566 Bad Things? Good Things?

"Thirty million euros, Mendes is doing good business."

When Riester arrived in Madrid, Real Madrid had already secured Pepe. Real Madrid signed a five-year contract with Pepe, and the specific transfer fee was not announced. However, Portugal's "Equipe" stated that Real Madrid spent a lot of money to buy Pepe.

Thirty million euros, and many newspapers soon followed suit, saying that this transfer was for thirty million euros.

Thirty million euros is a sky-high transfer price. A central defender who was injured for half a year in the 0607 season and has just had the possibility of entering the Portuguese national team, that is, a second-rate famous central defender, actually reached 30 million euros.

Euros. I can’t figure it out no matter how much I think about it. Even the Lisbon police began to pay attention to this transfer because it was so abnormal. They suspected that there was money laundering, kickbacks, financial fraud, etc.

After hearing that Real Madrid signed Pepe, Lippi even laughed at Real Madrid and said: "Pepe can finally play next to Cannavaro."

"Calderon and Mijatovic are crazy."

List nodded. Although Carvajal didn't say anything, List could understand it if he thought about it. For a player like Pepe, it is already very good if the normal price can exceed 10 million euros. Who can believe it at 30 million euros?

.There must be something very fishy here.

It is absolutely impossible for Porto to really get 30 million euros. They can only get half of it at most. Because even at half the price, their profits are very generous. Where will the rest of the money go? Use your toes.

When I think about it, I can think of it. Calderon, Mijatovic and other Real Madrid executives must have handled it.

"Isn't there any doubt among the Real Madrid members?"

Real Madrid is a member club. Mijatovic spent money so unscrupulously and even made such an inexplicable transfer. Wouldn't Real Madrid members question it and ask Mijatovic for an explanation?

"What's the use."

Carvajal smiled. Then he said: "Real Madrid members are asking for a club meeting and asking Mijatovic to disclose all financial records related to transfers. But you also know that only one person has the right to hold a club meeting, then

It’s Calderon. If Calderon can’t open it, what can they do?”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really a nest of snakes and rats."

Riester really doesn't like Calderon and Mijatovic. Even if they really take kickbacks, they shouldn't be so "chiluo" naked. At least they should maintain a little dignity. But Calderon and Mijatovic

But Vicky is different. Their eating looks are too ugly.

Just after he was elected as the chairman of Real Madrid, he invited all his relatives and friends to the club. They had no shit skills but were able to get high salaries from Real Madrid. Their relatives and friends did nothing and received salary from Real Madrid every year.

It costs hundreds of thousands of euros, or even millions of euros. In addition, you also get commissions for every transfer. Of course, these are nothing, it is a typical one-person success.

But it is too ugly to receive such "chiluo" kickbacks in the transfer process. Since Calderon became the chairman of Real Madrid, no transfer has been normal. If last summer, it was just to increase the commission to divide the money.

It's just a commission. Just like the transfers of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Joaquin. The commission is twice as expensive as normal, and the expensive part is divided among them privately.

If they were still making money with high commissions in the summer, things would completely change starting in the winter. They were no longer satisfied with earning commissions and started manipulating transfer fees directly.

Higuain, a young kid who has just emerged in Argentine football, cost Real Madrid 13 million euros, which is 5 to 6 million euros higher than the real price. If this can be said to be fair, then it cost Pepe.

Thirty million euros, this is simply dumbfounding. At least 15 million euros or more are problematic.

Calderon and Mijatovic are not only ugly, but they are also getting bolder and bolder. Real Madrid is spending a lot of money now, but it has become more and more like a loser, and it is no longer like the Galacticos of the past.

Attraction.

"However, this deal with Lister Mendes has made him famous."

Carvajal had some worries. When Rist first mentioned Mendes to Carvajal a few years ago, Carvajal didn’t really take Mendes to heart. Because Carvajal at that time

He is the number one agent in Spain and has countless Spanish superstar players. At that time, Mendes was just a nouveau riche who took advantage of the pressure on Figel to seize the Portuguese territory. He stayed in Portugal during those years.

In football, there is no comparison with big agents like Carvajal.

But with the contact with Mendes in recent years, Carvajal has paid more and more attention to Mendes. This man has the most popular head coach in world football, Mourinho, and he also has Deco under him.

, Carvalho, Cristiano Ronaldo and other stars are no longer as powerful as they were back then.

Now look at what Mendes did. No matter what the reason was, Mendes was able to sell a centre-back like Pepe, who currently has a second-rate reputation in European football, for a high price of 30 million euros, which instantly made him famous.

Even though he didn't earn a penny from this transfer, this transfer alone earned him a lot of fame.

For agents, this kind of reputation is very important. Mascardi was notorious in Argentine football back then, but why he was able to dominate Argentine football for so many years was not because he was the only one in Argentine football back then.

He has the ability to help Argentinian players go to Europe. And there is Raiola, whose reputation is already stinky. Many top executives of wealthy clubs want to strangle him, but he also has an endless stream of good players. Because he is in the club

He has a poor reputation, but he has a very good reputation among players because he can help players earn a lot of money.

This is what Mendes is like now. Being able to manipulate a player like Pepe and transfer him to Real Madrid at such a high price is his ability. Carvajal, as the most influential agent in Real Madrid, faced an outstanding player like Mendes.

The opponent is also worried.

"Yes. Mendes is now full-fledged."

Riester has tried his best to suppress Mendes, and Mendes's momentum is indeed not as good as it was in history. But with the transfer of Pepe, Mendes can be said to have broken out, and his momentum is no less than that of Reese.

Special agents like Carvajal.

"But it's also a good thing."

"Good thing?"

Riester nodded. Although Riester was not very satisfied with Mendes's limelight this time, Riester was very satisfied with Pepe's 30 million euros. So he smiled and said: "Think about it, Pepe is such a

Rookie defenders cost 30 million euros. How much will the transfer fees for European football players be in the future? I have many top center backs now, and now that I have Pepe as my coordinate, my players cannot be cheap."

There is no shortage of good central defenders for Leicester. Thiago Silva, Benatia, Subotic, these central defenders are all top-notch central defenders. In the future, Leicester will sell for more than 30 million euros.

.

"Haha, Lister. You can even think of going there."

"Of course. With things like this, we still have to think about the positive side."

I really admire Mendes, this bastard, List. So far, List has made many transfers worth more than 40 million euros. This was the case from Pavel Nedved to Franck Ribery, and Messi. But List has never done so.

This is the moment when a rookie player like Pepe can be sold for 30 million.

"But Gines, I think Calderon and Mijatovic won't be able to play for a few years if they play like this."

"Yeah. Compared with Florentino, Calderon is simply too bad."

Only through comparison can we see the good and the bad. When Florentino's superstar policy went bankrupt, many people criticized Florentino. At that time, many fans believed that Florentino's policy was wrong and he should be responsible for leaving. His

The superstar policy is completely reckless and does not understand the laws of football.

But when Florentino left and Calderon became the chairman of Real Madrid, everyone realized that compared to Florentino, Calderon was simply the fool among fools. Although Florentino's later achievements

It's bad, but Real Madrid has never lacked superstar players. Even if the results are poor, Real Madrid's attractiveness is the first in European football.

But look at Calderon. The players he introduced after taking office are completely incomparable with those when Florentino was there. More importantly, Calderon has never made as sensational transfers as Florentino. On the contrary, he has retained

Made a lot of transfer jokes.

"Have you seen Florentino recently?"

"I've seen it. He is busy taking care of his company. The economy in the United States has not been very good recently. He is now worried that it will affect his company."

"Well. Has he ever said he wants to come back?"

Although Calderon is very poor, List also despises him. But it is precisely because of Calderon's lack of control. Therefore, the influence of Carvajal and List in Real Madrid has increased sharply. If Florentino comes back again

, when the time comes, Carvajal and Riester will have to change their style of play.

"Still waiting and watching."

Carvajal understands what Lister means. For Lister and Carvajal, the most worrying thing is still Florentino's comeback. But looking at Calderon's current virtue, Carvajal knows that as long as

If Lorentino comes back, it will be difficult for Calderon, a fool, to stop him. Florentino has already quit Real Madrid for a year and a half, but his influence still surrounds Real Madrid.

"Looks like you and I still need to maintain some relationship with Florentino."

"kindness."

"By the way, Soldado, what do you think? You want me to tell you not to let him come back."

Soldado was loaned to Osasuna last season. His performance was pretty good. He scored 11 La Liga goals in one season. Real Madrid took him back this season.

"You have somewhere to go."

"Extremadura Club. They just sold Alves and Milito recently and have money. They are ready to bring in several outstanding players. I sent my players Mata and Michu there.

.”

"Are they those two people from Real Madrid's youth training camp?"

"Well, there is no chance to enter the first team anyway, so I might as well go out and have a try. I think Soldado will also transfer. The transfer fee of four to five million euros can be easily afforded by Extremadura Club.

.”

Soldado's later performance at Tottenham was poor, but he has always performed well in La Liga. The Extremadura club just sold Alves to Alves for an astonishing 26 million euros in the summer.

Atletico Madrid sold Milito to Fiorentina for 18 million euros. After two transfers, List received tens of millions of euros in Extremadura, and another from Atletico Madrid.

A commission of more than 1.4 million euros. After selling two players, the Extremadura club happened to have money on hand and hoped to strengthen the team's strength.

"That's okay. I don't want Robert to follow Javier's path."

Portillo was also a player of Carvajal back then. At that time, he was too obsessed with playing in Real Madrid. Now he has disappeared from everyone and can only play in the second division. When he just debuted, he was in the youth team.

His performance is even better than that of Raul. Carvajal does not want Soldado to be like Portillo.

"Okay. I'll ask Extremadura to make an offer to Real Madrid. Not only Soldado, but I think Negredo should be rented out as soon as possible. There is no chance in Real Madrid."

"I'll consider it."
