Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 351 Someone is going to be unlucky

The owner of the Genk Club is also a cunning old silver coin.

When the scout sent by Mark Hughes to investigate De Bruyne came to the Genk club, he deliberately arranged for the scout to meet the little fat boy Luis unexpectedly, and enthusiastically introduced the two to each other .

Whether it is Luiz or the scouts of the Manchester City club, no one is a fool, and of course they know the intention of the Genk club owner to arrange this.

Everyone greeted each other politely on the surface, at least the scene was passable.

As soon as he got back to the hotel, Louis immediately called Chen Ran.

"Chen, I saw a scout from Manchester City at Genk."

"Are you sure?"

Hearing the little fat man's report, Chen Ran's heart tightened suddenly, this matter might be troublesome.

"Very sure. And the owner of the Genk club personally introduced it to me."

"Introduced by the owner of the Genk Club himself? Couldn't this be planned by that old guy?"

Chen Ran immediately recognized the trickiness, and guessed the truth of the matter straight to the point.

"I also think that this old guy did a good job. It may even be the Manchester City club he contacted proactively. The purpose is to make our two companies compete with each other so that De Bruyne can be sold at a high price."

Fatty Luis came from a family of managers after all, so he quickly deduced the tricks of the owner of the Genk Club behind his back.

On the phone side, Chen Ran also fell silent for a moment.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The players that Crystal Palace has introduced over the years have never been parallel imports.

Even Chen Ran's competitors have to admit that his vision for selecting players is extremely precise.

But correspondingly, this also brought a lot of trouble to Chen Ran's current signings.

As long as the signboard of the Crystal Palace is displayed, it is impossible to imagine going around like before.

Coupled with the emergence of a Manchester City club that is not short of money, if you want to continue to introduce De Bruyne, I am afraid that the only way left is to spend money.

However, De Bruyne, who is not yet 17 years old, even if he snatched it at a high price, it is impossible for Chen Ran to directly arrange him into the Crystal Palace lineup.

There is a high probability that he will be loaned to the Willem II Club for a period of time to exercise. What if this little guy still can't stand loneliness like in his previous life and wants to transfer?
After much deliberation, Chen Ran still felt that it might not be worthwhile to invest too much for De Bruyne now.

After all, in the previous life, De Bruyne was not successful when he landed in the Premier League for the first time.

After several years of training in the Bundesliga, he came to the Premier League for the second time and achieved soaring results.

Moreover, Reed Bruyne was 21 years old when he first landed in the Premier League in his previous life, but now he is less than 17 years old.

A full four years earlier, if the more immature De Bruyne is thrown directly into the Premier League, the result is likely to be worse than his previous life.

Therefore, this is a good opportunity to cheat the Manchester City club.

After careful consideration, Chen Ran decided to give Kardun Al Mubarak another gift.

"Louis, since the owner of the Genk club wants us to raise prices with Manchester City, you can meet his request."

"Ah? Chen, do you have any new ideas?"

Hearing this answer that didn't fit Chen Ran's style at all, Little Fatty Louis immediately realized that someone was going to be unlucky again.

"Hehe, isn't the Manchester City club rich? You can bid with them. Your upper limit is 3000 million euros. If the Manchester City club quotes a higher price, you don't want to follow, just give De Bruyne to them." .”

"Hey, I see."

Early the next morning, Mark Hughes, who was authorized by the club's chairman Kardun Al Mubarak, flew to the Genk club in person.

With the strong financial support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, coupled with the words of the club chairman Kardun al-Mubarak "take De Bruyne at all costs!", Mark Hughes is full of confidence.

I have to admire the owner of the Genk club for doing everything he can to extract more profits.

The old guy put people from Crystal Palace and Manchester City into the same meeting room.

He himself was sitting in the main seat. On the left was the people from the Crystal Palace Club headed by Little Fatty Louis, and on the right was the people from the Manchester City Club headed by Mark Hughes.

Seeing this posture, both Louis and Mark Hughes knew very well in their hearts that this old guy wanted the two clubs, Crystal Palace and Manchester City, to fight directly in the ring.

As for himself, he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

However, for their own purposes, no matter whether it is Little Fatty Luis or Mark Hughes, no one raised any objections to the arrangement of the owner of the Genk club.

"Hehe, both of you are here for De Bruyne of our Genk club."

"But there is only one De Bruyne. It is really difficult to decide who to give to whom."

"So, in desperation, I had no choice but to choose an auction to solve this problem."

"Who can take De Bruyne away in the end, you need to decide by yourself."

"I don't know if the two of you have any different opinions on my method?"

The old guy looked at Louis and Mark Hughes pretendingly.

"I have no opinion!"

"I do not have either."

The little fat man and Mark Hughes glanced at each other, and then turned away in unison.

"Well, since everyone has no objections, then I announce that the starting price for De Bruyne's transfer fee is 2000 million euros, and each increase should not be less than 100 million euros."

Fxxxk!

This old guy is really dark enough to set his previous asking price directly as the starting price. This is the two clubs of Crystal Palace and Manchester City.

The little fat man cursed secretly in his heart, and then rushed ahead of Mark Hughes, calling out the offer from Crystal Palace first.

"3000 million euros!"

"OMG!"

"."

Louis's voice immediately stunned everyone in the conference room.

Even the owner of the Genk Club looked at him in surprise.

"Hahaha, the Crystal Palace is the Crystal Palace. It is worthy of being the current king of Europe. The shot is magnificent. Mr. Figel, De Bruyne will not let you down."

After complimenting the little fat man, the owner of the Genk Club immediately turned his attention to Mark Hughes.

Mark Hughes didn't expect Louis's shot to be so fierce, and he added 1000 million euros as soon as he opened his mouth, which completely disrupted his original bidding plan.

It was also the first time for him to participate in this kind of auction transfer negotiation, and he was really caught off guard for a while.

It seems that the Crystal Palace is really determined to buy De Bruyne, and they want to scare themselves off with high prices as soon as they come up.Mark Hughes suddenly had such an awareness in his heart.

However, with the backing of the Abu Dhabi consortium, what Mark Hughes lacks most is money. How could he be scared off by the little fat man's 3000 million euros?

Seeing the gaze of the owner of the Genk club, Mark Hughes straightened his back and treated him in his own way.

"4000 million euros!"

At this moment, the entire conference room suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at Mark Hughes in amazement, asking a price of 17 million euros for a child under the age of 4000. Is this guy crazy?
Hearing Mark Hughes' shocking offer, the owner of the Genk club couldn't close his mouth with a smile. His grandson and granddaughter's pension money has been settled.

However, thinking that there was another Luis with an equally generous bid, the owner of the Genk Club turned to look at the little fat man expectantly.

"Haha, the Manchester City club is really rich. 4000 million euros has exceeded our budget. Regarding De Bruyne's transfer, our Crystal Palace club officially withdraws!"

As soon as the words were finished, Little Fatty Louis immediately stood up, nodded and smiled at the owner of the Genk Club, and then left the meeting room with the Crystal Palace Club team.

The entire bidding process, from start to finish, did not exceed 5 minutes.

In the conference room, Mark Hughes turned his head to look at the owner of Genk Club with a stiff face.

At this time, how could he not know that he was played by Louis?

Even Mark Hughes doubted whether Crystal Palace teamed up with Genk Club to make a game for themselves, just to cheat Manchester City Club.

The more he thought about it, the more likely Mark Hughes felt, his face became more and more ugly.

"Mr. Hughes, you shouldn't regret the offer of 4000 million euros just made by the Manchester City Club?"

The owner of Genk Club looked at Mark Hughes with a smile and asked with concern.

For a moment, Mark Hughes really wanted to say that the quotation just now was not counted, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to say this in the end.

After all, the fact that Crystal Palace and Genk teamed up to trap Manchester City is just his personal conjecture, and there is no actual evidence.

Taking a step back, even if it is true that the Crystal Palace and Genk clubs jointly set up a trap for Manchester City, if it is publicized, wouldn't it prove his incompetence even more?

In this case, will the club chairman Kardun al-Mubarak let him go?I'm afraid he will be the first to be held accountable at that time, Mark Hughes.

Forget it, as long as De Bruyne can kick it out, then the money is not in vain.

At this moment, Mark Hughes sincerely hoped that Chen Ran's vision for selecting players was really as accurate as the legend said.

Thinking of this, Mark Hughes forcibly suppressed all the messy thoughts.Standing up with a smile, he reached out to the owner of Genk Club.

"Of course not, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The applause sounded, and the entire meeting room was filled with joy again.

Like Robinho's transfer, when Mark Hughes signed a transfer agreement with Genk, Manchester City immediately announced the news to the media with great fanfare.

At a sky-high price of 4000 million euros, they introduced De Bruyne, a young player under the age of 17, from the Belgian Genk club.

All of a sudden, the Manchester City Club once again seized a large number of pages in the English media.

However, unlike the previous report on Robinho's transfer, this time it is no longer one-sided praise and praise.

Although Manchester City continued to send a lot of red envelopes, some senior reporters who still have a bottom line still insisted on expressing their different views.

"Using 4000 million euros to introduce a young player who has not experienced any adult competitions and is under the age of 17, the Manchester City club is really crazy!"

"Spending 4000 million euros to introduce a young player under the age of 17 not only demonstrates the strong financial resources of the Manchester City club, but also shows the importance they attach to the team's youth training."

"Using 4000 million euros to introduce a young player who has not been tested in any adult game, Manchester City Club is taking a big gamble!"

"According to an insider who didn't want to be named, this young player named De Bruyne was first spotted by Crystal Palace, but was forcibly snatched by Manchester City at a sky-high price halfway through."

"If it is true as the rumors say, De Bruyne was snatched by Manchester City from Crystal Palace. Then the sky-high transfer fee of 4000 million euros is understandable. After all, the Chinese man's vision for selecting players, everyone It’s still there for all to see.”

"After Crystal Palace cut Kompany from Manchester City last time, Manchester City also snatched De Bruyne from Crystal Palace. It seems that the competition between the two clubs in the transfer market is stronger than everyone imagined. fierce."

Although the players introduced by the Manchester City club are somewhat controversial, it is undeniable that 8200 million euros were spent on two players, allowing everyone to see the strong strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

All of a sudden, the threshold of the Manchester City club was almost broken by player agents, big and small.And Mark Hughes has not coached a game, he has become the hottest head coach in the Premier League.

Seeing that the English media was full of news about the Manchester City club, the chubby little Louis, who returned from Belgium empty-handed, couldn't help complaining sourly.

"Chen, you shouldn't have given De Bruyne to the Manchester City club. It's not like we don't have money. You see, Mark Hughes has stolen all the limelight."

With a finger as thick as a carrot, he poked the photo of the proud Mark Hughes in the newspaper, and the fat little Louis became more and more angry the more he looked at it.

"Hehe, Louis, hold your breath. De Bruyne is not yet 17 years old, and he is still far from maturity. Mark Hughes spent so much money on him, but he can't perform well. You say other What do people think of Mark Hughes?"

"Aren't you very optimistic about De Bruyne?"

The little fat man glanced at Chen Ran in surprise, he was a little confused.

"I am optimistic about De Bruyne in the future. He is still far from meeting the standards for landing in the Premier League."

"But Mark Hughes spent so much money to introduce De Bruyne, and it is impossible not to use it. Once it is found that De Bruyne's ability is not up to the requirements, then he will become a big failure in Mark Hughes' career .”

"Mark Hughes will obviously not let this career failure remain in front of his eyes. After he deals with De Bruyne to other clubs at a low price, it is our chance to introduce De Bruyne again. Understand?"

".Chen, you are too bad!"
