Chapter 182: Inter Milan offer

Ronaldo had no competition missions in June, but he had a series of advertisements, shows, photo plans, etc., and was busy until July before returning to his home in Rio de Janeiro.

Ricardo never had time to go back and only contacted Ronaldo by phone, but Ronaldo never offered to come to São Paulo.

What was his sudden visit for?

When the training ended, the players returned home one after another, and Ricardo went to meet with Ronaldo.

The club originally intended to entertain Ronaldo, but was rejected by Ronaldo. The two brothers did not go outside to avoid being disturbed by the fans. They returned to the house rented by Ricardo for the nanny to make a dinner.

Legend has it that Cristiano Ronaldo invited a private tutor with his transfer fee, which was promoted as a symbol of Cristiano Ronaldo's professionalism; Ricardo paid a large price for a nanny who would cook nutritional meals.

At the dinner table, they chatted casually. After the meal, Rico returned to his own room. Ronaldo sat on the sofa and finally said, "I'm here today for your transfer."

"What about my transfer?" Ricardo didn't know why.

"After the South American Liberator Cup ended, Inter made contact with São Paulo, you know?"

Ricardo nodded. In fact, he had already learned that Oriali and Fara had contacted and provided a tentative contract offer, and the terms were quite sincere.

"But it wasn't negotiated at the time," Ronaldo shrugged. "Inter Milan's initial offer was $ 7 million, and it eventually increased to $ 10 million. Sao Paulo has not let up."

Ricardo was a little dissatisfied: "Why not just activate my liquidated damages clause? It's only $ 15 million."

"After all, the economic situation has not been good last year until now," Ronaldo said. "Mr. Moratti can't afford too much money. And the club's signings are not just for you, there are other great things."

Ricardo was a little bit upset: "It's just a $ 5 million difference. I don't believe I can't get this money."

Ronaldo was a little embarrassed: "It's really not a big number, but Inter really appreciates you and hope you can join."

"So they asked you to be a lobbyist? Persuading São Paulo to accept a $ 10 million offer?"

"Well, that's right, in fact, I hope you can cooperate with it." Ronaldo is no longer implied, but explicit.

Ricardo understood for a few seconds, but he sneered: "This is impossible. Dada, I very much hope to fight alongside you, but I will never make a strike or a move for my own benefit. To beat the club. I am a professional player! "

Ronaldo sighed: "In this case, your transfer may be a little more twisty."

Ricardo was unmoved: "Then don't transfer for the time being, even if I have signed a contract with me now, I will not be able to land in Serie A next year. I will play for another year and let Inter Milan see, I am worth it Not worth 15 million. "

Several big transfers in the summer of 2002 and the winter of 2003. If you look at the same position, the cost of Divayo's transfer to Juventus is about 28 million US dollars, and Anelka's transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Manchester City About $ 18 million, and Inter Milan sold half of Adriano's ownership to Palma for $ 15 million. Ricardo never considers himself worse than the three.

"It's definitely worth it. If you have an EU passport, the club is willing to pay even 30 million U.S. dollars," Ronaldo laughed. "Don't you really think about it?"

"Don't think about it. Dadado, I have my way of doing things. I am serious about football."

Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh again. "Well, I'll talk to Mr. Juventio tomorrow, hoping for a good result."

Speaking of this, Ronaldo took the initiative to shift the topic, not wanting to cause Ricardo's unhappiness.

The next day, Ronaldo and Juventio met, but the results were very unsatisfactory. Facing the first person in the world football, Juventio's attitude is very clear: Either spend 15 million US dollars to activate Ricardo's breach of contract clauses, or avoid talking.

After Ronaldo returned to Rio de Janeiro, Juventio and Ricardo had an interview, both inside and outside, hoping to renew the contract with Ricardo.

Ricardo signed this contract for only half a year. Of course, he didn't want to renew his contract immediately, because even if Sao Paulo pays him the top salary, it will be many times less than the salary offered by the European club, but he will definitely increase his termination fee. Create obstacles for his transfer next year.

But Juventio's attitude was also very firm. Ricardo didn't want to offend him too much. He had to play around for a while and let Farah and Juventio start negotiations, but set the conditions a little higher and talk slowly.

It's not good to talk. If he doesn't show a cooperative attitude, the club can completely press him on the bench and prevent him from playing.

It's not like last year. Last year he was free. If the club dares to use this method, he can directly transfer and leave.

But soon, Ricardo's embarrassment was lifted. In addition to Inter Milan, several other giants have started quoting to São Paulo, including AC Milan, Rome, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal and so on.

Among them, Bayern, Liverpool and other offers are tentative, and after being rejected once or twice, they are in a wait-and-see state; Real Madrid and AC Milan are really determined to sign Ricardo. After being rejected a few times, they opened the Ricardo directly. More termination clauses.

Kaka, who has basically reached an agreement with ac Milan, also visits Ricardo from time to time to act as a lobbyist for ac Milan.

Ricardo asked Fara not to rush into contract negotiations with these two clubs just use their offer as a bargaining chip to deal with the club.

What made Ricardo angry was that in such a big scene, Inter Milan did not raise its offer. Really think you're going to eat me?

Although Inter Milan is also a great giant, Ricardo would not want to go if Ronaldo was not there.

However, this season's Inter Milan seems to be really stretched out on the transfer funds. It only introduced the super substitutes Cruise from Argentina, Van der Meade, Luciano, Kiligo Gonzalez, Brechet, at a very low price. Karagounis and others had almost no more than 10 million signings throughout the process.

It is understandable that Inter Milan has doubts about spending 15 million dollars. After all, this is no longer the golden age of Serie A. Now that Serie A has gone downhill, the stars have left, and the salary structure is no longer the top in the world.

So Ricardo thought for a long time, and decided to renew the contract with São Paulo, of course, the contract cancellation fee should not be too high, and next season, he seeks a transfer. In the following year, he will use the performance to impress Inter Milan and let Inter Milan know that even if it costs him 20 million or 30 million to introduce him, it is worth it.
