Goal.com José Veiga, the former agent of Luis Figo, has exposed a startling fact behind the player’s hugely controversial move from Barcelona to arch nemesis, Real Madrid in 2000. Veiga, who is currently the chairman of English League One side, Swindon Town has revealed how former Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez managed to pull off one of the biggest shocks in transfer history by snapping up Luis Figo from Barcelona for €65 million. Accoring to Sport, Veiga disclosed that he had signed a pre-agreement with Pé rez, who was running against Lorenzo Sanz for the club’s presidency then, to bring Figo to the Bernabéu. He then claimed that the main reason he signed the document was to pressure Barcelona into accepting a contract improvement for the player, in addition to pocketing a handsome €3 million in commission. What Veiga didn’t know at the time – other than the fact that Lorenzo Sanz would lose the elections and hand the reigns over to Pérez – was that as per the signed agreement, there was a €30 million exit fee attached should Veiga or Figo himself break the contract to join Los Blancos. With Veiga trapped between a rock and a hard place, Figo then asked the agent: “What do we do now?” to which Veiga replied, “There are three options. One, you remain at Barça and pay the €30 million which you do not have, two, you don’t pay them and I go to jail, or three, you go to Real Madrid.” Veiga believes that it is a similar tactic that current president Ramón Calderón is using to snatch Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United; making the player sign a deal with Los Merengues that includes a penalty clause that could cost the Portuguese millions should he break his end of the deal. KS Leong -- 經紀人說當時不知道跟 Perez 簽的草約違約金高達三千萬歐元，本來只是要拿來逼巴薩加薪，順道賺個三百萬歐元。情勢所逼只好加盟皇馬。跟先前的傳聞是大同小異，但應該是首次由直接相關人士報料。 -- Visca el Barca i visca Catalunya ! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.73.242.72 ※ 編輯: kevinishia 來自: 203.73.242.72 (08/03 00:35)
