184: Mr. 95 million is about to be born
Turin, Italy, a five-star hotel, a certain general manager. In the traditional suite.
Several grown men gathered here secretly.
The most eye-catching one is the fat man in black sunglasses with a big belly. Even if he is nestled on the sofa, his big belly cannot be hidden.
If Tong Yi were here, he would be able to recognize this big fat man at a glance.
This big fat man is none other than Mino Raiola, a well-known agent in football.
Raiola really likes sunglasses and wears them even in the room. .??.
Is this guy trying to prevent others from reading his truest thoughts from his eyes?
Raiola immediately asked, "Giuseppe, why did you call me to Turin?"
The bald old man in a black suit opposite Raiola looks like a mafia boss.
But Raiola knew very well that the man in front of him was not a mafia boss, but a boss in Italian football-Giuseppe Marotta.
Marotta is also a legend.
He was born in 1957. He has been fond of football since he was a child. When he was still in elementary school, he would stand by his window after school every day and watch the training and games of his hometown team Varese in the opposite stadium.
Marotta has been working as a football-related staff member since he was a child, either as a player, a football reporter, a football manager, etc. In order to achieve this goal, one day he finally plucked up the courage and found a warehouse keeper named Angelino at the club and said, "Can I go in and watch the team train?"
The custodian thought for a moment, and then said, "Are you serious? Okay, but you have to clean my sneakers!"
So Marotta got his first job in life, shining sneakers.
During this time, he went to the team to clean sneakers and wrote football reviews for newspapers. Later, the article he wrote impressed the Varese club coach Maluso, and then he became the person in charge of the Varese youth team while he was still in high school.
At the age of 19, he became the manager of the club, and at the age of 25, he became the owner of Varese Club. seats.
It can be said that he became famous at a young age.
This experience is even more legendary than Tong Yi's experience.
Since then, Marotta has moved to major clubs in Italian football, serving as club general manager in Serie A Atalanta and Sampdoria. Until June 2010, the new owner of Serie A giant Juventus. When Andrea Ranieri came to power, he was invited by Ranieri to come to Juventus and began to serve as the general manager and CEO of the Juventus club.
This Marotta can be described as a real Italian football boss.
Baldini, the current general manager of Roma, was once a player under Marotta.
Looking at the big boss in front of him, Raiola's expression was still very calm.
You are a big shot in Italian football, and I am also a big shot in football agency.
Marotta looked at Raiola. Naturally, he knew that the guy in front of him was not easy to get along with. After all, Raiola has been active in Italian football for almost all these years, and the opponent is also very energetic in Italian football. of.
Marotta said, "Milo, we called you to Turin, naturally for the players' matters."
Marotta did not beat around the bush, he went straight to the point and spoke directly.
Raiola immediately said, "You Juventus are interested in my players again? Who is it? You don't want to welcome Zlatan back, do you?"
Ibrahimovic has also had interactions with Juventus. If Juventus had not been ordered to be relegated in the Calciopoli, he would not have left Juventus.
Marotta immediately shook his head and said, "Zlatan is indeed very good, but he is old! You know, he is not the player we are interested in now!"
Raiola smiled slightly and said nothing.
Marotta frowned slightly, and the handsome old man with gray hair next to Marotta suddenly said, "Milo, don't talk in circles with us. Tell us what it takes for Pogba to come to our Juventus."
Raiola looked at Marotta's assistant, Fabio Paratici.
To be honest, Raiola also knows this guy.
Paratici was called Marotta's right-hand man by the Italian football media. When he was at Sampdoria, he was Marotta's deputy. It can be seen that Marotta values him very much. As soon as Marotta came to Juventus, he directly brought Paratici to Juventus.
Paratici is still Marotta's assistant and is the manager and sporting director of Juventus.
These two plus Andrea Ranieri are now the Big Three of Juventus.
Today, two of the Big Three came to see him. It can be seen that Juventus still attaches great importance to him. In other words, Juventus is bound to win Pogba.
If Tong Yi were here, he would be able to recognize Paratici at a glance.
This man will also be famous in later generations.
He began to be called "spy football director", "undercover football manager" and so on.
The reason is that after leaving Juventus, this guy served as the football manager of Tottenham. After coming to Tottenham, he helped introduce young players Kulusevski and Bentancur from Juventus.
These two were two of the three "big smart" players regarded by Juventus fans and the media at the time.
At that time, Kulusevski, who was only 21 years old, played 74 games for Juventus and only scored 9 goals and 9 assists. As a forward, his efficiency in creating goals was too low, and with Kulusevski's reputation Rusevski
Judging from his abilities, he has no speed, no body, and very rough skills at his feet. He cannot even be called the "beggar version of Robben".
For such a player, Paratici actually spent 45 million euros to introduce him, which is simply a waste product at a high price.
The 24-year-old Bentancur is also a player who thinks he can be embarrassed. He plays as an attacking midfielder and has no overall view of the situation. He cannot deliver any threatening balls. When playing as a defensive midfielder, his physical fitness is too poor and he has no defensive ability. He can be called a colander. . More importantly, he often short-circuited his brain on the court and passed the ball back to the goalkeeper and defender, resulting in conceding the ball.
He played 181 games for Juventus and only had 3 goals and 18 assists. His efficiency was very impressive.
However, after Paratici came to Tottenham Hotspur, he also spent 20 million euros to introduce him.
In other words, Paratici spent 65 million euros to bring you this "big smart" player to Tottenham Hotspur.
This makes Juventus fans praise Paratici. He still cares about his old club after leaving the team and recycles the old club's scrap players at a high price. He is really too loyal.
There were even rumors later that Paratici would also introduce Rabiot, the third of Juventus' three "big smart" players, and he also wanted to take this to Tottenham Hotspur.
This is what makes fans of Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur start to wonder whether Paratici is still playing for Juventus after leaving Juventus and joining Tottenham Hotspur. Specifically helping Juventus dispose of these "waste players" at a high price.
There are even rumors that Paratici will continue to introduce some fringe players from Juventus and continue to collect scraps.
This made Tottenham Hotspur fans exclaim that they had been tricked.
Paratici's reputation as the legendary "undercover director" of football spread like wildfire around the world.
Now fans all over the world know that football has such an "undercover director".
Of course, his legendary undercover journey has not yet begun. He has just arrived at Juventus.
Raiola said directly, "Why did you, Juventus, take a fancy to Paul? At the beginning, you were not even willing to give him any guarantee of playing time."
Yes, it was you, Juventus, who were unwilling to guarantee Pogba in the first place.
If you had agreed, wouldn't Pogba be your Juventus player? Why bother doing this now?
Hearing this, Marotta and Paratici both frowned slightly.
To be honest, they actually regretted it. They should have agreed to Raiola's request from the beginning. In this case, Pogba would be their player.
The little guy Pogba has performed very well in Crystal Palace this season. He has scored 15 goals in all competitions and provided nearly 20 assists, which is very impressive. And Juventus
Staff at Stade are also very optimistic about Pogba's ability and potential, so they decided to introduce Pogba.
They even regretted it a little. If they had made up their minds a year ago, they would not have done this again.
Marotta looked at Raiola and said directly, "Let's be honest, how much commission do you need?"
Raiola was shocked when he heard this. It seems that Juventus is really determined to introduce Pogba.
To be honest, if Juventus can guarantee Pogba's main position, joining Juventus will be a good thing for Pogba.
And Pogba also yearns for a wealthy family.
What's more important is that Raiola can earn a large amount of commissions.
Therefore, Raiola is actually leaning towards Juventus now. But when he thought about the inhuman existence of Tong Yi, he hesitated, because Tong Yi's vision for discovering young geniuses was really amazing. He is still thinking about cooperating with Tong Yi. If Tong Yi is annoyed by letting Pogba switch to other teams, this will have a huge impact on his future!
However, Raiola can now see that Tong Yi probably has no intention of cooperating with him. Therefore, since it is impossible for the two to cooperate, taking Pogba away will not have much impact on Raiola's interests, and he can even earn a considerable commission. As for offending Tong Yi, you are not willing to cooperate with me anyway, so what does it matter if I offend you?
Therefore, Raiola is a little confused now.
Should Pogba be moved to Juventus?
this is a problem.
Looking at Raiola who was deep in thought, Marotta and Paratici looked at each other in surprise.
What is the reason why Raiola remains indifferent and ponders over the huge commission?
They were frightened and curious.
Suddenly, Raiola said, "Let's not talk about the commission. I want to know how much transfer fee you are willing to pay for Paul? You need to know that Tong Yi will definitely not sell Paul. There is only one way for you to take Paul away. , that means paying liquidated damages!”
Paratici immediately asked, "What is Pogba's liquidated damages?"
Raiola immediately said, "Paul's liquidated damages are 66 million pounds, and my commission is 20% of the transfer fee. In other words, if you really want to introduce Paul, Juventus will have to spend 7,920 pounds, which is converted into euros as a bonus." 95 million euros!”
hiss!
Hearing this, even big guys like Marotta and Paratici were shocked.
95 million euros, which is almost as much as Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Real Madrid.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling secretly unhappy. Are you treating us as Kaizi and killing us?
