Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The two sides of the two sides have been in a state of panic.

I don't know if Maicon guessed that Allen had reported to him about his contract renewal. Li Shiguang always felt that Maicon was a little evasive during the whole training today.

In order not to affect the game during this period because of this matter, Li Shiguang called Maicon to the office after the training. He wanted to understand the boy's true thoughts.

"Sit down, Michael, is white water okay?"

After returning to the office, Li Shiguang asked Maicon to sit down first, and then personally poured two glasses of water before walking back.

Maicon seemed to know what Li Shiguang wanted to talk to him about, so when he saw Li Shiguang sitting down, he took the initiative to speak: "Boss, you called me here today to talk to me about the contract renewal?"

Li Shiguang nodded and responded: "Yes, I heard from Allen that the negotiations between him and your agent in terms of salary were not smooth, so I wanted to ask you about the specific situation. Did you ask for this level of salary increase yourself, or are there other reasons?"

In fact, when Li Shiguang learned that Maicon's salary requirements were a bit beyond his expectations, he was quite puzzled, because Maicon was different from many Brazilian players. He was not a player who came from the slums.

Maicon's father had a good job in their hometown. He was the head coach of a local football club's youth team. In terms of income, he was also at an upper-middle level. Maicon also embarked on the path of football under the influence of his father.

In European and American football, if there is such a football heritage in the family, generally speaking, the players' pursuit of competition and honor is greater than the pursuit of money, so Li Shiguang did not believe that it was Maicon who proposed such a large salary increase. There must be some twists and turns in it.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Shiguang finished speaking, Maicon spoke: "Boss, this is definitely not my instruction! I asked Antonio to speak directly before, but he said that he wanted to make preparations for both situations, so he proposed that condition to Allen. In fact, I don't agree!"

After speaking, Maicon also deliberately looked at Li Shiguang's face and saw that Li Shiguang was just looking at him, waiting for him to finish speaking.

So he seemed to have made a very important decision and took a deep breath: "Boss, I actually have a dream..."

But what exactly is this dream? Before Maicon could say it, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

Allen opened the door and came in.

He first glanced at Maicon on the sofa, then pointed to the phone in his hand that seemed to be connected, and gestured to Li Shiguang.

Li Shiguang understood immediately and patted Maicon on the shoulder: "Michael, I understand, but now it seems that I have something urgent to deal with. Let's talk about your matter tomorrow."

As soon as Maicon left, Allen handed the phone to Li Shiguang: "Boss, Calderon's call."

Li Shiguang was stunned at first, and then immediately thought of Maicon who had just left.

It seems that the reason why Antonio proposed such an outrageous renewal condition should have been found! Li Shiguang also roughly knew what Maicon's dream was.

····

Li Shiguang took the phone from Allen, and then greeted the new head of Real Madrid who he had dealt with for the first time: "Hello, Mr. Calderon, I am Li Shiguang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man who sounded kind came from the other side of the phone.

"Hahaha, hello Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly! I'm Calderon, the new president of Real Madrid! Mr. Allen just said that you're getting ready to get off work, so I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

Li Shiguang smiled. He basically knew the purpose of Calderon's call, so he didn't want to be too polite with him and repeated again: "Nothing, Mr. Calderon, I heard Mr. Folentino talk about you before, what's the matter with you calling today?"

Seeing that Li Shiguang didn't seem to want to say a few more pleasantries to him, Calderon was also very tactful and got straight to the point.

"Mr. Li, the reason I called you today is to formally propose to you to buy Leeds United's right back, Maicon."

Damn, it's true! Hearing this, Li Shiguang couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Combined with Maicon's hesitant attitude just now, Li Shiguang was sure that Calderon, the old Biden, must have contacted the player in advance!

Even if they didn't contact Maicon directly, they must have contacted Maicon's agent.

Antonio is playing hot. Otherwise, how could Antonio propose such an outrageous contract renewal condition!

Thinking of this situation, Li Shiguang felt very unhappy, so he said coldly: "Okay! Then what is your offer for Maicon?"

"10 million euros."

Hearing this price, Li Shiguang frowned and immediately rejected Calderon seriously: "I'm sorry, Mr. Calderon, this price is too far from my requirements."

This is not the Leeds United that was still in the English Championship two years ago! My Leeds United is now a real team in the top 16 of the Champions League and the Premier League championship!

You must know that Maicon played 8 assists and 2 goals in Leeds United last season, and his appearance rate among all Leeds United players is also ranked in the first echelon all year round. The most important thing is that Maicon is only 26 years old! Even though the position of full-back requires high physical fitness, at least Maicon can play well for another 3-4 years. With this kind of data and this age of player, are you kidding me? You want to buy him for 10 million euros? This price is really a bit insulting!

However, Calderon seemed to know that Li Shiguang would reject this offer. His tone was still calm: "Mr. Li, but it is said that Maicon's contract only has one and a half years left. If you don't sell it now, if he doesn't want to renew it, you will be in vain?"

Calderon's words are undoubtedly a naked threat.

Indeed!

Maicon's contract only has one and a half years left. If he insists on not renewing his contract, even if other teams are interested in him later, the possibility of selling him at a high price is very low.

In general, in this case, the club seeking to buy this player will first reach an agreement with the player himself in private, and then join as a free agent after the player's contract expires. At most, the club will pay a separate signing fee at that time, which is definitely lower than buying the player directly from the current club! However, if this situation really happens, it means that the player has completely torn his face with the current club, and the club is not completely unable to fight back.

For example, now, if Maicon really wants to go his own way, Li Shiguang can completely relegate him to the reserve team and not give him any playing time in the first team. This will inevitably affect Maicon's competitive state. At that time, even if he wants to go to Real Madrid, it depends on whether the opponent wants him!

But if this is done, there is one thing Li Shiguang must solve first.

That is, in the right back position, he must immediately find a candidate who can replace Maicon to ensure that Leeds United has enough competitiveness in subsequent games.

As for this candidate, Li Shiguang heard Allen's report in the morning, but he didn't have time to think about it because he was busy training.

However, after being stimulated by Calderon, a name suddenly appeared in his mind...
