Chapter 184 Three-party transaction
On June 6, Portuguese time, one month before the opening of the summer transfer window, the Portuguese super giant Benfica announced the first transfer transaction of the new season.

Giovanni officially left Europe with a worth of 450 million euros and returned to the Brazilian parent team Cruzeiro.

In the new season, Cruzeiro is preparing to win the double crown in the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian Serie A. The return of the old Giovanni has supplemented the team's immediate combat power in the half.

Before leaving Lisbon, at the airport, Giovanni declared to the media: "Returning to Brazil is just to find a better self, I will still return to Europe to play football! And, it will definitely be the top five leagues! Waiting for me Come back!"

Ran goose ...

In the eyes of the media, as long as Giovanni does not return to the Portuguese Super League-even if Giovanni's dribble breakthrough from the side is quite entertaining.but!Giovanni's "lone wolf" attribute is simply poisonous in the eyes of fans. It's better to go back to Brazil to dribble enough, and don't go back to Europe to harm other teams...

As soon as Giovanni left, Benfica happily announced the second transfer deal.

Braga suddenly soared in the second half. The super-efficient new star who scored 8 goals in only 11 games, 18-year-old Diego Costa from Brazil officially transferred to Benfica!
As soon as the news came out, the entire Portuguese football world exploded.

On the night of the end of last season, eight Portuguese Super League teams made intentional offers to Diego's agent, Jorge Mendes.

Among them, the offer made by Sporting Lisbon even reached 880 million euros!
However, to everyone's surprise, Benfica actually took Diego, a rising supernova, with a transfer fee of 750 million euros?
There must be something tricky here, right?

After the Benfica club announced Diego's official transfer, Jorge Mendes's phone calls were directly blown up by the chairman and general manager of each club.

In this regard, Jorge Mendes can only helplessly tell them the truth.

"Choosing Benfica is Diego's firm intention, and I can't help it. I need to respect the player's choice."

Braga fans are even more dissatisfied with the club's top management.

I thought that the club had a supernova who could create team history, but...Diego also played 2 games in the Portuguese League and 8 games in the Portuguese Super League at the Minho Arsenal, and then he was regarded as a "hard man". Currency" has materialized.

All of a sudden, Braga faced overwhelming boos.

But Braga executives obviously expected this to happen. On the same day, the Braga club made emergency public relations work to make up for the frustration of the fans.

Alberto Ze Meyon, the main center of Belenises, has officially transferred to Braga!
Most importantly, the transfer fee is only 330 million euros!
This season, Alberto Ze Meyon played 28 times for Belenises, scored 18 goals, and won the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot this season.

With only a transfer fee of 330 million euros to win this efficient big center, the lost mood of Braga fans was quickly reversed.

Not only that, Braga also officially announced a two-year contract extension with the team's offensive core Joao Thomas, retaining this versatile forward who was single-handedly responsible for the team's progress in the first half.

Alberto Ze Meyon, plus Joao Thomas' striker combination, this is the striker duo with a total of 30+ goals last season!

Such a strong striker configuration also makes Braga fans look forward to the team's performance in the new season.

Of course, what the fans don't know is that Braga's ability to win Alberto Ze Meyon at such a "cabbage price" is purely due to the advance operation of Diego's transfer to Benfica.

For Benfica, Felipe Vieira has a special liking for Diego. He even gave Diego a deep hug when he met him for the first time: "Child! I think You will be the future of Benfica! Join us! The number 9 jersey, our club would like to keep it for you.”

This also touched Diego to some extent.

Of course, the reason why Diego resolutely chose to join Benfica is because two Chinese players, Yu Dabao and Wang Gang, will become Benfica players next season—Diego is so eager to play with Chinese players!After all, that is my real motherland!

As for Felipe Vieira's "painting cake" behavior, Diego doesn't like those pretty words.

On Diego's side, Benfica was definitely chosen, and on Braga's side, "the lion opened his mouth"-Diego is the future of Braga, without 1000 million euros, don't even think about taking Diego away!snort!

This made Felipe Vieira very worried.

It's not that Benfica can't afford 1000 million euros, but it's just that if Diego, who has just played 8 games in the Portuguese Super League and has no professional league experience before, offers a transfer fee of 1000 million euros, that will Disrupted the order of the transfer market.

For this reason, under the coordination of Jorge Mendes' thousand needles, the two clubs Benfica and Braga launched a two-week negotiation-the total number of Benfica's death cannot exceed 850 million euros, while Braga is firm on the attitude of "at least 1000 million euros, otherwise don't talk about it".

In the end, it was Jorge Mendes, the "Football Buffett", who coordinated and solved the problem.

Knowing that Braga's summer signings are very interested in Alberto Ze Meyon, a high-efficiency big center for Bileneses, and Benfica had always wanted to sign Alberto Ze Meyon before choosing Diego. After returning to the Stadium of Light, Jorge Mendes immediately decided-let's make a three-way deal!

In this way, all three parties can benefit.

As a cooperative club of Benfica, Belenises obviously accepted the three-way deal.

After all, it is difficult for Bilenises to keep Alberto Ze Meyon. They have no way to provide Meyon with a bigger stage, such as the Champions League, and they have no way to offer Meyon a generous contract to match His highlight performance in the league last season.

In the end, under the coordination of Jorge Mendes, the three clubs reached a friendly three-way deal in private.

Braga offered Diego a base transfer fee of 680 million, plus other floating terms, up to a transfer fee of 750 million euros, and brought Diego from the Braga Municipal Stadium to the Stadium of Light.

Belenises sent Alberto Ze Meyon to the Braga Municipal Stadium with a low transfer fee of 330 million euros-this move is moving, mainly thanks to Meyon and his agent The contract just expired, and Jorge Mendes signed it by the way, so that he can move.

As for Benfica, it is necessary to send 3 regular rotation players to Bilenises in the form of "2 free transfers + 1 loan for a season" to make up for Bilenises sending Mei at a low price. eternal loss.

Benfica, which seems to be at a disadvantage, is actually the one that has made a lot of money—Benfica, which has entered the rebuilding stage, can basically be sure to sign a large number of signings. These regular rotation players are sent to Bilenises, which is just a clean-up Let alone the inventory, it is not a disadvantage at all.

In this way, the three clubs can be described as a three-party smile.

And Jorge Mendes, who manipulated the transfer from it, must have laughed more.

In this three-party transaction, Jorge Mendes can be said to have made a lot of money, and most importantly, he was able to reach a long-term strategic cooperation with the three clubs.

In the future, the money will continue to flow~
