Chapter 075: Asking for the Price (4th Update, Thanks to the Alliance Leader for Wandering Layman 1/3)
Received the club manager Kent. Hassler's phone, Basel's chief scout and technical adviser Dieter. Fischer hurried to the club's manager's office.
"These are all faxes from Qianjiang?" Dieter. Fischer asked Kent. Hassler.
Yes, these are not quotations, they are inquiry lists.
This is tantamount to throwing stones and asking for directions: Hey, Lao Tie, we are very interested in your Jiang Chenxi, how about it, sell it or not? How much? Can you get a discount?
Basel, on the other hand, said that he knew which clubs were interested in Jiang Chenxi, and would carefully screen them, which were really rich local tyrants, and which were poor ghosts who had no money to pay YY.
……
"Yes, that's all for now." Hearing Fischer's words, Hasler nodded. He didn't mention the stubble of Udinese, the poor ghost who had no money and was delusional...... Don't mention it.
Fischer flipped through the faxes, which came from Serie A teams Sampdoria and Napoli and Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
"Sampdoria can't afford the river." Fischer said directly.
"I think so too." Hasler said.
It's not that they underestimate the Serie A teams, in addition to the top three in the north, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, that is, the Roma team and Napoli, which have re-emerged in the past two years, have a certain purchasing power, and other Serie A teams, even teams like Sampdoria, which were once brilliant, can't afford to pay the price to introduce Jiang Chenxi.
"Frankfurt barely bothered either."
That's right, there's nothing wrong with that.
The Bundesliga teams are used to living a small life safely, and the reinforcements of more than 5 million euros are considered big in the Bundesliga, and the reinforcements of more than 10 million euros can be ranked in the annual list of the Bundesliga.
……
"Napoli ......" Fischer muttered, although the Napolitans are not local tyrants, but, they belong to the more purchasing power, they introduced Chilean international Vargas from the Chilean University team last summer, it cost 11.4 million euros, and from Inter Milan to introduce Macedonian veteran Pandev, also willing to pay 7.5 million euros, although they sold Ravitch to Paris Saint-Germain for 26 million euros to earn, but, At the very least, it shows that the movie tycoon boss in Naples is still willing to spend money.
The two men exchanged glances, and the Neapolitan could be used as an alternative.
Of course, this does not mean that they have decided to push Jiang Chenxi into the transfer market, this is just a preliminary screening intention. They need to make an initial assessment.
……
Just then, Assistant Manager Butler knocked on the office door again, holding two more fax sheets in his hands.
Hasler and Fischer glanced at each other, both of them were happy, fortunately they moved quickly and had completed the renewal of their contract with Jiang Chenxi, otherwise the previous 12 million euros in liquidated damages would not be able to stop these teams at all, and if they didn't make a certain team that was not bad for money, they would directly smash out the liquidated damages, and take Jiang Chenxi away during the winter break. There was no place for Basel to cry.
……
"It's ......" Hasler looked at the fax slip Butler had just delivered, his expression of surprise.
Fischer took it and looked at it, also showing surprise.
Unlike the previous ones, which are from the Serie A and the Bundesliga, these two fax sheets are from the fat and oily Premier League.
Premier League teams have money, that's almost a fact in football nowadays.
In June this year, the Premier League officially announced the details of the 2012/2013 season's bonus + share income, the champion Manchester City's income reached 120 million pounds, in the top six of the Premier League, Manchester United ranked second in income, 110 million pounds, and the bottom Wolves also had 75 million pounds, the income gap between the strong and weak teams is not huge.
Although this is only income, the club itself also has player salaries, recruitment, stadium maintenance, staff salaries and other expenses, but this in itself shows that the income of the Premier League team is very considerable.
……
Compared with the top five European leagues, the Premier League is the one with the smallest difference in revenue and share, with the revenue sharing ratio of the top team and the bottom team being 1.6:1, while La Liga, which has the most disparity, is 8:1, the Bundesliga is 2:1, Ligue 1 is 3.5:1, and Serie A is 5:1.
The Premier League's bonus and revenue sharing plan treats the strong and weak teams equally, and the only difference is the place bonus, which is about £15 million between each place, but the 20 teams are evenly divided in the three major areas of domestic TV broadcasting, overseas television broadcasting and overall commercial revenue sharing.
In the area of guaranteed TV, even if a weak team like Sunderland only broadcasts 8 games, it has a "guaranteed income" of 10 million pounds, and this kind of benefit sharing distribution plan can ensure that the 20 teams in the Premier League are rich to the greatest extent.
Even the Premier League has introduced a "relegation distribution scheme", that is, teams that have been relegated from the Premier League in recent years have a share to take. For example, Birmingham, Blackpool and West Ham United, who were relegated a year ago, all received more than £10 million from the Premier League this year, despite playing in the Championship last season.
Therefore, most of the teams in Serie A and other teams in the Bundesliga except Bayern, as well as those in La Liga outside the Spanish Super League, are envious and jealous to find that even the relegation teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League can easily throw out more than 10 million, or even 20 or 30 million pounds to recruit.
Not bad for money!
In the eyes of clubs in non-mainstream leagues like Basel, the buyers of the Premier League are the big financiers.
What's more, these two faxes are not from the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, but from traditional giants and traditional strong teams.
……
"Arsenal."
"Tottenham Hotspur."
Kent. Hassler and Dieter. Fischer glanced at each other.
Unexpectedly, it was the two sworn enemies in London who joined forces.
For the fax from Arsenal, Dieter. Fisher wasn't too surprised, after all, he had seen Arsenal scout Bobby in the stands. Bennett's figure, however, Tottenham Hotspur's asking price was beyond his expectations.
When did Tottenham Hotspur set their sights on Jiang Chenxi.
……
Tottenham Hotspur is directly asking Jiang Chenxi.
And Arsenal is more special, which caused the two to exclaim, because Arsenal directly asked Jiang Chenxi and Salah, and the arsenal is going to package and buy Basel's twin stars.
Hasler is also glad for a while, just the day before yesterday, Basel Club had reached an agreement with Salah on the renewal of the contract, and completed the renewal signing process, the negotiations were not going well, but after Jiang Chenxi's renewal was completed, Salah's renewal also went smoothly.
Unlike Jiang Chenxi, there is no liquidated damages clause in Salah's contract, because there was no liquidated damages clause in Salah's previous contract. In fact, liquidated damages clauses are rare in player contracts, which is not a normal phenomenon, and if it were not for Jiang Chenxi's agent Su Xun insisting, Basel would not have agreed to add liquidated damages clauses to the contract.
Salah's contract extension only increased the Egyptian's salary package, and was encouraged to extend his contract 'incidentally' to a five-year long contract.
Now, after completing the contract renewal of Salah and Jiang Chenxi, Basel can finally face these faxes asking for their own twin stars with a relatively calm attitude.
……
Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal.
Hasler put away the faxes of the three clubs' inquiries and put them away.
The other two faxes were casually placed on the table.
Soon, all five clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt and Sampdoria, who had already been ignored (because of poverty), received a fax reply from Basel.
"Jiang is not for sale, Lao Tie." This is a reply to Napoli and Tottenham Hotspur.
"Jiang and Salah are not for sale, dear." Here's the reply to Arsenal.
"I'm sorry, Jiang is not for sale." This is a reply to Sampdoria and Eintracht Frankfurt.
