Chapter 760: Submission of the Letter of Attorney

Horabchin and others would think so, and Yang Huan would naturally think in this direction as well.

It has to be admitted that the group of Brazilian players in Shakhtar Donetsk's hands are indeed quite good.

In the past few years, Ukrainian giants have also made a lot of profits from these players.

Even though Joorabchian, Bertolucci and others seem to be asking for help from him, and seem to be very pitiful, in reality, they are more or less asking for it.

Why do we have to try so hard to cram so many players, some of whom even have serious overlapping positions, into Shakhtar Donetsk?

Isn’t it because the Ukrainian powerful are rich?

In addition, Shakhtar Donetsk can play in the Champions League every year, and the players have great potential for appreciation.

Last summer, Fernandinho cost Manchester City 40 million euros, and William was also sold for an astonishingly high price.

Just these two transfers made Shakhtar Donetsk a huge profit.

Could it be that Joorabchian and Bertolucci didn't get a share of the profits?

Therefore, even though they sounded very miserable on the surface, Yang Huan was still analyzing the pros and cons very rationally in his heart.

"Among them, there are not many players who meet our requirements. Wellington Nem, Fred, Luiz Adriano, Bernard, Fernando, Douglas Costa and Alex. I want these seven players."

Yang Huan's words surprised Horabchine and Bertolucci a little.

This Young Master Huan is Young Master Huan. He has a very sharp eye and almost all of the players he selects are the best and most promising.

"My request is very simple. We will arrange for these players to play for other teams. We promise to give them enough game training, but they must obey our arrangements. This is non-negotiable."

Joorabchian and Bertolucci looked at each other and readily agreed to this condition.

They are now in need of help. In the entire European football world, is there anyone who has such courage to swallow up this group of players in one go like Young Master Huan did?

Even if we have the financial resources, we still need a place to accommodate the players.

I'm afraid even a super tycoon like Mende doesn't have this ability?

Therefore, unless they want to break up the players and look for buyers one by one, they can only cooperate with Young Master Huan.

"Another point is that if I remember correctly, the salaries given to players by Shakhtar Donetsk are generally high."

This was also the condition that Shakhtar Donetsk used to attract Brazilian players to Ukraine. Otherwise, which player would be willing to give up a well-paid European team and go to Ukraine, where the ice and snow cover surround them, to play football?

Of course, this has certain benefits.

That is, after training in Ukraine, the players who came out generally have strong adaptability.

Except for the case of Zielinski joining Barcelona, ​​the others seem to be relatively successful.

"In my case, all the players' salaries have to be renegotiated. I can't pay the players such high salaries."

This one puts Joorabchian and Bertolucci in a difficult position.

It is easy to increase players' salaries, but it is more difficult to reduce them.

But what Master Huan said was not completely unreasonable.

From the perspective of a rational operator, Shakhtar Donetsk relies on high salaries to attract players, but Master Huan does not need that at all. In fact, with the resources Master Huan has, the players should even take a pay cut to join the team.

After all, Southampton's ability to cultivate stars is known to the world.

"Master Huan, we promise that we are willing to try our best to convince the players on this point. And please believe that our most important idea right now is to escape from Ukraine!" Horabchin said with embarrassment.

Yang Huan nodded. It was indeed difficult to ask the players to take a pay cut, but Yang Huan believed that they would make a reasonable choice.

"The last one, transfer fee!"

It should be said that this is also the most critical one.

The current situation is that the player wants to run away. Shakhtar Donetsk knows their situation and may not be able to keep the player, so they want to cash out and recover the cost as much as possible.

So, in this case, should Yang Huan take a dip?

"Pini!" Yang Huan looked at Pini Zahavi again.

"Master Huan!"

"I've been very busy recently. Please help me with this matter. Go and talk to Shakhtar Donetsk. I want these seven players, and I can pay them all in cash, but the transfer fee cannot exceed 60 million euros!"

60 million euros?

Both Joabchian and Bertolucci were a little surprised. Isn't this too low?

On average, a player makes less than 10 million, how is that possible?

But on second thought, why not?

Given the current situation in Ukraine, everyone is worried. Not only do they want to escape, but I'm afraid even the boss of Donetsk Miners is thinking about escaping.

Since they were all going to flee, were they going to run away with the players or with the cash?

You should know that in most European leagues, players are not allowed to be owned by third-party organizations.

Besides, the players are full of energy and vitality. If they run away, who can control them?

Well, even if you don’t run away, after a year or two, when the player’s contract expires, you won’t get a penny.

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "I received news that the owner of Shakhtar Donetsk, Renato Akhmetov, is my neighbor..."

"Your neighbor?" Joorabchian was surprised.

Not only him, but also Bertolucci and Pini Zahavi were surprised.

Does this Ukrainian tycoon live in Southampton?

Yang Huan laughed, "He bought a luxury penthouse at One Hyde Park in London a few years ago, right next to mine!"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was this kind of neighbor.

But what Yang Huan found funny was that the location of Renato Akhmetov's villa was worse than his own, and the facilities were worse than his own, but in the end, the price was much higher than his own.

The reason is very simple. One Hyde Park is known as the most expensive residential area in the world, and it is for wealthy people like Renato Akhmetov and Hamad. Through the relationship with the Grosvenor family, he got a very cheap friendly price.

But that’s not the point!

"I received news that Akhmetov supported the former Ukrainian president, but the latter has now fled to Russia, so his situation in Ukraine is very awkward. He has been transferring assets to Europe in recent times, so I believe that he is more interested in cash than players."

The former president has fallen, and the new leadership team has come in and the first thing they do is to settle accounts with the past.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Akhmetov to choose to transfer his assets to Europe.

Pini Zahavi listened and immediately smiled, "If that's the case, then I know how to talk about it!"

Yang Huan nodded appreciatively towards the Israelis.

This is what is so smart about Pini Zahavi, he always knows and helps you get what you want.

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the conference room.

Ron Gourley pushed open the door and walked in. "Master Huan, the venue is almost ready and everyone is here."

Although this sponsor conference was held in a bit of a hurry, the club attached great importance to it.

When did Manchester United's business empire begin to rise?

Didn’t it start in 1999 when the Red Devils defeated Bayern Munich and won the Champions League and the Treble?

If Southampton does not know how to make good use of the team's outstanding performance in the Champions League this time, build momentum for the club, and carry out commercial publicity and promotion, then it will be too weak.

Besides, Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourlay are both founders of Manchester United's Red Devils business empire. They have experience from the last operation, and with Southampton's good foundation, it is natural that the operation will be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Okay, you two discuss this matter further and report to Ron later on how to do it."

Yang Huan's words made Pini Zahavi and others stand up quickly and nod in unison.

"In addition, I will ask the technical department to prepare a report. If this deal is successful, Barbosa will not have to leave Brazil. Luis Adriano can be loaned to Ajax directly!"

This is also an option, after all, Adriano is more capable in combat.

Barbosa is indeed talented, but he is still too young. No one knows how much combat effectiveness he can have. It would be better to let him stay in Brazil and continue to maintain this momentum of improvement.

After watching Master Huan leave the meeting room, Joorabchian and Bertolucci looked at each other and then looked at Pini Zahavi again.

Now, everything is up to the Israelites.

Pini Zahavi smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at me like that. Master Huan entrusted this matter to me, which proves that he trusts me and you. So, we just need to do our job well and do a good job. That's all."

Both Joorabchian and Bertolucci kept nodding their heads. They had no choice at all now.

"In fact, although many people call us human traffickers, and some even say we are vampires, people in our line of work also need to know how to judge people and situations."

"In recent years, a term has become popular in European football, MCO, which stands for multi-club co-ownership model!"

I have heard of Joorabchian and Bertolucci to some extent, but I am certainly not as familiar with them and understand them as well as Pini Zahavi.

"The Pozzo family in Italy, the Red Bull Group in Thailand, and the Belgian tycoon Roland Ducharette are all pioneers of this multi-club co-ownership model. The latter just bought Charlton in January 2014, and previously also bought Carl Zeiss Jena in Germany, Alcorcón in Spain, and Standard Liege in Belgium."

"I have also received news that Manchester City has decided to set up the City Football Group. They will set up football teams in New York and Melbourne, set up a youth training camp in Ghana, and are also interested in acquiring shares in teams such as Sporting Lisbon."

At this point, Pini Zahavi laughed again.

"But among so many people, I am most optimistic about Master Huan. Do you know why?"

Both Joorabchian and Bertolucci shook their heads.

"Because the operating model of others makes it difficult for people to see the hope of making a profit. It all depends on investors burning money behind the scenes, or like the Pozzo family, buying and selling at low prices, it is difficult to achieve results."

"Master Ke Huan is different. He wants to connect the entire industry chain, and he has strong resources to support him. Apart from anything else, Southampton's player data analysis and research system is enough to ensure the success of its players. Miracle Media's strong commercial operation capabilities are even more powerful tools for creating stars."

"At least, I am very optimistic about this model!"

Having said that, Pini Zahavi didn't say anything more.

But his eyes seemed to be saying, I've said everything I need to say, you can do whatever you want.

If you want to catch Master Huan's train, this is a very good opportunity.

Because Yang Huan's model requires an endless supply of raw player materials from the Brazilian and Argentine markets.

And this is exactly what Joorabchian and Bertolucci are best at.

Thinking of this, both Joorabchian and Bertolucci knew that they should make a decision.

There’s a saying that goes, want to join?

Sure, I’ll pledge my allegiance!
