When Gao Xiaodong convened his team to discuss where to stay next season, Real Madrid manager Valdano was in Mendes’ Guadefoot agency to discuss the details of Mourinho’s leadership of Real Madrid. .

Mourinho and Real Madrid have basically reached an agreement, discussing only the details of the contract, in this kind of pretentious occasion, of course Florentino and Mourinho will not be on the scene.

Valdano and Mendes discussed mainly about signings and Mourinho's liquidated damages.

Mourinho hopes to take Gao Xiaodong, Maicon, Milito and Quaresma from Inter Milan, and buy Di Maria and Coentran from Benfica, while Baldano thinks Milito is too old and Quaresma The level of horses is not worthy of Real Madrid, Di Mari Asia Pacific is young and the asking price is too high, I hope Mourinho will give up these three players.

In addition, Mourinho and Inter Milan have a two-year contract. If Mourinho leaves early, he will have to pay Inter Milan a penalty of 16 million euros instead of 9 million euros as Mendes said.

Baldano believes that Mourinho won the triple crown for Inter Milan and made great contributions. He can persuade Moratti to release him for free instead of letting Real Madrid pay the penalty for Mourinho.

After listening to Bardano's endless talk, Mendes just smiled and said: "Who deserves to go to Real Madrid, I think Mourinho knows better than the two of us."

Valdano sneered: "Mr. Mendes, Quaresma can't play in a team like Inter Milan. Is Real Madrid weaker than Inter Milan?"

Mendes smiled, "Mourinho said that Quaresma is capable, but he is not used to Inter Milan and Serie A."

Bardano said: "Where are Milito and Di Maria. Milito is 31 years old. I don't think Real Madrid needs to buy him. We are not a nursing home like Milan. Besides, Mr. Mendes, you really think Di Maria is worth 30 million euros?"

Mendes smiled slightly, "Do you think the Gao Xiaodong of last season is worth 50 million? If Xiaodong is worth, then Di Maria is worth it. In addition, there is an alternative answer to Milito’s question, that is Porto’s. Falcao, but the price is also 30 million euros."

After Baldano heard this, he snarled the case and said sarcastically: "Mr. Mendes, these are your company's players. Your gangster is really well-deserved. Players like Falcao and Di Maria are worth 30 million. , Why don't you rob the bank?"

Mendes still looked calm, and said sharply: "Manager Valdano, Milito is not a member of our company. Do you think you are old, Di Maria and Falcao, you think you are young again, and you think I'm a fake business for private purposes, and deliberately sell. My company’s players, did they deliberately make things difficult because of a conflict between you and Mourinho."

Valdano slowly sat down and said: "Mendez, you are misunderstood. I have no conflict with Mourinho. When selecting the coach, I was not optimistic about Mourinho at first, but Mourinho won the Triple Crown. I think Real Madrid now needs a coach like Mourinho, and I will fully support him, but the transfer is obviously unreasonable. I must raise my doubts. This is where I work. As long as I become the Real Madrid manager for one day, I These words must be said, including Mourinho’s liquidated damages."

Mendes smiled and said leisurely: "With regard to Mourinho’s liquidated damages, we cannot guarantee that Chairman Moratti will be convinced, because Mourinho did not go back to celebrate, and he planned to poach Gao Xiaodong away, making Moratti very angry. We will try our best to convince President Moratti that if he fails to do Moratti’s work, Real Madrid will still have to pay the liquidated damages, because it is President Florentino who wants Mourinho to be in charge of Real Madrid at this time. It is not that we beg to coach Real Madrid. If Mourinho is unable to sign the contract due to liquidated damages, we are not responsible."

Mendes is amiable, but the words are full of threats.

Bardano became angry for a while, and after a while, he said: "Mr. Mendes, I hope you can talk to Mourinho. Real Madrid is a membership club, and every penny is responsible to the members. If you transfer If you make an obvious stupid mistake, and then pay the penalty for Mourinho, Chairman Florentino will be under great pressure."

Mendes said faintly: "Stupid is not stupid, only use it to know, I don't need to talk to Mourinho, this is his request, I just send a message."

Baldano softened and said: "We can discuss the transfer issue slowly, but Inter Milan’s liquidated damages, I hope you can persuade President Moratti, this is clearly a sum of money that can be saved, Mendes. Sir, if you spend it, don’t you think it will increase the pressure on Mourinho?"

Mendes smiled and said: "I understand, so I said, we will try our best to persuade Chairman Moratti."

Valdano said: "Okay, last season's results were very poor, Florentino chairman pressure is not small, I hope that Mr. Mendes will settle the liquidated damages soon, and Real Madrid can announce Mourinho's appointment."

Mendes said: "Don't worry, Mourinho is preparing to go to Milan for my round."

Baldano said: "Okay, then I won't delay Mr. Mendes' time, goodbye."

Valdano left Mendes’ office, Mendes paced around the office a few times and dialed Mourinho’s phone.

...

This is already the third afternoon after the Champions League final

The small town of Belsag in the north of Milan

Chairman Moratti met his team's head coach Mourinho and the famous agent predator Mendes in his private residence.

Although Moratti was dissatisfied with Mourinho's disrespectful behavior in the final, Mourinho was after all the coach who won the Triple Crown for Inter Milan to help him realize his dreams. He was still a gentleman and gave Mourinho one. Hug and invite him and Mendes into the living room.

Moratti's wife Millie personally came over to bring tea and pastries to Mourinho and Mendes, and took her grandson to another room.

Mendes saw the estrangement between Moratti and Mourinho, and took the lead in speaking: "José is a person who doesn't like bustle. It happened to be invited by President Florentino that day, so he didn't have time to participate in the celebration. Activities, in fact, he is also very regretful."

Moratti said faintly: "Mr. Mendes, this has passed. I still have to thank Jose for helping me realize my dream. Without him, there would be no Champions League champion."

Mourinho reluctantly smiled and said: "President, I am here to say goodbye to you today. I plan to leave Inter Milan. President Florentino invited me to take charge of Real Madrid."

Moratti was very angry after hearing this. What did he do after the final. When I was a fool, I disclosed it to the media. Now I say goodbye to me. If you hadn't helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown, I would never have seen you. you.

"You are determined to leave, I will not stay, I wish you a brilliant record in Real Madrid." Moratti said lightly.

Mendes coughed and said, "Chairman, can the liquidated damages be cancelled?"

Moratti frowned and said, "Liquidated damages? I don't know yet. Go to Blanca and Kelfi."

This is an obvious evasive statement, Mourinho and Blanca have a contradiction, if you really go to Blanca, the penalty must be paid in full.

Mendes decided to say directly, "Chairman, it is the 16 million euro liquidated damages that Jose had to pay if he terminated the contract early last year. I hope you can cancel it.

Moratti pretended to be confused: "Why cancel?"

Mendes said: "José has devoted all his efforts and made great contributions to Inter Milan. I also hope that you can provide some help for Mourinho's future."

Moratti said lightly: "I think it's better to act according to the contract."

Mourinho couldn't help but said: "Chairman, you said that if Inter Milan can win the Champions League, you will let me go for free."

Moratti said: "Yes, I said, but I am the chairman, but I am not the only shareholder. The club is not my sole decision. The second shareholder Tron Katie and others think that you and Mr. Mendes lack The minimum respect for Inter Milan, so they all think it is better to act according to the contract."

Mendes did not expect that the gentleman Moratti turned back and said unhappy: "Chairman, maybe you don't care about verbal promises, but don't forget that Italian law does not allow contractual damages to be set."

Moratti sneered and said, "Mr. Mendes, if you want to fight me in Italy, I will stay with you to the end."

Moratti has always been known for his gentleman's demeanor. In the eyes of fans and players, both Mendes and Mourinho did not expect that the good guys would be tough, and they couldn't help being stunned. r
