"Thirty million euros, Mendes doing good business."

By the time Rist arrived in Madrid, Real Madrid had already dealt with Pepe. Real Madrid and Pepe have signed a five-year contract, while the exact transfer fee has not been announced. However, Portugal's "Competition" said that Real Madrid spent 30 million euros to buy Pepe, and then many newspapers followed suit, saying that the transfer was 30 million euros.

30 million euros is a sky-high transfer. A central defender, who was injured for half a year in the 0607 season and has just entered the Portuguese national team, is a second-rate famous central defender, who has reached 30 million euros. I can't figure it out. Even the Lisbon police are starting to pay attention to the transfer because it is so abnormal. They suspect money laundering, kickbacks, including financial fraud, and so on.

After hearing that Real Madrid had signed Pepe, Lippi even ridiculed Real Madrid, saying: "Pepe can finally play next to Cannavaro." ”

"Calderón and Mijatovic are already mad."

Reesert nodded, and although Carvajal didn't say anything, Rist could understand when he thought about it. It's good for a player like Pepe to be able to exceed 10 million euros at a normal price. Thirty million euros, who can believe. There's definitely a lot of stuff in that.

Porto will never really get 30 million euros, and it would be nice for them to get half of them at most. Because even at half the price, their profits are very high. Where will the rest of the money flow? If you think about it with your toes, you can think that it must be Calderón and Mijatovic, who are the top executives of Real Madrid.

"Isn't there anyone on the Real Madrid side who is questioning?"

Real Madrid is a members' club. Mijatovic spent money so unscrupulously. Or even such an inexplicable transfer. Wouldn't the Real Madrid member question and ask Mijatovic for an explanation?

"What's the use."

Carvajal smiled and said: "The Real Madrid members are asking for a club general meeting and asking Mijatovic to make public all the financial records of transfers. But you also know that there is only one person who has the right to hold club meetings, and that is Calderón. People Calderon don't open it, what can they do. ”

"Tut-tut, it's really a nest of snakes and rats."

Rist really doesn't like Calderon and Mijatovic. Even if two people really eat kickbacks, they shouldn't be like this**naked. At the very least, there is a little bit of decency. But Calderón and Mijatovic are different. Their food looks too ugly.

After being elected president of Real Madrid, he pulled his relatives and friends to the club, and he was able to get Real Madrid's high salary without bullshit. Their relatives and friends do nothing and are able to take hundreds of thousands of euros from Real Madrid every year on wages, as high as millions of euros. Plus every transfer also comes out to eat commissions. Of course, these are nothing, that is, a typical person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.

But in the transfer, it is too ugly to eat kickbacks so nakedly. Since Calderón became president of Real Madrid, no single transfer has been normal. If you say that last summer, it was just a commission increase, to share the commission. Just like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Joaquín's transfers. The commission is twice as expensive as normal, and the expensive part is privately divided by them.

If you still earn money in the summer with high commissions, then the beginning of the winter is completely different. They are already not satisfied with eating commissions. Directly on the transfer fee.

Gonzalo Higuain, a young hairy kid who has just made his mark in Argentine football. Real Madrid went up to 13 million euros, five or six million euros higher than the real price. If this can be said, then it cost 30 million euros to buy Pepe, which is simply laughable. More than 15 million euros are problematic.

Calderon and Mijatovic are not only ugly, but now they are also getting bolder. Real Madrid is spending a lot of money now, but it has become more and more silky. It's no longer as attractive as the galactic battleships it once was.

"Still, Riester. Mendes' deal made him famous. ”

Carvajal has some concerns. When Rist first mentioned Mendes to Carvajal a few years ago, Carvajal didn't really take Mendes to heart. Because at that time, Carvajal was Spain's No. 1 agent and had countless Spanish superstar players. At that time, Mendes was just taking advantage of the suppression of Figer. It's just the nouveau riche who grabbed the Portuguese territory. In those years, he was nested in Portuguese football, and he couldn't compare with agents like Carvajal.

But with the contact with Mendes in recent years. Carvajal is increasingly taking Mendez seriously. This person has the most popular head coach in world football, Jose Mourinho, and also has Deco, Carvalho, Cristiano. Ronaldo, these stars, the strength is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the year.

Now look at Mendes' handiwork. Whatever the reason, Mendes was able to sell Pepe, a second-rate centre-back in European football, for a whopping 30 million euros, and his reputation was immediately launched. Even if he didn't earn a penny from this transfer, this transfer alone made him famous.

For brokers, this fame is very important. Like Mascadei, he was notorious in Argentine football back then, but why has he been able to run rampant in Argentine football for so many years. It's not because he was the only one in Argentine football who was the most capable of making Argentine players go to Europe. And like Raiola, that fame is already a stinky street. Many high-level giants are eager to strangle him, but there is also an endless stream of good players in his hands. Because he has a bad reputation at the club, but he has a good reputation among the players. Because he can just help players make a lot of money.

That's the case with Mendes now. To be able to operate a player like Pepe and transfer to Real Madrid at such a high price, that's what he's capable of. Carvajal, as Real Madrid's most influential agent, is also worried in the face of an excellent opponent like Mendes.

"yes. Mendez is now fledgling. ”

Rist has already tried his best to suppress Mendes, and Mendes's momentum is indeed not as good as it has been in history. But with Pepe's transfer. Mendes can be said to have broken through, and his momentum is not lower than that of agents such as Rist and Carvajal.

"But that's a good thing, too."

"A good thing?"

Reesette nodded. Although he is not very satisfied with Mendes's limelight this time, he is very satisfied with Pepe's 30 million euros. Therefore, he smiled and said: "Think about it, a rookie defender like Pepe is 30 million euros, and what will be the transfer fee for European football players in the future." I have a lot of top centre-backs in my hands now, and now that I have Pepe as the coordinates, my players can't be cheap. ”

There is no shortage of good centre-backs. Thiago. Silva, Benatia, Subertic, these centre-backs are all top-tier centre-backs. In the future, Rist will sell more than 30 million euros.

"Huh. Rist. You can think of it. ”

"Of course. With all that in mind, we still have to think about the positives. ”

Mendes, this bastard Rist, really admires. There are many transfers of more than 40 million euros in Rister so far. This was the case from Nedved to Ribery and Messi. But Rist hasn't had a moment to sell a rookie player like Pepe for 30 million.

"Ginnes, though. I watched Calderón and Mijatovic play like this, not for a few years. ”

"yes. Compared to Florentino, Calderón is simply too bad. ”

There is a contrast to see the good and the bad. At the time of the collapse of Florentino's superstar policy, many people criticized Florentino. At the time, many fans thought that Florentino's policy was wrong and that he should be responsible for leaving. His superstar policy is a complete brute force that does not understand the laws of football.

But when Florentino left and Calderón became the president of Real Madrid, everyone found out that he was compared to Florentino. Calderón is simply the dumbest of fools. Although Florentino's results were poor in the latter stages, Real Madrid never lacked superstar players. Even with poor results, Real Madrid's attractiveness is the best in European football.

But look at Calderón. Players he brought in after he took over. It is completely incomparable to when Florentino was there. What's more, Calderón has never had the sensational transfer of Florentino. On the contrary, it left a lot of transfer laughingstock.

"Have you seen Florentino lately?"

"Yes. People are busy running their own companies. The economy in the U.S. hasn't been doing well lately. He is now worried about the impact on his company. ”

"Yes. Did he say he wanted to make a comeback? ”

Calderon was poor, and Rist despised him. But it is precisely because Calderón lacks control that Carvajal and Riester's influence in Real Madrid has risen sharply. If Florentino returns, Carvajal and Rist will have to play differently.

"Still waiting."

Carvajal understood what Rist meant. For Rist and Carvajal, the biggest concern is still Florentino's comeback. But looking at Calderon's virtue now, Carvajal knows that as long as Florentino wants to make a comeback. Calderón's stupid guy is hard to stop. Florentino has been out of Real Madrid for a year and a half, but his influence still surrounds Real Madrid.

"Looks like you and I still need to maintain some relationship with Florentino."

"Yes."

"By the way, Soldado, what do you think. If you want me to say don't let him come back. ”

Soldado spent last season on loan at Osasuna and has been doing well. Scored eleven La Liga goals in one season, and Real Madrid brought him back this season.

"You've got a place to go."

"Club Extremadura. They just recently sold Alves and Milito. Money on hand. Ready to bring in a couple of great players, I sent my players Mata and Michu there. ”

"Those two people from Real Madrid's academy?"

"Yes. There's no chance of getting into the first team anyway. Just go out and make a break. I think Soldado will also transfer, and the transfer fee of four or five million euros to the club of Extremadura can still easily afford it. ”

Soldado later underperformed at Tottenham, but he has always performed well in La Liga. The club has just sold Alves to Atletico Madrid for a staggering €26 million and Milito to Fiorentina for €18 million. The two transfers to Rist received tens of millions of euros in Esttremadura and more than 1.4 million euros in commissions from Atletico Madrid. After selling two players, the Estrimadura club had just the money in hand and wanted to strengthen the team.

"You can too. I don't want Robert to follow Javier's path. ”

Portillo was also a Carvajal player back then, and he was so obsessed with playing at Real Madrid that he is now obsessed with playing in the second division. When he first debuted, his results in the youth team were even better than Raul's. Carvajal doesn't want Soldado to be like Portillo.

"Okay. I asked Extremadura to make an offer with Real Madrid. It's not just Soldado, I think Negredo should be rented out quickly. There is no chance at Real Madrid. ”

"I'll think about it."
