Chapter 187 Let's go together!

Aurelio de Laurentiis answered a call, and the caller ID was from Chen Yingxiong's vampire agent. But when they picked it up, it was Chen Yingxiong who spoke.

"Mr. De Laurentiis, I want to ask if you still have a shortage of people in Naples?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"It's none of my business, hero. It's the job of the team manager and the head coach." Although the call came out of nowhere, De Laurentiis answered patiently.

"That's right, I want to recommend someone to you. I think since you have such great ambitions and you have a second five-year plan to become the world's top giants within five years, then you must need a lot of outstanding players to help you complete this plan, right?"

"So what do you have a good candidate for?" De Laurentiis asked with a smile.

"My good friend, the number one star of Zenit St. Petersburg, the absolute core, the captain of the Russian national team, No. 10 Andrei Arshavin."

De Laurentiis didn't know Arshavin well enough, and he wasn't the kind of professional who knew a lot about football. Of course, he rarely heard of Arshavin.

"He wanted a change of scenery, so I recommended you to him. I think if you really have ambitions, he is a player you must not miss. I hope you can bring him to Naples with me."

"Okay, I'll call Pierre Paul." The "Pierre Paul" in De Laurentiis's mouth is "Marino". "But I hope we can sign the contract first. Are you satisfied with the terms of the contract we proposed?"

"Very satisfied. But I hope to sign after you settle Arshavin's transfer. Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. I just hope to attend the signing ceremony with my good friends."

De Laurentiis didn't expect Chen Yingxiong to have such thoughts. He must be afraid that he agreed to him but didn't work hard to promote Arshavin's transfer, so he made his transfer a condition for taking Arshavin away...

This kid!

"Well, I will urge Pierre Paul to finish this matter as soon as possible..." He replied with some helplessness. If an ordinary player dares to threaten him by making such demands on him, he doesn't mind letting that bastard know how good he is. But now he actually agreed to Chen Yingxiong's request.

I have to say, it's because this kid has some kind of similar temperament with him.

Pierpaolo Marino was a little surprised after receiving a call from his boss. What's wrong with the boss who has never been involved in the club's management? Not only intervened, but also intervened twice. Once, he personally instructed that Chen Yingxiong must be taken down, and once this time, he personally called to tell him that he must sign Chen Yingxiong's teammate Arshavin in Zenit.

Who is Arshavin? He knows a little bit about it, and it's a really good player. It's just that his contract with Zenit did not expire at the end of this year, and he is a native of St. Petersburg, who is the core of Zenit. Want to take him away? That's not easy...

But now that the boss has given orders, what else can he do?

Go try it!

After all, he is also an excellent player. If he can really transfer over, it will only be good for Naples, and there will be no harm.

Hearing that the negotiations between Chen Yingxiong and the Naples club are going well, Sasania is in a good mood recently. Chen Yingxiong, who was destined to leave, was sold for 15 million euros, and how much did he cost the club when he joined the team? Not a single ruble!

Net profit ah!

In order to calm the anger of Advocaat's lover being sold, he has decided to unconditionally agree to Advocaat's request to introduce Tomsco center Pogrebnyak. Compared with Chen Yingxiong, Tomsco's leading shooter is much cheaper. Last season, he ranked third in the league scorer list. Just like the relationship between his scorer list and Chen Yingxiong's ranking, his worth is only about one-third of Chen Yingxiong's worth.

Just when he was thinking about what to do with the fifteen million euros he earned from selling Chen Yingxiong, he received a call from Pierpaolo Marino, the general manager of the Naples club.

Due to the cooperation and contact on Chen Yingxiong's transfer, the two clubs no longer communicate through official methods such as fax. Instead, the general manager of the club directly calls the general manager of the other club, which is faster and more convenient.

"Good morning, Mr. Sasania, oh...it should already be afternoon over there, right?"

"Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Marino, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this... I want to ask, how much is Andrei Arshavin in your team?"

When the name was spoken by Marino, Sasania's hand trembled, and he almost missed his microphone. He thought he had heard wrong.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marino...I didn't catch it, can you repeat that?"

So Marino repeated his words again. In fact, when he heard Sasania's rhetorical question, he felt that this matter was tricky...

really.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marino. Shava is the symbol of Zenit St. Petersburg, the core, and the star player loved by all Zenit fans. He is our priceless treasure...We will not sell him." Sasania replied, and his tone was very firm, the firmness of "this matter is not discussed".

Chen Yingxiong can be sold because he was not trained by us, and we have no feelings for him. He has not played for Zenit for seven or eight years, he is not from St. Petersburg, and he is not the captain of the Russian national team... In short, it is not difficult for us to find a replacement for a center who can score goals in a team. But there is always a person in a team whose value and status cannot be measured by money. Fans and the media like to call such players "spiritual leader" and "banner", while our managers call him... "not for sale".

But Marino doesn't think so. Since he was the general manager of Udinese, the word "not for sale" has not been in his dictionary, or he has another explanation for this word-the so-called "not for sale" is just because your bid is not high enough.

When Nesta made his debut in Lazio, he quickly became the captain of the team at a young age. He was considered by the media and fans to be the core, leader, and banner of Lazio's future. The result? In order to help Lazio pay off his debts, he was sold to AC Milan.

Earlier, Batistuta, the eternal pride and pain of Florence. He was once synonymous with loyalty and the flag of Fiorentina. In order to express their love for him, Fiorentina fans even erected a bronze statue of him outside the Frankie Stadium. But he moved to Rome for a league title, and his bronze statue was pulled down by sad and angry Fiorentina fans.

This is even more the case with Udinese. If a small club wants to survive, it is absolutely impossible to raise a lot of loyalists. Why did Udinese under him have a good financial and competitive harvest? It is because he has such an idea-to poach young players with development potential at a low price, and then give them a super long-term contract to lock them up. The salary is not high, but Udinese never defaults, which is very rare among most small and medium teams in Italy. Thanks to this, Udinese has attracted many young players to vote, especially those South American players, who are very cost-effective, and they are usually related to Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy. They can obtain Italian nationality and do not occupy non-EU quotas.

Then Udinese cultivated them, and they helped Udinese achieve good competitive results. After they become famous and talented, if there is a suitable buyer and price, he will not hesitate to send these players who want to go to a bigger stage. And the transfer fee he recovers is often several times, even ten times more than what he spent on buying those people back then...

One thinks that Arshavin is not for sale, and the other thinks that the so-called not for sale is just because the bid is not high enough.

In this way, a transfer negotiation that should not have happened started under the righteousness of Chen Yingxiong for his friend...

For the player, it is not necessarily clear whether the transfer is beneficial to him. Perhaps this transfer was very successful. The player moved to a new club, changed his previous fate, won more championships, gained more prestige, and made more money. But it may also be a failure, unable to play the game, exhausted confidence, sharply reduced commercial value, precarious status in the world, and ultimately nothing.

But for the agent, the transfer is harmless. Because they can get a cut of the transfer fee, which is what they deserve and is their main source of income.

Therefore, the agents of some players are always encouraging their players to transfer frequently, so that they can make money from a cut of the transfer fee. In some transfer transactions, not only can they get a cut of the transfer fee, but the opposing club also prepares a special commission for them to thank them for persuading players to transfer to the team.

The most famous example is the two older brothers of French striker Anelka. It is their luck to have a talented younger brother, but it is Anelka's misfortune to have two greedy and stupid older brothers. Fueled by the two older brothers, Anelka spent the first half of his career in constant wandering, from club to club, country to country, with his hard-earned money ending up in the pockets of both brothers. Such frequent transfers also made Anelka's football career almost nothing, leaving everyone with the impression that "this kid is a troublesome person and a football bitch who is paid for".

Later, Anelka couldn't bear the behavior of the two brothers, so he fired the two brothers and found a new agent, Pigisi. He successfully moved to Chelsea in January this year, but who knows how long this football prodigal son will stay in Chelsea, maybe soon there will be rumors of his transfer appearing?

This is the fate of players under the control of those agents. Their path is not in their own hands. Those agents will try their best to persuade, coerce and lure players to listen to them, and transfer to those teams that are willing to pay high transfer fees, pay extra commissions to agents, and offer high-salary contracts to players, but they may not be suitable for players. Because of this, brokers can make a lot of money.

Chen Yingxiong gave his agent the name of a vampire count. For those players, their agent was indeed a vampire. But they are not the same as Dracula, they not only suck the blood of both clubs, they mainly live by sucking the blood of players.

Arshavin's agent, Dennis Lachter, was also not a fuel-efficient lamp. A few years earlier, he had been planning to get Arshavin to leave St. Petersburg. Reluctantly, Zenit is very determined to keep Arshavin, and even recommends Arshavin's friends to the club that originally opposed Arshavin, and also wants to prevent the team's flag from being taken away.

But now Ratchet is keenly aware that an excellent opportunity has come.

He doesn't know why Napoli are suddenly interested in his player. But it's good for him, good for his financial interests.

All he has to do is take advantage of the momentum to push this transfer rumor into reality. And all he can do is...put pressure on the club!
