Twelve million dollars, Daniel. Levy's side didn't have any reason to refuse. In fact, in the past two years Daniel. Levy has even begun to have some regrets about entering South American football rashly. Because after investing in Colo Colo Club, there is no return money, and there is no training for Tottenham to use any players. Tens of millions of euros have been invested, but no benefits have been applied.

Now that there are clubs that want to buy Fernandes for 12 million dollars, of course it can't be better. At the beginning, Daniel. Levy invested in Colo Colo FC in order to bring a player development base to Tottenham. But after all these years Daniel. Levy understands that the investment of the Colo Colo club is too blind. Fortunately, with this transfer, Daniel. Levy was satisfied.

"Rist, there are still 12 million dollars in South American football."

and Daniel. After Levi met, Rist and Frank were left to meet with Frank. Arneson meets. Arneson was surprised that there could be such a transfer within South American football. If the South American giants have such financial resources, they will not let European clubs poach the main players of the South American giants at will. Because spending 12 million dollars to buy a 19-year-old player, even the European giants will be cautious.

And in recent years, the economy in South America has not been good, and South American football has also been affected. As a result, the value of South American players has dropped sharply, and once it is too expensive to buy players in South American football, it will be a loss-making transaction at that time.

"What is this. Corinthians have already secured another transfer, fifteen million dollars to acquire Boca's Carlos Tevez. ”

"Fifteen million dollars?"

Arneson shook his head. Arneson is certainly not surprised by the money, as he has sold more than €30 million in players during his time at PSV Eindhoven. But South American football has been in decline for a long time in the past ten years, and they have the courage to spend 15 million dollars. Tevez is also known to Arneson as a well-known talent in Argentine and even South American football.

If a European club buys Tevez, maybe the transfer fee is just that. I didn't expect Corinthians to be able to spend so much money, are Corinthians rich? Whether it's a Brazilian giant, an Argentine giant, or a fart money.

"Frank, you probably didn't pay attention to the Corinthians. The investor in Corinthians this time was Kia, an Englishman with Iranian nationality. Hobrachin. His company is in London and is called MSI. This company is not famous, but the boss behind him is not a small person. Do you know who it is? ”

MSI is only now a new owner of Corinthians. And it's not well-known in European football. And even more so Hobrachin, who Arneson didn't know. In recent times, Arneson has just been busy with Tottenham and has not paid attention to this aspect. Therefore, he is not very familiar with MSI.

"Who?"

"Berezovsky, Abramovich."

"Berezovsky? Abramovich? ”

Arneson was taken aback. When I first heard about MSI, Arneson wasn't really impressed. I didn't expect there to be such an oligarch behind him.

Berezovsky and Abramovich became famous in Europe because of the lawsuit. Needless to say, Abramovich has spent around £500 million in his two years at Chelsea. And Berezovsky, as Abramovich's former boss, is not small at all. They are all super-rich people worth billions of pounds, but they didn't expect the two of them to be shareholders in this company.

"If you think about it, they're shareholders. The financial strength of MSI is conceivable. ”

"Is it money laundering?"

Arneson immediately thought of this. Don't say it's Corinthians. Even Chelsea are spending a lot of money right now. There are also suspicions that money laundering is behind it. Rist shrugged. Then he smiled and said, "I don't care if they launder money or not." Just give the club enough transfer fees, give me enough commissions, give my players enough salaries, and what does it matter to me as for money laundering. I'm just an agent. It has nothing to do with money laundering syndicates. ”

"Yes, yes."

Arneson nodded. Rist is just an agent, and how Hobrachin launders money has nothing to do with Rist.

'Lister, it's not a strategy for Chelsea. Chelsea want to use Corinthians to collect talented players in South America. ”

Arneson was worried. Chelsea's strength at the moment is palpable, and Chelsea have been quite strong this season. It was so strong that it pulled down Arsenal, who were second and last season's Premier League champions, by more than 10 points, and it didn't look like it was over at all. Chelsea are already in the last four of the Champions League and the league title is assured. Coupled with Chelsea's strong financial prowess, Arneson knows no club will be able to win Chelsea for years to come.

Arneson's goal at Tottenham is not just to secure a Champions League spot. What Arneson wants is for Tottenham to become a Premier League powerhouse, a team capable of competing for the Premier League title. Chelsea are too strong. There is not the slightest benefit to his future strategy.

"That's exactly what it started with."

Arneson is really a smart person, and he immediately thinks of problems related to himself. Rist did not hide it, and said directly: "Hobrachin's entry into Brazilian football is indeed for this reason, and Abramovich has a strategy in this regard." It's a pity that Berezovsky and Abramovich fell out, and Khobrachin chose Berezovsky. ”

"Good. That's great. ”

Arneson couldn't help but pat his thigh. The tremendous pressure that had just been put on him disappeared in an instant. If Chelsea had a dedicated South American channel, Chelsea would be a real booster by then.

"Okay, don't talk about that. Rist is looking for you today for the two of Villarreal, Hleb and Arshavin. Now that Villarreal have been eliminated from the Champions League, I think these two transfers should be made as soon as possible. ”

Arneson was in a hurry. Because Villarreal has performed well in La Liga and the Champions League this season, many of Villarreal's players have begun to attract huge attention. Many big clubs have also started to pay attention to Hleb and Arshavin.

Speaking of which, Tottenham are not dominant. Tottenham have played in the Champions League once in their history and will be in the Champions League for the second time next season. It's not as good as Villarreal who have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season.

However, Tottenham have one advantage that many of the best teams in other leagues can't match. That is money, Premier League clubs generally have money, and Tottenham is one of the representatives of money. Although it is not as good as Chelsea and Manchester United, Tottenham's salary is also one of the best in the Premier League, and even higher in European football. Tottenham are capable of making a big pay.

Like the current Villarreal with the highest salary is Riquelme, which is the highest salary in Villarreal. His annual salary before tax is only 4.5 million euros, and he gets less than 3 million euros after tax. But when a star of Riquelme's level comes to Tottenham, the annual salary is more than six million euros, to say the least. He will be able to get his hands on more than four million euros.

Hleb and Arshavin did well, but Villarreal is a small club after all. Their current salary in Villarreal is only around two million euros a year. It was only more than a million euros in hand. But once he transferred to Tottenham, although Lister is not clear, he also imagines that he should have an annual salary of about four million euros. If their broker had negotiated a little better, four and a half million euros would not be out of the question.

Of course, there is a reason why Tottenham are able to offer such high wages. The first is that the pound is very valuable now, and then the Premier League clubs are very rich. And Tottenham is even more so. Being in a London club already has a high income, and the owner of Tottenham is a rich man worth more than two billion pounds.

Money, money is everything. What's the use of Villarreal even if they have better results than Tottenham, and what is the use of many strong teams in other leagues doing better than Tottenham. Tottenham are now able to secure a Champions League place and pay a fraction of the premium salary, which alone will attract a lot of players.

"Frank. I spoke with Mr. Lloygue. There are no problems with transfers. But Villarreal is not short of money. They won't agree to a transfer fee without enough money. ”

In other words, the broker is an errand runner. After Arneson became interested in Hleb and Arshavin, he first met with their agents. Show Tottenham what they mean and tell them how much they are willing to pay them. By the time Hleb and Arshavin's agents agreed to join Tottenham, Arneson approached Lister.

Arneson did not make direct contact with Villarreal. Instead, it was through Lister and Villarreal contact. In fact, this is the case with most transfers. When those clubs buy players, they rarely have direct contact with them. Instead, there will be an intermediary to help the two clubs get in touch. If the talk is not good, there is also room for manoeuvre. There are even some agents who do not have players under their hands, so they specialize in this kind of intermediary trading among clubs. Arneson was looking for Rist because Rist was the best fit for the job.

Rist and Fernando. Roig talked about it, and he meant it very simply. No matter how good the results are, Villarreal is only a small club after all. Villarreal is a small city, not as developed as Tottenham and not as good as Tottenham's salary. Hleb and Arshavin only need to transfer. Salaries will be doubled. So they definitely prefer a London powerhouse like Tottenham.

But as one of the successors of the Roig family, Fernando, who relied on the ceramic toilet to make a fortune. Roig is not short of money. Royg's meaning is simple, there is no problem in buying Hleb and Arshavin. Just give money.

"Huh. Lister, we are not short of money at Tottenham. Of course, there will be no more money for nothing, but there is a lot of money to be given. ”

Arneson nodded. Villarreal are now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In La Liga is the second in place and certainly qualifies for reserved. Plus Fernando. Roig is indeed a figure who is not short of money.

"Okay, Frank, that's going to work."

Although Hleb and Arshavin are not Riste's players, when they entered Villarreal, they were completely brought in by Riste. At that time, Lister and Villarreal had a contract, and if Villarreal got any results, they would have a benefit from Lister. In addition, when they transferred, there was also a share of Rist's share in the transfer fee.

Of course, Villarreal is not Esttremadura, and Rist can't ask for too high a share. Rist only needs a five percent share at that time, but this share is enough for Rist to do his best.

"You're negotiating on behalf of Villarreal?"

"Yes."

Reesette nodded. Although Rist does not hold any position in Villarreal, he has been able to negotiate on their behalf at times. This time Riester received Fernando. Roig was commissioned to speak on behalf of Villarreal about the transfer of the two players.

"Lister, actually, I really hate agents who negotiate on behalf of the club."

Arneson is outspoken. In fact, player transfers should be a matter between the two clubs. But the reality is that when a player transfers, the player's agent has to intervene, the agent with good relations with the club has to intervene, the club's sporting director has to intervene, the club's manager has to intervene, and everything that meddles is for the sake of profit. In this way, when a player transfers, the additional expenditure is more than 20% of the transfer fee.

"Frank, no way. Who makes everyone play like this. ”
