"Okay. But, Chen, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Why so much nonsense? Just say it."

"Judging from the current situation, these scouts are from Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan."

"Among them, Real Madrid has the largest number of scouts. Only one was discovered before, but it has recently increased to three."

Good guys, are these wealthy clubs coming to the Crystal Palace to party?

In addition to the top teams in the Premier League, which are already very familiar with Crystal Palace players, there are many top clubs in the five major leagues.

"Real Madrid has the largest number of scouts, so does that mean they have the strongest willingness to make a move for Crystal Palace?"

For professional matters, Chen Ran still needs to seek the advice of professional Louis.

"Yes, that's understandable. And they were added later, which shows that their willingness to poach us is still growing."

After listening to the little fat man's analysis, Chen Ran nodded slightly.

Although he renewed the contracts of all Crystal Palace players in the summer, Real Madrid's attraction to stars is no joke.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran thought of the "rich family qualification certification" that he participated in. This is probably the attraction of the top wealthy families. I really hope that Crystal Palace can also obtain the qualifications of a wealthy family as soon as possible.

However, only defending without attacking has never been Chen Ran's style.

Although Chen Ran has nothing to do with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich for the time being.

But for Juventus and AC Milan, Chen Ran is not polite.

Just next year, the famous "Italian phone scandal" will break out.

In addition to Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan will be hit hard.

There are many top stars in these two teams.

For example, Ibrahimovic of Juventus and Kaká of AC Milan.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran turned to look at the little fat man.

"Louis, you will go to Italy yourself later."

"Italy? Chen, are you going to make big moves again?"

As soon as he heard Chen Ran's arrangement, the little fat man immediately became energetic. He had a hunch that Chen Ran was going to play something big this time.

"Well, you go visit two people, one is Ibrahimovic of Juventus, and the other is Kaká of AC Milan."

"Gudu!"

Hearing these two thundering names, the little fat man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He had always expected Chen Ran to bring in some big-name players, but he didn't expect Chen Ran to be so big this time.

This is to directly poach the stars of the two giants Juventus and AC Milan.

"Um...Chen, it's not that I underestimate our Crystal Palace. With our club's current status, I'm afraid we won't be able to recruit these two stars."

The little fat man seriously doubted whether Chen Ran was stimulated by the fact that these wealthy clubs sent scouts to the Crystal Palace.

Let him take such a big step all at once, it's easy to pull his balls.

"I know, I didn't ask you to go poach people now."

"Then what do you mean?"

The little fat man asked in confusion.

"When you go to visit these two people this time, you only need to express our Crystal Palace's wish to introduce them, and then you can come back."

"???"

The little fat man is getting more and more confused now. What is this doing? Just to spread a message?

"Chen, is this really all there is?"

"Of course. The summer transfer period is over. What are you going to do if you don't come back?"

"If you just want to send a message, you can just send someone. Do you still need me to go there in person?"

"It would be more sincere if you go in person. Louis, the time for us to take action is next summer. Now we are just making some preparations in advance. Do you understand?"

"Uh...Chen, I'm not pouring cold water on you. Even next summer, it will be difficult for our Crystal Palace to recruit these two people."

Louis looked at Chen Ran with confusion. This guy seemed to be a little off today. Where did his inexplicable confidence come from?

"Don't worry about it. You just need to know one thing, that is, next summer, we may have a chance to win these two people."

Chen Ran had no choice. He couldn't tell the fat man that the "Italian Phone Scandal" would break out next summer.

"Oh, okay, I understand. You are the boss anyway, as long as you know what you are doing."

Just after he finished speaking, the little fat man seemed to think of something again and glanced at Chen Ran hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Seeing the little fat man's expression, Chen Ran asked curiously.

"That's not true, but there is someone I don't know whether I should tell you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything else we can't say between us?"

"Okay. The main thing is Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola. This guy is not an easy person to deal with. If we really want to introduce Ibrahimovic, then you can

We must be more vigilant.”

"Is that the big fat guy?"

"That's right. What? Chen, do you know him too?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of it."

"Since you have heard about this guy, I'm relieved. Anyway, this guy is very difficult, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing the reminder from the little fat man, the image of the big fat man immediately appeared in Chen Ran's mind.

There's no way, that guy's appearance is too obvious.

However, although Raiola is known for his greed, you have to admire him. The clients of his company are often talented stars.

For example, Ibrahimovic now, Pogba and Harland in the future, and even Balotelli who has not played due to personality reasons.

Raiola's ability to gather these talented players from different countries into his own hands is really impressive.

In contrast, Mendes, another future agent boss, has a more concentrated source of players. Most of them are Portuguese players, and there are also some South American players.

And compared to Raiola, Mendes's stars are a bit out of touch.

After Cristiano Ronaldo, he has never produced a star that can make people feel that he stands out from the crowd.

However, if you look at it from a reputation perspective, Mendes can throw Raiola a few blocks away.

Raiola is known to be greedy and desperate for money.

The major clubs both hate him and have to fawn over him.

Because in Raiola's hands, he can always find players with excellent talents. While making people hate him, they are also reluctant to give up the players in his hands.

Moreover, it is easier to make a deal with Raiola. As long as the money is enough, anything can be discussed.

Mendes' style is completely different from Raiola's.

He pays more attention to win-win or even multiple wins.

In a transfer transaction, Mendes always hopes to not only meet the player's requirements, but also satisfy the clubs on both sides of the transaction as much as possible.

Although this is often difficult to achieve, at least he tried hard.

This has also allowed Mendes to maintain a good reputation among the senior leaders of major clubs.

And this is also an important reason why Chen Ran was willing to take the Mendes route and invest in his agency when he introduced Cristiano Ronaldo.

Two completely different styles of agents, but both very good.

Now, since I have the idea of ​​​​Ibrahimovic, dealing with Raiola in the future is inevitable.

Chen Ran was also mentally prepared for this.
