Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 374 Send him on the road
"That's good. According to Mr. Figel's request, we want Kevin to leave the Manchester City club during this winter transfer period, even on loan."

"In the loan contract, it is best to include a buyout clause. Then after a period of time, Crystal Palace will contact the club that rented Kevin to activate the buyout clause."

"In the end, Crystal Palace bought Kevin back from that club."

On the one hand, DeCoster fully relayed the plan that Louis had just told him to De Bruyne and his son.

While sighing in my heart, these big brokers just make different moves.To be able to mobilize another club to be a bridge, this kind of energy is really not something that small agents like them can possess.

"Mr. Edkoster, why didn't Crystal Palace buy me directly from Manchester City? Isn't it more convenient and direct?"

De Bruyne, who was still very immature, scratched his head and looked at DeCoster with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, Kevin, if Crystal Palace directly asks Manchester City to buy you, there will only be two results. Either the Manchester City Lions offer a sky-high price, or they simply refuse. They will never sell you to themselves competitors."

"Well, Crystal Palace is now at the top of the Premier League standings, but Manchester City has fallen into the relegation zone. Can this be considered a competitor?"

Facing De Coster's explanation, De Bruyne was even more confused.

This time, without De Coster speaking, Herwig took the initiative to explain for him.

"Kevin, it doesn't matter what we think. At least the owner of the Manchester City club thinks that Crystal Palace is their biggest competitor, understand?"

"It's just ridiculous."

De Bruyne muttered in a low voice.

Herwig and De Coster looked at each other, and each showed helpless wry smiles.

The adult world is so ridiculous sometimes.

"Herwig, if you and Kevin have no disagreement, then I will act according to Mr. Figel's plan?"

Herwig turned his head and glanced at his son, seeing De Bruyne nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he suddenly had a decision in his heart.

"Mr. DeCoster, Kevin's matter is troublesome."

"Don't worry, wrap it on me."

Early the next morning, Little Fatty Louis received a call from DeCoster.After getting an affirmative answer, he immediately ran to Chen Ran's office.

"Chen, De Bruyne has agreed to cooperate in accordance with our plan."

"Oh? This is good news. Louis, which club do you think is more appropriate to contact De Bruyne. There is a premise that this club must be willing to cooperate with our next plan."

Chen Ran was not surprised to hear the news about the little fat man.At De Bruyne's age, if he hasn't played a game, he will be useless.

"Actually, the most suitable ones are the clubs under our Galaxy Football Group. But now we are very popular. With the power of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it is easy to find out the relationship between these clubs and Crystal Palace. Therefore, this time these clubs cannot be used. gone."

Fatty Louis said slowly while rubbing his fleshy chin.

"Then contact a club that has a good relationship with your family. This club can't be too weak, otherwise it will have no training value for De Bruyne."

Speaking of this, Chen Ran suddenly remembered that De Bruyne grew up when he was on loan in the Bundesliga in his previous life, so he immediately added a sentence.

"It's better to find a team in the Bundesliga, where the style of play is more suitable for De Bruyne."

"A team from the Bundesliga?"

Fatty Louis pondered for a moment, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Chen, what do you think of the Hamburg club? We bought Kompany from Hamburg before, and I have a good relationship with their club's senior management."

"And Hamburg also sold their Dutch midfielder De Jong to Manchester City. I believe the relationship between them should be good. As long as we give enough benefits, using Hamburg as a bridge should be the most suitable choice."

"Hamburger? This is indeed a good choice. Louis, then you should contact the Hamburger Club and see if they are interested in cooperating."

"Okay. But, Chen, what conditions are you going to offer to Hamburg? It's too low, I'm afraid there's no way to impress them."

"What conditions?"

Hearing Louis' question, Chen Ran fell into deep thought.In the entire office, the only sound left was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the desk.

"Luiz, you tell the Hamburg club that if they agree to help, the cost of loaning De Bruyne will be borne by us at Crystal Palace."

"If they can sign a buyout clause with Manchester City, as long as the agreed transfer fee is below 2000 million euros. Crystal Palace will pay the Hamburg club 500 million euros as a benefit fee while paying the transfer fee in the future. "

"And, after we bought De Bruyne from Hamburg, we will continue to loan De Bruyne to Hamburg for another season and let them use it for free."

Fatty Louis was worried that Chen Ran's offer was too low, and Hamburg might not agree to it.

But after he listened to Chen Ran's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Chen, are you so optimistic about this De Bruyne? If you follow your conditions, Crystal Palace will pay close to 3000 million euros for this Belgian kid. Is it worth it?"

You think I would.

Chen Ran pouted secretly in his heart.

What is the most expensive in the 21st century?
Talent!

Damn Manchester City, if they hadn't come out to disrupt the situation, would I have spent so much money?

After calming down, Chen Ran walked over and patted the little fatty Louis on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, when did I make a loss-making business? De Bruyne's future worth will definitely exceed 3000 million euros."

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

After assigning tasks to Fatty Louis, Chen Ran returned to the Crystal Palace.

Next, they have to face the Premier League's famous Christmas Devil fixtures.

On December 12th, in the No.26 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Manchester to challenge Manchester City this time;

On December 12th, in the No.30 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will host Aston Villa at home;

On January 1, the third round of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace will face the challenge of Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium this time;

On January 1th, in the No.7 round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Everton.

Since Crystal Palace is now 2 points ahead of No. 7 Liverpool, Chen Ran is not under great pressure to face the Christmas Devil's schedule this time.

However, facing Manchester City, which has fallen into the relegation zone and ranked No. 18 in the Premier League, Chen Ran intends to attack with all his strength and give Mark Hughes a good ride.

For no other reason than to spend more than 1000 million euros on De Bruyne, Chen Ran also asked Mark Hughes to collect some interest back.

And at the Manchester City club, Mark Hughes, who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, was also looking at the schedule in his hand with a tingly scalp.

After losing two games in a row, and now facing the league leaders Crystal Palace, Mark Hughes has almost seen the result of Manchester City's three-game losing streak.

In addition, the news that club chairman Kardun Al Mubarak is contacting Inter Milan coach Mancini has spread all over the sky, and it has become an open secret.

Mark Hughes began to lose confidence in whether he could survive this winter transfer period safely.

"Boss, the Hamburg Club sent a loan application, do you agree or reject it?"

Manchester City's assistant coach Mark Bowen held a fax in his hand and hurriedly found Mark Hughes.

Although there are rumors that the owner, Kardun Al Mubarak, is going to replace Mark Hughes, at least he is still the head coach of the Manchester City club and has the right to decide on the players.

"Hamburg? Who do they want on loan?"

Since the two clubs had previously cooperated with Dutch midfielder De Jong, Mark Hughes was not too surprised that Hamburg suddenly came to his door.

"Ed Bruyne."

While answering the question, Mark Bowen secretly looked at Mark Hughes' expression.

"It turned out to be him?"

Hearing this name that no one dared to mention in front of him for a long time, Mark Hughes was also taken aback.

"Boss, how do we reply to the Burger Club?"

Seeing that Mark Hughes didn't respond for a long time, Mark Bowen couldn't help but urge him.

"It's also good to go out on loan. Maybe this little guy can grow up quickly after being trained in the Bundesliga."

With a self-deprecating smile, Mark Hughes let go.

Although he stumbled on the matter of De Bruyne, it would be a bit too much if he kept the opponent and did not give him a chance to play.

"Stay on the front line in everything, so we can meet again in the future." Mark Hughes, an old world, still knows the truth.

Now that he himself can't protect himself, there is no need to offend others.

After all, if this kind of thing gets out, which player will be willing to work for him in the future?
"Boss, in addition to wanting to rent De Bruyne, Hamburg also proposed a buyout clause."

"The buyout clause? The Hamburg club is so optimistic about De Bruyne?"

At this moment, Mark Huston became serious, and then asked a question.

"How much money is Hamburg willing to pay for De Bruyne?"

"The amount is 1000 million euros."

After hesitating for a moment, Mark Bowen still carefully stated the offer from Hamburg.

"Hehe, what a hamburger club, they are here to take advantage of the fire, right?"

Mark Hughes was laughed out of anger.

He spent 4000 million euros to buy De Bruyne to Manchester City, but Hamburg wanted to take De Bruyne away for 1000 million euros.

Didn't this idiot tell everyone clearly that he, Mark Hughes, had done a huge loss-making business, and he was a complete idiot?
"Boss, how about I just reject the Burger Club?"

Hearing his assistant's proposal, Mark Hughes calmed down instead.

De Bruyne's stay at the Manchester City club is always a hidden danger. As long as the boss sees him, he will think of the fact that he has caused the club to lose a lot of money.

If De Bruyne doesn't leave Manchester City for a day, this matter will never end.

How about taking advantage of Hamburg's offer to rent De Bruyne and get rid of this kid?
After careful weighing for a long time, Mark Hughes felt that this was a good opportunity to stop losses.

However, 1000 million euros is too low, and there is no way to explain it, and Hamburg must bleed more.

After making up his mind, Mark Hughes put his arm around his assistant's shoulder, and whispered in his ear.

"You go and tell the Hamburg club that a loan is fine, and a buyout clause is also fine. But the transfer fee cannot be lower than 2000 million euros, otherwise there will be no negotiation. Do you understand?"

"clear."

As the confidant that Mark Hughes brought to the Manchester City club, Mark Bowen immediately understood the meaning of his boss, and it was time to deal with De Bruyne.

Mark Bowen quickly passed on Mark Hughes' meaning to the Hamburger Club, and the Hamburger Club immediately sent the news to Little Fatty Louis.

Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

"Chen, there's news from Hamburg. It's exactly as you guessed. Manchester City agreed to the buyout clause and offered 2000 million euros."

The little fat man rushed in excitedly, and praised Chen Ran's precise judgment while talking.

Chen Ran pouted secretly, what is there to be happy about paying so much extra money?
"Louis, you tell the Hamburg club to agree to Manchester City's conditions. But all contracts must be signed before December 12."

"Eh Chen, England's winter transfer period only starts on January 1st. Is there any need to be in such a hurry?" The fat man looked at Chen Ran wonderingly.

"Hehe, our match against Manchester City will take place on December 12. I'm afraid that after the match, Mark Hughes will no longer be the head coach of Manchester City. Do you understand?"

"Erchen, are you planning to kill Mark Hughes?"

Seeing Chen Ran's sneer, Little Fatty Louis shuddered.

"This guy cost me more than 1000 million euros, don't you think he should pay a little?"

"Eh, it should be, it should be!"

On December 12, the weather will be sunny and sunny, suitable for moving or changing jobs.

Although the Manchester City club fell into the relegation zone, because they will face the Premier League overlord Crystal Palace in this game, there are still a large number of Manchester City fans at their home stadium, Manchester City Stadium.

"Chen, just yesterday, Hamburg signed all the contracts with Manchester City on De Bruyne's loan and buyout clauses."

After personally inspecting the contract signed by Hamburg, Little Fatty Louis came to report the result to Chen Ran in person.

"Is there any problem with the contract?"

"I checked with my lawyer several times overnight."

"That's good, then I can safely send Mark Hughes on the road."
