Chapter 31
The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.
Comrade Yang Luo has started a new round of buying plans.
This time he plans to try his luck at Real Madrid.
In the summer of this year, Real Madrid made an extremely stupid decision.
Makelele became a victim of Real Madrid's superstar policy. Real Madrid would rather spend a huge amount of money to buy Beckham, who is not needed, than to give Makelele a salary increase and contract extension.
After Makelele left, Real Madrid, which lacked a defensive midfielder, finally collapsed across the board and was completely suppressed by Barcelona in China.
This also marked the beginning of the failure of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship.
The funny thing is that Beckham was eventually forced to play the defensive midfielder position.
Yang Luo wanted to take advantage of the gap when Chelsea had not yet successfully acquired Makelele to blitz Makelele.
As for the money issue, that's easy to talk about!
When they arrived in Madrid, Florentino was in a meeting.
However, he still arranged for someone to take Yang Luo and Bernstein to visit the club's Hall of Fame.
It was indeed the most successful club in the 20th century. Their Hall of Fame was large and comfortable, with all kinds of trophy replicas placed everywhere.
Looking at the dazzling trophy replicas, Yang Luo suddenly remembered the picture that those netizens in later generations spoofed Florentino.
Florentino sat between more than a dozen Champions League trophies, and the picture read: You can't compare us with those big clubs.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look a little weird.
Bernstein saw his expression and signaled him with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Yang Luo raised his eyebrows at him and whispered: "How about we build such a big honor room when we go back?"
Bernstein glanced at him: "Ours is enough for now, it's very empty..."
The beautiful girl who was responsible for the introduction couldn't help but smile when she heard their conversation.
After they finished shopping, Florentino had finished the meeting, and both parties sat down in the conference room.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Bernstein said: "Mr. Florentino, we came here to buy Claude Makelele, the French midfielder in your team."
Florentino nodded clearly: "Mr. Bernstein, I understand your intention. In fact, we are open to Makelele's stay or leave. Of course, this requires a suitable offer from you."
Yang Luo couldn't help but nod secretly.
This is indeed the magnanimity of the first club. They rarely make things difficult for you when selling players. As long as the players want to leave, they will not hold you back on the transfer fee.
So Yang Luo did not hesitate: "Mr. Florentino, our first offer for Makelele is 15 million pounds."
Florentino smiled: "Mr. Yang, this offer may not be enough to impress us."
Yang Luo thought about it: "Let's add another 3 million pounds, 18 million pounds."
Florentino pondered for a moment: "Okay, deal."
Yang Luo and Bernstein were both stunned. Florentino was so happy.
Sure enough, as long as they reached their expected price, they would not hesitate at all!
This kind of trading partner is Yang Luo's favorite.
He made up his mind to cooperate more with Real Madrid in the future.
They have a lot of good stuff, so he has to keep an eye on it at any time.
After the two clubs reached an agreement, Florentino immediately notified Makelele and asked him to come to the club to discuss the contract with Yang Luo and others.
Makelele had already had a disagreement with Real Madrid over the contract renewal issue. When he heard that a club had made an offer, he immediately rushed over with his agent.
Although he was not very satisfied with the size of Manchester City, the club had been making quite a lot of noise recently, and had also hired the famous coach Van Gaal...
When he and his agent heard about the contract offered by Bernstein, they were immediately more excited.
In the end, they accepted the contract with a weekly salary of 65,000 pounds offered by Bernstein.
This was the same team's top salary as Ronaldinho, which made Makelele feel that Manchester City valued him.
Yang Luo was also very satisfied with the deal. Although they paid a lot, the 30-year-old Makelele still had a lot of energy and could contribute at least three to four years of high-level performance to the team.
Yang Luo remembered that he was selected into the FIFA Best Team after he transferred to Chelsea, which was enough to show his level.
And he could also provide experience and influence in the locker room as the team's big brother with Van der Sar and Stam, which was very important for the formation of the team's culture.
The result is very favorable.
He can no longer imagine how terrible the combination of Makelele and Essien will be in the new season!
After getting Makelele, Yang Luo did not choose to return to England, but went directly to Real Sociedad.
This Basque team won the second place in the league last year because of the rise of a player and got a place in the Champions League next season.
And this player is Yang Luo's target this time, Xabi Alonso.
But here, Yang Luo was rejected neatly.
This is a native flagship player of the Royal Underworld, and his father and brother have also played for the team. He is a player with a good family background.
And next season, they still have the Champions League to play, so naturally they don't want to let go of this soul of the team.
The team's attitude is very firm, and Yang Luo can only leave helplessly.
But before leaving, he reached an agreement with Real Sociedad that if Real Sociedad fails to qualify for the Champions League next year and Xabi Alonso wants to leave the team, then they can be allowed to have the right of first refusal.
Real Sociedad can accept this clause, after all, he also knows that it is difficult for his team to keep Xabi Alonso forever, which is also the sadness of small teams.
In this trip to Spain, the two target midfielders were taken and one failed, which is in line with expectations.
After returning to England, Manchester City Club immediately announced the joining of Makelele.
The 30-year-old top midfielder will play for Manchester City in the next three years. With his joining, Manchester City's midfield line immediately became the first-class level of the Premier League.
This deal has really improved Manchester City's strength. Although there may be a certain premium, the overall public opinion is still optimistic.
Lineker even commented: "With Makelele joining, Manchester City already has the strength to impact the European arena!"
Even David Jones, Yang Luo's number one hater, said: "This deal is at least much better than buying those two kids for 20 million pounds. Yang Luo finally made the right deal."
After seeing his report, Yang Luo couldn't help laughing: "It seems that these people like mature men, not young hunks."
Bernstein rolled his eyes: "Everyone likes geniuses, but not everyone bets as heavily as you do."
Yang Luo smiled and didn't argue.
The value of those two people is far more than 200 million pounds.
