Chapter 441 Gold brokerage(1/2)
Rafenca Community, Madrid.
Dingdong!
A doorbell sounded, awakening the silent Figo couple in the living room.
His wife Helen sighed, patted her husband's hand comfortably, got up and walked over to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Figo's friend, the famous lawyer Louis Vicente, who was also the head of the Figo Foundation.
He has worked with Figo for many years and has always been responsible for the management of the foundation. Later, after Figo stopped working with his agent Jose Vega, he handed over all his agency affairs to Louis Vicente.
In addition to Figo, Ronaldo also broke up with two of his agents last year and hired Louis Vicente as his legal agent. As for the specific business matters, it was left to others to take charge.
Although he only has two players, he is one of the best superstars in the world. Luis Vicente is a good word in Real Madrid and can meet the above characters with Florentino.
And today, he just met Florentino.
"Hello, Helen."
"Hello, Louis."
There was a greeting at the door, and Louis Vicente changed his shoes and walked into the living room.
Figo didn't say anything from beginning to end, just raised his head and looked at his friend, his eyes as if asking, how was the progress of the matter? What did they say?
Louis Vicente sat down opposite Figo, and Helen brought a glass of water and sat down next to him. The beautiful Swedish woman knew better than anyone else, and her husband needed support more than anyone else at this time.
"The media has been watching it very tightly in recent days, and the fans have responded a lot, so they are very cautious. The original plan to meet at the Bernabeu has also temporarily changed the location and went to the headquarters of the ACS Group."
In addition to being the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino is also the chairman of the AS Group, the largest construction group in Europe, and is one of the top tycoons in Europe.
With such a tight rumor outside, it is even more eye-catching to meet at the ACS Group headquarters.
"What did he say?" Figo asked coldly.
He has never had a good impression of Florentino, but it is not too bad.
From the first meeting he knew that Florentino was a very realistic and very smart businessman.
“He told me clearly that they were working on whether to put you on the big list of Americans.”
Figo nodded dullly, not seemingly surprised by this.
Real Madrid's training camp this summer will be a training camp in the United States for more than half a month, and then in China. It can be said to be a intensive flight training camp, and it is expensive, and the team members can save as much as possible.
From Florentino's words, Figo could feel the management's meaning, that is, they have already made a clear attitude and will send Figo away from the Bernabeu this summer.
"What?" Figo asked coldly.
When Louis Vicente saw Figo's appearance, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
It has always been said that professional players are a feast for youth, but only like him, who witnessed Figo from the former world-class superstar, coming to the Bernabeu with an extremely halo. In just a few years, he was almost driven away from the team as he is now.
The taste and difference between this is really sad.
But this is professional football!
"Liverpool has made it clear that it is no longer interested in you, and Chelsea does not intend to participate. Now, no team in the entire European football world has expressed their intentions, so Florentino also said that Real Madrid is willing to give in."
This should have been good news, but Figo still had a cold face.
"They are willing to give up their original persistence and let us find the team ourselves, and at the same time, they are willing to pay a compensation."
The so-called compensation is actually a disguised compensation.
Figo's annual salary in Real Madrid is as high as 6 million euros, which is a very high sky-high price. Looking at the entire European football world, I'm afraid only a very small number of wealthy families can afford it.
But the question is, Figo is already 33 years old, 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, and the amount is probably the difference between the team's salary during the contract and the annual salary of the new team.
It can be said that over the past half month, Real Madrid has been retreating again and again, and now it is even willing to pay money to let Figo leave early, which shows how determined to send Figo away.
Everyone knows that there is no match for Figo and Lucemberg, while the latter is the head coach Florentino now relies on the most, carrying all the hopes of the revival of the Galaxy battleship, so it is only Figo who will leave.
But for Figo, it is easy to leave, but it is difficult to go wherever you go.
He was unwilling to retire now, so where could he go?
Looking at the entire European football world, which team is willing to accept such a veteran who is both old and annual salary?
Even if he was once the best superstar on this planet.
The three people in the living room fell into silence.
This is a very realistic and very difficult problem.
At this moment, Louis Vicente's cell phone suddenly rang, which shocked the three of them.
When I saw the caller ID, it turned out to be Jorge Mendes?
"What is he going to do when he calls?" Louis Vicente asked in wonder.
But who knows?
"Hey, hello, Jorge." Louis Vicente answered the phone.
This is the most powerful agent in the entire Iberian Peninsula now, and even he dare not offend him easily.
"Hello, Louis." Mendes on the other side of the phone laughed, "I just came over to do something for Mr. Gao Han. When I saw your car, I parked in Rafenka. Are you at Figo's house?"
Louis Vicente glanced at the Figo and his wife and nodded, "Yes, talk about something."
"Can I come in and talk for a few words?" Mendes asked again.
Louis Vicente was a little embarrassed, covered the microphone and looked at the Figo couple, "It's Mendes. He said he was here to do something for Gao Han and wanted to come in and talk."
The entire Portuguese football circle knows that Figo's former agent Jose Vega and Mendes were mortal enemies, and the two even fought at the airport. Jose Vega even matched Chelsea and Mourinho with his own hands, which made Gao Han leave in anger.
Although the cooperation between Figo and Jose Vega has stopped, there is no contact with Mendes.
"He has a wide connection in European football, and maybe he can really help," advised Louis Vicente.
Figo thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
There is no way, the situation is better than that of others.
"Of course, I'll come out and pick you up right away." Louis Vicente smiled.
Not long after, Louis Vicente brought in a Portuguese middle-aged man in a suit from outside the gate. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way. After entering the door, they greeted Figo and his wife enthusiastically. Not only did they look like opponents, but they looked like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
Seeing Jorge Mendes, Figo not only sighed at his past.
Once upon a time, this was a single agent who he didn't even look at, but now he is a well-known gold medal agent in European football and even the whole world.
The world is changing fast enough!
Gao Han's mansion is indeed nearby, and is close to the stars of Atletico Madrid such as Xavi Alonso, Torres, Villa, and Real Madrid superstars such as Raul, Zidane and Ronaldo.
But Figo and others would not believe that Mendes happened to pass by.
The Portuguese gold medal agent did not intend to hide it. After politely greeting each other, he looked at Figo as soon as he sat down.
"Luis, are you interested in playing football for Inter Milan?"
Such a straightforward question, such a straightforward question, made Figo and the other two sitting opposite stunned.
…………
…………
Half an hour later, Mendes left Figo's mansion with 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 he would be very interested in thinking about it." Mendes reported.
Gao Han on the other side of the phone smiled slightly after hearing this, "I will ask Josep to call him again, and I will talk to him personally."
It can be seen that Gao Han is very interested in Figo.
Josep Guardiola and Figo are close friends. The relationship between them is as good as a brother. Guardiola will convince Figo. That is the most ideal thing.
"I don't understand very much, why do you value Figo so much?" Mendes was very puzzled.
A veteran in his thirties is obviously old, so what?
"Jorge, you have to understand that veterans have the usage of veterans. Figo is indeed old and can't rush on the wing, but once a player of his type is used, it will definitely surprise everyone."
Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled again, "Also, Figo's condition is also in good condition."
Mendes was speechless now.
He admires Gao Han's vision more than anyone else. In the past few years, no player he appointed for him has missed.
Mendes worshipped at a 100% yield rate.
"By the way, how are the midfield and central defenders I asked you to find?" Gao Han asked.
Mendes laughed bitterly, "The central defender has some clues, but it's hard to find the midfield."
"You seem to be inefficient in your work lately." Gao Han smiled.
"Brother, it's not that I'm inefficient, it's that you have too high requirements, you have to be able to run, you have good physical fitness, you have to work hard, you have to be careful in your feet, and you have both offense and defense... Oh my God, who in the world has made such harsh demands?" Mendez was very wronged.
