Mendes did not leave Spain, he just went to Madrid, and then secretly went to meet someone, a person destined to be a staggering figure in European football this summer - Florentino.

The former Real Madrid president is still continuing to increase his campaign chips. Just a few days ago, Valdano brought him good news from Milan. Galliani verbally agreed to release Kaka. Yesterday, the same good news came from England. Benitez did not refuse their inquiry for Xavi Alonso. Today, Florentino is preparing to meet Mendes in person.

Of course there is only one topic, that is, Florentino’s biggest goal in summer: Ronaldo.

In fact, at this time, Florentino's team did not reach an agreement with the stubborn old man in England. According to regulations, Real Madrid cannot have private contact. However, Florentino is still not the chairman of Real Madrid, and Mendes himself and Florentino are friends. Therefore, this ban that is often violated is actually useless.

The meeting between Florentino and Mendes lasted for an hour. No one knew what they had talked about specifically. They only knew that Mendes left with a smile and Florentino smiled and saw him off.

After seeing Mendes off, Florentino returned to his office and began to recall his conversation with Mendes just now. Mendes supported Ronaldo's transfer. Florentino had long known this that the agent relied on commissions. Although there were commissions for renewal, it was obviously not high. Therefore, his and Mendes' topic about Ronaldo was not so much about exploring the possibility of a transfer, but rather discussing how to convince Ferguson to be more accurate.

However, Florentino was inexplicably concerned about another thing. A thing that Mendes seemed to ask casually at the end. Mendes asked him if there was a head coach candidate. His answer was that there was no one for the time being. Then Mendes proposed a name that surprised him. It was unexpected, but it was not surprising, because he actually heard this name from Valdano, and the surprise was because he didn't expect to hear it from Mendes again.

Lin Sen.

Florentino originally looked down on Lin Sen, even though his identity would be very beneficial to Real Madrid's brand promotion in Asia. Even if Lin Sen led Malaga to steal a Copa del Rey from Barcelona in the past season, the reason for this, to put it bluntly, is that the game is not suitable for the wrong team.

The selection criteria for Real Madrid head coaches are not entirely decided by Florentino alone, but by him and his team. Florentino is very wise, and professional matters should be decided by more professionals. Of course, Linsen was not in the scope of consideration, but Valdano, who had originally visited Pellegrini, had a low evaluation of the Chilean engineers after watching the match between Malaga and Villarreal, but was deeply impressed by Linsen. Of course, he said that at that time and did not really consider Linsen.

If Bardano has evidence to mention Linson, then Mendes' mention of Mendes surprised Florentino because in Florentino's view, Mendes and Linson are two irrelevant people.

At this time, Mendes told him that he was going to sign a contract with Linsen.

Then, Florentino smiled and refused to say anything, while Mendes smiled and clicked until it stopped.

Florentino is not the only one who thinks Mendes is "joking". When Mendes raised the name Linson on the phone, Abramovich, who was enjoying the sun on his yacht, also felt that Mendes was joking. However, Abramovich asked more than Florentino, why?

It was to ask Mendes why he signed with Lin Sen, and why Mendes thought Lin Sen was qualified to coach the wealthy family.

Mendes only answered one sentence: Linson was the head coach and manager of Malaga last season.

Abramovich was a little surprised. Of course, he understood what Mendes said. Although he was not familiar with Malaga, he would not forget to eliminate Chelsea from Barcelona in the Champions League so quickly. Malaga is one of the few teams that beat Barcelona last season, and it was in the finals. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Malaga's entire lineup is almost all players who just joined last season. If Linson really served as a manager last season, then...

"What a pity." Abramovich said it was a pity, but his tone did not mean any regret, and he was even a little excited.

"Peter has reached an agreement with Carlo, who will be Chelsea's new head coach next season."

Carlo, that is, Carlo Ancelotti, who just resigned from AC Milan's head coach position, has always been the ideal head coach in Abramovich's mind after firing Mourinho. However, Ancelotti was unwilling to leave Milan last season, so Abramovich settled for the second best to hire Scolari. Obviously, this time, Abramovich finally got what he wanted.

After hanging up the conversation with Abu, Mendes's mouth showed an inexplicable smile.

He continuously recommended Lin Sen to Florentino and Abramovich. If this is entirely due to Mendes' commitment to Lin Sen, it is naturally impossible. Neither Real Madrid nor Chelsea will accept Lin Sen. Mendes had already said this when he met Lin Sen. Therefore, Mendes' actions are more like temptation than recommendation. Test how much weight he can occupy in Florentino's mind and how much weight he has in Abramovich's mind.

Unfortunately, the answer is no. But that doesn't matter, because it's just the beginning.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After going to Rome's Olympic Stadium to watch Barcelona beat Manchester United, who entered the Champions League final with a score of 2-0, for two consecutive seasons, Mendes came to Malaga again.

This time, he came specifically for his agency contract with Lin Sen. Since Lin Sen had no objection to the contract, the signing process went very quickly. After a simple handshake, Mendes became Lin Sen's agent for the next three years.

Then, Mendes gave Linson a name.

A name that Linson never dreamed of: Manchester City!

"Manchester City's head coach Kassel has confirmed that he will return to the youth team to work, so they need a new head coach in the new season. This is only internal news for the time being. Manchester City has not officially announced yet. Although I don't know if they already have candidates, I think this is a good opportunity. What do you think?" Mendes said.

I think?

Do you think I can be picky about Manchester City?

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses because he thought that at this time, Manchester City in Mendes' eyes were probably a little different from the Manchester City in his eyes.

To be honest, Manchester City is far from the level of a wealthy family in the eyes of many people. The saying that they are so poor that they only have money is often used as a self-deprecating to show off their wealth, but it is very appropriate to describe Manchester City at this time, because having money is a fact. Just last season, they spent more than 100 million yuan in the transfer market. At the same time, "poverty" is also a fact. As one of the oldest football clubs in England, their honor room is much shabby than their neighbor Manchester United. They have won the top league championship twice, but that was before the birth of the Premier League. Since the birth of the Premier League, they have never won the league championship.

It is somewhat similar to the two Madrid teams. Although Manchester City has always regarded Manchester United as its mortal enemy, Manchester United has never taken its neighbor seriously. Last season, Ferguson called Manchester City's big money in the transfer market more than once, and his contempt was beyond words. The facts did make Ferguson beat the story. Last season's transfer fee of hundreds of millions of dollars, Manchester City, who ranked seventh in the league, received only a lucky UEFA Cup qualification.

Therefore, at this time, Manchester City is far from the Manchester City that has gradually become a giant in Lin Sen's memory, but Manchester City, which can only be called a giant in the transfer market. In addition, Lin Sen quickly calmed down because he thought of one thing, that is, the "job opportunity" mentioned by Mendes now is the difference between the Real Madrid mentioned by Mendes before, and there are only more possibilities.

However, what reason is there to refuse? Lin Sen nodded, but he still asked subconsciously.

"What about Mancini?"

That's right, it's Mancini. In my memory, the former Inter Milan head coach should have taken over Manchester City after Mark Hughes.

"His connection with Manchester City is still in the rumor stage, but if he is interested, then he is a strong competitor for you." Mendes frowned when he heard Linson talking about Mancini.

Competitor?

Lin Sen smiled bitterly in his heart. It was probably not just a competitor. Mendes said it was all implicit, but he knew very well that Mancini, who already had several Serie A champions, was better than a head coach who had only won the Copa del Rey in the eyes of others, no matter how hard he looked at it, wasn't this multiple-choice question?

Unexpectedly, Mendes said another sentence at this time, which made Lin Sen's heart a little open.

"I have had several brief conversations with Mansour, the boss behind Manchester City. Although I can't talk about how deep the relationship is, I'm at least not unfamiliar with it. Unfortunately, Mansour does not directly interfere in the affairs of Manchester City clubs. It's basically Mubarak making the decision. I'm not familiar with him, otherwise..."

Otherwise, what do you want to do?

This is a big-name agent!
