Chapter 728: The Intentions of Manchester United's American Boss
Now, the whole of football, the whole of Real Madrid, is in shock and madness over Florentino's Galaxy Battleship II. To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to ()
Florentino has attracted the attention of the world with a gesture of returning as a king.
When he stepped down as Real Madrid's presidency in the winter of 2006, Florentino's main aim was to revive the business of his back-office company, ACS Group, although he had already anticipated that he would one day be invited back to Real Madrid, because the Bernabeu could no longer accept other incompetents after his lavish cooking.
Sure enough, Real Madrid's Champions League fiasco, the ball 'fan' public opinion shouted, and he was promoted to the position of "savior". El País' commentator Marty's view is very representative: "After missing the quarterfinals of the Champions League for five years, the team must undergo major surgery, a complete revolution from top to bottom". And it is clear that Florentino is the revolutionary they are referring to.
Of course, the revolutionary Florentino can't just talk like Calderon, and at the beginning of his tenure, he signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka as the first shot of his comeback, causing a sensation in the football world.
The superstar 'door' plaque is still hanging high at the Verdin's Bernabeu, with "the superstar drives the club's competitive and economic leverage indicators, and then drives the improvement of its own commercial value and income, and obtains a real win-win situation", Florentino has never doubted his concept of Real Madrid as a company and a business. The "Zidanegavon" policy has been criticized by countless people, but looking back after so many years, Calderon has been repeatedly argued as a failed competitive theme, and it is not as extreme as the team-building strategy of the year.
At a time when Abou began to tighten his silver bag, Silvio Berlusconi was keen on 'sex' rather than team building, Moratti was entangled between Mourinho and Ibrahimovic, and La 'Bo'erta was vacillating for Eto'o's departure, Florentino set off the most terrifying 'wave' in the football world in eight years, regrouping the three-year-old galactic fleet with greater nuclear power and influence. As an admirer of the legendary Bernabeu, Freund has always made it his mission to clone a Real Madrid team that rivals the myth of five consecutive Champions League wins, which is his ultimate ambition.
Spain's unemployment population is close to 1/5 of the total number of citizens, and the courage to spend 159 million euros to buy two stars in such an economic environment is not extraordinarily bold and cannot be done. In addition to Manchester City, which has a bottomless money bag, only Real Madrid, which has an annual budget of 400 million, the world's largest revenue capacity, and is not a 'private' possession, can do it, and this qiē is also the condition for Lafayette to create a zào for Real Madrid. Big-budget operations are bound to be accompanied by controversy and saliva, but these are all in the calculation of the Real Madrid president, who firmly believes that the people who waited in front of the TV to admire Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka in the past will not change because of the transfer, and these people will come to the Bernabeu with their favorite stars and become Real Madrid fans.
In Florentino's view, the two investments of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo are the right ones, even necessary. In order to overwhelm the mature Barcelona and Manchester United and other opponents of the same level, it is difficult to win with ordinary skills, and only by signing superstars and making good use of the multiplier effect brought by them can Real Madrid quickly restore its status and winning background, and once again become the focus of international football and even the press.
Among other things, the Financial Times, the New York Times, and even the CCTV news network in the far east are all reporting and discussing Real Madrid, which has achieved Florentino's goal. Such a star is beginning to become Real Madrid's label: "A player who can be discussed every day by the prime minister, artists, professors and even ministers has an indescribable role in expanding Real Madrid's influence." ”

After the 'chaos' and 'chaos' situation in the Calderón era, Real Madrid's football 'fans' re-chose Florentino, and the "As" newspaper bluntly said that Florentino is the last big man in this area, "Florentino is also the only person worthy of the position of Real Madrid's president, how many superstars and trophies he brought to the Bernabeu, and only he can bring Real Madrid back to the status of the world's number one club." ”
However, even the most dreaming person did not expect that Florentino would actually be in such a big game of chess, after getting Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid for the first transfer fee in football history of 94 million euros, he actually poached from Manchester United again, this time, the target of the president of Real Madrid is Yang Fan!
Previously, when Real Madrid and Manchester United made contact, it was still hidden. However, after their first €80 million offer was rejected by Manchester United manager David Moyes, Real Madrid began to change tactics.
Florentino instructed Real Madrid to raise the offer, raising the offer to 85 million euros, and also used Real Madrid's connections in the football circle and the media to begin to hype Real Madrid's pursuit of Yang Fan.
Immediately, the whole football world was shocked.
All the people who were attracted by the shocking player exchange between Inter Milan and Barcelona came back to their senses and looked at Real Madrid in horror to find Real Madrid's crazy move.
"This is the second offer from Real Madrid to Manchester United, just a day ago, they had already made their first offer of 80 million euros to Manchester United, and after being rejected, the second offer reached 85 million euros! The key question now is: Will Manchester United sell Cristiano Ronaldo and give Yang Fan away again?"
※※※※※※※
Yang Fan, who was still in China, was lying on the sofa waiting for lunch boredly, Yang Fan's mother was busy in the kitchen, and the smell of 'tempting' food wafted in, and she couldn't help drooling when she took a deep breath.
Yang Fan was taken aback, he was taken aback by the newspaper report.
Almost all of the most prominent pages in today's newspapers have news about him, all of which are related to Real Madrid's bid to buy him.
"Sports Weekly" even quoted the Spanish newspaper "Marca" as saying that Real Madrid President Florentino has made up his mind to bring Yang Fan to the Bernabeu, and even his special adviser Zidane has contacted Yang Fan, and Yang Fan himself has expressed his expectation of playing in Real Madrid......
It's paralyzed. After Yang Fan was startled, he began to curse, when did he have contact with Zidane? When did he express his admiration for Real Madrid? Isn't this a rumor?!
Even the "Ball", which has a good relationship with Yang Fan, reported on the front page that Florentino is determined to build the most luxurious offensive line in the history of football, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Yang Fan form Chen's offensive trident, which is the ultimate dream of Mr. Real Madrid's president. For this reason, Florentino has decided to get Manchester United to agree to release him at any cost......
"Ball Daily" even analyzed the benefits of Yang Fan going to Real Madrid for the sake of Yang Fan, La Liga's taxes are very low, in this way, Real Madrid may give Yang Fan a higher annual salary after tax, which will make Yang Fan's income increase significantly compared to when he was at Manchester United, although Yang Fan's salary in Manchester United is also very high, but no one will be disgusted with making more money. In addition, Real Madrid's influence and market development ability are better than Manchester United, in Real Madrid, Yang Fan even if he only gets half of the portrait rights like Cristiano Ronaldo, then he can also gain a lot from his image rights income, Yang Fan has no reason to refuse Real Madrid's invitation, you know, Zidane has a classic saying: no one can refuse Real Madrid's invitation!
"The second phase of Florentino's Galaxy Battleship will be a very vast and spectacular project, which will be the craziest luxury division in the history of football, as the most powerful 'shooter' in today's football, Yang Fan should obviously be among them, and become a key member!"
The Chinese media cheered, and in their reporting, it seemed that Yang Fan was already making his strides towards Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium.
This is not to say that most of them are Real Madrid football 'fans' or how much they like Real Madrid, just because, thinking that if Yang Fan transfers and creates one of the best values in football, this will make almost the vast majority of Chinese football 'fans' and the media excited, which will make them even more proud! In the eyes of many people, the transfer value of a player is the most direct reaction to whether a player is powerful or not, and for some 'pseudo-ball' fans'' They don't even understand the meaning of the Champions League championship trophy, and they are not interested in Yang Fan's legend of playing for Manchester United, they will only be moved by Yang Fan's transfer to other teams and the crazy transfer fee, for the vast majority of people, the crazy number is the most intuitive, suffocating, and 'exciting' sky-high number.
※※※※※※※
Yang Fan immediately called his agent Baker and asked him what was going on.
Titz laughed out loud when he answered the phone, and he could tell he was happy. Baker is of course happy, how glad he is now that he decided to sign the unknown Yang Fan in Newcastle, and now, Yang Fan has become one of the few superstars in football! Take Real Madrid's purchase of Yang Fan this time, not to mention Baker's attitude towards this matter, just Real Madrid's first offer of 80 million euros and the second offer of 85 million euros have clearly shown Yang Fan's influence and strength to everyone! This offer alone is already the second most valuable in the history of football, after Cristiano Ronaldo's 94 million euros. Of course, Baker will not think that Yang Fan is worse than Cristiano Ronaldo, he believes that if Yang Fan really transfers, it will be a crazy price and will become the first value in world football. This is the highest glory that an agent can look forward to, and his star has set the first value in football, which makes people 'excited' just thinking about it.
Therefore, objectively speaking, it is impossible for Baker not to be moved by Yang Fan's transfer to set a new transfer record. Of course, he is just tempted, and will not encourage Yang Fan to transfer because of this, he must consider Yang Fan's more practical interests and Yang Fan's feelings, now in the relationship with Yang Fan, the agent Baker has become a secondary part, he must do his best to maintain Yang Fan's courtesy, to ensure Yang Fan's continued success!
Baker told Yang Fan that Real Madrid was indeed seeking him, and that the second offer of 85 million euros was true, and Manchester United had rejected Real Madrid's first offer of 80 million euros, and Manchester United had not yet responded to the 85 million euro offer.
Baker asked Yang Fan to enjoy the holiday with peace of mind, don't worry about anything, just wait and see what happens, whether it is really a transfer, or stay at Manchester United, he will tell Yang Fan as soon as possible, anyway, Yang Fan will nod himself in the end.
"Hey, when did I say I was going to transfer?" Yang Fan said with a smile. He really doesn't want to transfer, in the first season of Manchester United, he won a qiē, became the core and banner of the team, especially now that Cristiano Ronaldo has gone to Real Madrid, he is Manchester United's well-deserved number one star, to be able to become the banner of Manchester United's giant', which has a great attraction for Yang Fan, he is eager to achieve a legend here.
"I understand, I understand. Baker said, "I'll keep you informed as soon as there's anything new." By the way, have you seen the email I sent to you? That's the business endorsement I just talked about and am negotiating, you can take a moment to read it and reply to me as much as possible. ”
Yang Fan complained that he couldn't be idle if he took a vacation, which attracted Baker's disdain and complaints, if he was heard by others, he would be beaten, which endorsement contract is not calculated in the basic unit of more than one million euros, and two or three endorsement contracts mean that Yang Fan has tens of millions of euros to enter, just complaining, I really forgot about the poor days......

Football 'fans' all over Europe, and around the world, are looking at Manchester United, at Carrington's training base.
According to media reports, Manchester United's new manager David Moyes is very firm in Real Madrid's 85 million euro bid for Yang Fan, that is, he refuses, and he cannot accept the departure of the team's flag star.
Manchester United's American owners seem to be hesitant, and it is clear that they are tempted by Real Madrid's offer. You know, the Glazer family bought Manchester United in debt, and now the annual interest repayment alone is as high as 50 million pounds, which is a heavy burden for the Glazer family, which is not wealthy, and the 80 million pounds obtained from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo has undoubtedly eased their financial pressure in a certain way, but this 80 million pounds of income is not net income, after all, Manchester United is still in the transfer market. Spending money, in such a situation, Real Madrid's bid for Yang Fan's 72.5 million pounds, which is 85 million euros, made the Glazer family's eyes immediately glow green......
For British football fans, football is a religion and a belief, a way of life. Old Trafford is the church and holy place of Manchester United football fans. However, times have changed, and United are not what they used to be. When the Glazer family took over Manchester United in 2005, they completely changed the living environment of the "Red Devils", and they saw Manchester United as a business whose primary purpose was to make money.
Football 'fans' may compare the current record to the previous one, but for the Glazer family, the championship is important, but it is impossible to ignore the cost for the championship, and the club's profitability is the primary goal. They even have a bottom line internally, which is that as long as United qualify for next season's Champions League and reach the quarter-finals of that season's Champions League, this is already an acceptable result.
In fact, Arsenal have provided a very good model for Manchester United. Arsenal, which is also controlled by the American owner, has not won the championship for many years, but it can make a profit every year, with a good 'sex' cycle, a small wealth is safe, and even if the football 'fans' are dissatisfied, it can't change the club's business philosophy.
Even the Glazer family's agreement to Alex Moyes, recommended by Alex Ferguson, to take charge of Manchester United is motivated by this mentality. Moyes has never managed a major club and has never won a title, but he was offered a six-year contract. From a business point of view, Moyes is better managed than Ferguson.
Now, though, the American boss is a little unhappy as they find that David Moyes doesn't seem to be as manageable as they expected and imagined, and the United head coach is adamantly opposed to selling Yang Fan.
※※※※※※※
"Manchester United will never sell Yang Fan again after selling Cristiano Ronaldo!Yang Fan is our flag star, he is the present and future of the team, he is the most 'colorful' striker on the planet, this is not something money can buy!" Although the previous call with Yang Fan was not pleasant, Moyes was very sensible, he knew very well what Yang Fan meant to Manchester United, and he was trying his best to persuade him. Because he noticed that the American boss really seemed to have the idea of selling Yang Fan, and in the face of Real Madrid's offer, the American boss was obviously hesitating.
"Besides, the offer of 85 million euros wants to buy Yang Fan, which is simply impossible. Moyes shouted, "Real Madrid are dreaming. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Manchester United Club President, who had been frowning and thinking, had a light in his eyes, smiled, and then nodded and said, "Sue Real Madrid, we don't accept their offer." ”
Moyes breathed a sigh of relief, believing that he had persuaded the American bosses to dispel the idea of cashing out Yang Fan. He didn't notice that what the American boss was saying was, 'We don't accept this offer'!
It's this offer, so what about the next one?!
An offer of 85 million euros can be refused, so what if Real Madrid continues to increase the price?!!!!
