Jardel had played with Deco for two years, Deco knew his needs well, and he hoped to work with Deco.
This matter was clearly known by Porto, who were recently trying to woo Jardel's agent.
Good grief!
I haven't even secured your forward yet, and you're trying to poach my midfield star?
"Twenty million euros!" Porto made another offer.
"Throw in a Postiga on top of that? Otherwise, we'll be left without a forward," Maxa counter-offered.
"Impossible, Postiga is the future of our team, his value is at least seven million euros!" Porto refused.
"Then twenty-five million euros, letting you earn an easy two million," Maxa wavered.
"Twenty-two million euros, we can't offer more, this is our utmost sincerity!" Porto was desperate.
