Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The new contract is a big deal.

Since Felipe Luis has Italian nationality, there is no need to worry about the work permit.

He also signed a five-year contract with the club.

As for his weekly salary, it is only 10,000 pounds, which is also a good value for money player.

Although he is far from the iron guard who won the league and the Champions League runner-up with Atletico Madrid, it is still no problem to be a rotation player after Evra.

After buying him, and taking back the loaned Schmeichel, the substitute left back and the second goalkeeper will be settled.

Schmeichel performed quite well in Bury. Although Bury's league level is relatively low, Schmeichel has made great progress in these dozens of games.

Yang Luo believed that he could take on the responsibility of the second goalkeeper well in the next season.

Next, his main task was to buy a central defender.

And he already had a target at this time, that is, the Serbian central defender who is now in Spartak Moscow, Nemanja Vidic!

This central defender is the cornerstone player of Manchester United in the future. As long as he does not meet Torres in the Premier League, he is an absolutely invincible central defender.

And Torres is still in his team, so his only shortcoming does not exist.

So Yang Luo decisively called Bernstein and came to Moscow together.

Leonid Fedun, the owner of Spartak Moscow, received them.

The Russian oil tycoon took over Spartak Moscow last year and spent a lot of money to take Vidic.

His net worth should not be much less than Abramovich, so he is not short of money at all.

How to convince him became a headache for Yang Luo and Bernstein.

I don’t know how Manchester United convinced him to accept the 7 million pounds offer at that time.

Moreover, there is a disadvantage now, that is, the Russian Super League is still in progress, and Spartak Moscow may not be willing to let go of its main central defender during the season.

However, no matter how difficult it is, they have to give it a try.

Sure enough, when they proposed to buy Vidic, Leonid Fedun showed an embarrassment on his face.

The oil tycoon looked at them: "Vidic is an excellent player. We paid a lot to bring him from Serbia last summer. And now it is the middle of the season, we don't want to let go of our main central defender easily."

Yang Luo's heart moved, and he immediately felt that this transfer was possible.

Because he did not firmly reject them, but first said that they paid a great price.

This means that as long as they pay a greater price, then this deal is possible!

So he said, "Mr. Feton, we understand what you mean. So we are willing to pay eight million pounds for Vidic."

Leonid Feton shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, this price is not enough to impress us."

Yang Luo frowned slightly. This price has exceeded Manchester United's offer. He refused without any hesitation?

But Vidic was a player he had to get, so he didn't hesitate: "We are willing to pay nine million pounds."

Leonid Feton smiled and shook his head.

Yang Luo knew that it would be difficult to impress the rich man by simply raising the price, so he changed his mind: "If you are worried that no one will replace Vidic after he leaves, I can let him join the team in the winter transfer window."

In his opinion, the team has four genuine central defenders, Uifalusi, Distin, Kompany and Lescott, in the first half of the season, so there should be no problem.

As a result, Leonid Fedon immediately smiled: "This is a good idea. In this way, my psychological price for Vidic is 10 million pounds."

Yang Luo nodded happily when he heard it.

Eight million is his value, and the remaining 2 million is the idea of ​​buying out Manchester United. It is not a loss to think so.

After reaching an agreement with the club, the rest is to negotiate with the player himself.

When they started negotiating with Vidic's agent, they learned why Leonid Fedon would sell Vidic at such a low price.

Because there is a clause between them. As long as there is a Champions League-level team to buy, Spartak Moscow cannot use a high price to prevent the transfer.

Yang Luo laughed and scolded when he heard it. Leonid Fedon is really an old fox.

If I had known earlier, I would have known that there would be a

For this kind of agreement, he could just ask for a transfer in the summer window.

Soon, the two sides agreed on a five-year contract.

However, since Vidic's salary at Spartak Moscow was not low, his weekly salary was set at 40,000 pounds.

After everything was settled, Yang Luo stopped Vidic: "Nemanja, if I want to cooperate with local clubs in Serbia and Montenegro, do you have any good suggestions?"

Yes, he wanted to expand his football network in Serbia and Montenegro.

He had two purposes.

First, there will be many football talents in Serbia and Montenegro in the future. If he established connections in Serbia and Montenegro, then there would be opportunities for Matic and Milinkovic in the future.

Second, he wanted to connect with the Football Association in Serbia and Montenegro, so that he could help Johansson get votes.

More importantly, they will officially separate next year, and they will have two votes by then!

This made Yang Luo feel that this was a very good deal.

Vidic was stunned after hearing this, wondering what the boss was doing?

Yang Luo certainly knew that this nonsense would make Vidic confused, but he had already thought of a set of rhetoric: "I am very optimistic about the football prospects of Serbia and Montenegro, and I think your country has many potential players. I want to establish some cooperation with major clubs in Serbia and Montenegro so that I can get more high-level players. Besides, I am a Chinese, and my motherland has always had a very close relationship with your country, so I also want to help the young players in your country."

This remark immediately touched Vidic.

His motherland has been in turmoil for many years, and the living conditions of the players are not very good.

So if there is such a rich man willing to help, it is indeed good news for the young players in their country.

When he thought of this, he immediately said that it was no problem and would do his best to help Yang Luo.

Vidic is already a main player in the national team at this time, and he still has a certain reputation in Serbia and Montenegro.

If he is the one to do this, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

But before that, they still have to complete Vidic's transfer procedures.

After arranging a medical examination for him, the doctor said that Vidic's physical condition was completely fine.

So, on June 2, 2005, Manchester City officially announced that Serbian central defender Vidic would join the team when the winter transfer window opened!
