"You are kidding, Mr. Li, this price is too low, the board of directors will never agree to it!"
Hearing Li Shiguang's offer, Galliani immediately pouted his lips and shook his head. If he agreed to this price tonight, he would be killed by Berlusconi when he returned to Milan tomorrow.
After carefully staring at this old man who was still pretending to be cute in his sixties, Li Shiguang returned the ball to him after confirming that he was not acting: "Mr. Galliani, what is your expected offer for Kaka? Give me a price and see if I can satisfy you."
"60 million euros." Galliani answered Li Shiguang's question immediately without thinking. It was obvious that they had already set this price before arriving in Switzerland.
But this price is really a bit outrageous!
After Galliani finished quoting the price, Li Shiguang first winked at Simeone, and Simeone, who reacted, also took out a notebook bag from his briefcase and handed it over.
After opening the notebook, Li Shiguang looked at Galliani and said slowly: "Mr. Galliani, to be honest, the price of 60 million euros is a bit too much."
"But Mr. Li, Kaka..."
Shaking the notebook in his hand towards Galliani, Li Shiguang stretched out his left hand to stop the old man who wanted to add something.
"Mr. Galliani, I am different from you. In addition to being the owner of Leeds United, I am also a head coach. Usually when talking about topics related to players, I like to speak with data! So before coming to Switzerland, I asked my colleagues in the club to help me sort out Kaka's various data from the time he joined AC Milan in 2003 until the game against Reggina two days ago. Including but not limited to goals, assists, probability of threatening passes, running distance, etc.! Do you want to see it?"
Galliani didn't expect Li Shiguang to be so well prepared. After looking at Ancelotti, he smiled awkwardly: "Uh... This is not necessary. Carlo and I are already familiar with these things."
"OK!"
After moving the coffee in front of him, Li Shiguang first placed the notebook on the table facing Galliani, and then continued to express his views.
"Since you and Mr. Ancelotti are very familiar with each other, I will not elaborate on it. But I want to ask you, based on these data, what position do you stand on to think that Kaka is worth 60 million euros now? You should know that Real Madrid only spent 76 million euros to buy Zidane, who plays the same position as him and has won the World Cup, the Golden Ball and the World Footballer of the Year."
"This..." For a moment, Galliani, who has always been called a "negotiation expert" by the outside world, was also blocked by Li Shiguang's well-reasoned remarks and didn't know how to refute it.
But after all, it was a negotiation. Galliani exchanged glances with Ancelotti next to him and insisted on his previous statement: "Mr. Li, I admit that what you said makes sense. But Kaka is in his rising period, and his importance in Milan is self-evident. If he cannot be sold at a suitable price, Milan would rather keep him. We still have one and a half years left in our contract, and Kaka's attitude is more inclined to stay in Serie A. There is still a possibility of renewal between us!"
"Come on, Mr. Galliani." Seeing that Galliani was still stubborn, Li Shiguang showed a sneer on his face, "You don't have to keep emphasizing that Kaka doesn't want to leave Serie A. We all know that he doesn't want to leave Milan. , not Serie A! Serie A is no longer the small World Cup of the past. Your attraction to stars has become lower and lower. This is no secret in the entire European football world. It is no exaggeration to say that Spain and England are the future centers of world football! And Milan's fiscal revenue last year also made your big boss very dissatisfied, right? I heard that Mr. Berlusconi also drastically cut investment in the team? To put it bluntly, can Milan afford the annual salary that Kaka wants for this renewal? "
In Li Shiguang's memory, this year can be said to be the last glory of AC Milan. They avenged Liverpool in the final of the Champions League and won the Champions League, but this only delayed the team's decline. But now it's different. Due to the appearance of Li Shiguang, Liverpool's Champions League qualification this year was replaced by Leeds United, so whether Milan can win the final championship is another matter!
Galliani hasn't been so aggrieved for a long time. Perhaps it was because the air conditioner in the cafe was turned too high. His cheeks were a little red, and his lips kept moving. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing Galliani's slightly embarrassed look, Li Shiguang put a smile back on his face, hugged his hands andHe put his hand back comfortably, and said while the iron was hot: "Let me raise the price for you. Mr. Galliani, I have two offer plans here. You can go back and discuss with your board of directors to see whether to accept them, or which offer plan to accept."
"First, 45 million euros, I will bring Kaka to Leeds United after the end of this season!"
"Second, 50 million euros, let me bring Kaka to Leeds United before the end of the winter transfer window this month!"
"Of course, you can also continue to look for other buyers, but if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no club that offers higher than mine. After all, when Real Madrid offered you the offer before, it only offered more than 20 million euros, hahahahahahaha."
"How do you know..." Galliani was still weighing the pros and cons of the two plans in his mind, but Li Shiguang's last sentence surprised him, "Mr. Li, how do you know the specific price offered by Real Madrid!?"
How do I know?
Nonsense! Raiola had already gotten these things out of Kaka's agent who wanted to make a lot of money.
But Li Shiguang just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer the question directly: "I've said before that the scouts I've spent so much money on are not just for free."
"Okay, Mr. Li." Seeing that Li Shiguang didn't say anything, Galliani didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, "I have to admit that your offer this time does seem to be full of sincerity! But as you said, I must go back and report to Mr. Berlusconi first. You know, he is the one who really makes the final decision!"
"Of course! I've always known it."
Since he got two pretty good offers, Galliani also put aside his hostility towards Li Shiguang, and instead kindly reminded him: "But there is one more thing I want to remind you, even if we agree to let him go, you may need to convince the player himself! As I have always emphasized, Kaka is not willing to leave Milan."
Galliani's words are indeed true.
But for Li Shiguang, he had already thought of a way to control Kaka, so he smiled and nodded, his tone full of confidence.
"No problem, Mr. Galliani, when we really sign the contract, I will naturally visit Milanello in person, and then you just need to cooperate with me..."
