In London, England, there is also someone who is thinking about this issue, and that is the chairman of Chelsea, Russian predator Roman Roman Abramovich.

He has now basically broken with Mourinho completely.

Although Chelsea's defense of the Premier League title this season is not a problem, what Abramovich wants is not so simple, investing 100 million euros a year in exchange for the Premier League title? That was definitely a great failure.

He wanted more.

He also wants Chelsea to be the most popular team in the world, so his goal must not be limited to second-rate stars, he must bring first-class stars.

There were two chances when he was able to bring Zhang Tiehan to Stamford Bridge, but both failed due to Mourinho's problems, and now when the previously confident Portuguese faces him, he will not know what to say, right?

That's 100 million euros!

In the first season, he only needed more than 10 million euros to bring Zhang Tiehan to Stamford Bridge, and the result? It fell through, and the deal didn't happen because Zhang Tiehan was not Mourinho's target.

Now if you want to take Zhang Tiehan away from Liverpool, I am afraid that it will take ten times the funds.

Jose Mourinho brought two Premier League titles to Chelsea, but the price was lost to 100 million euros, which was too high a price, but Abramovich didn't care, he still wanted to bring Zhang Tiehan to Stamford Bridge.

In the summer, he has two main targets: Zhang Tiehan and Ronaldinho.

These two are players who can stir up world football, they can be the absolute heart of a team, and Abramovich knows a lot about football, and he knows that such players are different from other stars, and they can change a team, not just after entering the team like Drogba. In fact, the difference between having him and not having him is not very big.

Then there are his fellow countrymen Shepchenko, Samuel Eto'o, Thierry Henry and other goalscorers, who are also on Abramovich's target, but these are secondary targets.

The secondary goal is to say that if you can get it, you can fight for it, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it.

For the main goal, Abramovich has been working on it. But he knows Ronaldinho will be difficult to come to Chelsea, but maybe the Liverpudlians can't resist the lure of money?

He had always thought so.

Now is also the time for quotations.

Money really doesn't mean much to him, in fact everyone knows it, and Chelsea made another offer for Samuel Eto'o before the Barcelona and Liverpool game.

76 million euros!

As in previous operations, Abramovich did not bend his knee to meet with Laporta directly, and it was CEO Kenyan who met with Laporta. said that he wanted to buy Eto'o for 76 million euros, but Laporta didn't even think about it and told him: "If you take all the money from all over the world, we won't sell it." ”

This is the second time in eight months that Laporta has repeated the phrase, with Chelsea offering Eto'o €50 million last year also flatly rejected.

Laporta also told Samuel Eto'o about Chelsea's offer and the decision he made, and the Cameroonian once again expressed his gratitude to the chairman for believing in him so much.

After the news was revealed by Daily Sport, Eto'o said with unusual composure: "I don't care about anything outside the club now, I only think about the league and the Champions League. Eto'o then expressed his gratitude to Laporta in public again. He's a very important person for me. I owe him so much. ”

The two sang and harmonized, which really broke Abramovich's heart.

That's 76 million euros!

Even if Barcelona agrees to Eto'o, Abramovich feels that he is a little wronged, not to mention that the other party also sternly refused, so in the transfer of Zhang Tiehan, Abramovich will not be stingy at all.

After the return of the entire Liverpool squad from Spain. The Sun revealed a news about Chelsea's offer for Zhang Tiehan - 85 million euros, and there is even a grapevine that Chelsea are willing to add an additional striker Gudjohnsson to the transfer price of 85 million euros.

Considering how Gudjohnson is worth more than 10 million euros, Chelsea's spending is really too big. Zhang Tiehan's offer reached almost 100 million euros.

In response, Chelsea CEO Kenyan came forward to say: "We have 150 million euros for Zhang's transfer, and within this range, we can all accept it. That being said, there are a number of English media analyses that Chelsea can afford to pay a higher price.

Many people sympathize with Liverpool being poached, but in fact, there are still many people who sympathize with Abramovich in Zhang Tiehan's transfer, and now many people know that Zhang Tiehan did not transfer to Chelsea before because of Mourinho's relationship, and Abramovich has been chasing Zhang Tiehan for two seasons.

These two seasons are also the seasons in which Zhang Tiehan became famous step by step.

Until his value increased by more than ten times, Abramovich still did not give up, the two may be able to write a touching story that can be sung and criedWell, after all, Abramovich and Zhang Tiehan have a lot to say.

However, many Liverpool media still published articles strongly urging Liverpool FC to reject Chelsea's poaching.

It was also rumored that Chelsea was going to poach Zhang Tiehan, but the media and fans actually didn't care, after all, Zhang Tiehan's value is very high, and the average team can't poach him, and Zhang Tiehan is so good, fans also think that the club will not sell him.

But with the lure of Chelsea's €100 million, can a club with financial problems withstand it?

Nobody knows

While the outside media continued to report on the matter, Liverpool and Chelsea had actually begun to negotiate privately.

Speaking of negotiations, in fact, Liverpool have been waiting for Chelsea's offer for a long time.

In the eyes of the Liverpool club, Zhang Tiehan is by no means a 'non-sale', he is different from Gerrard, Gerrard is the banner of Liverpool, even if he sells anyone, Gerrard can never be sold, some people say 'without Gerrard, Liverpool cannot be called a giant'. Liverpool FC also thinks so, Gerrard is Liverpool's star and cannot be sold for any amount of money.

Zhang Tiehan is different.

He has nothing to do with Liverpool, he is not a player trained in Liverpool's academy, but a player that Benitez has specifically offered to buy in preparation for the new season. In the eyes of Liverpool's top management, Zhang Tiehan's arrival is a deal, a business, and now this investment is really profitable, and he will make a move when he can, what if Zhang Tiehan is injured or sick after that, or there are other accidents?

They can't guarantee it.

So they will accept offers from other clubs, the difference is just whether they can make them feel good or not.

How much is Zhang Tiehan worth?

If Zhang Tiehan stays in Liverpool, Liverpool will earn income from business every year. It has just made up for his own salary, in addition to what he brings is results, Zhang Tiehan's table is quite good this season, he brought Liverpool to the semi-finals, but that is still a matter of income, the extra Champions League games can bring Liverpool more than 20 million euros in income.

That's all.

Coupled with Zhang Tiehan's own value, "France Football" is estimated at 60 million euros, plus some other influences. The general value is around 80 million euros, and the Liverpool club itself will also evaluate Zhang Tiehan's price. Their estimate is roughly around 90 million to 100 million euros, and beyond this price, they can completely sell Zhang Tiehan.

This is the floor price in their hearts.

Chelsea made an offer, 85 million euros plus Gudjohnson, which was enough value for Liverpool, so they patted CEO Parry to make sure of it. It's very secretive and only a few people know about it.

The man sent from Chelsea's side was CEO Kenyon.

Such a large deal can only be brought forward by Kenyon or Abramovich himself, Abramovich will definitely not come forward in person, then it can only be Kenyon.

"We don't mind selling Zhang. I wouldn't mind selling to Chelsea either, but Mr Kenyon, you should know the quality of Zhang and his appearance, dare I say he's the best striker in the world, do you believe that? Parry saw Kenyon and pointed out what Liverpool meant.

Kenyon nodded affirmatively, "That's for sure, otherwise Chelsea wouldn't have been targeting Zhang all the time." ”

"I don't think Zhang cares which club he goes to, as long as you can offer him a big contract." Parry said this, thinking that he was deeply impressed by the contract with Zhang Zhenren, and Zhang Tiehan's enthusiasm for money spread widely enough, "But I must make it clear that you can't have any personal contact with Zhang, otherwise we will give up on this deal no matter how much money you pay." ”

That's what worries Liverpool the most.

Involved in Zhang Tiehan's transfer, but a deal of more than 100 million yuan, if there is a little player personal will in this big deal, the loss is not a small amount, Chelsea can take advantage of this, and it is common to offer 20 million euros less.

That's nothing for Chelsea, they have a rich owner, but Liverpool have always had financial problems, in fact, selling Zhang Tiehan for 100 million euros, their economy is just flattening, at least for the next three years.

Importantly, Liverpool have been in deficit due to their perennial failure to win titles, and they need to invest a lot of money every year to run the club, which is the most important reason for them to run the club.

For clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid, their economies are functioning normally, they are like a big company, and the shareholders can still get a lot of income every year, while Liverpool is in deficit every year, and they have to invest in the team every year to maintain their operations, and the difference can be imagined.

Kenyon assured that 'Mr Parry, you should trust Chelsea's credibility and we will never have any personal contact with a player without an agreement with Liverpool FC. ”

Parry rolled his eyes.

In the past two years, many media have broken the news that Chelsea has had private contact with players, Essien, Phillips, etc., they all went to Chelsea like this, but Chelsea made a lot of money, and the transfer funds were still satisfactory.

"Of course I believe you." Parry was unimpressed, but nodded anyway.

However, he is more concerned about Chelsea's low price, '85 million euros + Gudjohnson' is by no means Chelsea's reserve price, not to mention, Gudjohnson is not the player Liverpool needs, and the outdated Icelandic striker will not be satisfied to make up for the lack of Zhang Tiehan's departure.

He didn't want to sell Zhang Tiehan and let the Spanish champion coach leave.

Parry asked directly, "What is your offer?" ”

"Like I said in the media, we've got 1.5 billion euros in place to run Zhang's transfer. ”

Even if he was prepared, Parry was still taken aback when he heard this number.

That's 1.5 billion euros!

Even if part of it is Chelsea's salary for Zhang Tiehan, the transfer fee must be more than 100 million euros, which is enough money for Liverpool to be carefree for a few years, and to invest a lot of money in the transfer market to buy the stars it needs.

Parry's heart was beating wildly.

But he still held back, pretending to be plain on the surface, and even a little dissatisfied, "Mr. Kenyon, I don't think this is enough to reflect the value of Zhang, you see, he scored five goals in two legs with Barcelona, and almost brought Liverpool to the Champions League semi-finals with one right foot, if you have Zhang, then the Champions League semi-finals next season are guaranteed"

Parry was about to continue, Kenyon waved his hand and interrupted, "Mr. Parry, I came with sincerity, I can guarantee that Zhang's transfer will definitely bring Liverpool more than 100 million euros, in addition, if we have the players you need, we can also make an exchange, this is Chelsea's bottom line." ”

Pavon swallowed.

Chelsea has enough good players, Drogba, Crespo and others are very good in the forward line, if you can get 100 million euros in exchange for two excellent strikers, even Benitez, the champion coach, should be satisfied.

But he still insisted, "I think"

"110 million euros!"

'I think Liverpool FC will consider this move.'

Kenyon smiled.

Parry also smiled, he took the initiative to shake hands with Kenyon, and said, "Mr. Kenyon, I think we can start negotiations on Zhang's transfer, but we must pay attention to confidentiality, you must know that those media reports will still cause a lot of trouble to the club, and our goal for this year has not been achieved, Mr. Benitez still wants to lead the team to defend the Champions League." ”

"I wish you all the best in achieving your goals!" (To be continued......)
