Digan weighed it repeatedly, and found that a team like Tottenham Hotspur is already his best choice now, although those giants have money and Champions League places, but basically the lineup is quite complete, and he may not have such courage after almost a two-year blank period of introduction.

However, if you really transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, you will definitely have to cut your salary, this Degan is not unacceptable, he just wants to leave the abyss of Barcelona as soon as possible, after all, he is 27 years old, although Degan is very confident in his body, but in the end he can maintain his peak state for a few years, to be honest, he may not be able to do so.

After all, there are really few strikers in international football like Romario and Inzaghi who are close to 40 years old and can still maintain excellent competitive condition, most of them are Ronaldo and Kluivert, who are in a state of rapid decline as soon as they are over 30 years old.

Degan's question now is not how to leave Camp Nou with his head held high, but whether he can complete his revenge on Barcelona in his career.

"Elan! When will this matter be finalized! ”

Zahavi listened to Degan's tone and knew that he couldn't wait to escape from the pit at Camp Nou: "You've decided!?" Rod! You have to know that if you transfer, your financial interests will definitely be lost! ”

Of course Digan knows this, he now has a three-year contract with Barcelona, and his annual salary after tax is 17 million euros, if he transfers to Tottenham Hotspur, he will definitely not get so much, and there are sponsors, in the past two years, his sponsorship contract has not been less, but once he transfers to Tottenham, Tottenham's influence is not as good as Barcelona after all, and those sponsors may have something to say at that time.

Although Degan is at the lowest point in his life, he is still the world's highest-paid player a year, with nearly 100 million euros a year, of which the sponsorship contract stands for nearly one-eighth, and the second-ranked Golden Retriever has more than doubled by him.

If transferred, it is conservatively estimated that Degan's annual income will shrink by at least half, and possibly even two-thirds.

As Degan's agent, Zahavi has to remind Degan.

Di Gan had thought about these things just now, looked at Park Ji-yeon who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Ji-yeon! If I became a pauper, would you still like me? ”

Park Ji-yeon didn't speak, but just waved her small fist at Digan with an unhappy face, and the meaning was obvious: You can fart again! Don't think I'm cute and won't lose my temper!

Degan smiled wryly: "That ~~~~~~~ is no problem!" It's just that your income will be reduced! ”

Zahavi laughed: "I don't care about that, although it's less, but I bet that you will soon become the most paid player in the world, and then my losses will be recouped!" ”

The two discussed it again, mainly to determine the range of salary cuts that can be accepted, although Deegan has been at the lowest point of his career in the past two years, but if you analyze it carefully, in fact, Degan's performance is not bad at all, in the limited playing time, he still handed over a world-class report card, but it is only compared with his performance in Florence that it will make people feel that Deegan is no longer good.

No more!

No, your sister!

"Rod! I'll give you your phone number to Chairman Levy later, there are some things that need to be discussed with you personally, but this time, I hope you can really think it through! ”

The last transfer, it was Barcelona's chairman Rosell who called Degan, and the two of them were on the phone, and it was directly finalized, which made Zahavi quite dissatisfied, although Tottenham Hotspur was recommended by him this time, but he still had to remind Deegan that he must make up his mind after repeated consideration, after all, what happened to Barcelona must not happen again.

ended the call with Zahavi, and it didn't take long for an unfamiliar number to call, and Deegan gestured to Park Ji-yeon, but the little girl was still angry about his just now, and gave her a gorgeous white eye, Deegan had no choice but to sit down and take Park Ji-yeon in his arms, and after the little girl struggled for a while, she obeyed.

When the phone was connected, a voice with a London accent immediately came from the other side: "Hello! Rod! I'm Daniel. Levi is the Londoner who Ferguson said smells of salted fish! ”

Digan listened, almost couldn't help laughing, this matter Digan has heard, it happened at the beginning of this year, the cause of the incident was a young player in Manchester United, that is, the Pogba who will be in Juventus in the future, Tottenham Hotspur seems to be very optimistic about the potential of this young player, so he asked Manchester United to buy, but of course Lafayette did not agree, but there is no way to promise to give Pogba a fixed playing time, due to FA regulations, players under the age of eighteen, In the absence of the consent of the original club, the rule that no private contact can be made, and Levy cannot directly operate, but giving up is not Levi-kun's character.

As a result, under Levy's operation, Pogba, who was not yet eighteen years old at the time and had not signed a professional contract with Manchester United, suddenly announced the termination of his contract, and then joined Lens in Ligue 1 on a free basis, and then transferred to Tottenham Hotspur half a year later, that is, at the beginning of this year.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who had an atmosphere, later said in an interview with reporters: "This is Daniel. Levi's handwriting, I didn't wronged him, look at this damn way of operating, the smell of stinky salted fish is everywhere! ”

Although it was his first contact, Deegan found that he admired Levi's way of speaking, at least not pretentiously, and the self-mockery was just right and not offensive.

"I think Mr. Zahavi has already told you, I don't know what you think about joining Tottenham Hotspur, although Tottenham's reputation is not as good as Barcelona, but this team is very young and we have Gareth. Bale, Luca. Luka Modric, and Rafael. Van der Vaart, they're all very good players and I'm sure if you can join this team it will be more competitive and you won't have a like Barcelona at Tottenham! ”

Degan also knows a lot about the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, and the reason why Degan was tempted as soon as Zahavi recommended it is because Tottenham's current squad is really very young and very energetic.

Although Modric moved to Real Madrid this season, Digan is confident that he can convince Modric to stay if he does join Tottenham.

"Mr. Levi! I want to know what I get if I join? In terms of financial interests, I have given carte blanche to my agent, and what I want to know is the competitive side! ”

Levy didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Our captain Ridley. Kim has chosen to retire and will be on the coaching staff of the team, so Rod, you're going to be the new captain of the team, and the team is going to rebuild the team around you. ”

Levy's commitment has satisfied Degan, but he has another concern, and that is Tottenham's current manager, Villas-Boas.

Digan and Boas have not been in contact, but the two of them had the same agent Mendes, and now Digan has completely torn his face with Mendes, if he joins Tottenham, will Boas give him small shoes to wear?

"Chairman Levy!"

"Call me Daniel! Whether you end up at Tottenham or not, I hope we can be friends! ”

Deegan smiled and said, "Okay! Daniel! I want to know, have you discussed this matter with Coach Boas, I don't want Barcelona to happen again! ”

For this matter, Levy obviously has already considered: "Boas's coaching results, I am not satisfied, so I have decided, Tottenham need a new leader, originally I was going to invite Coach Prandelli, but he is now the head coach of the Italian team, what do you think of Coach Antienes?" ”

I have to admit that Degan is even more excited now, after Antienes left the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, he has not returned to work, if there is a real opportunity to work together at Tottenham, this is indeed very attractive to Degan.

Of all the managers that Digan has encountered, only Coriooni, who first met in Atalanta, Fiorentina's Prandelli and Belgian national team's Antienes, have unconditional trust in him and have a very good relationship with each other.

Degan was delighted, but couldn't help but be a little surprised by Levy's sincerity, in order to be able to invite him to join, Levy even did not hesitate to change the team's head coach.

Villas-Boas may not know it now, after being sacked by Chelsea in the middle of the season, he has only been in charge of Tottenham Hotspur for half a season, and is going to be laid off again, after being laid off at Chelsea because of his poor results, and at Tottenham, he took over the Spurs coaching whip from mid-season to take the White Lily from eighth to fourth in the league, but even so, he still failed to keep his position, just because Levy wanted to bring in Degan and he looked a little in the way.

Digan doesn't know anything about Boas, and he doesn't feel guilty, but this is a very important decision in his career, this time, he must not make any mistakes, all the negative factors, must be eliminated.

In fact, Levy's dismissal of Boas was not entirely for Degan, the key was because of Mendes, after Boas entered White Hart Lane, at the instigation of Mendes, he continued to recommend Mendes' players, from Munootti to Hulk, Mendes simply intends to turn White Hart Lane into his own back garden.

No club president is willing to let an agent become the team's emperor, Mendes's fingers at Tottenham Hotspur made Levy very dissatisfied, and in the end, regardless of whether the player is suitable for Tottenham or not, anyway, as long as Mendes recommended him, Levy unconditionally vetoed it, and now the relationship between Levy and Boas has become very tense.

The other party showed such great sincerity, there is no need for Degan to pretend to be reserved anymore: "Daniel! I promised! You can now go negotiate a contract with Elan! ”

The negotiations between Levy and Zahavi did not last long, and two days later, Zahavi sent the final result, signing a five-year contract, with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds and an annual salary of 10 million pounds, directly creating an annual salary record for all players in Tottenham's history, although there is a big gap with Degan's current annual salary of 17 million euros, but this contract can also satisfy Degan.

Of course, all this is done in private, and after the contract was finalized, Tottenham Hotspur made an offer to Barcelona, and the first offer reached 30 million pounds, if it was two years ago, this little money would not even be able to buy a leg of Degan, but now, there is no doubt that it really makes Russell happy.

Although Rusell is very optimistic about Degan, because of the suppression of the La Macia gang led by Messi, and the relationship between Pep Guardiola and Vilanova and Degan, two consecutive head coaches, are very tense, so that Degan has not been able to play his due role at Camp Nou for a long time.

With only a few appearances every season, he has the world's highest salary of 17 million euros, which has caused some discord within the team.

In particular, Messi, when he was negotiating a contract extension before, has publicly said: "Since a person who does not contribute as much to the team as I can get such a high salary, should I get more?" ”

What's the point of keeping a super-high-paid player, but not being able to achieve a breakthrough for the team, and still destroying the team's unity?

Letting Deegan go, not only recoup some of the money, but also save the next three years of salary, the deal looks like it's really done.

It's just that 30 million pounds is too low!?

You must know that although Degan looks a little depressed in the past two seasons, he is also a dignified world football king, even if the state is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but at least there are still 70%!

So, Russell instructed his men to reply: "Digan is a very important member of Barcelona, he plays a very important role in the team, we are not going to sell!" ”

This is just a very simple transfer operation, and the hidden inner meaning of this reply is basically that this price is a little low, and if the transfer offer can be increased again, the so-called non-sale is not for sale.

It's just that what happened next was a little beyond Russell's control.
