Chapter 28 All Crazy!

"Master Huan, after meeting you yesterday, I immediately contacted my assistant in France."

Raiola on the other end of the phone began to introduce his progress.

Yang Huan curled his lips when he heard this. This guy is too good at talking. He is also an assistant, so he must be a partner.

The football agent industry is a big network, and each agent is one of the meshes in the network. They are cross-connected with each other. For example, Mendes used to be the partner of Brazilian super agent Figel in Portugal. Later, Figel fell into decline, and Mendes took the opportunity to expand.

But none of this matters. What Yang Huan wants is the result, not the process.

"My assistant told me that the Moroccan central defender Madhi Benatia, who plays for Clermont-Ferrand in the French Ligue 2, has agreed to move to Southampton. Although he is a Moroccan player, he has French nationality."

Yang Huan nodded. If he remembered correctly, this player should have joined Serie A in his previous life and later shined in Roma. His strength is still very outstanding. Although he is not a superstar, he is also very good.

"However, Master Huan, he is a free transfer, so I'm afraid his salary..."

"As for the salary, it's easy. I'll arrange for someone from the club to negotiate, and you can assist me."

"Understood!" Raiola knew that the deal was a success.

He just made a phone call, but he could get a commission from it, at least six figures.

"My assistant has also contacted the French Ligue 1 club Lens. Raphael Varane is a young player that Lens values ​​very much. They attach great importance to him, and the player himself is still studying, so..."

Yang Huan frowned when he heard this, "You mean, they refused?"

"No, no, no, I didn't refuse!" Raiola quickly defended, "Lens asked for 1 million euros in youth training compensation, and also 25% of the proceeds from Southampton's sale of Varane in the future. As for the players, the education in the UK is better, so I think as long as we contact a good school for the players, there will be no problem."

"Youth training compensation is fine, one million euros is no problem, but as for the profit clauses from the future sale, you should tell Lens that I refuse them. I don't want any clauses of this kind in the future."

Yang Huan likes to do things quickly and efficiently and does not like to drag things out. He hates clauses such as the right to repurchase within a certain number of years, or sharing the proceeds from future sales.

I don't have money? Why should I accept such terms? Why can't I just pay a little more and get rid of these terms?

"I understand. As long as there is no problem with the youth training compensation, other problems will not be a big problem." Raiola agreed immediately.

Another commission has been credited!

This plump Italian seemed to see only British pounds.

"In addition, my friends in the Netherlands also contacted Sparta Rotterdam in the Dutch second division. They did not set up more obstacles in Kevin Stroman's transfer, and the player was also full of expectations to join the English football world. They offered 500,000 euros."

Yang Huan hummed, "I'll tell the team members, you just need to handle it."

Strootman is the future captain of the Dutch national team and an outstanding midfielder whom Van Gaal values ​​very much. Some people even say that the reason why the Netherlands failed to go further in the World Cup in Brazil is because Strootman missed the World Cup due to a serious injury.

For Yang Huan, 500,000 euros for such a midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities is a great deal!

"Anything else?" Yang Huan was still not satisfied.

Raiola is indeed very capable and the price he offered is very honest, which shows that he really wants to have a good relationship with Yang Huan this time.

Being able to deal with Benatia, Varane and Strootman overnight, Raiola's interpersonal relationships and network, as well as his ability to handle things, are indeed quite outstanding. No wonder he has been so successful in European football in recent years.

"Yes, in fact, I have also contacted Real Madrid. Carvajal, who is on the list, is currently playing for Real Madrid's youth team. Real Madrid does not attach much importance to this player. I believe it will not be difficult, but Real Madrid has not responded to me yet."

"In addition, I called Bayern Munich's sports director, Alex Nehringer. Bayern Munich does not have a place for the Austrian teenager David Alaba, but they are very optimistic about him and prefer to loan him out or add a buy-back clause."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan felt a headache. It was this kind of clause again.

"Bayern Munich is willing to sell David Alaba on loan or for 2 million euros, but there must be a clause in the contract that Bayern Munich can buy back the player for 3 million euros within three years."

David Alaba is only eighteen years old, but he is already an Austrian international. He has made one appearance for Bayern Munich's first team, in the UEFA Champions League, but did not perform well. He was not included in Van Gaal's list of players to be reused in the new season, so he was included in the team's loan list.

In recent years, Bayern Munich has been very good at using this loan method to allow other teams to train players for them, such as Lahm, Toni Kroos, and Dortmund central defender Hummels, but the latter was bought out directly after joining Dortmund.

"Buyback?" Yang Huan found it a little funny. If you want to sell, just click sell. If not, I will find someone else. Why bother with the buyback?

"You tell Bayern Munich that for 3 million euros, if you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. I don't want it!"

Raiola gave a bitter smile on the other end of the phone. How could one be angry when doing business?

So he decided that he would not be able to convey Yang Huan's words verbatim, and he had to think of other ways to convince the Bayern Munich executives. Fortunately, this team was different from other teams, and they attached great importance to commercial benefits.

David Alaba's price has been raised to 3 million euros, which is about right.

"By the way, Mino, can you handle the situation with Manchester United?" Yang Huan became concerned about Pogba and Ravel Morrison.

Needless to say, Pogba is a top talent and is still waiting for an opportunity in Manchester United's youth training camp.

As for Ravelle Morrison, he is regarded as a top talent comparable to England's super genius Gascoigne. He and Pogba are currently the most talented future rookies in Manchester United's youth training camp.

"I'm trying to figure it out. Please give me a little more time."

Yang Huan laughed, "I'm not in a hurry, take your time, I'll wait for your good news."

"clear."

…………

When Yang Huan was talking to Raiola on the phone, the entire British media industry was in chaos.

The name Charlene Lahiri appears on the desks of editors-in-chief of all British newspapers.

Also appearing is an exclusive report of hers.

The front-page headline of the Southern Echo today is a photo taken from outside the car through the window. The first person is Yang Huan, and the person sitting inside is Marcelo Bielsa!

The Argentine madman who just shined in the World Cup is going to coach Southampton?

How is this possible?

Almost everyone didn't believe it and thought it was a hype!

But the facts are right in front of us. Bielsa was sitting in Yang Huan's car, and the evidence is irrefutable.

Crazy!

These saints from the south of England must be going crazy!

All Saints fans went wild when they saw the news. Ever since this team famous for its youth training was relegated from the Premier League, darkness has been the only thing that has greeted Saints fans. From the Premier League to the Championship, and from the Championship to League One, the team even went bankrupt.

In this darkness, they could not see any ray of hope.

In the past less than ten days, they have been shocked by reports in the news media, but they may still say that it is hype, but what about Bielsa?

The arrival of the Argentine madman completely announced that Southampton will have a good opportunity to show its strength!

Yang Huan recruited a truly world-famous coach to tell all Saints fans and all English fans that Southampton will rise to become an emerging force in English football that cannot be underestimated in the shortest possible time.

The entire British media industry went crazy and was shocked!

They rushed to Southampton frantically, hoping to interview Yang Huan or Bielsa. They hoped to find out what was going on and what was the reason that prompted Bielsa to coach the English League One team.

After Bielsa joined the team, everyone felt relieved about Yang Huan's decision to fire Alan Paddu.

Compared with Bielsa who is so powerful in the World Cup, Alan Pardew is nothing!

So, when Yang Huan brought Long Wu to St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, dozens of reporters gathered at the scene rushed up frantically, blocking his Bentley in the middle of the road.

"Mr. Yang Huan, let me ask you a question. Does Bielsa really want to coach Southampton?"

"What made Bielsa willing to give in to Southampton?"

"There is news that you offered Bielsa an annual salary that exceeds Mourinho's, the highest in the world. Is that true?"

"Can you tell me about your specific plans after bringing in Bielsa?"

Reporters were madly blocking Yang Huan's car, and their microphones were knocking on the car window from time to time, but fortunately they were not heavy.

However, outside the car, reporters were crowded together and the whole scene was very chaotic.

The security personnel at St. Mary's Stadium received the notification and rushed out immediately, pulling away the reporters who were blocking the way, allowing Yang Huan's car to smoothly drive into the high-rise parking lot of St. Mary's Stadium, while they were blocked outside the parking lot.

Under the gaze of all the reporters at the scene and the flashing spotlights, Yang Huan walked out of the Bentley, but did not walk towards St. Mary's Stadium first, but walked towards the group of reporters.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I'm a reporter from The Sun. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"I'm a reporter from The Times. Can I do an interview with you?"

"I'm from the BBC. I'd like to invite you to be interviewed on our TV show. Is that okay?"

Facing the overwhelming crowd of reporters and media at the scene, Yang Huan appeared very calm because there were security guards standing in front of him.

"Dear reporters and friends from the TV station, thank you very much for your concern. I can answer a few topics that everyone is concerned about." Yang Huan stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet.

The scene immediately became silent. Someone even held a recorder and passed it behind the security guard, trying to get as close to Yang Huan as possible.

"First of all, I can tell you with certainty that Mr. Marcelo Bielsa will be the head coach of Southampton in the new season. We all firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Bielsa, Southampton will usher in a revival. We will return to the Premier League in the shortest possible time and become an indispensable new force in English football."

This piece of news was officially confirmed after it was spoken by Yang Huan, so many people at the scene were a little surprised.

But it soon calmed down.

After all, it was reported in the newspapers.

"Secondly, after careful consideration, we at Southampton are grateful for Alan Pardew's contribution to Southampton and his regretful apology. With the help of relevant departments, we have decided to withdraw the charges against Alan Pardew and reach an out-of-court settlement."

As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, the reporters at the scene were suddenly in an uproar.

Such a simple sentence reveals a lot of meaning.

But from the lines, it is certain that Alan Pardew came to beg for mercy.

I didn't expect that this young marshal who usually acted like a powerful person would have to bow his head and beg for mercy one day!

Many reporters at the scene who usually disliked Alan Pardew were gloating over his misfortune.

Yang Huan was not in a hurry either. He had plenty of time. He waited until the reporters on the scene had digested his words before he continued.

"The third thing is..."
