503 Commitments
"Genes, I'm really working hard."
All of a sudden, Figo's move to Liverpool changed. Real Madrid were going to send Figo away this season because Figo's salary was really too high. In addition, Figo's strength has also begun to decline, and Real Madrid wants to purge him.
At that time, Figo and Real Madrid had a verbal agreement in private. That is to let Figo leave for free, otherwise Figo's agent will not look for a home everywhere. Now that I finally have a unanimous decision with Liverpool, I didn't expect Real Madrid to backtrack. Liverpool approached Rister in the hope that he could help persuade Real Madrid.
Although Rist knew Florentino, Putragno and even Baldano, who had left Real Madrid, he did not have a deep friendship with them. The biggest relationship between Rist and Real Madrid is that Real Madrid's Asian trip in 03 was led by Rist. However, on this basis alone, Lister did not think that he could convince them, so he brought in Carvajal. Carvajal is the real Real Madrid's No. 1 agent.
Don't look at Florentino's constant suppression of Carvajal, but Carvajal's influence in Real Madrid is definitely not something that can be dissipated in a year or two. On the contrary, it has been declining on the surface in recent years, but the real strength has been rising. Florentino also wants to give him face, because Carvajal is no longer a simple agent, but has formed a huge industrial chain and a huge chain of interests with Real Madrid members, Spanish media, and Spanish business circles. Such an agent is Florentino who also has to give enough face.
"Tell me, Genes. Florentino shouldn't be a man of the penny, a transfer fee of two million pounds? He was too embarrassed to ask for it. This is simply too embarrassing for Real Madrid. The joke doesn't go that way. ”
Lister was really crying and laughing. It's not 20 million pounds, 2 million pounds is not bullshit for Real Madrid. How could Real Madrid make people laugh so shamefully and ask Liverpool to pay a transfer fee of two million pounds, it is so humiliating. It's not a naked sarcasm Figo, and it's about embarrassing yourself.
"Huh."
Carvajal laughed when he heard Rist's words, shook his head, and said, "You don't understand. That's the case with Florentino, and he didn't have a crush on the two million pounds. Figo was the first superstar he brought in, and he couldn't get over it when he asked him to send Figo away for free. But now Figo is not worth anything at all, and he also needs to get rid of Figo quickly. Two million pounds. It's just that he casually said. ”
Real Madrid need to get rid of Figo. This, of course, Rist understands. Figo's annual salary of up to 6 million euros, plus taxes, Real Madrid has to pay more than 10 million euros a year. And Robinho is coming soon, and Florentino is going to deal with Figo in a hurry. Give his number 10 shirt to Robinho.
"Figo's salary is a huge burden for any club. And Figo is thirty-two years old. Liverpool are willing to pay Figo £65,000 a week. Definitely the best in European football. No club would give such a high salary. If there is no agreement with Liverpool, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to send Figo away. ”
In fact, what Lister doesn't know is that Real Madrid has historically made this nonsensical request. In the end, the negotiations between Liverpool and Figo were completely lost. And then there is no club that can get such a high salary, and Figo will not allow himself to suffer too much. After all, Figo loves money and will not let himself be lost.
In the end, Inter packed up and took Samuel and Figo. However, Inter are not willing to pay Figo's annual salary of 6 million euros, and can only give Figo an annual salary of 3 million euros at most. How could Figo agree, Figo is not leaving, and there is still a contract for development and Real Madrid. In order to transfer Figo as soon as possible, Florentino had no choice but to post 3 million euros to make up for Figo's loss.
"Lister, Liverpool are not short of this money. How good it would be to give two million pounds directly and end such a lawsuit as soon as possible. ”
Carvajal also sneered at Liverpool. How much money Liverpool has earned in the past two years because of the Champions League title, two million pounds is not money at all. Just after the Champions League final, Liverpool signed their captain Steven Gerrard to a new contract of £100,000 a week for five years.
Liverpool is not short of money now, so why bother with two million pounds. How good it would be to give it to Real Madrid and then quickly settle this transfer. After all, although Figo is thirty-two years old, Milan wanted Figo just last year, and Milan was willing to give tens of millions of euros at that time. It's just that Florentino went even further, asking for a transfer fee of 30 million euros. A year has passed, and even two million pounds to win Figo is a benefit. Figo used to be the European Footballer of the Year and was one of the best stars in European football.
Florentino thinks it's a shame to send Figo away for free, and Liverpool even more so. Real Madrid is one of the top giants in Europe, and so is Liverpool. You also know the character of the English, who basically have a hard time changing their opinions. Negotiating with the English, they have no tactfulness at all. The Liverpool club thinks that Real Madrid looks down on them Liverpool, so Liverpool will never pay this money. ”
At the moment, England has the largest number of brokers in Europe. Homegrown agents are some of the best in the world, and they are scattered all over the world of English football. But the England agent was not very good. With the exception of a few people, the rest of the agents didn't do well.
The biggest problem is that a lot of clubs don't like them. Because they just don't know how to give in. When it comes to renewing the contract for their players, they ask for 50,000 pounds is 50,000 pounds, and they don't know how to make concessions. Unlike continental brokers, they know what to say and what to say on what occasions.
In fact, not only agents, but also English clubs. They rarely get along, they are what they have to be, and that's the case with Liverpool right now. Don't say two million pounds, even if it is two hundred thousand pounds, Liverpool FC will not come out. This is one of their principles.
"A lot of things in the world are because of their own face. Let's go, I've made an appointment with Florentino. Convince him and you'll be fine. ”
…………
"Hello Lister."
It's a restaurant in the heart of Madrid, nothing else. It's Florentino, Carvajal, and the other is Rist.
"Hello, Chairman Perez."
Florentino has had a rough time lately. His superstar policy began to slowly break down, and of course he realised that Real Madrid needed a balance between attack and defence. Then they began to bring in defensive players, including Samuel, who was on a tie with Nesta in Serie A, and also came to Real Madrid. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's problem is not the lack of good defensive players at all, but the problem of the whole tactical thinking.
Therefore, even buying defensive players is useless. So Real Madrid's results are getting worse and worse, and Baldano has been forced to resign, but he still hasn't recovered Real Madrid's results. However, Real Madrid's business has not been delayed without any delays.
This summer, Real Madrid will go to Asia, to go on an Asian tour. This was arranged by Lister and AutoNavi together. Although Real Madrid's Asian tour has not yet started, Rist and AutoNavi expect to make a profit of more than 10 million euros this time. In addition to the Asian and North American tours, Real Madrid's total revenue is expected to reach 23 million euros.
"Chairman Perez, I'm here today for Figo's business."
"Luis, is there a problem? Two million pounds, I don't think Liverpool should have a problem. ”
Florentino's results were not good, and the players he brought in were becoming less and less successful, so he was impetuous. Back then, he was tired of bringing in Figo, but now he has to send him away. He was very unwilling.
"President Perez, with your status, with Real Madrid's status, why bother? Saying it will make people laugh, and it will also chill the hearts of other superstars. ”
"Lister, two million pounds is money."
Seeing Florentino's smiling face, Rist pursed his lips. Then he looked at Florentino and said: "President Perez, you don't lack this money, and Real Madrid doesn't lack this money." There is no contradiction between Real Madrid and Liverpool, and Real Madrid may also have to bring in reinforcements from Liverpool in the future. Why bother making trouble for a little money? ”
Florentino didn't speak, but kept looking at Rist. Florentino understands that now Lister has stepped in for Liverpool and brought in Carvajal. Florentino had asked for two million pounds, some of which were angry. I didn't want to offend Liverpool, but also offended Carvajal and Lister, which is completely worth the loss.
But he is the president of Real Madrid after all, and his company is the largest construction company in Europe. He is a person with status and status, so he himself has a good face, and he can't swallow back what he says, how embarrassing. He's going to hear what Rist comes up with to make himself back in.
"David. Silva, San Diego. Cazorla, Joaquin, these three players under the same conditions I am willing to give priority to Real Madrid. ”
Rist slowly became Liverpool's chief agent, helping Liverpool bring in reinforcements in the transfer market. In the process, Rist got a lot of benefits. Since he has obtained the benefits, of course Rist has to get things done. If you can't get things done, it will damage Rist's prestige.
As for putting David. Silva, Cazorla, Joaquín gave priority to Real Madrid, and Rister was not worried at all. It's just a fictitious promise, and of course if Real Madrid were really willing to give Rister the same terms, Rister would have agreed. After all, promises should be kept.
"Is this your promise?"
When a person of Rist's level says it, it's not bragging. In the future, when the same conditions are met, of course Rist will hand them over to Real Madrid. Florentino was considering Rist's suggestion. Silva, Cazorla, and Joaquín don't have a chance now, but they are all talented players in Spain, and they may be the leaders of Spanish football in the future. In a few years, Real Madrid may really want to bring them in.
It's also good to ditch the transfer fee that is impossible to get your hands on and get a commitment for the future. Florentino nodded slowly and said, "Lister, since you are here, I will think about it when I go back." ”
"Thank you, Chairman Perez." (To be continued......)
