Chapter 698 Wishful Thinking

Mendes is indeed the best agent today. He is flexible and flexible. When he saw that threats were ineffective, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Chairman, we have had a happy cooperation over the years and have achieved brilliant achievements. I don’t believe there is any way to negotiate this matter.”

Moratti is a good man, and he obviously doesn’t want to do anything wrong. His face is still cold, but his tone softens, “I have always admired and thanked Mr. Mendes and Jose, and of course I don’t want to get to this point. , if Mr. Mendes and Jose give up poaching Gao Xiaodong, I can discuss liquidated damages with other shareholders."

When Mendes and Mourinho came to Milan this time, in addition to trying to persuade Moratti to lift the liquidated damages, their other task was to persuade Gao Xiaodong to join Real Madrid. The all-round Gao Xiaodong is very important to Mourinho. With Gao Xiaodong as the key figure in checking and balancing the locker room and suppressing Real Madrid bosses and superstars, any boss who fails to contribute or even refuses to play can be replaced by Xiaodong. Without Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho wants to quickly control Real Madrid It's certainly not easy.

Gao Xiaodong is so important to Mourinho. He can be impressed by eliminating the 16 million liquidated damages. Moreover, even if Moratti insists on asking for the 16 million, it will definitely be paid by Real Madrid without costing Mourinho a penny. .

Mendes laughed dryly and said: "Chairman, the matter of Xiaodong is really not something that Jose and I can decide. Now the clubs that have contacted me to buy Xiaodong are not only Real Madrid, but also Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, and Chelsea. Even if Jose doesn't want Xiaodong, you Can we guarantee that Xiaodong will not go to other clubs?"

"I don't care about other clubs, but I can't accept Jose and Xiaodong going to Real Madrid together."

Moratti has been the president of Inter Milan for so many years and is by no means a layman on the transfer market. With Gao Xiaodong’s relationship with Mourinho and Mendes, if Mourinho wants to take Gao Xiaodong away, Inter Milan can't stop him at all. If Mourinho doesn't want to poach Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan is more likely to keep Gao Xiaodong than other clubs.

Mendes sighed: "If this matter was before the Champions League final, Jose could still decide, but now Jose has no choice. President Florentino values ​​Xiaodong very much. He thinks Xiaodong has the hope of becoming a Ballon d'Or." The prize winner is determined to buy Xiaodong."

Moratti looked a little ugly and said: "In this case, it is up to you to convince Tronchetti and other shareholders."

Mendes and Mourinho had already thought of countermeasures if Moratti disagreed. He smiled and said: "President, there is actually another plan. Quaresma cannot play in Inter Milan. I plan to Let Real Madrid buy Quaresma for 16 million euros, and use the transfer fee to offset the 16 million liquidated damages. Do you think it's appropriate?"

It has to be said that Mendes is indeed unique in handling things. This method can not only help Inter Milan eliminate redundant personnel, but also help Mourinho solve the problem of liquidated damages, and can also sell Real Madrid a favor that saves money. Real Madrid fans can consider finding a wealthy club to gild Quaresma, and in the end Mendes can earn a commission.

Mendes's wishful thinking was very good. Now Quaresma is not worth even 10 million, not to mention 16 million. Inter Milan also wants to clean him up, but Moratti doesn't really care about this. 16 million, mainly because I lost face after the Madrid final and wanted to get it back.

Moratti shook his head and said: "Mr. Mendes, Quaresma is now worth at least 10 million euros in the transfer market. If I sell it for 16 million, I will also erase the 16 million liquidated damages. Quaresma It's a free horse, we're not at a big loss, Real Madrid really want to buy it, it will cost at least 25 million euros."

Mendes knew very well that Moratti was making things difficult, but the initiative was in Moratti's hands. He had no choice but to say: "Chairman, do you think it is appropriate to sell Quares Horse for 25 million now?"

Moratti said: "When we brought Quaresma to Inter Milan two years ago, we spent close to 30 million euros."

Mendes said with some embarrassment: "It seems that Quaresma is not suitable for wealthy families.

He was very good at Porto. "

Moratti looked at his watch, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget about these troublesome things, Mr. Mendes, Jose, let's go out to eat."

Mendes knew that this matter would not be settled at once, so he said: "Chairman, no need, I have something to do tonight."

Mourinho also said: "Thank you, chairman, I have made an appointment with someone as well."

Moratti estimated that the two of them were looking for Gao Xiaodong, so he said enthusiastically: "No, no, you must eat this meal. Jose, you didn't attend the celebration banquet last time, this time I will celebrate it for you." , must stay.”

Mourinho and Mendes could not refuse, so they had a tasteless dinner accompanied by Moratti.

After bidding farewell to Moratti, Mendes called Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong immediately asked Xiao Le to drive Mendes and Mourinho to his home.

After meeting, Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Mr. Mendes, coach, where are you from?"

Mendes said: "José and I just had dinner with Chairman Moratti. Come here to see you and find a place to live."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "That's great. I have many rooms here. As long as Mr. Mendes and the coach get used to living there, they won't dislike it."

Mourinho said: "I'm not that picky."

Mendes smiled and said: "I can live anywhere. I suffered a lot when I was young."

After sitting down, Xiao Le made a pot of tea and went back to his room.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Coach, are you sure you want to coach Real Madrid?"

Mourinho said: "Definitely."

Mendes said: "Actually, I had an intention before the final, but it was really confirmed after the final that Jose had no pursuit in Italy and he needed a bigger challenge."

Gao Xiaodong said oh and didn't answer the question.

Mourinho took the initiative and asked: "Xiaodong, what are your plans for next season? Do you want to continue to stay at Inter Milan?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Where can I go if I don't stay at Inter Milan? The chairman doesn't want to sell me."

Mendes said: "Your liquidated damages are 80 million. As long as a club pays this price, Chairman Moratti will have no way to stop you from leaving."

Gao Xiaodong pretended to be shocked and said: "Mr. Mendes, am I really worth so much money? 80 million, I can't believe it."

"Before I won the Triple Crown, it was definitely difficult to achieve, but now there are still people grabbing 80 million." Mendes smiled happily. As long as Gao Xiaodong transfers, he can get a huge commission, and Gao Xiaodong's value will increase. It was so fast that even he himself could not have imagined.

Mourinho did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Xiaodong, I hope you go to Real Madrid. This is the best club in the world. It is at a low point now. It is time for us to show our talents."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Coach, Inter Milan has become the Triple Crown champion. Isn't it the best team in the world?"

Mourinho said: "Yes, this year's Inter Milan is the best team, but next year's Inter Milan is not. Next year's best team is Real Madrid."

Gao Xiaodong said seriously: "Why?"

Mourinho said frankly: "This is determined by Inter Milan's own characteristics. Inter Milan's main players are all over 30 years old, and they mainly replace the old and young. Balotelli still needs to transfer, no matter A large-scale replacement will make it difficult to play well next season. If there is a large-scale replacement, there will be problems with running-in, not to mention that the coach will also have to be changed..."

Mendes said: "With Moratti's character, he will definitely not clean up the heroes."

Mourinho said: "Yes, Chairman Moratti values ​​friendship. He didn't want to clean up the results last season. It was me who sold out a group of old people against everyone else's opinions. Now the team has won the Triple Crown. It's even more impossible to clean up a group of old people with no fighting spirit and sense of honor. Xiaodong, I can't lead them, nor can any other coach, and you can't lead them either, so why don't you leave."

Gao Xiaodong said: "I heard that the team earned 100 million euros in the Champions League this time. Can't they sign in?"

Mourinho said sharply: "You can sign in, but can the new players take away the main position of the old heroes? So, don't have any illusions, Xiaodong, go to Real Madrid. Real Madrid was the best club in the world in the last century. There are nine Champions League titles. Now the league is suppressed by Barcelona and the Champions League is reduced to 16. Now the club is full of hunger for honors. It is the time when the most honors are achieved, just like Inter Milan 2 years ago, just like 6 years ago. of Chelsea.”

Mendes said: "Xiaodong, this is an opportunity, this is the historical process, the opportunity must not be missed and never come back."

Gao Xiaodong was almost moved by the words, but he still calmed down and said: "Mourinho, if I join Real Madrid, what position will I play?"

Mourinho said: "The midfielder, Real Madrid's biggest weakness now is the midfielder."

Gao Xiaodong said oh and thought to himself, let me do dirty work again. Before I became famous, doing dirty work was enough, but now I am the core of the Triple Crown. How can I get it if I do dirty work again? Golden Globe Award, is this asking me to be a stepping stone for Cristiano Ronaldo?

Mourinho saw Gao Xiaodong's dull reaction and said: "Kaká's condition and adaptability are average, and he is 28 years old. If you survive one season and play as a rotating midfielder in the second season, you will almost be able to take over."

Gao Xiaodong thought to himself, he still has to serve Ronaldo for two years, but Messi and Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or when they were 22 or 3 years old.

After Mourinho finished speaking, Mendes continued: "Compared with Inter Milan, Real Madrid's annual salary is not very high, almost 10 million euros, but Real Madrid's commercial development value is high, and your income will be higher than that of Inter Milan." No matter from a business or sporting perspective, I think you should leave Inter Milan and go to Real Madrid."

Gao Xiaodong wanted to ask about the offers from other teams, but considering that Mourinho was nearby, he gave up and said: "Mr. Mendes, Mourinho, let me think about it carefully. After all, there are two months for the transfer." time."

The matter was serious, so Mourinho was not in a hurry and said: "Think about it carefully and tell Mr. Mendes if you have any ideas."

Mendes said: "Mourinho is right, Xiaodong, think about it carefully and don't be impulsive. This is very important for your career. Just like last season, if you went to Manchester United, this year almost all four major players will be empty. Inter Milan is the treble winner. I don’t know how high the transfer fee is due to fame.”

Gao Xiaodong was shocked when Mendes said that he felt that even if he has a superstar system, he must be cautious and cautious. After all, he is a professional S-level player and he is not yet capable of carrying everything. It is still important to find a good partner.

Mourinho and Mendes did not expect that Gao Xiaodong had his own team in private and had already made a detailed analysis of the transfer issue. They felt that no matter how cunning Gao Xiaodong was, he was only a 20-year-old kid after all. How could they have imagined that he would follow Cristiano Ronaldo is vying for the top spot and now wants to win the Ballon d'Or. Seeing Gao Xiaodong's humility and humility, he felt that it would be safe to transfer Gao Xiaodong to Real Madrid. Everyone chatted together and went back to the room to rest. , preparing to visit Chairman Moratti the next day.
