When Gao Xiaodong called his team together to discuss the future of next season, Real Madrid manager Valdano was at Mendes' gedfurt agency to discuss with Mendes about the details of Jose's coaching of Real Madrid.
Jose and Real Madrid have basically reached an agreement. What they are discussing is only the details of the contract. On such a fussy occasion, of course, Florentino and Jose will not be at the scene.
Valdano and Mendes discussed mainly about the signing and the penalty of Jose.
Jose wants to take away Gao Xiaodong, Maicon, Milito and Quaresma from Inter Milan, and buy Di Maria and coentran from Benfica. Baldano thinks that Milito is too old, Quaresma's level is not worthy of Real Madrid, Di Maria is too young and the price is too high, so he hopes to give up these three players.
In addition, there is a two-year contract between Jose and Inter Milan. If he leaves ahead of time, he will have to pay inter a penalty of 16 million euros instead of 9 million euros as Mendes said.
Baldano thinks that Jose has won the treble for Inter Milan and made great contributions. He can completely persuade Moratti to release the player for free instead of letting Real Madrid pay the penalty for him.
Listen to baldano endless finish, Mendes just smile, said: "worthy of Real Madrid, I think the two of us are more clear than the mulinoo."
Baldano sneered: "Mr. Mendes, Quaresma can't play in a team like Inter. Is real weaker than inter?"
Mendes smile, "Jose said, Quaresma is a strength, but he does not adapt to Inter and Serie A just."
Baldano said: "what about Milito and DiMaria? Milito is 31 years old. I don't think Real Madrid need to buy him. We are not a nursing home like Milan. Besides, Mr. Mendes, do you really think DiMaria is worth 30 million euros?"
Mendes smiles, "do you think Gao Xiaodong last season was worth 50 million? If winter is worth it, DiMaria is worth it. In addition, there is an alternative answer to Milito's question, which is Porto's Falcao, but the price is also 30 million euros. "
After listening to this, baldano clapped his hands and said sarcastically, "Mr. Mendes, these are the players of your company. Your black shop really deserves its reputation. Players like Falcao and DiMaria need 30 million. Why don't you rob the bank?"
Mendes still calm expression, to the point: "manager Valdano, Milito is not my company's people, you think old, DiMaria and Falcao you think young, also think I'm a hypocrite, deliberately promote my company's players, is it because you have conflicts with Jose, deliberately create difficulties."
Baldano sat down slowly and said: "Mendes, you misunderstood me. I didn't have any conflict with him. I didn't think much of him at the beginning of the selection, but he won the third crown queen. I think Real Madrid need a coach like him now. I will also give him my full support, but I have to raise my doubts about the obviously unreasonable transfer. This is my duty As long as I am the manager of Real Madrid for one day, I have to say these words, including the penalty of Jose
Mendes laughed and said leisurely: "we can't guarantee that we will persuade president Moratti about the penalty of Jose. Because he didn't go back to celebrate and is ready to poach Gao Xiaodong, which makes Moratti very angry. However, we will try our best to persuade president Moratti that if we can't do Moratti's work, the penalty will still be paid by Real Madrid, because it's Francois President lorentino hopes that he can coach Real Madrid at this time, instead of us asking to coach Real Madrid. If he is unable to sign a contract because of the problem of liquidated damages, the responsibility is not ours
Mendes had a pleasant face, but his words were full of threats.
Baldano was angry for a while. After a while, he said: "Mr. Mendes, I hope you can have a good talk with the manager. Real Madrid is a membership club. They are responsible for their members for every penny they spend. If they make an obvious stupid mistake in the transfer and pay the penalty for the manager, President Florentino will have a lot of pressure."
Mendes light way: "stupid is not stupid, only used to know, I don't have to talk with Jose, this is his request, I just pass a word."
Baldano softened and said: "we can discuss the transfer issue slowly, but I hope you can convince president Moratti that it is a sum of money that can be saved. Mr. Mendes, if it is spent, don't you think it will increase the pressure on the manager?"
Mendes said with a smile: "I understand, so I said, we will try our best to persuade president Moratti."
Baldano said: "well, last season's performance was very poor. President Florentino has a lot of pressure. I hope Mr. Mendes can settle the matter of liquidated damages as soon as possible and Real Madrid can announce the appointment of Jose
Mendes said: "don't worry, I'm going to Milan with Jose
Baldano said, "well, then I won't delay Mr. Mendes. Goodbye."
Valdano left Mendes' office. Mendes walked around the office a few times and called Jose.……
On the afternoon of the third day after the Champions League final
in the small town of berzag in the north of Milan
president Moratti met with his team's head coach, Jose Mourinho, and famous agent, Mendes, in his private residence.
Moratti was dissatisfied with the fact that he did not respect himself and inter after the final, but after all, he was the coach who helped inter win the treble to realize his dream. He gave him a gentle hug and invited him and Mendes into the living room.
Moratti's wife, Millie, came in person to bring tea and cakes to Jose and Mendes, and took her grandson to another room.
Mendes saw the estrangement between Moratti and Jose, and took the lead in saying: "Jose is a person who doesn't like the excitement. It happened that President Florentino invited him that day, so he didn't have time to participate in the celebration. In fact, he was also very sorry."
Moratti light way: "Mr. Mendes, this has passed, I still want to thank Jose to help me realize my dream, without him there will be no Champions League."
"President, I'm here to say goodbye to you today. I'm going to leave Inter. President Florentino has invited me to coach Real Madrid," he said with a forced smile
Moratti was angry. What did he do after the final? When I was a fool, I made it public to the media. Now I say goodbye. If you didn't help inter win the treble, I would never see you.
"You are determined to leave, and I will not stay. I wish you a brilliant record in Real Madrid." Moratti said faintly.
Mendes coughed and said, "Chairman, can the penalty be cancelled?"
Moratti frowned and said, "liquidated damages? I'm not sure. You can talk to Blanca and kelfi
This is an obvious word of evasion. There is a conflict between Jose and inter manager Blanca. If you really go to Blanca, the penalty must be paid.
Mendes decided to put it bluntly, "Madam President, it is the 16 million euro liquidated damages that Jose had to pay if he terminated his contract in advance in last year's contract. I hope you can cancel it."
Moratti pretended to be confused: "why cancel? "
Mendes said:" Jose has made a great contribution to Inter and I hope you can help him in his future. "
Moratti light way: "I think it is better to act according to the contract."
"President, you said that if Inter could win the Champions League, you would let me go for free," he said
Moratti said, "yes, I said, but I am the chairman, but not the only shareholder. The club is not my has the final say. Second shareholder Katie and others think that you and Mr. Mendes lack the minimum respect for international Milan, so they all think it is still good for the contract."
Mendes didn't expect that Moratti, a very gentle man, turned back and said: "Madam President, maybe you don't care about verbal promises, but don't forget that Italian law does not allow liquidated damages in contracts."
Moratti sneered and said, "Mr. Mendes, if you want to fight me in Italy, I will accompany you to the end."
Moratti has always been known for his gentlemanly demeanor. He is a kind-hearted old man in the eyes of fans and players. Mendes and Jose did not expect that the old man would be tough and could not help but be stunned.
