Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 380 Generous

There was no suspense in the rest of the game. With goals from Toni, Kaka and Ribery, Crystal Palace defeated Arsenal 3-1 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

As soon as the game was over, Chen Ran rushed to the hospital where Ribery was.

"How is Frank doing?"

Seeing the team doctor who came out to greet him, Chen Ran couldn't wait to ask.

"Boss, Frank is just a soft tissue contusion. Fortunately, there is no major problem. However, due to the sensitive position, the recovery time may be a little longer."

"That's good."

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered something, and then asked a question.

"Ahem, this injury won't affect Frank's future 'happiness', will it?"

The team doctor was taken aback for a moment before realizing what Chen Ran meant.

"Theoretically, there should be no effect. However, each person's specific situation is different. If you want to know, you can only ask Frank himself."

"It's fine if it doesn't affect it, it's fine if it doesn't affect it."

Ribery's injury caused Crystal Palace to lose another frontcourt general.

Fortunately, Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidic, who were injured before, returned from injury one after another, so Chen Ran's formation was not greatly affected.

"Chen, that guy Raiola really hooked up with Mourinho."

The day after the match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal, chubby Louis rushed to Chen Ran's office excitedly early in the morning.

After receiving the tip-off from Mendez, Chen Ran assigned Fatty Luis the task of keeping an eye on Raiola.

The Real Madrid club was like a big sieve with air leaking everywhere, coupled with the extensive connections of the Figel family, if there was any disturbance in Real Madrid, little fat Luis would be able to receive the news immediately.

"Tell me, what players did Raiola help Manchester City buy from Real Madrid?"

"Ahem, Chen, according to the information I got, Mourinho put Saviola, Van Nistelrooy, van der Vaart, Mahamado Diarra, Cannavaro, Metzer De, Drenthe, Gago and other players have all been put into the transferable list for Manchester City to choose."

Hearing the long list of players' names reported by Little Fatty Louis, Chen Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What is Mourinho doing? Clearance?"

"Er Chen, I'm afraid it's really as you judged."

Fatty Louis shrugged his shoulders with a look of envy.

"Mourinho probably wants to take advantage of the Manchester City club's rush to sign up, sell all the players he doesn't like at high prices to the opponent, and then use the earned transfer fees to buy the players he wants."

"It's no wonder that Mendes is anxious. It seems that Raiola is going to make a lot of money this time."

While speaking, Chen Ran checked the list again.

Good guy, it's almost all downhill players.

While lamenting that Mourinho is really dark-hearted, Chen Ran is also completely relieved.

Regardless of how well-known these players are now, even if the Manchester City club buys them all, it will be difficult to pose any substantial threat to the Crystal Palace, but it will consume a lot of money from the Abu Dhabi consortium.

"Chen, should we intervene?"

The players on this list are all well-known stars. If so many people join the Manchester City Club together, little fat Louis is still a little worried.

"No, just wait and see. If the Manchester City club really introduces these declining players, it will be difficult for them to do anything for at least two or three years."

"Okay, I understand. One more thing, the Manchester City Club hopes that Vieira's transfer fee of 4000 million euros can be paid to us in three years."

"Payment in installments? No, you tell Manchester City that I only accept one-time payment, otherwise this transfer transaction will be terminated."

Chen Ran frowned and refused directly.

"Er Chen, can you be so tough? After all, many transfers are now paid in installments, and we used to use it before."

Fatty Louis scratched his head, a little puzzled by Chen Ran's attitude.

"Hey, Louis, how many times have I told you? You can't just think about a problem from one angle, you have to be comprehensive, understand?"

"Chen, what do you mean?"

This time, Fatty Louis became even more confused. He felt that what he just said was okay.

Seeing that Louis still looked puzzled, Chen Ran sighed and could only patiently explain to him.

"The reason why I asked the Manchester City club for a one-time payment, and even agreed to sell Vieira, was not just considering this matter from a football point of view."

"You are also aware of the global financial tsunami that started last year. Although the stock markets of various countries have fallen in a mess, this situation will pass sooner or later, and I don't think it will be too far away."

"So, what we have to do now is to prepare cash and wait until the bottom signs appear, and enter the market to pick up bargains."

"You know, after such a long period of slump, the stock prices of many high-quality companies have fallen to the floor. If you can buy these stocks at the bottom, your future earnings will not be as simple as doubling and doubling. Understand?"

What Chen Ran said immediately made little fat Louis dumbfounded.

Is this the gap between pattern and vision?
Unexpectedly, when he was still staring at football, Chen Ran had already turned his attention to the financial market.

No wonder Chen Ran can be the boss, no wonder Chen Ran can make a lot of money.

At this moment, Fatty Louis only had admiration in his eyes!

At this time, in Madrid, Spain, Raiola was really happy and had a headache.

What made him happy was that Mourinho directly agreed to sell players to the Manchester City club, and listed a very sincere list of players for Manchester City to choose from.

But before Raiola was happy, Mendes listed the corresponding transfer price for each player on behalf of Mourinho.

Even the most humble Dutch left-back Drenthe was offered a price of 2000 million euros.

You must know that when Real Madrid introduced Drenthe, it only cost 1400 million euros, and this guy didn't have many opportunities to play in Real Madrid, and he was firmly pressed on the bench by Marcelo.

And during the summer transfer period last year, Real Madrid also introduced Portuguese left-back Coentrao.

Coentrao is a player under Mendes, coupled with Marcelo who currently occupies the main left-back position of Real Madrid, Drenthe is obviously a player who will be swept out.

It is such a marginal player, whose value has not decreased but increased, and was priced at 2000 million euros by Real Madrid.

If the Manchester City club introduces all the players on this list, it will need to pay a transfer fee of close to [-] million euros.

As a top agent, Raiola, how can he not see that the other party is slaughtering the Manchester City club as a fat sheep?
As for the players on this list, their competitive status is generally on the decline, and he is also very clear in his heart.

"Mr. Mendes, the transfer fees of these players obviously exceed their due value. Wouldn't this be your suggestion?"

Facing his strongest competitor, Raiola was no longer polite, pointing to the list and directly questioning Mendes.

Looking at Raiola, Mendes sneered.

"Mr. Raiola, it's not your first day as an agent. Don't you know what the current situation of the Manchester City club is?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that if other clubs come to negotiate the transfer, of course it won't be at this price."

"But if it's Manchester City, I'm sorry, that's the offer. Too expensive? You can buy it elsewhere."

Hearing that Mendes made no secret of his intention to slaughter the Manchester City club, Raiola also flushed with anger.

However, thinking of the huge commission he could get after facilitating the transfer, Raiola finally swallowed it forcefully.

"Mr. Mendes, if we buy a lot of players, can we get a discount?"

Raiola's words immediately surprised Mourinho, who was sitting next to him and watched the two great agents play against each other.

Damn, it's a good player transfer, how come it feels like buying vegetables in the vegetable market?

In the first negotiation between the two parties, it is naturally impossible to directly negotiate a result.

Raiola wants to pass Real Madrid's offer to Manchester City, and Mourinho also looked at Mendes curiously after Raiola left.

"Jorge, are you so sure that the other party will accept these offers? To be honest, the prices you set are generally high. If it were me, I would definitely not accept them."

"Jose, don't worry. We have the absolute upper hand now, so we can talk slowly."

"We must know that the winter transfer period of the Premier League is only one month, and time is on our side. The more we delay, the better for us."

Mourinho nodded slightly, but then followed up with a question.

"Jorge, what if the Manchester City club buys someone from another team? You must know that Raiola still has a very wide network."

"José, there weren't many transfer transactions in the winter transfer period. In addition, now everyone knows that Manchester City is rich and in a bad situation. Everyone is waiting to kill them."

"Even if they can buy individual players at a high price, their current state cannot be changed by just one or two people."

"According to the information I have collected, the only clubs that have the ability and willingness to provide a group of stars to Manchester City are our Real Madrid family."

"So, no matter what their attitude is now, they will come back to us honestly in the end."

While lighting his most beloved cigar, Mendes analyzed the opponent's situation for Mourinho.

After returning to the hotel where he stayed, Raiola first contacted Mancini, the current head coach of the Manchester City Club, and talked about the previous negotiation situation.

As a professional, Mancini immediately found the key to the problem.

"Mino, although the current abilities of these players are not bad, they are generally on the decline. Moreover, Real Madrid's asking price is so high, it is not worth buying them."

"Robert, of course I know what you said. But now you can find other clubs willing to provide us with so many stars?"

Raiola knew very well in his heart that if Mancini could not be persuaded, then it would be very difficult for Manchester City Club Chairman Kardun Al Mubarak.

This is also an important reason why he did not report directly to Kardun Al Mubarak, but first contacted Mancini.

On the other side of the phone, Mancini, who was far away in Manchester, stopped talking.

He knew very well in his heart that Raiola didn't care how much the Manchester City club would spend, and he didn't care whether these players had development potential in the future. He only cared about whether he could facilitate the transfer and get a huge commission.

However, Mancini also had to admit that what Raiola said made sense.

The current Manchester City club is in a very embarrassing situation, and everyone is waiting to kill Manchester City severely.

At this time, if Manchester City wants to buy players with reasonable price, strong strength and growth potential, it is a pipe dream.

After hesitating for a long time, Mancini could only choose to compromise in the end.

"Mino, I agree with you. I will report this matter to Mr. Chairman, and then select the players that need to be introduced from the list. Then you will go to Real Madrid for the next step of negotiation."

"Okay, Robert, I'll wait for your reply. However, you have to pay attention to one thing, our time is limited. The more we delay, the more passive we will be."

"Understood, I will give you an answer."

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran has also been paying close attention to the transfer deal between Manchester City and Real Madrid. He sincerely hopes that both parties can succeed.

He is looking forward to the thought of Manchester City, which is composed entirely of players who have gone downhill.

On January 1, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Crystal Palace will face the Championship team Millwall at the Emirates Stadium.

According to the usual practice, Chen Ran still sent a starting lineup composed of substitute players.

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

In the end, with goals from Dzeko, Cavani and Beckham, Crystal Palace beat Millwall 3-0 at home.

While advancing to the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chen Ran also got a "Level [-] Recovery Card" from the system.

After three days of rest, on January 1, Crystal Palace ushered in the Premier League No.28 three rounds.This time, they are going away to challenge West Ham United.

Crystal Palace, which sent all the main players, scored twice with Cristiano Ronaldo who returned from injury, and Thiago Silva's icing on the cake, easily won West Ham United 3:1 in the away game.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a winning bonus of 200 million euros from the system.

In the other matches of this round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 away, and Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 5-0 in the away game, while Arsenal were tied 1-1 by Everton in the away game.

Instead, Manchester City, under the command of Mancini, beat Newcastle United 2:1 at home and scored three life-saving points.

Just after the game ended, the Manchester City Club announced a news that shocked the world on its official website.
