Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 377

"Mr. Chen, hello. Long time no see, you are still so handsome."

As soon as he entered the door, Raiola greeted Chen Ran with a big smile on his face.

Looking at Raiola's familiar fat face, Chen Ran also shook his head helplessly.

Although he knew that this guy came to him at this time, it might not be good, but Chen Ran agreed to see Raiola instead of hitting the smiling face.

"Okay, Mino, we are old friends, so you don't have to go around in circles. Tell me, why did you come here today?"

"Hey, Mr. Chen is still so straightforward. I came here today to help someone with a message."

"Oh? Just helping people spread the word? Mino, this is not like your style."

Chen Ran curled his lips in disbelief, this guy who has nothing to gain, will he come to the Crystal Palace himself for something that is not beneficial?
"Ahem, Mr. Chen, it seems that you have misunderstood me a bit. This time I really just passed on a message to Coach Mancini. He hopes you can sell him some players. The price is negotiable."

"Mancini? Mino, your way is very wild. Mancini just took office as the head coach of the Manchester City club, and you hooked up with him?"

Hearing Mancini's name, Chen Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Raiola meaningfully.

"Hey, I had some cooperation with Inter Milan before. Mancini was the head coach of Inter Milan at that time. After going back and forth, we got to know each other like this. This time he asked me for help, and I can't refuse. I just have to be generous. Shameless came to find you, Mr. Chen."

"Did Mancini promise you a favor?"

"Hey, you can't hide anything from Mr. Chen. I'm already a senior transfer consultant for Manchester City Club. In addition, if you reach a deal, I will also get a considerable amount of consulting fees."

Raiola looked at Chen Ran with a smile on his face, and he knew everything and said everything.

It's not how honest he is, but because his previous contact experience with Chen Ran told him that this is a vixen who is more cunning than the old fox.

Trying to play tricks in front of Chen Ran will only backfire.

"Oh? Mino, it seems that you are eyeing the fat of the Abu Dhabi consortium?"

"Mr. Erchen, please, don't expose my old background."

Seeing that Chen Ran always hit the nail on the head, Raiola smiled awkwardly and had to beg for mercy quickly.

Damn, he felt as if he had no clothes on in front of Chen Ran.

"Did Mancini find out that he had a lot of money in his hands but couldn't buy the players he wanted?"

"That's right. Mancini sensed that something was wrong, so he came to seek help from you, Mr. Chen. Everyone knows that many of the world's top stars are playing for your Crystal Palace club."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Mancini didn't think of it, but you reminded me?"

Chen Ran ignored Raiola's flattery at all, and picked up the coffee and drank it on his own.

Mancini, the head coach who has just landed in the Premier League from Italy, how can he know how deep the water in English football is?Someone must have given him an idea.

"Hey, Mr. Chen is really good at predicting things. After all, I am now a senior transfer consultant of Manchester City Club. After taking their money, I naturally have to contribute."

"Then Mancini may be disappointed. I'm not short of money, and I don't have the habit of selling players for money. So, Mino, you should help Mancini contact other clubs."

"Don't rush to refuse, Mr. Chen. Mancini has already contacted Manchester City from other clubs, and no one is willing to sell."

"Besides, the Crystal Palace club always has players who are getting older, have more injuries, and their status has declined."

"You might as well take advantage of this opportunity to slaughter the Manchester City club, and use the money to introduce new players, just to complete the team's metabolism."

Seeing Chen Ran's resolute refusal, Raiola immediately became a little anxious.

Of course, he is neither anxious for the Manchester City club nor Mancini, but anxious for his own income.

This is his first shot after serving as a senior transfer consultant for the Manchester City club. If he can't show his ability, how will he make money from the pocket of the Abu Dhabi consortium in the future?
Fortunately, it is not for nothing that Raiola can become the top football agent. He listed several reasons in an instant to convince Chen Ran.

The appearance of thinking about the Crystal Palace wholeheartedly, as if he is not the senior transfer consultant of the Manchester City club, but the senior transfer consultant of the Crystal Palace club.

Chen Ran watched Raiola's performance quietly while drinking coffee.

But I was thinking in my heart whether to kill the Manchester City club as Raiola said.

After all, it was because of the involvement of the Manchester City club that the Crystal Palace's plan to introduce De Bruyne became twists and turns.Not to mention the addition of many variables, and an extra cost of more than 1000 million euros.

It shouldn't be too much to find Manchester City, the culprit, to pay for these losses, right?
What's more, with the current strength of Manchester City's players and Mancini's coaching ability, even if they don't get supplementary personnel during the winter transfer period, they will not really be relegated.

Instead of letting those clubs make a fortune when the time comes, it's better to take a bite first by yourself.

After sorting out the Crystal Palace players one by one in his mind, Chen Ran chose Vieira.

Since last season, Vieira has suffered major injuries for two consecutive seasons, and his attendance rate is less than [-]%.

Moreover, Crystal Palace and Manchester City have played all the two Premier League games this season, and they will meet again next season.

Considering that Vieira is about to turn 33 years old and the chance of returning to his peak state after a serious injury is not high, Chen Ran feels that it is the most suitable candidate for him to go to the Manchester City Club to help the poor.

After making up his mind, Chen Ran reached out and stopped Raiola who was still chattering.

"Mino, for your sake, it's not impossible for me to sell players to Manchester City."

"It's just that I'm only selling one player, and the asking price is very high, and bargaining is not allowed. I wonder if the Manchester City club can accept it?"

Seeing that Chen Ran finally let go, Raiola immediately lifted his spirits.

As long as Crystal Palace is willing to sell people, it will be fine. For Raiola, money is not a problem, and he is not paying for it anyway.

"Mr. Chen, money is not a problem. I wonder which player you are willing to sell to Manchester City?"

"Patrick Vieira, an active French international, one of the few top midfielders in world football. How is it? Mino, am I very sincere?"

"Vieira? Mr. Chen, are you kidding me? Isn't he recovering from his injuries? Manchester City Club needs immediate combat power to fight the fire now."

Raiola looked at Chen Ran with a wry smile.

Originally, he thought that he was good at lobbying, and he was able to persuade Chen Ran to change his mind.

Now it seems that I think too much.

"Hehe, Mino, I have good news for you. Vieira is about to return from injury. Anyway, he needs to undergo a medical examination before transferring. If his injury is not healed, Manchester City can return the goods."

"Mr. Chen, is Vieira's injury really healed?"

"Yes."

This time, Raiola was really moved.

After all, Vieira is indeed one of the top midfielders in the world now.

As for being a bit older and having a lot of injuries, these are not issues that Raiola needs to consider.

Now the Manchester City club can't buy this kind of top players at all elsewhere, so they are not qualified to pick and choose.

As long as he can get Vieira to Manchester City, it will be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Raiola has already begun to look forward to a good day when he will be fully authorized to represent the transfer affairs of Manchester City Club in the future and earn a lot of money.

As for whether Vieira has really recovered from his injury, Raiola is not worried.

Chen Ran was right, anyway, a medical examination was required before the transfer, so there was no need for the other party to lie about this issue.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder how much you offer Vieira?"

"Not much, only 4000 million euros. I believe this is just a small figure for the Abu Dhabi consortium." Chen Ran said a figure lightly.

"cough cough"

Raiola, who was drinking coffee, almost choked to death.

"Mr. Chen, I remember when you bought Vieira from Arsenal for only 2000 million euros?"

"If I remember correctly, Vieira will be 33 years old this year. Is it unreasonable that the price has doubled when he is so much older?"

Raiola looked at Chen Ran with resentment.

If the deal was really made at this price, wouldn't everyone know that the Manchester City club had been brutally slaughtered?

It's not easy for him to go back.

"Mino, does Manchester City have any other options now?"

Chen Ran pointed Raiola with his finger amusedly.

"It's not your money, why are you in a hurry. Why? You don't really consider yourself a member of the Manchester City club now, do you?"

"I see. Mr. Chen, I will pass on your offer to the Manchester City club. However, I can't guarantee whether they will accept it. After all, your price is indeed a bit high."

Raiola shook his head with a wry smile.

Ever since he met Chen Ran, he has always only taken advantage of Chen Ran, but he has never taken advantage of Chen Ran.

"Hehe, it's okay, I believe Manchester City will make the right choice, and we will meet again soon."

Seeing Chen Ran's smiling face with a confident look, Raiola had a wry smile besides a wry one.

This guy seems to be determined by the Manchester City club.

After dismissing Raiola, Chen Ran focused on the team's preparations.

For this transfer, he didn't take it too seriously.

If the Manchester City club is willing to accept the offer, Crystal Palace will make a fortune and can make up for the extra expenditure on De Bruyne's side.

If the Manchester City club refuses, then Chen Ran doesn't care.

After all, Vieira's strength is still there. Even if he can't return to his previous peak state after returning from injury, it is more than enough to be a rotation player in Crystal Palace.

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

In the FA Cup match three days ago, Chen Ranxue hid all the main players.

Today, he put all these key players into the starting lineup against Everton.

Although under the leadership of Moyes, Everton now has the title of strong team killer.

But under the pressure of Crystal Palace's full main lineup, they still failed to resist the stormy offensive of Crystal Palace.

In the end, with the goals of Tony, Thiago Silva and Messi, Crystal Palace beat Everton 3:1 in the away game.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Free Kick Master Card" from the system.

In other games of this round of the Premier League, there is another strong dialogue that is very interesting.

Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford. It is said that Ferguson was so angry that he once again showed his hair dryer skills in the dressing room.

Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0 in the away game and continued to follow closely behind Crystal Palace.

Arsenal beat Bolton 1-0 at Highbury.

After the coaching change, Manchester City did not have immediate results. They lost 0:2 to Portsmouth in the away game and remained in the relegation zone.

When Chen Ran saw the report of Manchester City's 0:2 loss to Portsmouth, he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that the 4000 million euros cannot escape.

While Chen Ran was gloating, Mancini, who had just returned to Manchester after leading Manchester City's away game, was called to the office by the club's chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak.

As soon as he entered the door, Mancini saw that besides the chairman of the club, Kardun Al Mubarak, there was also a familiar big fat man Mino Raiola sitting in the office.

"Mr. Chairman, what can you do for me?"

Although he had just lost the game, Mancini was not as afraid of meeting Kardun al-Mubarak as his predecessor Mark Hughes was.

After all, he has only been in office for a few days, and the boss's patience with him has not lost.

"Robert, Mino brought back some good news from Crystal Palace, let him introduce the details to you."

Seeing Mancini turn his gaze to himself, Raiola took the words with a smile.

"Robert, according to Mr. Chairman's instructions, I went to the Crystal Palace Club to meet Chen Ran and successfully persuaded him to agree to sell a player to us."

"Oh? Really? This is really great. Who is that Huaguo going to sell us?"

Hearing the news, Mancini's eyes lit up immediately.

He is now waiting to quickly add reinforcements to put out the fire, which can be regarded as a timely rain for him.

After all, the strength of the players in Crystal Palace's current team is recognized as strong.

This is also an important reason why when Mino Raiola proposed to find Chen Ran, both Kardun Al Mubarak and Mancini readily agreed.

"Vieira. How is it? Very good, this is one of the few top midfielders in today's football."

"Viela?"

Hearing this name, Mancini, who was still very excited, couldn't help but frowned.
