Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

In order to complete the recruitment work as soon as possible and not affect the team's pre-season preparation, Lu Wei personally flew to Italy to negotiate the loan of Balbosa with Inter Milan.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi has not yet become the chairman of Inter Milan, but Suning Sports acquired 68.55% of Inter Milan's shares last year, so when Lu Wei came here, everything was very smooth, the loan contract period was one year, the salary was borne by Inter Milan, FC United only needed to pay 2 million euros in loan fees, and included a buyout fee of 22 million euros.

Lu Wei quickly completed the loan procedures for Barbosa, but Barbosa himself had gone back to Brazil for vacation, Lu Wei did not see him, just a simple communication on the phone, an appointment with the team assembly time and hung up.

Lu Wei came to Italy with fanfare, of course, not just for Balbosa, after leaving Milan, Lu Wei went straight to Naples, came to a beach in Naples, and found Mino Raiola who was vacationing here.

"Hello, Mr. Raiola, long time no see, you really pick the ground, Naples summer is indeed very comfortable."

La Fat took off the sunglasses on his face and looked at Lu Wei, the two had met once in the winter of 16, and the transfer of Macaida from FC United to Fiorentina was planned by Raiola, and now Makaida has become an Italian international, scoring 11 goals in 32 appearances for Fiorentina last season, and has embarked on a completely different path from his previous life.

"I wonder what Mr. Lu is looking for me this time? Just make a phone call, you don't have to come in person. "

Even if Raiola is arrogant, he has to put it away in the face of Lu Wei, because Lu Wei is not an ordinary head coach, nor is he a simple football club president, with 90% of Europe's ride-hailing resources and nearly half of the UK's online e-commerce resources, he has already become a pivotal rich man in Europe, coupled with his achievements in football, even Mendes and Raiolaga together have to weigh it.

"You're welcome, Mr. Raiola, I have two players I want to talk to you about, these two players are very important to me and to you, so I thought it would be better to come and talk to you in person."

Speaking of the players, Raiola immediately sat up straight and stretched out her hand to make an inviting gesture to Lu Wei.

"You say."

"Well, we have a young player in our club who doesn't have an agent yet, his agent is his father at the moment, I want to introduce him to your agency, this little player has a good talent, I don't think you will miss him after you meet him, and then I want to buy Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Blaise Matuidi."

Matuidi, the 2015 French footballer of the year, a regular member of the French national team, after Verratti, Rabiot and Lo Celso and other youngsters gradually rose to prominence at Paris Saint-Germain, veterans over 30 years old like Matuidi have gradually lost their status, and Matuidi himself hopes to play in a team competitive enough to participate in next year's World Cup in Russia.

"Mr. Lu, I am happy to serve the matter of finding an agent for a young player, but Blaisse's transfer is a little difficult, I don't hide from you, Juventus is also interested in him, but he has not officially made an offer, and Blaise requires a somewhat high salary, I am afraid that your club's standards will not meet his requirements."

"Don't worry, Mr. Raiola, I know this, you should also know, our club's salary is higher than the same level of teams, our team will definitely not lose the players when promoted to the Premier League, although the current top salary in our team is only 60,000 pounds a week, but our team now lacks a heavyweight player, as long as Blaise is willing to join, we will give a contract no less than Juventus, as for the transfer fee paid to Paris Saint-Germain... We will not be stingy either, and we will definitely be worthy of Blaise status. Lu

Wei is very decisive in his determination to buy Matuidi, and knows that the current FC United can only rely on money to attract some big-name stars to join, especially Matuidi, a future World Cup champion, FC United's current strength is indeed good, but it lacks star flavor, the most famous Haaland is still in the youth team, Robertson is a full-back, and Maddison's coffee position is not very large, so Lu Wei hopes to introduce a World Cup champion to enhance the team's reputation.

The last World Cup champion Germany team did not have the people Lu Wei wanted, and most of them were not willing to leave Germany, as for Spain in 10 years, the people Lu Wei could see were older, and the salary could not be paid, so he had to set his sights on next year's French team.

The French team is in the middle of their careers at this time, and Matuidi is the only one who does not mix well in the club at this time, and the only player that FC United can hope to bring in.

"Well, Mr. Lu, I'll go talk to Blaise about it, but Juventus are facing a rebuild period now, they also need Blaise to join, I think he will refuse you, sorry."

Lu Wei smiled.

"Mr. Raiola, you are indeed a master in terms of player transfers, but I don't think you know about the club building, Juventus was indeed successful last season, but if you think about it, will they also have a place for Blaise after rebuilding, and you know better than me in the current football environment in Italy, whether it is fierce competition here or the competition in the Premier League, Blaise is not Italian but French, I think Deschamps should have more opportunities to watch the Premier League than Serie A."

Raiola put away his smile, which he did not expect, most of his players used to play in Serie A, but now Pogba, Ibrahimovic and others have left Italy for England, which also shows that the attractiveness of the Premier League is now much higher than that of Serie A, whether Matuidi is going to a giants of unknown status or to a Premier League team with top salaries, Raiola himself is not good.

"Mr. Lu, let Blaise decide this matter himself, I will also help persuade, let's talk about the little player you said first."

Lu Wei knew that Matuidi was also anxious, nodded to Raiola, and called up Ellin from his mobile phone. Haaland's profile.

"It turned out to be him."

Raiola exclaimed as soon as she saw Haaland's name.

"It seems that Mr. Raiola still knows our little player."

Raiola smiled, her face regaining a bit of confidence.

"It's not a secret, Mr. Lu, our agency has our own player evaluation system, this Haaland is also in our system, he is very famous in Norway, his father we dealt with back then, last year I heard that he had left Norway for England, but I didn't know that he had joined your team."

"Yes, I am optimistic about his potential and talent, so I want to ask you if you want to be his agent, of course, I don't want you to take him away after becoming his agent, I hope to use this to communicate with you more, and hope that I can become your friend."

"Of course, Mr. Lu, you are already my friend, I am happy to be his agent, and I will seriously complete the negotiations with your club in the future."

Lu Wei and Raiola talked about some other things unrelated to football, and the two chatted for a long time on the beach like a couple who had forgotten their years, and at sunset, Lu Wei declined Raiola's invitation to dinner, saying that he would leave Naples in the evening to bid farewell to the agent predator.

Two days later, Lu Wei was signing in the club's office when he received a call from Raiola.

"Mr. Lu, Blaise has made a decision, but he did not agree to come down, but put forward a condition to your team."

There was some worry in Raiola's words.

"Oh? What conditions?

Matuidi's reply aroused Lu Wei's curiosity.

'He said he would agree to transfer as long as FC United could get to the Europa League.
