Chapter 200: Wenger is here! (Tip plus 1)

The Dutch team's training is proceeding in an orderly manner according to Van Marwijk's plan, and the players' form is slowly recovering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Chen Fan found that his teammates' attitudes towards him had changed dramatically, and even arrogant players like Robben made a few jokes with him from time to time.

Chen Fan understands that this has something to do with his performance in the Eredivisie, after all, scoring goals in 14 consecutive games and scoring 23 goals in 14 games is like a miracle.

Privately, Robben and Van Persie, and even Sneijder have extended invitations to Chen Fan, hoping that he will go to their club.

He's become a hot figure.

After a week of training, the Dutch squad was temporarily disbanded and the players left the Holiday Inn for a short break.

On May 21, a special figure arrived at Amsterdam International Airport, a man in his fifties with big sunglasses covering half of his face.

With a slender face like a knife, looking at the Amsterdam sky, the old man exhaled a long breath and said, "Finally in Amsterdam!" ā€

The old man's figure is maintained very well, without any bloated feeling, which is the result of long-term maintenance exercise.

He pushed his suitcase out of the airport and got into a black Mercedes with his assistant next to him, with a middle-aged man on board, and after shaking hands with them, he got to business.

"Ajax insists on a transfer fee of 60 million, and there is no sign of relenting for the time being, and we have also been in contact with Thomson, and the weekly salary he proposed is 150,000, which is also a gap with the 120,000 we gave."

It turned out to be a talk, these can be talked about slowly, and the two sides are competing for wisdom and patience.

The old man took off his big sunglasses and asked the middle-aged man, "What is the situation of our competitors?" ā€

The middle-aged man replied: "Mr. Wenger, after inquiry, Bayern's offer is 35 million, Inter's offer is 30 million, Barcelona's offer is 32 million, and Chelsea's lowest offer is only 30 million." ā€

"Although our offer is not advantageous, but so far we are the most sincere, except for the general manager Ivan? In addition to Mr. Gazidis being here in person last week, here you are again today! ā€

The old man is none other than Mr. Arsene Wenger, the official Arsenal manager, who came to Amsterdam today for Chen Fan!

The middle-aged man, Arsenal's head of market development, had arrived in Amsterdam a few days ahead of schedule to negotiate with Ajax to set the stage for Arsene Wenger's arrival.

Ivan? Gazidis, a South African-American, was involved in the establishment of Major League Soccer and was responsible for market development. He took up the role of CEO of Arsenal Football Club in January 2009.

The transfer of Chen Fan is his top priority after taking office, because Wenger told him that Arsenal must win!

Arsene Wenger said: "Of course sincerity is important, but money is even more important, this trip is not easy, and it is a protracted battle." ā€

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "As you said, this is a protracted battle, our task is arduous, and our competitors are strong. ā€

Barcelona won't talk about it, Chelsea, Bayern, Inter, which of these giants has no money?

Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, has always been cautious and budget-conscious in the transfer market, and his philosophy is to "buy the most valuable player for the least amount of money". ā€

Arsenal's offer for Ajax was 35 million, which was already a very rare bid for Arsene Wenger.

But there is still a big gap between this offer and Ajax's 60 million, and Wenger understands why Ajax are quoting such a high price.

Other clubs may offer a higher price, after all, Chen Fan is only 18 years old, and he is too amazing in the season just ended.

"They probably think Chen has only played one season and are skeptical about Chen's future, so the offers are generally low."

Arsene Wenger said: "If Chen had played for a few seasons and had this kind of performance, they would have offered at least $10 million higher than they are now. ā€

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "This is precisely our advantage, after all, sir, you have a unique method for cultivating young people." ā€

Arsene Wenger turned his head to look at the Amsterdam street scenery that kept flashing, and said softly: "But we have limited funds after all. ā€

He exhaled a long breath, gently tapped the car window with his right hand, and asked the middle-aged man, "What is Chen's attitude?" ā€

In a transfer, the player's willingness is an important factor and something that the club must consider, and if Chen Fan is not interested in Arsenal at all, this transfer will not be discussed at all.

The middle-aged man said: "I haven't been in contact with him, but I can see from Thomson's words that Chen is not averse to Arsenal. ā€

Wenger frowned slightly, slowly put his right hand on his knee, and said softly: "Compared to them, we don't have any advantages, except for this sincerity, we really don't have anything more......"

The middle-aged man looked at Wenger, who looked solemn, and said, "No, sir, if you say a little less, it's you." ā€

Arsene Wenger knows what the middle-aged man means, the Arsenal boss is known for developing young people, and Chen Fan is only 18 years old.

Wenger showed a rare smile and said with a smile: "Yes, we have to make full use of this to impress Chen!" ā€

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shines amazingly, and Amsterdam is like a giant steamer, and the whole city is plunged into heat.

A Mercedes Benz drove into Ajax's headquarters, and Arsene Wenger and his assistant got out of the car and walked into the office building. The Ajax staff took the initiative to step forward and lead them to the elevator to the general manager's office.

Arsene Wenger and his entourage walked into the office of Ajax general manager Rick van den Berg, and the two warmly hugged each other and greeted each other.

Subsequently, the host and guest sat on the black sofa, and the cold wind from the central air conditioning faded the stuffiness of Wenger and his party.

Rick Van den Berg looked at Arsene Wenger and smiled and said: "I'm afraid this time I'm going to break your old style." ā€

Arsene Wenger said: "Since I'm here, it shows my sincerity and my ambition. In terms of price, we can negotiate until we reach a mutually satisfactory figure. ā€

"Style or something, it's a burden for people of our age. I'm going to throw away the burden this time, but you can't open your mouth too much. ā€

Arsene Wenger looked at Rick van den Berg and said: "I came with a lot of sincerity and I hope to be satisfied. ā€

Rick Van den Berg said in a deep voice: "Chen's value is well known, you have to give a price that matches his value, this is the real sincerity!" ā€

The atmosphere of harmony immediately changed, and the two sides entered a state of battle.

This is a battlefield without gunpowder, and the two sides compete in wisdom and patience, as well as sincerity and money.

Wenger pondered for a moment and asked, "What's your bottom line?" ā€

No one expected Wenger to enter this link so quickly, and the room suddenly fell silent, and all that could be heard was the breathing of everyone.
