Chapter five hundred and ninetieth

~Date: ~October 07~

,nbsp;

((After finalizing Vidic's contract, Jose left Russia, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he did not fly back to Spain directly, but came to Portugal, which is on the Iberian Peninsula with Spain. Here, there is a central defender waiting for him to dig. Although he is still a non-EU player, he will be able to obtain Portugal's nationality in a year and use it to visit this site.

This person is of course Pepe, the pillar of the Portuguese national team later on the defense line.

Jose definitely won't be able to buy Pepe this year because Mallorca's non-EU places are already full, but Jose is not planning to buy Pepe again next season. Although next summer is the best time to introduce Pepe, because at that time he was able to obtain Portugal's nationality and become an EU player, this year is the best time to buy Pepe.

Because Pepe only joined Porto last year and did not get many opportunities to play this season. A central defender with mediocre performance, even if Porto had a black store, it would not be possible to shout high prices on this player. In fact, even two years later, Pepe's 30 million euros worth was very tricky. Mijatovic, who was then the transfer manager of Real Madrid, was later exposed to a scandal of taking kickbacks, which has a lot to do with Pepe's transfer. Can you imagine a 23-year-old central defender who has not been selected for any national team yet? Just like Ziglinsky's later transfer to Barcelona, ​​these two people have quite a lot of transfer tricks. Barcelona and Real Madrid's transfer managers at that time took a lot of kickbacks - but this kickback was not eaten by him alone. No matter which chairman it was, they would definitely receive benefits in the middle.

This is one of the disadvantages of member-based clubs, because when the chairman does not need to consider balance of income and expenditure. Anyway, members can contribute so much money every year, and not spending it is a waste. Therefore, there are some inexplicable transfers and wealthy people. The handlers will naturally make a lot of money, and the players are willing to go to such a wealthy family to prove their status. The agents will naturally get benefits in the middle - everyone is happy.

Jose's idea is to book Pepe this season first and let him stay in Portugal for another year, and wait until he gets Portuguese nationality next year before introducing him to Mallorca. At that time, Mallorca will have four high-level defenders, Matias, Mex, Vidic and Pepe, so the weakest link will be made up.

Of course, this is just an idea, and it has not been put into practice. Jose has already built the midfield and frontcourt quite well before. What he has to do now is just to build the backcourt.

Now that this plan is implemented, there will be a lot of trouble in Pepe's transfer. Sign Pepe this year and take him away next year - it's very simple, perfect, and smooth. However, in fact, there are big problems when it comes to doing it. Porto's management is not stupid NP or stupid game computer ie. They are a group of jing managers, a group of great people who have made Porto into a super black store that has cashed out hundreds of millions in the transfer market for ten consecutive years. Will they foolishly follow Jose's plan? What a joke!

Mallorca has made unprecedented money in the transfer market in recent years, but Mallorca will definitely not be able to make such a large amount of money in the market. The number one black store in ten years will still be Porto.

What's more, Jose is now famous, and the players he wants are basically very potential players. Jose dares to say that if he makes such a request, Porto may not agree to Pepe's transfer even if he beats him to death, and then he will promote Pepe as the main player and sell it at a higher price.

So Jose wanted to use a curved way to save the country to dig up the corner of this black store.

The first person to bear the brunt is Pepe's agent Mendes.

Jorge Mendes, a former professional player, but his talent is not very good, but this allowed him to enter the football circle smoothly - his father was a zhèngfu official, which made him start to deal with this very early. He was once a partner of the famous Brazilian agent, the godfather of Firger in Portugal. In this process, he keenly discovered that he could use the special relationship between Portugal and Brazil to discover Brazilian players earlier than his European counterparts. Then he began his career of reselling. When former Portugal's first agent Vega lost his reputation due to the stupid moves made by Figo's transfer to Real Madrid, he took advantage of the situation and immediately became the most famous agent in Portugal, holding the management rights of most players playing football in Portugal.

How powerful he is in Portugal football, it can be seen from last summer that after Porto reached the Champions League final, almost half of Porto's players joined the giants, and the agents of these people were Mendes, including Mourinho, Ferreira, Carvalho, and Deco...

When half of the main players of Porto left, he provided several players from other Portugal leagues to join Porto, including Pepe.

If you want to get Pepe smoothly, you have to start from Mendes. Although Mendes is now the underground godfather of Portuguese football, he is still far from the power he later. It will be much easier to become a partner with him now.

When Jose came to Porto, he was secretly doing nothing except calling Mendes - you should know that Mendes' phone number is not too difficult. No matter what, Mendes is also an agent in Europe, so his phone number is not a secret.

When he knew that Jose was coming to find him, Mendes was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that this would be a good opportunity. In Spain, he did not have many connections, so it was not enough to just send Deco to Portugal. Spain and Portugal are both in the Iberian Peninsula. For Mendes, whose most of his players are playing football in Portugal, multiple connections in Spain are better than anything else.

Mendes didn't know what Jose came to find him for, but he knew that this would be a good opportunity.

"Hello, Mr. Alemani."

"Mr. Mendes, I'm glad to see you."

After the two met, they didn't need to chat for a while before they got familiar with each other. Jose would not feel stage frightened in front of anyone, while Mendes was a versatile figure.

"Call me Jose." Jose said with a smile.

"Well, this is a bit awkward. After all, you know, I know another Jose." Mendes laughed, and Jose smiled. Of course he knew who Mendes was talking about.

With a few words, the two sides narrowed the distance. Although the two had never had any intersection before, Mourinho made them have a common language.

"I don't know why Jose is coming to Portugal this time? I heard that Mallorca will not make too many moves this season. Many players who want to introduce Mallorca have been rejected by you, right?" Mendes asked.

"It's not that I rejected them, but that my players are unwilling to leave." Jose replied with a smile. This is not a strange thing. Real Madrid wants to buy Alonso, but Alonso has already received a newly-published contract from Mallorca at this time. Although he might get more to Real Madrid, Alonso is unwilling to leave Mallorca. After all, Mallorca's current development prospects are quite good, and Real Madrid has also launched a tentative offer for Kaka, but after Jose offered the annual salary of 4.5 million euros, Real Madrid has retreated - now there are not too many banknotes on hand. The salary of several superstars accounts for too much of their share, and even Real Madrid will feel that they can't stand it. They are preparing to clean up Figo this season, which is a good example.

As for Barcelona, ​​they invested too much last season and this season will also look very stable. Chelsea wanted to dig Mallorca players, but Jose directly blocked the road - they beat us last season, and they still want to dig my people this season? Don't even think about it!

After the general investment last season, most clubs need to slowly digest the impact of investment last season. Chelsea is probably the only team left to spend money. However, Jose showed his stingy side and closed the door directly against Chelsea. Some of the things that happened in the two rounds of the semi-finals of the Champions League last season also made Mallorca players very angry about Chelsea, at least Torreskaka and Alonso have no favoritism for Chelsea.

"Although there will not be too many moves this season, I have to prepare for the future." Jose said with a smile: "Tell me the truth. I want to introduce your players. Pepe, who plays football in Porto, is very good. He is brave and courageous, and has a strong defense. Mallorca needs to strengthen the defense line. Such a player is indispensable."

"If you say this, Pepe's value will be higher." Mendes laughed haha. This is not entirely a compliment. Jose's current status has arrived. As long as he points to a player and says, "This kid is good!", this kid's value may have to double...

After laughing, Mendes said in confusion: "Since you want Pepe, just buy it directly. His value will not be too high. After all, he only joined Porto last year, and his value is only one million euros. His performance this year is not very good."

"That's why I chose to introduce him at this time." Jose nodded: "However, I can't make him a player in Mallorca this season, because Mallorca is now full of three non-EU places. If Pepe joins now, he will not be able to play in the game. I will not be able to join our team next year, because Pepe should be able to get Portugal's nationality at that time. I remember he came to Portugal in 2001, and staying for five years is enough to get Portugal's nationality."

"You know very much." Mendes looked at Jose in surprise. Jose smiled and said nothing. What players he wanted to introduce would naturally do his homework before.

"Then you can choose to introduce him next year. He will be an EU player by then, and you don't need to worry about this." Mendes continued.

"But I want to settle his ownership right now." Jose looked into Mendes' eyes and then said slowly.

"It's a bit difficult." Mendes frowned and said, "Now buy his ownership and join Mallorca in a year... This kind of thing is not easy to do."

"It is because it is difficult to do that I come to you." Jose laughed: "Otherwise, do you need to work on other things, the underground godfather of Portuguese football?"
