Chapter [359]: Benitez's grand plan
Dongfang Chen is now attending endless celebration banquets in China, and he is really busy.
And Real Madrid Club is also very busy, Real Madrid is going to make a big move this summer, of course, this big move does not refer to the sensational transfer transaction like last year.
This season, Benitez is ready to make a big substitution, looking for a squad that he likes, and many of the current Real Madrid squad have to leave.
For example, the likes of Albiol, Arbeloa, Coentrão and Carvalho in the backline, as well as Las Diarra, Kaka and even Mesut Ozil in midfield, and Higuain up front.
This summer, Benitez is ready for a big purge.
At the end of the season, Portugal's Ricardo Carvalho became the first player to leave Real Madrid, and he moved on a free transfer to Ligue 1 rookie Monaco.
Monaco have just been promoted from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 and they have a big chaebol behind them, and now they are waving cheques and going on a transfer spree.
The popular fried chickens Cavani and Jovetic of the Serie A league, which are now rumored to be in scandal with Monaco, and James Rodriguez of the Portuguese Super League, are all valuable people.
There was even a period of time when it was rumored that Monaco was interested in bringing in Real Madrid's number one star Dongfang Chen. It is said that Monaco is preparing a transfer fee of 150 million for Dongfang Chen, and is also ready to give Dongfang Chen an annual salary of 30 million euros, or after tax!
At that time, this news was very hyped, attracting the attention of countless people, some people said that Monaco was domineering, some people said that Monaco was stupid, and some people directly regarded Monaco as a madman, do you think you can buy Dongfang Chen if you have money?
Real Madrid fans scoffed at this and sarcastically mocked the Monegasque!
There are a lot of transfer rumors about Monaco in the transfer market, and after using Dongfang Chen, the word Monaco has been associated with the names of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Monaco really has a little bit of Abramovich's performance when he was in charge of Chelsea, of course, now Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are not much different, these two teams are now rich, there is no place to spend the money, and it has set off a bloody storm in the transfer market.
Now, as long as there is a little bit of fame in European football, there will be scandals with these two teams.
Also, this season a lot of teams want to invest more, for example, the Premier League teams, who had a very poor performance in the Champions League last season, they don't want to see that again, and they are ready to work hard this summer.
There are a lot of players who are in the mood for Manchester United right now, and there are also a lot of players who have also come into the sights of Manchester City, Chelsea are also strong horses, and Arsenal are also ready to invest heavily this summer in order to appease Wenger's anger.
European football is about to enter an arms race!
Benitez is very busy at the moment, he is looking for the players they need in the transfer market, and the current Real Madrid team still has a lot of problems in Benitez's eyes, otherwise it would not be so difficult for Real Madrid to win the title last season.
Now Real Madrid's backline and midfield are very problematic, especially the backline, now Real Madrid's back line only Sergio Ramos, Pepe, David Luiz, and Marcelo can be used, the rest are either too young, or they are not able to continue to stay in Real Madrid, and must leave.
That is, this summer, Real Madrid will bring in at least one right wing-back, a central defender and a substitute left-back.
This problem is really very serious, and there can even be one more defender in case of emergency.
In the midfield position, Las Diarra's form has declined significantly, and it is clear that he can no longer stay at Real Madrid, and Khedira is often injured and is still recovering from injuries, and it is not known when he will be able to return, and in the defensive midfield position, Real Madrid must find someone to play on.
Moreover, there are also rumors that there is a huge problem between Real Madrid's hierarchy and German midfielder Mesut Ozil, who is likely to leave Real Madrid this summer, so Real Madrid will have to find a replacement striker.
As for the two wings, although Real Madrid have Gareth Bale and Di Maria, Real Madrid will have a lot of games next season, and they must also bring in a wide player who is not too different from these two players.
On the forward line, Real Madrid has Dongchen, Drogba, Morata, and Hernandez on the front line has reached the end of his loan period and has returned to Manchester United.
However, Hernandez is said to have lost a place at Manchester United and is now looking for a home.
Real Madrid's forward line is still a bit weak, but Benitez doesn't like Hernandez anymore, so Real Madrid has no intention of bringing in Hernandez now.
And now Benitez is interested in Liverpool's leading striker Luis Suarez, who brought Luis Suarez to Liverpool in the first place, and there is still a mentor-apprentice relationship between him and Luis Suarez.
Luis Suarez also wants to join the former Bole, and Benitez also wants to bring in Luis Suarez.
Real Madrid's president, Florentino, also thought Luis Suarez was good, and Real Madrid made an offer to Liverpool, which was £28 million. Apparently the offer was quickly rejected by Liverpool.
Liverpudlian people are naturally not satisfied with this price, of course, Liverpool's top management scolded Real Madrid, and they simply looked down on them Liverpool? Do you really think that they Liverpudlians have never seen money? Less than 30 million and you want to take away last season's Premier League top scorer?
Luis Suarez was in excellent form last season, scoring 34 goals in total and beating Chelsea's Cristiano Ronaldo to become the Premier League's top scorer.
Such a super striker only gave less than 30 million pounds? This Nima is simply insulting!
According to the grapevine, the chairman of Liverpool tore this offer to shreds on the spot!
Indeed, Real Madrid's offer is too pitiful, 30 million pounds to buy the Premier League's top scorer? And the top scorer is a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, which is an insult to Suarez.
After discussion, Real Madrid quickly made a second offer, and this time Real Madrid still took out their sincerity, and Real Madrid directly raised the offer to 40 million pounds, which is actually not low.
However, after Liverpool saw this offer, they still rejected Real Madrid's offer very quickly, because at this time they had no idea of selling Suarez at all.
However, Suarez wants to leave Liverpool and he also wants to go to Real Madrid to join his former mentor.
Luis Suarez approached Liverpool's hierarchy to agree to his move, and he wanted to leave the club.
After learning the news, the chairman of Liverpool was very annoyed, he praised the fact that Luis Suarez had been done by Real Madrid, he was very angry, he did not want Luis Suarez to go.
However, now that Luis Suarez himself has offered to leave, there is no way for him to stay with Suarez. The chairman of Liverpool said angrily: "If you want to go, then you have to find a club for yourself that can bid you 70 million pounds!" ”
Hearing this, Suarez's face was gloomy, this Nima is simply deliberately making things difficult!
Seventy million pounds! How much is that? Is anyone willing to pay such a high price? How many people in this world can have such a high value?
Of course, Suarez thinks he can be worth so much money, but will he be able to find such a club for a while? At least Suarez knows that Real Madrid are unlikely to be willing to pay such a high price for him.
Suarez told Benitez the news, and when Benitez learned the news, he groaned, the price of 70 million pounds is too high, really too high.
Although he is very optimistic about Suarez, he still can't come up with so much money to bring in Suarez. Because in this season, he still has a lot of holes to fill, he also needs money, although he has money in his hands, but he has to use this money reasonably, he will not mess up his own plans because of a Suarez.
Benitez told Suarez that he hoped Suarez could put pressure on the Liverpool club to bring the price down.
At this time, Suarez was a little hesitant, he didn't want to tear his face with the Liverpool team.
After that, Suarez asked Benitez about his specific position and status in Benitez's new season.
Benitez told Suarez about his plan, and if Suarez joined Real Madrid, he would gradually change Real Madrid's formation to 442, play a two-striker formation, and let Suarez partner Dongfangchen.
However, Benitez also told Suarez that the plan had to be slow, and that his tactics would slowly transition from a single striker to a double striker.
When he heard the news, Suarez frowned slightly, he understood that at the beginning, after he Suarez went to Real Madrid, he was still only a substitute, and only when he proved that he could adapt to La Liga during the substitute time, then Benitez would change the formation to a two-striker strategy.
Figuring out this time, Luis Suarez frowned, he was in a very unhappy mood, and went to Real Madrid to play as a substitute, which he couldn't accept.
He turned down Benitez on the spot and he wouldn't have left Liverpool if he had been on the bench.
Benitez really values Suarez, he explained to Suarez again that he values Suarez very much, and he introduced Suarez because of Suarez's strength, and Suarez will definitely become the main force of Real Madrid in the future and become Dongfangchen's best partner.
However, Suarez still couldn't accept it, and he rejected the offer outright, thinking that it was better for him to stay at Liverpool for now.
And Suarez also knows that it's not just Real Madrid who have their eye on him now. Barcelona are also in contact with him now to bring him in.
