Chapter 580 Transfer

.., the days of playing football with Ronaldo

At Liccardo's request, Queens Park Rangers has not released news about the club's change of ownership for the time being, and employees have been asked not to disclose it to the outside world for the time being.

Ricardo wants to negotiate the conditions for leaving the team with Manchester United first.

As he expected, the negotiations were very difficult. Manchester United did not want to let him go easily, and Mourinho did not want him to leave either.

"If you can't keep me, I will definitely leave." When meeting alone with Manchester United CEO David Gill, Ricardo said firmly. He must clearly state his attitude and not give the other party any possibility of fantasy.

"I don't want you to leave, but as long as a team's bid reaches 200 million pounds, you can go." David Gill also lost his patience and finally gave the conditions.

"Haha," Liccardo laughed, "I have brought so many championships to the team, and now you want to set up obstacles for me to leave?"

David Gill said blankly: "Business is business. I think the price I gave is very reasonable. You are the new champion and you are worth so much. Any team that wants to take you away must pay 200 million pounds .”

"What about another approach," Liccardo said, "I will negotiate with the team to terminate the contract."

"I will not agree. You still have 3 years of contract with the team. Before that, I hope you can play for the team with peace of mind. If you agree, I will immediately send your agent a generous contract extension The contract is absolutely lucrative." David Gill threw out the bait.

"I just want to leave now," Ricardo shook his head. "David, don't force me. Please negotiate with me to terminate the contract. I don't need any compensation from the club. On the contrary, I will give the club some compensation."

"The team bought you for 140 million euros, why do you think we will let you go without paying anything?" David Gill was annoyed, and his attitude became a little aggressive.

"The team exchanged me with Ronaldo and money, not directly paying 140 million euros. Besides, the money I earned for the team has already exceeded this amount," Ricardo said calmly, "Please and I'm negotiating a termination."

"This is impossible!"

"Then I'll retire," Ricardo threw out his last bomb, "At worst, I won't play football for a year and come back next year. I'm just making less money. I'm not afraid. There are no big games recently, and I don't need to keep playing football." state."

David Gill was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. The tall man was speechless for a moment.

at a loss.

"How about it, David, can you think about it?"

David Gill swallowed hard, "Why do you have to leave? If you stay at Manchester United, we can give you anything."

"I just want to chase my dream," Ricardo said, "I will give you three options. First, put me on the transfer market at a price of 100 million euros. Second, negotiate with me to terminate the contract. The lawyer will come to discuss compensation with you. Third, I will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce my retirement."

David Gill suddenly felt relaxed.

He was relieved that there was an additional "price tag of 100 million euros" option.

Between letting Ricardo leave for free and selling for 100 million euros, a fool would choose the latter.

If Liccardo had said from the beginning that he would leave with a transfer fee of 100 million euros, Gil would never let go.

But when comparing the two options of negotiated termination and retirement, the option of cashing out 100 million euros for Ricardo seems so tempting.

David Gill swallowed hard: "Can you let me think about it for a few more days?"

"If I don't get a positive answer from you, I will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce my retirement." Ricardo did not give him a chance to delay.

"I must ask Mr. Glaze for instructions."

"Then call right away," Ricardo got up, "I hope to hear from you tonight. David, I have enjoyed my two years at Manchester United. I hope we can maintain this friendship."

Back at his residence, when Liccardo was holding Olivia in his arms to watch Brazil's friendly match against Romania, a call came in from David Gill.

"Liccardo, the club will listen to any offer for you over €100 million."

"Thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Olivia huddled comfortably in Liccardo's arms, raised her head and asked, "Is it done?"

"Well, it's done."

"I'll start looking for a house in London tomorrow."

"good."

"Aren't you going to participate in this America's Cup?"

Liccardo touched her long, silky hair tenderly: "I won't go, I will be very busy during this holiday. Dunga also wants to train the newcomers."

"kindness."

The two watched quietly for a while. The game was very dull. Although the Brazilian team had the advantage, it always lacked the means to score goals.

After the World Cup, Ricardo only participated in three friendly matches and has refused to be called up, as have most of the star players.

In the next two or three years, there will be a lot of friendly matches, because the Brazilian team is both the champion in 2010 and the host of the 2014 World Cup. They will directly advance to the finals and do not need to play qualifiers. The team needs to train newcomers and maintain their state through a large number of friendly matches .

Ricardo negotiated with Dunga, he will focus on the club in the next two years, only participate in two or three friendly matches each year, and train with the team, Dunga has agreed.

"By the way," Liccardo said suddenly, "do you want to be the president of the club?"

"What?" Olivia thought she heard wrongly.

"Chairman of qpr, I think you are quite suitable."

"Why don't you act inappropriately?"

"You can't be both the jersey and the chairman. The rules don't allow it!" Liccardo laughed, "Madam Chairman - it sounds nice. Let's give it a try? Just treat it as an extracurricular practice activity."

"let me consider it."

"Don't think about it for too long."

…

On July 1, the first day the transfer window opened, Manchester United officially released the big news: "Liccardo has officially left the team. Thank you for the 9 championships and countless happiness he has brought us in the past two years, and wish him all the best." .”

As soon as this news was released, there were tens of thousands of messages, and most fans couldn't believe it.

"Is this a joke? Today is not April Fool's Day."

"Are the club's top management collectively insane? Why do they want to sell Liccardo?"

"From now on, Manchester United will be black for the rest of my life."

"Death to the Glazer family!"

"Where did Ricardo transfer to?"

Soon everyone's doubts were answered.

"Welcome Liccardo to join. In the new season, he will wear the No. 10 jersey and fight for the team." This is the news released by the official Twitter of Queens Park Rangers.

For Queens Park Rangers fans, happiness comes too suddenly.

"God, is this true? God, this is the best news I've ever heard in my life!"

"I'm almost suffocating with happiness! When will the season tickets for the new season be on sale?"

"It will cost a lot of money to buy Liccardo. When did our club become so rich?"

"Is that stingy Italian finally willing to invest money in the team?"
