"You're crazy"

In the luxurious room of the Bulgari Hotel, which claims to be the most luxurious in London, Mijatovic was pointing at Eliza Moon, who was sitting in front of him, with slender fingers and an elegant and indifferent smile.

This hotel is next to the south of Hyde Park, next to the Harrods department store, and the decoration style of each room is designed by professional designers, especially the deluxe rooms, which are as high as 850 pounds a night, which is equivalent to 8,500 yuan if converted into RMB, which is the most expensive luxury hotel in London.

Of course, for Mr. Mijatovic, who travels at public expense, money is not important at all.

"I must warn you, Mr. Mijatovic." Although she was pointed at, Eliza was not angry at all, and her voice was very soft and soft, "Luther is indeed thirty years old, and he is about to be thirty-one, but he won the Golden Boot in the Premier League and Europe last season, and so far, his form is still quite good, and it is not a problem to continue to maintain his current form." ”

When Eliza said this, she smiled faintly again, but this smile was somewhat sneering in Mijatovic's eyes.

"I'm sure you know better than I am that at a time when even Pepe can sell for 30 million euros, and a 29-year-old Henry who has been out injured for more than half a year and is clearly starting to decline, is worth more than 20 million, I think Ruud van Nistelrooy's 40 million euros is completely reasonable."

The transfer market this summer is indeed a bit outrageous, from Manchester United signing Nani and Anderson for more than 20 million euros in one go, and Real Madrid signing Pepe for 30 million euros, the entire transfer market is rising with the tide, almost as long as a little famous, the transfer fee is often 10 million or 20 million.

"It's impossible for us to pay such a high transfer fee for a 31-year-old veteran," Mijatovic said to Eliza Moon with great certainty, if Ruud van Nistelrooy is a young player, it can still be considered, because the transfer fee is high, the salary can be appropriately reduced, and overall, Real Madrid's contribution will not be too outrageous.

But who is Fanny?

When the world's No. 1 center forward, especially after winning the Golden Boot last season, he is once again firmly in the current position of the chief center forward, for such a player, especially considering his age, it is almost impossible for him to take a pay cut, then Real Madrid's contribution is too great, and even ridiculously large.

"Then we won't have anything to talk about" Eliza heard him say this, and stood up directly, "I think there will be someone more sincere than you" After saying that, Eliza left.

Mijatovic watched the woman walk out of the room, his hands clenched into fists and pounded on the fluffy sofa, he clearly felt that he was being belittled, and he even felt that Eliza Moon's offer for AC Milan and Inter Milan must not be so high.

According to the news obtained by Mijatovic, Inter Milan's psychological price for Vanney is about 20 million euros, and there is a gap of 5 million euros between Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur, so he originally wanted to buy Vanney at a price of about 25 million, but now it seems that Tottenham Hotspur seems to be sitting on the ground.

This is also a very normal thing, no matter when, Real Madrid buys people to be slaughtered, but in the Calderón period, this phenomenon is becoming more and more outrageous, mainly because of their lack of connections, lack of relationships and means.

When Mohamed Diarra was introduced from Lyon, Lyon President Aulas gave others the first offer of 8 million euros, but when Real Madrid intervened, Mohamed Diarra's value skyrocketed, and he directly shouted 30 million euros, and then negotiated all the way, but in the end he only talked about 26 million euros.

Almost all teams now treat Real Madrid as a big wrongdoer, as a big fat sheep to slaughter.

Even sometimes Mijatovic feels that a very important reason why Florentino is willing to buy only the most expensive is that since buying cheap first-class players will be slaughtered, then I would rather buy the most expensive ones, even if they are slaughtered, I can use the influence and appeal of superstars to recover the cost.

"Hey, Ramon," Mijatovic called Real Madrid president Calderón, "the conversation has collapsed."

"What's going on?" Calderón was a little silent on the other side of the phone, he had just shouted in the newspaper El País two days ago that he would definitely take Vanney, and now his general manager actually told him that the talks had collapsed?

Mijatovic wanted to say, you yourself have a big mouth in the newspaper, so that now everyone knows that we must buy Vanney, let the other party do the price of the land, and ask me what's the matter? But he knew very well that with Calderon's temper and character now, if he said this, the two would definitely fall out, so he held back.

"Tottenham Hotspur sat on the ground and offered Inter Milan 25 million, but they offered us 40 million euros, and I talked to their CP for more than an hour and refused to give up a single step."

In Ye Qiu's previous life, some people said that Calderon and Mijatovic made black gold in the transfer of players, which is difficult to say, but it is very difficult to operate, and relatively speaking, the risk is not small, after all, the transfer is facing many clubs and intermediary operators, it is difficult to achieve complete confidentiality, and the operation and negotiation methods of the two are indeed very clumsy.

Relatively speaking, they make more money in the authorization of club and star image rights than in the transfer market, just imagine, in just three or four years, Real Madrid, whose brand value ranks first in football, has made the brand reputation plummet, which shows how much Real Madrid's brand has been ruined by them over the years, and the money they have made from it is definitely an astonishing number.

Of course, it's not just Calderón and Mijatovic, it's the entire operational team behind them, isn't that why they supported Calderón in the first place?

Calderón was silent on the phone for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's talk again"

"Still talking?" Mijatovic was a little surprised, the other party offered a price of 40 million euros, and he still didn't give an inch, and he still talks?

"We've got to bring in a superstar this summer, we can do without Ruud van Nistelrooy, but we need another superstar, what do you think?" Calderón asked in turn.

The meaning is obvious, what you said, they want a superstar and give them a superstar, and now I can be embarrassed and it doesn't matter, but you have to give me a superstar, look at the current football world, you go to find it, as long as there is a superstar who can replace Vanney, I will agree.

Mijatovic is a little difficult, because there are many top stars in football now, but basically they are already famous flowers, and the possibility of persuading the other party to release people is very low, especially the striker, this position is already very valuable, who knows that Real Madrid wants to introduce a strong striker, who will not do the starting price?

It is only now that Mijatovic has truly felt a rule in the transfer market.

The transfer fee for a player is not about whether he has that value, but how much you need him

Ye Qiu is very arrogant, he even put Tottenham Hotspur on the same level as Real Madrid, Real Madrid is the general manager, so he arranged for CPO to come out to negotiate, which is obviously a contempt for Real Madrid currently managed by Mijatovic.

Thinking of this, Mijatovic sighed deeply, becoming the general manager of Real Madrid is indeed majestic, but the problem is that the pressure is also very high, and even sometimes, he has no choice at all

After hanging up Calderón's phone, he dialed Eliza Moon again, saying that he hoped that negotiations would take place tomorrow, but hoped that Tottenham Hotspur would show further sincerity, and Real Madrid would also give due consideration to Tottenham's interests.

This is also an atmosphere that Tottenham Hotspur has been deliberately using the media to create in the past period, that is, Ruud van Nistelrooy is the guarantee of the team's scores, the most important star of the team, and the club will never let go, while other teams interested in Ruud van Nistelrooy naturally have only one option, to poach with money.

With most of June passing, the curtain of the Copa America is about to open, and the eyes of the world's media are focused on Venezuela in South America, and Tottenham Hotspur has also specially arranged a scouting team, led by Peter Devisel, to Venezuela to inspect this year's Copa America.

Tottenham Hotspur also represented the national team in the Copa America, with Marcelo, Alves and Thiago Silva all in the Copa America squad for Brazil, as well as youngster Anderson, who has just moved to Manchester United.

This is also because several superstars, including Ronaldinho and Kaka, have not been able to enter the Copa America squad, so this year's Brazilian national team, Dunga still wants to inspect the players more.

Messi and Mascherano of the Argentine national team, Cavani of Uruguay, Vargas of Peru, and Tottenham Hotspur have a total of seven players participating in this edition of the Copa America, and Ye Qiu also informed these players early that after the Copa America game, they will also get a two-week rest period, and then go to the team for training

However, Tottenham Hotspur's transfer pace has not slowed down because of the approaching Copa America, and on the 18th of U, Tottenham Hotspur's official website announced that the team brought in midfield core Luka Modric from Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia for 8 million euros.

Around the same time, Arsenal also announced the arrival of striker Eduardo da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb for €7.5 million, while Manchester City brought in Dinamo Zagreb defender Joel Luca for €6 million.

For a while, the entire central axis of Dinamo Zagreb was emptied by the top three of the Premier League, and the whole of Europe was amused by the three teams of the Premier League for this poaching of the Croatian giants, and even joked that this was a ransack from the Premier League, which completely made Dinamo Zagreb ineffective.

But two days after the transfer was announced, Tottenham Hotspur announced another surprising move, with the team's main centre-forward Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy finally breaking the record set by Batistuta when he moved to Roma in UU and moved to La Liga giants Real Madrid for 35 million euros.

This is definitely a seismic transfer, and at least no one can believe that Real Madrid would pay such a high transfer fee for Ruud van Nistelrooy, because there is no guarantee that Ruud van Nistelrooy will be able to maintain his peak form last season, after all, he will be 31 years old by July.

But when announcing this transfer, Real Madrid's president Calderón and general manager Mijatovic have repeatedly said that Ruud van Nistelrooy's form is very good, and the arrival of the Dutchman can greatly strengthen Real Madrid's forward lethality.

"We all know that Batistuta used to be the transfer record for a player over 30 in world football, but now it belongs to Ruud van Nistelrooy, because we believe that Ruud van Nistelrooy is in better shape and quality than he was at that time."

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who went to Madrid, Spain for a medical examination and joining ceremony, expressed his gratitude to Tottenham Hotspur in an interview, believing that he had reached the peak of his career at Tottenham Hotspur, and also thanked Ye Qiu for taking care of and trusting him, but he also hoped that he could go to the next level in Real Madrid

'I'm thankful to Tottenham but I belong to Real Madrid now and I want to score more goals for Real Madrid in the new season because I feel like I'm in very good shape and I have a very strong desire to score.

Head coach Schuster also said that the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy can greatly strengthen Real Madrid's attacking power, and he firmly believes that the attacking combination of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul, Robinho, Robben, Van der Vaart and Sneijder will make the front court invincible.

"In the new season we are going to have an attacking storm and we are going to make all the Bernabeu fans happy and we will win all the games and the championships"

At the same time, Real Madrid also announced the introduction of Heinze from Chelsea, for which they paid 12 million euros, which is also a signal that Real Madrid will further strengthen the team's backline after the decision to let go of Robert Carlos.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy announced his landing in La Liga, Arsenal also announced that Henry would switch to Barcelona for 24 million euros, but Wenger used the money to bring in a number of powerful stars such as Da Silva, Las Diarra, Sagna, etc., and Spanish star Reyes, who went on loan to Real Madrid last season, was sent to Atletico Madrid by Wenger.

Atletico Madrid's introduction of Reyes was accompanied by the transfer of the team's top scorer, Spanish golden boy Torres, to the Reds Liverpool for 36 million euros, the highest transfer fee so far this summer.

But at the same time, Liverpool also acquired winger Ryan Babel from Ajax for 14 million euros, which can be added to 17 million euros for a transfer fee, which also makes Liverpool in the new season very eye-catching, especially the team's attacking line, which is even more exciting.

Perhaps feeling the rush from rivals for reinforcements, Chelsea also brought in winger Malouda from Ligue 1 after selling Heinze to further strengthen the team's attacking power on the wings, which made Manchester United, the defending champions, feel the pressure to continue to strengthen negotiations with West Ham United in a bid to win Tevez before the Copa America

However, West Ham do not seem to have such a desire, preferring to negotiate after the Copa America, because for a player like Tevez, the value of the Copa America must skyrocket as long as he performs well.

Tevez, who is in Venezuela, said he hopes West Ham can reach an agreement with Manchester United as soon as possible, and he believes he will succeed at Manchester United, while Ferguson also said that Tevez is the player who best fits the spirit of Manchester United's Red Devils and will be a vital member of the team.

While other competitors are aggressively recruiting and fans around the world are amazed by the wealth of Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur has changed its pride of squandering more than 100 million last season and has become a little stingy.

Selling Ruud van Nistelrooy, the team got 35 million euros, but the introduction of Modric cost 10 million, plus Ramsey, it was only 2 million, and the rest still has more than 20 million euros in the transfer fee, and even this does not take into account Ye Qiu's budget for additional transfer fees.

But just when all Tottenham Hotspur fans were looking forward to it, Ye Qiu said in an interview that the team will not introduce any more forwards, because he believes that the current team's forward line is enough to cope with any challenge.

'Yes, there is no doubt that the departure of Luther is a huge loss for us, we lost the most important scorer of last season, but I have always said that we are not a one-man team, we rely on a holistic style of play, we have Van Persie, Cavani and Carroll in the team, all very good and very promising forwards.

'In the new season, we will try to adjust the attacking style of play and I am sure that you will see a very different Tottenham Hotspur team than last season and we will become more attacking.

For Ye Qiu's promise, the media and fans are mixed, many people feel that Ye Qiu began to learn from Abramovich to tighten the silver roots, but there are also many Tottenham Hotspur fans agree, because the total investment in the construction of Theobald training base in the past year has now exceeded 80 million euros.

This is the most advanced and perfect training base in the world, and it is also recognized by fans as the most beautiful training base in the environment, so for Tottenham Hotspur fans, as long as they can ensure the stability of the team's results, it is understandable that they will not invest in additional investment for the time being, but will switch to the team's hardware facilities.

In Ye Qiu's view, in addition to the introduction of young players such as Modric, Ramsey, and Neymar, Vanney's income is all invested in the Theobald training base, which can just fill the funding gap for the construction of the youth training area of the Theobald training base, saving the financial pressure of Tottenham Hotspur.

Therefore, from the construction of the Theobold training base to the completion, Tottenham Hotspur did not invest much at all, all relying on the operation of the transfer market and the difference between the transfer and sale of players

But such a training base has made the overall market value of Tottenham Hotspur at least 200 million higher, if you count Tottenham Hotspur's current lineup, the outside valuation, if you want to buy Tottenham Hotspur again, don't think about it without 500 million.

In just one year, from the acquisition of 200 million to the market value of 500 million, Tottenham Hotspur has undoubtedly surprised all investors in the world, and the operation and operation skills of Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon are also amazing.
