After preliminary negotiation and contact, Li Ang finally understood that Abu just wanted to spend money to buy peace of mind.

Or there is another layer of thought that makes Real Madrid retreat.

Didn't "Marca" also report the news that Ronaldo had a collapse with Real Madrid's top management because of the failure to raise his salary?

Ronaldo wants an annual salary of 30 million euros after tax, and Lafayette doesn't want to give it.

Chelsea directly offered Leon an annual salary of 35 million euros after tax!

Abu didn't believe it, and Lafayette, who was concerned about the salary structure of the team, dared to call.

For his boss's rich and willful approach, Li Ang didn't know what to say.

However, he felt that it was not appropriate to accept the first year salary in football directly.

The reason is very simple, even Real Madrid is afraid that giving Ronaldo too much salary increase will eventually cause chaos or even collapse of the club's salary structure.

And Chelsea's current commercial promotion and profitability around the world are not comparable to Real Madrid.

By forcing him to pay him an annual salary of 35 million euros after tax, Chelsea can indeed bear the consequences for a while.

But it doesn't have to be in the long run, even if it's just the next season or two, the agents of other Chelsea stars will be doing things openly and secretly.

Leon has a close relationship with most of his current teammates, but only if there is no conflict of interest.

The human heart can't stand the test, and Li Ang has never felt that there is no need to test the human heart, it is purely to cause trouble for himself.

Besides, his personality is not as stubborn as Brother Luo, and he has to prove that he is better than others in terms of salary while getting enough honors.

It is most reliable to get more and more practical benefits in your hands.

Leon now has an annual salary of 20 million euros after tax in the Chelsea squad.

added to 35 million euros, which is the extra annual salary, that is, the endorsement fee for him to sign two more commercial endorsements for one year.

At that time, if his salary increase incident caused disunity in the Chelsea team and failed to complete the Premier League three consecutive titles.

Then his lost income is not a measly 15 million euros.

For Leon, the stability of the team at this stage and the continuation of the championship can be much more important than renewing the contract and increasing the annual salary.

If he wins one more Premier League title, then next year's endorsement income will be tens of millions of euros!

Whether it's playing football, transferring, being a person or doing things, it's always right to take a long-term view.

That night, Leon rejected the Chelsea hierarchy's offer to give him a salary increase of 35 million euros after tax.

But in the face of Abu's goodwill, Leon also gave his sincere reply.

"I have no problem with signing a new contract renewal, three years is also appropriate, but the annual salary does not need to rise so much, if it has to be raised, I think 25 million after tax is a better number..."

Leon took the initiative to ask for a reduction in the annual salary after tax for the new contract extension, which made the Chelsea negotiators on the scene also look at each other.

They've negotiated with all sorts of players and the financial team behind them over the years.

But it's the first time they've seen an alternative player like Leon...

Leon's contract extension with Chelsea is going very well.

On the morning of 25 July, the day before Chelsea play the International Champions Cup in the United States.

Chelsea's current CEO, Maria, suddenly held a press conference at the hotel where the entire Chelsea squad was staying, officially announcing that Li Ang had successfully renewed his contract with Chelsea for three years.

As soon as this news came out, the transfer scandal surrounding Leon all died down, and the Chelsea team was completely settled.

Because reporters from all over the world have spent their energy on inquiring about the amount of Leon's new contract extension with Chelsea.

Other Chelsea players no longer need to be asked by reporters in the Americas every day if they know the inside scoop on Leon's transfer.

Jose Mourinho even felt that the quality of training in the squad had improved a lot that day.

On 26 July, Chelsea welcomed their first opponents in the International Champions Cup, Paris Saint-Germain.

In this friendly match, the Chelsea coaching staff still focused on further grinding the tacit understanding between the strikers.

It just so happened that the coaching staff of Grand Paris also had the same idea, and the two teams hit it off and directly staged a battle for the American audience at the scene.

Before the game, Leon had a laughing conversation with Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria, who had successfully escaped Manchester United and moved to Paris.

Brother Face was injured during pre-season training and didn't make it to the Real Madrid brothers' meeting.

The whole friendly match between the two teams did not smell of gunpowder, and it was a 3-3 handshake in a burst of laughter.

Once again, Leon only played half a friendly.

In other words, with the exception of the three starters up front, the rest of the Chelsea starters were replaced by Jose Mourinho after only half a game.

At the back, Jose Mourinho even used three different centre-back pairings in a single game.

They are Maguire partnering Thiago Silva, Gary Cahill partnering Karas, and Kalas partnering Kurazuma.

Overall, it was Maguire who was the most solid partnership with Silva.

Gary Cahill's centre-back combination with Callas has also worked well, complementing Harry Maguire's partnership with Callas last season.

Kalas is still unable to replace Silva in the starting line-up.

But in the new season, he will basically be the first substitute in the central defender and right-back positions, and there will be no shortage of opportunities and minutes.

In contrast, Bertrand at left-back has been a bit of a headache for the Chelsea coaching staff.

Bertrand played very well last season.

Although his ability is not the best in football, he and Eden Hazard work together quite well, and the attacking line on the left side of the two is also very sharp.

But after defending the Premier League title and winning the Champions League, the guy has been a little too indulgent throughout the summer window.

I don't know if it's because Ake has been loaned out by Chelsea again, and the fact that he is now the only left-back in the team has made him lack some sense of competitive crisis.

Jose Mourinho endured a friendly match with him, but his performance in the second pre-season friendly still fell short of the coaching staff's expectations.

Li Ang didn't know what kind of action Mu Shuai would take in the future, but Li Ang felt that Bertrand would definitely not be so easy to pass this time.

Ahead of our second International Champions Cup friendly against Barcelona, Chelsea have finally made their second signing of the summer window.

Li Ang also welcomed an "old friend" at the hotel.

Fernando Llorente.

To be honest, Leon really didn't expect him to be teammates with Llorente one day.

It's not that he doesn't recognize Llorente's strength, on the contrary, he likes Llorente's high school striker very much who has a prominent fulcrum role and is good at playing tough battles.

It's just that he didn't expect that Juventus, who had previously waived Llorente, would choose to let him go in this summer window.

It may be because Llorente wants a more secure long-term contract, but Juventus don't want to continue to invest too much in him now that they have Morata righted.

The reason for the incident is not very clear to Li Ang, he only knows that after Llorente's agent released the news that he was going to leave Juventus, Uncle Bird asked the club to follow up the negotiations as soon as possible.

After almost two weeks of negotiations, Chelsea released Llorente on a three-year contract.

It's also a quality signing for Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho's love for the midfielder is well known.

This summer window, Ibrahimovic, Drogba and Torres have left the team.

Now with Suarez and Llorente in addition, Chelsea's forward strength in the new season is still among the best in the Premier League.

However, although he has joined up with the big team, Llorente still did not get the opportunity to play in the friendly match of the International Champions Cup with Barcelona.

Chelsea also suffered their first defeat in the United States in a friendly against Barcelona.

After Mourinho affirmed Suarez's strength, he began to do "sorting experiments" in the midfield.

After one game, Chelsea's midfield kept changing.

Cesar Azpilicueta even played at left-back for 30 minutes, and I don't know if the coaching staff was giving Bertrand an eye pills...

In this case, Chelsea are purely experimenting with tactics, and it doesn't matter at all whether they win or lose.

After passing the medical examination at the local hospital, Llorente flew back to London with the team before he could get acquainted with his new teammates.

In four days' time, the Community Shield will kick off, with Chelsea and Manchester City set to meet in the first round before the start of the new season.

The British media and a large number of Premier League fans are still very concerned about this "double blue war".

Jose Mourinho didn't want the season to start the season all the time, so as soon as he returned to London with his team, he threw himself into the intense pre-match preparations.

Chelsea's final transfer move of the summer window has also started to accelerate.

The first is the transfer of the little monster Lukaku.

Truth be told, Mu doesn't want to sell Lukaku right now, and after two seasons of tweaking the little monsters, he has become an important part of Chelsea's attacking system.

Romelu Lukaku can't play as a starting centre-forward, but he can be an all-round bench bandit.

The forward line can play left, center and right, and the impact is strong enough, and no coach is willing to sell such a young player.

However, Lukaku also has his own normal demands.

He has been a substitute at Chelsea for two seasons now.

Aside from the fact that he was born with a poor sense of position, which is really difficult to correct in a short period of time, the Chelsea coaching staff will practice whatever he asks him to practice.

But instead of being a bench bandit all the time, he still wants to get a starting spot to further prove himself.

His demands are reasonable, but Chelsea are not in a position to commit him to a start.

After many negotiations failed to reach an agreement, Mourinho could only let him go and let him find a strong team that could give him a platform.

Romelu Lukaku has not been a regular at Chelsea, but his goal tally has been impressive in the last two seasons, and he has had a dazzling performance on the pitch.

Therefore, as soon as Chelsea released the news that Lukaku was going to be sold, many strong teams in the four major leagues sent offers as soon as possible.

There are a lot of competitors, so Lukaku's experience team is naturally not in a hurry and has been helping him choose slowly.

Originally, Lukaku's agent and Everton FC were in a hot game some time ago.

But after the departure of Manchester United, who had a huge amount of money, the transfer quickly went to another ending.

After Li Ang knew that Manchester United was going to mess up the game, he still talked to the little monster out of kindness, and helped him analyze the pros and cons of choosing to go to Manchester United now.

But obviously, I don't know if Lukaku, who has received Van Gaal's verbal commitment, is now full of wanting to go to the former Premier League's No. 1 giant.

Seeing this, Li Ang could only decisively give up persuasion, wishing Lukaku, the little brother, good luck in the future.

Chelsea and Manchester United are almost in the final stages of confirming the transfer fee and terms and conditions.

If nothing else, the £60 million transfer to Chelsea and Manchester United is a small amount.

And after Lukaku's whereabouts became clear, Chelsea were also quick to cut through the mess in the transfer market.

First, it cost £5 million to bring in Arsenal, and the scouting team has been following up and watching, and the winger Gnabry, who is only 20 years old.

They then won the competition against Tottenham, spending £6 million from Burnley to bring in young full-back Kieran Trippier, who performed well last season.

These two signings don't cost much, one is betting on the future of the player, and the other is betting on the player's adjustable present.

It would certainly not be possible to use them to start Chelsea's current squad, but it would be good if it was just to add strength to the bench.

The day before the Community Shield match against Manchester City, Chelsea were almost the last major signings of the summer window.

When Chelsea officially announced the introduction of Oblak, the best goalkeeper of last season's Portuguese Super League, from Benfica.

British media reporters from all walks of life looked at the 22-year-old Slovenian international with scrutinizing eyes.

The transfer fee of 26 million euros revealed by the media is not a small number.

Chelsea have also made a big bet on a young goalkeeper who has never proven himself in the big four leagues.

Thibaut Courtois, who played extremely well at Atletico Madrid last season, is the perfect choice for Chelsea's new generation of goalkeepers.

But this guy is not good at learning, he has to learn Terry's lust......

Jose Mourinho certainly won't give up Kevin De Bruyne for Courtois.

Therefore, continuing to loan Courtois to Atletico Madrid, and then finding an opportunity to sell for a large price is the only possible operation of the Chelsea uniform.

Li Ang still did not interfere in the team's transfer matters, and he couldn't help but sigh when he watched the uniform team supplement the "future stars" of the goal team one after another:

Chelsea's scouting and uniforms, awesome!

On the afternoon of August 2, in the familiar Wembley Stadium, Chelsea and Manchester City, who have re-adjusted their teams, are about to start the first fateful showdown of the new season.

Leon wore the Chelsea captain's armband for the first time in the tunnel, and looked ahead with a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart.

He could feel the expectant gaze of his young teammates behind him!

He knows that his brothers still want to attack the top glory of football again in the new season!

It's another golden age for Chelsea.

They want to use the Premier League treble to announce the birth of a dynasty for the Blues, and they also want to have the ambition to complete Bayern's unfinished Champions League title defense!

In the second decade of football in the new century, the embers of the Real Madrid dynasty have not yet dissipated, but the sea-style Bayern has ended regrettably after a short period of splendor.

Now it's Chelsea's turn to rise to the top in the Premier League.

In the face of the pressure of responsibility, Li Ang will not back down, but will only continue to move forward!

has always been a hero created by the times, but he wants to create an ambitious wave of originality and swallow this golden age of football!

Husband, it should be so!
