Chapter 477: I, Qu Bo, permanently quit the national team
The second person to be dug by Mu Shuai is Bellerin.
Bellerin, Arsenal's main right wing-back. Born in '95, he is known for his speed. The man who claims to be able to chase back the upper bell. He and Theo Walcott hold the record for the fastest sprint time in the Premier League this season.
Poaching people from Arsenal is not as difficult as it used to be.
As we all know, Arsenal has two major shareholders. One is the American Kroenke, and the other is the Russian billionaire Usmanov. Combined, the combined wealth of these two men has reached £12 billion.
Although the owner has money, Arsenal has been extremely stingy in the transfer market in recent years. It's not that Wenger loves to be calculating, it's because... These two bosses are too picky!
Kroenke's purpose in investing in Arsenal is to invest. Usmanov's investment in Arsenal was aimed at transferring out some of the huge gray fortunes he had earned by building monopoly trusts in Russia.
One to make money and one to launder money. Football and Arsenal are just a tool for them. They won't be like Huddersfield United's die-hard chairman Hoyle, who has poured his money into helping his childhood idol team.
I don't know if these two bosses took the initiative to release the news. Before the transfer period, the "Sun" broke the news: an Arsenal senior management said on a certain occasion: Arsenal has no players that cannot be sold, only negotiating inappropriate prices!
Arsenal finished fourth in the league this season and fifth last season, and the two owners have clearly had enough of Arsenal's tool. Selling players for a profit is the fastest way to get back your money urgently.
That's why Class of '92 veteran Bart hates foreign capital predators who buy Premier League teams. The financial predators have no affection for the team. In their eyes, the Premier League club they bought is just a tool for their profit.
Manchester United are also a tool in the hands of owner Glazer Jr. It's just that the little Glazer makes money is different from Kroenke and Usmanov. His current strategy is to invest enough money for Manchester United, bring excellent results, gather more teams, and develop a bigger market...
All in all, Bellerin, although he is Arsenal's main full-back, is definitely not for sale.
Arsenal's contract with Bellerin, who was born in '95, has five years left to end. There is no doubt that if Bellerin is poached to Manchester United, Manchester United will pay a sky-high transfer fee.
However, Mu Shuai has a budget of 500 million pounds in his hands, and he is now a real landowner. As soon as the transfer window began, he sent someone to make contact with Arsenal.
Arsenal's attitude is quite interesting: to buy Bellerin? Oops, how could it be. The 23-year-old has a bright future! Coach Wenger will never let him go! Besides, Bellerin was developed as the world's number one right wing-back。。。。。 Don't go, guest officer! Then again, let's be honest, how much can you give? Are you afraid Wenger will disagree? It doesn't matter, Arsene Wenger is only working for the shareholders of the club, not the owner! Just negotiate the price!
Jose Mourinho knows that Arsenal can definitely sell Bellerin. It's just a matter of price, and it takes a lot of long-winded back and forth.
Mourinho gave the scout in charge of the deal a bottom line: a transfer fee of £35 million, or a £20 million Galindelof exchange.
Lindelof is also on Mourinho's purge list anyway. Mourinho's advocacy for the introduction of Victor Lindelof last season caused a financial loss to United. It's better to use it and use his top £15 million transfer fee to buy part of the bill for last season's failed recruitment.
At the same time, Bayern also sent a reply to Mourinho: Hummels can be sold. Come on, talk about the price.
Clearly, Bayern's hierarchy is struggling with the irreconcilable contradictions between the number one centre-back and the manager. Instead of really making Hummels a season cold bench, it is better to throw this hot potato.
In the European transfer market, the bigger the stars, the more they will trade as soon as the transfer window closes.
In fact, the fate of the superstars was already set when the transfer opened in July. These two months are a time of repeated see-saw and bargaining between clubs and clubs.
The transfer of Bellerin and Hummels has gradually taken shape and Mourinho is in a good mood.
On the weekend, he made a phone call and asked his captain Liu Yun to come to the Laurie Hotel where he lived for lunch.
Liu Yun came to the restaurant on the top floor of the Lawry Hotel, where Mu Shuai was already waiting.
The appetizers were served, and the two talked while eating.
"Hey, Liu, tell you a secret, don't spread it. My next target is Bellerin. There is already a 90% certainty that he can be poached from Arsenal. Mu Shuai said proudly.
Liu Yun was a little surprised: "Such a big deal? Didn't you tell me when you came back last time I went to Munich that Hummels' transfer fee would be around 50 million euros? Hummels is the best centre-back of the moment. Bellerin is the best and fastest right wing-back in the Premier League. His price should not be much lower than Hummels. ”
Mu Shuai smiled and said, "It's expensive." Of course, good players will be expensive! Thankfully, the board of directors gave me a budget for a transfer fee. Since the boss gave me the opportunity to build a galactic battleship, I certainly wouldn't save the boss money. ”
Mu Shuai said to Liu Yun again: "Barcelona seem to be interested in Anthony Martial. Anthony Martial is also willing to go to Barca. Guess what is the bottom line of the club's transfer fee for Anthony Martial? ”
The bottom line of a player's transfer fee is the club's biggest secret during the transfer period.
Liu Yun firmly believes in one thing: don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
He shook his head: "I can't guess, and I don't want to know." ”
Mu Shuai took a sip of wine: "It's okay. You are the captain of Manchester United. I trust you. Let me tell you, 50 million euros is the bottom line. The price offered in the first transfer talks was €75 million. There is no way, Anthony Martial believes that with the aura of you and Lukaku, he cannot grow into an international superstar. He was determined to leave, and I couldn't stay. ”
Mu Shuai continued: "We will not stay if you want to leave. If you want to stay, we won't let it go! Schalke 04 offered a transfer fee of 3 million euros to the promising Qu a while ago. For a young man with no experience in the top five leagues, a transfer fee of 3 million euros is a lot. But we directly counteroffered 10 million euros. ”
Liu Yun was speechless: "Qu is now worth 10 million euros? ”
Mu Shuai shook his head: "Of course it's not worth it." To open a price that is impossible to sell, is to tell Schalke 04 that the song is not for sale. I know that your relationship with Qu is also a teacher and a friend. You tell him for me not to relax just because he won the best rookie last season. Train hard, compete, improve yourself. As long as I'm still coaching at Manchester United, I'll get him back to Old Trafford as soon as he meets the labor certification requirements! This guy is very much like Bell when he was young. ”
Hearing Mu Shuai say this, Liu Yun was happy for his little brother Qu Bai from the bottom of his heart.
said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao called.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, are you busy?"
"I'm having dinner with Mu Shuai, what's wrong? I took a look at the friendly match of the national football team last night. Seeing that you didn't start, you didn't watch again. ”
"Uncle, in an hour, I will officially announce to the outside world that I will permanently withdraw from the national team!"
"What? What's wrong? ”
"What's wrong? I'm disappointed in the national team! Disappointed in those so-called 'teammates' of the national team! That's why! ”
