Chapter 813 - Going to Southampton?

Madrid, Spain, in the upscale residential complex of La Finca.

A black BMW slowly stopped at the gate of one of the villas.

When the back door opened, I saw Jorge Mendes, a Portuguese agent dressed in a black crisp suit and a tie, getting out of the car.

"Drive to the front, stop on the side of the road and wait for me!" Mendez instructed the driver, turned around and walked towards the villa gate.

The doorbell rang at the gate, and soon, the door clicked and opened.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged couple in their fifties walking across the courtyard.

As soon as they saw Mendez, they shook their heads and sighed from afar.

"Jorge, this time, you have to think of a way."

"Yes, Jorge, they're just too much, you have to find a way to solve it!"

Looking at the anxious looks of the two, Mendes knew what was going on.

After meeting the two of them, he walked straight to the door of the villa without stopping, but his mouth was answering.

"I know, I know, Miguel, Diana, don't worry, listen to me!"

But the two of them followed closely beside Mendes, and they almost grabbed him from side to side.

"They're just an ungrateful bunch of people who have completely forgotten what my son has done for them!"

"And those fans, there are about 70 percent of the fans who support them to sell my son, it's just outrageous, absolutely impossible, it's an ugly game!"

Mendez listened to their complaints along the way, and suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight.

Before entering the villa gate, he suddenly stopped.

"Hey, hey, Miguel, Diana, listen to me, listen to me!" In the end, he had to accentuate his tone.

The middle-aged couple stopped, looked at each other, and looked at Mendes silently.

"I'll take care of this, okay?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Mendes interrupted them impatiently, "We're all annoyed now, the most important thing for you now is to be patient and don't add to the chaos, especially in the face of media reporters, don't talk too much, please!" ”

The middle-aged couple named Miguel and Diana were helpless and could only nod their heads in agreement.

Mendez also knew that the Argentine couple had not studied much.

Before their baby son made a name for himself by playing football, Miguel was a miner in Argentina, and their family was also a low-income family in Argentina, and life was very hard.

So, in a way, the son is the only pillar of their family.

When something happened to their son, they also suffered, so it was inevitable to be anxious.

Thinking of this, Mendes lowered his voice and reassured, "Trust me, it's okay!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the villa.

Behind him, where can the middle-aged couple relax?

They do believe Mendes, not because of how close they are to Mendes, or because of how good Mendes is, but because that's the only thing they can do right now.

Walking into the villa, in the hall, a young woman was teasing the little girl who was crawling on the carpet.

"Hi, Jorge Lina." Mendez smiled and greeted the young woman, then crouched down and beckoned to the pink little girl, "Hello, Mia, can you call me?" ”

Jorge Lina picked up her daughter, took her little hand, and waved it toward Mendes, "Come, tell me, hello, Uncle Jorge." ”

Mendez immediately smiled and gently tapped the little girl's nose and stood up again.

"He's supposed to be in the backyard." Jorge Lina said.

Mendez nodded, and walked to the backyard gate.

When he was going to rent this villa, it was the house that Mendes came to see in person, so he knew exactly how to get around.

Out of the villa, I came to the backyard, which was a flat meadow.

A skinny-looking young man in a Real Madrid jersey is playing on the grass.

The ball seemed to stick to his feet, allowing him to play with all kinds of different tricks, which was dazzling to watch. Shake/p>

He is the hero who just helped Argentina reach the final in the World Cup, Real Madrid player, Di Maria!

Mendes is a professional agent, has dealt with countless professional players, and he has produced many players with very good skills, but he can also see that there are only a handful of people who can do it to the same extent as Di Maria.

There may be one, but although that person's skills are good, his career is a mess, and he always disappoints people again and again, and his name is Quaresma!

Mendes watched for a moment, enjoying Di Maria's juggling of the ball, but had to interrupt early.

"Ahem, Angel!" Mendes shouted.

Di Maria, who was playing with the ball, heard the sound and immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Mendes, he raised his left foot and gave the ball that fell in mid-air to the next.

The ball seemed to be sucked in, stuck to his feet, and then picked up with his left foot, and as soon as he caught it with both hands, he caught the ball.

"Jorge!" Di Maria walked over.

Mendes could see that he was not interested, and nodded, "I'm sorry, I went to Italy yesterday and then to London, but as soon as I arrived in Madrid today, I immediately went to the Bernabeu to find out what was going on." ”

"Well, what do they say?" Di Maria looked calm.

But Mendes knew that this calm was only superficial, and in fact, he should have panicked in his heart.

Because just half a year ago, even before the World Cup, he told Mendes with great certainty that even if he accepted Real Madrid's salary contract, he still wanted to stay in Madrid.

However, now the situation has become complicated.

"I took a look at it, they decided to go all out to bring in James Rodriguez, although this player has received almost half of the offers from the big teams in Europe now, but you should know that he will not miss a shot!"

Di Maria knows that Mendes is the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez.

"And what is their attitude?" Di Maria was still very calm and asked lightly.

Mendes shook his head and smiled, "I talked to them and they proposed two options, either you go to Modric's transfer, or I will help you find a team and make a bid to meet Real Madrid's requirements. ”

When Di Maria heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "To Southampton?" ”

"Yes, according to the information I have gotten, Modric's transfer has been almost negotiated, and now the payment method has not been decided, Real Madrid wants to bring in James Rodriguez from the Saints again, and there is not enough money at all, so they need to sell a player to cash out."

Speaking of this, Mendes sighed with a wry smile: "You should know that they originally planned to sell you last summer, and they decided to keep you after I helped you coordinate, but now, they feel that they have done their duty." ”

Last summer, Real Madrid did think about selling Di Maria, but then considering that Di Maria's wife had just given birth to a daughter and the child was still young, Di Maria wanted to stay at Real Madrid at that time.

In fact, Real Madrid eventually agreed to keep Di Maria as well.

But now, I'm afraid the two sides are already at the end of their fate.

'Jorge, what's the situation in the transfer market right now?' Di Maria looked up, sighed, and asked.

'I've seen that there are six that can meet the Real Madrid standard, and there are three that can meet our requirements: Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, and they are all very interested in you.

After hearing this, Di Maria couldn't help frowning again, "Do you think I can adapt to the Premier League?" ”

Judging by Di Maria's physical fitness, he really doesn't fit well in the Premier League, especially in teams like Manchester United and Chelsea, which have always admired a power-based style of play.

'If it's a team like Southampton, Arsenal and Manchester City, there should be no problem.' Mendez thought for a moment and said.

These three teams are also the most continental teams in the Premier League.

Needless to say, Arsenal and Manchester City have started from Mancini to Pellegrini, and now Pellegrini has adhered to this path.

Manchester United, on the other hand, has not been able to adhere to continentalization during the Ferguson period, but has pursued the traditional style of the Red Devils.

It's even more a pity for Chelsea, the process of continentalization came to an abrupt halt when Villas-Boas, and both Benitez and Mourinho are going back to the British style of play of the past.

"Manchester United and Chelsea, they can't play in the Champions League this season, right?" Di Maria asked again.

Mendes nodded: "Yes, even, the new season may not be able to grab a place in the Champions League next season!" ”

Speaking of this, Mendes also sighed.

In today's Premier League, the competition is too fierce.

"PSG have always been interested in you, and they are willing to meet our salary requirements and packages, and they can play in the Champions League, it's just ......"

Mendes has something to say, and it's hard to say.

Paris Saint-Germain is certainly wealthy, but in the end, it is the French league, and it cannot compete with leagues such as the Premier League and La Liga in a short period of time.

This is also the reason why those stars who are on the rise are generally reluctant to play in Ligue 1.

Di Maria also has a headache, even Falcao is trying to leave Ligue 1, but he wants to go?

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain brought in Ibrahimovic from Southampton this season, and even if he switched to Paris Saint-Germain, he could not become the star of the house, but had to become Ibrahimovic's deputy.

From this point of view, where to choose to go, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Thinking of this, Di Maria sighed deeply, "Jorge, what do you think?" ”

"Me?" Mendes smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I also have a headache, however, I think that if you look at the overall strength of the club and the impact on the players, Southampton should be the most suitable, but the Saints squad is bound to lead to fierce internal competition, and their salary structure may not be able to meet our requirements." ”

"Paris Saint-Germain is also very strong overall, but it is difficult to make a difference in Europe, and limited by the level of the league, and the overall environment, I think these are not as good as Southampton, but they should have an advantage over Southampton in terms of personal treatment."

"Manchester United and Chelsea are both facing a squad reshuffle, what the future holds, no one can say, such a transfer, very risky, and even possible ......"

In fact, Mendes' analysis has basically taken into account all aspects of the transfer.

Manchester United and Chelsea should be the last choice, with Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain being the real competitives.

Both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on which aspect Di Maria values more.

If he attaches more importance to personal treatment and also wants a relaxed playing environment, then Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 should be a good choice.

At the very least, PSG can guarantee the core main position.

But if he wants to go further in his career and win more accolades, then he should undoubtedly choose Southampton.

Because, the current Saints, is definitely one of the strongest teams in Europe!
