"Mr. Cherny, we meet again."

Manchester United moved quickly, and Rist received a call from Manchester United just two days later.They wanted to be able to talk to Rist about specific issues.The opponent negotiating with Rist is Peter Kenyon, who is gradually replacing Manchester United CEO Edwards.

"Mr. Kenyon, hello."

The last meeting was not very pleasant for Rist.Because Kenyon's attitude at the time was a little arrogant, and he looked down on an agent like Rist.Moreover, Kenyon was in charge of Manchester United's commercial promotion before, and had no contact with player agents.So he seems to underestimate the football agent industry.But today Kenyon is smiling, his attitude has completely changed.

But there is a reason for this.Because the original CEO of Manchester United, Edwards, an old pervert, has too many scandals, and the Manchester United board of directors can't bear it anymore.Edwards has a lot of scandals, including the scandal of using public funds to hire prostitutes while on business.But if Edwards' funniest scandal is that every time he goes to the stadium to watch a game, one of his favorite things to do is to peep in the toilet.As Edwards, he wanted women, all kinds of women.

But this buddy has such a hobby, he likes to peep in the toilet, and has been caught many times.Therefore, once Edwards decides to watch the game live, the most nervous thing for those inside Manchester United is how to watch Edwards.So much so that someone once said to the Manchester United executives: "It's so brave of you to let Edwards go out alone."

Manchester United's board of directors can't bear it now.Therefore, the board of directors asked Edwards to resign as chief executive of Manchester United, and Peter Kenyon began to take over his work in an all-round way.Therefore, he will also participate in the negotiation of player transfer.Van Nistelrooy was the first player transfer negotiation he participated in.For the transfer of players, Kenyon is not proficient, it should even be said to be very strange.

He had met Ferguson before coming here.Ferguson's meaning is very simple, that is, he must want Van Nistelrooy.In terms of Ferguson's status at Manchester United, this kind of transfer can be decided by himself.But Ferguson is only one person after all, and he is not Nezha with three heads and six arms.Now that the Premier League is in full swing, Ferguson can't find time to interview Rist.

And although the Premier League head coach has great rights.But it doesn't mean that the head coach will participate in all the negotiations. If so, so many departments of the club will be left behind?The Premier League manager is completely exhausted.

If there is any difference between the Premier League and La Liga and Serie A, it is that the service targets of the transfer department are different.In La Liga, Serie A, including the Bundesliga, the transfer departments of general clubs belong to the sports director, and the sports director can decide the players that need to be introduced.But the object of service in the transfer department of a Premier League club is the head coach.The head coach has his eye on someone.The task will be handed over to the transfer department.Then the transfer department will introduce players according to the requirements of the head coach.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer is a huge transfer.So Peter Kenyon personally negotiated with Rist.

"Mr. Czerny, you should know. I only came to you this time for one thing, and that is the transfer of Van Nistelrooy from Eindhoven."

Peter Kenyon was a miracle worker.He has created countless brilliance in business, and soon he will also create a series of successes in Manchester United.But he is still a rookie when it comes to player transfers.Although the opponent is Manchester United.And the man in front of him is the future CEO of Manchester United.But Rist didn't care one bit.He said very easily: "Mr. Kenyon, what I mean is very simple. I have a very good cooperative relationship with Manchester United. If possible, I am willing to continue to cooperate with Manchester United. But I and my players are people who need to eat, You can't live by drinking air."

Although Kenyon is a rookie in player transfers.But he has participated in countless business negotiations.As soon as Rist spoke, Kenyon understood what Rist meant.To put it bluntly, it's just asking for money.

"Mr. Czerny, the 500 million pounds you proposed is outrageous. You must know that the transfer fee record in English football is only 500 million pounds. Alan Shearer was the top scorer in the European Cup at that time. , two-time Premier League top scorer, with more than 500 goals in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons. It's not comparable to Shearer back then. Twenty-five million pounds, some lions have opened their mouths."

Listening to Kenyon's words, Rist shook his head with a smile.He even raised his index finger and shook it slightly.Then he said: "Mr. Kenyon, you are changing the concept secretly. It was already three and a half years ago when Alan Shearer transferred. In the same year as Alan Shearer transferred, Ronaldo transferred to Barcelona in 2000. 800 US dollars, and a year later when he came to Inter Milan, it was 5000 million US dollars. And this summer Vieri transferred from Lazio to Inter Milan for 97 million US dollars. Could it be said that Vieri this summer is better than Ronaldo in [-] Double? No, no, it's all because of the price increase."

"If there is a striker in the Premier League who can score more than 3000 goals in three consecutive seasons, I don't think he is worth less than 500 million pounds. If Shearer was put into the present, [-] million pounds including his right I can't even buy legs."

Kenyon looked serious.Of course he knew what Rist said, and he was indeed changing concepts secretly and confusing them.Because the high price of 500 million pounds is absolutely unacceptable to Kenyon and Manchester United.

So Kenyon changed his tone and put it another way: "Mr. Czerny, Manchester United cannot afford the price of 500 million pounds anyway. We don't have players like Moratti and Craniotti. Big donors cannot spend $5000 million or $4000 million for players at will. For £700 million, we are willing to pay £700 million."

"No no no."

Rist said "no" a few times, then sat up straight, looked at Kenyon and said, "The price I offered to Real Madrid is no less than Anelka's transfer fee, and so is Jose Sanchez." Agree. But the reason why I negotiated with Manchester United is because we had a good cooperation before. And more importantly, Real Madrid will be elected next year. I don’t want some surprises. But it doesn’t mean I can accept such a big deal Loss. Anelka's transfer fee is 300 million pounds. I can make concessions here. After that, I am ready to negotiate with Real Madrid. For my players, Manchester United and Real Madrid are actually the same. And for me A move to Real Madrid would pay far more than a move to Manchester United."

It's a war of words between the two sides.It's all about price.In a short period of time, Kenyon has already understood that Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer fee will not only be the transfer record of Manchester United, but also the transfer record of English football.But Kenyon hopes to keep the transfer fee as low as possible, after all, it is not a small amount of money.

Two people are constantly haggling at the negotiating table.There started to be a gap of nearly £600 million between the two sides, but after a period of haggling it eventually stopped at around £100 million.

Although Rist called out a high price of 500 million pounds before the negotiation, Kenyon was prepared to bargain to less than 2000 million pounds.It was negotiated at around 800 million pounds and 900 million pounds.However, because Real Madrid intervened before this negotiation, it has unintentionally helped Rist a lot.

Rist thanked Jose Sanchez in his heart.Every time Rist needed to raise the price, Real Madrid would show up, Jose Sanchez would show up.It wasn't that Rist was looking for him, it was because he appeared in front of Rister every time he needed it most.

"Mr. Kenyon, £400 million. I lost £400 million, that's more than six million euros. If I cooperate with Real Madrid, then more than six million euros must be my money. Six million euros, I think It hurts to think about it."

After chopping off so much money, Rist had a heartbroken expression on his face, and then shook his head regretfully.But Rist was overjoyed in his heart.Because 100 million pounds is converted into euros, it is almost 3000 two million euros.In the contract between Rist and Arnesen, Rist needs to give Eindhoven 2000 million euros.Except for this money, the rest will go into Rist's pocket.That's more than ten million euros.

Rist has been an agent for so long, and apart from making a fortune from Jan Koller, this is the highest income this time.In addition to the income from the transfer fee, it also includes commissions, signing bonuses, and player salaries.

Player transfer fees are the bulk, and the remaining commissions and signing bonuses are small sums.Of course, it is a small amount compared to the transfer fee, but it is definitely not a lot.The commission and the signing bonus total more than 350 million pounds. If the transfer can finally take place, Manchester United will have to pay nearly 500 million pounds.And Riester's income this time will exceed 500 million euros.

money, money.Rist could even see countless banknotes being thrown at him.After signing his name, Rist felt a little smug.In world football, apart from the two South American brokers Figel and Mascardi, who else can manage such a profitable transfer.In European football, no agent can match Rist.

"Mr. Kenyon, it's a pleasant cooperation. I hope we can continue to keep in touch and strengthen the relationship in the future. I believe we still have many opportunities for cooperation."

The contract this time is just a simple, initialed contract, not a formal contract yet.But such an initialed contract also has legal effect.As long as Van Nistelrooy's physical examination passes, the transfer will come into effect.

"Mr. Czerny, I don't dare to ask for your players anymore. Look at so many clauses. If you add a few more of your players, our Manchester United will go bankrupt."

Kenyon wasn't in a bad mood either.Because he is now involved in player transfers, it is also his performance of gradually replacing Edwards.He has always believed that he could not fully display his talents at Manchester United, and now he thinks he finally has a chance. (To be continued..)
