Chapter 699: Ambition

The next day, Mourinho went from house to house, saying goodbye to his former disciple and persuading the world's No. 1 right-back McCone to move to Real Madrid.

Mendes visited Moratti again, but despite Mendes' words, Moratti still did not agree to eliminate Mourinho's liquidated damages.

On the third day, Mendes went to visit Moratti again, but Moratti simply disappeared and pointed him to Blanca, which can be imagined that Mendes could only get cynicism in Blanca, not a satisfactory result.

Mendes was unsuccessful, and Mourinho's persuasion of McCone did not receive a positive answer, so the two had to return to Madrid in disgrace and blame Real Madrid.

The summer transfer is a critical period to build and run in the team, this year is another World Cup year, the new coach wants to observe the players, the World Cup is the best stage, only half a month away from the start of the World Cup in South Africa, the Champions League 16 Real Madrid and the successful Inter Milan can not afford to spend, they must quickly determine the head coach.

In order to get Moratti's understanding, the arrogant Florentino had to rush to Milan to negotiate with Moratti in person, hoping that Moratti would let Mourinho leave Inter Milan.

Moratti, who has always been generous, doesn't really care about 16 million euros at all. What really annoyed Moratti was the way Mourinho walked away. Although the madman has been vocal in the run-up to the Champions League final, Moratti has been extremely restrained in order to secure the Champions League. After the Champions League final, Mourinho once again made a declaration to go to Real Madrid, which was considered out of place. To make matters worse, after the game, Moratti invited the whole team to celebrate in Madrid, but Mourinho slipped away early in Florentino's Audi.

But the most excessive thing is that after Moratti returned to Milan, he was teased by a Spanish radio station, which imitated Florentino to call Moratti, and Moratti also seriously invited Florentino to Milan to sit down and negotiate, only to learn later that he had been fooled.

Florentino's personal visit also erased a fraction of the 3 million euros of Sneijder's transfer, which can be regarded as saving a little face for Moratti.

The knot in Moratti's heart was not completely unraveled, but it also gave Florentino face, and the liquidated damages of 16 million euros were only a fraction of 6 million euros, and agreed to negotiate with Real Madrid on the transfer of McConn.

Florentino also wanted to take Gao Xiaodong from Inter Milan, but Moratti resolutely refused, saying that Inter Milan would not sell his core as much as Real Madrid gave as much transfer fee, and even if Real Madrid activated the liquidated damages, Inter Milan would compete with Real Madrid to the end.

Florentino knew that Gao Xiaodong had liquidated damages, and he didn't care that Moratti agreed or disagreed to say hello and do business in the future, so after negotiating Mourinho's liquidated damages, he left Milan.

Before Florentino came to Milan, Mourinho asked Florentino to meet Gao Xiaodong in person, but Florentino came to Milan with great fanfare in order to give Moratti face, and he was worried that it would be too flamboyant to meet Gao Xiaodong after meeting Moratti, so he did not see Gao Xiaodong, and only after returning to Madrid did he let manager Baldano go to meet Gao Xiaodong.

The conditions that Real Madrid can provide Gao Xiaodong knows, and now he is waiting for the price to sell, of course, Baldano can't talk about any results, but Baldano is just to express Real Madrid's sincerity, look at Gao Xiaodong's requirements, and don't plan to succeed.

Although Gao Xiaodong told Valdano that he had no intention of leaving Inter Milan, Chairman Moratti treated him well, with a high salary, high status, and comfortable football. But Valdano knew Gao Xiaodong's mind through Mendes and Mourinho, and he knew from the meaning of Gao Xiaodong's words that Gao Xiaodong's doubts about the transfer were mainly worried about his status, salary and position to play in Real Madrid.

These are all things that Baldano can't promise, of course, even if he can, he will never promise at the first meeting, so the two sides talked briefly, had a light meal, and Baldano went back.

Three days later, Real Madrid officially announced that Mourinho became the head coach of Real Madrid, signing a four-year contract with an annual salary of 10 million, Ronaldo, Kaka, Casillas and other Real Madrid superstars welcomed Mourinho, and midfield superstar Guti, who was ready to transfer, also said that he would stay and play side by side with Mourinho.

So far, Real Madrid's half-year-long pursuit of Mourinho has finally come to fruition, Mourinho has ended his short but glorious years at Inter Milan, and will build a Muslim galaxy battleship to challenge the space team Barcelona and compete for the Champions League title.

After Mourinho confirmed his departure, Inter Milan's most important task was to find a new coach and renew Gao Xiaodong's contract as soon as possible.

Inter Milan must find a suitable coach as soon as possible if they want to continue their current glory, otherwise Moratti's big international dream will definitely be shattered.

At the moment, Inter Milan have three targets: Capello, Guus Hiddink and Benitez, who is in the whirlpool of dismissal.

Moratti values Fabio Capello, who has a brilliant record, but Capello is preparing for the World Cup with England, and it is unlikely that he will take office in a short time, and Inter Milan cannot wait until after the World Cup to decide on the manager.

Hiddink, similar to Capello, has just coached the Turkish national team, and it is not easy to poach, only Benitez wants more.

Benitez's Liverpool did not finish in the top four of the league this season, lost the Champions League places, and the Champions League group that became famous did not appear, and did not win a single title.

Benitez would be the best candidate for Inter Milan if he leaves the class, and in addition to his good record, Benitez has beaten Mourinho five times in cup competitions, and for Moratti, the coach who can beat Mourinho now is the best coach.

While looking for coaches all over the world, Inter Milan did not ignore the contract renewal negotiations with Gao Xiaodong at all.

Although Gao Xiaodong and Inter Milan still have two years of contract, there are many teams poaching Gao Xiaodong now, and the liquidated damages of 80 million euros are not insured at all, and Inter Milan must quickly use sincerity to retain Gao Xiaodong.

After Mourinho's trouble, Inter Milan no longer believes Mendes' position, and they are now talking to Mendes on the one hand, and directly contacting Gao Xiaodong on the other hand, in case Mendes makes unfavorable moves against Inter Milan.

Inter Milan once gave Gao Xiaodong an annual salary of 8 million euros during the winter break, Gao Xiaodong did not agree, and dragged it to the Champions League final, as Gao Xiaodong won the treble and won the top scorer in the league and the Champions League, his value and annual salary are soaring, 8 million euros is definitely not worthy of Gao Xiaodong's strength, and Manchester City, who is still obsessed with Gao Xiaodong, has given Gao Xiaodong's annual salary of 15 million euros.

In order to retain Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan gave Gao Xiaodong the highest salary in the team of 11 million euros, 500,000 euros higher than Eto'o, and liquidated damages of 150 million euros.

However, although Gao Xiaodong was very satisfied with this contract, he expressed his hope to determine the team's coach and this season's reinforcements before deciding whether to owe the contract.

Gao Xiaodong's meaning is obvious, he wants to see the attitude of the new coach towards him, and whether the team has the ambition to defend the Champions League this season.

But after winning the treble, Inter Milan's senior management believes that they are already the best team in the world, according to the Italian's idea, the stool is not broken, there is no need to replace it, there is no need to buy big-name players at all, just find a few substitutes for the main players, they don't understand Gao Xiaodong's thoughts, and they are bent on persuading Gao Xiaodong to sign the contract, which is obviously difficult for the ambitious Gao Xiaodong, who is only 20 years old, to make up his mind.

When Inter Milan was having a headache for Mourinho's resignation and Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal, an "earthquake" suddenly broke out in English football, first Liverpool announced the dismissal of their meritorious coach Benitez, and then Rooney once again bombarded Manchester United's lack of ambition and asked for a transfer.

This season's Rooney has performed extremely well after Ronaldo's departure, with 36 goals second only to Gao Xiaodong and Messi, but Manchester United only won the League Cup, which is not even as good as chicken ribs, which makes Rooney very dissatisfied, and he hopes that the team will bring in strong reinforcements to match his ambition to lead the team to the championship, but the team's delay in action makes him very dissatisfied.

Rooney can now be said to be the top name in the Premier League, and he has just reported that he wants to transfer, and the "Sun" immediately revealed that Real Madrid is ready to use 50 million pounds plus Benzema to buy Rooney, and Manchester City, the city's sworn rival, is ready to offer 50 million pounds to buy Rooney and provide the latter with a four-year contract worth 50 million pounds. Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has also made public overtures to Wayne Rooney.

Originally, Gao Xiaodong's delay in renewing his contract with Inter Milan has attracted major European giants to move, and with the addition of Rooney, the European transfer market has been made into a pot of porridge by the ambitions of two fat men for a while.
