Chapter 651: The One Who Gets the Highest Price
When the 22-day European Championship football feast came to an end, a group of scouts and coaches lurking in the stands of the European Championship games also returned to the club with their own gains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, the major European teams began to invest in transfer operations.
As the most powerful league in Europe, the Premier League is in the spotlight.
As the defending champions, Manchester United lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final, but the profits in this competition are far greater than those of the La Liga giants, which makes Manchester United not short of money in the summer transfer market.
The introduction of a striker has also been a problem for Ferguson in the past few months, especially after talking to Gao Han, his entanglement has not been alleviated, but has been deepened.
Among the forwards recommended by Gao Han, Benzema from Lyon was ranked first by him, but everyone knows that Olas is a vampire, and if he wants to poach Benzema from him, how much money does he have to pay?
The same is true of another striker who plays for Zaragoza in La Liga, Diego Milito.
The strength of this player is indeed undoubted, but he is already twenty-nine years old, but the psychological price given by the other party is not low at all, not more than 20 million euros, and he can't be expected to be taken away.
But for Ferguson and Manchester United, more than 20 million euros to buy a 29-year-old striker?
Manchester United also have their eye on new Ruud van Nistelrooy and Huntelaar who play for Ajax.
The striker is worth a lot of money, but listening to Gao Han's meaning, it seems that this striker is not very suitable for Manchester United's style of play, after all, the Red Devils Manchester United are no longer the style of the Ruud van Nistelrooy era.
What's more, the player also faces competition from Real Madrid.
However, after the European Championship, Ferguson added another name to his shortlist, Podolski.
Twenty-three years old, in the year of playing, although in the two seasons of Bayern Munich, there were no satisfactory results, but the strength is not bad, judging from his performance in the European Cup, it is obviously quite standard.
Ferguson also knew from Gao Han's mouth before that he was still relatively sure of Podolski's strength, but he believed that Prince Cologne was more suitable for the style of play of a counter-attacking team, which was not in line with the current trend of Bayern Munich.
But isn't Manchester United a counter-attacking team?
Chelsea are another big player in the summer transfer market, with Real Madrid Robinho already linked to them for a long time, and after the European Championships, Roman Abramovich has his eye on compatriot Arshavin who plays for Atletico Madrid.
According to reliable sources in The Sun, Rijkaard is said to be a big admirer of Arshavin and Robinho, believing that the addition of the two players will greatly improve Chelsea's ability to play on both flanks and take the Blues' attack to the next level, with Peter Kenyon even calling Mendes personally.
Because, the Portuguese is the agent of these two stars.
Arsenal's situation is not good, Adebayor is clamoring to leave, Podolski has become a substitute for Arsene Wenger, and German striker Gomes is also the target of Wenger's handpicking, and Arsenal also has an eye on Arshavin.
In addition to the attention of the top three in the Premier League at the same time, AC Milan's Ancelotti is also interested in Arshavin, but according to German media reports, what AC Milan really wants is Bayern Munich's midfielder Schweinsteiger.
In an interview with Milan Sports Newspaper, Ancelotti publicly said that Gao Han's adjustment to Schweinsteiger made his eyes shine, and he believed that the German piggy could improve AC Milan's midfield depth and organizational ability very well.
Also interested in Schweinsteiger is Juventus, but unlike AC Milan, who only showed off in the media, the Bianconeri made a direct offer to Bayern Munich, 15 million euros plus Portuguese midfielder Thiago, which will bring Schweinsteiger's transfer fee to 25 million euros.
This transaction is quite a staggering price in the entire Bundesliga.
In addition, Juventus also launched an attack on Bayern Munich's Podolski and made an offer of 20 million euros.
Coincidentally, Barcelona's Pep Guardiola has also attacked Arshavin, hoping that the Russian can strengthen his side on the flanks, and he also wants to get David Silva and Villa as the Tigers of the Singles Army.
However, according to the revelations of the daily sports newspaper, what Guardiola really wants is Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic.
The good cooperation between the two at Inter Milan convinced Guardiola that Ibrahimovic could greatly improve Barcelona's attacking strength, and for this reason he would even send Ronaldinho to AC Milan and even use Samuel Eto'o as part of his transfer. ”
However, the Italian side was quick to react, and Moratti is said to have stepped in personally and rejected the transfer offer.
Because Gao Han once advised Moratti that until the team completes its metabolism, if you want to remain competitive, the front trident cannot be moved, so whether Barcelona poachs Ibrahimovic, or Real Madrid poachs Cristiano Ronaldo and Adriano, Moratti is unmoved. ”
On the contrary, Atletico Madrid seems to have been dug loose.
The new stadium is nearing completion, and the team has been almost guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the past few years, with a lot of money, but there is still a funding gap, so the management has given the green light to the transfer of a number of players, including Villa and Torres.
"It is reported that Atletico Madrid intends to exchange these two players for a huge transfer fee to ensure that the team's new stadium is completed on schedule, and then a new era will usher in the development of the Sheets Army. ”
Gao Han didn't pay attention to the real and false in the transfer market, but because he was going to return to China after the European Championship to participate in the opening of the Chinatown Youth Training Center and the opening of the summer training camp on Talent Day, he specially returned to Munich for a meeting with the management.
But when he returned to Munich, the club received another offer from Italy.
…………
…………
'It's still AC Milan, they want Van Bommel and this time it's serious. ”
In the high-level conference room at the Sebena training base, Hoeness handed a fax to Gao Han.
Ten million euros, this is the Rossoneri's offer for the thirty-one-year-old Van Bommel and, it should be said, not low.
But Gao Han was a little embarrassed, because Van Bommel had always made him quite entangled.
In the early days, he didn't like to use Van Bommel as a type of midfielder, because he was too tall, not flexible enough to provide the constant pressure that Gao Han wanted, and due to age, he was really not as good as young players in terms of running, which made Gao Han want to directly support Vidal in the position.
But Van Bommel performed well last season and was the team's captain on the field, so Gao Han never found a reason to take him down, and at the end of the season, that is, now, he is a little reluctant to Van Bommel.
Sometimes it's embarrassing to think about it.
Compared with Gao Han, the club's management thinks from a higher angle, they believe that Van Bommel is 31 years old, and now there are problems with the renewal of the team's contract, because Bayern Munich is more conservative and only wants to give a one-plus-one contract.
That is, another year, another year after certain conditions are met, but Van Bommel wants to get a two-plus-one contract, which makes it a little difficult for the Big Three, and Van Bommel also sells in the European market through a broker.
It can be said that both parties regard this as a buying and selling transaction, without too much emotional involvement.
"How are the renewal talks for Bastian and the others?" asked Gao Han with concern.
Rummenigge nodded: "It's going well, if there are no surprises, we will end all contract extension negotiations in July, and Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Hummels and other players will get a new contract and continue to play in the team." ”
Gao Han has no doubts about the execution of Bayern Munich's management.
"Judging by the performances at the European Championships, Lahm has matured and according to the tradition of the team, after Kahn retires this summer, if Van Bommel leaves, Lahm will be the ideal captain of the team, Schweinsteiger will be the vice-captain of the team, and I believe they will both be able to fill their respective roles. ”
Van Bommel has been Bayern Munich's captain since Manuel Neuer replaced Kahn as captain last season, taking on the role of managing the dressing room, leading the players in training and acting as a mediator between the players and the management and coaching staff.
However, in Bayern Munich's history, no foreign player has ever captained the team, which is why the team was slow to correct Van Bommel last season.
If Van Bommel leaves, according to the principle of priority, Schweinsteiger should be on top, but Gao Han is more optimistic about the mature and stable Lahm, and he believes that Schweinsteiger should not have any objections.
The Big Three also understood what Gao Han meant, and he didn't mind letting Van Bommel leave the team.
"Okay, we know what to do. Hoeness nodded.
"What about Podolsky, what is his situation now?" asked Gao Han with concern.
At the mention of the homegrown striker, the Big Three all looked embarrassed.
It should be said that Podolski's performance in the European Championship is indeed quite good, and his three goals have made him second only to Spain's Villa, shine in the European Championship and win the unanimous affirmation of the fans.
However, at Bayern Munich, his performance has not been satisfactory, especially in the face of competition from Klose and Aguero, his attitude is also negative, and now he even takes advantage of the excellent performance in the European Championship, wanting to take the opportunity to put pressure on Gao Han and the club to let him play more games.
Let's ask, can the club and Gao Han compromise?
Not to mention that it is difficult for him to compete with Klose and Aguero at all, even if he has the strength, it is difficult to be satisfied with this attitude.
Assuming that his requirements are met, then everyone will follow the same example, so how will the team be managed?
"Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, Juventus, Cologne, Stuttgart, ......"
Hoeness smiled wryly and read out a long list of names, "Half of the big teams in Europe want him, and there are several teams within the Bundesliga who are testing our attitude. ”
That's the impact of a tournament like the European Championship.
To say that in the past two seasons, Podolski's performance at Bayern Munich was not ideal, but with his excellent performance in the two or three games in the European Cup, he immediately won the attention and favor of many big teams.
Because of this, he has the confidence to shout that he doesn't want to play as a substitute at Bayern Munich.
Gao Han also knows the current situation, he has no shortage of strikers, and he doesn't like to be held hostage.
"Twenty million...... Pounds, whoever can afford this price will be able to take Podolsky. ”
Gao Han's words surprised the three giants a little, because the price was very high.
But this also shows Gao Han's attitude, the one with the highest price gets it, without any feelings.
He's already let go anyway, so let him be.
