"Why do you want to ask me about this kind of thing?"

In the southern suburbs of Madrid, in the office of Chinatown Youth Training Center, Gao Han asked Jorge Mendes, who was sitting in front of him with a wry smile. The Portuguese had just asked a question that he felt could not answer.

Paris Saint-Germain wants to poach Aubameyang!

"You shouldn't go to the next door to close the shàng door and discuss it?" Gao Han was also helpless. The thing he didn't want to encounter the most happened.

The team he coached finally dug into Chinatown.

When he was coaching Manchester City, Gao Han held two positions: Chief Technical Officer and Head Coach. This caused an uproar after Chinatown entered the Champions League. Many media reporters expressed concern about Gao Han's identity, believing that this violated UEFA's rules, and even UEFA had to clarify this.

But later Gao Han left Manchester City and coached Paris Saint-Germain. Although Paris Saint-Germain can only play in the UEFA Cup and Chinatown can play in the Champions League, it is still very sensitive. As long as Chinatown wins third in the group stage, it will fall into the UEFA Cup. What if it meets Paris Saint-Germain coached by Gao Han, what should I do?

Therefore, from the beginning, Gao Han rejected all appointments from Paris Saint-Germain. He only served as the team's head coach and ignored other positions. This also became the answer of UEFA President Platini to respond to questions from media reporters.

"He is just a head coach, not the core decision-maker of Paris Saint-Germain, and it doesn't go against the rules."

But everyone knows that this is hiding the bell.

With Gao Han's status, even if he is just the head coach and has no other position, he can still affect all the decisions of Paris Saint-Germain. However, with such wording, media reporters are powerless and can only look forward to seeing how Gao Han plays if Paris Saint-Germain draws Chinatown.

But what they didn't know was that he basically didn't care about anything except the team's competitive affairs. Even the transfer rights he originally valued the most were left to technical director Antero Enrique.

Just after the end of last season, before the team disbanded, Antero Enrique sent Gao Han a reference list of players from two positions that Gao Han wanted to introduce.

In the right side, Barcelona's Messi is ranked first, followed by Manchester City's Sanchez and Bayern Munich's Robben. These three superstars are all candidates for Paris Saint-Germain's strong support from the right.

But as a result, all the three giant teams refused to let go, so Antero Enrique had to settle for the second best and chose Aubameyang from Chinatown.

The Gabon international has performed well for several consecutive seasons, especially last season, scoring 24 goals in the La Liga, which is enough to compete with a superstar like Torres, attracting the attention of Real Madrid and naturally received the attention of Antero Enrique. In the absence of a superstar, Paris Saint-Germain targeted Chinatown.

Last season, the fourth place in La Liga, the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the finals of the Copa del Rey, this heavy report card is enough to attract the attention of teams across Europe.

What a shrewd person Mendes is? He has worked with Gao Han for so many years. How can he not understand Gao Han’s thoughts at this moment?

"Old rule, do you want to hear the truth or be polite?" Mendes asked seriously.

This is the usual characteristic of Gao Han, and Mendes follows the same example.

"Tell the truth." Gao Han smiled slightly.

He wouldn't even be unable to listen to the truth for Aubameyang.

"This summer, you shouldn't stay Aubameyang." Mendes replied with great certainty.

"Why?"

Mendes thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, Real Madrid and Chelsea are both interested in him. Aubameyang is already 23 years old. Although Chinatown has made rapid progress in the past two seasons, do you think you have an advantage compared to the giants? But for Aubameyang, he missed the opportunity to go to the giants. God knows when will there be another one?"

There is a saying in football: Be famous as soon as possible.

Players like Aubameyang are now twenty-three years old. If they fail to take advantage of the past two or three years to go to a stronger team, or even a giant team, when they are twenty-seven or eight years old, which giant team is willing to pay such a high price for him?

Under the attacks of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Chelsea, even if Chinatown is forced to stay successfully, on the one hand, not to mention that Aubameyang has to pay a higher annual salary, the players may not be happy. If it is more serious, it will affect his game status and development, it will be more of a loss.

Such cases are everywhere in European football.

Gao Han has coached in European football for so many years, and of course he knows this truth. Otherwise, how could he formulate a pragmatic transfer strategy for Chinatown?

But he is the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain and the boss of Chinatown. It is hard to say or make a decision about such things.

"How is the transfer market situation this year?" Gao Han did not answer directly, but changed the topic.

Mendes also knew Gao Han's temper and did not ask further. He smiled and said, "It's very lively. I just came back from Russia."

"Russia?"

"You should still remember the Brazilian center in Porto, right?"

"Hulke." Gao Han of course remembered him, and caused trouble for Chinatown a lot in the Champions League group stage.

Mendes nodded, "Our company owns half of his ownership, and now Russia's Zenit is interested in him. I went to talk about it. Zenit's boss is very rich, and he bought it at a price of 60 million euros."

"Sixty million?" Gao Han was shocked.

Although Hulk has indeed performed well in the last two seasons, it would be a bit outrageous to say that he is worth 60 million euros.

"You know Vitsel of Benfica, too?"

"Well, the Belgian midfielder with good strength."

"Forty million euros." Mendes was very satisfied with Gao Han's surprise, because these were the two transactions he himself was most proud of so far this summer. Just these two transactions, Mendes earned more than 40 million euros in transfer fee sharing for the company. If the broker's commission was included, it would be even more.

According to the company's shares, Mendes and Gao Han each share half of the money they earn.

"It turns out that the agent is still easy to make money." Gao Han laughed.

Mendes raised an eyebrow at Gao Han, "Then you should stop coaching. Why do you work so hard? We two team up to join forces, with your vision and ability, my network resources, I can guarantee that the entire world football is ours."

When he said this, a domineering aura emanated from Mendes' eyes.

This is the hottest super agent in the world football world now. It can be said that his stomp in his feet can make the European football world earthquake.

With the same persuasion, Mendes has not known how many times he has told Gao Han in the past few years, but Gao Han has never agreed, but Mendes has never given up. Both of them have become accustomed to such communication, and each time it ends with Gao Han waving his hand with a smile.

"According to the news I got in Russia, Russian fertilizer king Rebonolev quietly completed the acquisition of Monaco in the French Ligue 2 League. You know, his value is also 10 billion yuan, and in recent years, Russia and other teams in the first-tier league have also made efforts and their investment is amazing."

Mendes said this and then continued: "I expect that soon, the players' value will increase again on the basis of the current situation, which is probably what happened in recent years."

The economy is in a recession, and various safe-haven funds have poured into professional football. Driven by hot money, various teams have burned money. Professional football has ushered in a period of rapid development. On one hand, major leagues and major giants have operated globally, with their world influence rapidly increasing, and their income has been rising steadily, but on the other hand, player transfer fees and annual salary have also continued to rise.

Gao Han had long foreseeed this situation, but now it has just begun.

Just like Fulham's midfielder Dembele, the player performed well in Fulham, but due to the overall level of the team, it did not attract too much attention, but it attracted the attention of London teams such as Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal.

The Belgian midfielder has only one year left for the contract with Fulham. In this case, Fulham still insists on the price of 20 million euros and refuses to put it. This is the price of the termination fee in Dembele's contract.

In this regard, Arsenal took the initiative to wait and see, hoping to put pressure on Fulham, or negotiate a more advantageous price during the winter break, and even get a visa exemption a year later, but Tottenham Hotspur took action directly, with 20 million euros and directly bought Dembele.

Hulk, who plays for Porto, can sell for a sky-high price of 60 million euros. So how much should Aubameyang, who plays for Chinatown and has shown strength in La Liga and the Champions League?

Vitsel can sell for 40 million euros, and Dembele can sell for 20 million euros with only one year left in the contract. What about Herrera and Rakitic? How many can they sell?

"This transfer market is too crazy." Gao Han shook his head and sighed.

Mendes laughed and asked, "Isn't it good to be crazy?"

For him, madness is of course a good thing, and even for Gao Han and Chinatown, it is not a bad thing.

At least in recent years, Chinatown has made a lot of money by selling people continuously. Armando Marcos outlined for the club to build a Chinatown that integrates tourism, shopping and leisure and entertainment around the new stadium in the southern suburbs of Madrid, which also requires the club to continue to increase investment.

In the planning of Gaohan and the club, we hope to make this place a landmark attraction in the southern suburbs of Madrid and a distribution center for countless Chinese and even foreign tourists to Spain.

And all these require money.

"Have you told Carlos and Armando about Aubameyang?" Gao Han asked.

Mendes nodded, "Your technical director and general manager agree."

"Ha, then you still ask me?" Gao Han was a little amused.

"But they all said you have to nod."

Gao Han nodded, "Okay, since they all agree, I have nothing to say, but I have a request."

"you say."

"Aubameyang's liquidated damages are 60 million euros, but I think it's too cheap, add a Kante."

"Kante?" Mendes racked his brains and thought for a while, finally remembering, "It was the short midfielder you brought in from Boulogne?"

Since being introduced to Paris Saint-Germain, this player has not received much attention. He has only played in the French Cup several times and played a substitute in the league and Europa League several times. He has received much attention as midfielder Matuidi, and no one cares about it at all.

"Marcos Senna is going to retire. A team from the Major League team invites him to play for a high salary. We need a midfielder to compete with Ilia La Mendy and rotate."

Although Gao Han only said something lightly, Mendes keenly smelled an abnormality.
Chapter completed!
