Legendary Broker

After a series of actions, Rist felt relieved.Rist himself felt amused when no one was around.Mendes is still doing well in Portugal, and he has never sinned against Rist.On the contrary, the only contact between Rist and Mendes was when Figel was around.At that time, there were not one or two brokers involved in Figo's transfer, but five or six brokers who passed through on the way, and everyone got their share of the benefits.Speaking of which, we have worked together before.

It is estimated that Mendes could not have imagined that he was really a disaster.Not much has been done yet, and the two big agents such as Rist and Carvajal have been restricted in all aspects.If Mendes knew these things, he would probably cry.

But Rist didn't think he was wrong at all, or that he made a fuss.Mendes can now be said to have full wings, and no one can stop his rise.Including Rist and Carvajal, everyone can at most limit his future strength.An agent with players like Carvalho, Ferreira, Deco, and Quaresma will rise no matter what.All Rist has done now is to weaken Mendes' potential and his future strength.Even if he rises, it will not affect his status.

Rist used more than three months to make a series of actions against Mendes.First, the relationship between the South American agent and Mendes was severed, or the relationship between them was alienated.But this is just a simple approach, because Rist knows that with the relationship between Portugal and South America, it is impossible to stop South American players from playing in Portugal.

Then there's the players ready to hit Mendes.At present, Mendes has two players who can enter the mainstream European leagues.One is Quaresma.

Quaresma is currently very famous, although he cannot be compared with players like Joaquin.But it is also famous.Many giants are paying attention to Quaresma, otherwise Manchester United would not investigate him.But Rist knows that Quaresma is already in Barcelona's consideration, and Russell is also investigating Quaresma.Roselle also specifically talked about this issue, Rist just cautiously persuaded Roselle, hoping he can be more cautious.

Rist prevented Manchester United from buying Cristiano Ronaldo, but Rist did nothing to prevent Quaresma from going to Barcelona.Because Rist knows that Quaresma's going to Barcelona is a great tragedy, and Quaresma is not suitable for Barcelona's style of play at all.In the end, he could only return to Portugal in despair.

The other one is Cristiano Ronaldo.Rist prevented him from going to Manchester United because Ferguson could give him enough time to grow.In order to cultivate Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson even purged Keane and Van Nistelrooy who had conflicts with him.After three or four years of training in this way, he created a superstar who later became a powerful player in European football.But once Cristiano Ronaldo arrives at Real Madrid.Real Madrid don't have that much time for him.Cristiano Ronaldo goes it alone.The Real Madrid superstar will not get used to his faults.Maybe Queiroz will value him, but Queiroz is still difficult to protect himself in Real Madrid, how can he protect a little Cristiano Ronaldo.One or two years later, he will be kicked out by Real Madrid.

Once Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo fail.So for Mendes, it cannot be said that there is a traumatic impact.But it will definitely make him miserable.After all, two talented players left Portugal.Going back in despair in the end will greatly damage Mendes' reputation.

"Michael, how are you doing?"

Things have been going well for Rist lately.The mood is getting better and better.I came to Dortmund with a relaxed mood and asked Meyer.Rist was relaxed, Meyer was not.

"After one mountain, there is still another mountain. It is full of troubles, and there is no end in sight."

Meyer seems to have aged a lot.Things are really not that simple for Dortmund.After having Rist's 500 million euros in the winter, it can be regarded as passing a hurdle and solving the problem of player salaries.But Dortmund's problems are definitely not something that can be solved with 2000 million euros, and even now Dortmund's problems are difficult to solve even with 6000 to [-] million euros.

Dortmund's current income is slowly decreasing, but its expenses are not small at all.And judging from the current results of Dortmund, once they fail to get the Champions League places next season, Dortmund's income will drop sharply by then.The reduction is not a little bit, but tens of millions of euros.At that time, the economic crisis of the Dortmund club will intensify.

These problems Meyer really has no way to solve.Recently, he has been busy with financing for Dortmund, but like the beginning of the season, no institution is willing to trust Dortmund.

Not only that, but now Dortmund has more debts every day.It can be said that according to the current situation, Dortmund has never paid off its debts.The debt can only accumulate more and more, and the annual interest alone is enough to keep Dortmund busy.Meyer is now thinking of the most extreme solution, which is to mortgage the players or cut the salaries of the players.

"Michael, you can actually raise a lot of money this summer."

"Sell players."

Meyer sighed.There is only one way to make money in the summer, and that is to sell people.If it is not an extreme situation, Meyer is really unwilling to sell players.Because many clubs in European football use this method to tide over difficulties in difficult times.It's a pity that the more the club sells players in the end, the worse the club's strength, and the worse the results.

Many strong teams are getting more and more declining in this vicious circle, and then never get up again.Such examples are not one or two.If it's not the last moment, Meyer really doesn't want to.

"Michael, you have to give up. You have to give up when you should give up. If Dortmund wants to get out of the current quagmire, it needs to quickly get rid of a lot of burdens. Sell valuable players, and then introduce a group of high-quality and cheap players. It's a way to get rid of some high-salary players quickly and then raise a lot of money quickly. Why not do that."

Rist wasn't too pleased with Meyer's indecision.Dortmund is now on the edge of a cliff, and if you take half a step forward, you will fall into the abyss.What is needed at this time is to be decisive, to get rid of the burden decisively, and then go into battle lightly.I don't understand such a simple thing.But this is also the saying that the authorities are obsessed and the bystanders are clear.Riester and Dortmund have no feelings, so it is straightforward to look at the problem, but Meyer has emotional factors, so any decision is too difficult.

"As for the results, it is even simpler. I promise to introduce you to some high-quality and cheap players. The team has gone down.”

"Rist..."

Meyer is very aggrieved now.Just three years ago, when Dortmund was at its best, they were equal to Rist.But now that Dortmund is down and out, and they have borrowed Rist's money, they have no confidence when facing Rister.

"Michael, we are partners. My money is still in your club, I don't want your club to pay back the money. That's 500 million euros, I'm not a billionaire, 500 million euros is also for me Big amount. So I will never cheat you. To cheat you is to cheat my money. If Dortmund's performance drops too much after I help you raise funds in the transfer market in the summer, then I will lend you money, no matter how much I don’t even want the annual interest. And your club is short of money next season, so I can lend you tens of millions of euros.”

Meyer took a deep breath.In fact, Meyer has been in this industry for so many years. It's not that he doesn't know what Rist thinks, it's not that he can't guess Rist's plan.But Meyer has nothing to do now.After all, Dortmund is at an absolute disadvantage.Moreover, the conditions proposed by Rist are not bad.

"Rist, tell me who should be sold? Who should be brought in?"

"Starting from the defense, Metzelder is sold. Metzelder is considered the best central defender that you have produced in Germany in recent years. As long as you sell well, you can come back for tens of millions."

"Then who will you buy?"

For the current Meyer, leaving youth players is nonsense.It's only true that the club is going through the difficulties it's going through right now.Therefore, he has no nostalgia for Metzelder at all. If Metzelder can be sold for a good price, he will be very happy.

"Boulahrouz, a Dutch central defender. His worth is around 200 million euros. Let me give you another candidate, Hannover's Mertesacker, which is only 200 million euros. These two players, you Dortmund take If you get it, you will make money. The two of them may not be able to become superstars at the level of Nesta and Stam, but they are both capable of playing the main central defender in a strong European team. In the future, they will both be worth more than [-] million."

"I made a note. What else?"

Meyer took careful note of the players Rist was talking about.Although he is ready to accept Rist's suggestion, as the general manager of Dortmund, he still needs to investigate, and he can't always say what Rist said.He still wants to maintain his last dignity.

"Jankulovski, I'm going to take it away. Don't worry, you can pay Dortmund as much as you want. I won't press your price."

Meyer was calculating.Metzelder is a new generation of talented central defender in Germany, and he is only 22 years old now.At present, the market is very high, and the price will not be too low.If it weren't for the current downturn in the European football transfer market, it would have been able to sell for more than 2000 million euros four or five years ago.Jankulovski is also 26 years old and is at his peak.It will also be worth more than ten million.Even if Boulahrouz and Mertesacker are bought together, it will not exceed 400 million euros.After these two transactions, Dortmund will be able to raise 2000 million euros in the transfer market.

"There's also Amoruso, let's deal with it while it's worth some money." (To be continued...)
