Chang Sheng saw Real Madrid so eager and knew why they were like this.

Isn't it because of Barcelona?

The pair of bitter rivals are always reluctant to be left behind, and if the other side pushes one of them over, they will do everything they can to press back again.

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

And this is actually a good opportunity for Changsheng to take the opportunity to raise the price......

Anyway, when Calderón was in charge of Real Madrid, Real Madrid did a lot of weird noises.

Pepe, whose prestige was limited to the Portuguese league at that time, could transfer to Real Madrid for 30 million euros, creating the first value for the transfer of Portuguese central defenders.

A young rookie like Gago, who has never proven himself in Europe, can sell for 20 million euros.

This was not uncommon during Calderón's time at the helm of Real Madrid.

So it is not incomprehensible that there were later suspicions that Calderón and General Manager Mijatovic had taken kickbacks......

Now, then, it's nothing to put another charge on Calderón's head.

After several offers from Real Madrid, Chang Sheng finally returned the offer for the first time.

"Forty-two million euros, otherwise it will not be sold!" The attitude is quite tough.

No matter how Real Madrid bargained, Changsheng insisted on this value.

He also had his reasons for giving this price, and it all made sense.

Like the Champions League and the league silver boot have been said many times, the most important thing is that Benzema is young, born on December 19, 1987, Benzema is only twenty years old at this time.

But with so many goals and accolades already earned, what heights will he be able to reach in time?

In addition, his commercial value. Chang Sheng also made it clear to Real Madrid.

Because all Real Madrid players have to transfer half of their image rights to the club, the club can make a profit from player endorsements, and Benzema, who has high commercial value, can help Real Madrid earn back the 42 million euros in transfer fees just by selling jerseys.

In the end, he managed to convince Calderón, or rather, Barcelona's high-profile transfer market to force Calderón.

Real Madrid promised to take Benzema for 42 million euros!

Falcao is 50 million, Benzema is 42 million, and the two of them add up to 92 million euros in transfer fee income. These two people alone have basically paid off their debts......

When Lotito heard the news, he burst out laughing on the phone.

Then Chang Sheng asked him on the phone to raise the maximum salary limit.

Lotito asked him how much he had improved.

Chang Sheng replied: "Raise it to three million euros." Only then will we be able to keep the players we need to keep. ”

Lotito had a headache: "But we can't sell seven or eight players a year in the future, right?" ”

"Of course not."

"So where are we going to get the money to keep the club's finances balanced?"

"Mr. President. In the future, Lazio can sell a player for a sky-high price. Just like Falcao and Benzema. You don't have to worry about this. In addition, as we get better grades, we get more bonuses and a share of the TV broadcast fee. So none of this is a problem......"

Chang Sheng managed to convince Lotito, who eventually agreed to raise the salary ceiling from two million euros to three million euros. In other words, the first salary in the team can reach three million euros a year.

Now, Chang Sheng has the confidence to renew the contracts with those players who intend to stay.

He immediately called the players' agents and we could start talking about contract extensions.

While selling people, renewing the contract. Grasp with both hands, both hands should be hard.

The European Championship is over, everyone's value has been refreshed, it's time to start grabbing money in the transfer market!

In order to suppress Barcelona's arrogance as much as possible, Real Madrid's transfer negotiations with Benzema went quickly, and the personal negotiations with Benzema also went smoothly, taking only two days. All the contracts and formalities were done.

Then on the third day, July 10, they held a grand meeting for the new players at the Bernabeu.

Benzema appeared in front of everyone in front of 40,000 Real Madrid fans in front of the crowd.

When he shouted with a shy smile, "Come on." Madrid! At that time, the Bernabeu thundered with joy.

More than 40,000 fans joined him in chanting: "Come on, Madrid!!" ”

Calderón stood next to Benzema with a smug smile on his face.

He believes that Real Madrid finally has the capital to fight against Barcelona.

But as for after Benzema came. How to deal with the group of strikers in the team, he doesn't have to worry about such trivial things......

※※※

Five days. Lazio lost two of last season's leading scorers, and an important coach.

The media exclaimed that Lazio's collapse was imminent.

"You think that's the end of it? Wrong! Miss by a mile! And that's just the beginning! Pacheco shouted in his column for Milano Sport, with a schadenfreude in every word.

In addition to those Lazio players who are already on the transfer list, there are also many Lazio players who have not been put on the transfer list There are also transfer scandals.

David. Silva's stats last season were as good as his two striker partners, but his key performances were good and attracted interest from many teams.

In addition, Modric, as the core of Lazio's midfield, has caused the giants to scramble.

His role in Lazio is undeniably very important. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the brain of Lazio in the media.

He instigated Lazio's attack in midfield and has 18 assists in all competitions this season, making him the assist leader of the Lazio team.

At the same time, he is also the assist leader in Serie A. He is also the Lazio player with the most assists in the Champions League.

With such a dazzling performance, if no one cares, there must be a problem.

In addition, Jose is included. Other Lazio players, including Passarella and Pavon, have also been asked for or offered directly.

Even Handanovic, who has just renewed his contract, has attracted the interest of AC Milan.

If you just look at these lists of potential transfers, one would think that Lazio has been hollowed out.

If all these people leave Lazio. Lazio is here for a complete rebuild. The team that won the double was just dismembered......

※※※

Pacheco was delighted to see the European team snatching Lazio players, and if he was in China, he might have to cut two pounds of pork head meat to celebrate.

In his columns, he went to great lengths to proclaim that escaping Lazio was the right choice.

"This team has clearly fulfilled its historic mission. They couldn't have been more ambitious to go for any titles, they've already won almost all of them! So it was the right thing to do to leave Lazio, who could earn a regular place and a high salary at their new club thanks to their excellent performances in the Champions League. And Lazio are clearly aware that these players are after winning the Champions League. The value has reached the highest, and this is the best time to take off your gloves. So the Lazio club has invested seven Lazio players in the transfer market in one go! Lotito needs money and the players need fame and fortune, so it's a win-win. Except for those Lazio fans...... Poor Blue Eagles fans cheering for the greatest achievement in the club's history while still in office a month ago, and now they are going to watch helplessly as their team is dismembered......"

He succeeded in stirring up a wave of public opinion that sang against Lazio.

Some media believe that Chang Sheng may not want this. But it was clear that the situation was out of his control.

"Chang first announced that seven players would enter the transfer market, hoping to take the initiative and tell everyone that only these seven players in his team can go, and the others will not be sold. Look at what's going on in the transfer market right now...... I think soon he won't be able to stand it! Especially since he has a Lotito behind him, who regards money as his life! ”

Some media also saw this as an important turning point in the break between Changsheng and Lotito.

"When he finds out that his players are so valuable and popular, will Lotito still be able to share the same opinion? Who can guarantee that he will not generate other ideas, more ideas? As the president of the club. He has the right to sell anyone on the team, even the head coach...... So if Lotito decides to do this, it often won't stop it at all! In my opinion, the current turmoil in the transfer market is exactly what Lotito wants to see. This suggests that perhaps there have been contradictions and disagreements at the top of Lazio's cooperation. You don't want your team to fall apart, and no normal manager would think so. But Lotito would love to see his players traded for money...... The fuse was laid for the future conflict between the two ......"

In addition, there are a variety of other rumors.

And in the midst of these rumors, Lazio has also accelerated the pace of selling players.

Stendaldo and Juventus have reached an agreement. Juventus paid five million euros plus the outstanding goalkeeper Antonio from the Juventus Academy. Mirante's price, got Lazio's backup centre-back.

Despite being a substitute centre-back. Juventus also need it.

Because Juventus suffered from defenders last season. There are very few defenders who can be used at all.

In fact, they had been planning to sign Stendalldo on loan during the winter break, but Chang Sheng did not agree.

Now in the summer, they have to buy out Stendardor directly with money.

Antonio. Mirante is a perennial winner.

Mirante is a young goalkeeper developed by Juventus, but with Buffon dominating the main goalkeeper for a long time, it is clear that he will not get a chance.

As a result, he has been loaned from place to place. He played as a substitute goalkeeper for Sampdoria last season and made 13 appearances.

As a substitute goalkeeper, he has to beat the two who have been brought in from the youth team.

When Prandelli later became the head coach of the Italian national team, Mirante was also selected for the Italian national team and became an international player.

In terms of strength, no problem.

Chang Sheng is going to put pressure on Handanovic, he can't always use Handanovic's car to stimulate him every time, right? You still have to find a reliable backup goalkeeper. And so Mirante came.

With a reliable backup goalkeeper, I believe Handanovic will not dare to lose motivation casually.
