"I've only been away for a few days, and I haven't heard anything from me before."

Now Evergrande Group is just preparing to enter football, but they are a very structured club. That's why we think about what happens after we enter. They know they're going to be promoted next season, so they're hoping to get some great signings ahead of schedule. Like China's second-tier league, that is, the Chinese League, there is a saying that as long as there is good foreign aid, it is not a problem to upgrade.

Arriving in England, Rist was also concerned about his other industries. And I went to meet some old friends, but before I could finish my own affairs in England, something happened. Let Rist have to fly to Spain again.

"Now the club is not doing well and Fernando is scared. If it's downgraded, it's not worth much. While it's still worth the money, of course, it's time to make a quick move. ”

"How much?"

"It was not announced. But I think it should be around 40 million euros, or maybe not yet. ”

"So cheap? Alfahim bought Manchester City for more than £100 million. Even if it's not as cheap as Manchester City, it shouldn't be so cheap. ”

Rist frowned. Forty million euros, this club is too cheap. Now, even if Rist casually contributed some money, he could easily come up with this money. It's also too cheap to buy a La Liga club.

"Not cheap, Riester. After all, La Liga clubs' revenues cannot be compared to those of Premier League clubs. Malaga earned less than 40 million euros for the season. ”

"Perhaps."

Rist shook his head. Manchester City was also a relegation club in the first place, and its history is very lacking. But Alfahim bought Manchester City at a high price. And Malaga is also a La Liga club, although it is also a relegation club, but it is less than 40 million euros, which is really cheap.

Less than five days after Rist was in England, something big happened in Spain. Spanish football is no match for English football, and half of Premier League clubs are now owned by foreign owners. The Premier League is the most successful league in commercial development, and all kinds of wealthy people are willing to invest. Even many Premier League fans are now not resistant to foreign investment. There are even club fans who want their clubs to be as rich as Manchester City and Chelsea. But Spanish football is different.

Spanish football is still relatively xenophobic and does not like the interference of foreign capital. Spanish clubs are struggling one by one right now. The debt situation is also very serious. Even the wages of many clubs in La Liga and La B have been released. But even with such difficulties, until now there has not been a real foreign capital in Spanish football to control La Liga clubs. This is the first time. The capital of Qatar from the Middle East, came to Malaga.

"Have you ever seen the Middle Eastern boss in Malaga?"

"Yes."

Carvajal nodded. The reason why Rist asks this is because Carvajal and Malaga have a very special relationship. Before the Qatari capital came to Malaga. It is the Sanz family that owns Málaga.

This family is also the family of Spanish billionaires. He is at the helm of a man who is familiar to everyone, and that is the former president of Real Madrid, Lourenço. Sans. The cigar-smoking Spanish billionaire was a goalkeeper in his youth, making his fortune in real estate and the construction business. Of course, many of the current owners of La Liga clubs have made their fortunes on real estate, including the current president of Real Madrid, Florentino.

Sans doesn't really like to show his head very much, because he really couldn't beat Florentino, and in 06 he lost to junior Calderón. This left him with no face, so he chose Malaga. Then he made his son, Fernando. Sanz manages the club. Fernando. Sanz was a player in Real Madrid's academy and played as a defender before moving to Malaga and becoming its captain.

Malaga is a small club. Strength is not good. But Fernando. Sens is one of the more powerful figures, and under his management, Malaga is okay in La Liga. However, in September 2008, the elder Sans was arrested by the police on suspicion of forging a huge amount of cashier's checks, and although he finally escaped from prison, it was a major blow to Sans himself. Two months later, Mr. Sanz was investigated by the police for allegedly revealing trade secrets of the Spanish real estate industry to a French intelligence agency.

But the blows to him were one after another. Old Sans failed to buy Parma in 2005. So a lot of money was lost, especially the 7.5 million euros invested in the early stage. Although he is a billionaire, the failure of this investment still caused him to lose a lot, and his company entered a serious economic crisis.

This year, Spain's economy is not good, and his economic crisis continues to worsen. In desperation, the elder Sans entrusted his previous collection of antiques to an Italian auction house to sell. However, in accordance with the provisions of Spanish law. More than 100 years of art to get foreign auctions, must get the permission of the government, because Sans does not have the permission of the government department, so he has been suspected of illegal to take some of his personal collection of famous Spanish paintings to Italian auction houses for auction. Although the paintings have not been sold, the Italian side has made it clear that they will not be returned to Spain.

As a result, he was recently arrested again by the police. This is a bigger blow to the already stormy Sans family. The Sans family is no longer able to afford the day-to-day expenses of Malaga, which has had a poor season this season. That's why the Sans family sold him before the winter break. If they are relegated this season, then the Malaga club is even less valuable.

However, it is precisely because Malaga is the club of the Sens family that Carvajal and Malaga have a deep relationship. Carvajal was able to become Real Madrid's royal agent, in addition to the role of Raul, it was because of his relationship with the Sans family. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the agent of Salgado, the son-in-law of old Sanz. In recent years, there has been little investment in Malaga. To be able to stay in La Liga, Carvajal's credit is huge. The ability to bring in those low-value, low-salary players relies on Carvajal's connections in Spain.

"How? Does the new boss have money or not? Does it cost money or? ”

"There should be money. I briefly checked it, and it is said that the net worth is more than 5 billion euros. I don't know if it's true, but he is a member of the Qatari royal family and should not be short of money. As for spending money, it's not very clear. But it should take a little this winter, after all, relegation is the most important thing. ”

Qatari royal family, Malaga boss. Rist doesn't know much about the Malaga owner, but historically it seems that he spent a lot of money in Malaga, but in the end it seems that he was leaving Malaga.

The specific reason for this was a matter of disagreement at the time. Some say that the boss of Malaga is a Middle Eastern liar, but this is unlikely, after all, he is indeed a member of the Qatari royal family, and according to his seniority, he is still the cousin of the boss of Paris Saint-Germain.

It was also reported that he was going to be involved in the real estate development in Malaga, but then it didn't go well, so he left Malaga. Of course, there was even a situation of unpaid wages in Malaga at that time, and there was news that the boss of Malaga at that time had sent money, but it was swallowed up by the management. Anyway, there is a lot of dense news. It is also said that after the owner of Malaga arrived in La Liga, he found that the La Liga environment was not as good as he imagined. And the Spanish football world rejected him, the owner from the Middle East, and he felt discriminated against here, so he withdrew.

But none of this has anything to do with Rist now. Rist is now considering whether he can get a piece of the pie in the process of Malaga's rise. So he looked at Carvajal and said, "Of course you want a player, you're looking for me." Isn't it just relegation, it's a matter of minutes. ”

With the current strength of Riester, as long as the head coach of a club does not die. Rist can be said to be a matter of asking for people, and it is really a simple matter to let a club be relegated.

"I know you have a lot of players. But I'm going to get in touch with the new boss first. Thankfully, the new owner has allowed Fernando to remain the club's vice-president and also serve as a transfer advisor. ”

New owner of Malaga, Sheikh. Arsani is still very good at being a person. The Sanz family has been in Spanish football for many years and has a very strong connection. Hence the Sheikh . After Arsani bought Malaga, he did not drive out Fernando. Sans. Instead, let him continue to serve the club.

"Yes. Ask the new owner about the team's new ideas. Let's see what kind of player he needs and I'm so prepared. ”

Historically, the owner of Malaga came in July 2010, almost eight months earlier. It is also not known when the PSG boss will come and when the new boss of Monaco will come. And, of course, the owner of the Premier League's Queens Park Rangers, who is also a big spender. These bosses have come to European football, which will make European football more prosperous.

"Rist, I have a lot of players on my hands."

"That's not a rush. What level is Malaga now? If the new boss of Malaga is really ambitious, none of the players in Malaga will be able to stay. Look at Manchester City, where are the original players in the current main squad, they have been purged. So don't worry about this aspect at all. ”

Rist and Carvajal are both agents with a lot of players on their hands. But the current situation in Malaga is definitely a step towards a great purge and a big recruitment. Rist has long felt it at Manchester City.

But by then, Carvajal had picked up a big advantage. Because although the players in Malaga can't play in the strong team games, they are also La Liga players. It is still possible to find a place among some of the weak teams in La Liga and the strong teams in La Liga. But because Malaga is purging players, the transfer fee is certainly not good. Carvajal has a special relationship with Malaga, and the job of cleaning the players is definitely his. With the purged players, he can show favor to many small and medium-sized clubs. Both La Liga and La B teams have to admit his affection.

"Yes."
