595 Booming Transfer Market(3)
"Ruud, what do you mean?"
Although Ruud van Nistelrooy is 32 years old, there are still many clubs interested in him because he is in good shape. After all, this may be his last contract, and Rist will certainly have to discuss it with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"What do you think, Lister?"
When Ruud van Nistelrooy first came to Real Madrid, he signed an almost lifelong contract. Because his contract was unanimously signed until 2010, he would be thirty-four years old by then. And there was also a clause in the contract at the time, which was that as long as Ruud van Nistelrooy could play more than 25 games, then the contract would be automatically extended for another year. The contract signed at that time was a veritable lifetime contract. But I didn't expect Florentino to make a comeback, and Vanney was going to find the next one.
"Ruud, there are three options."
For young teenagers, an agent of Rist's level can help them choose. But when it comes to Vanney, Rist will give him advice, and it will ultimately be up to them to choose.
"The first one, of course, is to go to the big clubs. You're not short of big clubs, you're a free agent, Inter and Milan are interested in you, Tottenham in the Premier League are interested in you. Of course, if you go, it may be difficult to play the main team, and they will ask you to lower your salary. ”
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been playing for the big clubs since he joined PSV Eindhoven. First in PSV Eindhoven, then to Manchester United, and finally to Real Madrid. This lap has been playing for ten years in the giants. A striker like Ruud van Nistelrooy who is in good form and has an experience. A lot of big guys are in great need. It's just that it's very difficult to hit the main force, so it can only be used as a supplement.
"The second is to go to some normal strong teams. They need a champion player like you and they want to be influenced by you. This way you will be able to guarantee a regular for a season or two, and you will be able to guarantee your salary. There are many strong teams that are interested in you now, such as Schalke and Hamburg in the Bundesliga. ”
"The third is to play in the Middle East or Major League Soccer. They have a good salary, but then you're completely out of Europe's major leagues. ”
In fact, these three options are the same for many older top stars. Either stay in the big club and keep the face of your own big players. Either for the main position, find a club that can play the main team. The last thing is for the future life. Go to a place with a high salary to retire. For Lister. All three methods work, and Rist has the connections to do it.
Vanney thought for a moment and then said to Rist: "Let's play." I don't want to retire yet. ”
"I know it."
In a nutshell, Vanney made it clear. Whether it's going to the big guys or going to the Middle East or the United States. In fact, they are all going to retire. Fanny doesn't want to retire. It means that I want to play. Vanney has made a statement. Rist, of course, has to be satisfied. For Lister, in addition to earning money when they were young, it was also necessary to arrange the events at the end of their careers.
Vanney's business is simple and simple. It's hard to say. The simple thing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently a free agent, and Real Madrid are willing to let Ruud van Nistelrooy leave freely, so as long as Ruud van Nistelrooy is interested, then it is easy to reach an agreement. And Fanny himself is in good shape, there is no shortage of buyers. But the difficulty is that Vanney's annual salary is 6 million euros after tax, which is too high. In the current European football world, Ruud van Nistelrooy's salary of 6 million euros after tax is the salary that can be ranked in the top 15. Even if it weren't for Real Madrid and Manchester City suddenly raising the player's salary too high this time, Ruud van Nistelrooy's salary would have been able to enter the top ten.
Even Real Madrid thought that Vanney's salary was too high and was reluctant to let him stay at Real Madrid for retirement. Not to mention many other strong teams, who can afford Ruud van Nistelrooy's high salary.
After contacting Tottenham and Stoke City in succession, Rist immediately gave up contact with them. Because none of them wanted to afford Vanney's exorbitant salary, they were willing to give Vanney up to three million euros after taxes. In terms of taxes in England, three million euros after tax is six million euros a year. That's a very high expense for them.
Rist had some frustration. If it were really possible, Lister really wanted Vanney to stay at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid would have to pay Vanney six million euros in taxes anyway. But Rist wants face, and Fanny wants face. As the king of the small penalty area, Vanney will not rely on Real Madrid for a little money.
In a short period of time, Rist finally found a good club, that is, Hamburg in the Bundesliga. Hamburg are willing to offer Vanney a whopping salary of €5 million after tax, but there are some strings attached. For example, if Hamburg fails to qualify for the Champions League this season, then Vanney can only get 4 million euros after tax, and Hamburg will have to reduce 20% of Vanney's salary.
It's not just this clause, there's a condition. That is, if Vanney is injured, not a serious injury, they will also reduce Vanney's salary. In particular, if Vanney was injured for more than six weeks, then his salary will be paid by the Industrial Accident Insurance Federation after six weeks. At that time, Vanney could only receive a maximum of 5,786.77 euros a month.
This contract is not harsh, it can only be said that Hamburg is smart. They weren't sure if a 32-year-old player like Ruud van Nistelrooy would be able to help Hamburg. Rist was hesitant, but Vanney didn't hesitate and signed the name directly. Rist was also relieved.
And Riester's players are starting to make their way into the Bundesliga in a big way. After Vanney arrived in Hamburg, it was not long before Rist came into contact with Schalke. Schalke are the wealthier clubs, having paid 18 million euros to bring in PSV Eindhoven's Huntelaar. Originally, based on Huntelaar's results in the Eredivisie, it should have been a transfer to a giant.
However, Rister was a step behind in matters for Huntelaar, which deprived him of the best transfer opportunity. After the actions of several big clubs this season, Huntelaar suddenly had nowhere to go and became very embarrassed. But Huntelaar is no longer young, already twenty-five years old. If you don't transfer, you will probably be completely scrapped in the Eredivisie. So after choosing, Riester chose the Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke.
"Pini. The transfer market has been the hottest I've had since I became an agent. ”
Rist has just agreed a transfer deal with Chelsea, and it should be a transfer that has been talked about for a long time. The transfer of Branislav Ivanovic, whom Chelsea have been eyeing since the winter, has finally been negotiated.
Chelsea, for their part, despise Manchester City as an "upstart". Branislav Ivanovic is obviously a player of around 10 million pounds, and you, the "nouveau riche", have speculated the value of the player too high. Thiago. How could Silva and Krarov be worth so much money, blame this "nouveau riche". Sparta Prague took Krarov and Thiago. Silva's standard, bargaining with Chelsea. The transfer market is not normal this summer anyway, so let's continue to be abnormal. In the end, Chelsea paid £17 million to bring in Branislavic from Sparta Prague.
"Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, they're all huddled together."
Pinny. Zahavi shook his head, too. If they can separate these transfers, then there will definitely not be a situation like this summer. It is precisely because they spend too much money that they have messed up the entire transfer market. After they messed up, the transfer fees of the players began to skyrocket, so that many strong teams could only follow suit.
Because now things are simple. Or you just buy players. Either you don't buy players this summer. Many strong teams will not be able to keep up with the development if they don't buy players. So I could only pinch my nose and endure it once.
"By the way, you're going to Tottenham in the afternoon?"
"Yes. Tottenham also want to buy players. ”
Tottenham have been the most poached player this summer. At first, Hleb was poached, and Pellegrini remembered his disciple when he arrived at Manchester City. Within two days, Barcelona brought Arshavin, the hottest player in the European Championship, to Camp Nou. But it didn't end there, as Ferguson of Manchester United took Berbatov for £32 million.
In the middle of the summer. Tottenham sold three big players for a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros. The great players all ran away. Tottenham received hundreds of millions of euros in transfer fees. Of course, it's going to take him out of the. In fact, Tottenham Hotspur has sold a lot of high-priced players in recent seasons. Diarra to Malouda, Carrick, Hleb, Arshavin and Berbatov, these players have made a lot of money by selling them to Tottenham.
This is not the case for Tottenham alone. Atletico Madrid were also poached Torres and Alves this summer. Also included is Maxi. Rodriguez has also left Atletico. Even now Gago, Rosicky in the midfield, they are eyed by other giants. After the departure of these players, Atletico Madrid also received more than 100 million euros in transfer fees. In the first round, the nouveau riche and Real Madrid and Barcelona made a force, and the next round was Atletico Madrid and Tottenham, which sold important players.
…………
"Lister, you're shouting too much."
"High?"
Rist shook his head and said to Comoli: "Damian, I'm here according to Sparta Prague's standard for selling people this season. You should know about Thiago this season. Silva, Branislav Ivanovic and Krarov have their transfer fees. I was calling for the price according to their transfer fee. ”
The man opposite Rist is Tottenham's sporting director, Matthee Darmian. Comoli. Speaking of Comoli, he is a big name, and almost everyone knows about it in the current English football world.
He was a scout for Arsenal in his early years, joining Arsenal in 1996 when he was 23 years old. And he happened to meet a Bole, don't think that only players need Bole, in fact, scouts also need Bole. The man didn't have any early performances at Arsenal, but as his partnership with Arsene Wenger got better, he began to make a name for himself in English football.
Because several of the young players he introduced to Arsenal were liked by Arsene Wenger, and the player's fame increased after receiving Wenger's training. Similarly, Comoli became famous as a scout. At Arsenal at the time, although he was not considered the chief scout, he was also ranked in the line of Stephen. The second scout after Lawley.
Later, Arneson moved to Chelsea in '06, so George was the son of George Chelsea. Levy poached Comoli to Tottenham and made him Tottenham's director of football. When he came to Lister last season to bring in Bale, it was Comori who made the move.
Of course, the most reluctant in history came to Liverpool to work with Dalglish. At that time, after the introduction of a large number of household registers, Dalglish's grades were too poor. Liverpool can't blame Dalglish, a Liverpool celebrity, so they can only fire Comoli.
"Lister, you and I know what the transfer market is all about this summer. It's not our first time doing business, and the prices are really too high. ”
"Damien, no way. That's how the market is right now, I want to give you a discounted price, and Sparta Prague doesn't do it. The price has already been speculated, either to keep up or to abandon. ”
Comoli smiled wryly. What else do you say about Sparta Prague, Sparta Prague is not your back garden. It's just that Comory also knows that in the current market, he can't suppress the price if he wants to. What's more, everyone now knows that Tottenham have money. Sold so many good players in the summer and are waiting for reinforcements. It looks like the price can't be pushed down. (To be continued......)
