Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 482
Chapter 482 Raising the price
“Mr. Chen, congratulations on getting another huge transfer income!”
As soon as he saw Chen Ran, Raiola immediately flattered him.
“Haha, Mino, then I also want to congratulate you. If Pogba’s transfer is successful, you can get at least a commission of more than 10 million.”
“Hey, I am also in the honor of Mr. Chen. Without the careful training of the Crystal Palace Club, Pogba would not have reached his current height.”
Raiola said with a smile.
At this time, the contradiction between Pogba, Guardiola and other Crystal Palace players seemed to not exist at all.
In the face of huge interests, this is nothing.
“Well, it’s good that you know what’s in your mind. Mino, both of you and I have achieved satisfactory results in this cooperation.”
“If you find any good seedlings in the future, you can continue to send them to the Crystal Palace Club. Let’s continue to cooperate like this time, what do you think?”
Chen Ran stood up, poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Raiola.
“Hahahaha, Mr. Chen, to have a top platform like the Crystal Palace Club help me develop players, of course I can’t wait for it.”
Raiola hurried forward to take the wine glass with both hands, and then asked courteously: “Mr. Chen, there are currently four clubs interested in introducing Pogba. I don’t know which one you prefer?”
“Whichever club bids the most, Pogba will be sold to whichever one.”
Chen Ran took a sip of the red wine and replied casually.
“Mr. Chen, the three clubs Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United are all in the Premier League. They are all direct competitors of the Crystal Palace Club for the league title.”
“If you sell Pogba to them, won’t it strengthen the strength of the competitors? Are you not worried at all?”
Raiola looked at Chen Ran curiously.
He originally thought that Chen Ran would request that Pogba not be sold to a Premier League club, but Pogba could only be sold to Real Madrid.
Raiola was a little bit sorry for this before, because without these three Premier League clubs raising their prices, he would not be able to get a higher offer from Real Madrid.
However, Chen Ran’s current decision greatly exceeded Raiola’s expectations. Although Raiola has the opportunity to earn more commissions, it makes him a little uneasy.
Every time he faced Chen Ran, Raiola couldn’t guess how the opponent would play his cards. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, which was also an important reason why Raiola did not dare to offend Chen Ran easily.
“Hahahaha, Mino, do you think Pogba can really improve the strength of the opposing team after joining another team?”
Chen Ran smiled and reached out to pat Raiola on the shoulder.
As a reborn, Chen Ran deeply knows how difficult Pogba is to serve.
In the previous life, after Pogba’s free transfer to Juventus, Manchester United spent hundreds of millions of euros to buy him back for the first time.
what’s the result? Not only did Manchester United fail to win the championship, but the team was in chaos. Although it is impossible to push all the faults on Pogba alone, it is undeniable that, as the biggest star in the team, he bears an unshirkable responsibility.
Therefore, Chen Ran doesn’t mind Pogba joining other Premier League clubs at all. He even wanted Pogba to mess up the opponent’s locker room.
“Mr. Chen, Pogba is still very capable. And he is still very young, and his future achievements are limitless.”
Raiola didn’t expect Chen Ran to say that.
Although he completely disagrees with Chen Ran’s opinion, after all, the two parties are cooperating on a transfer transaction worth over 100 million euros. Raiola didn’t want to freeze the relationship with Chen Ran at this time, so he could only argue with a wry smile.
“Hahahaha, Mino, I have never denied Pogba’s talent and strength. However, judging from his performance at the Crystal Palace Club in the past few years, he has a problem with his character, which is the biggest obstacle to his becoming a top superstar. obstacle.”
Chen Ran didn’t have any intention of hiding anything, and directly told Raiola what he thought of Pogba.
As the saying goes: “The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.”
Pogba is no longer a child, and the three views have been established. Even knowing his flaws, Chen Ran doesn’t think Raiola has the ability to change.
“.”
This time, Raiola was speechless.
Pogba’s problem is actually very clear in his heart.
However, he is not Pogba’s real father. As long as Pogba can help him earn money, of course other things should follow Pogba’s wishes as much as possible.
If Raiola really dares to point fingers at Pogba and control things, maybe Pogba will be poached by other agents.
Be aware that the contract between the agent and the player is not very binding.
Especially for those big-name players, it is not uncommon to fire their own agents. Raiola will not do stupid things like letting go of his cash cow.
“Mr. Chen, then should I really contact clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United?”
Raiola, who is a little worried, needs to confirm with Chen Ran again.
“Mino, don’t worry, I mean what I say. As long as the price satisfies me, Pogba can go to any club.”
“That’s good. Mr. Chen, don’t worry, I will help you get the highest transfer fee.”
“Haha, Mino, in the transfer market, I still believe in your ability. After all, the higher the transfer fee for Pogba, the higher the commission you can get.”
“Oh, by the way, Mino, there is one more thing I want to remind you about the transfer of Pogba, you’d better get it done before the start of the European Cup.”
“Mr. Erchen, is there a need to be in such a hurry? If Pogba performs well in the European Cup, it will be more conducive to raising his transfer value.”
Raiola was taken aback again when he heard that, Chen Ran repeatedly made unexpected decisions, which made Raiola feel as if he was always being led by the nose by Chen Ran, which made him very uncomfortable.
“Because I want to lead Belgium to participate in this European Cup, it is impossible for the French team to win the championship trophy. If the French team cannot win the championship, it will be difficult to add to Pogba’s transfer value.”
“On the contrary, if Pogba’s performance is not as expected, it may affect his transfer value. We’d better not do things with small benefits and high risks.”
“Mr. Erchen, are you so sure that the French team will not win this European Cup?”
Raiola asked persistently.
“What do you think?”
Chen Ran gave Raiola a sideways glance, then stopped talking to Raiola, and drank the red wine on his own.
This time, Raiola fell silent again.
If someone else said this, Raiola would dare to spit **** on him.
But now it is Chen Ran, but he can only accept it honestly.
No way, Chen Ran’s achievements in the past that blinded everyone’s eyes gave him enough confidence and qualifications to say such things.
“Well, Mr. Chen, I will negotiate the transfer of Pogba before the start of the European Cup. However, this way the time is a bit tight, and there is no way to repeatedly use the four clubs to raise prices with each other.”
“Pogba’s final transfer price may be affected to some extent, and the benefits cannot be maximized.”
In the end, Raiola chose to believe in Chen Ran’s judgment and reluctantly gave up part of the proceeds. There is no way, after all, the ownership of Pogba is still in the hands of the Crystal Palace Club, and Chen Ran is the one who makes the final decision.
“Haha, Mino, don’t be so sad. Believe me, Pogba’s performance in the European Cup is definitely not as good as you expected. His transfer value will not only not rise, but it may even fall. ”
“You know, Pogba is still a member of the Crystal Palace Club, and I certainly hope to sell him for a high price. After all, no one will push the money out, are you right?”
“Well, Mr. Chen, you can always convince me.”
Raiola smiled helplessly. He never took advantage of Chen Ran. It was so before, and it is still so now.
“Mino, just let it go, and I will let Louis fully cooperate with you. I wish us a fruitful harvest, cheers.”
“cheers!”
After getting permission from Chen Ran, Raiola immediately took action, flying between the four clubs of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.
What Raiola’s idea is, the top executives of these clubs are also aware of it.
It’s just that Pogba is indeed extremely attractive. So even if these club executives knew that Raiola was using them to raise prices for each other, they all recognized it with their noses, and none of them voluntarily withdrew.
After these years of trials, the Crystal Palace Club built by Chen Ran has become a recognized top club through championship trophies.
Under Chen Ran’s control, all players who play for the Crystal Palace Club are also recognized as excellent players. Even if not a top superstar, at least a first-class player in his position.
Moreover, the Crystal Palace club is extremely cohesive.
Since Chen Ran entered the Crystal Palace Club, in the past ten years, except for one Ibrahimovic, no main player has left the team in his prime.
This time, the Crystal Palace Club is willing to let go of Pogba, who is extremely talented and capable, and he is just 23 years old this year. How can he not make many wealthy clubs crazy?
If it wasn’t for Chen Ran’s asking price too high, I’m afraid the door of Fatty Louis’ office would be smashed by the executives of major clubs.
Among the four clubs, except for Manchester United, the other three are not short of money.
Especially Manchester City, the club chairman Kardun Al Mubarak even personally invited Raiola back.
You know, Raiola had previously worked as a transfer consultant for Manchester City.
However, since his Italian fellow Mancini was fired by Manchester City three years ago, Raiola has also tactfully resigned as a transfer consultant.
Now, Kardun Al Mubarak once again invited him to be the transfer consultant of the Manchester City Club. Raiola naturally knows the purpose.
However, Raiola did not directly refuse. He told Kardun Al Mubarak very frankly about Chen Ran’s conditions.
And said that the decision is in Chen Ran’s hands. He can only guarantee that when Manchester City’s bid is high enough, he will speak for the Manchester City club.
As the four major clubs successively made their own offers for Pogba, Raiola returned to Chen Ran again.
“Mr. Chen, considering the current quotations of the four clubs, Real Madrid has the highest asking price, reaching 130 million euros.”
“However, only 80 million euros are in cash, and they plan to replace the other 50 million euros with James Rodriguez.”
“James Rodriguez? That Colombian midfielder?”
Brows raised slightly, Chen Ran thought of the Colombian genius who was so famous in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Now it is actually reduced to a player who pays off the bill. It seems that James Rodriguez has not performed very well in Real Madrid in the past two years.
“Yes, Mr. Chen. This James Rodriguez still has strength. Although he can’t reach the level of a top superstar, he can be regarded as a first-class player.”
Maybe worried that Chen Ran didn’t understand the situation of James Rodriguez, Raiola also said a few more words on purpose.
“Mino, do you think this James Rodriguez can replace Modric, De Bruyne or Toni Kroos?”
“Mr. Erchen, don’t make fun of me, James Rodriguez can’t replace these stars.”
Raiola was so choked by Chen Ran’s words that he couldn’t answer for a long time.
Whether it is Modric, De Bruyne or Toni Kroos, they are now the core midfielders of the Crystal Palace club. How can James Rodriguez, who is going to be kicked out by Real Madrid, be compared?
“Mino, I didn’t mean to make fun of you. I just want to say that the Crystal Palace Club has enough midfielders now, and it’s useless to ask for James Rodriguez.”
“Mr. Chen, what do you plan to do with the offer from Real Madrid?”
“Mino, you tell the Real Madrid club. I just want money, not players.”
“Okay, I understand. Mr. Chen, the Manchester City club offered Pogba 120 million euros, the Liverpool club offered 110 million euros, and the Manchester United club was the least, only 100 million and 50 million euros.” million euros.”
“105 million euros? The Glazer family is still so petty.”
Chen Ran muttered something secretly in his heart, then looked at Raiola.
“Mino, it’s hard work for you to run again. If Real Madrid Club is not willing to pay all the money, then we will choose Manchester City Club.”
“Okay, Mr. Chen, I’m going to Spain now.”
With tens of millions of euros in commissions, Raiola doesn’t feel tired at all. After getting the answer from Chen Ran, he flew to Madrid overnight.
