Chapter 706: Manchester United Takes Action

Mendes is the best agent in the world, not even one of them. The only one who can compete with him is Raiola, but in terms of broad connections and flexible skills, Raiola is worse than Mendes. A lot.

It is true that Mourinho is a good partner of Mendes, but Mendes cannot rely entirely on Mourinho. After all, Mourinho can only coach one club, but Mendes has hundreds of players under his command. The other coaches were offended, and Mendes no longer had to do business.

Manchester United has had some economic problems in recent years, but Americans are good at business operations and may rise again in a few years. Mendes does not dare to easily offend Ferguson, who even the American boss does not dare to offend.

Mendes smiled and said: "Manchester United still wants to buy Xiaodong. Sir Alex, it is estimated that Xiaodong will not be able to take him away without activating the liquidated damages."

Ferguson said domineeringly: "There will also be liquidated damages for activation."

Mendes said with some confusion: "Is Rooney determined to leave?"

Ferguson's tone was still stiff and he said: "Whether Rooney leaves or not, Manchester United will always buy someone."

Mendes smiled and said: "Rooney is no worse than Ronaldo. I think he just wants to be worthy of his salary. If Manchester United can significantly increase his annual salary, he should stay. Rooney left and bought Xiaodong." , Manchester United’s strength cannot be improved much.”

Ferguson said: "Mr. Mendes, whether Rooney leaves or not, I will buy Xiaodong."

Mendes pondered for a moment, then woke up and said with a smile: "If Rooney leaves, Xiaodong is Rooney's best substitute. If Rooney stays, Xiaodong can also restrain Rooney when he comes. Even if he can't buy Xiaodong, as long as Sir Alex lets him go If you want to buy Xiaodong, Rooney doesn't dare to ask for a high price, Sir Alex, your move is really brilliant."

Ferguson secretly admired Mendes for his quick thinking, but he said coldly: "It's still not as clever as you and Mourinho played last season."

Mendes laughed dryly and said: "Sir Alex is a good move, but how do you prove that Manchester United has so much money to buy people?"

Ferguson waved his hand, "No need to prove it. As long as I say buy it, no one dares to doubt that I can't afford it. I know Mourinho is very eager to take Gao Xiaodong away and help him play Barcelona, ​​but he has already used it for a year." , this time it’s Manchester United’s turn.”

Mendes smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, to be honest, Xiaodong is old and it is impossible for me to arrange everything. No matter you, Mourinho or anyone else, whoever wants Xiaodong needs him." Just agree to it yourself.”

Ferguson said: "Gao Xiaodong agreed to come to Manchester United last season."

Mendes smiled, "Sir Sir Alex, last season was last season. Last season, Gao Xiaodong was still a player for the second-tier team Porto, but he shined for one season. Now Gao Xiaodong is the European Triple Crown and the top scorer. A favorite for the Ballon d'Or."

Ferguson said: "The United Kingdom is now the best league in Europe. Manchester United is strong, has a profound foundation, and has the largest number of fans in the world. It is not much better than Inter Milan, which has just changed its coach and has an aging staff."

Mendes said: "But aren't the conditions of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga better?"

Ferguson said: "This argument is meaningless. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are the best clubs in the world. It just depends on where the players plan to go. I now hope that Mr. Mendes can abandon personal feelings and stand completely from the perspective of the players." To handle this transfer. If you can give Manchester United a fair bidding environment, whether Manchester United buys Gao Xiaodong or not, Manchester United and Gedfoot will still be good partners in the future."

Mendes had an unusual relationship with Mourinho, but judging from Gao Xiaodong's attitude, he felt that it would be difficult to transfer to Real Madrid, so he didn't want to offend Ferguson, so he said: "Sir, I promise you, but Xiaodong is not what he used to be. For example, there are many clubs interested in Xiaodong. If Manchester United cannot come up with a competitive offer, it will be more difficult to sign Xiaodong than last season."

Ferguson had been paying attention to Gao Xiaodong for a long time and knew that what Mendes said was true, "Mr. Mendes, I will definitely give Gao Xiaodong a sincere offer.

In addition, I also want to talk to Gao Xiaodong in person. Is that okay? "

Mendes pondered for a moment and said: "Of course not in principle, but after the World Cup enters the knockout rounds, Xiaodong may come to South Africa to watch the game. When the time comes, I can arrange for you to meet."

Ferguson looked happy and said, "Okay, Mr. Mendes, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Well, wait for my call."

Mendes and Ferguson chatted about the game for a while and then left.

Ferguson sat in a chair and pondered for a while, then picked up his cell phone and dialed his boss Glazer's number.

"Hello Sir Alex."

Malcolm, the American boss, came over the phone. Glazer's calm and firm voice.

A gentle smile appeared on Ferguson's face and he said: "Mr. Malcolm, that's it. This summer, I hope Manchester United can add some fresh blood."

"Absolutely, who are you going to buy?" Glazer was not surprised. In the years since he bought Manchester United, he has hardly made much investment in the transfer market. Instead, he sold Ronaldo, the World Footballer. So for Ferguson's request, He agreed immediately.

Ferguson's smile remained unchanged, "Inter Milan's Gao Xiaodong."

"What..." Glazer was startled, and his voice suddenly became louder, "Gao Xiaodong, is Rooney definitely leaving?"

Ferguson said: "No, Rooney's contract extension is still under negotiation, but Rooney said that Manchester United needs to buy world-class players to increase their competitiveness, so I hope to win Gao Xiaodong."

"Gao Xiaodong is worth a lot."

"It's estimated that we can't get it without 80 million euros."

"What?"

Glazer is really about to jump now. Ronaldo only has 9,000,000 euros, but Gao Xiaodong actually wants 8,000,000. He doesn't know why Ferguson is staring at Gao Xiaodong. Now Manchester United is the double runner-up in the league and the Champions League, why does it cost so much? A big price to buy a 20-year-old young man.

Glazer said: "Jazz, I don't want to and will not interfere in any of your decisions. I believe you have your reasons, but I want to know, what if we buy Gao Xiaodong, but Rooney chooses to stay?"

Ferguson smiled and said: "If you stay, stay. Didn't Ronaldo and Rooney coexist very well back then?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before a voice came out, "Sir, you know we have a lot of debt. If we want to buy Gao Xiaodong, it will make our debt even heavier."

Ferguson said sharply: "Mr. Malcolm, when you bought Manchester United, you had more debt."

Glazer smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, but I believe Manchester United can make me more money. Can Gao Xiaodong?"

Ferguson said: "I don't know if Gao Xiaodong will make more money for Manchester United, but I believe he can bring more championships to Manchester United."

Glazer was silent for a while and said, "How much is Gao Xiaodong's annual salary?"

Ferguson said: "More than 10 million, which is similar to the annual salary Rooney asked for."

Glazer added: "If Rooney transfers, how much can he sell for?"

Ferguson said: "About 70 million."

Glazer said: "Manchester United bought Rooney for 3 million euros in 2004, and now it is almost twice as high. If Gao Xiaodong buys it this year and sells it in five years, how much can he sell for?"

Ferguson said: "With normal development, the annual growth will be 10 million. In five years, it will be approximately 130 million euros."

Glazer thought for a while and said: "If I can get his image rights, I will buy them no matter how much debt I have to bear."

Ferguson said: "He has half of the image rights at Inter Milan."

Glazer said: "Everyone wants to come over. I would rather give him more annual salary."

Ferguson knew the business acumen of the Jewish boss and said: "Okay, I'll try my best, but there are many teams chasing Gao Xiaodong, and we have very little initiative."

Glazer said: "Where are you now? I'll go there and let's discuss it carefully."

Ferguson said: "The opening ceremony in South Africa."

"Okay, I'll go there today."

Glazer hung up the phone, convened his think tank to conduct a detailed analysis of the possibility of buying Gao Xiaodong, and then took a plane to leave the United States and go to South Africa to discuss Gao Xiaodong's transfer with Ferguson.
