Portugal finally stopped in the top 16. They made it to the knockout rounds, but failed to go any further.

So Portugal is the first on Niang's list of interested players to finish their World Cup journey.

On the night when Portugal was eliminated, the whole of Portugal fell into grief and sadness, and almost every Portuguese was infected by Cristiano Ronaldo's sad tears.

That night, Niang received a call from Mendes.

"You are ready to make an offer to Real Madrid."

※ ※ ※

Things seemed to speed up all of a sudden.

The next day, Real Madrid received an offer from Liverpool.

They offered 18 million euros for Pepe.

To be honest, this offer is too low. No matter how unpopular Pepe is with the people in Madrid, he can't be so low... This is simply an insulting offer.

So Real Madrid refused without thinking.

Although Liverpool's offer was rejected, the matter eventually reached the ears of Real Madrid chairman Florentino.

There have been rumors that Real Madrid want to give up Pepe.

Florentino knows that this is not a rumor, this is the true thinking of the club's top brass.

But there has always been controversy because not everyone wants to let Pepe go.

So in the end, it was his attitude as the club chairman that played a decisive role.

And his attitude is... he supports selling Pepe.

Florentino is a person who attaches great importance to his own reputation and that of the team. His idol is Santiago Bernabeu, the legendary chairman in the history of the club. He hopes that he can also go down in history like Bernabeu.

But Pepe's behavior is tarnishing Real Madrid's pure white jersey.

There is another reason why the Real Madrid president is dissatisfied with Pepe, and that is because - Pepe was not bought by himself, he is the former club president, Calderon, the disgrace of the club!

Florentino takes faction very seriously.

When he came to power, he needed to clean up and sell off those who were his predecessors.

For example, after he came to power for the second time, he sold Sneijder, Robben, Gago and other people from the Calderon era.

Among them, Sneijder and Robben helped the team reach the Champions League final at the Bernabeu in their first season after leaving Real Madrid. This incident was considered by many to be a shame for Real Madrid and gave the Real Madrid president a slap in the face.

But Florentino didn't think so.

He didn't care what achievements these two people had achieved, he just couldn't allow the enemy's people to stay under his nose.

This is why Higuain performs so well and has always become a key player in Real Madrid and is the most efficient player in Real Madrid, but Florentino still wants to sell him. Every summer, there are rumors that Higuain is leaving Real Madrid.

Similarly, Pepe is not Florentino's person. He was brought by former chairman Calderon and manager Mijatovic.

This makes Florentino even more dissatisfied with Pepecan. Coupled with his impulsive personality and temper, he will always follow his words and let others seize Pepe's actions to attack Real Madrid. This This made Florentino even more unhappy.

As long as there is a chance, he will definitely sell Pepe without hesitation.

As for Pepe, as an excellent central defender, he can add thickness to Real Madrid's defense... He doesn't believe that Pepe is the only outstanding central defender in the world. Can’t Thiago Silva of AC Milan do it? Is Manchester City's Kompany not good enough? Chiellini of Juventus is also an excellent central defender. Even within the team, Vanella has proven his strength, and Ramos's performance as a central defender is obvious to all... Why do we always think that without Pepe, Real Madrid's defense will collapse? ?

As for Mourinho's feelings, he just didn't care. In the early years, when he needed Mourinho, he was still very satisfied with Mourinho. But as Real Madrid lifted the European championship for the tenth time, Cup, his dependence on Mourinho has gradually faded. He is a chairman who likes to interfere in the management of the club. He has interfered in the management of the team many times in the past, and he is not the kind of person who can tolerate it. Now because of Mourinho, it is not easy for him to suppress himself for several years...

Therefore, as the club president, Florentino has no idea what Pepe means to Real Madrid and Mourinho.

This is a typical "kill the donkey" thinking.

Of course, even if they want to sell Pepe, it doesn't mean they are giving it away for free.

If the other party's offer is too low, that won't work either.

After all, it cost Real Madrid 30 million euros when Pepe came to Real Madrid. Although the price was obviously inflated, there might be something fishy in it. But everyone knows the price of 30 million. If it is sold too cheaply, it will obviously not be justified.

Florentino is not saying that he is a fool. He knows that although there are many people who hate Pepe, there are also many people who like Pepe. If buying a main central defender is too cheap, where will Real Madrid lose face?

People will say: "Is Real Madrid's main center back worth that little money?"

Therefore, if Pepe is to be sold, it is not at such a low-end price.

Just want to take Pepe away for 18 million?

Don’t think that we at Real Madrid are really Kaizi!

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid rejected Liverpool's offer, which did not surprise Niang. He also knew that 18 million was indeed low.

The main reason why he is offering such a low price now is to prevent Real Madrid from asking for excessive prices. If he quoted 30 million at the beginning, what would happen if Real Madrid raised the price in the future?

If you offer a lower price at the beginning, you can negotiate the price later. You have to increase the price too much to satisfy Real Madrid.

This is Niang's experience in many negotiations.

Real Madrid rejected his offer of 18 million euros, and Liverpool quickly re-quoted a second price. This time it was increased by two million, reaching 20 million euros.

Twenty million and eighteen million, although there are only two million more, are definitely two different concepts. For the former, everyone will think, "Wow, it's 20 million, that's a lot!" For the latter, everyone will think, "It's just a talent." More than 10 million."

This offer can already make Real Madrid feel sincerity.

Of course, Real Madrid still refused, because in their view, Pepe's 20 million is still too cheap.

Only this time, they didn't simply refuse, they also quoted the price they hoped to get.

Forty million euros!

The price is actually not important, because all prices can be negotiated. If Real Madrid said 40 million, do they really have to pay 40 million? Except for the wealthy Middle Easterners, no one in the world is so stupid.

What Niang values ​​​​is that Real Madrid responded to him and proposed the price they hoped to get, which means that Real Madrid really wants to sell Pepe.

What is he afraid of now?

The club wants to sell, the player wants to leave, and the agent is helping. What can't Liverpool do?

Looking at the fax from Real Madrid, Niang laughed.

He feels particularly accomplished now.

Everyone knows how important Pepe is to Real Madrid. He is the unstoppable main force of Real Madrid. He is a world-class central defender and his personal defensive ability is unrivaled.

If he had told others that he wanted to recruit Pepe from Real Madrid, others would have thought he was a lunatic, talking nonsense and bragging!

But he really wanted to do it. He almost accomplished such a difficult thing, which proved that his strategy was successful.

Chen Yingxiong's sense of accomplishment is scoring goals on the court and leading the team to victory. Martin O'Neill's sense of accomplishment is watching the players execute their own tactics on the court to win the game. As a club manager, his sense of accomplishment is to sign players to Liverpool one by one who others thought were impossible to win.

Pepe is the first, but definitely not the last.

※ ※ ※

Real Madrid's asking price of 40 million euros is obviously not acceptable. Pepe performed well in Real Madrid, but he is not worth the price. Besides, he is the person Real Madrid originally planned to clean up... This price is simply impossible. Unless Pepe is Real Madrid's absolute main force, the core, the flag of Real Madrid, and the leader of Real Madrid's locker room, then 40 million may not be able to win Pepe.

Now... the situation is different.

Real Madrid offered 40 million, and Liverpool immediately counter-offered 25 million.

Of course, 25 million cannot meet Real Madrid's requirements. Real Madrid counter-offered again, still 40 million.

It seems that Real Madrid is tenacious enough this time.

But Niang knew Real Madrid were bluffing.

They certainly know that their players cannot be traded at this price, unless they don't want to sell Pepe at all.

He was no longer in a hurry. He waited a few days before responding to Real Madrid.

He has to show off the big guys at Real Madrid and let them know how much he has. Don't think that everyone has to satisfy them.

And his quotation is also a good illustration of Liverpool's attitude, that is - I won't tolerate you!

Liverpool responded with €25 million.

Compared with last time, the money has not changed a penny.

※ ※ ※

Originally, Real Madrid's transfers had to go through head coach Mourinho, but this transfer is extraordinary. Florentino certainly knows how much Mourinho likes Pepe, so if he wants to sell Pepe , then Mourinho cannot be allowed to know about this matter.

He has notified everyone who knows about the transfer transaction and told them not to disclose the information. If Mourinho finds out, they will be fired.

Therefore, Real Madrid reports all the latest developments regarding Pepe's transfer transactions directly to the chairman.

It's up to Florentino to decide.

Niang didn't know that his opponent was actually Florentino. He thought he was the same manager as him. If he knew that the person he was playing opposite was Florentino, I'm afraid he would have a greater sense of accomplishment...

Florentino laughed when he saw Liverpool's return offer.

It seems like this Liverpool manager is a bit interesting.

Dare to challenge Real Madrid.

Looks like I need to let you know who you're doing business with, kid.
