Chapter 220: His Royal Highness
Although not as popular as the World Cup and the European Cup, the Copa America is also a heavyweight event in world football, and the European media has also paid a lot of attention, and Adriano and Ricardo have also been coveted by many European giants with their outstanding performances.
For a time, both of them were worth skyrocketing. Real Madrid offered a sky-high price of 70 million euros to Inter Milan for Adriano. If the deal is sold, it will once again set a new record for transfer fees in world football.
However, Inter rejected the offer and claimed that Adriano was not for sale.
As for the Licardo...... Ricardo, who has a termination fee of only $20 million, is directly in a state of "being watched", as long as he has a $20 million club in his hand, he doesn't mind testing it, what if it succeeds? This is a sure-fire deal, now $20 million to buy Ricardo, as long as Ricardo's state does not decline, there is no obvious regression, a season later to sell more than 50 million euros easily.
The top brass of the SΓ£o Paulo club regretted not doing it at the beginning. knew this, even if he faced the pressure from Ronaldo, he insisted on doubling Ricardo's contract breaking fee.
Now it seems that even if Ricardo's contract break is $40 million, there will be more than a dozen European giants waving cheques to buy it.
The European giants who directly activated Ricardo's contract clause have once again raised their personal treatment offer for Ricardo after the Copa America end.
AC Milan, for example, updated the terms to Farah: a five-year contract, a weekly salary of 55,000 euros, a signing fee of 2.4 million euros, an appearance fee of 4,200 euros, and a goal bonus of 4,700 euros.
They also launched a "friendship offensive", with Kaka repeatedly calling Ricardo to persuade him to join.
However, Ricardo has been waiting for news from the other side.
Inter Milan finally raised the offer slowly: 47,000 euros per week, 1.8 million euros for signing, 3,800 euros for appearances and 3,500 euros for goals.
It's a big drop from what AC Milan offers.
Most of the other teams were treated lower than AC Milan, but some were higher, but Ricardo didn't consider them. Half a year ago, Farah had already looked for a house for him in Milan, and even Stella had already moved in.
Ronaldo made a phone call and said apologetically: "Brother, now 'Daddy' doesn't care, the chairman is Mr. Facchetti, so my words don't work as well as before." The team's new manager, Roberto Mancini, believes that there are already several top strikers in the squad and that it doesn't make much sense to sign you again, so he is not particularly keen to push for your move. Frankly, I also think that if you go to another team, like AC Milan or Real Madrid, it will give you a better development. Maybe it's good to go to Barcelona and partner with Ronaldinho......"
Ricardo interrupted him. "Daddardo, I'm just asking you, do you want to play with me?"
"Of course I do, brother!" Ronaldo laughed.
"That's fine, I'll accept Inter's terms." Ricardo said categorically.
β¦β¦
On July 29, four days after the Copa America, Ricardo quietly boarded a plane to Milan, Italy.
Well-informed transfer expert Di Marzio published a brief in the newspaper "Milan Sport": Ricardo has negotiated a personal deal with Inter Milan and is about to come to Milan for a medical examination.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation among the neras.
Who is the current star that Nella loves the most? The answer is Ronaldo.
Since joining in the 97-98 season, Ronaldo has made great contributions to Inter Milan, and has been called "the king of Meazza by the fans in the North Stand of Meazza".
Although he is not the captain of Inter Milan on the field, he is the banner man of Inter Milan and always receives the highest decibel cheers from Meazza.
And now, his younger brother will join the Nerazzurri? Naturally, the fans should give a warm welcome.
So after the newspaper went on sale, Milan Boys, Nerazzurri Milan and other fan organizations formed a team to go to the airport to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince.
For a time, thousands of fans waving blue and black flags and blue and black scarves gathered at the exit of the airport, and the Milan police were very nervous and urgently deployed at the airport to prevent emergencies.
But the scene is actually more orderly. These fan organizations are all experienced and have strong organization and coordination skills, and now this is just a small scene, and they feel that the police are really making a big fuss.
A cute boy with chestnut curly hair, who looked only 7 or 8 years old, looked up and asked the adults next to him, "Dad, who are we here to pick up?" β
The father replied, "Pick up Ricardo." β
"But, but," the little boy's big eyes rolled around, "but who is Ricardo?" β
Someone next to him laughed and said, "Licardo, that's His Majesty's younger brother!" Don't you know? β
The little boy's eyes widened, and he said unexpectedly, "Ah, it's Ronaldo's brother." Then he must be very powerful, right? β
"He must be pretty good, he's the top scorer in the Copa America that ended a few days ago."
"Have you ever seen him play, uncle?" The little boy's innocent eyes sparkled.
The "uncle", who looked to be only about 20 years old, smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen it." β
"What position does he play?" The little boy asked curiously.
"It should be," the 20-year-old hesitated, "it should be a striker." Yes, it's the striker. β
"Striker...... the little boy frowned cutely, "we have Ronaldo, we have Adriano, we have Vieri, we have Recoba, we have Martins, we have CuarΓ³n, we have Ventola, we have 7 strikers, why buy strikers?" β
"This ...... This ......" 20-year-old uncle was so anxious that he was sweating.
In the end, the boy's father smiled and cleared the siege for him: "Perhaps, this Ricardo will be better than those seven strikers." β
"Impossible!" The little boy said firmly, "No one in this world is better than Ronal." β
"This Ricardo doesn't have to be," the boy's father smiled, "he really has the potential to surpass Ronaldo." β
"I don't believe it," the little boy stubbornly bit his lip, "Ronaldo is the best." β
"When the season starts, I'll take you to see Ricardo play, and then you can tell with your own eyes." The boy's father said.
β¦β¦
Carrying his suitcase and sunglasses, Ricardo hurriedly walked out of the exit with his head down, startled by the scene in front of him.
Hundreds of fans were seen, dressed in blue-and-black tones, waving blue-and-black flags and scarves, holding improvised signs: "Welcome, Ricardo!" "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince of Meacha!" "Licardo, we love you!"
RICCARDO STOOD SILENTLY FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN SUDDENLY OPENED HIS MOUTH AND SHOUTED, "FORZA INTER!" β
