Chapter 423: 30 million to buy Son Heung-min, 65 million to offer Reus Sane

, who is only 19 years old this year, is a talented player trained by Schalke 04's own youth training camp.

He just played for Schalke 04's first team last season. In last season's Champions League, Sane also scored against Real Madrid, almost becoming famous with one goal and attracting the attention of countless teams.

Schalke 04 naturally treats such a young talent like a treasure and watches him closely. How could he be abducted so easily?

So after receiving Manchester City's offer, Schalke 04 stated that Sane was not for sale and therefore rejected Manchester City's offer.

"It's not for sale. If it really wasn't for sale, you could just reject it. Why would you say such a thing?"

Guardiola has been in the football world for decades, so how could he not understand what the other party meant? The other party didn't want to sell the player at all, but simply thought the money was too little!

Although I feel a little unhappy, buying people is a bargaining process in itself.

If the other party accepts the offer immediately, he will be suspicious and wonder if there is something wrong with the player or if he has made a mistake. Guardiola added 5 million euros to the original offer and made a second offer to Schalke 04.

This time, Schalke's attitude has changed a lot. They no longer say nonsense like Sane is not for sale.

However, Manchester City's image as a wealthy club has been deeply rooted in the past few years. There is an unwritten rule among major European clubs, which is that when faced with an offer from Manchester City, they have to raise their psychological price a little.

After all, if you meet such a rich man who has plenty of money, you will definitely make a lot of money from him.

So they asked Manchester City for 40 million euros and demanded a 20% commission on Sane's next transfer fee.

This is really asking for too much. Sane certainly has some talent, but he is only 19 years old now. It is completely unknown whether these talents can be realized.

If he didn't perform well in Manchester City, wouldn't Manchester City lose a lot of money? Therefore, Manchester City stopped making an offer to Schalke and started looking for new players.

"What's wrong? Did the transfer encounter any obstacles?"

Seeing Guardiola's depressed look, Lin Quan guessed that he might have suffered a setback in the transfer market.

"Why do those guys outside treat us as fools, thinking that we are stupid and rich?"

When Guardiola thought about Schalke 04's conditions, he felt like cursing.

Although the price of 40 million euros exceeds his budget, it is not impossible for Manchester City to afford it given its financial resources.

However, the transfer commission conditions attached by the other party made him feel humiliated.

Are they really taking themselves for granted? Who would agree to such a condition? If they added such a condition, it would be like they spent 50 million euros to buy a 19-year-old winger.

Who does the other side think this guy is? Worth 50 million? "Aren't our Manchester City just stupid people with lots of money?"

Lin Quan couldn't help but laugh. Guardiola treated Manchester City as a wealthy and powerful club like Barcelona!

Manchester City did indeed start out as a nouveau riche. In the early years, when they were unable to buy players, they relied on spending more money than other teams and snatching players from other clubs.

Therefore, when Manchester City comes to buy players, they offer a higher price. The instigator of this is actually Manchester City itself.

However, in recent years, as Manchester City's fame and honor have gradually increased, this kind of behavior has gradually decreased, and the clubs Guardiola has previously worked for are all top-notch giants with deep roots, and he has never suffered losses in this regard.

If Bayern wanted to buy a player, let alone 40 million, as long as they opened their mouths, they might be able to pry Sane away for 25 million or even 20 million!

Don't underestimate the strength of the Bundesliga excavators! Bayern's attraction to German players is just like the protagonist in a cool article who raises his arm and bows down to them.

It’s a pity that Manchester City is not Bayern, and what’s even more regrettable is that they are a Premier League team.

The whole world knows that the Premier League is well-commercialized and the teams here are very rich. Even some relegation teams can receive hundreds of millions of pounds in broadcasting revenue from the league every year.

Such lucrative income has made Premier League clubs the epitome of rich and stupid people in the transfer market. When they want to buy players, their prices are much higher than those of teams in other leagues.

Arsenal manager Wenger once said that teams from other leagues would automatically increase their prices by 50% when they met teams from the UK.

Although this statement may be an excuse for not being willing to spend money on buying stars, it also indirectly reflects the weak position of Premier League teams in the transfer market.

Take Pogba for example. If Real Madrid or Barcelona bought him, the transfer fee would definitely not reach 105 million. At most it would be 80 million euros.

But when you meet Manchester United, a team of fools with lots of money and desperate people who are trying all kinds of tricks, there is nothing you can do. You are completely controlled by Juventus. You just have to pay whatever they ask you to pay!

Not buying Sane is not necessarily a bad thing. Lin Quan doesn’t have a very good impression of this guy.

His talent is undoubtedly unquestionable, but his playing style is not very suitable for Manchester City, or to be more precise, it is not suitable for Manchester City under Guardiola.

Guardiola pursues efficiency and likes players who are obedient on the field, conscientiously implement the tactics he formulates, do not make trouble off the field, do not cause trouble, and train diligently.

And Sane is obviously not this type!

Sane's work attitude is not dedicated enough. He sticks to the ball and takes up too much possession. Sometimes he ignores efficiency in pursuit of self-expression, which leads to the team's offensive being ended by him.

Guardiola later even preferred to reuse Sterling instead of using him, which shows his disappointment in him.

Compared with the cynical Sane, Lin Quan thought of another talented and hardworking player - Son Heung-min of Leverkusen! "What do you think of this winger from Leverkusen?"

Lin Quan found Son Heung-min's game highlights and recommended him to Guardiola.

Guardiola attached great importance to the players recommended by Lin Quan. After carefully watching the highlights given by Lin Quan, he held his chin and said:

"This guy is very fast and has a strong ability to score during quick counterattacks, but his positional warfare ability is a bit weak and his footwork is not particularly good."

What Guardiola said is the truth. Son Heung-min is indeed not a top-tier player.

However, if this kind of player with distinctive characteristics is used well in a certain tactic, the effect will be very good.

If not for this, he would not have won the Premier League Golden Boot.

"You are not buying a main player. If you buy him as a substitute, I think it is still okay. Besides, having a fast player on the wing may be effective when facing some teams that like to play pressure attacking."

Lin Quan glanced at Guardiola. His request was a bit outrageous.

Maybe it's because I've become more open-minded after watching Messi and myself perform! But not everyone is Lin Quan, not everyone is Messi, and there are only two such players in the football world.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

He was originally bought as a substitute, so Guardiola was relieved.

As a result, Manchester City quickly made an offer to Leverkusen for 30 million.

Compared to Sane, Son Heung-min is 23 years old this year and has reached his prime.

As soon as he arrives, he can integrate into the team and immediately provide combat power to the team.

The deal is risky just because Asian players don't perform well in the top five leagues.

In Europe, even with the emergence of stars like Shinji Kagawa, Park Ji-sung, Hidetoshi Nakata and Keisuke Honda, the strength of Asian players has not been fully recognized by the entire European football world.

This can be reflected in the transfer fee. The current record for the highest transfer fee for an Asian player is 18.5 million pounds held by Hidetoshi Nakata.

This record was set 15 years ago and has not been broken so far.

If they are really that good, it is impossible that no one has been able to break this record for so many years, considering that transfer fees in football have already inflated.

Therefore, after receiving the offer, Leverkusen agreed immediately without any hesitation.

I was afraid that Manchester City would regret it if it was delayed for another second.

They don’t know that in the Premier League, in addition to Manchester City, there is another club that has also set its sights on Son Heung-min.

That is the one that Manchester City eats, sleeps and beats - Tottenham! "What? Son Heung-min was bought by Manchester City?"

Tottenham chairman Levy had just prepared the budget and was planning to write a check to buy this young Asian winger to help Kane win the championship trophy for Tottenham, but he learned that the player he had his eyes on had already been poached by someone else, and the poacher was none other than their nemesis Manchester City in the league.

"Damn Manchester City, why do they have to snatch our players? There are so many excellent wingers in the Bundesliga!"

Although I am very angry, there is nothing I can do.

The people have been bought, what else can I say?

However, Tottenham Hotspur, which failed to buy a suitable winger, may have to rely on Kane alone in the new season.

Facing Manchester United and Liverpool who are constantly recruiting new players, Manchester City still has the championship lineup that has won two consecutive Champions League titles.

Levy couldn't help but feel a little scared. Can his lineup really challenge these teams?

After easily dealing with Son Heung-min, Guardiola was in a very good mood, and the previous haze was completely swept away.

So, looking at the remaining budget in his hands, he thought he should buy some more talent to build up his reserve.

This time, Guardiola set his sights on Reus.

After Gotze and Lewandowski left one after another, Reus became the dean of Dortmund.

If he hadn't been constantly injured last season and unable to play continuously, Dortmund wouldn't have almost fallen into the relegation zone.

Guardiola likes Reus very much. When he was coaching Bayern, he admired him very much and even thought about buying him.

It’s a pity that Reus has deep feelings for Dortmund and is unwilling to leave.

This made Guardiola somewhat helpless.

But now, with Klopp's departure, Dortmund will undoubtedly fall into turmoil.

They want to get back to their peak, but they don’t know how long it will take.

Moreover, given Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga, Dortmund may never be able to return to its peak state a few years ago.

Therefore, there is no future in staying in Dortmund.

In addition, this guy is a glass man. As he continues to squeeze his potential, his injuries will only become more and more serious.

Guardiola even felt that if he continued like this, Reus would be ruined by injuries sooner or later.

It's a pity to waste such talent and admirable character.

These are the reasons why Guardiola wants to bring him in. He doesn't want to watch a genius being ruined for various other reasons before he has reached his limits.

So, after buying Son Heung-min, Guardiola thought about it seriously and offered Dortmund 65 million euros, hoping to take Reus away.

Manchester City is not short of players in the midfield and frontcourt. If Reus joins the team, Guardiola will give him some time to heal his injury and try his best to recover from the injuries accumulated due to fatigue and make a complete recovery.

After receiving the offer from Manchester City, Dortmund club was somewhat hesitant.

They should have rejected Manchester City's offer directly, because with Gotze, Lewandowski and Klopp leaving the team one after another, they needed a spiritual totem to support them and keep them moving forward.

At a time when the team was in danger, Reus resolutely chose to renew his contract with the team and he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He is not only a youth player of the team, but also loyal to the club. His hard work and efforts on the field are also obvious to all Hornet fans.

Such a player is really suitable to be the leader of Dortmund.

However, is it really good for Royce if they force him to stay?

With Klopp leaving the team, everyone in Dortmund feels very confused about their future.

Last season, they finished only seventh in the league, almost returning to where they were before Klopp came.

They are worried that they will always linger in the middle and lower reaches of the league and never return to the top.

A top player like Reus should not bury his talent in such a mid-to-lower-level team. He should go to a higher stage to show his talent.

Such a team can be Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid or Manchester City.

As for Dortmund, if Reus is willing to leave and the other party can offer him a good offer as compensation for the team's reconstruction, they will be happy to promote this transfer.

However, the players themselves must be consulted on this matter.

So, Dortmund temporarily put Manchester City's offer on hold and contacted Reus himself to ask about his attitude.

If Reus himself does not want to leave, Dortmund will never force him.

"What? Manchester City wants to buy me?"

After receiving the notice from the club, Reus seemed a little confused.

He has already renewed his contract with the club, why would any team still make an offer to him?

Don't these people know that renewing their contract means they are not planning to leave? Wait, Manchester City?

Could it be that the guy wanted him to go over and fight alongside him? For a moment, Royce couldn't help but imagine it.
