Chapter 189. Levi's determination!
After helping the old Roberts clean up the bar and open for business, the two finally stopped and sat down in the booth.
At this time, although the poradis are open, it is still a little too early, and no one will come at this time, at least until it is close to noon, and the number of customers here will gradually increase.
"Lee, do you have any plans for the future?"
Roberts Sr. asked, sitting in his seat, in a comfortable position.
This question is currently the most concerned thing by the people around Li Lin.
Li Lin shook his head slowly and did not speak.
It's still too early, everything is still unknown, so let's give Raiola a headache!
This winter, Raiola's biggest job is to try to prepare Li Lin's summer transfer, whether it is staying at Tottenham or moving to another club.
Meanwhile, Raiola was sitting in Tottenham Hotspur's chairman's office, sipping coffee.
"Why did you call me so early in the morning, what can't you say on the phone?"
Raiola glanced at Levy and said lightly.
Levy looked at the documents that Boas had just handed him about the summer transfer in his hand, his brow furrowed, and he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Levi spoke.
"Today, Villas-Boas handed me a summer transfer proposal!"
"Oh!"
Hearing that it was a transfer plan, he was slightly interested, and generally speaking, if the agent has a close relationship with the club, he can rely on the club's transfer to seek huge benefits for himself, and this kind of thing often happens to Mendes, another agent.
However, Raiola does not belong to this type of agent, although he is also one of the top agents, compared to the huge scale of players under Mendes, Raiola has few players, but these players are some good seedlings, and they all have a huge transaction value, which is why Raiola is called a vampire, because as long as his players transfer, it must be a very high price, and if this player transfers frequently, then he can get more benefits from it.
So relatively speaking, small clubs will prefer agents like Mendes, because he can make an exchange of benefits, such as helping the club buy a large number of young players with very good quality at a low price, of course, these players are Mendes' players. This way there are benefits for both parties.
Raiola is the kind of agent that big clubs hate the most, because he can easily persuade his players to transfer, and his players are all big names, do you think clubs will like an agent like him? Not to mention that he will ask for a high salary for his players at every turn, which is even more annoying, but you can't offend him too much.
These examples can be seen in Ibrahimovic's transfers over the years.
"Could it be that my players are included in this plan?"
Although Raiola said so, but he didn't feel that the other party would take a fancy to his players, at this stage he is still looking for future stars, his banner, in addition to Ibrahimovic, Morrison and Li Lin, the most famous are Balotelli and Matuidi, these players are not players that Tottenham will pay attention to, and they are also players that Tottenham can't afford, as for the rest, they are all young players, and there is even more hope.
But this time Raiola guessed wrong, the plan in Levy's hand is really a plan for young players, Boas has a big heart, ready to give Tottenham a new generation, except for a few players who are at their peak, the others are future star-level players.
"I'm sorry, but you don't have any players in this plan!"
Levi threw the plan on the table and stood up.
"And in the future plan, Boas did not leave a place for Li Lin."
Levy didn't want to see Li Lin leave, but Boas didn't think much of Li Lin, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he told the truth anyway.
"Well, I guessed that."
The fingers of Raiola's right hand unconsciously tapped on the arm of the chair and said indifferently.
As long as he is not a fool, he can see that Boas is not interested in Li Lin, and Raiola is naturally very clear about this. He doesn't have the boring idea that Villas-Boas doesn't have a good eye or anything, that's how the coach is, he doesn't look at a player from a lot of things, not just from the simple criteria of strength and potential.
"So are Tottenham ready to let Li Lin go?" Raiola glanced at Levi and continued, "If that's the case, I'll be prepared as well!" ”
Helping Li Lin find a home is a matter of effort for Raiola, but it still takes some time to think about it if you really want to help Li Lin find a better environment.
"But!"
Levi's voice suddenly rose up.
"As the president of the club, I personally don't want Li Lin to leave the player, I think whoever sits in this position will feel that selling Li Lin is definitely the most stupid decision!"
Whether Levy was the president of the club or a brilliant businessman, it seemed to him the foolish thing to let him go, and Boas's reasons were impossible to convince Levy.
"What about you?"
"I hope Li Lin can stay and add glory to Tottenham!"
"But he wasn't in Boas's plans!"
Raiola reminded that as the head coach of the team, if he doesn't like a player, or even says that the player is not in his plans, it basically means that you have no future at this club.
"I'll talk to Villas-Boas about that, and if we have such a good striker, why should we buy another striker?"
Levy seems to have made up his mind to keep Li Lin at the club, and even directly interfere with Boas's coaching. This is a rare thing, since Levy became the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur and suffered many losses in a row, he has learned to be smart, professional things are done by professional people, and he never touches those specific matters again.
"You know, this is a bet on Li Lin's career, I don't want Li Lin to stay in a team with sharp contradictions, especially if this contradiction is still caused by him, Li Lin only wants to play well, he has no interest in not wanting his head coach to do too much entanglement!"
Although Levy seems to be swearing, Raiola will not agree to take Li Lin's future as a bet!
