Porto are one of the traditional top three in Portugal's top flight, and Porto rose to prominence in what period it was in their current president, Pinto. Reach. Costa's rise to prominence was marked by Porto's first Champions League trophy during his tenure, breaking the monopoly of the Portuguese top flight title by two giants in the capital Lisbon, winning more than a dozen league titles.

Costa is 65 years old and has been president of Porto for almost 20 years, Porto is a multi-sport club, not only football, but also many other sports, such as hockey, swimming, etc., and has also gained a lot under the leadership of Costa.

This is a very capable chairman, a very shrewd chairman, Mendes swore to Hugo that he could convince Costa to let go, but unfortunately the chairman was not willing to let go at all, even if Mendes had a very good relationship with him, the reason for not letting him go was that the price was too low, according to his idea, at least Trapani would have to pay 16 million euros for him to let Deco go.

Deco has been coming to Portugal for several years, and he can get a Portuguese passport for a long time, but his three years in Porto were only slightly highlighted last year, Mendes thinks that Costa will sell 10 million This is the reason, a season is not very convincing for other teams, not to mention that you are fucking in the Portuguese league, but Costa is not willing to agree to such a transfer fee.

"Jorge, didn't you say that Colleni was rich?! 16 million euros, I asked him to take Deco away! Otherwise, it's all about talking! Jorge, don't always think about your players, you have to think about the team! Deco is the most important player in our team and we can't live without him! Costa said eloquently that Deco is indeed critical, but for Costa it is not really critical to the point of not selling.

"Mr. Costa, we're not La Liga here! The price for a player to sell for 16 million euros is simply unthinkable! Don't you think?! Mendez calmly persuaded.

What he said is also true, Portugal also has players going to the five major leagues, but how can there be any transfer of more than 10 million euros, this Costa clearly knows that Hugo is rich, and he is ruthless!

"There is always a first time in everything, and I am sure that Mr. Colini will understand that this price is appropriate!" Costa said with a sly look.

Sailly did not show up, he only met with Deco once under Mendes' arrangement, and then watched a number of games of Deco's games, and came to the conclusion that Deco is indeed very good, the price of 10 million euros is too high, but if he can continue to improve, then it can also be worth betting.

Selly conveyed his judgment to Hugo, who was reassured and said to Cellly: "Then let's see how Jorge works!" 10 million euros is the limit, and I can't come out with any more! ”

Even if Deco is a really good player, Hugo really doesn't have the money to spend, the salary plus the transfer fee is not cheap, and there is no regret if he can't get it, Hugo never believed that one person could change the fate of Trapani, and it was him, not Deco.

In addition to Trapani and Porto playing their own little calculations, the party Deco also has his own calculations, he himself is very unhappy to go to the third tier of the Italian league, although the Portuguese league is second-rate, but Porto can always participate in the Champions League, and Trapani can show his face in the Champions League, can't!

"Deco, you don't just see now! You're not too young now! You also know that your salary in Porto is so much, playing football is your profession and you need him to support your family! I spoke to Mr. Colani, he admires you very much, he is willing to offer you an annual salary of 2 million euros after tax, you can tell me, who else can offer you such a good salary?! Mendes threw out the first temptation.

"2 million euros?! Or after taxes?! "Deco almost didn't jump off the couch, so much!

What is this kind of treatment, it is completely the treatment of top players in the five major leagues! Trapani's boss treats him as a top star and is willing to pay him such a high salary.

In the face of such a high salary, it is no wonder that Deco is not moved, he knows his own fame, and there are probably very few clubs that have heard of him in the five major European leagues, but now there is a person who is willing to trust him and give him such a price, how can Deco be indifferent.

"2 million euros, after tax!" Mendes said with certainty, "You should know that the best league in the world right now is Serie A, the best stars are also in Italy, and the highest-paid stars are still in Italy!" Trapani don't look at them in the third division, but I have a lot of confidence in them, it's not the first time I've dealt with Mr. Colani, we met two years ago, we're not just business partners but friends! He has an extensive football network in Italy, and this summer their main centre-back was favored by Milan and moved to Milan! ”

"And I have another player on my side, Meireles, who has also been on the radar of Milan, their striker Luca Lees. Toney also received an invitation from Juventus! When you go to Italy, don't look at the low level, but you can get more attention from the big teams than in Porto, that's the point! That's the point! That's why I want to run you to Trapani! If you play there for a year and you can accept an invitation from a big team, we can go straight to the big clubs, that's our ultimate goal! ”

"Could it be that Mr. Colleni will agree to let me go?!" Deco talked about it as if he was tempted.

"Hehe, as long as you have enough money, you are still worried that he will not let go!" Mendes laughed, "And I've already told him that he has to let you go if there is a team that can bid 20 million euros!" ”

"20 million euros?!" Once again, Deco couldn't believe he was worth 20 million euros.

"Deco, don't think too low of yourself! I'm sure you'll be the best player and for 20 million euros someone will be happy to buy you! The key is that you make it visible to them! Mendes said seriously.

Mendes continued to negotiate with Costa, but this time with Deco's transfer application, he wanted to use the player to put pressure on Costa, although he was very reluctant to do so, which would be tantamount to offending Costa, knowing that without Costa's help, it would be difficult for him to bring in so many players in Porto.

"No way!" Costa replied to Mendes with the same word: "NO!" ”

Costa is not afraid of Mendes at all, he doesn't believe Mendes will really turn his face, and coming up with a player transfer application is just a strategy.

Sure enough, Mendes has no way, but Mendes, who is working hard to do it, has a way.

He immediately called Hugo to discuss the second option, "The loan plus transfer meets Costa's requirements!" ”

"Hahaha!" Hugo smiled, "Jorge, two days ago you swore that you could convince Porto to release people, my bid of 10 million euros is already the limit, and now you ask me to meet their demands!" I'm disgusted that you've gone back on your word! ”

Hugo is not angry, he doesn't value Deco so much, he just thinks that this deal can really be successful, and it is okay if it doesn't work!

"Gigi, listen to me, there's no way I'm going to turn my face with them for Deco! You should know who I am, I am an honest person, a reliable friend! But I don't know what that damn old guy thinks, he's determined to kill you! ......," Mendez said in a low voice.

"So you're going to help him kill me?!" Hugo interrupted Mendes.

"No, how could I do that! It's actually good for you, you spend 1 million euros on Deco on a one-year loan, and if you're happy you can buy him out next year for 15 million euros! The buyout clause is not mandatory! If you are not satisfied, you can not choose to activate the buyout clause, and the salary only needs to maintain Porto's contract with Deco! You're gambling with 1 million euros now, which is much better than if you gambled with 10 million euros! Mendez said.

Hugo sneered in his heart, fuck your braggart mouth is amazing! You can also be told to live in a dead game!

Thinking so in his heart, Hugo has to admit that this plan is actually better than a buyout, as Mendes said that the risk is less now, but next year it will be a transfer of 1500 euros, how many players is enough to buy?!

"You make me think!" Hugo hung up the phone, and he then consulted Giorgio and Cerly for their opinions, Cerly agreed, and Giorgio objected, thinking that even if it was a Serie B team, it would be crazy to use sixteen million to bring in an obscure Deco.

Hugo still chose to believe in Sely, anyway, it's a big deal to lose 1 million euros, since Mendes wants his players to get on the springboard of Trapani, it will be a real loss when the time comes, so you have to find Mendes to settle accounts, and you have to compensate yourself for a few players.

Costa is pleased with Mendes' proposal, and although he would love to add a mandatory buyout, he knows it is not possible, but given that Trapani is a team in Italy's third division, he is optimistic about Deco's infusion, and he believes that Trapani may not be able to do without Deco next year.

In just a few days, Mendes talked to the two clubs, and Deco made sense, and this most strange deal was born, the main player of a Portuguese Super League team was unbelievably loaned to Trapani, the third division of Italy, with a loan fee of only 1 million euros, and a buyout fee of up to 15 million euros.

As the mouthpiece of Trapani, New Sports and Trapani Weekly have been broadcast for the first time, and the focus is on the follow-up buyout fee, I have to say that Hugo is very strategic in expanding his popularity, the entire C1 League is boiling, the entire Trapani province is boiling, and the whole Italy is also boiling, Trapani's owner is really rich, sold Victor, but changed hands to buy Porto's main midfielder at a high price.
