Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 378

"Mino, if I remember correctly, Vieira seems to be injured?"

"Hey, that's all outdated news. Chen Ran said that Vieira is about to return from injury. If there is a problem found during the physical examination, we can return the product."

"Really? That's good. By the way, what price did that Huaguo give Vieira?"

Hearing Raiola's assurance, Mancini first breathed a sigh of relief.Then he remembered the most important question and hurriedly asked.

"4000 euros."

"4000 million euros? So expensive? Mino, if I remember correctly, Vieira is not young now, is he?"

"Ahem, he's only 32 years old now, not too old." Raiola blinked his small eyes, his face not red and his heart beating.

"It's okay to be 32 years old, but 4000 million euros is still a bit too expensive. Mino, you'd better think of a way to get that Chinese man to lower the price."

"Robert, do you think I didn't make a counter-offer? That guy Chen Ran insisted that it was 4000 million euros. If he wanted to buy it, he could buy it. If he didn't want it, let it go. He didn't accept bargaining."

Raiola looked at Mancini with a wry smile and defended himself.

At this time, Kardun Al Mubarak, who had been sitting quietly listening to the discussion between Raiola and Mancini, suddenly spoke.

"Robert, can this Vieira really help the team improve their performance?"

"Mr. Chairman, just like what Mino said, this Vieira is indeed one of the few top midfielders in world football. If he can join our Manchester City, it can indeed immediately improve the strength of the team's midfield."

"That's good. As long as it can help the team, money is not a problem, it is more expensive. After all, the team is now in the relegation zone, and there is nothing more important than keeping the qualification for the Premier League."

Kardun Al Mubarak's current situation is not very good. Although he is the chairman of the Manchester City Club on the surface, he is actually a senior wage earner.

Mansur, the real big boss, has already called to express his dissatisfaction with the current situation of Manchester City Club falling into the relegation zone. This is also an important reason why Mark Hughes was kicked out.

Kardun Al Mubarak knew very well that if Manchester City were finally relegated this season.Then his fate will be the same as that of Mark Hughes, or even worse.

Therefore, as long as the team can not be relegated, let alone 4000 million euros, he will agree to a little more.

"Understood, Mr. Chairman."

The boss has spoken, and Mancini naturally no longer bothers about the price.

"Mino, can you buy other players from Crystal Palace?"

Mancini, who didn't have much hope for Raiola's meeting with Chen Ran, saw that this big fat man actually negotiated a transfer, so he couldn't help placing even greater hopes in him.

"Robert, I asked Chen Ran. He made it very clear that he would only sell one player."

"Haha, Mino, there are not many clubs that are willing to pay high prices to buy players. With Vieira's success story in front, I believe that with the help of this top agent, you will definitely gain something."

Mancini was in a good mood after receiving strong support, and he flattered Raiola without hesitation.

"Robert, I can only say try my best, but there is no way to guarantee results. Based on my understanding of Chen Ran, he is not a person who talks about it. So, we will finally focus on other clubs."

For Mancini's flattery, Raiola's mind is very clear.Chen Ran is the toughest opponent he has ever met, and he dare not agree to things he is not sure about.

"But other clubs don't sell people at all. Even if we have money, there is nothing we can do."

"The Premier League clubs don't sell it, so we can go to other leagues to try."

Raiola blinked his small eyes, and began to make plans again.

"Oh, Mino, do you have any new ideas?"

Mancini's eyes lit up. Although this big fat man is insatiable, he is indeed very capable.

At this time, Kardun Al Mubarak spoke again.

"Mino, if you have any ideas, just let me know. As long as there are results, Manchester City Club will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman!"

First of all, I thanked Kardun Al Mubarak, and Raiola immediately threw out his new idea.

"I think we can focus on the Real Madrid club next."

"Real Madrid? Mino, why do you have this idea? This kind of membership-based veteran club is not short of money, and they rarely sell players for money."

Mancini frowned slightly, he didn't understand what Raiola was thinking.

"Haha, Robert, this has nothing to do with Real Madrid, it has to do with their coach Mourinho."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Mancini asked curiously.

He, an Italian who just took over the Manchester City club, obviously doesn't have a deep understanding of the Premier League.

"When Mourinho was coaching Chelsea, he was overwhelmed by Chen Ran's Crystal Palace. He even had to leave for Spain in order to avoid Chen Ran."

"With the strong financial resources of our Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City will definitely become the most powerful contender for the Premier League title in the future."

"I believe Mourinho will be very interested in things that can cause trouble for Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace Club."

Having said that, Raiola stopped and looked at Kardun Al Mubarak and Simeone with a smile.

Karduun Al Mubarak and Simeone looked at each other, and they couldn't help admiring that this big fat man who only had money in his eyes was indeed worthy of being a top agent.

"Very good! Mino, I will leave it to you to deal with Vieira's transfer-related procedures with Crystal Palace and contact Mourinho."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your trust, I will definitely not let you down!"

Hearing that Kardun Al Mubarak had left these two transfer matters to himself, Raiola quickly stood up to show his loyalty.

If these two things are done, then it must not be far away from his goal of fully handling the transfer affairs of the Manchester City club.

Raiola secretly yearned in his heart, this is a big business with unlimited "money".

Just as Raiola was flying to Madrid full of energy, on January 1, Crystal Palace ushered in the third round of the FA Cup play-offs.

Because the two teams were tied before, Chen Ran had to take Crystal Palace to Newcastle United's away game this time.

This time, Chen Ran still sent a starting lineup consisting mainly of substitute players.

Moreover, he still handed over the command of the game to Southgate.

After 10 and 2 minutes of fierce fighting, with the goals of Dzeko and Cavani, Crystal Palace beat Newcastle United 1:[-] in the away game.

While successfully advancing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, Chen Ran also received a winning bonus of 100 million euros from the system.

Spain, Madrid, Mourinho's home.

Mendes accompanied Mourinho to receive Raiola who came to visit.

Frankly speaking, when it comes to agents at the level of Mendes and Raiola, it's already a bit like the king doesn't see the king.

The brokerage companies of the two have many players, and each club has a limited transfer budget.

So almost in every transfer period, players from both sides will compete for a transfer spot.

If it weren't for Mourinho's request today, Mendes actually didn't want to see this greedy fat man.

"Mr. Raiola, I don't know what you want from me?"

After some pleasantries, Mourinho asked curiously.

"Haha, Mr. Mourinho, my friends call me Mino, so you can call me that too. Also, can I call you Jose?"

Raiola's chubby face is full of a simple smile, very friendly.

"Of course you can."

"José, in fact, I only have one thing to do today, which is to ask for Manchester City, do you want to deal with any players that Real Madrid can't use? Don't worry, money is not a problem, and you will definitely be satisfied."

What this guy Raiola is best at is hitting snakes with sticks, and he has narrowed the relationship with Mourinho in a few words.

Mourinho was slightly taken aback.

Manchester City?
It has been two years since he left the Premier League. Apart from things related to Chen Ran and Crystal Palace, he doesn't care too much about the news there.

Regarding Manchester City, he only knows that the club changed owners last summer, that's all.

However, why did Raiola, a big agent, get involved with the Manchester City club?
Thinking of this, Mourinho glanced at Mendes suspiciously.

As a good friend for many years, Mendes saw that Mourinho had doubts in his heart, and immediately took the topic over.

"Mr. Raiola, as far as I know, the Manchester City club has now fallen into the relegation zone of the Premier League, and it is difficult to protect itself. Now selling players to Manchester City, isn't that pushing people into the fire pit?"

The colleagues are enemies, and Mendes, who has often fought openly and secretly with Raiola, didn't bother to go around with this big fat man, and directly spread Manchester City's plight on the table.

"Mr. Mendes, the current difficulties of the Manchester City club are only temporary. With the strong financial resources of the Abu Dhabi consortium as their backing, it is impossible for them to be relegated."

Faced with Mendes, the biggest competitor in the football agency circle, Raiola didn't bother to get close.

"Hehe, if money alone is all you need, then everyone should stop playing the game and just compare the bank deposits to determine winning or losing."

Mendes snorted coldly and glanced at Raiola with disdain.

Mourinho couldn't help but feel very funny watching the two bigwigs in the agent world arguing with each other in front of him.

Worried that the two would really quarrel, Mourinho hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

"Mr. Raiola, I'm very sorry. Your question just now was a bit sudden. I can't answer it now. Look, how about I give you an answer after I think about it carefully?"

"Haha, it's true that I was too anxious. Jose, I'm in Madrid these few days, you can notify me anytime you think about it."

Knowing in his heart that it is impossible to get a result at the first meeting, Raiola did not stalk, and left Mourinho very quickly.

As soon as Raiola left, Mourinho immediately asked Mendes curiously about the situation of the Manchester City club.

"José, in short, the current Manchester City club is a replica of Chelsea, with a new rich owner."

"It's just that they didn't find a head coach with outstanding abilities like you, but an incompetent guy named Mark Hughes, so they fell to the point where they needed to relegation."

"They just poached Mancini from Inter Milan as the new head coach, and they are probably recruiting everywhere now."

"What I didn't expect was that they dared to find Raiola, a fat man who only has money in his eyes, to take charge of the transfer affairs. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Mendes introduced the situation of the Manchester City club to Mourinho, but between the words, there was inevitably a burst of sour water.

Now there is a consensus in the broker circle that these money owners who have just entered the football circle and don't understand anything, their money is the easiest to earn.

Mendes made a lot of money from Chelsea before, but now Manchester City has been snatched by Raiola.

Seeing that the fat sheep fell into the hands of his competitors, it was only a ghost that Mendes felt better.

"It turned out to be like this. That would be a good time to sell some players to Manchester City, just to take the opportunity to clean up unused players, and then use the transfer fee to strengthen the team's lineup."

Mourinho thought about it carefully and felt that this business could be done.

Seeing that Mourinho was a little moved, Mendes' heart suddenly sank. Isn't this so cute giving money to that fat man?
However, Mendes did not directly object, he just reminded him in good faith.

"José, given the situation where Manchester City is about to be relegated, which Real Madrid player is willing to transfer there?"

"Haha, Jorge, don't worry, I will make it clear to those players that they are not on my list and allow them to find their next home."

"Then at this time, Mino Raiola will show up at the right time and lure him with a high salary. I believe no one can resist this temptation."

"That's one way."

Mendez nodded in agreement, but was unhappy in his heart.

Mourinho also seemed to sense that Mendes' mood was wrong, and walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"Jorge, Crystal Palace is now at the top of the Premier League standings. If nothing else, they are likely to defend the Premier League title this season."

"Didn't you say that the current Manchester City is a replica of Chelsea? It would be too wasteful for such a rich club to play in the English Championship. It would be good to let them stay in the Premier League and create some trouble for that guy Chen Ran."

"Don't worry, I will give priority to selecting players under your banner for the transfer fee you get from selling players. How about it?"

Mourinho has talked about this, what else can Mendes say besides accepting it?
However, when he returned to his residence, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
