Chapter 213: Crazy Transfer (3)
Paris Saint-Germain know that the club's financial resources and attractiveness are not enough to compete with a giant like Manchester United, and the club, which is mired in economic crisis, is very keen to sell Ronaldinho for a good price in the transfer market.
Before Jiang Feng bought Manchester United, Manchester United had already offered Ronaldinho a transfer fee of 12 million pounds, but this is still far from the 20 million pounds expected by the Parisian side.
Paris are well aware of Ronaldo's market value, and the World Cup-winning member is currently being pursued by half of Europe's big clubs, and Manchester United will not buy it, and someone is willing to pay for the Brazilian.
And after Jiang Feng bought Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain did not let go. Although Paris Saint-Germain knew that the deep-pocketed United were bound to win this time, they were keen to make the United bleed on the transfer fee, and the club took pains to say that the club was not prepared to make the transfer until the French Cup was all over on May 31. While the incoming Paris Saint-Germain boss is keen to keep the star of the game, it is only a matter of time before he slips on the red shirt of Manchester United.
At this time, because Manchester United was still hesitating whether to sell Beckham to Barcelona or Real Madrid, Real Madrid also intervened in the competition to buy Ronaldinho.
In fact, it was just a smokescreen thrown by Real Madrid to help them sign Manchester United's superstar David Beckham, with Barca, who had already agreed a transfer fee with Manchester United, now have the upper hand. Real Madrid intervened in Ronaldinho in the hope that United would reverse the agreement reached with Barcelona.
However, it has to be said that Real Madrid's move has completely muddied the already clear situation.
However, at this time, La Liga giants Barcelona, who have been sinking in recent years and are eager to rebuild, stepped in and offered Paris Saint-Germain a whopping 30 million euros, which is equivalent to 20 million pounds. Far higher than Manchester United's offer of £15 million.
In such a situation, Paris Saint-Germain is not in a hurry. The snipe and the clam compete for the profit of the fisherman, and now it wants to be the fisherman who makes the profit.
And the initial upper limit given by Jiang Feng to Xiao Luo for this deal was 20 million pounds. Barcelona are now the first to make the offer, leaving United's hierarchy in a quandary. That's why he called Jiang Feng in a hurry and asked him to make a decision.
And the situation in Drogba's transfer is much the same as that of Ronaldo.
Originally, Manchester United had made an offer of £3 million for Guingamp, which had already been agreed. In fact, this price is also not much different from the price of Drogba's transfer to Marseille in this time period.
But. At another time, the Marseille team that got Drogba this summer stopped working, and they joined in, and suddenly raised it to five million pounds.
Because Jiang Feng gave the death order, Drogba was the player who had to be taken, and Manchester United made another offer of seven million pounds.
Who knows, it immediately seemed to be spent with Manchester United, and the-for-tat price raised the offer to eight million pounds. This time, it made Ferguson and other Manchester United executives embarrassed. Though. Jiang Feng said that Drogba is a player who must be won, but it is too risky to spend a huge sum of 10 million pounds or more to buy such a player who is not yet famous.
These transfers are inside. The most difficult is Rooney's transfer.
There is no doubt that Wayne Rooney is now a genius to be watched all over England.
Before the 01-02 season, the 15-year-old Rooney was told he would be part of Everton's first team.
In the 2002/03 season, at the age of 16, Wayne Rooney played against Tottenham Hotspur in the opening game of the league. Completed his Premier League debut.
In October 2002, in the final minute of Everton's game against Arsenal, a teenager who had just come on as a substitute beat Seaman with a stunning curling goal. That's Rooney's opening phrase: youth is invincible. On this day, Wayne Rooney was only 16 years and 360 days old, and a new record was set for the youngest goalscorer in the Premier League.
In February 2003, at the age of 17 years and 111 days, Wayne Rooney made his debut for England in a match against Australia, becoming the youngest player to make an appearance for the England national team (overtaken by Theo Walcott before the 06 World Cup). In September 2003, at the age of 17 years and 317 days, Wayne Rooney scored his first international goal in the European Championship qualifiers against Macedonia, becoming the youngest goalscorer ever scored by the England national team.
Wayne Rooney's appearance is a series of records.
In front of the youthful Rooney, there is almost no impossibility.
It is precisely because of the realization of Rooney's value that Everton first rejected Manchester United's first offer of 8 million pounds without hesitation, and then when Manchester United increased the offer to 10 million pounds, he refused again without hesitation, and told Manchester United that Rooney was not for sale.
Although Jiang Feng knows that for Everton, Rooney is not really a non-sale, because in another time and space, he will wear the Manchester United shirt in the summer of next year. However, it was only after Manchester United paid an almost sky-high transfer fee of £30 million that the English prodigy was brought to Old Trafford.
Jiang Feng knows very well that the current Rooney is definitely not worth 30 million pounds, and 10 million pounds should more truly reflect his current worth.
However, in the face of this offer, Everton was completely indifferent.
Jiang Feng had a headache.
Although he is very rich now, the value of these players, even if it doubles a few times, is nothing to him, but Jiang Feng does not want to be a wronged boss and come up with a price that exceeds the current value of these players. Even though, he is very aware of the potential of these players.
Jiang Feng eats everything, but he just doesn't want to suffer!
And just when Jiang Feng was having a headache about the transfer of these people, another thing happened that gave him a headache - hundreds of Manchester United fans heard that he was the owner of Manchester, and directly besieged the hotel where he was staying.
For Manchester United fans, although intellectually they know that the addition of Jiang Feng, a super-rich man, will promote the development of Manchester United, emotionally speaking, Manchester United fans are somewhat unwilling in their hearts. In particular, after Jiang Feng acquired 92% of Manchester United's shares, he delisted it and became completely private property, which made Manchester United fans even more worried.
But for these fans who care about Manchester United. Jiang Feng couldn't take any drastic measures.
After thinking about it, Jiang Feng instructed Jiang Lingyu: "Lingyu, help me arrange a press conference." ”
"Yes, master." Jiang Lingyu nodded, turned around and left.
After waiting for Jiang Lingyu to arrange everything, Jiang Feng appeared at Manchester United's press conference at Old Trafford.
After Jiang Feng came out, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down. At the press conference held by Jiang Feng this time, in addition to the presence of many reporters, the real main force was Manchester United's loyal fans. These fan representatives were Jiang Fengte and asked Jiang Lingyu to invite them over. Originally, these fan representatives were reluctant to come, but at the invitation of Jiang Lingyu. In addition, Jiang Feng is always a little curious about holding a press conference, so many fan representatives gathered in the press conference hall.
Haven't you been misled by other media to oppose me, after today, I want you to become my most faithful "believers", and what my finger points at is the direction of your "charge"!
Looking at the audience with an angry face, there are several big fan team leaders who will not give up without Jiang Feng giving an explanation, Jiang Feng smiled faintly.
"First of all, I would like to thank all of you very much for the media. And these Manchester United fan representatives are able to attend this press conference, thank you! Jiang Feng bowed deeply and spoke.
Many reporters don't care about Jiang Feng's move, they didn't come to bow to Jiang Feng. It's to pull out the blockbuster news from Jiang Feng. You must know that Jiang Feng, a super-rich man who suddenly appeared, is very unfamiliar to them, and now they have a chance. Naturally, they won't let it go.
However, compared to the strangeness and indifference of many reporters, the representatives of Manchester United fans present at the scene "chuckled" in their hearts. The original "hatred" for Jiang Feng as if he had killed their whole family suddenly faded like this, and it felt that this new boss from China did not seem to be as treacherous as the newspaper said. At least no football club owner has ever valued fans that much. Whether it's superficial or not, but at least it makes them feel comfortable and respected.
Looking at the happy expressions on the faces of many Manchester United fans who felt respected and happy, Jiang Feng smiled.
In fact, many times, all people need is respect from the other person. And this has nothing to do with a person's social status, wealth and power, it is just respect.
"I've been reluctant to pay attention to the negative comments that have been made about me in many newspapers lately, as well as the reports that deliberately stigmatize me. Because some people or media rely on these news that violate the ethics and conscience of journalists to hype, make money, and attract attention, regardless of the truth, whether the originally kind, innocent people will be misled. Jiang Feng's eyes swept several reporters from The Sun and The Guardian with a look of disdain.
The reporters who were swept by the corner of Jiang Feng's eyes were like pins and needles. Jiang Feng's words are extremely powerful, scolding people without dirty words, although they don't name names, but they are enough to let everyone know who Jiang Feng is talking about, and the scolded people can't talk back.
"But now I don't pay attention to it, but I can't do it, because I don't like our most passionate, loyal, passionate Manchester United fans who have been misled too deeply by some media, so I have to stand up and clarify it now." Jiang Feng pressed his hands on the stage and stood up.
"First of all, you've probably read Forbes magazine and know that my personal worth is over $15 billion. What people don't know is that nearly half of my more than $15 billion in assets is still in cash at Citibank, so I'm not a man short of money and will never use Manchester United to pay my debts. And I want to make it clear that I've injected a total of $2 billion into Manchester United, of which $1.2 billion was spent on the acquisition of Manchester United, leaving $800 million. The $1.2 billion is all real money, and not even a penny of money is borrowed from a bank. Jiang Feng said with an amazing momentum.
Many Manchester United fans were slightly stunned, and then they were overjoyed, and secretly scolded themselves and others for being confused. How could they forget that Jiang Feng can be included in the top ten richest people in the world, a super-rich man with more than $15 billion in funds, and the $1.2 billion acquisition of Manchester United is really nothing to Jiang Feng, what do they have to worry about?
Also, Jiang Feng injected $2 billion into Manchester United this time, so what will the remaining $800 million be used for? The hearts of many Manchester United fans at the scene were in a beat. (To be continued.) )
