Chapter 343
As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Li Shiguang laughed happily: "You are very powerful, Mr. Mendes. No wonder most of the transfer transactions in Europe are under your control! When Mino and I expressed the same idea, he took much longer to consider than you."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Mendes smiled reservedly, "Before your Leeds United rose, I did operate many heavyweight transfers. But in the past year or so, the top bidder in each transfer period has an inseparable relationship with your Leeds United."
Li Shiguang knew that Mendes was referring to the two Brazilian players Kaka and Maicon.
Indeed, the top bidder in this winter window, Maicon, was sold to Real Madrid by Li Shiguang, while the top bidder in the summer window, Kaka, was bought by Li Shiguang from AC Milan.
Mendes said this, and Li Shiguang did not refuse. Instead, he leaned his head forward and said softly: "Mr. Mendes, if you want, I can also let the new top bidder be related to you in the next two transfer periods."
New top bidder?
Have something to do with me? Do you mean you want to buy my players?
Li Shiguang's words startled Mendes. His eyebrows that had just relaxed wrinkled again. His mind spun rapidly, and faces appeared in his mind like slides.
Until the boy with white earrings, who he had snatched from another Portuguese agent, Jose Vega, during a dinner, was frozen in front of Mendes.
Mendes' eyes suddenly widened, and Cristiano Ronaldo's face disappeared from his eyes. Then he stared at Li Shiguang, who was smiling happily in front of him, and exclaimed: "No way! You want to buy Cristiano!?"
Li Shiguang looked at Mendes' face that was distorted by astonishment, and praised him again: "You are very smart, Mr. Mendes."
This is impossible! !
This was the first thought that came to Mendes' mind after getting Li Shiguang's confirmation. He roared in his heart!
The reason why he felt it was impossible was not because he doubted that Li Shiguang could not afford Ronaldo.
And with Mendes' understanding of Ronaldo, even if he doesn't want to stay in Manchester United, he won't choose Leeds United! Real Madrid is his first choice!
Mendes is very familiar with Sanchez, the manager of Real Madrid. As early as two years ago, Sanchez clearly told Mendes that no matter what, they will definitely take Ronaldo to Real Madrid one day in the future.
Including at the beginning of this year, when Mendes met Sanchez at an event, Sanchez took the initiative to ask Ronaldo if he had the idea of leaving Manchester United now. After confirming that Ronaldo had this idea, Sanchez tried to quote Manchester United at that time! But it was immediately rejected by Ferguson.
So now when he heard that Li Shiguang wanted to buy Ronaldo, Mendes felt that he was really daydreaming.
But Mendes knew that he couldn't say this to Li Shiguang directly. After all, the words had been said to this point, and Mendes understood it.
If he wanted to get the same treatment as Raiola.
Then the conditions.
Just help the man in front of him to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
Damn!
So tangled!
After figuring it out, Mendes looked constipated, and his mind was struggling. He knew that he couldn't convince Ronaldo to join Leeds United, but at the same time he wanted to have a good relationship with Li Shiguang. After all, the young talents of Leeds United were walking euros for Mendes!
No, I have to persuade him. In addition to Cristiano, I can help him lobby for other players under his company!
Thinking of this, after a little consideration of the words, after making sure that he would not offend Li Shiguang, Mendes slowly spoke to Li Shiguang: "Mr. Li, I don't know if you know about Cristiano's experience. Uh... How to say it, in the current situation, even if he agrees to leave Manchester United, he will most likely not agree to join Leeds United, because he seems to have a team he wants to join in his heart."
Li Shiguang looked at Mendes seriously, and a smile with a bit of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Isn't it just a dream of becoming a king? What's there to be embarrassed about?
But at this time, he didn't want to expose Mendes immediately, but Li Shiguang pretended to be curious and asked: "Which team does he want to join?"
"Uh..." Facing Li Shiguang's question, Mendes showed an embarrassed expression on his face for the first time since he entered the cafe. "It's not convenient for me to say this directly. Anyway, before joining Manchester United, Cristiano expressed his desire to join that club to me!"
Li Shiguang smiled and waved his hand, not caring about Mendes' words: "Childhood dream?Hahaha, come on! I think Cristiano has become a mature professional player now. I believe you also know that Leeds United is now a very well-run club. If he comes to Leeds United, believe me, I can give him a considerable improvement in personal treatment! Of course, Mr. Mendes, you can also get a considerable commission. "
"It's not a matter of money." Mendes smiled embarrassedly, but still didn't say that the club Ronaldo wanted to go to was Real Madrid. "I know Cristiano. He is a very talented and extremely competitive player! For him, money is not everything when choosing a club. He has requirements for the team's head coach and team lineup!"
"Oh?" As soon as Mendes finished speaking, Li Shiguang narrowed his eyes, and his normal voice suddenly became cold, "You mean, I am not qualified to coach him yet! ? "
"Ah! ? "Hearing this, Mendes was stunned, knowing that he had just made a mistake due to negligence, and quickly apologized to Li Shiguang, "No! No! Mr. Li, I definitely don't mean that! You only took two or three years to bring a team on the verge of bankruptcy and dissolution back to the Premier League, win the Premier League championship, and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. If you are not qualified to coach Cristiano, then no head coach in the world has this qualification! "
However, Li Shiguang did not change his attitude because of Mendes' quick apology.
He spoke in a cold voice: "So what you mean is that my Leeds United lineup is not good! ? Mr. Mendes, you are a famous agent in continental Europe. Then let me ask first, from the perspective of your agent, can these players in the current Leeds United lineup rank in the top three in the entire Premier League in terms of value! ? "
Looking helplessly at Li Shiguang with an angry face.
At this moment.
Mendes really wanted to slap himself twice!
