Chapter 242: Yang Fan's worth
Real Madrid received a reply from Manchester United, who refused to sell Yang Fan.
As with the result after the first offer, United replied: no.
However, Real Madrid found a problem, and this time it was their American boss who replied to them, and the answer was quite interesting.
"Yang Fan is not for sale at Manchester United and we will not agree to him leaving Old Trafford! β
Well, Real Madrid quickly grasped the most important word in this answer, which is the last half of the sentence: Yang Fan's value is not 85 million euros to be able to express XiΓ n.
What does this mean? Manchester United may refuse again, but their hearts have been shaken.
"What do you think?" Florentino asked the others.
"Manchester United have been tempted, and although the price may not be satisfactory to them, it has certainly made them tempted. Baldano was not in favour of the acquisition, but as the club's general manager, he had to do his job, and his analysis was extremely accurate: "I even have a feeling that 85 million euros is close to the psychological price of the Americans, and we only need to add a little more money to make them nod." β
"Why do you say that?"
"They are short of money. Baldano took out a copy of the text, 'This is me' As we all know, the Glazer family bought Manchester United in debt, and now, they need to repay 50 million pounds a year with interest alone, which is a heavy burden, and this is only interest, and there is still principal to be repaid, and in the second half of last year, the Glazer family's investment in the United States seems to be in trouble, and their capital chain is in trouble, so, as I said earlier, they are short of money! And that's one of the reasons why United agreed to let Cristiano Ronaldo go this summer last year. β
Florentino was still satisfied with Baldano, he nodded, "It seems that this super 'shooter' from mysterious China is getting closer and closer to the Bernabeu." β
When he said this, the president of Real Madrid was heroic in his chest, and he even had some "agitation", which was even more "excited" than when he built the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, there is no doubt that if Yang Fan can join Real Madrid, then, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Yang Fan, these three people will be the craziest offensive line in the history of football! Even the combination of Ronaldo, Zidane and Figo and Raul is probably a little inferior.
"Raise the offer to Manchester United again. Florentino said.
"I think it's okay to raise it a little bit. "It also gives Manchester United a psychological hint that this is our final offer." We're not going to raise the price too much. β
"It's your job. "I want results." β

Carrington Training was no different on this day.
In the administration building of the training base, Manchester United's co-executive presidents, Avram Glazer and Joel Glazer, sit in their offices, with two more people in the room: Manchester United CEO Gil and the team's manager David Moyes.
"Real Madrid have raised their offer. Avram Glazer said, "Look at it. β
Moyes's heart tightened, he had thought that the matter had ended here in the last meeting, but he did not expect that in less than twenty-four hours, he would start discussing the matter again in this conference room.
"88 million euros. Gill read out the numbers on the offer, which he knew before, and that's around Β£75 million. This offer is definitely sky-high, you know, Cristiano Ronaldo's first value in football history is 80 million pounds, and Real Madrid's offer for Yang Fan is only 5 million pounds more than Cristiano Ronald. If the offer goes through, it would be the second highest price ever paid in football.
"They raised three million euros. Joel Glazer said, "What did Real Madrid say?" and asked the team's club's chief executive, Gil.
'I met with Zinedine Zidane. Jill said, hearing this, Moyes turned his head to look at him, Jill shook his head in his heart, he knew Moyes's thoughts, Moyes firmly opposed the team's sale of Yang Fan, from the head coach's point of view, this is no problem, but Jill knew or guessed that the American owner has already made up his mind to sell Yang Fan and cash out Yang Fan. David Moyes is almost impossible to stop on his own, and if there is one person who can stop it, it is Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United. It's a pity that the godfather has gone into hiding, and it is precisely because of this that the American boss dares to have the idea of selling Yang Fan.
"Zizu told me that this is Real Madrid's last offer. They won't raise the offer anymore. Jill said.
"What do you think?"
"I think it should be so, after all, Real Madrid has 'spent' too much money this summer, and their financial pressure is not small, and I understand that at the same time as they are buying Yang Fan, they are also seeking to buy Liverpool's Spanish midfielder Alonso, according to my estimates, Alonso's value is around 40 million euros, which is also a lot of money. "There is disagreement within Real Madrid about bringing in Yang Fan, with manager Manuel Pellegrini and general manager Baldano not supporting the introduction of Yang Fan, and they believe that they should focus on getting Alonso first. And once Alonso joins Real Madrid first, it is difficult to say whether they have the funds to bring in Yang Fan. β
In fact, Gil is supportive of the sale of Yang Fan, and the CEO of the club thinks differently from the manager, he is responsible for bringing income and benefits to Manchester United, and he wants to make a profit! There is no doubt that creating a football super transfer will greatly alleviate Manchester United's poor financial debt.
However, Gil didn't know that the news he got from Real Madrid was half-true, it was really their general manager Baldano and head coach Pellegrini who were not very in favor of the introduction of Yang Fan, and the fake thing was that Real Madrid never had the so-called Alonso and Yang Fan to choose one of them, and the introduction of the other one may encounter difficulties of insufficient funds - in fact, Real Madrid has a great appetite and arrogance this time, and they want to win them all.

"Tell me about your attitude. Joel Glazer said.
'We have to avoid Kaka from happening to Manchester United. Jill said.
Although Real Madrid 'spent' 65 million euros to introduce Kaka, this was the second highest value in the history of football before Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, which was enough to shock the football world.
However, in the eyes of super managers such as Jill, Milan's 'deal' is still a loss.
You know, last winter, Manchester City had to 'spend' more than 100 million euros to buy Kaka, and Milan was ready to nod at that time, but because Kaka didn't look down on Manchester City, this 'deal' fell through. Before that, Chelsea had asked to buy Kaka, according to the information that Gil had, when Chelsea's bid reached 76 million euros at its peak, but Milan hesitated, and finally the transfer 'deal' fell through.
It was not sold when it was more than 100 million euros, and it was not sold when it was 76 million euros, but now when it is 65 million euros, it finally chooses to sell the card, and Milan has made at least 10 million to 30 million euros less!
Why did Milan agree to sell Kaka for 65 million?
In fact, a few days ago, Milan vice president Galliani explained in detail in an interview with Italian media why they had to sell Kaka: selling Kaka had to be a last resort.
Galliani said the sale of Kaka was a last resort because Milan's 2008 financial statements showed that the club's current deficit was already high at 66.8 million euros, "We can't tolerate a loss of 70 million euros." The only reason for selling cards is financial problems. Real Madrid have almost twice as much turnover as we do, they own the Santiago Bernabeu and they don't have to split the TV broadcast costs with other teams. Moreover, Spain's tax system is also in their favor, which allows them to offer players a more generous annual salary. The club spends β¬2 million on players, while in Italy players can earn β¬1 million, while in Spain it is β¬1.5 million. I'm tired of saying that our fundamental problem is economic. Serie A has lost its competitiveness and after losing to La Liga and the Premier League, we need to find a way to avoid being overtaken by other leagues. β
How much will the sale of Kaka cost Milan?, Galliani explained, "We'll think about it. I hope the fans will understand the situation. Milan in the Berlusconi era has gone through 4 cycles: the Sacchi era, the Capello era, the Zaccheroni and Trim era and the Ancelotti era. Now, we will begin the fifth cycle. β
Although Galliani said that he was full of pride, as if Milan was going to start the construction of a new dynasty, what everyone saw was that Milan made a lot less money than expected on this 'deal' in Kaka.
At present, the agreed situation has happened to Manchester United, Real Madrid wants to buy Yang Fan, and now the offer has reached 88 million euros!
Will United accept or reject the offer?
If you accept it, then you can negotiate with Real Madrid and make official contacts.
If he refuses, then there is a question now, 88 million euros, is this price the highest price that Yang Fan can sell? If he refuses, will he lose a lot of money at a lower price like Kaka is to Milan in the future.
"I'll give you my opinion. "88 million euros, although this is 6 million euros less than Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer value of 94 million euros, but this should be the highest price that Yang Fan can sell." This is not to say that he is not worth as much as Cristiano Ronaldo, but because, at the moment, Real Madrid can only afford to pay so much, and in fact, no one but Real Madrid can afford to pay that price. β
"What about Manchester City?" said Avram Glazer.
Gil knows that Mr. Chairman is fantasizing about selling Yang Fan to Manchester City, because everyone on earth knows that the Arab oil tycoon is not bad for money, and he sells it to Manchester City? Gil also wants to ah, because he can imagine that if Manchester City really wants to take Yang Fan, money is not a problem, and it is bound to set a new transfer record, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's 94 million euros is not a problem at all. Arabs are not bad for money, in order to get a star of Yang Fan's level, they are willing to spend money, willing to spend money crazy.
It's just that Gil knows that Yang Fan will not agree to go to Manchester City, just like Kaka rejected Manchester City last winter, they don't look down on this team.
I can't look down on Manchester City, but there are no such problems in Real Madrid, Real Madrid has money, and Real Madrid's attraction to stars is not to mention, you must know that Zidane said a classic sentence at the beginning, no one can refuse Real Madrid's invitation!
Now, Kaka has not turned down Real Madrid's invitation.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been making noise about going to Real Madrid, and now his dream has finally come true. Therefore, Gil also believes that if Manchester United sells Yang Fan to Real Madrid to cash out, the player himself should not object, this is the best of both worlds.

'The player won't agree to go to Manchester City. Jill shook her head and said.
"Oh well. Avram Glazer sighed regretfully, as if lamenting that the large sum of money had passed him by.
"Then now if we put to a vote. Joel Glazer said, "Of the four people on the scene, three agreed to sell Yang Fan?"
Indeed, there were four people on the scene, two members of the Glazer family, and Manchester United CEO Gil, who was in favor of selling Yang Fan for a profit, and the only opponent was the team's head coach David Moyes.
Moyes is cool in his heart, and at the same time angry in his chest, he is not stupid, he has understood the current situation, the club has made the decision to sell Yang Fan, without the nod of him as the head coach, the club's senior management has actually decided to sell the team's number one star and flag!!
However, although he understands the current situation, Moyes is helpless in addition to anger, which is just like the reason why the Glazer family agreed to Moyes to coach in the first place, this person has not won any championship titles, has no qualifications, and is easy to manage.
"I need to think about it. After a moment's hesitation, Moyes gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay. "Adjourn for half an hour, and after half an hour I hope we can reach a consensus." Although he could ignore Moyes as a manager, he still chose to agree to Moyes's request, after all, he can't go too far.
Just when Manchester United was discussing Real Madrid's offer, in fact, at this moment, in the global media, the news of Real Madrid's 88 million euro bid for Yang Fan has been flying all over the sky, which is the news released by Real Madrid. They are deliberately hyped.
This immediately caused a stir throughout the football world.
The Chinese media were even more shocked and crazy about the news.
If 88 million euros is just a digital concept for the majority of football 'fans', the media has compiled a series of examples that can be compared for football 'fans' to help everyone see what Real Madrid can do with the money to buy Yang Fan:
1. Manchester United's latest shirt 'chest' advertisement, with a contract of 4 years and a value of 1. $300 million. The sale of Yang Fan's business is equivalent to making Manchester United's jersey sell advertising on the 'chest' and back of the shirt in the past four years.
Second, in the world of professional football, the price of nearly 100 million euros can buy Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Malaga in La Liga, Jerez team with great hope of promotion to La Liga, and Numancia team just relegated to La Liga. In the basketball circle, with this money, anyone can 'sexually' buy the 5 best teams under the International Amateur Basketball Federation, including Real Madrid and Barcelona men's basketball team.
3. In this world, not only football players are eating green 'spring' dinner, but Giselle Bundchen, the former 'girlfriend' of alien Ronaldo and the current 'girlfriend' of movie star Leonardo, is the highest-paid supermodel in history, and her annual salary is about 50 million yuan. Yang Fan's worth is equal to letting her fight for 18 years of youth 'spring'. If only her youth could be that long......
Fourth, a senior entertainment reporter said: The appearance fee of a first-line star in the mainland is about 300,000 yuan; Andy Lau is about 1 million, and 900 million yuan can make Andy Lau sing 900 consecutive performances; Benshan Media is the most profitable theater troupe in China's commercial performances, with an annual income of 58 million yuan. 900 million yuan, Benshan Media is enough to perform for 15 years.
5. Angelina Jolie's blockbuster "Tomb Raider" set a box office record in North America that year was 1. $3.1 billion. Forget "Tomb Raider", in fact, with such a sum of money, anyone can invite the seven 'flowers' of Hollywood - Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, BeyoncΓ©, Jodie Foster and Charlize Theron to participate in the same movie at the same time.
6. According to the Forbes Chinese version of the "2009 China Celebrity List" released in March 2009, Yang Fan's worth is equivalent to Yao Ming's income for three years and Zhang Yimou's income for 90 years.
7. There is a super mansion in the southwest suburbs of London. It has been called "the most important 'private' house built in England after the 19th century" and has a asking price of 1. $300 million, topped the Forbes real estate rankings. This "world's most expensive" 'private' house is equipped with high-tech program-controlled equipment, an emergency shelter, a heated marble driveway, and a helipad. If this money is 'spent' in Madrid, it is possible to buy 50 luxury lofts located in the heart of the city.
8. Seven-star hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The most luxurious and expensive Presidential Suite, with an area of 780 square meters. The price per day is $18,000. The Presidential Suite is on the 25th floor and is gold-plated with a cinema, two bedrooms, two living rooms, a dining room and a dedicated elevator. 1γ $300 million, you can live there for 20 years if you want.
9. With this exorbitant transfer fee, you can buy 4 picturesque islands in Borneo (half of Malaysia and half of Indonesia) and their nearby beaches, each of which is 35 acres in size.
10. According to the calculations of the Spanish media, if Florentino donates Yang Fan's transfer fee to the Spanish treasury, he can bear all the expenses of the Spanish royal family in 10 years.
11. Yang Fan's worth is enough for you to pay for a round-trip trip to the moon, and if you 'spend' 70 million euros to take a Russian spacecraft to the moon and back to Earth, you will have 30 million euros left in your wallet......
12. A luxurious wedding in Spain is worth 2. For 40,000 euros, the transfer fee of Chinese superstar Yang Fan can allow you to 'operate' 4,170 weddings of this caliber in the same day...... Needless to say, Yang Fan's transfer itself is the most luxurious wedding in the history of international football.
13. Crazy Madrid Radio also mentions household items, and Yang Fan's worth can be used to buy 1. 2.5 billion rolls of toilet paper, enough to cover an entire district of a large city.
In a word, this money is a sky-high price that many people, and even many rich people can't think of, but now, this will probably become the value of Yang Fan's transfer from one club to another!
Shocking value. At this time, there are still media holding grievances for Yang Fan, and Real Madrid paid 6 million euros more for Yang Fan than Cristiano Ronald. They think this is a downtime for Yang Fan's value, Yang Fan's worth is higher than that of the Portuguese, right!"88 million euros? Is this what Yang Fan is worth?" -- the newspaper used the headline with a question mark on the front page.
