Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Chapter 288 A Trip to the Black Shop

Sure enough, as Zhang Chong expected, Skriniar agreed to transfer to Paris after a little restraint.

Soon, an agreement was reached between them.

The transfer of Antoine Hill to Atletico Madrid was also settled, and Atletico Madrid also officially announced the transfer.

For the two of them, Zhang Chong was naturally more reluctant to part with Antoine Hill's departure, so he only sent Hill a farewell message.

As for Shik, it was just an ordinary transaction, and there was no disturbance in his mind.

After Weller handled the finishing work of the transfer, he was dragged by Zhang Chong to Portugal.

Zhang Chong needs to find a replacement for Shik.

And the upper limit of this substitute is even higher than Shik!

He is the future backbone of Manchester City's defense, the winner of the Premier League's best player, Ruben Dias!

Originally, Zhang Chong had two plans, one was Dias and the other was De Ligt.

But considering that buying Dias is equivalent to weakening Manchester City in disguise in the future, he still chose Dias.

Of course, another reason is that Dias is still the best young player in the Portuguese Super League, and Dericht is already a hot new star in Europe, so the price is not at the same level.

However, Ruben Dias is in the famous black shop of Benfica, and this negotiation is not destined to be easy.

Benfica's current sports director is the famous Rui Costa, who has left a great reputation in the years of galloping in Serie A.

The former top midfielder is already a bit blessed, but his face also left the calmness and wisdom brought to him by the years.

After Zhang Chong shook hands with him, he revealed the purpose of his trip.

Rui Costa smiled: "You also know that our club has never had anything not for sale. But if you want to take my players away, you must give a reasonable price."

Zhang Chong thought to himself, this is the way of working in a black shop.

But his reasonable price usually represents a very cheap price.

So he said, "We are here with great sincerity, and we will naturally bring a very reasonable price."

Rui Costa smiled, as if seeing a golden mountain appearing in front of him.

Zhang Chong said, "Our offer is 2000 million pounds."

Rui Costa showed a regretful expression: "Chairman Zhang, this price can't impress us."

Zhang Chong also had expected: "Mr. Costa, for a young central defender, I think we have shown sincerity. But you also need to tell us what your psychological price is. If you deviate too much, we will not Time wasted."

Rui Costa smiled: "Our psychological price is 500 million pounds."

Weller couldn't sit still when he heard that, isn't the price too shady?

You know, a 23-year-old famous Champions League champion central defender Shik only sold for 500 million pounds. Why do you want so much for a young player who is not yet famous?

Zhang Chong smiled: "With all due respect, this price is really too high. In this way, I will express my sincerity and raise the offer to 500 million pounds."

After speaking, he looked straight at Rui Costa, waiting for his statement.

Rui Costa also smiled: "Since Chairman Zhang has shown his sincerity, we will also make some concessions. £4000 million."

Zhang Chong complained in his heart that the black shop is really dark, and then continued to increase the price: "3000 million pounds."

Weller can't stand listening to him next to him. How much is a young central defender worth?

The Portuguese must have known that Bury had made a lot of money in the transfer market, and wanted to open his mouth to the Lions.

The boss is also crazy, why are you still bidding with him?

Rui Costa shook his head: "Thirty-seven million pounds."

Zhang Chong restrained his smile: "Thirty-three million pounds. This is our final offer. If you still disagree, then we have no choice but to leave."

After speaking, he put down the coffee cup in his hand and waited for Rui Costa's response.

Rui Costa also restrained his smile, and turned his gaze to Zhang Chong, without any tendency in his expression.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Weller silently took a sip of his coffee.

Just when he felt that the negotiation was about to collapse, Rui Costa suddenly laughed again: "Deal!"

Zhang Chong also laughed: "I thought we had no chance to do this business."

Rui Costa said with a smile: "Hopefully this deal will establish our good working relationship."

This means to attract Bury to become a long-term customer, and he can supply him with good products in the future.

Zhang Chong said silently in his heart, sorry...

Almost all the people who went out from Benfica started at [-] million, which was not what he could think of.

The point is that there is no need to...

The high-end goods they shipped from Benfica are not very useful.

For example, Phoenix with more than 1 million, such as Nunes with more than 8000 million pounds...

Ruben Dias is the most conscientious.

Of course, on the surface, he still said hello to Rui Costa, hello everyone, a harmonious scene.

After the two parties negotiated the transfer fee, the next step was the personal negotiation with Ruben Dias.

Ruben Dias went to Russia with the Portuguese national team, but this World Cup did not get a chance to play.

Now he has returned from his vacation, but he has not officially started training.

Rui Costa informed him and asked him to come to the club immediately.

When Ruben Dias came in front of them, Zhang Chong immediately realized that this deal would be of great value!

His potential has reached 177, his professionalism is 18, his ambition is 17, his competition performance is 16, and his injury tendency is only 4. He is simply a perfect iron man with a big heart and a high enterprising talent.

Of course, his height is only 1.8 meters 1.9, which is a little short, but his partner is Harry Maguire, who is [-] meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. There is no need to worry about the air defense capability of this line of defense of.

And his ability to play the ball is very outstanding, together with Maguire can become a double engine in the defense.

Ruben Dias heard that the new Champions League champion came to buy him, and immediately said that he could accept the transfer.

Now Bury's influence is growing day by day, and there is almost no need to use loyalty cards to attract players.

So the next thing was handed over to Weller. He negotiated personal treatment with Dias, and then prepared to take him to Bury for a medical examination. After the medical examination passed, the deal was considered complete.

When they left the Benfica club, Rui Costa smiled happily: "Come and sit often in the future!"

Zhang Chong and Weller looked at each other, and at the same time, a thought rose in their hearts: "You can't come to this kind of luxury store often!"
