"Then continue to increase the price!"

Steve Raleigh said without hesitation.

"Crazy! You and Arsène are crazy! With such a high price, and a price increase, who do you think he is? Is it Cristiano Ronaldo, or Theo Walcott? ”

"Even Cristiano, Manchester United took him from Sporting that year, it only cost 12.24 million pounds. Do you know how much Arsène advises me to offer? He suggested that I quote 15 million! And just trying! ”

"I really can't understand it. Why do we have to spend so much money to invest in a lottery where the future is uncertain. ”

Ivan Gazidis spread his hands, a puzzled expression.

He was puzzled by Raleigh and Arsene Wenger's love for Chu Ge.

"Ivan, I may not know much about the operation of the club, but I know that the difference between the price of players now and the previous one is too big."

"Take what you said about Ronaldo, Manchester United spent 12.24 million to take him away. However, in the current era of information explosion, I can't imagine what the price should be paid to sign him. ”

"In 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo's £12.24 million, if I'm not mistaken, was already a world record for a transfer of an under-18 player at the time."

"And three years later, when we bought Walcott, we spent 15 million, setting a new record."

In 2001, Roma signed 19-year-old Cassano for 23 million. In 2004, Manchester United signed 19-year-old Wayne Rooney for 27 million. ”

"Just last year, Manchester United signed 18-year-old Luke Shaw for £30 million.

"It's not the time to take Ronaldo from PSV Eindhoven for £4 million. Neymar joined Barcelona from the Brazilian league, and he already spent 51 million on Barcelona. ”

……

You have a good point, and I am speechless.

Gazidis was silent.

He sighed and said a little weakly: "Even if you are right, those are all big stars." How can you guarantee that the Chinese player can become a big star like Ronaldo and Rooney in the future? ”

"No one can guarantee that, sir." Raleigh shrugged, "Based on my experience with Arsène over the years, we feel that this player has a very, very high ceiling and a high ceiling. We learned that he is a very disciplined player, and since he has become famous, there has been no negative press at all, and he is a very professional player. ”

"A player like this is well worth our investment."

"And, if you think about it, if this player can really reach the heights we expect, what is the value of this now?"

"In the distant and mysterious country of the East, we have produced a world-class star, so what will be the peak of our club's prestige there? Not to mention anything else, Chu's transfer value, just by selling jerseys, you can buy several of him. You're right? ”

Hearing Raleigh say this, Gazidis pondered and seemed to have some truth.

"Think about it, think about it." He put his hands on his forehead.

"Okay, think about it. Ivan, that player is a real genius, I guarantee with all my years of scouting experience. ”

With that, Raleigh stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered another thing.

"Ivan, you originally quoted 8 million to buy him and then lend him out, right?"

Ivan Gazidis was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Hmm." That's what I think. ”

"You must not do that. If it's on loan, then the player will definitely not want to come. I've talked to his agent about this topic before. What that kid wants is a big platform to be able to play. ”

Hearing Raleigh say this, Gazidis also smiled, "If it costs 15 million, I will definitely be reluctant to rent it out to others." ”

"At the beginning, I thought that he was a Chinese player and would definitely not be able to apply for a labor certification, so I planned to rent him out."

"If it really costs 15 million, or even more than 15 million pounds, plus he is a registered player of Real Madrid, he will definitely be able to meet the terms of the new labor certification application. If we can apply for a labor certification and spend so much money, if we still have to rent it out, wouldn't we be wronged? ”

'We're not as rich as Chelsea, we can do whatever we want.

Hearing Gazidis say this, Raleigh was relieved.

He smiled and pulled back his chair, "Hopefully next season, I can see that lad at A.T. Kearney's training base." I'm sure Arsène must have thought the same way. ”

"I'll do my best."

Gazidis smiled helplessly.

Raleigh left.

Gazidis leaned back in his seat and looked at the door, feeling a little complicated.

……

On the other side of the globe.

Chu Ge returned to his familiar room.

A clean and tidy room with posters of various football stars on the walls and a football ball next to the table.

Looking at those star posters on the wall, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At this time last year, he was still imagining that it would be great if one day he could see these stars live.

If you take another group photo and ask for an autograph or something, it's simply too happy to want it.

Now, Cristiano Ronaldo is, or was, his teammate. Moreover, the relationship between the two is still very good.

Ronaldo once put his arm on his shoulder and said I'm very optimistic about you.

And Messi and Chu Ge are also at the Camp Nou, sitting on the bench of Real Madrid, watching his gorgeous performance up close.

Of the four stars on the wall, only Ibrahimovic remains, and Chu Ge has not yet been touched.

The other three, he had seen at the scene.

Moreover, Ronaldo also became one of several of his friends at Real Madrid.

Until now, he is still in contact with Ronaldo and Marcelo and other first-team players.

He never dreamed of such a life a year ago.

Now, when I think about it, it's like a dream.

Chu Ge suddenly felt very happy.

Even when he learns that next season's Real Madrid first team is no longer in his place, he is still very happy.

He is excited about his growth and progress.

Next season, no matter where he is, Chu Ge always firmly believes that even if he is not the best one at the beginning, in the end, he will definitely be the best one.

Turning on the familiar computer, Chu Ge was stunned for a while.

Subconsciously touched the USB flash drive socket of the computer.

Then, he started to look through some transfer news.

Porto announced the buyout of Casemiro, and Real Madrid immediately implemented the anti-buyout clause in the loan contract.

In the end, Real Madrid redeemed the "Fat Tiger" from Porto for 7.5 million euros.

Barcelona bought full-back Alex Vidal from Sevilla for 17 million euros.

West Ham United bought Obiang from Sampdoria.

Real Betis have signed Van der Vaart, a star of the Dutch golden generation.

Xavi, the midfield maestro of Barcelona's golden generation, has officially joined Saudi Arabia's Al Sadd club.

Tottenham Hotspur signed Kieran Trippier for £3.5 million.

Juventus took Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid for 21 million euros.
