Chapter 004 There is no difference between a player's transfer and buying and selling cabbage
On June 19, 2007, AC Milan's official website suddenly issued an announcement, announcing that it had transferred to San Siro's Brazilian striker Oliveira for 17 million euros a season ago and transferred to La Liga team Zaragoza for 11 million euros.
There is no sign of this transfer. Although everyone knows that the man who has been scolded by the Italian media for a season will leave San Siro, they didn't expect AC Milan to move so quickly.
This is a signal.
The Italian media immediately identified this as a signal that AC Milan has made substantial progress.
"Oliveira is gone, Zhang Yang will come to San Siro, and the Rossoneri finally realize who is their true destiny after a season." - Roma Sport
"Seven million bought and sold 11 million. With this entry and exit, AC Milan lost six million, but did they only lose six million? Before a season, the Rossoneri only cost 18 million euros to get publicity. What about now? It's more than twice the price." - "Torino Sports"
For a while, people's eyes turned to Milan, and all signs show that the best young people in European football are likely to come to San Siro.
After learning from the super agent Mendes that Zhang Yang was finally moved, Galliani was ecstatic. He arrived in Marseille by private plane from Milan overnight. Just an hour later, the photos of Galliani appearing in Marseille with a tired face and a smile appeared in the newspapers. This also confirms people's speculation.
Galliani brought AC Milan's latest offer of 38 million euros, which is about 29 million pounds.
Galliani's offer is also very fastidious. The price is higher than Liverpool's 22.5 million pounds of Torres, which is six million less than Chelsea's 35 million pounds.
This price is moderate. After all, everything has to be discussed at the negotiating table.
Originally, Galliani also wanted to put pressure on Marseille and put down the transfer fee through Mendes. However, after listening to Mendes relaying Zhang Yang's meaning, Galliani immediately died. The vice chairman of the Rossoneri also knew that this time, Milan's reputation was really not very good, because he was flamboyant and There is no shortage of pursuers. Manchester United are staring at each other. Galliani also understands that Ronaldo has made great contributions to Milan, and they should cherish this tendency. Now is not the time to care about money.
There was a 'difficult' negotiation between Marseille club manager Anigo and Galliani. He couldn't wait to strangle the bald head sitting opposite him. This bald head is too difficult to deal with. It's still the vice chairman of AC Milan.
However, Anigo is also a little aware of the current situation of AC Milan. This traditional Italian giant is indeed not rich enough. If it hadn't won the UEFA Champions League this season, he would have earned about 20 million yuan from the Champions League dividends, plus the one who just sold Oliveira. Millions of euros, otherwise, there is really no money to participate in the competition for Zhang Yang.
Of course, Anigo will not sympathize with his negotiator. All he has to do is to get the best interests of Marseille.
"Forty-eight million, this is the bottom line of Marseille." Anigo called for a price. Of course, what he said is the euro, which is 468 million euros, which is 37 million pounds, which is about the valuation of the media for publicity. However, the media's valuation is generally high. For example, the media's valuation for Torres is 35 million pounds, while Atletico Golden Boy's final transfer to Liverpool is 26.5 million pounds, which is 5.5 million pounds less.
So, Anigo, this is obviously a lion's big mouth. Of course, this is a big opening for AC Milan. If the negotiating partner is Chelsea, it is not a big opening. The Chelsea people have already bid 35 million pounds. However, Zhang Yang has also told the Marseille Club that he doesn't want to go to Chelsea and prefers AC Milan. Therefore, Marseille can only look at the Chelsea people' checks. Fortunately, Zhang Yang and Marseille have a good relationship. It is a good gathering and good dispersion. Zhang Yang did not help AC Milan to suppress the price, but on the wall.
"Ty-nine million euros, no more." Galliani raised the price slightly.
"Forty-eight million." Anigo did not give in.
In fact, the negotiation of the player's transfer is no different from the bargaining of buying a cabbage on the street, but this 'goods' is too expensive.
The meeting lasted for about two hours. The gap between the two sides was too big to reach an agreement at all. Just when Galliani planned to temporarily suspend the negotiations and take a break and fight for another 300 rounds. Marseille proposed a new transfer plan.
Galliani took a look and was a little stunned. This is a modified version of a plan previously provided by AC Milan to Marseille.
The plan proposed by Marseille is 35 million euros of Gagiladino.
Galliani did not speak immediately, but began to calculate the account. Gilardino is now worth about 16 million yuan. In fact, Gilardino's value was lower before, but now Girardino has followed AC Milan to win the Champions League, and his value has risen to a certain extent.
In this way, Marseille's plan is equivalent to raising Zhang Yang's value to 51 million euros.
This definitely doesn't work. Do you really think AC Milan is Kaizi? We are not Russian Kaizi. Now AC Milan has to spend a penny as a penny and a half.
However, the focus of the problem is not here. The key is that Gilardino is unwilling to leave Milan. Even if he leaves Milan, he will not choose to come to Ligue 1.
Therefore, Marseille's transfer plan is already forked in Galliani's opinion.
The two sides announced that they were not able to reach an agreement, so they suspended the meeting and continued after a night's rest.
Mendes immediately learned about the talks between Galliani and Anigo, and then he informed Zhang Yang. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang was very calm about the deadlock in the negotiations.
"You are not worried about the collapse of the negotiations at all?" Mendes asked.
"What's there to worry about?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorical.
Mendes was stunned and then smiled. The boy obviously felt that he had the strength now and was qualified to bargain with the rich family. Then he sighed a little. It was only a year. Last year, when Zhang Yang was first favored and then rejected by AC Milan, Mendes saw that Zhang Yang's mood was greatly affected. Now, after this season's crazy performance, this boy is also qualified to show off.
However, it's not strange. Everywhere, it depends on strength, especially in football.
The next day, when Anigo and Galliani negotiated, there was one more person, the 'super agent' Jorge. Mr. Mendes also joined. Zhang Yang is his player. At the last moment of the transfer negotiations, it is reasonable for Mendes to join. In addition, with such an amazing super agent, it is easier for the two sides to find a balance.
Galliani communicated with Giladino's agent last night, but Gilardino still refused to go to Marseille to play. In addition, the former Parma striker expressed some dissatisfaction with the team's intention to use him as an addition to Zhang Yang's transfer.
Galliani had no time to pay attention to Gilardino's dissatisfaction for the time being, but he had an unexpected gain. Braida called Galliani and said that Borriello agreed to go to Marseille to play football.
For Borello's willingness to go to Marseille to play football, Galliani still expressed a certain understanding after careful consideration. Borello was born in the Milan youth training camp, but he has been loaned by Milan. Even if he returns to Milan, he does not have his position. It is estimated that Borello is tired of such a wandering career. Yu decided to leave Milan and find a team to settle down. As the new champion of Ligue 1, Girardino may not like it, but for Borello, it is indeed a relatively good place to go.
It's just, now, the problem is that Marseille looks up to Gilardino, not Borello.
Galliani said to Anigo that Gilardino doesn't want to come to Marseille, but Borello is willing, how about it? Think about it.
Anigo was stunned, Borriello? Who is this? Ah, ah, it seems to be a little impressive, but as a team manager, he really can't make the decision on this matter. He wants to add Girardino to the transfer. This is the request of Marseille's head coach Fernandez. After Zhang Yang left the team, Marseille needs a new offensive point. As an Italian international, Girardino's strength is naturally good. It meets Fernandez's requirements. Of course, it can't be compared with Zhang Yang. Moreover, Fernandez knew that it was unrealistic to get an Italian international to Marseille simply in the transfer market, so he raised the transfer matter. Unexpectedly, he was rejected.
"Hey, let, Milanese proposed to add Borello to the transfer. What do you think?" Anigo found an empty place to give way. Fernandez called.
"Bolero?" Fernandez's mind was thinking quickly about the person's technical characteristics, abilities, physical conditions, etc. As a head coach, he is naturally easy to get these data, and Fernandez has really paid attention to Borello, although he only watched Borello's video when he was paying attention to Gilardino.
"How's it going?" Anigo urged.
"Yes." Fernandez pondered for a moment. It's a pleasure for Gilardino to come. If he can't, Borjero is also good. This big man's ability is still good. In Ligue 1, he can still be regarded as a top scorer. Of course, it can't be compared with Zhang Yang. The head coach of Marseille sighed again. Entangled again.
Hearing Fernandez say yes, Anigo nodded and immediately continued to ask. What is the price of Borello?
"No more than eight million euros." Fernandez said categorically, which means that if the Milanese value Borriello for more than eight million, they will treat us as a triumphant.
After learning the situation from Fernandez, Anigo knew it and went back to the conference room to continue the tripartite talks.
"Boreloga 42,000 million!" Anigo called for a price.
"Borelloga 30 million!" Galliani shouted.
"Boreloga 41 million!" Anigo boldly dropped one million euros.
"Borelloga 33 million!" Galliani frowned.
"Forty million in Bolero!" Anigo slapped the table.
"Borelloga 3 million!" Galliani also slapped the table.
Compared with Zhang Yang, Bolero at this time is the real cabbage that is being sold.
When Mendes saw these two shouting on the table and smashing the bench, he had been surprised for a long time. He looked at it with a smile. Outsiders looked at the player's transfer very mysteriously. In fact, it's not like this. It's like buying something. If you shout the price, I cut the price. It's just that this kind of business is sky-high. In the end, if you reach a balance point, then open the champagne, as if you have never blushed.
Finally, Marseille manager Anigo shouted in a hoarse voice, "Three-six million Gaborello!"
Galliani did not shout immediately this time, but thought calmly for half a minute, and then walked out of the conference room while making a phone call. A minute later, the vice chairman of AC Milan rushed in with green eyes, "35 million Gabrello! If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Milan."
Anigo also immediately picked up the phone, dialed a number, chatty in French for half a minute at the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone, got up, and stretched out his right hand, "It's a deal!"
When Mendes saw the two shaking hands, he got up and applauded, then took out a bottle of red wine and filled three goblet glasses.
"Happy cooperation, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Galliani and Anigo looked at each other and smiled, and they couldn't see that they were red and thick-necked just now.
"Mr. Galliani, do you think you want to go back for a night's rest first? Let's talk about Zhang's personal treatment tomorrow." Mendes said with a smile.
Galliani originally wanted to say no, we could start immediately, but when he saw Mr. Super Agent's smiling face, he immediately changed his words, "Well, I'm also a little tired. Let's talk about the specific contract details tomorrow."
Compared with Anigo, this is called Jorge. Mendes's guy is the most difficult to deal with. Galliani rubbed his temples and reminded himself to be careful.
It's not easy to be a big housekeeper.
However, in any case, the biggest obstacle to Zhang Yang's transfer has been eliminated. AC Milan and Marseille have basically reached an agreement on the value of Zhang Yang's transfer. If Bolello, who adds to the transfer, is valued at 8 million euros, then Zhang Yang's final transfer value will be 43 million euros. Left and right.
If this transfer is finally reached, it will be almost the largest transfer investment in recent years since AC Milan spent 35 million on Rui Costa.
Thinking of this, Galliani's meatache, last year it only cost 18 million to do things, but now it cost 34 million!
I paid an extra 25 million!
