Chapter 230: Skills in Transfer Negotiation (Ninth update, please vote for me)

As Niang expected, the biggest difficulty in Boccetti's transfer deal is not the player himself, but the Fiorentina club.

He arrived in Italy secretly, and then first went to find Boccetti, who was on vacation in his hometown of Naples, to express his interest in Liverpool.

Sure enough, Bochetti himself was very excited about being favored by Liverpool. He didn't say a word about joining, saying that as long as there were no problems with his personal treatment, he was very willing to join Liverpool.

Niang felt a little sad when he saw this scene.

When he first made a purchase as the general manager of Liverpool, many media were disdainful of Liverpool and believed that Liverpool had no advantage at all when competing with other teams.

This is also the actual situation. Many players were reluctant to come as soon as they heard it was Liverpool. Liverpool, the once golden brand, not only has a certain appeal among some English players, but also in the entire European continent, it is no different from a stock that has continued to fall to the limit. Players who are capable are not interested in it and are unwilling to come. Afraid of being trapped. Even Liverpool's own players were considering escaping from this quagmire.

This was Liverpool when Niang and Chen Xing first took over.

When the media reported that they were seeking to buy Chen Yingxiong, almost no one believed it. The reason is very simple. At that time, Liverpool was simply not qualified to compete with other giants. They wanted results but no results, and they wanted money but no money.

But no one thought that Liverpool would not rely on money or glorious honors to attract Chen Yingxiong in the end, but would play the favor card...

Think about it back then, and then look at how everyone is rushing to join Liverpool now.

Niang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If it weren't for Chen Yingxiong, I don't know how long it would take for the situation to improve.

Why can Liverpool attract the attention of so many players and win their favor now? Isn't it because this Liverpool team can win many championships? It makes those high-level players think that their prices will not drop if they go there. They have goals and goals, and the possibility of realizing their great ideals.

These things finally converged on Chen Yingxiong.

Niang has consciously taken advantage of this before, playing the hero card and telling those hesitant players that we have Chen Yingxiong in our team. With Chen Yingxiong, are you afraid that you will not win the championship?

This is simply an invincible weapon. As long as he says it, the other party's doubts will be dispelled immediately.

But now, there is no need for Niang to consciously take advantage of this, because this has long been spread with Liverpool's journey across Europe last season, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of every player.

It was out of this mentality that Bochetti readily agreed to join Liverpool. Perhaps even Bochetti himself did not realize that this was completely a subconscious idea that dominated him to make this decision.

※ ※ ※

After getting rid of Bochetti himself, Niang officially contacted Florence.

Florence's attitude was also as expected by Boccetti.

They refused, saying Bochetti was not for sale.

As soon as he heard this, Niang smiled.

He had rarely heard the saying that defenders were not for sale, let alone a player like Bocchetti who was neither trained by Florence nor a native of Florence, nor was he the spiritual leader or flag-bearer of the Florence team.

Why did Florence say he was not for sale?

Isn't this obvious?

Fiorentina wants to sell Bochetti, but needs Liverpool to show enough "sincerity".

The so-called "sincerity" means euros or pounds.

Back then, as a native of Rome and a leader trained by Lazio, Nesta was not for sale to Lazio. What was the result? In order to repay debts and reduce financial burden, he was sold to AC Milan.

If Liverpool were rich now and as wealthy as Manchester City, then there would be no suspense at all to deal with Bochetti. They could just use money to kill Fiorentina without any technical skills.

But now Niang doesn't want to spend money so lavishly. This is only Liverpool's first signing this season. If it's just a big deal, how can he lower the price of future signings? By then the whole of Europe will know that Liverpool is a rich man with stupid people and a lot of money. No matter who they want to buy, they will face the seller's malicious price increase.

Not to mention that Liverpool's finances are not very good now because they are burdened with the construction project of Stanley Park Stadium.

Niang had to think carefully.

He wanted Fiorentina to make an offer of five million euros.

This offer was rejected by Fiorentina without hesitation. They even think that Florence is here to entertain them - Florence's main center back, the international player of the Italian national team, second only to the main players Ranocchia and Chiellini in the center back position, is only worth 5 million EUR? What a joke!

Don’t buy our Boccetti if you don’t have money!

The rejection of the five million euros did not surprise Niang.

Negotiation is actually quite skillful. If you bid your price too high at the beginning, you will only be able to increase it in the future, but not lower it. The idea is that if you set the price very low at the beginning, although it may offend the other party, it will also give the other party a psychological hint - I am not easy to deal with, and I will not pay too much.

In this way, when he raises the price slightly later, he may satisfy the other party.

What's more, he still has Coates.

Would Coates want to come to Florence?

That's not a problem, he just wants to go to a team where he can play. Whether it’s the Premier League, Serie A or La Liga. What's more, Florence is not a weak team. At least it can participate in the Europa League. If they are lucky, they can also qualify for the Champions League.

A team like this should be enough for Coates. If Coates is going to a wealthy club... he should know whether he should be a substitute in a wealthy club, just like he is in Liverpool. Since he wants to escape from Liverpool and put aside the honor of four crowns, why would he go to a giant club that is not as good as Liverpool and continue to be a substitute?

Niang thoroughly analyzed the mentality of both parties before he dared to propose this player-plus-cash transaction model.

※ ※ ※

After being rejected by Fiorentina, he made an offer of six million euros.

Unsurprisingly, he was rejected again.

He subsequently rose to seven million euros.

Fiorentina's rejection was not so quick this time. It can be seen that they are already seriously considering this offer.

Fiorentina is not a black shop like Porto and Lyon, and they have to sell each of their players for tens of millions of euros before they give up.

They are well aware of Bochetti's strength and the attractiveness of Liverpool's Bochetti. Compared with Liverpool, Fiorentina, which is not even a wealthy club, is indeed unattractive...

So if they can't keep him, letting him go is the only option, but they also hope that selling him will bring more benefits to the team.

After considering it for a few days, they rejected an offer of seven million euros.

Niang knew he was approaching Fiorentina's bottom line.

This price is still very attractive to Florence. Their refusal is not because they are unwilling to buy, but they are just waiting for a better offer.

But this time Niang did not intend to continue to increase his bid. He bid again, which was seven million euros. Not one point too much, not one point too little.

This time Fiorentina did not reject it directly, they made a new offer to Liverpool. Regarding Bochetti, they hope that Liverpool can offer 10 million euros.

This is simply the lion opening his mouth.

Bochetti is definitely not worth 10 million, otherwise he would not be a substitute for the Italian national team, but an absolute main player.

Secondly, this is just a bargaining strategy. If the lowest offer Fiorentina can accept is 8 million, and if they counter-offer 8.5 million as soon as they come up, it will be difficult to say. Liverpool can take the opportunity to lower the price to even lower than 7 million.

The key is that they are willing to counter-offer, which means that Bochetti is not for sale at all. As long as the price is right, they might even buy one and get one free.

But time was limited, Niang still had a heavy task, and he was not interested in working with Florence for Bochetti. After a month of grinding, he saved half a million.

He directly offered seven million euros, plus one Coates, and then told Florence that this was his bottom line. If Florence did not accept it, then there would be nothing left to talk about.

Today's Liverpool is qualified to be strong.

If it were four years ago, if Liverpool had dared to do this, they would have been kicked out by the opponent: "Buy it if you like it or not, it's rare!"

This time Florence thought about it for a long time.

At this time, Bochetti switched sides and suddenly posted a message on his Twitter: "Maybe it's time to change the environment and accept a new challenge."

This sentence caused a lot of speculation. The media, who have always been paying attention to the transfer market trends, were like sharks following a slave ship. They smelled the smell of blood and swarmed in.

There have been reports and speculation as to whether Boccetti is leaving Fiorentina.

This move put a lot of pressure on Florence.

But it also made them realize that Bochetti had been instigated by Liverpool, and he was now thinking about his new life after joining Liverpool.

Fiorentina knew the situation was over and they were staying with Bochetti.

After some struggle, they agreed to Liverpool's offer.

And just as Niang expected, Coates himself had no resistance to joining Florence. After all, Florence had just let go of a central defender, and he would be able to play the main role when he went to Florence.

Did he also laugh at Bochetti, thinking that joining Liverpool was such an honorable thing? Once you enter a wealthy family, you feel as deep as the sea! Soon you kid will know that the Liverpool you cried for to come to is not a good place anymore!

Of course, these are all Coates' psychological activities. He has no interest in reminding Bochetti. He just wants to escape from Liverpool as soon as possible.

It has to be said that Niang's grasp of people's hearts has reached a high level.

In such an easy way, he completed Liverpool's first transfer transaction this summer.
