Bincheng Wonder Group Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

"Chairman, Fengquan's team of brokers has just sent a message saying that they are willing to accept our proposal to acquire shares. At the same time, we also hope that we will be able to name the football school while acquiring 50% of the shares. ”

After a pause, Assistant Song continued to report: "However, Feng Quan himself has also put forward a condition for the 'right of first refusal' clause we proposed. ”

Weng Xuelin frowned slightly: "I gave him so much money, can I buy a few young players from his football school and still want to sit on the ground and start the price?" ”

"You misunderstood the chairman, Feng Quan's conditions have nothing to do with money. He just hopes that if a young player is favored by a club in Europe's top five leagues in the future, we will not prevent young players from playing abroad. ”

Hearing this, Weng Xuelin, who was already a little angry on his face, suddenly had a faint smile on his face.

"This kid is really interesting. In that case, you tell Feng Quan that I agree to the conditions he proposed, and we will invest 50 million to name the football school for another five years. ”

In fact, the reason why Weng Xuelin is so "generous" has another plan.

As a pioneer in the real estate industry, Wonder Group has long been familiar with the construction business, so the construction project of Fengquan's football school will naturally not be left behind by other companies.

As a result, a large part of the more than 600 million yuan invested by Wonder Group, as well as the interest-free loan funds obtained by Fengquan itself from the bank, will flow back into the account of Wonder Group. Therefore, on the surface, it seems that Wonder Group has invested 650 million yuan in Fengquan's football school, but in fact, if the actual construction cost of the football school is removed, they can not only "recover" the investment of 650 million, but even have the possibility of making a profit.

As a result, when the location of the football school has been determined, Wonder Group quickly completed the contract with Fengquan, and they will also undertake all construction projects except for laying training grounds.

…………

Having already promised Diego Simeone at least €30 million in transfer funds during the winter transfer window, Paulo Fortre has once again discussed the idea of Wonder Group to buy a stake in the club after convincing the club's president, Enrique Serezo.

Although Atletico Madrid is in dire need of Wonder Group funds to strengthen its squad during the winter transfer period, in order to "squeeze" as much money as possible, Enrique Cerezo has asked Paulo Fortre to receive at least 60 million euros from the Wonder Group, and the club can sell no more than 25% of its shares.

As a result, Paul Fortrey's first "offer" to the Wonder Group was 100 million euros for a 20% stake.

If it had been placed half a month ago, perhaps the Wonder Group might have really agreed to Paul Forley's offer. However, after buying a 50% stake in the football school from Feng Quan, Wonder Group is more confident when negotiating with Atletico Madrid. After all, even if the deal doesn't come to fruition, the cooperation with Fengquan has already created a huge social impact for Wonder Group.

Therefore, the well-known Wonder Group did not hesitate to reject the conditions offered by Atletico Madrid, and made the latest offer of 70 million euros to buy 30% of the shares.

After negotiations between the two parties, Wonder Group finally invested 65 million euros to buy a 25% stake in Atletico Madrid. After the completion of the acquisition, Wonder Group will also send someone to the board of directors of Atletico Madrid, which is also the first time that a Chinese company has invested in a top European football club.

Espino training base, first team manager's office.

After watching the two scouting reports and the match video sent by Gerardo Guzmán, Diego Simeone's face suddenly appeared with joy.

Although Paul Fortre has promised to provide himself with no less than 30 million euros to improve the squad during the winter transfer period. But how to "spend this money on the cutting edge" has been bothering Diego Simeone for a week.

Although Diego Costa will not leave the team in the upcoming winter transfer window, there is a high probability that Atletico Madrid will sell him next summer for a huge transfer fee.

Therefore, in addition to improving the overall strength of the team, the main purpose of the recruitment work in the winter transfer period is to find a reliable replacement for the departure of Diego Costa.

Theoretically, if Diego Costa leaves, the team's preferred target should be a strong and goal-catching striker with excellent headers.

However, under Diego Simeone's tactical system, the forward center forward who is the team's arrow must have a certain amount of speed in addition to being physically strong and having excellent heading ability. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a midfielder who lacks speed to really fit into the team's tactical system when the team is on a quick counter-attack.

As a result, Griezmann, who has been in excellent form since the start of the season, has become Diego Simeone's top target in the winter transfer window. Although Griezmann, who is only 1.76m tall, does not fall into the category of a "strong striker", the versatile and fast French striker can play all positions in the forward line like Diego Costa.

Originally, Diego Simeone did not have much hope of bringing in Griezmann in the winter transfer window, after all, the French striker's Real Sociedad team is also competing in the Champions League this season.

However, Real Sociedad, who suffered an embarrassing three-game losing streak in the first three group stages of the Champions League and scored only one goal, not only did they lose their qualification for the next round early, but even entered the Europa League as third in the group.

As a result, Diego Simeone saw the hope of bringing in Griezmann in the winter transfer window.

However, although Diego Simeone is very optimistic that Griezmann can fit into his tactical system, he still asked the club's chief scout Gerardo Guzmán to investigate it himself, just to be on the safe side.

At the same time, in order to maximize the chances of Atletico Madrid competing for the title, Gerardo Guzmán also suggested to Diego Simeone to recall Saul, who had been on loan at Rayo Vallecano before the start of the season, in order to solve the rotation of the team's playmaking midfield.

So, after seeing the wonderful performances of the two "recruitment targets", Diego Simeone finally made up his mind to bring Griezmann and Saul into his account during the winter transfer period. In this way, the Argentine's goal of "winning La Liga" will also be easier to achieve.
