Atletico Madrid won the league trophy, after which the Copa del Rey and Champions League final remained. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole team is in full swing to prepare for the battle.

For many teams, the season is basically over, the work of the new season is about to begin, the most important job at the end of the season is nothing more than transfers, if you want to buy good players, you must make a move earlier.

It's May, and the biggest news in European football comes from Ligue 2.

Monaco is a special team in the French league because they belong to the Principality of Monaco – a tiny principality with a population of just 30,000. The Principality of Monaco is not part of France, and many French team rules do not apply in Monaco.

After Monaco was bought by Russian oligarch Rybonorev, all the media paid attention, and they knew that Monaco must be going on a buying spree to bring in more good players to increase the squad in preparation for the new season and prepare for the Ligue 1 campaign.

Monaco FC has a considerable advantage when it comes to transfers, as they are able to offer huge salaries to players without fear of burdening the club's wage system.

This is because of the Principality of Monaco's zero-income tax policy.

As early as 1868, the then Grand Duke Charles III of Monaco announced the abolition of "almost all direct taxes" throughout the country, compared with the high taxes of 45% in Germany and Spain and 43% in Italy, the exemption of personal income tax has become the main reason for attracting many stars. F1 car king Schumacher, former ATP overlord Federer and others have all chosen to move to Monaco in order to avoid the country's high taxes.

The Monaco club is divided into two types of players, one is French and the other is foreign.

French players need the club to pay taxes to the French government, and foreign players do not need to pay taxes to the French government, they only adapt to the 'zero tax' policy of the Principality of Monaco.

If a foreigner plays for another Ligue 1 team and receives an annual salary of one million euros, he will only receive about 570,000 euros after tax, while as a foreign player, he does not have to pay taxes at Monaco club, and he will receive more than 950,000 euros.

That's what sets Monaco apart from other French league teams.

Such a difference will naturally cause displeasure among other French teams, and even the French Football Federation, but this is the policy of the Principality of Monaco, and they will not change the reality at all.

With the financial backing of Russian oligarch Rybonorev, the Monaco club began a steady stream of acquisitions, and the first thing they valued was Falcao, who had performed very well in the Champions League.

There have been rumours that many clubs are interested in Falcao, but Atletico Madrid's response has not been tough, and there is a high possibility that Falcao will leave, and at the beginning of May, Monaco made another move, raising their transfer offer to 70 million euros.

At the same time, Monaco also used money to convince Falcao himself.

That's a bit of a bad deal for Falcao's reputation, but it's the way it is, and no star is willing to join a second division team all things being equal.

The conditions are too different to be different.

Monaco have prepared a blockbuster five-year contract with an annual salary of up to 14 million euros, which directly convinced Falcao and his agent Mendes.

At present, the highest annual salary player in world football is Eto'o, the former Barcelona goalscorer signed with the Russian Premier League Anzhi Makhachkala in 2011, although Anzhi Makhachkala did not announce Eto'o's detailed annual salary, but according to European media analysis, Eto'o's annual salary is as high as 20.5 million euros, and he has become the world's highest-paid footballer.

If Falcao can move to Monaco, he will get the 'second highest salary' contract.

At present, C-Ronaldo's annual salary in Real Madrid is 12 million euros, while Messi's annual salary in Barcelona is 10.5 million euros.

The next step is to negotiate between the two clubs.

Atletico Madrid couldn't believe it when they received a transfer offer from Monaco, with 70 million euros coming in second, with Monaco – a Ligue 2 side at the key.

The club's transfer director Deng Kai confirmed again and again that he was sure that the other party had not quoted the wrong price, and then he learned from Mendes that Falcao was willing to transfer to Monaco.

Deng Kai hurriedly told Wansheng the news, "70 million euros!" 70 million euros! Falcao agreed! ”

Wan Sheng was not surprised to get the news.

In the previous life, Monaco's big money was amazing, and his butterfly effect did not affect the French league, since the Monaco club was willing to pay a high price for Falcao, and Falcao himself agreed, it didn't matter if Atletico Madrid did.

The two clubs quickly reached an agreement to quickly finalize the heavyweight transfer.

On the eve of the last round of the league, Wan Sheng and Falcao's agent Mendes met, and the two have met a lot of times, and every time they meet, Wan Sheng has an urge to tear this guy's mouth apart, not because the other party has a bad mouth, but because the other party speaks in a tone, but always full of persuasion.

Wansheng doesn't like to deal with such guys, but in the European transfer market, the role of the agent is very large.

Wansheng does not treat Mendes as a guest, nor will he be innocent of the opposite, and Falcao and J Rodriguez are both players signed by Mendes.

From a neutral point of view, Mendes is a genius indeed.

In 2004, Mendes sent a number of players and Jose Mourinho to Chelsea to win the UEFA Champions League with Porto, Portugal.

Mendes himself completed the first outburst of his career.

After that, Mendes's most successful operation was the transfer of C-Ronaldo, who was the agent of C-Ronaldo, and C-Ronaldo was sent to Real Madrid by him.

The transfer caused a global sensation.

Since then, Mendes has also become the most powerful agent in Europe.

Mendes' Gestifute now has more than 50 players and coaches, and in terms of players, C-Ronaldo, Falcao, Coentrão, Di Maria, Nani, J Rodriguez and others are all under his umbrella, and the most famous manager is Mourinho.

The European football agent industry is actually a gold rush industry, and many agents want to make money completely by luck, and after operating a big transfer, they are not doing it well.

In this environment, Mendes has been able to do this absolutely unprecedentedly.

Even the most lucrative professional player is hard to compare with Mendes, who is Europe's No.1 in the agent industry and no one is more influential.

For ordinary football coaches, Mendes doesn't look at it squarely, but he is very polite to Wansheng.

Speaking of influence, Wan Sheng is much higher than him.

Wan Sheng is not an ordinary football training, he is also the largest shareholder of the Tagore Wan Group, one of the richest people in the world, and in terms of European football, there are many opportunities for him to cooperate with Wan Sheng.

The two negotiated a transfer for Falcao.

Mendes also wants to get some insider information, such as what players need to be brought in for Atletico Madrid in the summer, which will be very helpful for his work in the summer.

During the conversation between the two, Mendez always inquired about the news 'indirectly'.

Wansheng is much more direct.

'That's it for Falcao's transfer and I'm sure it's going to be a pleasure to work with. Now let's talk about something else, like your players......"

"Who?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria!"

"That can't be!"

"One will do."

"Mr. Florentino will not agree, and you should know that there is an agreement between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid." Mendes was referring to the agreement between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, in which both sides pledged not to poach each other and to abide by it.

Actually, that's just on the surface.

Even if there are restrictions in the agreement, there are actually poaching people between the two clubs, such as Raul who went to Real Madrid indirectly, he was originally trained in the Atletico Madrid academy, and Reyes also went to Real Madrid indirectly.

Half a month ago, Real Madrid also gave Falcao an offer of 60 million euros, they hoped to get Falcao from Atletico Madrid, at the time of the offer, Real Madrid must not have considered the agreement, or perhaps, they are actually not interested in Falcao, and they don't want to poach people from Atletico Madrid, so they are completely looking for trouble for Atletico Madrid.

Regardless, it is a bit complicated for a player to want to move between two clubs.

Just like Mendes' concerns, the two clubs never buy or sell players directly from each other.

"That might be." Wan Sheng smiled and said, "The agreement is just an agreement, there must be loopholes in it, and we can bring in a third-party club." In addition, if a player's contract expires and he wants to leave on a free transfer, it is not in the agreement, and the club cannot stop it. If you can convince one of them to join Atletico, I'll give you a blank cheque. ”

Mendes' eyes flashed with gold.

He always thought that the young Chinese in front of him were very picky, and he was never willing to pay large commissions and signing fees, and Falcao's transfer to Atletico Madrid was like this, and Atletico Madrid only came up with a signing fee of 2 million euros.

It seems that he was wrong before.

Falcao is not worth the young Chinese in front of him, he is more interested in Di Maria, or ...... C-Ronaldo? But it's too whimsical!

Mendes didn't think it was possible.

Real Madrid will not sell a star who has performed well, let alone to its rival Atletico Madrid, but as the Chinese in front of him said, "as long as the players agree, the club cannot stop it." ”

Is he going to try to do it?

Wan Sheng seemed to see through Mendes's thoughts, and said, "You can also see that in the past two seasons, we have won almost all the Spanish championships. Everyone is a champion, there will be no exceptions. If a star can't win a title with the team for a long time, then he will definitely want to leave and go to a club that can win the title. ”

Mendez nodded.

"That's the case with Real Madrid now, wasn't Florentino's 'what battleship' also disbanded? One by one, the stars have left for other teams. I'm sure Real Madrid won't win the title next season and their players will definitely have something else on their minds......"

"Atletico is the best place to go, we can give the players the title!"

Wansheng said confidently.

Mendez thought for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly, "I found that you are the most successful lobbyist." ”

――――

Wan Sheng negotiated with Mendes and wanted to buy Real Madrid's players, on the one hand, they really valued it, and on the other hand, they also made some trouble for Real Madrid, which can also be said to be revenge.

Before the news in the media, it was said that Real Madrid had taken a fancy to Atletico Madrid players.

Even if the media analyzes that the possibility of Atletico Madrid selling players to Real Madrid is too small, there is indeed a lot of news, and Falcao, Raul Garcia, Diego Costa, etc. are all said by the media to be 'favored by Real Madrid'.

If Real Madrid can do that, so can Atletico Madrid.

Wansheng started directly from the inside, and directly asked Mendes to bring a message to the players, saying that he fancied the other party and made some trouble for Real Madrid.

It would be great if the players could be moved to come to Atletico Madrid, and even if it didn't work in the slightest, Atletico Madrid had nothing to lose.

This summer, Atletico Madrid wants to buy Real Madrid players, of course, it is impossible, not to mention that players cannot transfer freely, even if they hope to join Atletico Madrid, the transfer also needs a 'third-party club', and after everything is ready, the completion of the transfer to Atletico Madrid will also be under a lot of public pressure.

So Wansheng's promise to Mendes is not the present, but the 'future'.

After Mendes and Wan Sheng talked, they began to arrange Falcao's transfer, and Monaco and Falcao soon reached a contract agreement.

From July, Falcao will not be an Atletico Madrid player.

After Atletico Madrid and Monaco reached a transfer agreement, the club completed a big thing, and Wan Sheng was also relieved.

The next big thing is the two finals.

Ahead of the Copa del Rey final, Atletico Madrid has one final league game against Villarreal, which is an away game.

A few years ago, Villarreal were a serious contender for Champions League qualification, but in the last two years they have begun to sink, and this season they have 'sunk to the bottom', so far they have only 41 points, sitting in the bottom of La Liga, and then Sporting Gijón and Racing Santander have already confirmed relegation.

There is still a glimmer of hope for Villarreal, who are just one point behind 16th-placed CF Granada.

The final round is the key to the relegation battle.

Granada CF's opponents are Rayo Vallecano, who are also in the relegation zone, and they have one more point than Granada CF, and there will certainly be a 'damaged' side in the clash between the two teams.

If Villarreal can get all three points, they will be able to avoid relegation.

On the contrary, if Villarreal can't get points, relegation will definitely be confirmed, and if they draw and get a point, it will depend on the performance of Granada CF, and their win-loss relationship with Granada CF is superior.

In order to avoid relegation, Villarreal will have to beat Atletico Madrid before the game. (To be continued.) )
