With Bayer Leverkusen's purge not going well this summer, with the inability to get much-needed liquidity from player transfers and cut the team's financial spending, Karlmond is actually quite restless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After all, unlike other national leagues, the German Football Association (DFB) has extremely strict financial scrutiny of football clubs. If Bayer Leverkusen had been found to be operating at a loss during the review, the pharmaceutical company would have been severely punished by the selfless German Football Association (DFB) even if it had narrowly won a trophy for German football in the Champions League a year ago.
Moreover, in order to avoid being robbed, Karlmond could not take the initiative to go door-to-door to promote his players. Because in this way, Leverkusen's bottom line is likely to be found out by other teams, so that the other party will deliberately lower the price in the transfer transaction process.
"Damn vampires, they all think of our profits as part of the group's profits. Why is it that when we encounter difficulties, the group is reluctant to give even a little financial support?" Kalmond was depressed when he remembered that Bayer Group, which had to draw a lot of money from the club every year and had never injected capital into Leverkusen. In the fat manager's view, Bayer Group is not a qualified boss compared to the Russian consortium that controls Schalke 04 and the Volkswagen company behind Wolfsburg.
Of course, no matter how much Kalmond was dissatisfied with Bayer, he could not rely on these grievances to help Leverkusen smooth out the deficit on its financial statements. In order for Bayer Leverkusen to complete the league registration smoothly in the new season, and not be fined by the German Football Association or even deduct league points for operating at a loss, Kalmond still has to think more about player transactions.
After all, for most clubs, tickets, commercial sponsorships and player transfers are the three most important components that make up a club's financial revenue. For Leverkusen now, it is unrealistic to increase the revenue of tickets and commercial sponsorships, and Bayer Group is unwilling to inject money into the team to help Leverkusen smooth the deficit. In such a situation, the pharmaceutical company is naturally left with only one way to sell players.
It is precisely for this reason that when Carlmond learned that representatives of Tottenham Hotspur had arrived at Bayer Leverkusen to discuss the transfer of some players with him, the Bayer Leverkusen general manager, who was worried about the sales of his own players, could be said to be overjoyed. Although Calmond has been worried about the club's financial situation in recent months, the Bayer Leverkusen general manager also knows a little about some of the major events happening in European football, and naturally knows that Tottenham, which has a new owner, is stirring up trouble in the transfer market during this time, and because the team's appeal is limited, it cannot buy many good players, so it can only poach people from small and medium-sized clubs in major leagues.
Perhaps, he can take this opportunity to stab Tottenham Hotspur hard? Looking at the assistant's submission, about Tottenham's various actions in the transfer market in the past month, Carlmond couldn't help but label this club as a "stupid person with a lot of money".
However, when the negotiations began, Kalmond was surprised by Paratic's words: "Mr. Paratic, you are saying that you intend to bring in Ildiraj Basturk and Daniel Bierovka in our team for a package price of £6 million?"
Paraticić's move surprised Calmond, who thought that the main purpose of the other party's visit to Bayer Leverkusen was to bring in their Brazilian international Lucio, but Paratici mentioned the names of Basturk and Bierovka.
To be honest, George has always been extremely entangled in the question of whether to bring in Lucio. After all, the ability of the Brazilian central defender is indeed outstanding, and being able to win the Sanya King with the team in his first full season with the pharmaceutical company, and lift the Hercules Cup as a main member of the 02 World Cup champion team, is enough to prove Lucio's excellence. Moreover, Leverkusen is also unable to make a price tag on Lucio's transfer due to the minimum release clause in the contract, so as long as Tottenham's offer to Lucio can trigger this clause, the obstacle to stopping Lucio from playing at White Hart Lane is whether the Brazilian can accept to join a club that has not qualified for European competition.
However, while Lucio is physical, fast and flexible, and has the technical advantages of a Brazilian player, and his sudden forward insertions are also very threatening, Lucio is a double-edged sword for any team, because he is a little too frequent in the game, and he often has a lot of blood. Therefore, Lucio's sudden forward participation in the attack in the game can certainly cause some confusion to the opponent's defensive system, but the large space behind him will also become a place where the opponent can make a big fuss, especially when Lucio is enthusiastic and his teammates have no time to fill him.
Although George can slowly correct this shortcoming of the Brazilian in training after Lucio joins Tottenham, or arrange specific tactics to make up for it, as a key member of the 02 World Cup winning team and Bayer Leverkusen's Sanya King period, George, who currently has only one Premier League trophy on the honor book, is difficult to convince Lucio. And if the Brazilians become unhappy with George's set-up (for example, by reducing the frequency of attacking forwards), then Tottenham's dressing room atmosphere and team results will inevitably be negatively affected.
What's more, Tottenham have now signed Nemanja Vidic and Vermaelen as two future first-class centre-backs, plus the original and currently glass-human Ledley King in the squad, so that Tottenham is not short of manpower in the central defender position. Therefore, due to the above considerations, George did not include Lucio in the list of reinforcements in the end.
"The £6 million transfer fee is a bit too low, and even if Bierovka had a mediocre season last season, the two of them shouldn't be worth that much. Having heard about Paratici's first offer for Basturk and Bierovka, Calmond, who thought he could make a fortune at Tottenham, was unlikely to accept the offer: "If you really want to sign these two players, I hope you can increase the transfer fee to ...... Well, £15 million will do. ”
"Manager Carlmond! This price is absolutely impossible for us at Tottenham to accept!" "It stands to reason that Paratici's current position is a scout for Tottenham in Europe, and he does not need to be in charge of transfer negotiations, but due to the serious shortage of personnel in Tottenham's first team, Marotta, who is in charge of this work, has no skills, so Paratici has to help his friend and boss share some of the difficult tasks," £15 million, or $24 million when converted into dollars, is unlikely to cost Tottenham such a high price for these two players. You should know in your heart that the players who are worth more than 10 million dollars in the transfer market today are at least the quasi-first-class stars in today's international football. And Basturk and Bierovka, apparently, do not meet this criterion. ”
"Mr. Paratici, you are right. But I think you should be well aware that with Tottenham's current status in European football, it is difficult to sign those stars who play legitimately, right?" Kalmond immediately gave his reason for Paratic's rebuttal, "And even if you can settle the club, the player himself probably won't want to play at White Hart Lane, right?"
"It shouldn't have anything to do with our negotiations, right?" Paratic, who had just touched the nail on Xavi Alonso's transfer, frowned unhappily at Calmond's words, "You know, when Joe Cole joined Stamford Bridge before, Chelsea only paid a transfer fee of 6.6 million pounds. Basturk and Bierovka are inferior to Joe Cole in terms of strength and fame, so £6 million is already a reasonable price. ”
Joe Cole alone is worth £6.6 million, which is still the price of West Ham's relegation jump. You Tottenham want to buy two players from me now, but the transfer fee is lower than Joe Cole's alone, you are too dark, right?!
"Of course it matters!" Thinking of this, Carlmond smiled treacherously, and the idea of taking the opportunity to knock Tottenham became more determined, "So, for you, a team like our Bayer Leverkusen, which has a lot of good players in the team, but can't retain people because of poor results, should be the most important target for poaching, right?"
"Indeed, for us at Tottenham, Bayer Leverkusen is one of the teams that best suits our recruitment requirements. Paratici echoed approvingly, and then changed the subject, "However, when you sold Ballack to Bayern Munich last year, you only recovered 6 million euros in transfer fees. So, if your asking price is too high for the transfer of Bierovka and Basturk, it will inevitably make some bad associations. ”
Hearing Paratic's words, Kalmond's face darkened. You know, the sale of Ballack and Ze Roberto to Bayern Munich was the stupidest deal he made as Bayer Leverkusen's general manager. So, now that Paratici mentions this, it's strange that Kalmond can have a good face.
However, this can only be blamed on Karmond himself - who made him sell Ballack so cheaply back then, so that Leverkusen could not sell players for a high price in the future. Otherwise, Karlmond, who agreed to the transfer at the time, would have to be dragged out by angry Bayer Leverkusen fans to parade through the streets.
So, after some verbal debate, Paratici and Calmund finally agreed on the amount of transfer fees for Basturk and Bierovka - Tottenham Hotspur will buy the two players from Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 9 million pounds, or 14.4 million US dollars!
Then, as long as Paratici gets the player in person, the package deal between Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen can be completed.
