Super Marshal
Chapter 441: Gold Broker
La Finca, Madrid.
Ding Dong!
A doorbell rang, awakening the silent Figo couple in the living room.
His wife Helen Xiang sighed, patted her husband's hand comfortingly, got up and walked over to open the door.
Standing outside the door is Figo's friend, the famous lawyer Louis Vicente, who is also the head of the Figo Foundation.
He has cooperated with Figo for many years, and has always been in charge of dealing with the foundation affairs. Later, after Figo stopped cooperating with his agent Jose Vega, he handed over his brokerage affairs to Luis Vicente. .
In addition to Figo, Ronaldo also broke with his two brokers last year and hired Luis Vicente as his own legal broker. As for the specific business affairs, other people are responsible.
Although there are only two players on hand, they are both of the best superstars in the world. Luis Vicente can speak for himself in Real Madrid, and he can meet Florentino.
Today, he just met Florentino.
"Hello, Helen."
"Hello, Louis."
With a greeting at the door, Louis Vicente changed his shoes and walked into the living room.
Figo didn't speak from beginning to end, just raised his head and looked at his friend, his eyes seemed to be asking, how is the situation going? What do they say?
Louis Vicente sat down opposite Figo, Helen came over with a glass of water, placed it in front of him, and sat down next to Figo. This beautiful Swedish woman knew better than anyone else. The husband needs support more than anyone at this time.
"In recent days, the media has been watching very closely, and the reaction of the fans is not small, so they are very cautious. The original plan to meet at the Bernabeu was temporarily changed and went to the headquarters of acs group.
In addition to being the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino is also the chairman of the acs group, the largest construction group in Europe, and he is one of the top construction tycoons in Europe.
When the wind is so tight outside, going to the acs group headquarters to meet is even more evasive.
"What did he say?" Figo asked coldly.
For Florentino, he has never had a very good impression, but it is not too bad.
He knew from the first meeting that Florentino was a very realistic and very shrewd businessman.
"He told me very clearly that they are studying whether to put you on the U.S. list."
Figo nodded dumbly, as if he wasn't surprised.
Real Madrid's training camp this summer is to go to the United States for more than half a month of training, and then to China, which can be called a intensive flight training, and it is expensive, and the team members can save money.
From this sentence of Florentino, Figo can feel what the management means, that is, they have made a clear attitude and will send Figo away from the Bernabeu this summer.
"What then?" Figo asked still coldly.
Luis Vicente suddenly felt something in his heart when he saw Figo's appearance.
It has always been said that professional players eat their youth, but only like him, he has witnessed Figo coming to the Bernabéu from the former top star in the world with his incomparable halo. In just a few years, he is as gray as now. He was almost driven to leave the team.
The taste and gap in this are really sad.
But this is professional football!
"Liverpool has made it clear that it is no longer interested in you, and Chelsea is also not planning to participate. Nowadays, no teams in the entire European football team have shown their intentions. Therefore, Florentino also said that Real Madrid is willing to make concessions. "
This should have been good news, but Figo still had a cold face.
"They are willing to give up their original insistence and let us find the team by ourselves. At the same time, they are also willing to pay a compensation."
The so-called compensation is actually a kind of compensation in disguise.
Figo's annual salary in Real Madrid is as high as 6 million euros, which is a very high price. Looking at the entire European football scene, I am afraid that only a few of the rich can afford it.
But the problem is, Figo is already 33 years old, and which team is willing to pay him such a high salary?
Therefore, generally speaking, when European teams clean up this type of players in advance, they will give a compensation fee, which is called compensation. The amount is probably between the salary of the team during the contract period and the annual salary of the new team. Difference.
It can be said that in the past half a month, Real Madrid has retired and then retired, and now even pay to let Figo leave early, which shows how determined to send Figo away.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Figo and Rosenborg is already incompatible, and the latter is now the head coach that Florentino relies on the most, carrying all the hopes for the revival of the Galaxy battleship, so the only one who leaves is Figo.
But for Figo, leaving is easy, but where to go is difficult.
He was unwilling to retire, where could he go?
Looking at the entire European football scene, which team is willing to accept such a veteran with both high age and annual salary?
Even if he was once the best superstar on the planet.
The three people in the living room fell silent one after another.
This is a very real and very difficult problem.
At this moment, Louis Vicente's cell phone rang suddenly, and the hearts of all three of them jumped.
At first glance, the electric display turned out to be Jorge Mendes?
"What is he calling for now?" Luis Vicente asked wonderingly.
But who knows?
"Hello, hello, Jorge." Louis Vicente still connected the phone.
This is now the most powerful agent in the entire Iberian Peninsula, even if he dare not easily offend him.
"Hello, Louis." Mendes on the other side laughed. "I just came over to do something for Mr. Gao Han. I saw your car and parked in La Finca. Are you at Figo's house?"
Luis Vicente glanced at the Figo and his wife and nodded: "Yeah, let's talk about something."
"Can I come in for a few words?" Mendes asked again.
Luis Vicente was a little embarrassed. He covered the microphone and looked at the Figo and his wife. "It's Mendes. He said he came to work for Gao Han and wants to come in and talk."
The entire Portuguese football circle knows that Figo’s former agent Jose Vega and Mendes are rivals. The two even fought at the airport, and Jose Vega personally matched Chelsea and Mourini. Ao, let Gao Han leave angrily.
Although Figo's cooperation with Jose Vega has ceased, he has no contact with Mendes.
"He has a lot of connections in European football, maybe he can really help." Luis Vicente persuaded.
Figo thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
No way, the situation is better than people.
"Of course, I will come out to pick you up right away." Louis Vicente laughed.
Not long after, Luis Vicente brought in a middle-aged Portuguese man in suit and leather shoes from outside the door. The two talked and laughed along the way. After entering the door, they greeted the Figo and his wife enthusiastically. It's an opponent, but it's like an old friend I haven't seen for many years.
Seeing Jorge Mendes, Figo not only sighed at his past.
Once upon a time, this was a running agent that he didn't even look at, but now, he is already a well-known gold broker in European football and even the whole world.
The changes in this world are indeed fast enough!
The high-cold mansion is indeed nearby, close to the Atletico Madrid stars such as Xavi Alonso, Torres and Villa, and Real Madrid superstars such as Raul, Zidane and Ronaldo. .
But Figo and others would never believe that Mendes happened to pass by.
The Portuguese gold medalist didn't intend to conceal it either. After a polite greeting, he sat down and looked directly at Figo.
"Louis, are you interested in playing for Inter Milan?"
Such a straightforward and straightforward question stunned the three of Figo sitting across from him.
…………
…………
Half an hour later, Mendes left Figo's mansion in the farewell of Vicente and Figo.
As soon as he returned to his car, Mendes took out his cell phone and called Gao Han.
"I talked to him, and he said it would be interesting to think about it." Mendeshui reported.
Gao Han on the other side of the phone smiled slightly, "I will let Josep call him again, and then I will talk to him in person."
It can be seen that Gao Han is very interested in Figo.
Josep Guardiola and Figo are close friends, and the relationship between the two is as good as a brother. It is ideal for Guardiola to persuade Figo.
"I don't quite understand, why do you value Figo so much?" Mendes was puzzled.
A veteran in his thirties, he is already very old. As for?
"Jorge, you have to understand that veterans have veteran usage. Figo is indeed old and can't get up on the wing. But once his type of player is used, it will definitely surprise everyone. of."
Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled again, "Furthermore, Figo's condition is also very good."
Mendes was speechless now.
He admires Gao Han's vision more than anyone. In the past few years, Gao Han has not missed any players he has appointed him.
With a 100% success rate, Mendes paid homage to this point.
"By the way, how about the midfielder and central defender I asked you to find?" Gao Han asked.
Mendes bitterly said, "The central defender has some eyebrows, but it's hard to find a midfielder."
"Your work efficiency seems to be low recently." Gao Han smiled.
"Big brother, it's not that my efficiency is low, it's that your requirements are too high, you have to be able to run, your physical fitness is not bad, your feet are finer, and both offensive and defensive... Oh my god, no one in the world puts it so harsh Required?" Mendes was wronged.
"It depends on who is right, you are not an ordinary person." Gao Han laughed and encouraged.
"Well, don't worry about the midfielder, take your time, collect a list of central defenders and show it to me."
Mendes could only agree.
"Do you remember Pascal, the Czech agent?"
"Well, remember, what's the matter?" How could Gao Han forget?
Dario Srna, Jankulovsky and Peter Cech were all transferred to Atletico Madrid after Pascal’s hands. Although these players were later included in Mendes, Pascal has therefore become a part of the Mendes scout network, responsible for Eastern Europe.
"He recommended a few players to me~lightnovelpub.net~ including midfielders and central defenders. They said they met your requirements. I plan to go over and see for myself. You know, this guy is pretty reliable."
Gao Han on the phone said, "Call me if you have any news."
After Mendes hung up the phone, he shook his head with a wry smile. He was born to work hard.
However, he admired Gao Han from the bottom of his heart.
In the past few years, without Gao Han, his career would not have developed so fast.
Therefore, as long as it is Gao Han's request, no matter how hard and tired, he will not complain.
