The negotiations lasted exactly two hours, they even discussed in the middle of the sheep from Becali’s yard from Pipera, and when they left the Maybach get stuck with the mud in the sheep fold
A hallucinatory Saturday for Steaua and its supporters. After only 12 hours distance from the moment when he said that he won’t sell the team, Gigi Becali invited the Israeli Shon Mekyten to his home in order to have the official negotiations.
He received them with cookies and juices
The magnate who came express in Romania to buy Steaua arrived last evening at 7:30 p.m. at Steaua’s sponsor mansion from Pipera accompanied by Nati Meir and by his son. Besides, a surprise-presence: Meir Daan, the assignee of Platinum Casino, whose patron expressed his wish of buying with Mekyten, actions at the club from Ghencea. Becali invited the three in his house, waiting them with platters of cookies, cheese sticks and natural juices. Besides, he insisted that they shall translate the following phrase to Mekyten: "I am not against Hebrews, I really love them".
He brought them in the sheep fold
After 25 minutes, Becali rose and said to them: "Let’s take you in the sheep fold from my yard". The four got in Becali’s Maybach and they traversed the 400 meters from behind the house. There they walked through the scores of sheep which belong to Becali, where they continued the discussions. When they turned back, Maybach get stuck with the mud in the sheep fold, and Becali had to get out and put hay straw to take the car from the mud and go back home.
The players: "Gigi, don’t go!", Becali: "I sell"
An important moment during the negotiations were the phone calls and the messages which Becali received from the players. "Nea Gigi, te rugăm să nu pleci, nu te lua după suporteri sau după alţii care-ţi vor răul!", au sunat mesajele de la fotbalişti. Ienei: "I would be better if Gigi Becali stays at Steaua"
After exactly two hours of negotiations, the two pats seem to have reached a conclusion. “I asked 80 millions for the entire club, he proposed me 50. Then, I told him to give me 30 millions for 50 % and he accepted, but for 51 %. In the end we made the deal for 30 millions and to have equal parts of the actions. Anyway, we will meat again”, announced Becali.
Mekyten wants everything
The Israeli magnate, whose fortune is estimated at 4 milliard dollars, left content from the negotiations.
- Mr. Mekyten, what’s the conclusion?
- We reached a conclusion which has two variants. The first variant is to take 50 % of the actions for 30 millions euro. The second variant is to take all the actions.
- Which variant has the biggest chances?
- I think we can make an offer of 60 millions euro and I think this amount will be accepted by Mr. Becali to sell Steaua. We will meat again and we will establish exactly which the final variant will be. One thing is sure, that Mr. Becali really wants to sell.
IS THIS JUST A BLUFF SIGNED BECALI?
The sponsor from Steaua was live on OTV on a phone call last night, where he changed his speech very much: “If you ask me, sincerely, I don’t think I will sell Steaua. But I thought that negotiations can help me, so that the supporters may see how it is in Ghencea without Becali and so that the people may see that Gigi negotiates Steaua for 80 millions”. Marius Lăcătuş entered live on a phone call, too, and he was very affected by the events, but he was calmed by the sponsor: “Don’t worry Marius, I will call you after the broadcast and I will tell you what all is about!” Read here a part of the dialogue of the two
"This Israeli citizen impressed me very much. He said to me that even if he takes only a half, he will let me to manage the club. He only wants to stay next to me in the lodge"
