Chapter 1004 Package Price
The airport in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is small.
When Mendes walked out of the airport with a depressed face, he could easily see a reception driver holding up high with his name and card written on it, but what embarrassed him was that he even wrote the name wrong.
The Portuguese looked back at the Eastern European airport in depression and sighed helplessly.
Brother, if you cheat me, I will fight you!
I walked to the driver, took the initiative to report my name, and soon got into the reception car and headed towards the north of Zagreb city.
The airport is in the south, while the stadium in Dynamo Zagreb is in the north, with training bases and offices around the stadium.
This allowed Mendes to pass through the city of Zagreb and appreciate the alternative scenery of this Eastern European city. However, the bumpy journey of the long distance made Mendes not interested. He closed his eyes and rested, just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, letting the driver carry it, without worrying about being cheated, and came all the way to Maximier Stadium.
He received a call from Gao Han last night and was very anxious.
On the phone, Gao Han told him that he had fallen in love with two players in Dynamo Zagreb, but it was difficult to come forward in person. Mendes needed to run for him, and the faster the better.
"Believe me, these two players are definitely worth your trip."
In this way, without any player information or any player information, Mendes took the first flight to Munich at around 7 o'clock in the morning.
It was around seven o'clock.
For countless people living in Madrid, they just fell asleep at around seven o'clock, but he had to travel a long distance.
What's even more terrible is that Madrid did not have a direct flight to Zagreb, so he had to stay in Munich for an hour. After nearly five hours of tossing, he arrived in Zagreb.
As long as he thought about going back, he felt like a big head.
But there is no way, who made him live a life of hard work?
Arriving at Maximier Stadium, Mendes was immediately welcomed into the club's office by the reception staff.
Zdravko Mamic, the chairman of Dynamo Zagreb, has already come out, and standing next to him is his younger brother Zoran Mamic, the current football director of Dynamo Zagreb. He has played for Dynamo Zagreb, Bochum, Leverkusen and other teams, and has been selected for the Croatian national team many times.
What’s interesting is that these two brothers seem to be nearly twenty years old.
The two brothers run Croatia's largest ASA brokerage company and have had many contacts with Mendes. They dare not be negligent about this world's leading brokerage tycoon. They were extremely polite as soon as they met and welcomed Mendes into the office.
After a polite greeting, each other quickly got to the point.
"Jorge, you are here this time, don't you know what's wrong?" Zdravko Mamic asked with a smile.
No matter why Mendes comes from, if he can get in touch with this world's top agent, it will be a godsend for ASA and Dynamo Zagreb. Everyone knows that Mendes is best at operating South American players.
"Then I'll get straight to the point." Mendes was not polite either. "I came here this time just to talk to you. I have a client who likes your players."
"Oh?" Zdravko Mamich paused, but there was no surprise on his face, "Who?"
"Mateo Kovacic and Harilovic, two."
As soon as Mendes finished speaking, the Mamichi brothers were a little surprised.
It is normal to talk about Kovacic, because many giant teams, including Arsenal, have liked him, and it is not surprising that Mendes comes to the door, but Harilovic is not very famous. He has just been promoted to the first team this season, and he is not the main player. Even if he wants to become famous, he will not be so fast.
Not to mention that it was a bit interesting to start Mendes himself.
"Jorge, I don't know which team it is?" Zoran Mamichi asked with concern.
Mendes smiled again, "Sorry, before further development, I can only reveal at most that my clients are from La Liga, and they are very sincere and have enough financial resources to pay the transfer fees of these two players. And I can guarantee that my clients have the most outstanding reputation in European football."
As a broker, Mendes knew very well that the most reassuring thing about cross-border transactions is often the payment method.
Some clubs that are familiar to fans do have a very bad reputation in buying people. It is understandable to be petty during negotiations, but after the negotiations, they have repeatedly delayed their promises to themselves, and some even just lie to them. This behavior is a bit shameful.
But the agent industry has its own rules. Even if it doesn't like some teams, it cannot be made public. Otherwise, don't expect to make a living in this industry.
For the Mamichi brothers, the transfer of players to La Liga is good for them. This will not only bring them a generous transfer income, but also make Dynamo Zagreb famous in Croatia and neighboring countries. Mendes personally endorses it shows that the opponent's club is trustworthy.
In La Liga, there are not many clubs that have a reputation.
Barcelona is pretty good, after all, it is a big team. Real Madrid was bad during Calderon's period, but it was good during Florentino's period, Atletico Madrid was also good, and Valencia and Sevilla were okay.
Oh, by the way, there is Chinatown. This team has the reputation of the top European football world, not to mention La Liga.
"Ok, Jorge, you said that, then we have nothing to worry about." Zdravko Mamic laughed, "I'm going to hide it from you. There are many teams who are interested in Matteo Kovacic, and you must be very clear."
"I know, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Chelsea...a lot."
The Mamich brothers looked at each other secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little more impressed by Mendes.
After all, he is the world's top agent and is well-deserved. At least his intelligence skills are also awesome.
"Okay, since that's the case, that's all. You know the operation of our club and the players, we will definitely sell it, but I don't know what price the club can be entrusted to?"
The Mamich brothers stared at Mendes and waited for him to offer the bid code.
"Ten million euros." Mendes replied seriously.
Both the Mamichi brothers frowned and looked at each other. Zoran Mamichi asked, "Is this Kovacic's offer?"
"No, the two players pack the price." Mendes replied.
"This is impossible." Zdravko Mamic shook his head without hesitation, "Kovacic is worth this price now. Wouldn't Karilovic be given for free?"
Judging from their tone, the two players looked like cabbage in their eyes.
If Gao Han came, he would probably be a little uncomfortable, but Mendes had already gotten used to it, and this was the player's trading transfer.
"I know the current market, but what I'm talking about is 10 million euros..." Mendes paused and looked directly at the Mamich brothers, "...it's cash, a one-time payment."
The Mamichi brothers were immediately moved.
This is indeed a very attractive price, although not high, but very attractive.
When many ordinary fans talk about transfers, they often only care about the transfer fee, but they don’t know that the payment method is also extremely important. It is also 10 million euros, and it is paid in one lump sum and three years. These are two completely different prices, not to mention that some clubs use it up and directly lose the final payment.
According to the common transfer method in European football, transfers are generally paid in installments within two or three years. Only special teams like Chinatown are eligible to require buyers to pay the remaining amount within one year. Moreover, in the past two or three years, Chinatown buyers have basically given cash and tried to negotiate the total price.
"If I'm not wrong, Jorge, the one who entrusted you to come to Chinatown, right?" Zdravko Mamic suddenly woke up. Only the tall and cold Chinatown could convince Mendes to come to the door in person.
Last night, at the Maximier Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain led by Gao Han had just defeated Dynamo Zagreb 2-0 away. The Mamic brothers went to meet Gao Han and chatted for a while, but Gao Han didn't reveal any words at that time.
"This has nothing to do with Gao Han, it was Cantalero's commission." Mendes explained.
If someone knows that Gao Han is choosing, then the value of any player will soar.
The Mamichi brothers couldn't tell whether Mendes's words were true or false, because there were indeed many teams who were interested in Kovacic, and it was not surprising that Chinatown was interested, not to mention that this offer was indeed very tempting.
"Don't rush to express your opinion first, Chinatown has the conditions."
"Condition?" The Mamichi brothers were shocked again.
They found that facing Mendes really made them feel a little out of control.
"Chinatown has arranged for people to visit Kovacic and Kalilovic. Both players are still very young. It is undoubtedly not the time to leave Dynamo Zagreb. Chinatown hopes that after the transfer, these two players can continue to play in Dynamo Zagreb on loan."
"This period may be two years or three years, and all the salary will be borne by Chinatown, but Dynamo Zagreb must ensure the players' chances of playing games and provide the players with protection measures to the best of their ability. Chinatown will arrange personnel to follow up and understand the players' situation at any time, and will invite them to participate in Chinatown's training camp at the appropriate time."
Such cooperation is new, but it is not surprising that some giant teams operate in this way, such as Manchester United.
The difference is that Manchester United usually cooperates with satellite clubs.
"Jorge, you should know the rules, we..."
Before Zoran Mamichi finished speaking, Mendes waved his hand and smiled.
"Of course, Chinatown will not let you suffer any losses. In addition to paying the players' salaries, they will also pay an additional training fee to Dynamo Zagreb every year. According to the players' growth and progress, as well as other assessments including injuries, the total cost will reach 5 million euros."
The Mamichi brothers looked at each other again and explored the opinions in each other's eyes. This is the first time for them to cooperate. It is very fresh, but also very attractive. After all, Kovacic is the team's most competitive player at present.
If they cooperate in the way of Chinatown, they can still use the player after selling them. Not only that, they can also get a training fee every year. This may be insignificant for Chinatown, but it is very attractive to Dynamo Zagreb.
They are a team that survives by millions of euros in Champions League appearances every year. The income of five million euros in three years will definitely make them tempted, not to mention that for them, this cooperation hardly affects the current situation of the team.
As for Chinatown, Gao Han hopes to see Kovacic and Harilovic maintain their current development momentum and continue to grow and progress. In two or three years, it will be more appropriate to transfer to Chinatown when they mature and stabilize.
After all, Chinatown is full of talents now, Kovacic has gone,
