Lafenka community, Madrid.
Ding Dong!
A doorbell woke the silent FIGO and his wife in the living room.
His wife Helen Xiang sighed, patted her husband''s hand placidly, got up and went to open the door.
Outside stood Luis Vicente, a famous lawyer and friend of FIGO, who is also the head of FIGO foundation.
He has been working with FIGO for many years. Before, FIGO was always in charge of the foundation business. Later, after FIGO stopped working with his agent Jose Vega, he left all his brokerage business to Louis Vicente.
Apart from Figo, Ronaldo broke with his two agents last year and hired Louis Vicente as his legal agent. As for the specific business affairs, he left them to others.
Although there are only two players on hand, they are all the best stars in the world. Luis Vicente can speak well in Real Madrid and meet the above figures with Florentino.
Today, he just met Florentino.
"Hello, Helen."
"Hello, Louis."
There was a greeting at the door. Louis Vicente changed his shoes and went into the living room.
FIGO didn''t speak from the beginning to the end. He just looked up at his friend. His eyes seemed to ask, what''s going on? What do they say?
Louis Vicente sat down opposite Figo, while Helen came over with a glass of water, put it in front of him, and sat down next to FIGO. This beautiful Swedish woman knows better than anyone, and her husband needs support more than anyone.
"In recent days, the media has been watching closely, and the reaction of the fans is not small, so they are very cautious. The originally planned meeting in the Bernabeu also changed the place temporarily, and went to the headquarters of ACS group."
Florentino is not only the president of Real Madrid, but also the president of ACS group, the largest construction group in Europe. He is one of the top construction tycoons in Europe.
In the case of such a tight wind outside, it''s more difficult to meet at ACS group headquarters.
"What did he say?" FIGO asked coldly.
For Florentino, he has not been very good impression, but not too bad.
From the first meeting, he knew that Florentino was a very realistic and smart businessman.
"He told me very clearly that they are studying whether to put you on the list of American businesses."
FIGO nodded a little dully, as if not surprised.
Real Madrid''s training this summer is to go to the United States for more than half a month, and then to China. It can be regarded as an intensive flight training, and it costs a lot of money, and the team members can be saved.
From Florentino''s words, FIGO can feel the meaning of the management, that is, they have made it clear that they will send FIGO away from the Bernabeu this summer.
"And then?" FIGO still asked coldly.
Louis Vicente suddenly felt something in his heart when he saw FIGO.
It has always been said that professional players eat youth food, but only like him, who witnessed FIGO coming to the Bernabeu from the former world''s top star with incomparable aura. In just a few years, he was almost driven away from the team like now.
The taste and the gap are really sad.
But this is professional football!
"Liverpool have made it clear that they are no longer interested in you, and Chelsea also do not intend to participate. Now, there is no team in the whole European football world to show their intention. Therefore, Florentino also said that Real Madrid are willing to give in."
This should have been good news, but FIGO is still cold.
"They are willing to give up the original insistence and let us find the team by ourselves. At the same time, they are willing to pay a compensation."
The so-called compensation is actually a disguised remedy.
FIGO''s annual salary in Real Madrid is as high as 6 million euro, which is a very high price. If you look at the whole European football world, I''m afraid only a very few one or two giants can afford it.
But the question is, FIGO is already 33 years old, which team is willing to pay such a high salary for him?
Therefore, generally speaking, when European teams wash this type of players in advance, they will give a compensation, which is called compensation. The amount is about the difference between the team''s salary and the new team''s annual salary during the contract period.
It can be said that in the past half a month or so, Real Madrid has been retiring again and again. Now they even pay for FIGO to leave ahead of time, which shows how determined they are to send him away.
As everyone knows, FIGO and Rosenberg are already incompatible, while the latter is the most trusted coach of Florentino, carrying all the hope for the revival of the Galactic warship. Therefore, FIGO will only leave.
But for FIGO, it''s easy to leave, but it''s hard to go anywhere.
He is not willing to retire. Where can he go?
Looking at the whole European football world, which team is willing to accept such a veteran with high age and annual salary?
Even if he was the best superstar on the planet.
The three people in the living room fell into silence.
This is a very realistic and difficult problem.
Just at this time, Louis Vicente''s mobile phone suddenly rang, startled all three of them.
Look at the caller ID, it''s Jorge Mendes?
"What is he calling for at this time?" Asked Louis Vicente, puzzled.
But who knows?
"Hello, Jorge." Louis Vicente got through.
This is now the most powerful agent in the whole Iberian Peninsula, even if he does not dare to offend easily.
"Hello, Louis." Mendes on the other side of the phone said with a smile, "I just came to do something for Mr. Gao Han. I saw your car parked in lafenka. Are you at FIGO''s house?"
Louis Vicente took a look at the FIGO couple and nodded, "Yeah, talk about something."
"Can I come in and have a chat?" Asked Mendes.
Louis Vicente was in a bit of trouble. He covered the microphone and looked at the FIGO couple. "It''s Mendes. He said he''s here to work for the cold. He wants to come in and have a talk."
The whole Portuguese football circle knows that FIGO''s former agent Jos é wiga and Mendes are rivals. They even fight at the airport, and Jos é wiga personally set up Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, making Gao cold leave in anger.
Although FIGO''s cooperation with Jose Vega has stopped, he has nothing to do with Mendes.
"He has a lot of contacts in European football, maybe he can really help." Louis Vicente advised.
FIGO thought about it, then nodded his head.
No way. The situation is better than the people.
"Of course. I''ll come out and pick you up right away." Louis Vicente laughs.
It wasn''t long before Louis Vicente brought in a middle-aged Portuguese Man in suits from outside the gate. They talked and laughed all the way. When they came in, the FIGO and his wife also warmly welcomed each other. Instead of being rivals, they looked like old friends they hadn''t seen for many years.
Seeing Jorge Mendes, FIGO not only laments his past.
Once upon a time, this was a running agent who he didn''t even look at. But now, he is a famous gold broker in European football and even in the world.
The world is changing fast enough!
The high cold mansion is really nearby, close to the stars of Atletico Madrid such as Xavi Alonso, Torres and villa, and the stars of Real Madrid such as Raul, Zidane and Ronaldo.
But FIGO and others will never believe that Mendes happened to pass by.
The Portuguese gold medal agent did not intend to hide, after each other''s polite greetings, as soon as he sat down, he looked directly at FIGO.
"Luis, are you interested in playing for inter?"
Such an open and straightforward question stunned the three FIGO sitting opposite.
…………
…………
Half an hour later, Mendes left FIGO''s mansion with the welcome of Vicente and FIGO.
Just back in his car, Mendes took out his cell phone and made a call to Gao Han.
"I''ve talked to him, and he said that he should be interested in thinking about it." Mendeshui reports.
Gao Han on the other side of the phone said with a smile, "I''ll ask Josep to call him again, and then I''ll talk to him myself."
It can be seen that Gao Han is very interested in FIGO.
Josep Guardiola and FIGO are close friends. Their relationship is as good as that of their brothers. It is ideal for Guardiola to persuade FIGO.
"I don''t understand. Why do you value FIGO so much?" Mendes wondered.
A veteran in his thirties is already very old. As for him?
"Jorge, you have to understand that veteran has the usage of veteran. FIGO is really old and can''t rush up on the side, but once his type of player is used, it will definitely surprise everyone."
Speaking of this, Gao Han laughed again, "and FIGO''s state is also good."
Mendes is speechless.
He admires Gao''s vision more than anyone else. In the past few years, none of the players appointed by Gao has failed.
One hundred percent, Mendes worshipped.
"By the way, what happened to the midfield and centre back I asked you to look for?" Gao Han asked.
Mendes bitterly ha ha a face, "the centre back actually has some features, but the midfield is not easy to find."
"You seem to be inefficient these days." Gao Han said with a smile.
"Brother, it''s not that I''m inefficient, it''s that you''re too demanding. You have to be able to run, you have good physical fitness, you have to work hard at your feet, and you have both attack and defense... My God, how can anyone in the world put forward such harsh requirements?" Mendes felt wronged.
"It depends on who''s right. You''re not a normal person." Gao Han laughingly encouraged.
"Well, don''t worry about the midfield. Take your time. You can collect a list of centre backs and show it to me
Mendes had to agree.
"Do you remember Pascal, the Czech agent?"
"Well, remember, what''s the matter?" How can the cold be forgotten?
At the beginning, Dario sRNA, jankulovsky and Peter Cech all transferred to Atletico Madrid through Pascal''s hands. Although these players were later included in Mendes, Pascal became a part of Mendes'' scouting network, and was responsible for Eastern Europe.
"He recommended a few players to me, including midfield and centre back. He said that they were very suitable for you. I''m going to go and see for myself. You know, this guy is very reliable."
The cold on the other side of the phone gave a sound, "call me if you have any news."
Mendes hung up the phone and shook his head with a bitter smile. He was born to work hard.
However, he admired the cold from the bottom of his heart.
In the past few years, his career could not have developed so fast without the cold.
Therefore, as long as it is the request of the cold, no matter how hard or tired, he will not complain.
