Chapter 238
Li Shiguang did not get the expected answer from Raiola.
After he finished speaking, Raiola's brows were already furrowed into a "川" shape: "Mr. Li, the possibility is very small."
"Why?" Li Shiguang was very puzzled, "Isn't he almost useless?"
"There are several reasons." Raiola explained calmly.
"Adriano's value is very high. In 2004, Inter Milan spent a lot of money to buy back all his ownership from Parma. So before Adriano completely declared his career invalid, Moratti should not agree to sell him at too low a price. This is the first point."
"The second point is the player's personal choice. In the past two years, whether it is teammates, coaches, team management or fans, they have helped him a lot. This also made Adriano have a deep affection for Inter Milan. So if the club does not clearly say that it will give up on him, he should not be willing to leave Meazza."
After Raiola finished speaking, Li Shiguang rolled his eyes.
Is there a magnet installed on the land in Milan or something?
Why are Kaka and Adriano both unwilling to leave the club?
Isn't it said that Brazilian players only care about money and not people? Are they starting to take the path of pity now?
But giving up without even trying is not Li Shiguang's style. Moreover, if Li Shiguang knew about Adriano's sure-win deal but didn't make a move, it would be more painful than killing him.
So he lowered his head and thought for a while, and still told Raiola about his ideas.
"Mino, you have to help me with this! As for Moratti, I will ask Allen to make an offer through formal channels first, and then you can help me with Adriano's ideological work. You don't need to say too much, just let it be known that Leeds United wants to buy him. After I deal with Moratti, I will go to Milan to talk to him in person after this busy period!"
"Alas, Mr. Li, you really gave me a difficult problem!"
"Why is it a difficult problem?"
"Then let me ask whether I will go to Brazil this time?"
····
Raiola finally chose to go to Brazil. After all, he still had to act well. But before leaving, at the instruction of Li Shiguang, Raiola went to find Allen to accompany him to the youth training base and got Harry Kane's agent contract in his hands.
Li Shiguang's actions were also very fast. As soon as Raiola left, Allen sent an offer email to Inter Milan for Adriano.
33 million euros is a rather ambiguous price.
It is rumored that Moratti spent almost 27 million euros to buy back the remaining half of Adriano's ownership, but in fact it only cost less than 23 million euros. In 2004, Adriano's value was only about 46 million euros.
But as his condition gets worse and worse, it is reasonable that his value has dropped, so Leeds United's offer is still relatively sincere.
But what Raiola said is indeed correct.
After receiving the email, Inter Milan immediately rejected Leeds United's offer, and there was no jargon in the reply email such as this price does not match the player's value.
The other person's reply was only one sentence, sorry, Adriano is not for sale at Inter Milan.
When Li Shiguang saw the email sent by Allen in the office, he was really a little speechless.
Why is it so high-sounding?
Still not for sale?
There is nothing that is not for sale in the football world. The only reason for not selling is that the money is not enough.
So after the afternoon training, Li Shiguang returned to the office and called Moratti.
····
"Hello, who is this?" After a while, the voice of the Italian oil tycoon came from the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Moratti, I am the owner of Leeds United, Li Shiguang."
"Mr. Li?" Moratti took the phone in front of him with a surprised look, and after confirming the strange number in front of him again, he put it back to his ear, "Haha, I didn't expect you to call me so soon."
"Procrastination is not my style, Mr. Moratti." Li Shiguang cleared his throat and took the initiative to talk about the main purpose of this call, "I saw the email sent by your club this morning, but when I asked for your private phone number, you didn't refuse. Can I understand that we still have something to talk about this business?"
"Mr. Li, you may have misunderstood me. I can't sell Adriano. The reason why I didn't refuse your request is,Is it because I think we may have room for cooperation in other areas? "Morati smiled and took the lead in closing the window for Li Shiguang to buy Adriano.
Seeing Morati being so stubborn, Li Shiguang was too lazy to beat around the bush with him and said directly: "Mr. Morati, but buying Adriano is the only reason why I called you today. You mentioned cooperation in other areas. Excuse me, I don't think it's necessary for the time being."
Morati had heard others say that Li Shiguang was very strong in negotiations before.
Feeling it personally today, Morati, who is also wealthy, still felt a little uncomfortable.
So he replied coldly: "If that's the case, Mr. Li, I think there's nothing to talk about between us. I have something else to do, so I'll go first..."
"Mr. Morati, what is your psychological price for Adriano? "
Li Shiguang interrupted Moratti before he finished speaking.
The meaning was quite straightforward. If you want money, just say it. What kind of man is hesitant to be so?
"No! You don't understand the relationship between us. Adriano is very important to Inter Milan! It can't be measured by money!"
Hearing this, Li Shiguang really wanted to open the head of this old man who was already over 60 years old to see what was inside.
I know you are a sentimental person, but it's not that kind of sentimental. Are there any players in the world that can't be measured by money?
Maybe! But that's only for the players themselves!
For the club, performance and benefits are the only criteria for measuring whether the club is successful!
So Li Shiguang sneered and said, "Come on, Mr. Moratti, you have acquired Inter Milan for more than ten years, right? After so long, do you still think there are things in the football world that can't be measured by money? If you think my offer is too low, we can discuss it. It's normal to talk about business and give and take! But if you still maintain this attitude after I finish speaking, then I will think that you may not be suitable for the football industry! "
???
Li Shiguang's retort made Moratti full of questions, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
After all, he is over 60 years old and has been in charge of Inter Milan for more than ten years. This is the first time he has heard a man in his thirties say that he is not suitable for the football industry....
