Li Mu does not expect to hold a controlling stake in Jorge Mendez's agency. For a free economic company like his, the holding itself is meaningless. The best way is to tie him up with interests and be willing to use it for himself.
After listening to Li Mu's words, Jorge Mendez understood in his heart what Li Mu really wanted. The 20% share just wanted his sincerity. Li Mu simply didn't care about the interests behind the 20% share. , all he wants is to stand in line.
Although Li Mu has just entered the Premier League market and just bought a second-rate club like Manchester City, Jorge Mendes is unswervingly prepared to take all his belongings on Li Mu's boat. He knows that he will continue to hang out. In European football, in the end, you will only be a top football agent, and there will be no other development possibilities. However, if you become Li Mu's partner, it will open up unlimited potential and possibilities for the future.
Therefore, Jorge Mendez said to Li Mu without hesitation: "Mr. Li, I have no objection to your cooperation plan, and I very much look forward to in-depth cooperation with you."
Li Mu smiled and nodded, saying: "Then it's settled. If I have players I want in the future, I'll leave them all to you to help me solve them."
Jorge Mendez immediately agreed and said, "No problem at all. Please ask your legal attorney to give me a template for the equity transfer agreement. I can sign it at any time."
Li Mu was very satisfied with Jorge Mendes's attitude and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I will make people prepare and wait for Cristiano's transfer contract to be signed together."
"Okay!" The excitement on Jorge Mendes' face was palpable, and he said excitedly: "I will communicate with the Manchester United team later today. Tomorrow your CEO can go to Manchester United to solve the follow-up problems."
Having said that, Jorge Mendes added: "By the way, Mr. Li, I estimate that with Sir Alex Ferguson's behavior, he will not be willing to suffer such a dumb loss, which means that he is likely to do everything possible to If they want to keep Cristiano at Manchester United and prevent Manchester City from triggering his liquidated damages, they are likely to complain to the FA. If they really complain, then this will be a wrangling process. If they If we really try our best to keep Cristiano, then it is very likely that the Football Association will delay it until the summer transfer window closes."
Li Mu frowned and asked, "Is there still such an operation?"
"Theoretically it is feasible." Jorge Mendes said very seriously: "Manchester United's behavior is very tough, not only Ferguson, but also the capital behind Manchester United. Their network and influence in the UK are very strong. It’s very strong, even if it’s a reasonable operation based entirely on the contract, they can make up any reason to complain or protest to the FA, so we have to be prepared for this in advance.”
Li Mu thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and thought to himself, if Manchester United really wants to play this way, then he will ask Prince William for help, and then leave the matter directly to the royal family to solve. If they can't even handle this little thing, then I also need to re-examine my future cooperation with them.
Immediately, Li Mu said to Jorge Mendez: "I will be prepared for this matter. If they really do this, I will not let them succeed."
Jorge Mendez nodded. He naturally believed in Li Mu's strength. In fact, he already had a solution for this matter. Li Mu could get the precious GBE medal from the royal family. This meant that the royal family and Li Mu The relationship must be very close. Perhaps the royal family is very eager to get closer to Li Mu. With the help of the British royal family behind the scenes, the FA can still solve this small matter.
However, Jorge Mendes also knows that although he knows the solution to this kind of thing, it is best not to take the initiative to say it in front of Li Mu at the moment. There is a big gap between his and Li Mu's ranks. If he says it, it will become I taught Li Mu how to do things by myself, and Li Mu could probably think of asking the royal family for help. If Li Mu really couldn't think of this, I would remind him in a subtle way.
After negotiating the transfer of Ronaldo and the cooperation between Makino Technology and Jorge Mendes, Li Mu said to Jorge Mendes: "By the way, I still have a few young players who are interested. , please help me communicate their situation as soon as possible, it is best to sign them all before the summer earning window closes."
Jorge Mendes hurriedly took out a pen and notepad from his pocket and said: "Mr. Li, just tell me your name and the team you are currently playing for. I will communicate with their club immediately when I get back."
Li Mu said: "I want Everton's Wayne Rooney."
"Rooney?" Jorge Mendes said with a slightly admiring expression: "Mr. Li, your vision is really good. Rooney has great potential and has already emerged at Everton. There are already some sporadic voices that think that he If we keep this up, we could be the next leader in English football in the future."
Li Mu nodded and asked him: "What do you think about using Rooney to partner with Cristiano on the front line?"
Jorge Mendez's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The two of them are similar in age, their skills are very solid, and their speed is relatively fast. They have a keen sense of smell in front of the goal. If the two of them partner up, after a period of tacit understanding, After cultivation and training, it should have very good results.”
Li Mu nodded and said: "Then help me talk to Everton. If possible, it would be great to send one of Manchester City's current forwards to pay part of the transfer fee."
Jorge Mendes immediately agreed and said: "I will communicate with Everton as soon as possible."
Li Mu then added: "In addition to Wayne Rooney, I have two other players that I am interested in. One is Alger Robben of the Dutch Football Club Eindhoven, and the other is Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia. Luka Modric of the club.”
After hearing this, Jorge Mendes couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It was surprising that a busy man like Li Mu could pay attention to the Premier League, but he didn't expect that he could also pay attention to the Eredivisie and the Croatian League, especially the latter. Or, even I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Surprised, Jorge Mendes still replied very professionally: "Mr. Li, I have heard about Arjen Robben you mentioned. It seems that Chelsea is more interested in him and are talking about his transfer next year." Regarding Chelsea, it is estimated that the transfer fee should be around 8 million pounds. If Robben performs well in the Eredivisie this season, the price should rise a little more. As for Modric you mentioned, to be honest, I have not heard about it. However, we need to inquire more to find out."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Rooney, Robben and Modric, take down all three of them."
"No problem, I will sign them all according to your instructions!"
Li Mu said: "As soon as possible, there are only a few days until the summer transfer window closes."
Jorge Mendes asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, when will you announce your ownership of Manchester City Club?"
Star transfers not only require money, but also attractiveness. With Manchester City's current strength, it is still attractive to players like Modric and Robben who play outside the five major leagues, but For players like Rooney, that may not be the case.
Manchester City Club is not well-known in the Premier League, far worse than Manchester United in the same city. However, if Li Mu announces that he is the new boss of Manchester City, then Manchester City's reputation will quickly increase a lot, so Hall Mendes wants to know whether Li Mu has decided to announce the news to the outside world, and if so, when. This will have a great impact on the three players he wants to talk about next.
Li Mu said to Jorge Mendez: "I have to fly back to China in three hours. After the plane takes off, the news will be officially announced to the outside world."
Jorge Mendes breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That would be great!"
After everything was settled, Jorge Mendes and Ronaldo left the Manchester City training base.
After the two got into the car, Jorge Mendes did not rush to send Ronaldo back. On the contrary, he drove the car out of the Manchester City training base and drove in the opposite direction.
In the car, Jorge Mendes said to Ronaldo: "Don't say anything after you go back today. If Ferguson finds you, don't say anything. If he asks you, you tell him that you give all the decision-making power." Leave it all to me, no matter what decision I make, you will accept it unconditionally, so you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
Ronaldo nodded slightly and said: "Okay Mr. Mendes, I understand."
Jorge Mendes smiled with satisfaction and added: "Ferguson will definitely find a way to stabilize you. In tomorrow's game, he may even let you start directly to show that he values you. Then you will Just play with all your strength, and the better you play, the better.”
Ronaldo immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely do my best."
…
After sending away Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Mendes, Li Mu looked at the time and said to the team's CEO and head coach: "Let the main players of the first team come to the conference room later. I will tell them Let’s meet.”
CEO Alister immediately nodded and whispered a few words into the head coach's ear, and then the head coach immediately stood up and left the meeting room.
As the new owner of the team, Li Mu naturally has to formally meet with the team members, announce his ownership of the club in person, and then outline the future development direction of the club.
Moreover, Li Mu is still thinking about meeting Sun Jihai in the Manchester City team. This can be regarded as the most successful and stable among the few Chinese players who have developed in Europe. He wants to turn Manchester City into a club for outstanding Chinese players. In the European training camp, seniors like Sun Jihai are particularly important. In the future, he must lead by example and work harder to set a perfect example for players who will come to play for Manchester City Club in the future.
