Chapter 144: The transfer turmoil is back - Arsenal and Professor Wenger

Marotta has just returned from England because the annual Serie A "Oscar" ceremony is about to begin. Although there is no award for the best club manager, he still hopes that the team will win a few more awards.

He can also attend the club's celebratory receptions and high-level meetings, and of course, he is also required to attend some sponsorship events. So he flew back in England as soon as he finalized something.

As soon as I came back, I watched Juventus' 4-0 drama in the VIP box of the stadium, and he was very happy that the team had a good result. But the Chinese was not happy with such a good performance, and at this time he completely forgot that his position was the manager of Juventus, and he was going to "seek welfare" for Juventus. And it is completely on the basis of a traditional Italian thinking.

Italians have always been racist against blacks before, but after the invasion of large numbers of Chinese capital in recent years, they have hated Chinese even more. Just like France, the French also believe that China is robbing them of their wealth, buying up their companies and their proud wineries, so there are often public security incidents in Marseille, Bordeaux and other places where Chinese students, tourists and businessmen are beaten and robbed.

From Li Zihan's body, Marotta seems to have seen that China is aggressively seizing their ready-to-wear market, leather market, etc., and then it is beginning to invade the already depressed football market. This is a red flag.

Poor Marotta, he is completely ignorant of the current state of Chinese football

For Marotta, though, things weren't the worst yet. He can sell this Chinese and then make a lot of money for the club. Anyway, when Li Zihan came to the club, he didn't spend a single euro on the transfer fee, so no matter how much money he sold, it was for nothing.

When she saw Arsenal's email, Marotta was actually a little moved. But when he saw the specific amount, he wanted to scold his mother.

Marotta will not be stupid enough to accept this kind of price that is almost given away for nothing, as for the hell Bendtner, his salary is several times higher than Li Zihan, and the salary of a player who often does not play is indeed high for Juventus.

After rejecting Arsenal's offer, Marotta did not take the "Arsenal" to heart. I was thinking about whether to sell Li Zihan to several other teams, because Marotta knew that Li Zihan did not have EU nationality and did not have enough playing time for the national team, so he could not get a labor certificate in the Premier League. And if Arsenal wants to buy Li Zihan, they must use the "special talent" clause of only one place a season.

Even Arsenal want to use the special talent clause to bring in players who are not a small attraction for other teams, you must know that Wenger still rarely fails when it comes to looking at young players.

Two hours later, though, Arsenal's second offer came again. This time, Bendtner was included in the other clauses, but in terms of price, they gave 1.1 million euros

Sure enough, it is worthy of Arsenal, and only they can do such a tasteless thing as a price increase of 100,000, showing their stingy nature and thirsty for talent

"Wenger, your uncle, you're eating and supporting, it's okay to play with me, right?" Marotta, who was in the office, yelled.

Just as Marotta was about to reply and scold Wenger, he suddenly had an idea.

Aren't you playing with me? Okay, let's have fun.

Then he smiled in front of the computer and "discussed" Arsenal's offer.

London, in the office building of the Arsenal Kearney training base.

Chief scout Lovelli knocked on Arsene Wenger's office, and Lovelli took an A4 sheet of paper and said to Arsene Wenger, the head of the manager who was studying something on his desk: "Arsina, I want to tell you something. ”

Instead of looking up, Wenger jokingly said, "Oh? What's the news, Steve? Could it be that the old man in Manchester is in intensive care or the rooster has been demoted? Or is our noisy eruptive rich neighbor bankrupt? ”

Steve? Loveley shook his head with a wry smile, as one of Wenger's partners for more than ten years, he certainly understood Wenger very well. He's also a guy who won't give up an opportunity to hit his opponent at any time, even if it's just a lip service. The professor, who seems polite to the outside world, is actually as vicious as his old rivals, but Wenger does not easily say so in front of the public and the media.

Loveley knows that the "old man of Manchester" in Wenger's mouth is Manchester United's legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and the "rooster" is Arsenal's north London derby opponent Tottenham Hotspur, and the "noisy outburst rich neighbor" is naturally Chelsea that everyone knows.

Loveli shook his head and said: "No, it was Juventus who replied to our email to offer the Chinese player, and this time it did not refuse." ”

Saying this, Loveley glanced at Wenger, who was buried in his head, with a strange face.

Wenger became interested, looked up and asked with a smile: "What's the good news?" ”

Loveley said to himself, this is not good news, I hope you will be smashed on the table after hearing this.

Then Loveli glanced at the A4 paper in his hand and confirmed it, before saying: "Juventus gave a return price of 10 million euros"

Wenger frowned, 10 million to buy a player like Li Zihan is honestly not a loss, but for a club like Arsenal that has tightened its belt, it is also a "big" deal.

Loveli said: "And"

Wenger wondered, "Still?" ”

Loveli cautiously continued: "There is also a player exchange clause, which is a total of 10 million cash paid in one lump sum plus a player exchange. ”

Arsene Wenger said: "Bendtner? They just need to give it to them, but this ten million is a bit much. Isn't Li Zihan's termination fee only two million? We'll reply directly to a two-million, plus Bendtner, so we can negotiate a contract directly with Lee. ”

"Not Bendtner"

"Not Bendtner?"

"Well, it's Wilshere."

"Wilshere?"

"Jack Wilshere"

"Hell, Juventus, this profiteer, this vampire. Why don't they rob banks? 10 million plus Wilshere for a Chinese 18-year-old player who has only been performing for half a year and has not been trained and trained by a formal system before? Are they too embarrassed to make this offer? Arsene Wenger almost yelled.

Lovilli actually wants to say that you are embarrassed to offer even the price of 1 million and 1.1 million, and it is more "benevolent" for people to offer this price. But considering Arsene Wenger, who was angry, he didn't find the joke funny.

Wenger took a sip of his coffee and calmed down. Arsenal's situation has not been good lately, the team has made a lot of money for the club over the years, but the club has not given itself much transfer money. And at the competitive level, Arsenal, which has not won a title for many years, is becoming more and more embarrassed, and many fans are even shouting that Wenger is out of class for the club manager. In the standings, they were left behind by the Manchester duo and pressed by Chelsea, and even Tottenham Hotspur fought with them for a place in the top four Champions League.

So Wenger has been in a bad mood recently, and he has been so "entertained" by Marotta again.

And the chief scout Lovley is actually very considerate and understanding of Wenger, and if he had put himself in Wenger's position, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago. With Arsene Wenger's name, it would be more than enough to go to a team competing for the title in the top five leagues. Staying at Arsenal will be met with the popularity of the club's top brass and the doubts of the fans.

In fact, Loveley has no doubts about Wenger's ability, you must know that Arsenal has not made a big transfer investment for many years, but almost sold a captain and two cores a year. They sold midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Nasri last season, and Dutchman Robin van Persie last summer. And what makes Loveley hurt is that Nasri and Van Persie were both sold to their rivals in the league, the Manchester brothers

So in today's modern football, which is almost impossible to play without money investment, but it is not necessarily possible to play without money invested. Arsene Wenger is a manager who has made a lot of money for the club, has not spent much money yet, and can still qualify for the Champions League in the top four.

And some of them aren't what Wenger himself wants to sell

So Loveley understands and sympathizes with Arsene Wenger.

Arsene Wenger, who regained his mood, said: "Sorry Steve! You go about it, give Juventus two million euros plus Bendtner, and we'll talk directly to Lee about the contract. According to FIFA rules, if we pay the liquidated damages, the club can't hinder us, we can communicate directly with the players. ”

Loveli nodded in understanding, then turned around to go out and write back to Juventus.

At this time, Wenger stopped him: "Wait, don't add Bendtner." Anyway, the minimum termination fee is two million, so why give them a center for nothing. Direct offer of two million, they have no right to refuse, and then you go to Turin in person and have a good talk with the Chinese player, I really can't leave here. You can only go and remember to tell him where he is in the team and his future with us and his personal salary contract and bring him to London. ”

Loveli said: "I understand, don't worry, Arsina. ”

Wenger nodded, then let out a long breath.
