Chapter 95 Half ownership

After talking about Piri, Jose's next thing would be even more convenient.

When Jose and Piri came to the door together, Etoo agreed to join Mallorca without thinking much. One was the coach who helped him find a confident one last season, and the other was the mentor who brought him from Africa to Mallorca. These two people invited him together. Not to mention that Etoo is doing so miserably in Real Madrid now, even if he is doing well, he may have the idea of ​​transfer.

The next negotiations with Real Madrid were Jose. When Real Madrid knew that Mallorca was interested in Etoo again, they also wanted to start this business. After all, Etoo does not have a chance in Real Madrid. Instead of being on the bench, it is better to get some other resources and income.

The person in charge of negotiating with Jose is Valdano, the newly appointed technical director of Real Madrid, the former Argentina national team superstar, and the killer in front of Maradona - but in Jose's opinion, Valdano is much easier to deal with than Piri...

You know, ten years later, the other Jose defeated in Real Madrid's senior struggle was also Valdano - Jose thought this was a good sign.

"Mallorca and Real Madrid are not unfamiliar. I think all the details of the loan will be based on last season." Bardano said to Jose with a smile: "Mr. Jose, what do you think?"

"Want to let us continue to train players for free? Impossible, sir."

Jose said in his heart, then smiled and shook his head: "No, Mr. Bardano, I came this time because I hope to introduce Etoo, not lend Etoo."

"Transfer? Sorry, we don't have this plan now. Etoo is still very young. We are optimistic that he will be a powerful supplement to Real Madrid's future striker." Bardano shook his head. Although no one in the club is optimistic about Etoo, it is obvious that Etoo's characteristics are more suitable for counterattacks. After Real Madrid introduced Figo this season, they rely on smooth attacks. This is also why Bosque placed Etoo on the bench with only three full-time strikers in the team. Florentino doesn't like Etoo, the player brought by Sans's direct line, Piri, is certainly a reason, but also a reason in tactics.

However, the matter of asking for a lot of prices, paying back the money on the spot, and transfer negotiations will not be as straightforward as Jose and Hill said before.

"I don't think Etoo is an important player in Real Madrid in the future. No team can make a promising future star who only comes on as a substitute twice in half a season... Mr. Bardano, IMHO, it's hard for Etooo to find a position in Real Madrid. His characteristics themselves are inconsistent with Real Madrid. Continuing to leave them will only make him moldy. He is almost twenty years old. What he needs is not training and learning around the stars, but real games."

Obviously, Jose's words were not enough to impress Valdano. What he cared about was how much benefits Real Madrid could get from Etoo, rather than what Etoo himself had for his future.

"A player who is in the first team but always can't play the main player and has already started to be dissatisfied has no positive impact on the team. Such a player is better than not - because he will have a negative impact. Real Madrid's task this season is very heavy, and any negative factors will have a huge impact on Real Madrid. Leaving Etoo is nothing more than a replacement candidate when Raul and Morientes are injured, but there are not many forwards in Real Madrid's youth team, such as Portillo who scores goals... A safe substitute is much better than a restless substitute, not to mention that for Etoo, Real Madrid will also receive a transfer fee as compensation. As for Mallorca, what you need now is to supplement the strength of the striker. Tristan has left, and we need a player who can score goals." Jose continued without discouragement.

These words really touched Valdano. As Florentino's direct descendant, Valdano naturally knew that Real Madrid's financial situation is very bad now. Under Sans's management, Real Madrid's debt has exceeded 100 million US dollars. In terms of business skills, Sans is not particularly outstanding, and like his name, he is a very lost guy. When he was in the position of Real Madrid's chairman, he often took the club's money to the casino and went to the casino for ease. After losing, he came back to the club to reimburse the club. The purpose was "diplomatic"

", these diplomatic expenses of millions of dollars often put Real Madrid's economy under tremendous pressure, and it is almost at a loss for money. After taking office, Florentino used a lot of money to buy stars such as Figo. While strengthening his strength, it also made Real Madrid's economy even worse. Now Florentino is negotiating with the city government, intending to use Real Madrid's training base to exchange for funds to fill the deficit. Before that, if some profits can be obtained from Etoo, there will be no small compensation.

What's more, Valdano knew that Florentino was not very stable when he came to power. He only defeated Sanz in the election. Although he introduced Figo as promised to stabilize his position, selling Redondo made most Real Madrid fans dissatisfied with Florentino. The only way is to win the league championship that has been away for three years to stabilize Florentino's position. As Florentino's confidant, only Florentino's position can be more stable, Valdano's position as a technical director can be more stable. You must know that whether it is the contribution of players to Real Madrid or the ability as a club manager, Piri is above Valdano, and Valdano is well aware of this.

"I think I need to talk to the Chairman about this matter." After thinking about it, Bardano said seriously to Jose.

"It should be." Jose nodded with a smile.

Bardano's movements were quick, and he quickly got Florentino's instructions, then referred to Bosque's opinions and finally came up with a new result.

"We agree to Etoo's transfer, but there is an additional request," Bardano told Jose.

"Please say it." Jose nodded.

"We only sell half of Etoo's ownership, and we have the right to repurchase half of ownership first." Bardano said that this one was Bosquega. He knew Etoo's potential and knew that Real Madrid had no chance to train him now. However, as a head coach, he naturally thought of the best of both worlds - selling half of the ownership is more appropriate. In terms of financial resources, Mallorca cannot be compared with Real Madrid.

"It's true that this trick is another trick. Why isn't this fucking half-ownership regulations abolished?" Jose cursed in his heart. He naturally knew that Real Madrid's attitude towards Etoo has always been ambiguous. Without him, he has refused to give up Etoo's ownership. He let Etoo stay in Mallorca for four years but has shared it with Real Madrid. It was not until the Spanish Football Association abolished the half-ownership regulations in the summer of 2004 that Real Madrid was forced to sell Etoo to Barcelona in the unexpected situation.

Mallorca could not afford Etoo's remaining ownership, while Real Madrid could not buy Etoo's half ownership - because their non-EU quota was already full at that time. In the end, when Barcelona bid against both sides, Real Madrid and Mallorca could only accept Barcelona's bid, which caused Real Madrid and Mallorca to suffer a big loss. Real Madrid lost a top striker, while Mallorca lost money - with Etoo's value at that time, it was definitely more than 25 million euros.

Now that Real Madrid has made this move again, Jose is still unwilling to do so. He hates such a swaying thing the most. In his opinion, players should play for the club with peace of mind. Now half of them are from this family and half of them are from that family. How can they play well?

But now it seems that this kind of requirement can only be accepted, but Jose will try every means to avoid the future outcome.

"Half ownership? It's barely acceptable, but I hope to add additional conditions," Jose said to Bardano after thinking about it.

"Oh? Please say it."

In Bardano's view, Jose simply wanted to bargain on price, but what Jose made was not a price requirement.

"Half ownership only lasts for two years. If both sides want Etoo after two years, they will adopt a sealed bidding method, and whoever has the higher price will get it. If Real Madrid doesn't want it, then Mallorca has the right to buy it first. As for how much Etoo is worth at that time, then negotiate." Jose put forward his own demand: "We also need to guarantee the interests of Mallorca. It is impossible to train for two years in vain. When Real Madrid wants it, we also need to make our investment rewards. If we don't want it, we will not let Real Madrid suffer."

It was Bardano's turn to consider it now, and Jose's words made sense. After all, no one hoped that his interests would be damaged, and the attached conditions proposed were fair to both parties, at least the interests of both parties can be guaranteed to a large extent.

As for two years... Etoo is almost twenty-two years old in two years. For a striker, this age should be the time to achieve results. If Real Madrid still looks down on him, there is no need to stay. As for whether it will break out after the age of twenty-five, this is too far away. No one will worry about a player for so many years.

Bardano said that he asked Jose to wait a moment, and he still needed to ask Florentino and discuss with Bosque. After all, Etoo is also a member of Mallorca's current first-team. It is not that Bardano's power is not strong enough, but that such a transfer cannot be decided by one or two people. Like Stankovic was sold without Alemani's knowledge before, it was simply a joke.

Jose expressed his understanding, so Bardano walked into the inner room and called to inquire. He did not ask Jose to wait for long. He quickly walked out and agreed to Mallorca's request.

The next specific transfer fee operation is naturally not necessary for people of their level to come forward. For details, there are face-to-face conversations between the following people. In some major aspects, the negotiation is just a matter of the details of the negotiation.

It took only one day to get a relatively satisfactory result - Mallorca acquired half of the ownership of Real Madrid's Cameroon striker Samuel Etoo for a transfer fee of $4.5 million. Etoo will play in Mallorca within the next two years, and the salary will be paid by Mallorca. Two years later, if both parties want to introduce this player, they will decide on Etoo's ownership by sealing the bid. If one party wants to transfer half of Etoo's ownership, the other party will have priority refusal, and the price must not be higher than 10 million US dollars.

What surprised Valdano was that the last one was proposed by Jose. In his opinion, this rule should be more beneficial to Real Madrid. Could it be that Jose is sure that he can buy Etoo for no more than 10 million US dollars in two years?

But it doesn't matter if you think about it. This rule should be more beneficial to Real Madrid. If Mallorca doesn't want it, it can be reclaimed with 10 million. If Real Madrid doesn't want it, it can also get nearly 15 million US dollars in Etoo. As for both sides want it, Real Madrid will also have the advantage of sealed bidding...

The negotiations with Etoo himself went smoother next. Etoo basically signed the contract without thinking much, and then prepared to go to Mallorca to gather with the whole team immediately...
