The influence of the Abu Dhabi Consortium's takeover of Manchester City was no less than that of Abramovich's acquisition of Chelsea.
Because people had witnessed the impact of the golden dollar football on the football world.
When Al Fasim's influence was soaring, Real Madrid poured a bucket of cold water on them!
Manchester City's offer to Real Madrid was not timed well, and their tone was very big.
The way Al Fasim hoped to bring the club's influence actually made it difficult for other clubs to do so.
They waved money to buy players, and they had to do it so that everyone knew.
This was very unpleasant behavior. Everyone liked to do negotiations or deals between clubs in private. Once it was over and announced, it was a done deal and everyone was happy.
When nothing was done and it was made public, it would bring a lot of resistance to the negotiations.
The fans were a lot of resistance!
When Real Madrid held the Treble celebration parade, the players sat on the bus and enjoyed the cheers of the fans all over the city. Calderón was also interviewed at the celebration event.
The big-mouthed president talked eloquently and constantly boasted about Real Madrid's great achievements.
"The best in history! Not only the best team in Real Madrid's history, but no team in the history of European football can be as great as Real Madrid! "
No one was surprised by Calderón's boasting at this time.
It would be rare if he kept a low profile.
It was at this time that the Real Madrid Club received the offer from Manchester City.
At the same time, there was an offer for Ramos of £30 million.
Mijatović received a call from the staff informing him of Manchester City's offer.
One hundred million pounds to buy Qin Xiong!
Thirty million pounds to buy Ramos!
This was the real deal, not as unreliable as bragging in front of the media.
If Real Madrid was willing to negotiate, they might be able to make the transfer fee higher!
If it were other non-important players, or if the amount was not so huge, the staff would certainly not want to disturb the president and the football director on the day of the celebration parade. It would not be a big problem to delay a few hours and wait until the parade was over to inform them.
But after seeing the offer from Manchester City, the staff repeatedly confirmed the decimal point and the number of zeros in the offer for Qin Xiong.
One hundred million pounds!
Who would dare to delay such a "big deal"?
Therefore, he immediately informed Mijatović.
Mijatovic was really frightened.
Back then, Abramovich's 100 million euro offer for Raúl was already considered a shocking transfer price.
Florentino also agreed, but Raúl was unwilling to leave Bernabéu.
Today, five years later, Real Madrid once again received a bid of 100 million, and it was in pounds!
Who would remain indifferent?
Mijatovic also felt that the matter was serious and had to interrupt Calderón's interview.
Calderón was not in a good mood. It was not easy for him to open his mouth and speak freely. Naturally, he was unhappy to be interrupted.
After hearing what Mijatović told him, Calderón was stunned at first, and then immediately cursed.
"One hundred million pounds? We won't sell Qin Xiong even if it's a billion pounds! Does Manchester City think they can do whatever they want because they have money? Tell them to figure out the rules of football first! "
Calderón's voice was very loud in his rage, as if he deliberately said it for the media to hear.
The big-mouthed president did sometimes shoot his mouth off, but it did not mean that he was completely brainless.
After listening to Mijatovic's report, he immediately turned his mind. He knew that Manchester City had already made a public statement. At this time, Real Madrid must immediately show a clear attitude!
There could not be a trace of hesitation.
Consider?
Consider my ass!
One hundred million pounds did not go into Calderón's own pocket. He could only benefit from both sides if he sat in the position of Real Madrid's president.
Consider Manchester City's offer? Maybe the fans outside, who were wildly celebrating Real Madrid's Treble, would rush in and tear him apart!
But he did have annoyance in his heart.
Manchester City did not know the rules at all!
How could they make it known to the whole city as soon as they came?
Moreover, what kind of trick was this?
They had just come into contact with Real Madrid and they wanted to dig up the core of Real Madrid. It was like rushing into my house and tearing down my house!
Therefore, Calderón simply expressed his stance without mercy.
The reporter who was interviewing him obviously heard Calderón's words and understood what had happened.
Manchester City wanted to buy Qin Xiong and made an initial offer of one hundred million pounds!
He could also see that Calderón was putting on a show. Although there were lies in the truth, his position should still be firm.
Qin Xiong must not be sold!
He stepped forward and smiled slightly. "Mr. President, you said last season that Qin Xiong was worth two hundred million pounds. If Manchester City offered two hundred million pounds, would Real Madrid consider it? Not one billion pounds. "
Calderón did not expect the reporter to rebuke him. He pretended to be at a loss and asked, "Did I say that?"
The reporter raised his eyebrows and held back his laughter. He nodded and said, "You said it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the person next to you."
The reporter motioned for Mijatovic to testify.
Mijatovic was in a difficult position. He could imagine that if he also had selective amnesia, the joke of Real Madrid's president and football director pretending to be stupid would spread throughout the streets of Madrid.
Of the two Real Madrid players, one was enough to pretend to be stupid.
Mijatovic gave Calderón a helpless look and nodded. "There is such a thing."
The reporter spread his hands and was still pushing Calderón.
Calderón scratched his head and laughed a few times.
"Ha, hahaha, is there? Why don't I remember? Then I was also talking about Qin Xiong last season. The value of a player is not constant. How much did Arsenal spend to bring in Qin Xiong? How much did Real Madrid spend? This question is really boring. Qin Xiong has broken so many records and won so many honors this season. He is extraordinary. No matter how much money other teams pay, Real Madrid will not let Qin Xiong leave. "
After Calderón finished speaking, Mijatovic immediately added, "Besides, Qin Xiong is already playing for the greatest club in the world. He has won more honors here. He can become a legend in Real Madrid. Why would he leave? He is very happy in Real Madrid. "
The reporter was still making things difficult on this topic and said, "But Manchester City will give Qin Xiong a very good deal, won't they? They can spend 100 million pounds to bring in Qin Xiong. How much salary will they give him? 10 million pounds? Or more? "
Calderón could only laugh dryly. "Qin Xiong is a child who is fighting for his football dream. He can already make a lot of money. He will not abandon his dream for money. He can have a high income in Real Madrid and achieve his dream. He does not have to give up anything to live a perfect life!"
The reporter spread his hands and said, "Then Real Madrid will have to give him a new contract that will satisfy him."
