Because Leverkusen's cleaning work is not going smoothly this summer, and it has been unable to obtain much-needed liquidity from player transfers and reduce the team's financial expenditure, Carlmond is actually quite restless. . After all, unlike leagues in other countries, the German Football Association's financial review of football clubs is extremely strict. If Leverkusen is found to be operating at a loss during the review, even if the pharmaceutical company almost won a big ear cup for German football in the Champions League a year ago, it will be severely punished by the selfless German Football Association. .
Moreover, in order to avoid being robbed by others, Carlmond cannot take the initiative to go door to door to sell these players in his hands. Because in this way, Leverkusen's details are likely to be discovered by other teams, and the price may be deliberately lowered by the other party during the transfer transaction.
"Damn vampires, they obviously regard our profits as part of the profits of the entire group. Why is it that when we encounter difficulties, the group is not even willing to provide any financial support?" The club drew a lot of money, and the Bayer Group, which had never injected capital into Leverkusen, made Carlmond very depressed. In the opinion of this fat manager, compared with the Russian consortium that controls Schalke 04 and the Volkswagen company behind Wolfsburg, the Bayer Group is really not a qualified boss.
Of course, no matter how dissatisfied Carlmond is with the Bayer Group, he cannot rely on these dissatisfaction to help Leverkusen smooth out the deficit in its financial statements. In order for Leverkusen to successfully complete league registration in the new season and not be fined or even heavily fined by the German Football Association for loss-making operations, Carlmond still has to think more about player transactions.
After all, for most clubs, tickets, commercial sponsorships and player transfers are the three most important parts of the club's financial revenue. For Leverkusen now, it is unrealistic to increase revenue from tickets and commercial sponsorships, and Bayer Group is unwilling to inject capital into the team to help Leverkusen offset the deficit. Under such circumstances, the only option left for pharmaceutical companies is to sell players.
It is precisely because of this that when Carlmond learned that representatives from Tottenham Hotspur had arrived in Leverkusen and were preparing to negotiate with him about the transfer of some players, this man who was worried about the sales of his players The general manager of Leverkusen can be said to be overjoyed. Although Carlmond has been worried about the club's financial situation in recent months, the Leverkusen general manager is also aware of some major events in European football, and naturally knows that there is a new owner. Tottenham are making waves in the transfer market during this period, and because of the limited appeal of the team, they cannot buy many good players. They can only poach players from small and medium-sized clubs in major leagues to make up the number.
Perhaps, he can take this opportunity to stab Tottenham Hotspur severely? Looking at the information submitted by his assistant about Tottenham's various moves in the transfer market in the past month, Carlmond couldn't help but label this club as "foolish people and rich money".
However, when the two parties officially started negotiations, Carlmond was quite surprised by Paratici's words: "Mr. Paratici, you are saying that you intend to introduce a player from our team at a package price of 6 million pounds. Yildiray Basturk and Daniil Bierovka?”
It’s not an offer to Lucio! Paratici's move surprised Carlmond. He originally thought that the other party's main purpose of coming to Leverkusen was to introduce Brazilian international Lucio to their team. Unexpectedly, Paratici mentioned Brazil. The names Sturke and Bierovka.
To be honest, George has always been extremely conflicted about whether to introduce Lucio. After all, the ability of the Brazilian central defender is indeed outstanding. He was able to win the Sanya championship with the team in his first full season with the pharmaceutical company and win the Hercules Cup as a main member of the 2002 World Cup championship team. This is enough to prove Lucio Excellent. Moreover, subject to the minimum release clause in the contract, Leverkusen has no way to raise a huge price for Lucio's transfer. Therefore, as long as Tottenham's offer for Lucio can trigger this clause, then preventing Lucio The remaining obstacle for Austria to play at White Hart Lane is whether the Brazilian can accept joining a club that does not qualify for the European competition.
However, although Lucio has excellent physical fitness, speed and flexibility, he also has the advantages of excellent Brazilian players' skills, and his sudden forward penetration in the game is also very threatening, but for any team It can be said that Lucio is a double-edged sword, because the frequency of his forward penetration in the game is too high, and he often gets overheated. Therefore, Lucio's sudden advance during the game to participate in the attack can certainly cause certain chaos to the opponent's defensive system, but the large space behind him will also become a place where the opponent can make a big fuss, especially in Lucio's case. When Ore's blood was high, his teammates had no time to fill his position.
Although George can slowly correct the Brazilian's shortcomings in training after Lucio joins Tottenham, or arrange specific tactics to make up for it, as a main member of the 2002 World Cup winning team and Leverkusen's Sanya King period, currently George, who only has one Premier League championship trophy in his honor book, has difficulty convincing Lucio. And once the Brazilians become dissatisfied with George's arrangements (for example, reducing the frequency of forward attacks), the atmosphere in Tottenham's locker room and the team's performance will inevitably be negatively affected.
What's more, Tottenham have now signed two future first-class central defenders in Vidic and Vermaelen. Coupled with the original Ledley King in the team, who has not yet become a glass man, Tottenham has no choice in central defenders. There is no shortage of manpower at the position. Therefore, due to the above considerations, George ultimately did not include Lucio in the signing list.
"The transfer fee of 6 million pounds is really too low. Even if Bierovka performed mediocre last season, the two of them should not be worth only this little." I heard Paratici's comments about Basturk and Basturk. Bierovka's first offer, Carlmond, who thought he could make a fortune with Tottenham, was naturally unlikely to accept the offer. "If you really want to sign these two players, I hope You can increase the transfer fee to...well, £15 million."
"Manager Carlmond! It is absolutely impossible for Tottenham to accept this price!" It stands to reason that Paratici's current position is Tottenham's scout in Europe and does not need to be responsible for transfer negotiations, but because Tottenham Spurs are currently seriously short of personnel in the first team, and Marotta, who is in charge of this work, has no skills. Therefore, Paratici has to help his friend and boss share some of the less difficult tasks. "15 million pounds, converted into U.S. dollars, is 2,400 Ten thousand dollars, it is impossible for Tottenham to pay such a high price for these two players. You should know in your heart that the players worth more than ten million dollars in the current transfer market are at least quasi-first-class stars in today's international football. And Bass Turk and Bierovka clearly do not meet this standard."
"Mr. Paratici, you are right. But I think you should know very well that with Tottenham's current position in European football, it is difficult to sign legitimate stars, right?" Regarding Paratic, In response to Teach's retort, Carlmond immediately gave his reason, "Besides, even if you can settle the club, I'm afraid the player himself won't be willing to play at White Hart Lane, right?"
"This shouldn't have anything to do with our negotiations, right?" After hearing Carlmond's words, Paratici, who had just hit a snag in Xavi Alonso's transfer, frowned displeased, "You know , when Joe Cole joined Stamford Bridge, Chelsea only paid a transfer fee of 6.6 million pounds. However, Basturk and Bierovka are not as good as Joe Cole in terms of strength or reputation. So £6 million is a pretty reasonable price."
That's reasonable, sister! Joe Cole alone is worth 6.6 million pounds, which is the fire sale price after West Ham United was relegated. You Tottenham want to buy two players from me now, but the transfer fee is lower than the value of Joe Cole alone. Are you too shady? !
"Of course it does matter!" Thinking of this, Carlmond smiled slyly, and his idea of taking advantage of Tottenham became even more determined, "So, for you, like us at Leverkusen , a team that has many excellent players but cannot retain them due to poor performance should be the most important poaching target, right?"
"Indeed, for us Tottenham, Leverkusen is indeed one of the teams that best meets our recruitment requirements." Paratici agreed with one sentence, and then changed the subject, "However, last year's expensive When Fang sold Ballack to Bayern Munich, he only recovered a transfer fee of 6 million euros. Therefore, if you ask too high for the transfer of Bierovka and Basturk, it is inevitable that It gives people some bad associations.”
Carlmond's face turned dark when he heard Paratici's words. You know, the package sale of Ballack and Ze Roberto to Bayern was the stupidest deal he made as general manager of Leverkusen. Therefore, it is strange that Carlmond has a good face now that Paratici mentions this matter.
However, this matter can only be blamed on Carlmond himself - who made him sell Ballack so cheaply that Leverkusen will not be able to sell players at high prices in the future. Otherwise, Carlmond, who made the decision at the time to agree to the transfer, would have been dragged out and paraded through the streets by the angry Leverkusen fans.
So, after some bickering, Paratici and Carlmond finally reached a consensus on the transfer fee amount for Basturk and Bielovka - Tottenham Hotspur will pay 900 The two players were bought from Leverkusen in a package for a transfer fee of 10,000 pounds, or US$14.4 million!
Next, as long as Paratici gets the player himself, the package deal between Tottenham and Leverkusen can be declared complete.
