"Rist, you're looking for us for Eddingson's business, aren't you?"

Both Vacsk and Zolke are there. Don't say that at this time, even if Lister usually contacts Dortmund, one of the two of them needs to accompany Lister.

And now that Lister wanted to see them, they themselves understood what was going on. After all, now that Bayern are pursuing Cavani, Rist, as the agent who manages Cavani's image rights, will definitely be involved. Unlike Cavani's other agent, Pierre, they can't be too tough on Riester. Dortmund's hierarchy could have strongly expressed their willingness to raise salaries when facing Pierre, but they were reluctant to let Cavani go. It will also be said that Cavani can be transferred, but definitely not Bayern.

But with Lister they need to be treated carefully. It is impossible to pass on a casual word or forcefully refuse.

"Yes. Christian found me. ”

"Bayern are really unrelenting. We've made it clear that they won't be selling Edinson. ”

Watzke didn't speak, Zorge spoke for him. Dortmund are in a situation where it is difficult to do business with Bayern. Dortmund treats Bayern as a sworn enemy, as an opponent, how can they sell their players. Rist smiled and took Zolke's words and said: "Michel, what if Bayern can pay more than 30 million euros?" ”

"How much?"

"More than 30 million euros."

Watzke and Zolke looked at each other, very surprised. Dortmund's highest seller so far was Luka Modric, who sold to Manchester City for £22 million. But at that time, because the other party was the nouveau riche Manchester City, the transfer fee was completely inflated. According to Modric's performance at the time, 178 million pounds was already very high, and 22 million pounds was 6 or 7 million pounds above the market price.

It's a pity that Bayern is not Manchester City. Although Bayern have been the only hegemon of German football for half a century, they still spend a lot of money. It's rare for a real big transfer to happen, and now Rist is saying it's more than 30 million euros, which makes them not very convinced.

"Really?"

"Michelle, I can't lie to you. I can guarantee it. Bayern are sure to spend a lot of money this summer. Bayern have been humiliated by several clubs this year, making Bayern's face look ugly. Bayern is definitely not stingy in recruiting this summer. ”

Bayern are really angry. It's okay to be humiliated by Mengsan like Barcelona, after all, the other party is also a European giant. Now is the peak of time. But in Germany, humiliated by Bremen and Wolfsburg, Dortmund's strength also threatened Bayern. This makes Bayern, the overlord of German football, really unbearable.

"But the other party is Bayern after all."

Zolke was only slightly surprised, but finally shook his head. Dortmund will do a little better in the Champions League next year and that money will come out. Why sell him to Bayern for that money.

"Michel, Bayern is willing to give Edinson an annual salary of more than eight million, can Dortmund get it?"

Dortmund's current salary system is tightly controlled, and the highest salary in Dortmund at the moment is their captain Kyle. But Kyle's salary is only 3.5 million euros before tax, and you can imagine the current salary of Dortmund players.

"Michel, Dortmund's current situation simply can't keep top players. Because the salary is completely inconsistent. Unless Dortmund's salary reaches the level of European powerhouses, it will have the confidence to keep good players. ”

Although it is too blunt, Rist is right. Borussia Dortmund's total salary is less than 50 million euros, and in the Premier League, not to mention this season, even last season, there were 15 with a total salary of more than 50 million euros. It can be seen where Dortmund's current salary system is ranked. For example, there are seven Premier League clubs in the Premier League this year with a total salary of more than 100 million euros.

Kyle's €3.5 million. The annual salary after tax is less than two million euros. This turned out to be the highest salary in Dortmund, with less than a million per year after tax in Dortmund's first team. Even seven or eight people in the first team have an annual salary of less than one million euros before tax.

"More than 30 million euros, enough for Borussia Dortmund to bring in some great players."

Borussia Dortmund are not as good as other European giants, and they can only bring in players by selling them in the transfer market. If you don't sell players, you can't make money.

"But that's Bayern?"

"Because that's Bayern. If you don't sell Edinson, Bayern can buy other players if they have money, so why let other clubs earn this money. Michel, if it weren't for Bayern's rush to rebuild now. It is impossible to give Edinson more than 30 million euros. But this season Bayern have purged too many players, and there will be a lot of new players. With so many new signings, how long do you think Bayern will need to be stable in the new season? ”

Riest had already thought of the steps before he came to negotiate with Dortmund. Although Lister is currently Dortmund's first creditor, Dortmund's economic situation has been slightly better in the past two years, and the first repayment is bank loans. So now Dortmund still owes Rist nearly 70 million euros with interest, so that most of Dortmund's debt is owed to Rist. In addition, Rist is also the agent who cooperates with Dortmund the most. But Rist is definitely not going to point a finger at Borussia Dortmund's club affairs. So it takes strategy to convince them.

Rister first indicated that Dortmund could not keep Cavani, and then said that Cavani's transfer fee would be high. Finally, he told Dortmund that it is impossible for Bayern to achieve good results with so many people this season. As Arsene Wenger later said, if a team changes more than three key players in the transfer window. Then it is actually a failure.

Judging from Bayern's current actions, not to mention three people, it is estimated that more than half of the main forces will be replaced. Among the main players last season, it is estimated that there are few who can continue to be the main players next season. The combat effectiveness of such a newly built team is conceivable. Telling Dortmund that Bayern next season is not scary, and this is also the last means to convince Dortmund.

"But, Lister. Who should Dortmund bring in to replace Edinson? ”

"Haven't you been watching?"

"You're talking about Barrios from Colo Collo?"

Rist smiled and nodded. Paraguayan player Barrios, who currently plays for Chile's Colo Colo club, is the best striker in the Chilean league. At only 24 years old, he is one of the most talented strikers in South American football at the moment.

Because Colo Colo Club is a club jointly owned by Rist and Tottenham, plus Dortmund and Colo Colo Club have worked together. Therefore, Dortmund have also been keeping an eye on Barrios, and Klopp admires him. Borussia Dortmund had already had the idea of bringing him in.

"But can he take Edinson's place?"

"You should ask Jurgen this question. But if you think about it, Edinson sold more than 30 million euros and Barrios was just a player of several million euros. Between one in and one out, how much money does Dortmund make. The remaining money is enough for Dortmund to replenish in other positions. ”

Zorke looked at Watzke and saw Watske nodding. So he said to Lister: "Lister, I need to talk to Jurgen about this. I'll give you an answer after the conversation. ”

"No problem."

In fact, for Zolke, there is only one thing he is most worried about, that is, he is afraid of strengthening Bayern's strength. But on second thought, Cavani Dortmund is hard to keep. After all, if he is not given a salary increase, he will not be loyal to Dortmund. In other leagues, strikers like him get at least 4 million euros after tax, but even if Dortmund gives him a salary increase now, it will be at most about 2 million euros after tax. In this case, there is no way to keep Cavani.

But Rist was right. Even if Bayern don't buy Cavani, he will spend money on other players. And even if it is to buy Cavani, Bayern have changed so much this season, and the results cannot be achieved overnight.

Soon Zolke and Klopp met to hear what he had to say. Jurgen Klopp is the coach, of course, he wants to coach the players well, and he wants Cavani to stay at Borussia Dortmund. But since he couldn't keep it, he expressed his confidence in Barrios to Zorge.

With Klopp's assurances, Zolke understood what he meant. Therefore, Zolke immediately expressed Dortmund's willingness to negotiate through Rist.

Nelinger is happy that as long as Dortmund loosens their attitude, then it means that they can continue to talk. Zorge is willing to talk, but Zolke asks for a very high price. Desperately clutching on the 35 million euros, Nelinger could not agree. 35 million euros is too high, and Bayern can't spend it at will, even if they have money. As a result, the two sides negotiated several times and finally agreed on a price of 33 million euros.

On July 23, 2009, Bayern Munich, who had been cleaning up players, announced their first transfer of the summer, and it was also the transfer that shocked the entire German football world. Bayern and Borussia Dortmund reached an agreement, with Bayern bringing in Borussia Dortmund's main striker Edinson Cavani for 33 million euros. This is not only a record for Bayern's transfer fee, but also in the history of Bundesliga transfers.

Cavani has signed a five-year contract with Bayern Munich, while Cavani's annual salary is as high as nine million euros. At the moment, Bayern is just below Toney's pre-tax euro million. However, Toni has already entered Bayern's purge list, which means that as long as Toni is gone, Cavani will be Bayern's first salary.

Many people were surprised by Bayern's generosity. Because Bayern has always been a low-key club in the eyes of everyone, even when Ballack and Lucio were introduced, the transfer fee was pitifully low. Especially from within the Bundesliga, it has always been low-cost reinforcements. Unexpectedly, this summer, Bayern actually spent more than 30 million euros to bring in a striker.

Everyone is paying attention to Bayern, and no one noticed that Dortmund immediately brought in the twenty-four-year-old Barrios from Colo Colo for five million euros after selling Cavani.
