PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "Cristiano Ronaldo" for his tip.
It didn't take long for the conversation to begin before Gaspart figured out the reason why his captain planned to transfer to Real Madrid from Figo's rambling account and Lexach's additions - when Real Madrid's presidential election was in full swing, Florentino and Figo himself had a bet to the effect that if Florentino was elected president of Real Madrid, Figo would pay the other party a huge sum of up to $30 million!
To say that this is also Figo's own prodigy, who asked him to covet the $300,000 that Florentino took the initiative to hand over, but he directly fell into the trap set by the other party, and he can only be at the mercy of others now, without the slightest strength to fight back.
After learning the truth of the matter, Gaspat felt a headache, he didn't expect that Figo's quest for a transfer would be such a powerless reason to complain!
"John (Gasparter), what do we do now? Do you choose to keep Luiz, or do you follow his wishes and send him to those Madridians? This was the question that Lexach had raised after the end of his call with Figo, and emotionally he did not want to send his captain into the hands of a mortal enemy who did not share the world.
"It stands to reason that Figo has violated the rules of the club by making contact with other senior officials without the club's permission, and with the fact that he has made such a big basket this time, I think we should refuse his request and impose a ban on him." Gaspat took a deep breath and opened his mouth to utter such a pile of nonsense.
That's right, don't look at this very harsh words, in fact, Gaspat only dares to say it in words, and has absolutely no intention of putting it into action. After all, if Barcelona really dares to impose an indefinite ban on Figo, then Barcelona's reputation among the players will be completely ruined - just the player who wants to leave the team will be banned from the team, who would choose to join such a club without fear of becoming a second Figo?
Lexage was obviously aware of this, so he tacitly did not continue the topic, but changed the conversation and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, if we still want to keep Figo, then we should think about how to solve this problem." ”
"What's the solution? Do you want the club to pay Luis for him to pay this huge sum of up to 30 million US dollars? Gasparter said self-deprecatingly, apparently not promising much on the idea, "and it would be even more unfeasible, and not to mention that Figo and Florentino made a private bet that it was not right in itself, and we have no reason to wipe the ass of this money-hungry Portuguese." And, even if we fill the hole for him this time, it would be the equivalent of Figo owing us a huge debt of up to $30 million...... Think about it, with Figo's current income level, how many years of work will he have to pay us back this money? ”
Gaspart's words are not wrong, after all, no matter what, 30 million US dollars is a huge amount of money, although Barcelona is one of the top giants in Spain, it is impossible to give Figo so much money for nothing. You must know that when Platini joined Juventus, the transfer could not be carried out because the Bianconeri and Saint-Etienne negotiated the transfer fee inappropriately, and in the end, it was the French king who made up the difference out of his own pocket to realize his dream of Serie A.
Even Juventus, which has the support of the Agnelli family, will fight with Saint-Etienne for more than a million francs, and wants to let the unconditional friendship of the membership-based Barcelona support Figo for 30 million dollars? It's a bit too whimsical......
So, judging from the current situation, in a situation where Barcelona is impossible to pay this liquidated damages for Figo, and it is impossible for Figo and his agent friend to go to jail together for breach of contract, letting the Portuguese go is obviously the only path they can choose!
"Since we can't keep Luiz, we have to sell him to Real Madrid." Speaking of this, Lexage angrily slammed the table in front of him and let out a loud noise, "We all underestimated Florentino!" This guy is just too cunning! I am really unwilling to poach Luis by such despicable means, and we can only give away the player he fancies! John, you have to make Real Madrid pay enough for this! ”
"That's right, even if we can't keep Figo, we must let the damn Real Madrid pay all the liquidated damages on Figo's contract at once, not a single one!" Gaspar agreed with Rexage's words and, having accepted the fact of Figo's departure, he is now considering how to use the transfer fee from the sale of Figo to bring in some reinforcements to make up for the vacuum left by the Portuguese's departure on the right flank.
Of course, for Florentino, who had just sold Real Madrid's sports city to the Madrid city government for $433 million, the liquidated damages were really not worth mentioning. In other words, the high liquidated damages of 10 billion pesetas on Figo's contract are also part of his plan!
So, when the smoke of Crespo's transfer to Lazio has not completely dissipated, Real Madrid held a press conference on July 24, which once again caused a magnitude nine earthquake in European football!
At the press conference, the new Real Madrid president Florentino announced with a smile in the onlookers of the news media that Luis Figo, who led the Portuguese national team all the way to the semifinals in the just-concluded European Championship, will be a part of Real Madrid from now on!
The reporters present were all shocked by the news announced by Florentino, and their first reaction was not to ask Figo's worth, but to open their mobile phones to see if it was April Fool's Day? Is the president of Real Madrid in front of him crazy, how could Figo, who is the captain of Barcelona, join Real Madrid, isn't this an international joke!
However, when these reporters found out that what Florentino said was indeed the truth, and Real Madrid paid a transfer fee of up to 10 billion pesetas (about 56.1 million US dollars) to the Catalan giants in order to bring in the double captain of Portugal and Barcelona, there were bursts of exclamations at the press conference - no one could have imagined that Crespo, who had held the transfer fee record for less than half a month, would be broken by Figo so lightly!
Real Madrid fans cheered upon the news and poured into the streets to cheer for Florentino, who had fulfilled his campaign promise. Real Madrid fans don't care that Figo was still a Barcelona player before, for them, with a top player like Figo joining, the strength of the team will inevitably rise to a higher level, and the suppression of the sworn enemy Barcelona, whose strength has been greatly weakened, is just around the corner!
