lot, and the conversation has become much closer.

"There is progress in the introduction of a player, but the situation is a bit special, and it needs to be decided by you, Mr. Chairman."

Immediately afterwards, Mark Hughes talked about De Bruyne.

"So, it was the Genk Club who approached us on its own initiative?"

"Yes, sir. That Genk club obviously wants us to compete with Crystal Palace so that they can get more transfer fees."

Mark Hughes didn't hide anything, and directly pointed out the small thoughts of the owner of the Genk Club.

"It does not matter."

Kardun Al Mubarak reached out and stopped Mark Hughes.

"Mark, I just want to know if De Bruyne is worth our shot. As long as it's worth it, it doesn't matter how much money you spend."

"Forehead"

This time, Mark Hughes didn't dare to answer easily.

In case he says yes now, but De Bruyne doesn't kick it out, then all the responsibility will be borne by him.

"Mr. Chairman, this De Bruyne is not yet 17 years old. He is still playing in the Genk youth team. He has not been tested in any adult games. There is really no way to draw conclusions."

While speaking, Mark Hughes quietly looked at Kardun Al Mubarak's face.

Seeing that the smile on Kardun Al Mubarak's face slowly disappeared, Mark Hughes quickly added.

"However, I have sent the club's best scouts to the Genk club to conduct a comprehensive inspection of De Bruyne. It just takes a little time, Mr. Chairman."

"Well, I see, you did a good job."

Hearing what Mark Hughes added later, Kardun Al Mubarak's complexion improved.

"The Chinese man has always been known for his precise vision in selecting players. If he can be spotted by him, this De Bruyne must have something special."

"Mark, don't wait for the scout report. Take De Bruyne at all costs!"

"Yes, Mr. Chairman!"
