Chapter 210
"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"
A hurried voice sounded, the silence of the afternoon was broken, Fan Bizhuang opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Connected, it was his agent, Molina, calling.
"Fan, there's something I think I need to ask for your opinion."
Molina's straightforward voice came from the other end of the phone, and Fan Bizhuang had a faint guess in his voice, and asked softly: "Is it about the transfer?" ā
The other side was stunned: "Huh? You got it? ā
Fan Bizhuang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Enrique called just now, and he told me that Barcelona has officially submitted a transfer application to Villarreal." To be honest, I was quite surprised, I didn't expect them to play this game of eating back grass. ā
There was indescribable mockery and ridicule in his voice. A year ago, Van Bizhuang, who was unable to get a chance in the first team, was forced to leave the Camp Nou and almost fell into a situation where there was no ball to play, and now it is only a year, but Barcelona has changed their attitude abruptly, what is this? And when am I what? When you need it, you beckon, and when you don't need it, you kick it away?
I'm not so cheap!
"Yes, I didn't expect them to make a transfer request to Villarreal to bring you back to Camp Nou."
The "grievances" between Van Bizhuang and Barcelona, no one knows the inside story better than Molina, and the person on the other end of the phone also sighed softly, then changed his tone and continued, "Barcelona is indeed quite surprising, but there is more unexpected news, do you want to hear it?" ā
"Oh? What the? ā
"Remember the old man we last met in England? Yes, that's right, Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson! His team also made an official offer to Villarreal...... Not only Manchester United, but Manchester City, which is in the same city as Manchester United, are also chasing you, and by the way, Real Madrid ......"
āā¦ā¦ā
Fan Bizhuang was stunned, this news made him feel inexplicable. Barcelona want to bring him back to Camp Nou, which is quite unexpected, but it is acceptable, after all, Barcelona has a tradition of poaching old players back to the team, and Real Madrid can say, after all, they are all in La Liga, their performances are excellent, and it is not surprising that they will be interested.
But Manchester United, and Manchester City, what's going on...... Fan Bizhuang was a little confused.
Molina on the other end of the phone continued: "Manchester City and Manchester United are very competitive, Mr. Ruben told me that they have raised their transfer offer to 18 million pounds, as for Real Madrid and Barcelona, their offer is not high, but you know, Barcelona and Real Madrid have a huge appeal and influence in La Liga, so I think if you want to ......"
"Wait, you're saying that Mr. Reuben's call was made to you? Then why didn't he call me? ā
"Your phone has been unreachable, and you are on the phone...... "Molina relieved his doubts, "not only Mr. Reuben, Mr. Manuel, but Sir Alex Ferguson from Manchester United, and by the way, Mr. Sun, who claims to be your compatriot......"
"Heh, it's really lively."
Fan Bizhuang pouted and smiled, looked at his phone again, and found that there were some missed calls, and he had been talking to Enrique for too long before, and he didn't know if a call came in, so he missed it.
But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter if he takes it or not, his attitude is very clear, and the rest will be handled by the agent and the club.
"Fan, I would like to ask, do you have any plans to leave Villarreal and go to a bigger stage? Of course, I'd love you to go to a more promising club, after all, the town is still a little too restrictive. But it's up to you, you're my boss, it's up to you. ā
"Thank you, Mr. Contrares." Without even a moment's thought, Van Bizhuang told Molina his decision, which may not be called a decision, because his attitude has not changed all along, "Help me tell the club that I don't want to leave, at least not now. ā
"Yes, I think Mr. Manuel will be very relieved and happy to hear your answer. He will know what to do. ā
Molina said a few more words, and hung up the phone when he said he would return to the town in a few days.
Fan Bizhuang sat back down, thought about it, turned off the mobile phone, and even buckled the battery panel, then closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the afternoon sun.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"Rudolphs, our attitude will not change, tell all the teams who want to buy Fan, he is our future core, the future captain, our reply will always be only two words: not for sale!"
In the office, Pellegrini, who had just spoken on the phone with Molina, was obviously in a good mood, and Fan Bizhuang's unwavering answer made him very relieved, and he was not moved by the high salary of the giants, which made him feel that his vision was really not wrong.
Since Fan Bizhuang has made it clear that he will not leave, Pellegrini naturally has no scruples, even if someone at the top of the club is tempted by a large transfer fee, but the parties are unwilling, even if they want to sell.
The contract clearly states that if a team wants to take Fan Bizhuang away by small means, then okay, the bill of 30 million euros should be paid first.
During the transfer process, negotiations are between clubs and clubs, and private contacts and agreements between clubs and players are not allowed. Of course, although this article is expressly forbidden by FIFA, it is no different from farting, no one cares, and there are many examples of private contact between clubs and players in world football.
Originally, Pellegrini was also worried that a team would find Fan Bizhuang privately and offer a series of favorable conditions, but it was difficult to guarantee that Fan Bizhuang would not be tempted. But now that Fan Bizhuang's attitude is clear, this last worrying factor has been ruled out.
Manuel Pellegrini is convinced that Van Bizhuang will remain a member of Villarreal for a long time to come, at least for the duration of his contract, and a force he can rely on. His team building blueprint can still be carried out smoothly.
But...... Pellegrini is still mixed in his heart, happy that Fan Bizhuang will stay, worrying that the current Fan Bizhuang has attracted the attention of several big clubs, if the future performance continues to be excellent, then it will inevitably attract the attention of more giants.
It's painful and happy.
"It's true that Villarreal is a small club, but we also have our own ambitions...... A bigger stage? Does the Champions League count? ā¦ā¦ Hopefully we can play well this season and try to qualify for the Champions League.' Otherwise, one day in the future, Fan may still leave......"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
United Kingdom. City of Manchester.
Ferguson stood in front of the window of his office, listening to his men update him on the situation.
"Continue to pay attention and show Villarreal our sincerity and determination."
Campos behind him nodded, then turned to leave.
But he didn't see it, and when he turned around, Sir Alex Ferguson's brow furrowed slightly, and then he sighed in a voice he couldn't hear: "It seems that this time, we are...... Failed. ā
At another football club in Manchester, several Manchester City executives are also talking about it.
"What? Villarreal is still refusal? What do they want to do? Isn't eighteen million pounds enough to satisfy their appetites? Do they think that their players are worth 30 million, 50 million, or even 100 million? What a bunch of greedy guys! ā
"I don't think they don't think the price is enough, on the contrary, I think they really don't want to sell!"
"Where would you not want to sell? In the world of football, there are no players that money can't buy! Let's raise the offer again! ā
"Sun! What about Sun? He and Fan are both Chinese, let him help go to Spain to lobby! ā
"Let's do it harder!"
In Spain, in Madrid and Barcelona, a similar scene is being played.
Schuster looked at the latest news coming back from Valencia, smiled, and whispered: "It's really interesting, there are players who can resist the temptation of the Bernabeu." Oh, Manchester United Manchester City also did it, ha, tell the sports department, raise the offer, by the way, help me find some media reporters to come over......"
On the other hand, Barcelona coach Rijkaard is sitting in his office with a gloomy face, and there is a stack of papers on his desk. The above is about Barcelona's bid for Van Bizhuang.
"Damn it! What exactly are these politicians trying to do? Why? Why didn't anyone inform me about buying that kid beforehand? Why not come and ask for my opinion? Bastards, a bunch of bastards! Don't they know that Fan guy came out of La Masia? Isn't this a slap in the face? Also, my team doesn't need players of this style at all, not now, and not in the future, ......"
Rijkaard roared like a wounded and angry lion, yes, the club applied for a transfer to Villarreal, as the head coach of the team, he was not aware of it, and it is said that the top management of the board of directors directly bypassed his decision.
What this means, Rijkaard is well aware. But he didn't want to believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it. But at this moment, he already had an extremely bad premonition in his heart, and the roar at this moment was both like venting and covering up...... Panic and fear.
