Chapter 84: Transfer (4)
After Fan Shang gave the order, he sat down in a chair again, holding coffee and waiting for news with François. www.biquge.info But soon Vincent put down his coffee cup, because the offer from Strasbourg came and they had agreed to the offer of 5 million francs plus a cotte.
Fan Shang took the fax and smiled at François, "It's your turn, you just do what I say." Talking about the importance that our club attaches to European competitions, I think he must be suffocated by a club like Strasbourg that can't play in European competitions. ”
"No problem, don't worry."
François returned to his office and began to contact Darcourt and his agent. And Fan Shang was still holding on to a cup of coffee, waiting for the Czech reaction.
Waiting is the most painful thing, as time passed, Fan Shang was still sitting and drinking coffee at first, slowly put down the coffee cup, and then couldn't even sit still, kept walking around, and at the same time he kept asking the staff if there was a reply from Prague.
It can be regarded as hard work pays off, in the anxious Fan Shang finally waited for Prague's reply, they are still more reasonable, the $4.5 million reply makes Fan Shang feel that his wait is still worth it, at least you can see the attitude of Sparta Prague, they are not averse to selling Nedved, and the price can also be discussed.
Fan Shang thought for a while, "Let's reply, let's raise the offer to $2.8 million and see how Prague reacts." Fan Shang said to the staff of the transfer department.
Bordeaux's reply soon reached Sparta Prague, and Vincent felt that it was time for him to contact Nedved.
So Fan Shang asked the staff to find Nedved's phone number, then returned to his office and dialed Nedved's phone.
"Hey, hello, I'm Pavel. Nedved"
"Hey, hello, I'm Bordeaux coach Fan Shang, can I take some time for you?"
"Okay" Nedved's voice was calm.
"Thanks, Pavel, can I call you that?"
"Yes"
"Well, Pavel, I appreciate your style, I want you to come to Bordeaux to play, what do you think?" Fan Shang didn't drag the mud and water at all, and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Fan Shang, I haven't considered this question yet. My transfer was a matter for Sparta Prague. ”
"Pavel, these are not problems, I would like to know if you have any thoughts on coming to Ligue 1. You also know that Ligue 1 is not a big league, and your level can go to the middle of Serie A as the main team. However, Bordeaux is not a club that only looks at league results, we will work hard in European competitions, and this year's UEFA Cup is just the beginning, and we will continue to invest more next year. So I think if you go to the middle of Serie A, you might as well come to Bordeaux. Vincent analyzes the stakes for Nedved and draws a pie for greater investment.
Nedved did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. And Fan Shang also knew that Nedved might need time, so he didn't speak, so both ends of the phone fell silent.
After a few minutes, Nedved finally spoke, "Mr. Vincent, ahem" may have been a relationship that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the few words he had just spoken were a little hoarse, and then Nedved coughed a few times, "Sorry, Mr. Vincent"
"It's okay, call me Fan Shang, I think I should be about the same age as you."
"Oh, okay. Vincent, I wonder if you should have reached an agreement with Sparta Prague before you came to me? ”
"We are close to completion, although there is still a gap of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I don't think this is a problem anymore, so I contacted you, hoping that our cooperation will be successfully completed." Fan Shang explained.
"That's right," said Nedved, his voice a little deep, a little unhappy that Sparta Prague had not informed him of the offer. "I think we can talk about it after you both come to an agreement."
"That's agree," Fan Shang thought to himself, clenching his fist vigorously with his hand that wasn't holding the phone
"No problem, Pavel, I will reach an agreement with Sparta Prague as soon as possible, you just wait for my news. When did you start assembling in the Czech Republic? Vincent wanted to know how much time was left in the countdown to bringing in Nedved
"We'll be assembled in Prague in four days' time" Nedved had nothing to hide about this kind of thing.
"Okay, I'll hurry"
After putting down the phone, Fan Shang dialed Yakai's phone again.
"Hello, Aimee"
"Hello, Vincent, are you in Paris now? Can't find your way to Clairefontaine? Before Yakai could speak, he asked a series of questions.
"I'm sorry, Aimée, I'm still in my office in Bordeaux and I don't think I'll be able to go to Clerfontaine tomorrow, but I can still do something for the national team."
"Fan Shang, what do you mean?"
"I'm probably going to the Czech Republic in the next few days for a player's transfer. But I understand that the Czech national team will start training in four days, so I can help you explore the enemy camp then. Fan Shang said that in order to get rid of Nedved, Fan Shang sold himself as a spy
"But Fan Shang, the Czech Republic is not in the same group as us, do you think it makes sense?"
"Aimee, won't we France qualify? We shouldn't just focus on the group stage, that's the underdog approach, we should be aware of all our potential opponents and I think the Czech Republic is one of those teams. Vincent retorted to Jacquet
'I really hope you can join up with the team as soon as possible so we can finalize the 23-man squad as soon as possible.
"Aimee, I'm going to be ready for next season at the club too. Besides, isn't our captain still in Italy? I'm going to go to Clay Fontaine right away with this transfer. ”
"Okay Vincent, but you hurry up, I want to see you in Clay Fontaine in three days, I don't need any Czech intelligence, I will come directly to Paris after getting your transfer." Jacquet's tone was a little serious, Jacquet himself is a strict person, otherwise he would not have been the first to take the disobedient Cantonati away after taking the position of head coach of the French national team.
"Okay, Aimee, don't worry" Fan Shang also heard a slight change in Yakai's tone, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Yakai, this old man is also an anxious man, the Czech Republic only started training four days later, and your training camp is nearly a week ahead of others, is this necessary? This is not in the Celestial Empire, and you don't want to go abroad for less than a month of intensive training. Fan Shang despised Yakai a little in his heart.
Then Fan Shang returned to the transfer department non-stop and continued to keep an eye on Nedved's transfer. But until the end of the day, I did not receive a reply from Prague. In the end, Fan Shang could only walk out of the castle in disappointment and drive home.
Another morning, Fan Shang came to the club early, and he went directly to the transfer department. Grabbed a cup of coffee and sat in yesterday's chair and waited for news from Prague.
This time Fan Shang didn't have to wait long, and before it was lunch time, Sparta Prague replied to Bordeaux's offer. They think the $2.8 million offer is too low, and they want to get at least $4.5 million.
Fan Shang thought for a while, "Continue to offer, 3 million US dollars" Fan Shang originally wanted to improve a little, but now Bordeaux is really short of funds on hand, and Fan Shang can only save one point.
This time, Sparta Prague seemed to have changed clubs, and the reply could be said to be fast, and in less than 10 minutes, there was the latest offer there: still $4.5 million.
For this price, Fan Shang wanted to agree at that time, but when he thought of Bordeaux's purse, Fan Shang couldn't help it.
Fan Shang first calculated the transfer funds he had on hand, and used 3 million francs to introduce Pire, and 5 million francs from the sale of Dogan, so the current transfer funds are 2 million francs more, that is, Bordeaux's transfer funds are now about 11 million francs, and the combined US dollars are less than 3 million.
"$3.3 million, paid in two installments." Fan Shang commanded.
$3.6 million, paid in two installments
$3.9 million, paid in two installments
$4,000,000, paid in two installments
Fan Shang has been raising the offer. Eventually, after several back-and-forth battles, Bordeaux and Sparta Prague finally reached an agreement, in which Sparta Prague agreed that Bordeaux would bring in Nedved for $4.2 million, and the transfer fee would be paid in two installments, with Bordeaux having to pay the first $2 million after signing the contract with Nedved, and the remaining $2.2 million would have to be received in the following year.
