No. 946: Florentino's statement!
In the office of the president of Real Madrid, Florentino stood by the window and looked out of the window, and downstairs were more than 20 journalists waiting there.
With media reports and Ferguson's statement, Ronaldo's transfer has become the focus of the whole of Europe.
As the president of Real Madrid, the media and fans certainly want to know what he thinks.
Real Madrid CEO Alexis Sanchez sat on the sofa and watched Florentino's back closely, without interrupting his thinking.
After a long time, Florentino slowly turned around, and Sanchez immediately straightened his back, knowing that Mr. President had made a decision.
"What is the salary Mendes is offering?"
Mendes is Ronaldo's agent and a pivotal figure in the entire world football agent circle.
Cristiano Ronaldo's contract has two years to go and a new contract is bound to be negotiated now, with salary being the top priority.
Sanchez hurriedly said: "Twenty-five million, after tax." ”
Now that the media has exposed the news that Ronaldo is going to transfer to Manchester United, Florentino doesn't know that this is Ronaldo building momentum for a new contract, if you Florentino doesn't agree, I'll Ronaldo leave.
But if Florentino really thinks that this is just Ronaldo building momentum, and ironclad thinks that Ronaldo will not leave, it is wrong. If Florentino is unable to meet Cristiano Ronaldo's salary demands, the Portuguese could not sign a new contract and seek a move next season.
A top player like Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't worry about leaving home at all.
This is where Florentino has the most headaches.
Meeting the new salary proposed by Cristiano Ronaldo is bound to break the salary structure of Real Madrid, and other players will also make new salary demands.
For example, Chen Fan, he used his performance to prove that he was more reliable than Ronaldo in major competitions.
To meet Ronaldo's requirements, Chen Fan will definitely put forward a new salary request.
Domino effect.
"Also, Thomson was in contact with me yesterday and he thinks the contract should be re-signed."
Sanchez reported the request of Chen Fan's agent Thomson in as calm a voice as possible: "The salary he proposed is 28 million!" ”
Florentino's brow furrowed, and the flesh on his face couldn't help but tremble slightly.
And so it was!
"Let me think again......"
What Sanchez didn't expect was that he thought that Mr. President had already made a decision, but what he was waiting for was this sentence.
He had no choice but to retire.
Florentino then called Mourinho for him.
The two went straight to the core topic, and Florentino asked, "If there is only one person between Chen and Cristiano, which one do you think you should keep?" ”
Mourinho opened his mouth in shock and was speechless for a long time.
How much of a shock would this cause if it were to be heard......
Could it be that Florentino has come to a showdown?
'I don't think there's a problem with the two of them not being able to get along, you can see it, they've got a lot of things on the pitch now, they've set up a couple of goals for each other.
If Ronaldo leaves, the Portuguese gang he built will surely fall apart, and the remaining Pepe is not enthusiastic about the power struggle in the dressing room, Carvalho is past his prime, and Fabio Coentlao ...... That's a big deal.
If the Portuguese gang falls apart, how will he control the Real Madrid dressing room?
Mourinho suddenly thought of a very terrible question: Is this Florentino trying to fire me?
kicked Ronaldo away, and then he couldn't force the dressing room, then Florentino would say: "Jose, you see, the players are against you, for the sake of Real Madrid's long-term stability, you better leave Real Madrid with dignity......"
"Although the media is now reporting that Cristiano is leaving the Bernabeu, I think he should not want to leave Real Madrid, he should be doing it for a higher salary."
Mourinho, who was aware of the crisis, hurriedly explained.
Florentino nodded and said: "Of course I know what his purpose is, and I also know that he doesn't want to leave Real Madrid, at least before Chen came to Real Madrid. ”
Mourinho had just breathed a sigh of relief and was immediately nervous again.
"Mendesti's salary is too high, Thomson also put forward a new salary request, although Real Madrid has money, but after the two of them raise their salaries, what will happen to the other players?"
Florentino spread his hands and said: "Before the end of the season, we have five players to sign new contracts, so we should give them a salary increase." ”
He looked at Mourinho and said: "Look at how much financial pressure Real Madrid will have to bear if Cristiano is given a big salary increase? ”
Mourinho's brows furrowed, Real Madrid is indeed the richest club in the world, but the expenditure is also very large.
Take the player's salary as an example, the contract is an after-tax figure, 20 million salary, the club has to help the player pay nearly 20 million in taxes, a total of 40 million!
In other words, if a player gets a salary of 20 million, the club spends 40 million!
"Do you think Chen alone can help us win La Liga and the Champions League?"
Seeing that Mourinho did not speak, Florentino asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
Jose Mourinho knows this is a very difficult question to answer, and if he says no, then how did Arsenal win the Premier League and Champions League?
If so...... Well, Florentino could really give up on Ronaldo, then his control of the Real Madrid dressing room ......
"If both of them were at Real Madrid, I could have made Real Madrid achieve another glory in history!"
Mourinho looked at Florenti and said: "You also saw the energy in both of them. ”
Florentino nodded and said, "Of course I know that, but that's not my problem. ”
These words suddenly drove Mourinho to a dead end.
"I'll go and persuade Cristiano."
After Mourinho said this, he left the office of the Real Madrid president.
Immediately after Mourinho left, Florentino called Casillas to his office.
The two talked in the office for nearly an hour.
As for what they all said, no one knows.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, night began to fall in Madrid, but the reporters under the headquarters of Real Madrid still did not leave.
They have the posture of "if they don't interview the president of Real Madrid today, they will never leave".
Looking out the window downstairs, Florentino shook his head helplessly, closed the curtains, and left the office.
A few minutes later, Florentino appeared at the door of the headquarters building, and the reporters were in high spirits.
They finally got the Real Madrid president.
The reporters immediately surrounded Florentino, set up long guns and short guns, and aimed at the president of Real Madrid, who was not shocked.
"I've also been concerned about the recent media rumours about Cristiano's transfer.
Florentino said into the microphone, voice recorder and mobile phone in front of him: "Cristiano is not for sale at Real Madrid, and we are now negotiating a new contract between the two parties." ”
