Chapter 344
Seeing that Mendes wanted to talk.
Li Shiguang waved his hand to stop him and said coldly: "Mr. Mendes, I came here with sincerity! I think you are a mature businessman. In this football world, any player or team has his corresponding price. Do you agree with this view?"
"Yes, I agree." Mendes nodded quickly.
As a successful agent, what Mendes hates most is that when helping players negotiate salary increases or transfers, the management of these clubs use so-called loyalty, feelings and other things to make things.
He agrees with what Li Shiguang said. To be honest, this is the first time Mendes has heard such words from a club owner.
Even a cold-blooded person like Florentino has never expressed such explicit meaning in front of Mendes.
"In that case, just tell me which club Cristiano wants to go to!" Li Shiguang looked at Mendes and said, "I think my coaching level is acceptable, and Leeds United's team lineup can definitely satisfy Cristiano's ambitions. Then the rest is nothing more than money. How much salary do other clubs offer him? I can give him at least a third increase on this basis!"
Faced with Li Shiguang's aggressive attitude.
Mendes, who was caught by Li Shiguang for saying the wrong thing just now and was afraid of offending Li Shiguang and not getting any benefits, finally gave up. He replied with a bitter face: "Hey... Mr. Li, please don't spread what I said. If it is spread, it will have some impact on Cristiano in public opinion."
Li Shiguang nodded, very satisfied with Mendes' attitude after he was defeated.
Although he knew that Ronaldo wanted to go to Real Madrid.
But Li Shiguang still wanted Mendes to tell the story himself. This kind of violation of the agent's principles, just like Raiola before, has happened the first time, and then the second time...
"Cristiano wants to go to Real Madrid." Seeing Li Shiguang nodded, Mendes had nothing to hesitate and said directly, "And if nothing unexpected happens, Real Madrid will make a formal offer to Manchester United this winter."
"Sure enough." Li Shiguang leaned back in the chair comfortably, and his tense face just now relaxed instantly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that I was not wrong."
Li Shiguang's expression made Mendes A little confused, he subconsciously leaned forward and asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, do you know about this?"
"What is there to hide?" Li Shiguang shook his head, his eyes full of disdain, "Alex is my good friend. Every time we talk about Cristiano, he will blow his beard and glare, saying that someone wants to buy him! It happens that Mr. Perez is also my good friend, and he has expressed his appreciation for Ronaldo in front of me more than once. In addition to the ups and downs outside, I am not a fool. I can guess it with a little combination!"
"Then you still insist on me saying..." Mendes muttered in a low voice.
But there are only a few people in the box, and no matter how low the voice is, everyone can hear it.
Simeone couldn't help laughing on the spot, and this laughter also slightly warmed up the slightly cold atmosphere in the box just now.
Wait for Simeone to finish laughing.
Li Shiguang also put on a smile on his face again, looked at Mendes, and said softly: "Mr. Mendes, if it is Real Madrid, I think we can compete fairly. In addition, I can also guarantee that if you can help me convince Cristiano, then I can also pay you an additional fee to thank you for your efforts in this transaction."
If he heard this kind of promise in the transfer of other players.
Mendes would definitely be very happy. After all, this is almost like a pie in the sky. It's a waste not to take it.
But Li Shiguang wants to buy Cristiano.
Since Mendes signed Ronaldo, Ronaldo has said to him no less than 20 times in the past five years that he wanted to play for Real Madrid since he was a child.
Faced with a player with such a firm "childhood dream", Mendes didn't know how to persuade him!
After thinking carefully for a while, Mendes decided to tell Li Shiguang his true thoughts. It would be best if he could retreat when he knew the difficulties. If not, he would not offend the big man in front of him again.
"Mr. Li, I have to tell you the truth. It's really difficult for you to buy Cristiano!"
Li Shiguang did not respond, but raised his right hand to signal Mendes to continue.
"If you want this transaction to go smoothly, we have to solve many problems.problems, and these problems....to be honest, are difficult to solve! First of all, the club, let's not talk about whether Ferguson is willing to let him go, even if they are willing to let him go, you just mentioned that Cristiano is an ambitious person. Even if you put aside his dream of playing for Real Madrid since he was a child, in fact, in terms of the club's popularity and influence, your Leeds United and Real Madrid can't compare! This problem is very realistic, we can't escape it! "
"Well... makes sense." Li Shiguang nodded calmly, "Go on."
Seeing that Li Shiguang was not angry about what he had just said, Mendes calmed down a little and continued: "The second is Cristiano himself. Joining Real Madrid has been his dream since he was a child. I know him. With his personality, it's difficult for me to change his dream!"
"Finally, his family! Cristiano's sister, including his mother Dolores, has had enough of the gloomy weather in England. They have said many times in front of Cristiano and me that they want to return to the sunny Spain to live. And Cristiano, on the other hand, respects the opinions of his family very much! "
"Anything else?"
"One last point."
"You say."
Mendes took a sip of coffee, moistened his throat, and said solemnly: "The last point, and the most important one! Even if we quietly solve all the previous problems! Cristiano's contract still has three years left. If Ferguson doesn't let him go, then your wish to introduce Cristiano this year will definitely fail. "
"If we can finally convince Manchester United to let him go, then based on my understanding of the Glazer family, they will never sell Cristiano to you so simply! They will definitely make the information about the sale of Cristiano public, and then it will attract many giants including Real Madrid to compete for him!"
"Finally, things return to the starting point. Facing the recruitment of many giants with much better historical results than Leeds United, what do you think Cristiano will choose at that time?"
