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 Manchester City during the winter transfer period, even on loan."

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

   "Finally, Crystal Palace Club will buy Kevin back from that club."

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

   While sighing in his heart, these big brokers' shots are different. To be able to mobilize another club to be a bridge, this kind of energy is really not something that such a small agent can have.

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

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

"Haha, Kevin, if Crystal Palace asks Manchester City to buy you directly, there will only be two results. Either Manchester City will open up a huge price, or they will simply refuse. They will never sell you to themselves. competitor.”

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

   In the face of DeCoster's explanation, De Bruyne was even more confused.

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

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

   "It's ridiculous."

  De Bruyne whispered.

  Herwig and DeCoster looked at each other and both showed helpless wry smiles.

  The world of adults is so absurd sometimes.

   "Herwig, if you and Kevin have no problem, then I'll follow Mr. Ferger's plan?"

  Herwig turned his head and glanced at his son, seeing De Bruyne nodding like a chicken pecking rice, he suddenly made up his mind.

   "Mr. DeCoster, Kevin's business is in trouble."

   "Don't worry, wrap it on me."

   Early the next morning, little fat Louis received a call from DeCoster. After getting a positive answer, he immediately ran to Chen Ran's office.

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

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

   Chen Ran was not surprised when he heard the news of the little fat man. At De Bruyne's age, if he hasn't played all the time, he's useless.

"Actually, the most suitable clubs are the clubs under our Galaxy Football Group. But now we are building a lot to attract the wind. With the energy of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it is easy to find out the relationship between these clubs and Crystal Palace. Therefore, this time, these clubs can't use it. already."

  Little 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 on loan in the Bundesliga in his previous life, so he added another sentence.

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

   "Bundesliga team?"

  Little Fatty Louis thought for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and 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 executives."

   "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 appropriate choice."

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

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

   "What conditions?"

   Hearing this question from Louis, Chen Ran suddenly fell into contemplation. In the entire office, there was only the sound of his fingers tapping the desk rhythmically.

   "Louis, you tell the Hamburg club that if they promise to help, then Crystal Palace will pay for the loan of De Bruyne."

"If they can sign a buyout clause with Manchester City, as long as the agreed transfer fee is less than 20 million euros. Crystal Palace will pay this transfer fee in the future, and at the same time, pay the Hamburg club a bonus of 5 million euros. "

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

   Originally, the little fat man Louis was worried that Chen Ran’s conditions were too low, and the Hamburg side might not agree.

   But when he heard Chen Ran's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

   "Chen, are you so optimistic about this De Bruyne? If you follow your conditions, Crystal Palace will pay close to 30 million euros for this Belgian child. Is it worth it?"

  You think I will.

  Chen Ran pouted inwardly.

  What is the most expensive in the 21st century?

   Talent!

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

   calmed down, Chen Ran walked over and patted the little fat Louis on the shoulder.

   "Don't worry, when did I make a loss-making transaction? De Bruyne's future worth will definitely exceed 30 million euros."

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

After    assigned the task for the little fat Louis, Chen Ran put his energy back to the Crystal Palace.

   Next, they have to face the famous Christmas devil schedule in the Premier League.

  On December 26th, in the nineteenth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go to Manchester to challenge Manchester City this time;

  On December 30th, in the twentieth round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will host Aston Villa at home;

  On January 3, the third round of the FA Cup in England, Crystal Palace will meet the challenge of Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium this time;

  On January 7th, in the twenty-first round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace will go away to challenge Everton.

   Since Crystal Palace is now 7 points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, this time Chen Ran is not under a lot of pressure to face the Christmas devil schedule.

   However, when faced with Manchester City, who had fallen into the relegation zone and ranked 18th in the Premier League, Chen Ran planned to attack with all his strength and give Mark Hughes a ride.

   For nothing but the extra 10 million euros spent on De Bruyne, Chen Ran also asked Mark Hughes to collect some interest back.

   On the Manchester City side, Mark Hughes, who is now standing on the edge of the cliff, is also looking at the schedule in his hand with a tingling 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 president Caldun Al Mubarak is contacting Inter Milan coach Mancini has spread all over the sky and has become an open secret.

  Mark Hughes is starting to lose confidence in whether he can safely get through this winter transfer period.

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

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

  Although it is rumored that the owner Caldun Al Mubarak is going to replace Mark Hughes, at least he is still the head coach of Manchester City Club and has the right to decide whether or not to keep players.

   "Burger? Who do they want to rent?"

   Since the two clubs had previously cooperated with Dutch midfielder De Jong, Mark Hughes was not too surprised by the sudden arrival of Hamburg.

   "Edbrune."

   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 stunned.

   "Oh 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 urged him.

   "It's better to go out on loan. Maybe this little guy can grow up quickly after training in the Bundesliga."

   smiled self-deprecatingly, but Mark Hughes was still relieved.

  Although he fell into trouble with De Bruyne, it would be a bit too much to keep the opponent and not let them go, and not give them a chance to play.

   "Leave a line in everything, and see you in the future." The old man Mark Hughes still knows the truth.

   Now that he himself is unable to protect himself, there is no need to offend others.

   After all, if this kind of thing is spread out, which player would be willing to work for him in the future?

   "Oh boss, in addition to wanting to rent De Bruyne, Hamburg also proposed a buyout clause."

   "Buyout clause? Hamburg club is so optimistic about De Bruyne?"

   This time, Mark Houston became serious, and then asked a question.

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

   "10 million euros."

   Hesitated for a while, but Mark Bowen carefully said the offer from the Hamburg side.

   "Hehe, what a hamburger club, they're here to take advantage of the fire, aren't they?"

  Mark Hughes was **** off.

   He spent 40 million euros to buy De Bruyne to Manchester City, but Hamburg wanted to take De Bruyne away for 10 million euros.

   Didn't this **** tell everyone clearly that he, Mark Hughes, made a big loss-making business and was a complete idiot?

   "Boss, why don't I go and reject the Burger Club directly?"

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

   De Bruyne’s stay in the Manchester City club is always a hidden danger. As long as the owner sees him, he will think of the fact that he made the club lose a lot of money.

  De Bruyne does not leave Manchester City for a day, and this thing will never end.

   Why don't we take advantage of Hamburg's offer to loan De Bruyne to deal with this kid?

   After weighing it carefully for a long time, Mark Hughes felt that this was a good opportunity to stop loss.

   However, 10 million euros is too low to explain, and there must be more blood on the Hamburg side.

   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 can be done, and a buyout clause can also be added. But the transfer fee must not be less than 20 million euros, otherwise it will be negotiable. Understand?"

"clear."

   As the confidant of Mark Hughes brought to Manchester City, Mark Bowen immediately understood what his boss meant, which was to deal with De Bruyne.

  Mark Bowen quickly passed the meaning of Mark Hughes to the Burger Club, and the Burger Club immediately sent the news to the little fat Louis.

  Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran's office.

   "Chen, there is news from Hamburg. It is exactly as you guessed. Manchester City agreed to the buyout clause and asked for 20 million euros."

   The little fat man rushed in excitedly, and praised Chen Ran's accurate judgment as he spoke.

  Chen Ran pouted secretly, what's the joy of spending so much money?

   "Luis, you told the Hamburg club to agree to Manchester City's conditions. But all contracts must be signed before December 26."

   "Er Chen, the winter transfer period in England doesn't start until January 1st, is it necessary to be so anxious?" The fat man looked at Chen Ran in confusion.

   "Hehe, our game with Manchester City will be played on December 26. I'm afraid that after the game is over, Mark Hughes will no longer be the manager of the Manchester City club. Understand?"

   "Er Chen, are you going to kill Mark Hughes?"

   Seeing Chen Ran's sneer, little fat Louis was all over his head.

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

   "It should be, it should be!"

  December 26th, it is sunny and sunny, it is advisable to move and change jobs.

  Although Manchester City club fell into the relegation zone, because they are going to face the Premier League's overlord Crystal Palace in this game, so their home Manchester City Stadium still came to a large number of Manchester City fans.

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

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

   "Is there a problem with the contract?"

   "I checked with the lawyer several times overnight."

   "That's good, so I can safely send Mark Hughes on his way."
