Chapter 29
After dealing with Stam's transfer, Yang Luo immediately flew to Barcelona, Spain.
Ever since he took over Manchester City, he has been thinking about this moment.
La Masia is now a real treasure!
The little Argentine is about to turn sixteen, and he can offer the Argentine a professional contract!
Barcelona is about to face a very big event.
Because they are going to start the election of the president!
The current Barcelona president is Gaspart, and his main competitor is Laporta, who is very familiar to the fans.
Under Laporta's leadership, Barcelona has shown a gorgeous performance of Dream II and Dream III. It can be said that he is a very suitable president for Barcelona.
Although he used insidious means to force Messi away after his second visit, it must be said that he is a capable chairman.
On the other hand, under Gaspart, Barcelona fell into chaos, and this season it even fell to the bottom half of the standings.
This brother may be a good person, but he is obviously not qualified to be a chairman.
Since the election is in July, Yang Luo must take advantage of this time difference to win these talents of La Masia!
At the Barcelona club, Chairman Gaspart personally received them.
Due to the embarrassing performance of Barcelona, his position is now in jeopardy.
So he must come up with something decent in the last period of time to win back the hearts of the fans.
And his choice is to compete with Real Madrid for David Beckham!
In fact, this is also Yang Luo's fault, because he has robbed Barcelona's original prey, Ronaldinho!
Now Barcelona and Real Madrid's offer has reached 40 million euros, but Manchester United, who is sitting on the Diaoyutai, has not yet expressed their views on their offer.
This made Gaspart very anxious.
Because Barcelona obviously didn't have as much money as its old rival Real Madrid, their transfer fee was almost reaching the bottom.
If Real Madrid raised the price again, they would lose this popular player!
So, the arrival of Yang Luo and Bernstein became his life-saving straw.
I heard that they wanted to buy Messi from their youth team, isn't this just giving him money?
You know, although this short Argentine has outstanding skills, his physical condition...
Dwarfism patients need a lot of growth hormone to stimulate his physical development.
And it seems that he often has minor injuries. It is hard to say whether such a player can adapt to the intensity of professional football.
So Gaspart is not very optimistic about his prospects.
If they can offer 10 million euros, it will be an epic benefit for him to go and buy Beckham.
Thinking of this, he became very polite to Yang Luo and Bernstein: "You two have come from afar, it's really hard."
Yang Luo smiled: "It's not hard at all. We are flattered that Mr. Chairman came to receive us in person."
Gaspart smiled very approachably: "No, no, we are all part of the European football family, we should take care of each other and support each other like a family..."
Bernstein couldn't help scratching his head. The Barcelona president was really too enthusiastic!
After Yang Luo accompanied him in talking about this and that, the two sides finally got back to the point.
Yang Luo said: "Mr. Gaspart, we have communicated on the phone before. We want to buy Leo Messi from your youth team."
Gaspart pretended to be silent for a while: "Messi is a peerless genius in our team. Normally, we would not consider selling him."
Yang Luo is already very familiar with this routine. If you don't want to sell, will you come to receive us in person?
To put it bluntly, there are still requirements for the bid.
But Yang Luo is best at dealing with those who want to pay more.
Because he... is really rich!
So he said decisively: "We are very optimistic about Messi, so we are willing to offer 5 million pounds."
Gaspart was delighted. 5 million pounds was almost close to his target price of 10 million euros. This deal is possible!
So he pretended to be embarrassed: "Messi is our future star. We don't want to sell him... But you have shown your sincerity, and we can't stop your enthusiasm. So, if you offer 10 million pounds, we will agree to the transfer."
Bernstein frowned. He felt that 5 million pounds was already outrageous. After all, it was still a
Players who are not yet sixteen years old have great uncertainty in the future.
But Yang Luo said directly: "10 million pounds, deal."
As soon as this offer came out, Bernstein and Gaspart's faces changed.
Bernstein trembled in his heart: "10 million pounds! Our boss is too impulsive! This is different from what we discussed on the plane!"
Gaspart felt a pain in his heart: "Did I quote too little..."
But at this point, he could only reluctantly agree to Yang Luo's offer.
But even at this price, it has far exceeded his expectations!
In his heart, Yang Luo has undoubtedly become a golden and kind person!
But at this moment, Yang Luo suddenly said: "Mr. Gaspart, I am actually more interested in another player in your youth team."
Gaspart's eyes lit up.
Seeing that he is so generous, why don't I take the opportunity to get more wool?
So he asked, "Which other player has Mr. Yang taken a fancy to?"
Yang Luo did not hesitate: "Cesc Fabregas!"
Gaspart was stunned. Although this man was too generous in spending money, he had a good vision.
In his mind, Fabregas's future is much better than Messi's.
Because at least he has a good physique!
And his technical ability is also one of the best.
So he was really reluctant to part with Fabregas.
But at least he could listen to Yang Luo's offer, right?
So he asked, "Mr. Yang, how much do you want to offer for Cesc?"
Yang Luo did not hesitate: "Eight million pounds!"
Gaspart was stunned at the time.
Eight million pounds!
This is another huge sum of money!
He didn't want to sell Fabregas, but he offered too much...
And Bernstein's face changed completely.
He covered his chest, his heart and liver ached...
Did Yang Luo feel that the money in his hand was too hot to handle?
Why did he always want to spend it so easily?
How could Gaspart miss such a good opportunity, so he took the opportunity to raise the price: "12 million pounds!"
Yang Luo thought for a moment: "10 million pounds!"
Gaspart hesitated: "Deal!"
Bernstein rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
