"Congratulations, Frank. Tottenham have a lot to offer next season. ”

The transfer fee negotiations for Hleb and Arshavin are not very easy. Actually, Fernando. Roig did not have a very clear request for Riester, that is, the two of them should add up to about 40 million euros. As for how much, it depends on Rist's ability.

Rist and Arneson are very knowledgeable people who have been in this business for many years. Although they are partners in such negotiations, they will never do things that both sides conceal and do in private. Because playing private and receiving that method is the lowest level in football. It's not that both of them are noble, and both of them understand the difference between public and private. In fact, the two of them are talking about it for the sake of interests, for the sake of long-term interests, and will not do the kind of thing that only cares about immediate interests.

What the two of them do in private is only a few hundred thousand euros, millions of euros, and the highest is only two million euros. But for the sake of such a small amount of money, the two of them took too much risk. Offending Tottenham and offending Villarreal, if two people are discredited, it is not worth it. One of the two is the No. 1 agent in European football, and the other is a club manager with a high reputation, and there is no shortage of money. If you add a few more zeros to the end, it becomes 200 million, 200 million, so that you can take a risk.

Eventually, Rist and Arneson came to an agreement. In reality, Hleb is much stronger than in history, in which Hleb only became famous in Stuttgart, became famous in Germany, and the transfer fee of the stingy Arsenal also exceeded 10 million euros. But now it's time for him to make a name for himself in La Liga, to make a name for himself in the Champions League. Arneson eventually paid £14 million to win Villarreal's Hleb.

As for the Arshavin data, it's too good. Arshavin's stats in Villarreal over the past few years have been nothing short of spectacular. This season's stats are even more impressive. The double-double stats have caught the eyes of many clubs in European football. The magnificence of the data made Arneson show more sincerity, and finally won Arshavin for 16.7 million pounds.

During the negotiations, Rist had to admit that Tottenham had money and courage. Because next season to play in the Champions League, Tottenham really spared no cost. Tottenham took these two players and spent more than £30 million. If you add in the negotiations with their agents and the signing fee for the players, it is estimated that it will cost more than 35 million pounds.

"It's just too much money spent."

Arneson shook his head. Although he was mentally prepared, 30 million pounds still made Arneson sigh. Tottenham haven't spent a lot of money over the years, but it's not a small amount. Arneson will have to spend more money this summer for next season's Champions League fixture.

'Tottenham's attacking line I think the whole Premier League is top-notch. It's also top in European football. ”

It's not Riester complimenting Tottenham. At present, Tottenham Hotspur has Berbatov, Robbie. Keane, Defoe. And Malouda, Jenas, Carrick, Muhammad. Diarra, plus Hleb, Arshavin and others who have just joined. It can be said that Tottenham's midfield is now about strength and strength, and the bench is about the bench. In terms of bench depth, even Manchester United is not as good as Tottenham in the Premier League.

"Rist. I won't hide it from you. Just one Champions League place. I will not be satisfied. Tottenham should at least be like Villarreal this season. A presence in the Champions League should shock European football. ”

Arneson is an ambitious man. He is not yet 50 years old and hopes to become the head of one of the top clubs in European football. Tottenham's current results are simply not enough to satisfy Arneson.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance on getting your wish."

This time the negotiation Lister was very satisfied. Because after this negotiation, Rist did not just help Arneson complete a transfer. With this transfer, he also stepped up his relationship with Villarreal. Of course, after these two transfers, Rister got more than 2 million euros just for the transfer fee.

And it's not over yet. Once the transfer is completed, Rist will also be able to get a share of those agents' commissions. After all, this transfer to Riester was a two-headed transfer. Even Hleb and Arshavin's agents need to mean meaning to Lister. Anyway, in this way, Rist can get at least more than three million euros.

Of course, Rist is not short of this money at the moment, but it is not a small amount of money. Three million euros, many small brokers can't get three million euros for a few years. English football is the European league with the largest number of agents, in addition to the previous agent predators, many ordinary player agents only earn hundreds of thousands of euros a year, and it is good to be able to make a living.

Just like the research institute's research on English football, the average agent wants to be a little more decent, at least have five ordinary players in the Premier League. But many agents in English football can't afford to have five average players, so they can make ends meet. The main reason is that a few agent predators monopolize most of the players, and many agents at the bottom cannot have a few players.

In English football, there are no more than twenty homegrown agents who can make more than a million pounds a year. If the transfer market is sluggish, then that number will be reduced to around ten. Even less than ten is possible.

Therefore, in English football, those who earn more than a million pounds a year are very good agents in English football. They either have a good number of players or they have some good players.

"Didi-Di-"

"Francisco, it's been a long time since I've been in touch. How do you think of me. ”

Calling Rist is the former president of Valencia, and Francisco, who was played by Soler like Rist. Royg. Although the contact between the two is not very frequent, after all, the two of them were a battle line back then. The two of them were pushed out of Valencia together, so they were comrades in the trenches. Rist had to support him, but he had lost a lot of things. So the friendship between the two did not have any effect.

"Got it, you wait for me."

Rist put down the phone and said to Arneson, "Frank, I'm going to Spain." ”

"Okay. You're busy with yours. ”

…………

"Francisco, it looks like you've been getting younger and younger in the past two years."

"I have nothing to do, I just play every day. I feel like I'm fat myself. ”

Francisco seemed to be in a good mood when he met Rist. After leaving Valencia in '01, Francisco. Roig just played every day and rarely cared about anything else.

"Why are you free to find me today?"

Formerly Francisco. Roig came to Rist to play. But this time he even called Lister back in England, there must be some other reason.

"Do you know the latest news from Valencia?"

"I haven't paid much attention lately, I just know that Valencia's results have been a mess in recent years."

Speaking of this, Lister gloated. Soler is definitely a loser, it should be said that he is a rich second generation who doesn't know anything. After Roig left Valencia and Benitez left England for the rest of the day, Soler began to wield power. He first swept out Ottie, an old courtier that his father had left for him.

Who is Ottie? That's the backbone of Valencia, so many of the club's top brass are willing to support Soler. It's because of Ottie. He was one of the main contributors to Valencia's success in the 21st century. But Soler kicked Otti out as soon as possible. Then he took sole reins and began to dictate in Valencia.

While Otti was in existence, Otti's abilities could help stabilize the situation in Valencia. By the time Otti got out, many of the high-level executives who had supported Solaire because of Otti had left. Then there was Soler's own rampant presence in Valencia. Finally playing Valencia is getting worse and worse.

At the time of Benitez leaving Valencia in '02. Valencia is also a powerhouse in European football. It's a European powerhouse that no giant club wants to meet. And 03 before Otti left Valencia. Although Valencia has begun to be turbulent, it is still a La Liga powerhouse and is still a La Liga powerhouse that can participate in the Champions League. Although with Benitez took Jankoller and Vicente. Valencia's results have dropped significantly, but they are still good.

But by the time Otti left, Valencia really started to be in turmoil. In the 0304 season, Valencia's results plummeted, and finally ranked ninth in La Liga, and did not even change a place in the League Cup. And the results in the season were too poor, so Soler fired the coach and replaced another one. The results were not good after changing to another one, so he fired the coach again.

In the 0405 season, that is, in the current season he appointed Ranieri, who had been a big performer in Valencia. It's a pity that many of the Italian players brought by Ranieri have performed poorly, and Valencia is still in the 14th place so far this season, and Ranieri has long been sacked by Soler.

The results are getting worse and worse, but Soler doesn't think he's wrong. Speaking of which, Soler also really likes Valencia, and he has invested a lot since he became president of Valencia in 01. In the past five years, although he has been very tormented, he has invested hundreds of millions of euros in order to buy players. When Ranieri first arrived in Valencia in the summer of '04, Soler spent more than 50 million euros for him to buy players.

The Soler family is rich, but they can't let him spend it like this. Valencia has been struggling to make ends meet every season and now owes more than hundreds of millions. Bancaja Bank in particular is the largest creditor and if this continues in Valencia, it is only a matter of time before the debt becomes 200 million euros.

In just four years, Valencia has fallen from a European powerhouse to the point it is now. Soler, the rich second generation, can't hold on to it himself.

"Now Juan is already panicking. In four years, in just four years, he lost more than 200 million in Valencia. And it goes on all the time. The Soler family can't afford to lose money like this. ”

Francisco. In his heart, Roig laughed at Soler, a loser. It is definitely a skill to be able to lose like this. The Soler family is rich, but they are not super-rich with a net worth of billions of euros, and the family does not have that much money. After losing more than 200 million in four years, it is okay to continue to lose 300 million or 400 million.

"Something's wrong."

Rist believes there must be something wrong with Valencia. Otherwise, Francisco. Roig wouldn't come to Rister either.

"The chaos of recent years has left Juan with a loss of face. Everyone blamed him, and he probably didn't want people to be so abusive. And you also know that real estate in Spain is in a slump right now, and the Soler family doesn't have that much money for him to splurge. So he was ready to sell his shares to Sogliano and make Sogliano the new chairman. ”

"Soliano? That is the vice president of Valencia? ”

"Yes."

Francisco. Roig nodded, then smiled sarcastically, "Soliano, he's something." It was only by virtue of his ability to speak that he became the vice-president of Valencia. What money does he have to swallow Juan's shares. The market value of that part of the shares is more than 70 million euros, and it is impossible to get it out of the sale of Sogliano. ”

Rist didn't understand at first. But listen to Francisco. Royg's words only understood. Soliano is fifty-two years old and just an ordinary person. However, this person can speak well and has strong communication skills. Like a scoundrel like Old Hill, Soliano is law-abiding. When the old Hill and the others started to make money in the real estate market, Soliano was working as a real estate agent.

In the late 90s, he set up a number of real estate agencies. It's a pity that with this intermediary company alone, his economic strength is limited. To be able to become Valencia's vice-president is to lobby Soler and show him that he has a way to sell the land that Valencia now owns, including the stadium, in order to alleviate Valencia's current debt. That's why he became the vice-president of Valencia.

Valencia has a lot of land on its hands, but unfortunately this is not the golden age of Spanish real estate. At that time, with such a large amount of land, it was really the richest of the rich. Unfortunately, the real estate market in Spain is very sluggish right now, and these plots of land cannot be sold at all. Soler had pinned his hopes on this eloquent Sogliano. Unfortunately, the entire real estate market is sluggish, and it is not something that can be changed by one or two people. So the land in Valencia has not been sold.

"You're ......"

"Soliano doesn't have money, but I do."

Listen to Francisco. Royg's words, Rist's heart was shocked. Soliano is just a small rich, and all his net worth can add up to tens of millions of euros, which is an overestimation of his strength. He has a few million euros, and he has tens of millions of euros. Such strength could not buy the shares in the hands of Soler, because those shares were worth more than 70 million euros. The reason why Soler trusted Soliano to take his shares was because he was a well-connected person and knew many bank executives and wealthy people. It should be no problem to bring in a few rich people and eat their own shares.

But look at Francisco. Roig meant, he already has some cooperation with Soliano behind his back. Soliano buys Rusell's shares with Roygue's money. Although Rist didn't know how Roig operated to keep Soler unaware, Rist believed that Roig had enough means.

"You said you moved Soriano?"

"He just wants money. I told him that if I became president of Valencia, I would give him all the land owned by Valencia FC. If he can find a buyer to sell, the club will give him a good return. ”

Francisco. Roig clearly looked down on Soliano, and was disdainful when he said his name. Rist knew that Roig looked down on someone like Soliano who betrayed his teammates for money. But Rist was very surprised, this kid Soliano is really powerful. He has nothing in his hands, but he is able to get the heirs of both Valencia families to cooperate with him. This kind of ability is not acceptable.

"You're going to re-enter Valencia?"

"Yes. Lister, I need your help. Valencia's results are a mess at the moment, and they need to be replaced. Only you can help me. ”

Rist shook his head and looked at Francisco. "If you re-enter Valencia, the first person you should be looking for is not me. ”

"Who's that?"

"Jaime. Ottie. (To be continued......)
