Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 405

   After trying his best to persuade Mancini to change his mind, Raiola left the Manchester City club angrily.

How to do?

   Link Pogba to another club?

   Back at the residence, Raiola fell into contemplation.

   He also knows that under normal circumstances, these giant clubs cannot only sign Pogba's three-year contract.

   And those small clubs who are willing to sign, Raiola doesn't like it, because it is not conducive to his subsequent packaging hype for Pogba.

  Thinking about it, Raiola, who was still a little unwilling, called some high-level executives of the wealthy clubs he had worked with with a fluke mentality.

   As a result, they were all rejected without exception.

  There is no way, just experienced a financial tsunami that swept the world, everyone suffered heavy losses, and the landlord's family has no surplus food.

   Now everyone wants to break a penny into two flowers. This kind of thing obviously damages the interests of the club. No one dares to play with Raiola.

  Raiola, who was bumping into walls everywhere, finally gave up.

   After hesitating for a long time, he called Fatty Louis again.

   Compared with the upstart Manchester City Club, Raiola values ​​Chen Ran's reputation for being good at picking players and the platform of Crystal Palace, a championship team.

  With the blessings of Chen Ran and Crystal Palace Club, he will be more convincing when packing and hyping Pogba in the future.

   After receiving Raiola's call, the fat little Louis ran to Chen Ran's office immediately.

   "Chen, the Raiola guy has spoken, he accepts your offer for Pogba."

   "Is it a five-year contract?"

   "Yes, he promised to sign a five-year contract."

   "Hehe, it seems that everyone is not stupid, this guy probably got a lot of backdoors." Chen Ran smiled slightly, he had expected this result.

  After the financial tsunami, even the wealthy clubs have to frugal. Those club executives who have close ties to Raiola would not dare to risk their positions at this time.

   "Chen, if you have no other questions, then I'll tell Raiola to bring Pogba over to sign the contract?"

   "Wait a minute. You told Raiola that I changed my mind. The conditions changed back to the original signing fee of 2 million euros, annual salary of 1 million euros, commission of 1 million euros, five-year contract."

"what?"

   This time, the little fat Louis was also surprised.

   After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but put forward a different opinion.

   "Chen, isn't it good for you to do this? After all, it's a bit of a bad rule to overturn the terms that have been negotiated. Besides, we Crystal Palace don't lack this money."

"Luis, it's not about money. Raiola has played tricks in front of me several times, and I have to teach him a deep lesson. Otherwise, Pogba will be in Crystal Palace in the future, and I don't know what kind of **** will happen. "

  As a reborn, Chen Ran knows how much a pair of Raiola and Pogba can toss.

   As a neutral fan in his previous life, seeing the old giant club Manchester United being tossed to death by these two guys, he couldn't help but feel pain for the Manchester United club.

   Now, of course, Chen Ran should take a warning and give Raiola, the black hand behind Pogba, a killing blow.

   "Chen, then you're not worried that Raiola won't sell Pogba to us if he gets angry?"

   After knowing the reason why Chen Ran did this, the little fat Louis asked curiously again.

   "Hehe, as long as there is enough interest, this guy Raiola will control his temper."

   "Louis, you told Raiola that if you want to make a lot of money, then honestly agree to my terms."

   "Uh, okay. Chen, if the conversation falls apart, you can't blame me."

   "Don't worry, it won't break down. If Raiola comes to us again, you can bring him directly to see me."

"clear."

   Seeing Chen Ran's confident appearance, little fat Louis finally chose to believe his judgment.

   As expected by Chen Ran, Raiola ran from Manchester to London again after receiving a reply from the little fat Louis.

   "Mr. Chen, you are the owner of Galaxy Football Group and Crystal Palace Club, and you are the most recognized coach in football today. How can you go back on your word?"

   As soon as he entered the door, Raiola cried and cried.

  Chen Ran ignored him at all, just sat quietly in a chair drinking coffee while watching his performance.

   Howled dryly for a while, seeing that Chen Ran was still indifferent. Raiola had no choice but to wipe away tears that didn't exist at all, blinked, and approached Chen Ran naively.

   "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by making big money?"

   "The show is over?"

   "Hey, the show is over."

   "That's good, let's get down to business now. Mino, if you're willing to accept my conditions, I can promise to help you develop Pogba well."

   "In the future, as long as the price is right, you can operate Pogba to any team, and I will not stop it."

   "Any team? Mr. Chen, does this include a Premier League team?"

   As soon as it came to business, Raiola immediately became serious.

   "That's right. It doesn't matter if it's Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool and Manchester City."

   "Mr. Chen, you're so cool!"

  Raiola gave Chen Ran a thumbs up, and he did not expect that Chen Ran would agree to sell Pogba to a rival of Crystal Palace Club.

   However, he followed up with another question.

   "Mr. Chen, I don't know if the price you said is appropriate. How much do you mean?"

   "One hundred million euros."

   "Mr. Chen, we are talking about business now, please don't joke."

  Raiola's face froze, if it were someone else, he might have been unable to resist yelling.

   "Minuo, it seems that you don't have enough confidence in your players."

  God's confidence is not enough. Now, in 2009, the record of the transfer fee for football players is still 56 million euros when Zidane moved from Juventus to Real Madrid.

   Now Chen Ran has directly set the transfer price of Pogba to 100 million euros. Even Raiola, a guy who only has money in his eyes, thinks this is a fantasy.

   "Mr. Chen, it's not a question of my confidence, but a question of whether the club is willing to pay the money."

  Raiola was too lazy to continue pretending at this time, and rolled his eyes in front of Chen Ran.

   "Not now, doesn't mean not in a few years. Mino, you underestimate the oil rich in the Middle East."

   "Mr. Chen, what do you mean"

"That's right, it's what you think. These guys make money easily and don't feel bad about spending it. I believe that after my years of training, plus you do a good job of hyping it up, there will definitely be someone for Pogba. willing to take over.”

   "Think about it, even if you take a commission according to the international practice of 10% of the transfer fee, you can get at least 10 million euros. If you add the commission for the signing fee and salary, this is a huge sum of money."

   Chen Ran's analysis immediately silenced Raiola.

After thinking about it, Raiola thought that Chen Ran's analysis made sense.

  In his opinion, with the support of Chen Ran, a top coach, and Crystal Palace, a top club, Pogba can be guaranteed to grow into a superstar to the greatest extent possible.

  Cristiano Ronaldo and many other Crystal Palace stars are examples. Raiola has no doubts about Chen Ran's ability to train players.

   Of course, Raiola is not a rebirth after all, and he does not know that Pogba also played hundreds of millions of euros in Juventus in his previous life.

   After a long time, Raiola finally made a decision.

   "Mr. Chen, I can accept your conditions, but the contract must also add a liquidated damage clause of 100 million euros."

   "In addition, if no club is willing to take Pogba away for 100 million euros during the period stipulated in the contract, you must compensate me and Pogba according to the conditions we agreed before."

   "Hahaha, okay, no problem. If no one wants to buy Pogba for 100 million euros, I'll give you the money."

   Seeing Raiola's demeanor, Chen Ran couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

   "However, Mino, I want to remind you of one thing. I don't care what you do elsewhere, but at Crystal Palace, you and Pogba are honest and don't make trouble for me. Understand?"

   "Hey, Mr. Chen, see what you said, I am an honest person. Don't worry, I will make Pogba behave properly at Crystal Palace Club."

   Just when Chen Ran took care of Raiola, in the Liverpool club, Benitez was already a little picky.

   No way, now with the commitment of the Qatar consortium to have no budget cap, he has never fought such a wealthy battle in the transfer market.

   "Rafael, why don't I see the names of any Crystal Palace players in your signing list? There are so many stars in their team, don't you like any of them?"

   is talking about Leonardo, the newly appointed sports director and former Brazilian famous star Leonardo, after the Qatar consortium entered the Liverpool club.

   "Cough, Leonardo, it's not that I despise Crystal Palace's players, but past experience tells me that those players can't be dug up at all, so I just don't think about them."

   Benitez knows that Leonardo has not been involved in the Premier League in his career, and guesses that the other party may not know much about the situation of Premier League clubs.

   "Rafael, I think you may need to change the way you think about things. Now Liverpool is no longer the Liverpool club you coached before. If you can't dig it before, it doesn't mean you can't dig it now."

   Looking at the high-spirited Leonardo, Benitez hesitated, and finally decided not to argue with the other party.

   Chen Ran's method, Benitez, who has coached in the Premier League for many years, has a deep understanding.

   He felt that it would not be a bad thing to let this newcomer Leonardo learn a lesson, so that the other party would not reach into his own territory.

"Leonardo, you're right. In fact, I've been drooling over Crystal Palace players for a long time, like that Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi, Ribeiro, Modric, Yaya Toure, I want players like Mascherano, Thiago Silva, Chiellini, Vidic, Alves, etc. If you can buy them all, that's a great achievement. "

   "Cough, Rafael, you really want a lot of players."

   Leonardo was also taken aback when he saw Benitez calling out a long list of players' names.

  Good guy, it turns out that Benitez didn't look down on the Crystal Palace players, but was thinking about taking the other side.

"Haha, it's a bit too much, I'm too greedy. However, Leonardo, even if you can only buy a part of it, that's a lot of credit. Whether we Liverpool can win the championship trophy next season, it's just a matter of It all depends on your transfer operation."

   Even Benitez, who is obsessed with studying techniques and tactics, has honed his career for so many years, and he has mastered all the methods of the club.

   What's more, he really hopes that Leonardo can poach players from Crystal Palace Club.

   "No problem, Rafael, the transfer is all on me."

   In his previous life, Leonardo introduced many big-name stars to the club when he was the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain.

   It's not how strong his ability is, but the method he adopts is simple and rude, but powerful.

   As long as it is a player that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in, Leonardo will directly go up and get money. Coupled with the strong financial support of the Qatar consortium, this move is really unbearable for ordinary people.

   Leonardo, who boasted about Haikou in front of Benitez, acted resolutely and soon sent an offer to Crystal Palace Club.

  Looking at the dense list of quotations, the little fat Louis seemed familiar. When the Abu Dhabi consortium first entered the Manchester City Club, Mark Hughes seemed to have done the same.

   With Liverpool's quotation, little fat Louis immediately rushed to Chen Ran's office.

   "Chen, another upstart is eyeing our Crystal Palace."

   "Oh? You're not talking about Liverpool, are you?"

  Chen Ran didn't even lift his head, continued to look at the document in his hand, and replied casually.

   "Uh, you all know?"

   "I guess. The Qataris have just joined the Liverpool club, and they must make some moves. As the club with the most limelight now, it is expected that we have become their target."

   Seeing that everything was under Chen Ran's control, the little fat Louis also relaxed immediately.

   raised the fax in his hand, and he followed up with another question.

   "Chen, it seems that you can't hide anything from you, and you have guessed it again this time. However, what about this quotation? Liverpool's shot is quite generous this time."

   "What to do with what? Of course, reject all."

   "Uh, don't you want to know what price the other party offered?" Little fat Louis looked curious.

   "Know what these do? I'm not going to sell them anyway."

   "Okay, then I'll go and reject them."

   Soon, Leonardo received a reply from the little fat Luis.

   Seeing that Crystal Palace refused directly and did not even give the opportunity to negotiate, Leonardo was a little angry.
