Chapter 420 The honeymoon period is over and the war begins!
Florentino just ended the call with Galliani in the office.
Old fox Galliani said Leeds United's sudden intervention allowed the board to reassess Kaká's value.
The reason.
Where is the bargain now for the person that the white-robed tyrant likes?
Moreover, Leeds United's offer of 6000 million pounds is actually nearly 800 million euros higher than Real Madrid's.
What is the concept of 800 million euros?
AC Milan can give two or three main players a year's salary.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the extra real money?
Florentino looked gloomy and terrifying.
If Leeds United hadn't stepped in.
Maybe now that Real Madrid has reached an agreement with AC Milan, Kaká will land at the Bernabeu in a few days!
Kicks off his new generation of galactic battleships.
But the most difficult thing now is not Kaka's transfer.
But Ronaldo!
"Calderon, you bastard!"
Florentino couldn't hold it back and still yelled in the office.
After entering Real Madrid for the second time, Florentino discovered the three-party agreement signed by Calderon on behalf of Real Madrid with Ronaldo and Manchester United last summer in Calderon's "legacy"!
If Real Madrid cannot introduce Ronaldo this summer, then Real Madrid will need to pay Ronaldo 3000 million pounds!
Now Leeds United is halfway through the transfer of Ronaldo.
Even though the Spanish media said that Leeds United was sniping Real Madrid in the transfer market.
But Florentino is not sure whether Leeds United really wants to win Ronaldo.
Real Madrid wants players who look like the real deal.
Countless clubs across European football want them.
Kaka, Ronaldo, Alonso, Benzema.
Who doesn't want it?
Therefore, it is understandable if Leeds United also wants them to strengthen their strength.
It's just because of the existence of the tripartite agreement that Florentino knew that it was urgent to win Ronaldo. Otherwise, we won't say whether Real Madrid would give Ronaldo 3000 million pounds, but once this matter gets out, it will have a negative impact on Real Madrid. Madrid's reputation and transfer market influence would be a major blow.
how?
Talking like farts?
You even signed the agreement, but you can’t buy anyone, and you’re not willing to pay compensation?
Does Real Madrid still have credibility?
Florentino had to call Shen Hao.
The result was that no one answered.
Only then did Florentino react.
The tyrant in white is still leading the Dutch national team in the World Cup preliminaries.
Should be at work during the day.
So he could only wait until night before calling Shen Hao.
On this day, European football was not peaceful.
All kinds of rumors are flying in the public opinion.
"Kaká intends to join Leeds United, Real Madrid is not the first choice!"
"Cronaldo does not accept any interviews with the Portuguese national team and is unwilling to respond to transfer rumors. This is the biggest response. He can leave Manchester United!"
"Alonso prefers to join Real Madrid!"
"Benzema is more inclined to become a member of the new generation of Galacticos."
...
In the evening, Shen Hao returned to the dormitory after dinner.
Tomorrow the team will travel to Iceland.
Today, the agents of Sneijder, Robben and Franck Ribery also put pressure on Real Madrid, asking why they turned a blind eye to Leeds United's offer.
But Florentino also didn't give them a positive answer.
It's like Real Madrid are busy right now.
There are a lot of things to deal with on the agenda.
It's not the turn of Robben, Ribery and Sneijder yet.
This is very perfunctory.
It's not like Real Madrid wants to buy these three people.
After the quotation is approved, a team will be sent to negotiate the treatment.
Now Real Madrid is selling people, it’s just about whether the price is right or not.
If it's suitable, sell it. After nodding their approval, they don't have to worry about it. When the player and the buyer reach an agreement, Real Madrid just waits and collects the money.
Real Madrid's actions made the agents of the three players very dissatisfied.
However, Florentino's authority cannot be questioned, let alone provoked.
Therefore, I can only swallow my anger.
When Florentino's call came, Shen Hao looked at the caller ID on the phone screen.
He smiled at Bai Muxin in the laptop video and said, "Go to rest early. I will go back in a few days."
Bai Muxin smiled sweetly, and after giving birth, her every move and smile seemed to radiate the brilliance of motherhood.
Wait until he closes the video window.
Then he picked up the phone unhurriedly. Almost 30 seconds after the call came, Shen Hao answered the phone.
"Perez, congratulations on becoming president of Real Madrid again."
"Thank you, Shen. I'm calling to know if we can avoid unnecessary competition in the transfer market, because that will cost us higher."
Florentino got straight to the point.
What he said makes sense.
Kaká, who could have been acquired for 6500 million euros, now has a 6000 million pound offer from Leeds United and is waiting for Real Madrid to continue raising their offer.
Aulas from Lyon even shouted, "Whoever gives 5000 million euros first can take Benzema away."
"Okay, Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema, Alonso, which one do you want?"
Florentino suddenly fell silent.
Which one does he want?
He wants it all!
"Leeds United don't have enough room in the squad and you know that."
"Aren't we negotiating? We can't accommodate so many people. Two or three should be enough."
"Real Madrid is rebuilding and we need these players."
"Okay, if you are re-elected as chairman, I will give you a congratulatory gift. Alonso and Ronaldo, Leeds United will withdraw from the competition, and the offer can be withdrawn tomorrow."
"What about Benzema and Kaká?"
"If you want Leeds United to withdraw from the bidding for these two people, it is not impossible, then we have to talk about Sneijder, Ribery and Robben."
"There are still variables in the positioning of these three people, so I can't give you an answer at the moment."
Shen Hao sneered.
"It's already listed, what other variables are there? If you think 1 million euros is too little, you can just pay back the price.
No sale, you openly refuse.
If you want to sell it at a high price, let me hear your counter-offer.
But there was no response. In all these years, I have never seen any club have such an attitude in dealing with listed players. "
"We are indeed still discussing the future of the three of them, and Legrini is trying his best to retain these three people."
"Then what do you want Ronaldo and Kaka to do?"
Shen Hao's tone was already a bit angry.
Florentino was fighting with him here, and even pulled out the newly appointed coach Legrini as a shield.
This made him realize that his hunch was correct.
It’s not that Real Madrid doesn’t sell people, but it’s targeting Leeds United and doesn’t want to sell people to Leeds United!
Why not say no publicly?
Falling out will do Real Madrid no good.
Why not pay back the sky-high price?
Because Florentino was afraid that the asking price would be too high to scare away other clubs, in the end the Dutch helped themselves.
1 million euros, three players.
Is it expensive?
For Ribery and Robben who have won the Champions League, 4000 million euros each is definitely not expensive. Sneijder's 2000 million euros did not cost Real Madrid much.
It can be said that the offer given by Leeds United is very reasonable.
Real Madrid also doesn’t have much room to bargain.
"The entire transfer period is still very long, and we don't want to hastily complete the team reconstruction to avoid irreparable flaws."
Shen Hao listened to Florentino's explanation.
He fell silent.
About half a minute later, Florentino asked: "Are you still there?"
Shen Hao's cold voice came.
"Perez, let's put down the hypocritical mask and honestly admit that Real Madrid is not willing to sell Robben, Ribery, Sneijder, or even any player to Leeds United. Right?"
This time, Florentino fell silent.
Shen Hao waited for half a minute and then hung up the phone.
He already has his answer.
He knows that Florentino must be annoyed that Real Madrid has been stepped on by Leeds United in the Champions League in the past few years.
At the same time, Leeds United is truly regarded as Real Madrid's number one rival for restoration in Europe.
In addition, Real Madrid spent a sky-high price to introduce players from Leeds United. Although it was a great success to create a football transfer record, it invisibly promoted the growth and expansion of Leeds United.
Calderon can only see that Leeds United is missing Ribery and Robben, and its paper strength has declined.
But we can’t see that Leeds United’s expansion of infrastructure after receiving funds has brought about an increase in the club’s hard power.
And the success of Ronaldo and Helguera at Leeds United also stung Florentino deeply.
One thing he can be sure of now is: he cannot sell players to Leeds United!
This is an iron rule in the transfer market after he entered Real Madrid for the second time!
Real Madrid players who are bad in the second team cannot be given to Leeds United!
As long as Leeds United likes a player, they will fight for it as much as possible.
Florentino's ambition and vision are far beyond what Calderon can compare with.
The honeymoon period between Leeds United and Real Madrid outside the Arena is over.
And they will become tacit and mortal enemies of each other!
Unless one day Leeds United is brought back to its original shape and once again becomes a small, insignificant ant in the eyes of Real Madrid!
At that time, Real Madrid can talk to Leeds United again in a condescending manner!
After Shen Hao hung up the phone, he leaned back on the single sofa.
He closed his eyes and thought.
After ten minutes passed, he picked up his cell phone and called Sneijder, Robben and Ribery respectively.
Regarding transfer matters, in order to avoid telling the truth, he certainly would not use text messages.
He chooses to make phone calls unless they are monitored or recorded by the other party.
Then the past is gone.
Shen Hao told them the result straightforwardly.
Real Madrid did not allow them to move to Leeds United.
why?
He needs no explanation.
It was Florentino who had to explain.
In fact, Laporta showed signs of being unwilling to sell Ronaldinho to Leeds United last year.
It's just that Leeds United has yet to make an offer to Ronaldinho.
So Leeds United can't feel this.
The special nature of the two clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, means that their presidents do not aim at profit in transfer operations, but to enhance the team's competitiveness.
Preventing Leeds United from becoming stronger and bigger is also creating a favorable competitive environment for itself in disguise.
All three players were upset to hear the news.
However, they have also been mentally prepared from Real Madrid's reaction and the agent's speculation.
Looking back, Leeds United had five years from 2004 to 2009.
In addition to Ribery, Robben, Modric, Kompany, Baynes, Neuer and other young players.
Any player aged 25 and above.
They basically use players that wealthy and powerful teams don't want.
What is unacceptable to the powerful teams is that... Leeds United used these players to give them a painful and fatal blow on the field!
So it makes sense that Real Madrid purges players but excludes Leeds United from the list of contenders.
Shen Hao encouraged them and hoped that they would maintain a good attitude.
In general, Leeds United made efforts and Shen Hao did not deceive them.
Leeds United offered real money.
The problem lies with Real Madrid.
Whether they are disappointed or angry, they cannot express their anger at Shen Hao and Leeds United.
On the contrary, Shen Hao also said to them, "If there is a chance in the future, Leeds United's door will still be open to you!"
This sentence can still warm their hearts and make them grateful to Shen Hao.
After hanging up the phone calls of the three players, Shen Hao called Chen Hao again.
"Increase the offer for Ronaldo to 9000 million pounds!"
Chen Hao set out to do it.
Shen Hao then called Galliani.
"Florentino can't afford more money. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, if you are willing to sell Kaká, Leeds United's 6000 million pounds is the final offer. If Real Madrid can offer 7500 million euros, we will withdraw. Time is running out. I can only give you three days to make a decision."
"Shen, what are you worried about? The summer transfer window hasn't opened yet."
"Leeds United has Leeds United's recruitment plan. We can't stick to a Kaka with the budget, can you understand?"
"Oh, okay, I'll discuss it with the board tomorrow."
...
"Leeds United raises offer for Ronaldo to £9000 million!"
"Although it is not as good as the 1.2 million euros they quoted Messi last summer, once the 9000 million pound deal is reached, Leeds United will once again rewrite the world football transfer signing record. The difference is that this time they are the buyer!"
"Manchester United fans have started a massive protest against the Glazer family!"
Manchester United must cut through the mess quickly.
If this drags on, fans will not just protest.
Ferguson called David Gill.
"Let Real Madrid pay 9000 million pounds! They will definitely pay!"
David Gill is a bit timid.
Afraid of Real Madrid quitting.
But under Ferguson's strong request.
He did it anyway.
Florentino was furious in Madrid.
He knows that the war with Leeds United has completely begun!
Even if Leeds United really wants Ronaldo, Shen Hao must know how difficult it is.
Just like 9000 million pounds, Leeds United can get it.
Can’t Manchester City get it?
If Ronaldo can brave the world's disapproval to join his mortal enemy, and Manchester United dares to agree to the offer from his mortal enemy, then Manchester City will pay 1.5 million pounds or 2 million pounds, absolutely no problem!
But Leeds United's current asking price of 9000 million pounds makes people feel that they are serious.
If the asking price exceeds £1 million, it looks a bit like a mess.
In the end, in order to fulfill the tripartite agreement last summer, Florentino gritted his teeth and made an offer of 9000 million pounds to Manchester United!
