When Gao Xiaodong convened his team to discuss staying next season, Real Madrid manager Baldano was discussing the details of Mourinho's coaching of Real Madrid with Mendes at Mendes' Gadfoot agency.

Mourinho and Real Madrid have basically reached an agreement, all that is discussed is the details of the contract, and Florentino and Mourinho will certainly not be on the scene on such a high-profile occasion.

Baldano and Mendes were mainly talking about signings and liquidated damages for Mourinho.

Mourinho wants to take Gao Xiaodong, McConn, Milito and Quaresma from Inter Milan, and Di Maria and Coentrão from Benfica, while Baldano thinks Milito is too old, Quaresma's level is not worthy of Real Madrid, Di Maria is too young and the asking price is too high, and hopes that Mourinho will give up these three players.

In addition, Mourinho and Inter Milan have two years left on their contracts, and if Mourinho leaves early, he will have to pay Inter Milan 16 million euros in liquidated damages, instead of the 9 million euros Mendes said.

Baldano believes that Mourinho has made a great contribution to Inter Milan's treble, and he can completely convince Moratti to release him for free, instead of letting Real Madrid pay the liquidated damages for Mourinho.

Listening to Baldano's endless words, Mendes just smiled slightly and said: "Whether you deserve Real Madrid or not, I think Mourinho knows better than the two of us." ”

Baldano sneered: "Mr. Mendes, Quaresma can't play a team like Inter Milan, is Real Madrid weaker than Inter Milan?"

Mendes smiled, "Mourinho said that Quaresma is strong, it's just that he doesn't fit in with Inter Milan and Serie A. ”

Baldano said: "What about Milito and Di Maria, Milito is 31 years old, I don't think Real Madrid has the need to buy him, we are not a nursing home like Milan, besides, Mr. Mendes, do you really think Di Maria is worth 30 million euros?"

Mendes smiled slightly, "Then do you think last season's Gao Xiaodong was worth 50 million? If Xiaodong is worth it, then Di Maria is worth it." There is also an alternative answer to Milito's question, which is Porto's Falcao, but the price is also 30 million euros. ”

After hearing this, Baldano took the case and said sarcastically: "Mr. Mendes, these are the players of your company, your black shop is really worthy of its reputation, players like Falcao and Di Maria cost 30 million, why don't you rob the bank?"

Mendes still had a calm expression and said to the point: "Manager Baldano, Milito is not from my company, you think old, Di Maria and Falcao you feel young, and you think that I am a fake public servant and deliberately promote the players of my company, is it because you have a conflict with Mourinho, you deliberately make things difficult." ”

Baldano sat down slowly and said: "Mendes, you misunderstood, I have no contradiction with Mu Shuai, when I was choosing a coach, I was not optimistic about Mu Shuai at first, but after Mu Shuai won the treble, I think that the current Real Madrid needs a coach like Mu Shuai, and I will fully support him, but the obviously unreasonable transfer, I must raise my doubts, this is my duty, as long as I am the manager of Real Madrid for a day, I must say these words, including Mu Shuai's liquidated damages." ”

Mendes smiled and said leisurely: " Regarding Mouratti's liquidated damages, we can't guarantee that we will definitely convince President Moratti, because Mourinho did not go back to celebrate, and was ready to poach Gao Xiaodong, which made Moratti very angry, but we will try our best to convince President Moratti that if Moratti's work cannot be done, this liquidated damages will still have to be paid by Real Madrid, because it is President Florentino who wants Mourinho to coach Real Madrid at this time, not us begging to coach Real Madrid, if Mourinho cannot sign the contract because of the liquidated damages, the responsibility is not ours. ”

Mendez was pleasant, but his words were full of threats.

Baldano was angry for a while, and after a while, he said: "Mr. Mendes, I want you to have a good talk with Mu Shuai, Real Madrid is a membership club, and every penny spent must be responsible for the members, if you make an obviously stupid mistake in the transfer, and then pay liquidated damages for Mu Shuai, President Florentino will be under a lot of pressure." ”

Mendes said lightly: "Stupid or not, you can only know if you use it, I don't need to talk to Mu Shuai, this is his request, I just pass on a word." ”

Baldano softened and said: "The issue of transfer, we can discuss it slowly, but Inter's liquidated damages, I hope you can convince President Moratti that this is obviously a sum of money that can be saved, Mr. Mendes, if it is spent, don't you think it will increase the pressure on Mourinho?"

Mendes laughed: "I understand, so I said, we will try to convince President Moratti." ”

Baldano said: "Okay, last season's results were very poor, President Florentino is under a lot of pressure, I hope Mr. Mendes will settle the liquidated damages as soon as possible, and Real Madrid will announce the appointment of Mourinho." ”

Mendes said: "Don't worry, Mu Shuai and I are preparing to go to Milan. ”

Baldano said, "Okay, then I won't delay Mr. Mendes, goodbye." ”

Baldano left Mendes' office, where he paced around and dialed Mourinho's phone.

……

The afternoon of the third day after the Champions League final

The small town of Belsague in the north of Milan

President Moratti met his team's head coach Jose Mourinho and Mendes, the famous agent of the club, in his private residence.

Although Moratti was dissatisfied with Mourinho's disrespect for himself and Inter after the final, Mourinho was after all the coach who helped Inter Milan win the treble to help him realize his dream, and he still gave Mourinho a hug very gentlemanly and invited him and Mendes into the living room.

Moratti's wife, Millie, came over to bring tea and pastries to Mourinho and Mendes, and took her grandson to another room.

Mendes saw the estrangement between Moratti and Mourinho, and was the first to speak: "José is a person who doesn't like to be lively, and it happened that President Florentino invited him that day, so he didn't have time to participate in the celebration, in fact, he is also very sorry." ”

Moratti said lightly: "Mr. Mendes, this is in the past, I still want to thank Jose for helping me realize my dream, without him there would be no Champions League title." ”

Mourinho smiled reluctantly: "Chairman, I am here to say goodbye to you today, I am going to leave Inter Milan, President Florentino invited me to coach Real Madrid." ”

Moratti listened to it and was angry, what did you do after the final, when I was a fool, it was all disclosed to the media, and now you say goodbye to me, if you didn't help Inter Milan win the treble, I wouldn't have seen you.

"You are determined to leave, I will not keep it, I wish you a brilliant record at Real Madrid. Moratti said lightly.

Mendes coughed and said, "Chairman, can the liquidated damages be canceled?" ”

Moratti frowned and said, "I don't know about the liquidated damages?" ”

This is an obvious prevarication, Mourinho and Inter Milan manager Blanca have a conflict, if you really go to Blanca, the liquidated damages will definitely have to be paid.

Mendes decided to say bluntly, "Chairman, it is the liquidated damages of 16 million euros that Jose needs to pay if he terminates the contract early in last year, and I hope you can cancel it." ”

Moratti pretended to be confused and said: "Why cancel?"

Mendes said: "Jose has given his whole life to Inter Milan and has made a great contribution and I hope you can help Mourinho a little bit for his future. ”

Moratti said lightly: "I think it's better to do things according to the contract." ”

Mourinho couldn't help but say: "Chairman, you said that if Inter Milan can win the Champions League, you will let me go for free." ”

Moratti said: "Yes, I said, but I am the chairman, but not the only shareholder, the club is not my sole decision, the second shareholder Tronchetti and others think that you and Mr. Mendes lack the minimum respect for Inter Milan, so they all think that it is better to do things according to the contract." ”

Mendez didn't expect the very gentlemanly Moratti to go back on his word, and said very unhappily: "Chairman, maybe you don't care about verbal promises, but don't forget that Italian law does not allow liquidated damages in the contract." ”

Moratti sneered and said, "Mr. Mendes, if you want to fight a lawsuit with me in Italy, I will accompany you to the end." ”

Moratti has always been known for his gentlemanly demeanor, and he is a kind old man in the eyes of fans and players, and Mendes and Mourinho didn't expect the good old man to become tough all of a sudden, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
