Although Van Nistelrooy is already 32 years old, there are still many clubs interested in him because he is in good condition. After all, this may be his last contract, and of course Lister will have to discuss it with Van Nistelrooy.
"Rister, what do you think?"
When Van Nistelrooy came to Real Madrid, he signed an almost lifelong contract. Because his contract was signed until 2010, by which time he was already thirty-four years old. And there was a clause in the contract at that time, that is, as long as
If Van Nistelrooy could play more than 25 games, his contract would be automatically extended for one year. The contract he signed at that time was a veritable lifetime contract. However, he did not expect that Florentino would come back again, and Ruud van Nistelrooy would have to find another employer.
"Rudd, you have three choices."
For teenage players, an agent of List's level can definitely help them make a choice. But when it comes to Ruud van Nistelrooy, List will give him advice, and in the end it still depends on their own choice.
"The first one is of course to go to a wealthy club. You are not short of pursuits from wealthy clubs now. You are now a free agent. Inter Milan and Milan are interested in you, and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League are also interested in you. Of course you go, maybe
It's difficult to play the main role, and they will ask you to lower your salary."
Ruud van Nistelrooy has been playing in wealthy clubs since he joined PSV. First he went to Eindhoven, then to Manchester United, and finally to Real Madrid. After this period, he played in the wealthy clubs for ten years. Like Van Nistelrooy
Such a forward who is in good condition and has rich experience is in great need of many wealthy clubs. But it is very difficult to play the main force, so it can only be used as a supplement.
"The second is to go to some ordinary strong teams. They need champion players like you and hope to gain your influence. In this way, you can guarantee the main force for one or two seasons and also guarantee your salary. I feel for you now.
There are many strong teams interested, including Schalke and Hamburg from the Bundesliga."
"The third is to go to the Middle East or the American Major League to play football. Their salaries are high there, but then you will completely disappear from the mainstream European leagues."
In fact, these three choices are the same for many older top stars. Either stay in a wealthy club and maintain the reputation of a wealthy player. Or, for the main position, find a club that can play as the main player. The last is
For future life, go to a place with high salary to retire. For List, these three methods are feasible, and List has enough connections to operate.
After Ruud thought for a while, he said to Riester: "Let's play the game. I don't want to retire yet."
"knew."
In a simple sentence, Ruud made his attitude clear. Whether he goes to a wealthy club, the Middle East or the United States, he is actually going to retire. Since he doesn't want to retire, he just wants to play games. Ruud has expressed his attitude. Of course, List must be satisfied.
.For List, in addition to making money when they are young, they also have to arrange things at the end of their careers.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's matter is easy to say and difficult to say. The simple thing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently a free agent and Real Madrid is willing to let Ruud van Nistelrooy leave freely. Therefore, as long as Ruud van Nistelrooy is interested, it is easy to reach an agreement. And Ruud van Nistelrooy himself
is in good shape and there is no shortage of buyers. But the difficulty is that Van Nistelrooy's annual salary is 6 million euros after tax. This salary is really too high. In the current European football world, Ruud van Nistelrooy's annual salary is 6 million euros after tax.
The salary in euros is a salary that can be ranked in the top fifteen. Even if Real Madrid and Manchester City hadn't suddenly raised player salaries too high this time, Ruud van Nistelrooy's salary could be ranked in the top ten.
Even Real Madrid believes that Van Nistelrooy's salary is too high and is unwilling to let him stay in Real Madrid for retirement. Not to mention many other strong teams, none of them can afford Van Nistelrooy's high salary.
After successively contacting Tottenham and Stoke City, List immediately gave up contact with them. Because none of them were willing to afford Ruud van Nistelrooy's high salary, they were willing to give Van Nistelrooy at most 3 million euros after tax.
In terms of taxes in England, three million euros after tax means six million euros a year. This is a very high expenditure for them.
List is a little helpless. If it is possible, List really wants Van Nistelrooy to stay at Real Madrid. Anyway, Real Madrid will pay Van Nistelrooy 6 million euros in taxes. But List needs face, and Van Nistelrooy needs face even more. As a member of the small restricted area,
Ruud van Nistelrooy will not stay with Real Madrid for a little money.
In a short period of time, List finally found a good club, that is, Hamburg Club of the Bundesliga. Hamburg is willing to provide Ruud van Nistelrooy with a high salary of 5 million euros after tax, but there are also some additional conditions. For example, if this season
Hamburg failed to qualify for the Champions League, so Ruud van Nistelrooy could only receive 4 million euros after tax, and Hamburg would have to reduce Ruud van Nistelrooy's salary by 20%.
Not only this clause, but also a condition. That is if Ruud van Nistelrooy is injured, especially a serious injury, they will also reduce Ruud van Nistelrooy's salary. Especially if Ruud van Nistelrooy's injury lasts for more than six weeks, then his salary will be reduced after six weeks.
It will be paid by the Industrial Accident Insurance Association of the same industry. At that time, Van Nistelrooy will only be able to receive a maximum of euros a month.
This contract is not harsh, it can only be said that Hamburg is very smart. They are not sure whether a 32-year-old player like Ruud van Nistelrooy can help Hamburg. Riester is more hesitant, but Ruud van Nistelrooy has no
After hesitating, he signed his name directly. Lister also breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, List's players began to enter the Bundesliga in large numbers. After Ruud van Nistelrooy arrived in Hamburg, List soon came into contact with Schalke. Schalke is a relatively wealthy club and paid 18 million euros to bring them in.
Huntelaar who joined Eindhoven. Based on Huntelaar's performance in the Eredivisie, he should have moved to a wealthy club.
But Riester was a step too slow in dealing with Huntelaar, causing him to lose the best transfer opportunity. After several big clubs made moves this season, Huntelaar suddenly had nowhere to go and became very
It’s embarrassing. But Huntelaar is not young anymore, already 25 years old. If he doesn’t transfer, he is likely to be completely useless in the Eredivisie. Therefore, after the selection, Riester chose the strong Bundesliga team Schal.
gram.
"Pini. This summer's transfer market is the hottest since I became an agent."
List has just negotiated a transfer with Chelsea, which should be a transfer that has been discussed for a long time. The transfer of Ivanovic, whom Chelsea has been eyeing since the winter, has finally been concluded.
Chelsea despises Manchester City as a "nouveau riche". Ivanovic is obviously a player worth around 10 million pounds. You, a "nouveau riche", have inflated the player's value too high. Thiago Xi
How could Silva and Krarov be worth so much? It’s all the fault of this “upstart”. Sparta Prague used the standards of Krarov and Thiago Silva to bargain with Chelsea. This summer’s transfer
If the market is abnormal anyway, then let it continue to be abnormal. In the end, Chelsea spent 17 million pounds to introduce Ivanovic from Sparta Prague.
"Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all crowded together."
Pini Zahavi also shook his head. If their transfers could be separated in time periods, then there would never be a situation like this summer. It is precisely because they spent too much money that they messed up the entire transfer market.
.After they made a mess, player transfer fees began to skyrocket, forcing many strong teams to follow suit.
Because things are very simple now. Either you follow suit and buy players, or you don't buy players this summer. Many strong teams will not be able to keep up with development if they don't buy players. So they can only hold their noses and endure it for once.
"By the way, are you going to Tottenham this afternoon?"
"Well. Tottenham also want to buy players."
Tottenham were the most poached players this summer. First of all, they poached Hleb. After Pellegrini arrived at Manchester City, he remembered his disciple. Within two days, Barcelona won the European Cup.
The fiery Arshavin was brought to Camp Nou. But it was not over yet. Ferguson of Manchester United took away Berbatov for 32 million pounds.
During this summer, Tottenham sold three general players and received more than 100 million euros in transfer fees. All outstanding players left. Tottenham received hundreds of millions of euros in transfer fees. Of course, they have to spend them. In fact,
Tottenham have sold many high-priced players in the past few seasons, from Mohamed Diarra to Malouda, Carrick, Hleb, Arshavin, and Berbatov. Tottenham can earn a lot of money from selling these players.
Made a lot of money.
This is not just the case for Tottenham. Atletico Madrid also poached Torres and Alves this summer. Maxi Rodriguez also left Atletico Madrid. Even the midfielder added
Go and Rosicky are all eyeing by other giants. After these players left, Atletico Madrid also received more than 100 million euros in transfer fees. In the first round, it was the upstarts and Real Madrid, and Barcelona made their efforts, and then they sold important players.
The players' Atletico Madrid and Tottenham are about to exert their strength.

"Lister, your price is too high."
"high?"
Riester shook his head and said to Comolli: "Damian, I am following Sparta Prague's standards for selling people this season. You should know that this season Thiago Silva, Ivan
What is the transfer fee for Norwich and Krarov? I got the price based on their transfer fee."
The person opposite Lister is Tottenham's sporting director Damian Comolli. Speaking of Comolli, this person is quite famous, and almost everyone in the current English football world knows it.
This man was a scout for Arsenal in his early years. When he joined Arsenal in 1996, he was only 23 years old. And he happened to meet a Bole. Don't think that only players need Bole. In fact, scouts also need Bole.
Bole. This person did not perform well in the early stage of Arsenal, but as his cooperation with Wenger got better and better, he began to become famous in English football.
Because many of the young players he introduced to Arsenal were liked by Wenger, and the players' fame greatly increased after being trained by Wenger. Comolli also became famous as a scout. At Arsenal at that time, although he
Not the chief scout, but the second scout after Stephen Lawley.
Later, Arnesen jumped to Chelsea in 2006, so George Levy dug Comolli to Tottenham and made him the director of football. When he came to Leicester to introduce Bale last season, it was Comolli who
Profitable.
Of course, historically, this guy ended up working with Dalglish in Liverpool. After bringing in a lot of household registration books, Dalglish’s performance was too poor. Liverpool can’t blame Dalglish, a famous Liverpool star, but
Comolli was fired.
"Lister, you and I both know what is going on in the transfer market this summer. This is not the first time we have done business. The price is really too high."
"Damien, there is no way. The current market situation is like this. I want to give you a preferential price, but Sparta Prague won't do it. The price has already been increased. Either keep up or abandon it."
Comolli smiled bitterly. He also said that if you don't work in Sparta Prague, wouldn't Sparta Prague be your back garden? But Comolli also knows that under the current market situation, he can't lower the price even if he wants to.
.More importantly, everyone now knows that Tottenham has money. They sold so many good players in the summer and are waiting to sign them. It seems that the price cannot be kept down. (To be continued...)
