200 million US dollars, Daniel Levy has no reason to refuse.In fact, in the past two years, Daniel Levy has even begun to have some regrets, regretting entering South American football hastily.Because after investing in the Colo Colo club, I haven't seen any money back, and I haven't trained any useful players for Tottenham.The investment has tens of millions of euros, but has not received any benefits.

Now that there is a club that wants to buy Fernandez for US$200 million, of course it is a good thing that cannot be better.At the beginning, Daniel Levy invested in the Colo Colo Club to bring Tottenham a player training base.But after these years, Daniel Levy understood that the investment of the Colo Colo club was too blind.Fortunately, with this transfer, Daniel Levy is more satisfied.

"Rist, there are still 200 million US dollars in transfers in South American football."

After meeting Daniel Levy, Rist met Frank Arneson.Arnesen was amazed that such a transfer could still happen within South American football.If the South American giants have such financial resources, they will not allow European clubs to poach the main players of the South American giants at will.Because spending $200 million to buy a 19-year-old player, even the European giants will be cautious.

Moreover, the economy in South America has been bad in recent years, and South American football has also been affected.As a result, the value of South American players has plummeted. Once it is too expensive to buy players in South American football, they will make a loss-making deal at that time.

"It's nothing. Corinthians have already done another transfer, $500 million for Carlos Tevez from Boca."

"Five million dollars?"

Arneson shook his head.Of course, Arnesen was not surprised by this amount of money. Among the players he sold when he was in Eindhoven, there were transfer fees exceeding 3000 million euros.However, South American football has been in decline for a long time in the past ten years, and they even have the courage to spend 500 million US dollars.Arnesen also knew that Tevez was a well-known talented player in Argentine and even South American football.

If a European club buys Tevez, the transfer fee may be at this level.I didn't expect Corinthians to be able to spend so much money. Is Corinthians rich?Whether the Brazilian giants or the Argentine giants have money.

"Frank, you may not have paid attention to Corinthians. The investor in Corinthians this time is Kia Hobrachin, an Englishman with Iranian nationality. His company is in London, called MSI Company. Don't worry about this company. It seems that he is not well-known, but the boss behind him is not a small person. Do you know who it is?"

The current msi company has just entered Corinthians.And there is no reputation in European football.And Hobrachin was even more so, Arnesen did not know Hobrachin.Recently, Arnesen was only busy with Tottenham's affairs and did not pay attention to this issue.So he is not very familiar with msi company.

"Who?"

"Berezovsky, Abramovich."

"Berezovsky? Abramovich?"

Arneson was taken aback.When he first heard about MSI, Arnesen really didn't have much impression.Unexpectedly, there was such an oligarch behind him.

Berezovsky and Abramovich are well-known in Europe because of the lawsuit.Needless to say, Abramovich has spent about [-] million pounds in the two years since he came to Chelsea.And Berezovsky, as the former boss of Abramovich, is also well-known.Both of them are super rich worth billions of pounds. I didn't expect the two of them to be shareholders of this company.

"Think about it, they are shareholders. MSI's financial strength is conceivable."

"Is it money laundering?"

Arneson immediately thought of this.Not to mention Corinthians.Even Chelsea are now spending a lot of money.Some people also suspect that money laundering is behind it.Lister shrugged.Then he smiled and said: "I don't care if they launder money or not. As long as you give the club enough transfer fees, give me enough commissions, and give my players enough salaries, money laundering has nothing to do with me. I'm just an agent. The group has nothing to do with it."

"Yep."

Arneson nodded.Rist is just a broker, how Hobrachin laundered money has nothing to do with Rist.

"Rist, is this a Chelsea strategy. Chelsea want to use Corinthians to collect talent in South America."

Arnesen was a little worried.Chelsea's current strength can be seen, Chelsea is quite strong this season.Strong enough to pull down No.2 Arsenal, who was the Premier League champion last season, by more than ten points, and it doesn't seem to be over at all.Chelsea has already entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the league championship is a certainty.Coupled with Chelsea's strong financial capabilities, Arnesen knows that no club will be able to win Chelsea in the next few years.

Arnesen's goal of entering Tottenham is not just to let Tottenham get the Champions League places.What Arnesen wants is to make Tottenham a strong team in the Premier League, a strong team that can compete for the Premier League title.Chelsea are too strong.Not the slightest bit good for his future strategy.

"That's how it started."

As expected, Arnesen was a smart person, and immediately thought of issues related to himself.Rist did not hide it, and said directly: "There is indeed a reason for Hobrachin's entry into Brazilian football. Abramovich has a strategy for this aspect. It is a pity that Berezovsky and Abramovich The two fell out, and Hobrachin chose Berezovsky."

"Good. Great."

Arnesen couldn't help but patted his thigh.The tremendous pressure that had just been placed on him disappeared in an instant.If Chelsea has a dedicated channel for South America, then Chelsea will be even more powerful.

"Okay, don't talk about it. Rist is looking for you today because of Villarreal's Hleb and Arshavin. Now that Villarreal has been eliminated in the Champions League, I think it should be early Get those two transfers done."

Arnesen is more anxious.Because Villarreal has performed very well in La Liga and the Champions League this season, many Villarreal players have begun to receive great attention.Many giants have also begun to pay attention to Hleb and Arshavin.

Speaking of which, Tottenham have no advantage.Tottenham have played in the Champions League once in history, and next season will enter the Champions League for the second time.It's not as good as Villarreal has entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season.

However, Tottenham have an advantage that many strong teams in other leagues cannot match.That is money. Premier League clubs are generally rich, and Tottenham is one of the representatives of money.Although it is not as good as the salaries of Chelsea and Manchester United, Tottenham's salary is also high in the Premier League, and it is even higher in European football.Tottenham are capable of offering high salaries.

Riquelme currently has the highest salary in Villarreal, which is the highest salary in Villarreal.His pre-tax annual salary is only 450 million euros, and he gets less than 300 million euros after tax.But a star of Riquelme's level comes to Tottenham, so the annual salary is at least 600 million euros.What he can get in his hands will also be more than 400 million euros.

Hleb and Arshavin are doing very well, but Villarreal is a small club after all.Their current annual salary in Villarreal is only around 200 million euros.What I got was just over 100 million euros.But once he transfers to Tottenham, although Riester is still unclear, he can also imagine that he should have an annual salary of around 400 million euros at least.If their agent negotiates better, 450 million euros is not out of the question.

Of course, there is a reason why Tottenham can offer such a high salary.The first is that the British pound is very valuable now, and the second is that the Premier League clubs are very rich.And Tottenham even more so.Being in the London club already has a high income, and the owner of Tottenham is even a rich man worth more than 20 billion pounds.

Money, money is everything.What's the use of Villarreal being better than Tottenham? What's the use of many strong teams in other leagues doing better than Tottenham.Tottenham can now get a place in the Champions League, and they can also pay a higher salary. This alone can attract many players.

"Frank. I spoke to Mr. Roig. There is no problem with the transfer. But Villarreal is not short of money. They will not agree without a sufficient transfer fee."

In other words, the broker is an errand runner.After Arneson became interested in Hleb and Arshavin, he first met with their agents.Show what Tottenham mean and tell them how much they are willing to pay them.When the agents of Hleb and Arshavin agreed to join Tottenham, Arnesen approached Rist.

Arnesen has not had direct contact with Villarreal.Instead it was contacted through Rist and Villarreal.In fact, most transfers are like this.When those clubs buy players, they seldom have direct contact with them.Instead there will be an intermediary who helps the two clubs get in touch.If the talks are not good, there is room for maneuver.There are even some agents who do not have players under their hands, so they only do this kind of intermediary business among clubs.Arneson approached Rist because Rist was the best fit for the job.

Rist spoke to Fernando Roig, and what he meant was simple.No matter how good the results of Villarreal are, Villarreal is just a small club after all.Villarreal is a small city, not as developed as Tottenham, and not as good as Tottenham's salary.Hleb and Arshavin only need to transfer.The salary will be doubled.Therefore, they must prefer a strong London team like Tottenham.

But as one of the successors of the Roig family, Fernando Roig, who is making a lot of money by relying on ceramic toilets, is not short of money.What Roig means is very simple, there is no problem in buying Hleb and Arshavin.Just give money.

"Hehe. Rist, Tottenham are not short of money. Of course, unnecessary money will not be given, but the money that should be given is a lot."

Arneson nodded.Villarreal are now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.Ranked second in La Liga, of course he is qualified to be reserved.In addition, Fernando Roeg is indeed a character who does not lack money.

"Okay, Frank, that's easy."

Although neither Hleb nor Arshavin were players of Rist, when they entered Villarreal, they were completely brought in by Rist.At that time, Rist and Villarreal had a contract. If Villarreal achieved any results, Rist would have a share of the benefits.In addition, when they transferred, Rist's share was included in the transfer fee.

Of course, Villarreal is not Extremadura, and it is impossible for Rist to ask for too high a share.Rist will only have 5.00% share at that time, but this share is enough for Rist to work hard.

"You're negotiating on behalf of Villarreal?"

"kindness."

Rister nodded.Although Rist does not hold any position in Villarreal, he can sometimes negotiate on their behalf.This time, Rist received an entrustment from Fernando Roig to discuss the transfer of these two players on behalf of Villarreal.

"Rist, I really hate agents who negotiate on behalf of clubs."

Arneson is outspoken.In fact, the transfer of players should be a matter between the two clubs.But the reality is that when a player transfers, the player's agent, the club's well-connected agent, the club's sports director, and the club's head coach have to intervene. All interventions are for the benefit.In this way, when a player transfers, the additional expenditure is more than 20.00% of the transfer fee.

"Frank, there's no way. Who told everyone to play like this."
