Chapter 551: Not for sale

When Yang Huan was sitting in the presidential suite, talking with Sun Yue and others, H was downstairs, and Barcelona President Sandro Roselle was waiting for the long-awaited knock on the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bartomeu standing outside the door.
"Josep, come in!" Roselle gave in quickly and welcomed his right-hand man in.
As soon as Bartomeu entered Roselle's room, he walked directly to the sofa in the hospitality area and sat down.
"How is the situation?" Roselle chased after closing the door.
Bartomeu shook his head and said: "I talked about Neymar with Belt Hoyt. Nike's attitude is that the sponsorship is easy to talk about, but they will not intervene in this transfer."
"Why?" Roselle was disappointed and curious.
You know, in Southampton, where Neymar is located, the official sponsor is Adidas.
From a certain perspective, Nike should be anxious for Barcelona to sign Neymar.
In this way, can we all work together to develop the Brazilian and South American markets in the next few years?
In addition, the Barcelona team currently has Messi, Sanchez, Mascherano and other South American stars. This is an excellent opportunity. How could Nike miss it in vain?
"Bert Hoyet said that they have a good cooperation with Southampton and are unwilling to have conflicts over this matter."
Bartomeu’s words reminded Russell that when the new training base was built in Southampton, Nike had sponsored 30 million pounds to the Saints and established a mysterious Nike training center.
For this matter, the sports media around the world also reported crazy, thinking that Nike disgusted Adidas.
No one knows what kind of cooperation is involved in this, but I heard that it is very high-end and advanced.
Seeing Roselle's disappointed expression, Bartomeu said: "I learned some news from other channels. I heard that Nike is rushing to sponsor the International Champions Cup with Adidas."
"Sponsorship? Didn't Adidas sign it?" Roselle was a little surprised.
The football used in last year's International Champions Cup was officially sponsored by Adidas. The organizers focused on the two major sponsors of Itihad Airways and Adidas during the promotion and promotion.
Bartomeu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "For this matter, Nike also fired an executive on the grounds that it was not doing well!"
"what happened?"
"As early as the planning stage of the International Champions Cup, Miracle Media contacted Adidas and Nike respectively, but no one knew whether the International Champions Cup would be successful. After all, there was a North American Challenge."
Russell nodded, Barcelona joined in the beginning, it was a generous appearance fee.
"Therefore, both sides did not pay much attention to this event, so Adidas finally signed, but only signed for two years. As a result, last year the first International Champions Cup was an instant hit and directly detonated the American football market. The second edition is making a comeback again. According to surveys conducted by external authoritative organizations, the momentum and popularity are even greater than last year!"
When Bartomeu said so, Roselton understood.
A two-year sponsorship contract, that is, this year is the last year.
Now the International Champions Cup is on fire. Of course, Adidas is desperately trying to renew the contract, but the United States is Nike’s base camp. Now it has suffered a big loss. Of course, it is about to catch up immediately. How can it let it go?
Furthermore, the International Champions Cup may have to expand the army next year. Once the army is expanded, the next battlefield will definitely be in Asia.
That is now the world's economic development momentum is the best, Nike and Adidas are rushing to capture a strategic high ground.
In this case, the International Champions Cup is undoubtedly a great weapon to conquer cities.
Thinking of this, Roselle couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. No wonder Nike is unwilling to offend Southampton!
In this way, the biggest help Nike can give Barcelona is the sponsorship negotiation!
"Right, Josep!" Russell seemed to think of something. "Did Real Madrid also launch an offensive against Neymar?"
"Well, according to the exact information I got, the purpose of Sanchez's trip is to talk about Neymar, and they have already made an offer to Southampton!"
Roselle's eyelids twitched and he panicked, "How much?"
"The specific amount is not very clear, but I heard that it is no less than Cristiano Ronaldo!"
Roselle was so surprised that his mouth opened wide, and he was about to squeeze a fist.
No less than Cristiano Ronaldo?
That's over 100 million!
This will become the first football player with a transfer fee of over 100 million yuan in the history of world football!
"Is the news reliable?" Roselle's voice trembled.
"It should be reliable, but I don't know exactly how many offers Sanchez made to Southampton."
What is the acceptable bottom line for Real Madrid and what is their offer to Southampton are two different things.
But in Roselle's view, Barcelona is completely passive.
"When I offered Yang Huan an offer of 70 million euros, did you notice his expression?"
Bartomeu frowned, a little dazed, he didn't notice.
"I think Real Madrid's offer must be higher than ours, and much higher!"
"What to do then?" Bartomeu panicked.
If Neymar were taken away by Real Madrid, then Barcelona would be too passive.
Adidas has already released a ruthless statement, to fully support Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich and other teams to start poaching Messi, if Messi is dug out, Neymar can not sign, then what is Barcelona good?
You know, Messi is currently the most commercially appealing star in the Barcelona team, and he is also the most threatening attacker on the football field. Without Messi, not only Barcelona will suffer heavy losses, but also Russell and Barto. Mayu, I'm afraid they have to take the blame and resign.
At the very least, fans who don't know the truth will vent all their anger on them.
However, these things, they can not say a word.
Thinking of this, Roselle's eyes flashed with determination.
"Josep, we only have one choice now!"
Bartomeu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Could it be... you want..."
"Yes, you can only do this, take Neymar at all costs!" Russell said harshly.
Bartomeu thought about it again, sighed inwardly, and nodded.
In the current situation, they have only this choice.
"Although the team has performed well in the past few years and can pay a lot of transfer fees, I am afraid it is still strong to compete with Real Madrid for Neymar."
When it comes to borrowing money to buy stars, Florentino's ability has to get rid of them several blocks.
Not much else, Florentino can be a brother to the leaders of all the major banks in Spain, can they?
"Southampton players have always asked for cash transactions again, I'm afraid..." Bartomeu said worryingly.
Roselle nodded, "Then try to add existing players in the transfer transaction, or let Southampton's men show mercy and allow us to pay in installments!"
In the European transfer market, player transfer fees are paid in installments, which is quite normal.
On the contrary, like in Southampton, all purchases and sales are paid in full, which is unusual!
But also because it is paid in full, Southampton always has an advantage in signings, and the price is relatively cheaper.
"Any player?" Bartomeu asked tentatively.
After all, Russell authorized him to negotiate. He has to be sure how much bargaining chips he has at his disposal?
"Except for the core players such as Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, anyone!"
Russell said this weakly, but he was helpless.
The situation has developed to this situation, and he can no longer help it!
"Well, I'll talk to Ron Gurley tomorrow morning!"
"It's best to talk about progress in these two days!"
"Yes, I know!"

On the second day, the Sun Life Stadium in Miami gathered more than a thousand media from all over the world.
Like last year, this year's lottery ceremony was still broadcast live on WeChat video for free to all netizens.
Not only that, the organizer also specially organized some live performances, and invited entertainment superstars including Uncle Bird and Lin Yoona to sing. Even the lottery guests are very powerful football stars like Beckham. .
On the whole, this is a very high-spec drawing ceremony, not even losing to the knockout draw of the Champions League.
Although there are relatively few participating teams, each of them is the best team in Europe.
Coupled with the huge repercussions in the United States last year, the second International Champions Cup is naturally attracting attention.
Southampton eventually won Barcelona, ​​Juventus and Manchester United.
Real Madrid are in the same group as Manchester City, Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
This also makes many fans feel very excited, thinking that the strength of the teams in the two groups are very good, are veritable strong teams in Europe, such a game is undoubtedly quite worth seeing.
But what makes fans even more excited is that in the past few days of the International Champions Cup draw, there have been messages sent from the United States to all over the world.
For example, Manchester United has taken a fancy to Southampton’s Chilean midfielder Vidal, with a transfer fee of up to 60 million euros.
But in a blink of an eye, news came out that Arsenal and Real Madrid are also interested in the Chile international.
But soon, this news was overwhelmed by Neymar's transfer rumors.
The Sun newspaper took the lead in breaking the news and took photos of Ron Gurley and Barcelona Vice Chairman Bartomeu having dinner at the Wangjiangge Chinese Restaurant branch in Miami, revealing that Neymar is infinitely close to Barcelona.
But the Marca newspaper quickly gave another piece of news, that is, when Real Madrid general manager Sanchez accepted the Marca newspaper, he made no secret that Real Madrid's number one signing target this summer is Neymar!
Even Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, who is as far away as Spain, said in an interview with Aspen newspaper that Neymar is an exciting superstar and a player that all coaches dream of!
But in just two or three days~EbookFREE.me~ the media all over the world were excited about Neymar’s transfer, but Yang Huan reiterated in an interview with a reporter from the New York Times, " Mar is not for sale!"
This also immediately made Neymar's transfer become confusing again.
In the following days, Neymar’s father and his agent also stood up for interviews, saying that Neymar was excited about the invitations from Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the most important thing at the moment was to help Southampton continue to pursue Manchester United.
And when Neymar’s transfer rumors were heated up, the Sun, which has always been known for all-pervasiveness, once again broke the news.
Not only is Neymar being watched by the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​another player of the Devil's Wings, Gareth Bale, is also listed as the number one signing target for this summer by Manchester City. The transfer fee is expected to be as high as five. Ten million pounds.
This has once again excited the media all over the world.
Could it be that Southampton will be poached by the giants again this summer?
