Chapter 415 The Turbulent Transfer Market

After the UEFA Champions League final, Barcelona, ​​which won the triple crown, became the European dream team three, and Real Madrid, which was empty of the four majors, finally couldn't bear the pain of being suppressed by the arch-enemy Barcelona for a long time. They invited back the old chairman Florentino, Florentino After Tino came to power, he fired the current head coach Juande in a thunderous way. Ramos, the fastest update, invited Chilean engineers to accompany Legrini. A week later, he bought former World Footballer Kaka from Milan for an astonishing 65 million euros, and then offered the Premier League top player Ronaldo for an astonishing 80 million pounds. , 35 million offer Ligue 1 top card Benzema, officially opened the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship.

Although Barcelona won the unprecedented triple crown, the pressure from Real Madrid was too great. After purchasing Kaka and offering Luo 80 million pounds, the whole world was talking about Real Madrid. Barcelona's triple crown was actually snubbed by the media .

Barcelona, ​​which did not plan to invest heavily, was forced to participate in the arms race under the pressure exerted by Real Madrid. After Real Madrid offered 80 million euros, Barcelona also offered 66 million euros higher than the market price to Inter Milan, the "second master" of Serie A. Top card Ibrahimovic.

The crazy arms race between Real Madrid and Barcelona caused an uproar in the European transfer market, subverting the power map in Europe, and at the same time triggered a major reshuffle of the stars of the five major leagues and the second-tier leagues.

Kaka, Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Messi are the center of the transitional storm in Europe, but Porto supernova Gao Xiaodong is obviously not immune, and he has also been favored and seduced by many giants.

After playing the Champions League and the Portuguese Cup, the season is all over, and ordinary players return to their home countries to rest. Gao Xiaodong did not return home immediately. In addition to participating in various activities of the club, Mendes also signed him with Nike, Tissot, etc. There are few advertising endorsements, among which the sponsorship contract between Gao Xiaodong and Nike is the most amazing. Gao Xiaodong, who is less than 20 years old, has won a huge contract of 9 million+ from Nike for five years, surpassing the contract that Adidas gave to Champions League winner Messi. Messi was so dissatisfied that Adidas had to restart the contract renewal with the Argentine as soon as possible.

When Kaka transferred to Real Madrid, the Porto club was congratulating Gao Xiaodong for being the best player of the year in the Portuguese Super League. After the celebration, Porto chairman Da Costa asked the driver to take Gao Xiaodong to his villa and negotiated a transfer with Gao Xiaodong question.

Da Costa personally greeted Gao Xiaodong at the gate of the villa, gave Gao Xiaodong a hug, and laughed loudly: "It was one of the most correct decisions I made to keep you for a season. Without you, we might be eliminated in the quarterfinals." .”

Gao Xiaodong followed Da Costa to the living room and said, "It's a pity that we didn't win the club's third Champions League title."

Da Costa said: "The runner-up is good enough. Whether you win the championship or not, the value of the players has doubled. For Porto, this is more important than the championship."

After coming to the living room to sit down, the assistant Miranda poured tea for Gao Xiaodong and Da Costa and left quietly.

Let the two of you speak alone.

Da Costa said straight to the point: "Xiao Dong, you are not yet 20 years old, but obviously Porto can't keep you anymore, and now almost all the clubs that want you have dialed up Diogo's phone calls, and the quotations are piled up. I can't refuse the prices offered by many clubs, I believe that there should be many clubs who have approached you..."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Chairman, don't blame me. I'm an honest man, but no team has approached me. You know, Mr. Mendes has devoted all his energy to Luo's transfer."

Da Costa said with a smile: "Nonsense, what happens in Portuguese football can be hidden from my eyes."

Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "Okay, some clubs approached me, but I didn't agree to anyone. If the club wants to sell me, don't ask for a price."

Da Costa said with a smile: "What price do you want? Some clubs have already offered a liquidated damages of 50 million. They can take you away without going through Porto, as long as you agree."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Which local tyrant is so rich, I don't know how much annual salary the local tyrant pays me?"

Little slicker, do you know which club it is? Da Costa said: "Manchester City, their eo Cook is still very gentleman. He offered 50 million liquidated damages and said hello to Porto. I believe the annual salary is also certain." It would be a staggering number."

Gao Xiaodong smiled, and said: "How amazing, definitely not as tall as Kakaluo."

Da Costa said with a smile: "You have such a big appetite at a young age. Even if you win the Champions League, your annual salary will not be higher than that of the two superstars, unless you can win the World Footballer or the Golden Globe Award."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Are there any other clubs?"

Da Costa said boldly: "Little slicker, you still want to trick me and tell you that we are not opposing each other now, we are in the same trench, because Porto will not create any obstacles for your transfer."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Old fox, don't give dry favors, they have paid liquidated damages, what obstacles can you create."

Da Costa laughed twice and said: "Not all teams have paid liquidated damages. Chelsea's offer is only 40 million, Manchester United's is 45 million, and Bayern's is 38 million. Which club do you want to go to?" ?”

Gao Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, "I want to go to Bayern, don't create obstacles for me."

Da Costa said seriously: "Don't be joking, Bayern is not suitable for you, Van Gaal is also a coach who attaches great importance to possession of the ball, you can only play for Ribery at Bayern, even if Ribery goes to Real Madrid, you are also a mess You are a blue-collar worker. Manchester United and Chelsea are more suitable for you, and Inter Milan also wants you, but I don’t know why, but now Inter Milan only has intentions and no offer.”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Actually, you most want to sell me to Manchester City."

Da Costa said with a smile: "Of course, from the interests of the club, it must be sold to whoever has the highest price, but you are the banner of Porto and have made great contributions to Porto. I can't just care about the interests of the club." Ah, although Manchester City gave the most money, but they didn't play in the Champions League, which is not good for your development, I still hope you can think carefully, and don't just consider the money factor."

Gao Xiaodong was puzzled by Da Costa, and Da Costa put fifty million liquidated damages against him, considering his interests and future, which is unscientific. Although Gao Xiaodong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Costa's gourd, he assured that the old fox must have ulterior motives.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Don't worry, Chairman, do you think I am a greedy person? I will not be fooled by Manchester City's gold dollar offensive, I will think carefully about it."

Da Costa said: "That's good. Last time you told me that your friend was going to set up a League of Hope, I told Chairman Madair that as long as the procedures are complete, he will not make things difficult for your friend."

Gao Xiaodong said happily: "Thank you, Chairman."

Da Costa said: "You're welcome, let's have a meal here tonight. I called Ferreira, Diogo and others. You are going back to China, so I will see you off."

Gao Xiaodong didn't refuse, and left after having dinner at Da Costa's house. r
