Chapter 518: Sixty Million Pounds
When Valencia defeated Barcelona 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu, they were declared the Spanish club's first-ever treble-winners, with three titles to their league title, Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.
The next day, the major newspapers were headlined that Valencia became the first treble winner of the Spanish club, and Elo, who was the most crucial member, was naturally also in the key report.
Among them, the London newspaper "The Times" said the problem from the perspective of Airo's achievement of Valencia's treble: "The final of the 2006-2007 Spanish Copa del Rey came to an end last night, and the favored Valencia defeated Barcelona 4:2 at the Bernabeu Stadium, in which their star Ai dominated the final with two goals and two assists, so to speak, Valencia was able to win the La Liga title, Eighty percent of the credit for the Champions League and the Copa del Rey is on him, with 47 goals in 37 league games, 21 goals in 13 Champions League games, and 9 goals in 5 Copa del Rey games, and 77 goals in the whole season, which is terrifying and unacceptable......
Later, he also talked about the possibility of Ailo's transfer: "Ai in such a hot state will definitely attract the competition of major giants, because he is not destined to be retained by Valencia, a second-tier giant team in Spain, plus they have suffered a serious economic crisis, and selling players is the only way for them to survive, and Ai, as the most valuable player in the team, has the highest possibility of selling, just like their captain Mendieta......"
"Marca" also first affirmed the achievements of Valencia FC, and then also talked about the possibility of Ailo's next stop: "According to Real Madrid's sports director Mijatovic, after the end of this season's La Liga, it will officially propose to Valencia for acquisition, and the offer is not low, with Robinhoga more than 30 million euros in cash, and simply from this point it can be seen that Calderón, who successfully ran for the president of Real Madrid last year, is determined to win Ai!" ”
"Torino Sport" said: "After last season's 'phonegate' incident, Juventus tried their courage, after a season of lurking in Serie B, this year as the Serie B champion back to Serie A, now is the time to employ people, before the arrival of the new season, hired former Valencia coach Ranieri to become the team's manager, I believe Ai will not turn a blind eye to his mentor Ranieri who has cultivated the grace......
Sure enough, Juventus coach Ranieri, who had just held a press conference in Turin, said to the media: "It will take at least three to five years for Juventus to become the dominant Serie A again, but if Ai can come, I can say that we will be the Serie A champions this time next year!" ”
Ranieri might have been skeptical if he had said this a year ago, but now it's different, how can a player who can break out in the domestic league, domestic cup and Champions League all be a shooting star?
Anyone who knows a little bit about football knows that it is entirely possible for Ello to lead Juventus back to the top!

Now the whole of Europe is speculating about Elo's next stop, and Valencia's die-hard fans are also hoping that the team will keep Eloh less and less, until the 38th round of the league at home to Real Sociedad, Valencia FC announced a piece of news:
"It's always sad to announce this, but I have to inform our supporters that after the 38th round of the season, Ai will move to Chelsea FC in England, to thank Ai for his contribution to the club over the past two and a half seasons, two league titles, a League Cup, two Copa del Rey titles, and a UEFA Champions League title, but at this time I have to say goodbye, because now is the most difficult time for the club, I hope everyone can understand. However, we all believe that this goodbye is not a goodbye forever and hopefully he can get more honours at Chelsea......
"Finally, I hope you can come to the Mestalla Stadium in the last league game, so let's send off our heroes......
In fact, this final round of the league at home was a farewell to the old captain Canizares, but now it has become a farewell to Iro, which has to make the fans with high expectations feel a bit disappointed.
It would have been normal for players to retire, Canizares is 38 years old this year, and retirement is a matter of time, but Iello is only 21 years old this year, and there are more than ten years left in his career, and many die-hard Valencia fans hope to see the day when Iello retires at the Mestalla Stadium, just like Roma's Totti and Juventus' Piero......
Immediately afterwards, Chelsea's official website also announced the news: "We are very honoured to welcome the first World Footballer of the Year, and I believe that with Ai joining the team, we will become even stronger, and the hope of winning the European Champions Cup in the future is also growing......
When the official websites of both clubs announced the ownership of Iro, many media shifted the issue to Iro's value, which was valued at 60 million euros by the authoritative German newspaper "Transfer Market", but this value should be a bit low for the current Aelo.
As a player who has scored 40+ goals in two consecutive seasons in the league, he is fully worthy of 60 million euros, and if you add the 16+ goals in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, then this value will increase.
You must know that when the summer transfer window opened last year, Shepchenko, who was over 30 years old, was sold for 50 million euros, and Elo, who is only 21 now, surpassed Shepchenko in terms of potential and strength, and it is normal to exceed 60 million euros.
However, when the reporter interviewed the specific transfer number of the two clubs, there was no positive response to the media.
But neither club has released specific transfer figures, so can't the media dig out?
As long as the answer is the result that the reporter wants to know, no matter how closely it is obscured, it will be dug up!
Because the energy of the media is very large, and the transfer is not a confidential content in European football, under the excavation of people with intentions, the whole picture of this transfer is finally shown in front of everyone's eyes little by little.
A day later, the day before Valencia hosted Real Sociedad, the headline in The Times was this: Surprising transfer! 60 million pounds!!
Many people have speculated about the approximate transfer fee of Airo, after all, he has two years left on his contract with Valencia, and his steady performance in the past two seasons is enough to make him worth more than 60 million euros.
If the German authority "Transfer Market" previously valued Aiello at 60 million euros, then the psychological price of many clubs is between 70 million euros and 80 million euros, because the specific buyout price of the player is not as estimated by "Transfer Market", the actual price is higher.
But when the transfer fee was revealed, it was still very surprising.
How much is £60 million?
The equivalent of euros is 88,360,000! Converted into RMB, it is 910.79 million!!
What's going on?
The record holder for the sky-high transfer fee in international football was Zinedine Zidane's transfer from Juventus to Real Madrid in 2001, when it was 73.5 million euros!
In other words, Elo's transfer from Valencia to Chelsea has set a new transfer record in world football.
So when the news is flying all over Europe, reporters flock to London, anyway, today's traffic is very developed, and the news is flying all over the sky in the morning, and many reporters have come to London in the afternoon.
But now that the Premier League teams have started to take a holiday, the reporters were unable to interview Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, but fortunately they did interview Chelsea's chief executive, Kenyon.
In the face of the reporter's sudden question, he didn't seem surprised, but was very happy to accept the reporter's interview: "Is 60 million pounds expensive?" I don't think so, just like Ai, he was born specifically to break records, La Liga single-season goal record, Champions League single-season goal record, the youngest Champions League final hat trick, senior happiness and a series of records...... And the transfer fee naturally has to be worthy of his own value, so I don't think it's much! ”
Domineering! Rich is a bull fork!!
That's what a lot of journalists have to say about Chelsea today.
However, the real price for Chelsea is far from worth it.
※※※
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Valencia and Chelsea have reached a consensus, and the news has been announced on each other's official websites, just wait for the end of La Liga Ailo to go to Chelsea for a medical examination, as long as there are no physical hidden dangers, then the deal can be made.
A new transfer record in world football!
Valencia's final round of La Liga in 2006-2007 was played at the Mestalla Stadium, a sold-out match, and it is worth mentioning that tens of thousands of unticketed fans were waiting outside the stadium.
The game at home was both Elo's last game for Valencia and Canizares' boot hanging ceremony, so the club wore the captain's armband when he came out of the game to show respect for the veteran and did not hand it to Albelda until half-time.
And, of course, there's a grand boot hanging ceremony.
However, there was a small episode at this time, Albelda did not wear the captain's armband himself, but tied the captain's armband directly to the arm of Iello, who also played the last league game at the Mestalla Stadium.
In the end, Valencia drew 3-3 at home to Real Sociedad, with Ello scoring two goals with an overhead kick to put his tally at 49.
The climax of the game was when Iroh was substituted in the 79th minute, and the more than 50,000 fans in the stadium sang "The Song of Ai" neatly, and then added a sentence at the end: "Goodbye, our king!" ”
As a strong man, Iroh couldn't help shedding a few tears in this atmosphere.
Goodbye, Valencia!
Goodbye, Mestalla!
PS: Let's start a new charter and create a new legend together!!
