When Mendieta finished training and returned home, he received a call from his agent on the way. The agent told him the good news on the phone that Lazio had made an offer to Valencia FC for him.

"Do you know how much they pay, Gezka?" Broker Alberto. Toldra's tone was a little excited.

"How much?" Mendieta seemed very calm, and what Chang Sheng said to him today still left some impact on his heart.

"Eight billion pesetas! Four million dollars! This kind of worth can take anyone in this world! But now this is for you! Tordra said excitedly on the other end of the phone, and Mendieta could even imagine that his spitting star had squirted a meter away. I don't know of any other club in the world that would be able to refuse such a huge sum of money! ”

This is the excited agent who knows that Chang Sheng has rejected Lazio's offer, and he really doesn't know what kind of expression and how to feel......

But the agent didn't know, and neither did Mendieta.

His mood was a little higher.

I thought that if Lazio had such a high offer, then Valencia should have no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, his mood was a little brighter.

Anyway, I'm leaving Valencia.

Although he was a little melancholy, for the sake of his better future, he decided to put his emotions aside for the time being.

Valencia reached the Champions League final for the second season in a row, but ultimately came back home. What does it prove? That's how it proved that this team is at the top level, they hit a bottleneck. If I continue to stay in this team, I am afraid that the future will be like this, limited by Valencia's level.

He is now twenty-eight years old and in the prime of a professional footballer's life. If anything, this will be his last chance.

If you can't catch it, you can only wait for retirement.

He wanted to go out and gamble.

It's not just Mendieta and his agent who are happy about Lazio's offer. Also included are the general managers of Valencia FC, Pitacci and Llorente.

Both of these men are typical managers, Llorente has never been a manager, but a lot of the time he does things in Valencia. For example, Chang Sheng asked him to go to Sweden to bring Ibrahimovic, or for example, he was in charge of selling Claudio in the past. Llorente of López and Gerrard, in fact, the transfer of Mendieta was also operated by Llorente.

Of course, that's another story.

Anyway, now both managerial talents are drooling over Lazio's offer.

Llorente certainly has some abilities. But after all, he was limited by history, and he couldn't see the fog of the future clearly, so he naturally didn't know that Lazio couldn't afford this offer, and it was purely a surprise......

World football at the turn of the century was a turbulent period, at this time, the transfer market was turbulent, all kinds of high price records were broken, and any price could appear.

When Inter Milan bought Vieri from Lazio in 1999, the transfer fee was $50 million, setting a record for the transfer fee of a player in world football.

A year later. Lazio poached Crespo from Parma for $55 million, setting a new record for Vieri's transfer value.

But they had not been glorious for a few days when Florentino stepped in and brought Figo from the Camp Nou to the Bernabeu for $56.1 million.

A year later. This record was broken by Real Madrid themselves, who brought Zidane from Juventus for a transfer fee of 75 million euros, or about 64.45 million US dollars.

This record stood for many years, until eight years later, when Cristiano . Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United can be regarded as breaking this record.

Even in the midst of so many sky-high transfers. The price tag of $41 million can also be among the highest. In fact, in this year's transfer market, the offer ended up being the third highest of the year, behind Zidane's 64.45 million and Gianluigi Buffon's 46 million.

Buying Mendieta and being able to bring so much money to the club is what they dream of.

They didn't have the guilt of selling the captain and hero of the team.

In fact, it has always been a Valencia tradition to sell off heroes, and even Valencia fans are used to it.

Claudio before. López, Gerrard, Farinos and others, which one didn't make a great contribution in Valencia and then was sold at a high price?

Actually, from an economic point of view, Valencia is right to do this, they need to survive, they need to grow, and that is to need money. And in the past few years, although Valencia has sold a lot of people, but it has also invested a lot, if they don't sell people, how can they support their investment, and how can they reach the Champions League final for two consecutive years?

The problem is, Mendieta's transfer deal is a loss......

Mendieta's departure has little impact on Valencia's athletics, but it still has a great impact on Valencia's economy.

In fact, since this summer, Valencia has begun to shrink its monetary base, because it has been spending too much, and it has also owed a lot of debts to the banks, and the fiscal year after year. The reason why the team was able to survive in previous seasons was because the team could participate in the Champions League in a row and finally reach the Champions League final, which gave them a lot of money in the prize money. All of this money can be used to ease the financial pressure on the team.

But last season, they were beaten by Barcelona in the final round and disqualified for the Champions League for the new season, which is nothing for their finances

Suspicion is a heavy blow.

That's why Otti told Win that they couldn't afford to spend too much money on players, and he also hinted at Wins, Valencia's current squad is reasonable.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care so much. I am a cross-traveler, and if the traverser does not use his foresight to make some profits, he is simply embarrassed to say that he is a traverser.

Therefore, Changsheng has to buy people, in order to raise enough funds. Naturally, he wants to sell people.

But Mendieta can't be sold.

Llorente and Pitacci killed them when YY could help the club pay off some of its debts, and they couldn't have imagined that there was anyone in the world who was unmoved by the sky-high price of $41 million.

Lazio were quick to receive a reply from Valencia rejecting their offer from Mendieta.

The person in charge of the transfer transaction was taken aback, he didn't expect the money to be rejected by Valencia!

When they decided to quote this price, they naturally thought that this price would definitely impress Valencia.

They did impress Valencia FC in fact, but who would have thought that out of thin air there would be a perennial winner who knows the details of the future?

Knowing that this transfer deal will become a bad building, Chang Sheng doesn't need to take the initiative to jump into the pit.

The rejection of the offer by Valencia soon reached the president of the Lazio club, Sergio. In Kraniotti's ears. The shrewd businessman was equally surprised.

Because he couldn't imagine that such a high and sincere offer would be rejected.

"Are the Spaniards crazy?" He asked his subordinates in his office who had come to report the situation, and asked in surprise.

The subordinates don't know how to get back to this boss's problem.

Craniotti thought for a moment, he didn't think Valencia would really be able to refuse such a large offer. Maybe they're taking advantage of the opportunity to raise prices?

This is a good possibility. After all, people are always greedy, and if they can ask for 50 million, who wants only 40 million?

But I can't help their unhealthy tendencies.

So he said to his subordinates, "Tell them." Four million dollars, that's the final offer. If they don't want to, then withdraw the offer. ”

Mendieta's agent has done a lot of work, but if Valencia thinks that Lazio really doesn't want Mendieta and can take the opportunity to raise the price, he doesn't care at all what Mendieta's agent thinks.

Anyway, there was something to ask him to make trouble with Valencia. We at Lazio are very sincere, and there are not many clubs in Europe that can afford to spend so much money on Mendieta.

Although AC Milan and Real Madrid are both a bit interesting to Mendieta.

However, Real Madrid Club is only willing to pay 26 million US dollars, and AC Milan has no offer at all.

So only Lazio is sincere, and if Valencia wants to use this to raise the price, Cragnoti doesn't mind letting the other party know that he knows how good he is.

Watch the subordinates leave. Cragnotti looked down for a moment, then pulled out the phone and called Mendieta's agent, Alberto. Tordra made a phone call. It was necessary for Toldela to put pressure on the Valencia club.

Toldela and Mendieta made an appointment on the phone to discuss some transfer details, such as how much salary to ask Lazio for.

These things are not clear on the phone, or it is better to talk to them in person.

Take advantage of the opportunity to eat. It will be done in no time.

But before he could rejoice, he received a call from Craniotti.

"What's going on with Valencia FC?" The Italian merchant asked in a low voice, in an unkind tone.

Tordra was stunned, and before his excited expression could fade, it froze on his face, and it was quite exciting for a while.

"What?" Pitaccki's phone rang. As soon as he picked it up, Toldra's angry voice rang out over there.

After only a few seconds, his face turned grim.

"What's going on?" He asked in a serious tone.

"I want to ask you what's going on! You said it last season, if you don't win the Champions League, you won't stop Gezka's transfer! "Mendieta's agent, Tordela, was tough against the club's general manager.

Sometimes, powerful brokers are capable of doing just that. As Valencia's captain's agent, Tordela is qualified to do so.

Pitacci was a little unhappy with the agent's attitude, but it was not good to explode directly, he just said: "I need to understand the situation......"

"You'd better get aware, Mr. Pitage!"

With that, Toldra hung up the phone.

Pitage didn't care to get angry with Toldra, so he picked up the phone and dialed Chang Sheng.

If what Toldela said is true and Valencia FC rejected Lazio's offer, then there is only one possibility, and this Chinese did it!

This damn Chinese! What's he doing?

Forty-one million can't satisfy him?!

He did this in case the business was ruined...... How is that good?

Originally, Pitacc's attitude towards Chang Sheng was just neutral, and Chang Sheng divided his transfer rights, but the bad guys proved their vision in Getafe, so in the absence of conclusive evidence of defeat, Pitacki would not talk to Chang Sheng about this. But now that Chang Sheng has tossed such a play, his attitude towards Chang Sheng has begun to shift to "indifference".
