"Rist, I've been busy lately."

"Sort of."

Coming to see Arneson today, Rist found that Arneson's expression was not very good, and he even frowned. Rist thought about the current situation in the Eredivisie and had a plan in mind.

As Rist has to keep going around in European football, Rist has a clear understanding of the information of European football. Rist's current judgment of European football is even better than that of professional football journalists. Because a lot of football reporters focus on one or two professional leagues, but Rist wants to know everything.

Unlike those football journalists, Rist's company has specialized people who analyze the leagues and then hand them over to them to summarize the haode stuff. Although Rist is very busy every day, he still finds time to read and study these materials. So also know the current situation in the Eredivisie.

Ajax are the club most hit by the Bosman Act among the Eredivisie teams. Especially before the Boseman Act, Ajax's golden generation had the highest strength in European football, if not to say that it swept European football. But after the Boseman Act, those talented players left Ajax one by one. It's not impossible to leave, but the problem is that a lot of them are free transfers and don't leave any money for Ajax.

Ajax, who were suddenly hit, were caught off guard, and their response was far inferior to PSV Eindhoven. As the biggest club in the Netherlands, Ajax is even in deep debt. There are already rumours that Ajax is preparing to go public as a way to raise money to tide over the storm. That's where Ajax is right now. But what drove Arneson mad was that. Such an Ajax is now pressing PSV Eindhoven. Not only has PSV Eindhoven been pressed in the league, but they have also reached the final in the Dutch Cup. This made Arneson, who had a strong desire to control, very angry.

He couldn't tolerate Ajax being able to hold PSV Eindhoven down after such a blow. PSV Eindhoven as a whole has been a failure this season, because PSV not only can't beat Ajax, but even Feyenoord has run above PSV Eindhoven. As a result, Arneson has been on the move before the end of the season in preparation for the start of next season.

"How? Has the business competition been settled? ”

"There are some developments, and I believe there shouldn't be too many problems."

Arneson sighed and said with envy: "Actually, we in Eindhoven also want to play in China. ”

Rist didn't reply. Because the influence of the Eredivisie is too low, if it was before the Bosman Act, if it was PSV Eindhoven, the treble team led by Hiddink, there was no problem. But now the Eredivisie doesn't have any fans in China. The current Eredivisie is still a little famous with its previous aftermath, but the Eredivisie will get worse and worse. In the future, even PSV Eindhoven and Ajax are compared to some of the middle teams in Europe's top five leagues. The attraction is much worse.

Or there are some fans who also follow the Dutch club. But that's already a niche. With many Premier League fans, Serie A fans, La Liga fans, and Bundesliga fans, the number of Eredivisie fans is completely negligible.

"That's a lot. Lister, it's easy for me to find you today. Ludo. The Van Nistelrooy thing. ”

Reesette nodded. Prior to arriving at Heerenveen, Ruud van Nistelrooy played in the Dutch second division as an attacking attacker. Later, after Heerenveen, he started to play as a central striker. The performance can't be said to be amazing. But it also exceeded many people's expectations. Fourteen goals were scored in a season in a small team like Heerenveen. Including the Dutch Cup matches, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a total of seventeen goals.

That's good enough. Even Feyenoord told Lister about their interest in Ruud van Nistelrooy. But Rist has been dragging his feet, just to wait for Arneson. Ruud van Nistelrooy is the best fit for PSV Eindhoven at the moment. Not because of Rist's memory, but because of Rist's careful analysis.

First of all, Ruud van Nistelrooy has to enter the big three in the Netherlands. Feyenoord is still dormant and has not done as well as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. And Feyenoord has been suppressed by Ajax and PSV Eindhoven for some time to come. And Ajax is a grave for a centre-forward like Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ajax need strikers like Bergkamp and Kluivert who can shoot and pass, and who can return to midfield to receive such strikers. And not a pure shooter like Vanney.

Therefore, among the three big teams in the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven is the most suitable for Ruud van Nistelrooy. Coupled with the relationship between Rist and Arneson, Rist of course wants Ruud van Nistelrooy to join PSV Eindhoven.

"Frank, that's a good idea. What is the relationship between us, I will definitely give you priority. ”

Rist said it lightly, as if he could give it to Arneson for nothing. But Arneson knew in his heart that without giving Rister enough benefits, Rister would never be able to easily let Ruud van Nistelrooy transfer to PSV Eindhoven. Although the two men have a good personal relationship, Rister will only give himself priority at most when the conditions are equal. But he will definitely not give up the benefits he gets.

"Lister, I've been in contact with the Heerenveen club before I got in touch with you. But their asking price was so outrageous that the Heerenveen Club actually asked for tens of millions of dollars. Isn't that a joke? ”

Speaking of this, Arneson has some unpleasantness. He thinks that the Heerenveen club would dare to blackmail him, and although Arneson would love to take Ruud van Nistelrooy, the tens of millions of dollars are a complete joke. Such an outrageous price would not have come out in the Netherlands.

Rist also smiled when he heard the transfer value of tens of millions of dollars. Heerenveen FC is really poor, and although Ruud van Nistelrooy has performed well this season, there are really some fanciful things about tens of millions of dollars. However, although Lister had some contempt for the Heerenveen club, he was secretly happy in his heart. The Heerenveen Club is so powerful, I love the top of the Heerenveen Club so much.

Because the higher they shout, the better it will be for Rist. Because when the time comes, in order to bargain with the Heerenveen club, PSV Eindhoven will rely more on Riester. A lot of clubs want to buy players when they do. It's all about contacting the player's agent and then pressing the player's price. Now that Lister has not made any moves, the Heerenveen club has shouted such a high price, and Lister has a lot of room to operate. In this way, Lister will have more profit in the middle. So Rist smiled and looked straight at Arneson.

Arneson watched Rist's reaction while talking, and after finding that Rist had no expression, he could only secretly scold Rist for being a little fox. Now the Heerenveen club dares to propose tens of millions of dollars, not because they are insatiable, but because there are many clubs that Ruud van Nistelrooy is pursuing now. That's why they dare to offer high prices.

"Rist, we can't afford to give tens of millions of dollars. But you also know that there have not been tens of millions of dollars in transfers within the Eredivisie. Ten million dollars is too high. ”

"Yes, tens of millions of dollars is outrageous."

Rist was very insincere in agreeing with Arneson's words. However, Arneson is right, and the highest transfer in Dutch football has not yet exceeded $5 million. Tens of millions of dollars came at once. It's too much. Although there is a Bosman Act, it should not be so.

"Frank. Tell us what you think. ”

Rist and Arneson were both old foxes, and they had already understood their thoughts when they began to speak. But to continue, Arneson smiled and said: "Lister, Ruud van Nistelrooy is your player. We in Eindhoven are very sincere. But a transfer fee of tens of millions of dollars is not acceptable. ”

"Rist. Help us Eindhoven to bring the price of Vanney down. How much to drop. Of course, we have enough sincerity to hand it over to you. ”

Rist looked at Arneson and nodded. Rist didn't talk to Arneson about how much money, because Rist wanted to see how Arneson would give Rist money. There are certain rules in the industry for this kind of thing.

"Frank, don't worry. I'll work with PSV Eindhoven. He will be PSV Eindhoven's player next season. ”

…………

"Mr. Czerny. What do you mean by that? ”

Zomer looked at Rist with a cold face. Faced with Zommer's cold face, Rist sat there without any reaction. Slowly picked up the coffee in his hand and took a simple sip. Then he looked at Zomer and said with a smile: "Mr. Zommer, Rude's matter is very simple. His future is not in Heerenveen, you know it, I know it, everyone knows that. Ten million dollars is just a casual statement from you, and I'm sure Mr. Zommer doesn't really think Ruud is worth tens of millions of dollars. ”

Zommer is Heerenveen's sporting director, and for Lister he is nothing more than the top of a small club. Therefore, Lister did not believe that Zomer dared to force Vanney to stay. However, Rist didn't want to offend the Heerenveen club too much, because maybe everyone would have a chance to work together in the future.

"Mr. Zommer, I'll tell you the truth. I asked Ruud to come to Heerenveen because he wasn't qualified enough to go to PSV Eindhoven at the time. Of course, I am very grateful for the development of Ruud at Heerenveen Club. So I'm not going to let Heerenveen suffer the club, but Eindhoven won't accept it if it's too outrageous. ”

Rist even beat him, and finished saying what he had to say. Zomer smiled wryly. Rist had come today to tell him that Vanney had to go to Eindhoven. If the Heerenveen Club doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, just break up.

Lister is not the most powerful among the players, and one less Vanney is not too much of a loss. But the Heerenveen club didn't have that much confidence to dare to ban Ruud van Nistelrooy. Because this will not only turn against PSV Eindhoven and Riester, but even raise players like Vanney. They are small clubs, they don't have that kind of strength.

So Zomer said: "Mr. Czerny, we are a small club. Ruud is our best player and we want to get the reward we deserve. ”

"There's no problem with that. PSV Eindhoven will not skimp on transfer fees, but the sky-high price will not be accepted. ”

In the whole negotiation process, Rist was in absolute advantage. This is the liliang of these brokers after the Boseman Act. However, when he arrived in Zuihou, Rist still smiled and said to Zommer: "Mr. Zommer, in fact, after the Bosman Act, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven have become star processing plants, not to mention the Heerenveen Club." Actually, I have a lot of talented players in my hands, and if things go well with Ruud this time, then I hope to continue this pattern. I'm going to give you a talented player, and after a season or two, you're going to sell him to a big club like PSV Eindhoven. Isn't it beneficial for both of us to do so? ”

Zimmer Zuihou agrees with Rist's idea. With Rist's ability, there will be more opportunities to cooperate with the Heerenveen club in the future. Regardless of Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer, the Heerenveen club made a lot of money. This model is indeed very suitable for a small Eredivisie club like Heerenveen. As a result, the Zuihou Heerenveen club began to give in. In fact, everyone understands that Vanney can't keep it, and the Heerenveen club just wants more money. Therefore, everyone began to negotiate a contract that was acceptable.

Tens of millions of dollars is impossible, and the price starts to be reduced non-stop.

Nine million dollars, that's still too high. Eight million dollars, still very high. Arneson and Rist kept putting pressure on the Heerenveen club, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's value also dropped again and again. However, this is definitely not Arneson and Lister who are dominating people, but the Heerenveen Club is really a lion's mouth. After all, Ruud van Nistelrooy has only played in the Eredivisie for one season, and he is not the kind of center forward who scores goals in the Eredivisie. The value is not too outrageous, so it is impossible for Arneson to pay such a high transfer fee to Vanney.

It kept going down, it kept going down, and when it came to six million dollars, the Heerenveen Club didn't want to go down anymore. A player like Ruud van Nistelrooy would have been worth up to two or three million dollars, or maybe even less than two million dollars, two or three years ago, before the Boseman Act.

But what time is it? The price of players is rising, from 1 million players to 3 million, 5 million players to 10 million, 10 million players to 20 million. They believe that Vanney's worth of six million dollars is already the lowest. So the Heerenveen club is unwilling to cut the price, and six million dollars is already their bottom line.

Arneson almost agreed with the price, and everyone slowly agreed. The $6 million Ruud van Nistelrooy will be PSV Eindhoven's player next season.

The Heerenveen Club is making a lot of money. Ruud van Nistelrooy helped Heerenveen to a good ranking in the Eredivisie over the course of a year, and now he has sold another six million dollars, which is a lot of money. So after the talk, Zomer shook Rist's hand and said with a smile: "There are good players and don't forget our club. (To be continued......)
