Chapter 1004 Packing Price
The airport in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is small.
When Mendes walked out of the airport with a depressed face, it was easy to see a reception driver holding up a sign with his name written on it outside the gate, but to his embarrassment, he even wrote the name incorrectly.
The Portuguese looked back at the Eastern European airport in frustration and sighed helplessly.
Brother, if you cheat me, I will fight with you!
He walked up to the driver, took the initiative to report his name, and soon got into the reception car and headed for the north of Zagreb.
The airport is in the far south, but Dinamo Zagreb's stadium is in the north, with training bases and offices all around the stadium.
This allowed Mendes to walk through the city of Zagreb and enjoy the alternative scenery of this Eastern European city, but the bumps of the long journey made Mendes uninterested, closed his eyes and recuperated, like a lamb to the slaughter, let the driver carry it, and did not worry about being pitted, all the way to the Maximir Stadium.
He received a call from Gao Han last night and was in a hurry.
On the phone, Gao Han told him that he had his eye on two Dinamo Zagreb players, but it was difficult to show up in person, and that Mendes needed to run for him, and that he had to do it as soon as possible.
"Trust me, these two players are definitely worth the trip. β
In this way, Mendes took the first flight to Munich at 7 o'clock in the morning without any information about the players, without any information about the players.
It was seven o'clock.
For countless people living in Madrid, he has just fallen asleep at seven o'clock, and he has already had to travel a long way.
To make matters worse, there were no direct flights from Madrid to Zagreb, so he had to spend a full hour in Munich and arrive in Zagreb after nearly five hours of tossing.
As long as he thought of tossing again when he went back, his whole person felt that his head was as big as a fight.
But there is no way, who let him just run around and work hard?
Arriving at the Estadio Maximir, Mendes was immediately welcomed into the club's office by the reception staff.
The president of Dinamo Zagreb, Zdlavko Mamic, has already greeted him, and standing next to him is his younger brother Zoran Mamic, the current director of football of Dinamo Zagreb, who has played for Dinamo Zagreb, Bochum, Bayer Leverkusen and other teams, and has been selected for the Croatian national team several times.
Interestingly, the two brothers seem to have an age gap of nearly twenty years.
The brothers run the largest ASA brokerage company in Croatia, and they have no less contact with Mendes, and they dare not slack off on the world's leading brokerage predators, and they are extremely polite when they meet, welcoming Mendes into the office.
After a period of polite greetings, each other quickly got to the point.
"Jorge, don't you know what's going on with your visit this time?" asked Zdravko Mamic, smiling.
Regardless of why Mendes is here, it would be a godsend for both ASA and Dinamo Zagreb to get in touch with one of the world's top agents, who know what Mendes does best is to run South American players.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Mendes was not polite, "I came here this time to talk to you, I have a client who has taken a fancy to your players. β
"Oh?" Zdravko Mamich paused, but there was no surprise on his face, "Who?"
"Mateo Kovacic and Halilovic, two. β
As soon as Mendez's words fell, the Mamickey brothers were a little surprised.
If you want to talk about Kovacic, it is very normal, because many big teams, including Arsenal, have taken a fancy to him, and it is not surprising that Mendes came to the door, but Halilovic is not famous, he has just been promoted to the first team this season, and he is not the main team, even if he wants to be famous, he is not so fast.
Not to mention that it also alarmed Mendes to come out himself, which is kind of interesting.
"Jorge, I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to reveal, which team is it?" Zoran Mamic asked with concern.
Mendes smiled again, "I'm sorry, until I go any further, the most I can say is that my client is from La Liga, and they are very sincere and have enough financial resources to pay for the transfer fees of these two players, and I can guarantee that my client's reputation in European football is definitely the most prominent." β
As a broker, Mendes knows very well that the most reassuring thing about cross-border transactions is often the payment method.
Some clubs that fans are familiar with do have a very poor reputation in terms of buying people, and it is understandable that they are careful when negotiating, but after the talks, they have repeatedly delayed the promises they made, and some even simply relied on them, which is a bit unsightly.
But the agent industry has its own rules, even if some teams are not welcome, they can't be made public, otherwise don't expect to eat in this industry.
For the Mamic brothers, the player's transfer to La Liga is good for them, which can not only bring them a good transfer income, but also make Dinamo Zagreb famous in Croatia and neighboring countries, and Mendes personally endorses it, which shows that the opposing club is trustworthy.
In La Liga, there are not many clubs that can have a good reputation.
Barcelona is good, after all, it is a big team, Real Madrid was bad under CalderΓ³n, but it was good under Florentino, Atletico Madrid was good, Valencia and Sevilla were okay.
Oh, and by the way, there is Chinatown, the reputation of this team is not only in La Liga, but also the top in European football.
"OK, Jorge, if you say that, then we don't have anything to worry about. Zdravko Mamic laughed, "I'm not telling you, there are a lot of teams interested in Mateo Kovacic at the moment, you know it well. β
'I know, Arsenal, Inter, Bayern Munich, Chelsea...... A lot. β
The Mamicchi brothers secretly glanced at each other again, and couldn't help but be a little more impressed by Mendes.
In the end, he is the world's top agent, and his reputation is well deserved, at least this intelligence skill is also a must.
"Okay, since that's the case, then it's easy to say, you know the operation of our club, players, we are definitely going to sell, but I don't know what kind of price the club entrusted with you can offer?"
The Mamicchi brothers stared at Mendez as they waited for him to make an offer.
"Ten million euros. Mendes replied solemnly.
The two Mamici brothers frowned and looked at each other, and Zoran Mamic asked, "Is this Kovacic's offer?"
"No, two players in a package. Mendes replied.
"It can't be. Zdravko Mamic shook his head without hesitation, "Kovacic is worth the price now, isn't Halilovic giving it away for free?"
Listening to their tones, the two players looked to them like cabbage on a vegetable market stall.
If Gao Han comes, it is estimated that it will be a little uncomfortable, but Mendes has long been used to it, and this is the trade transfer of players.
"I know what I'm talking about, but what I'm talking about is 10 million euros......" Mendes paused and looked directly at the Mamici brothers, "...... It's cash, a one-time payment. β
The Mamicchi brothers were immediately moved.
This is indeed quite an attractive price, not high, but attractive.
When it comes to transfers, many ordinary fans often only care about the level of the transfer fee, but they don't know that the payment method is also extremely important, the same is 10 million euros, paid in one lump sum and paid in three years, which are two completely different prices, not to mention that some clubs run out and directly rely on the final payment.
According to the general transfer method in European football, the general transfer is paid in installments within two or three years, and only special teams like Chinatown are eligible to require buyers to pay the balance within one year, and in the last two or three years, Chinatown buyers are basically giving cash and trying to negotiate the total price.
"If I'm not mistaken, Jorge, you should have been entrusted with Chinatown, right?" Zdravko Mamic suddenly realized that only the cold Chinatown could convince Mendez to come to the door in person.
And last night, at the Maximir Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain led by Gao Han had just defeated Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 away.
"It's not about Gao Han, it's Cantarero's commission. Mendez explained.
If it is known that it is hand-picked by Gao Han, then the value of any player will skyrocket.
The Mamici brothers can't tell whether Mendes's words are true or false, because there are indeed many teams that are interested in Kovacic, and it is not surprising that Chinatown is interested, not to mention that this offer is indeed very tempting.
"Don't be in a hurry to make a statement, Chinatown is conditional. β
"Conditions?" the Mamickey brothers were taken aback again.
They found that facing Mendes really made them a little overwhelmed.
"Chinatown have looked at Mateo Kovacic and Halilovic, both of whom are still young and are leaving Dinamo Zagreb now, which is undoubtedly not the right time, and they hope that they will be able to continue to play at Dinamo Zagreb on loan after the transfer. β
"This period may be two years or three years, and all the salaries will be borne by Chinatown, but Dinamo Zagreb must ensure that the players have the opportunity to play in the game, as well as provide the players with the best protection measures possible, and Chinatown will arrange personnel to follow up on the players' situation at any time, and will invite them to participate in the training camp in Chinatown at the appropriate time. β
It's a new partnership, but it's no surprise that some big clubs, such as Manchester United, operate this way.
The difference is that Manchester United generally work with satellite clubs.
"Jorge, you should know the rules, we ......"
Before Zoran Mamicch could finish speaking, Mendes waved his hand and smiled.
"Of course, Chinatown will not let you suffer, in addition to the salary of the players, they will also pay Dinamo Zagreb an additional training fee every year, according to the development and improvement of the players, as well as other assessments, including injuries and other aspects, the total cost will reach 5 million euros. β
The Mamic brothers looked at each other again, probing each other's opinions, a new but attractive way for them to work together, given that Mateo Kovacic is the team's most competitive player at the moment.
If they work together in the same way as Chinatown, they can still use the player after they sell it, and not only will they get a training fee every year, which may be insignificant for Chinatown, but it is attractive to Dinamo Zagreb.
They are a team that survives on millions of euros a year in Champions League appearances, and the income of five million euros in three years will definitely make them happy, not to mention that for them, this cooperation has little impact on the current situation of the team.
As for Chinatown, Gao Han prefers to see Kovacic and Halilovic maintain their current development momentum, continue to grow and improve, and after two or three years, when they are mature and stable, it will be more appropriate to transfer to Chinatown.
After all, Chinatown is also full of talents, and Kovacic went.
