Chapter 424 The Club's Decision
Wang Li's transfer caused a sensation in the entire European football transfer market. Almost a quarter of almost all transfer news were about Wang Li. Compared with Wang Li's worth, the worth and influence of other outstanding stars are really far apart. It can even be said that ten stars are not as good as Wang Li alone.
But in fact, all the top clubs are all talk and no action, whether it is Manchester United, which has just changed its chairman, or Bayern Munich under Beckenbauer, or Inter Milan supported by the Moratti family, as well as Barcelona, Arsenal, Juventus, etc. Although these clubs have been trying to reveal some topics and news about their own teams' interest in Wang Li, they simply cannot afford the price.
As for Wang Li's value, everyone knows that Chelsea would not even consider him if the price is below 100 million euros, so they are just fanning the flames and have never thought about actually joining the competition for Wang Li in the transfer market.
Among them, only two clubs are the most sincere. One is naturally the Galacticos Real Madrid supported by the Spanish royal family, and the other is AC Milan supported by Italy's richest man Berlusconi.
The competition between the two clubs for Wang Li has become public, and various secret transfer news have been leaked to let Wang Li and Chelsea know their sincerity.
For a while, the news media were almost going crazy with joy. During this period, Wang Li's transfer alone was enough to attract the attention of most fans, which made the limelight brought by Gerrard and Cech in the past few days be suppressed in an instant.
"Gerrard is going to Manchester United?"
Few football fans like to read this kind of news nowadays. Only Liverpool fans are slightly concerned. They don't want this prince of Liverpool to really leave Liverpool, although they really can't say anything to keep him.
"Mr. Moratti of Inter Milan publicly stated that he hopes Wang Li will join the Nerazzurri?"
"Oh my god, Inter Milan's current performance is not so good. This is not good. I feel that it is better for Alan to stay in England. The Premier League is still lively. Inter Milan's performance is too poor. There is basically no honor there..."
"Not necessarily. When Alan comes, won't the results be better? With Alan, everything will be enough. I think that Italian is quite sincere."
"No, no, no, Alan will definitely stay in Chelsea..."
In short, as long as there is news about Wang Li, the fans will gather together to discuss it. Of course, seeing this situation, the Blues fans are the most entangled in their hearts. They don't want the team's No. 21, the god-like striker, to transfer to other clubs.
At this time, a piece of news attracted the attention of all fans---David Beckham and his wife Victoria returned to England from the beautiful Maldives.
No one knows why Beckham suddenly returned to England during his vacation, but at such a critical juncture, it is worth letting the media and fans speculate.
Who is the most popular person at this moment? Obviously, it is Wang Li. So what is the purpose of Beckham's visit? Is his purpose to be a lobbyist for Real Madrid?
Under this speculation, Beckham instantly became the most unpopular person in the Fulham area of London. Undoubtedly, at this tense moment, Beckham's appearance in London meant that Real Madrid was really going to take action against Wang Li.
In today's world football, if there is any team that can stir up a bloody storm in the transfer market and make everyone feel terrified, it is only Real Madrid, AC Milan and Chelsea.
Everyone knows that these three clubs are the richest, because they have super consortiums or world giants behind them, and they don’t have to worry about transfer fees at all.
Among them, Real Madrid and AC Milan are more attractive than Chelsea because they are super giants in history. Although Chelsea won the quadruple championship this season, Chelsea is still inferior in terms of attractiveness.
And for Real Madrid, there is almost no one in the world that they cannot dig up: Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Owen, etc. No one of these superstars can resist the temptation of the Galacticos. Joining the Galacticos not only means money, but for the stars, it is also an affirmation of their own strength.
You know, Luis Figo was the captain and spiritual leader of Barcelona. But after Florentino came to power, didn't he directly poach him from his arch-rivals?
After that, the Galacticos' performance was not as brilliant as before, but they had more and more stars. This is the role of super giants.
At the same time, another headline also attracted many fans---AC Milan vice president Gallonia and head coach Ancelotti also arrived in London together. They did not hide their whereabouts at all, and their direct destination was Chelsea.
Everyone knows exactly what they are doing.
At this time, the two super giant teams attacked Wang Li at the same time, which made many media cheer and compete to follow and report the related events.
"Who will be the final winner between Real Madrid and AC Milan? Can Chelsea keep their superstars?" This topic has become the focus of all fans.
In the distant ancient Eastern country, fans were divided into two factions. During this time, the influence of Real Madrid and AC Milan on the ancient Eastern country was equal. Half of the fans hoped that Wang Li would join Real Madrid and lead the Galacticos to defeat the "poor peasant" Barcelona, while the other side hoped that Wang Li would join AC Milan and recreate the glorious Milan dynasty.
Amidst the heated transfer news, other wealthy clubs did not forget to add fuel to the fire. Even if they had no intention of participating in the competition for Wang Li, they still wanted to disgust their competitors.
"... Juventus' transfer manager, Mr. Stil Berg, has admitted that they have made an offer to Chelsea to buy the team's No. 21 player, Allen Wang. The specific price is kept secret, but according to professional analysis, the offer is at least no less than 50 million euros..."
"...In an interview, Coach Wenger publicly stated that if Alan Wang could come to Arsenal, he would create a set of offensive tactics specifically for Alan, and the whole team would attack around him to allow him to exert all his strengths."
"...Ronaldo said publicly: 'I hope to play with him, he has good skills, I think he is more suitable to be the backbone of the team than me, the door of Barcelona is always open to him.'"
There are more and more of these news almost every day, causing fans to argue endlessly on the Internet. Some bored fans even made a list of 'the clubs that Alan Wang is most likely to join', 'ranking of offers', 'voting for the club that Alan is most likely to join', etc. In short, there is too much news about Wang Li during this period of time.
Of course, the above news is not sincere in the eyes of fans. Only the news about Real Madrid and AC Milan are the most sincere:
"In an interview with the media, Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, publicly admitted that Real Madrid has submitted a transfer application to Chelsea to discuss the transfer of Chelsea's No. 21 player Allen Wang. The amount involved in this transfer is as high as 170 million euros, of which the transfer fee alone is 150 million euros..."
"AC Milan coach Ancelotti said in an interview with reporters that he has been interested in Alan Wang for a long time, and the club chairman, Mr. Berlusconi, is very optimistic about Alan's future. The transfer fee alone in the transfer application they sent to Chelsea is 160 million euros."
"We will spare no effort to bring in Alan Wang to strengthen the team's frontcourt." At the end of the interview, Ancelotti said with a smile.
However, this is not AC Milan's final trump card. According to a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan intends to introduce Wang Li with money and players. If money alone cannot impress Chelsea, they are ready to use Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko plus euros to exchange for Wang Li, and the price will not be less than 120 million euros.
Judging from the attitudes of the two clubs, both sides seem to be fighting to the death and will not give up until they get Wang Li. A big battle in the transfer market is about to begin.
But at this time, what the media is most concerned about is whether Chelsea will really sell their superstar?
Chelsea's CEO Peter Kenyon has become the busiest person recently. He has to receive countless calls every day and deal with people at all levels, but he has no idea what to do.
If he knew what the team's chairman, Mr. Abramovich, thought, perhaps he would not be so busy. However, Mr. Abramovich is still hesitant about this matter, so he has to give an ambiguous result while dealing with others, which makes him very annoyed.
The team's press officer was the same. When facing the media's interview, he didn't dare to draw any conclusions. He just emphasized that "Allen is a member that Chelsea can't get". This kind of words may fool three-year-old children. Reporters are not fools. Which club has players that are not for sale? That's impossible.
In the complex system of the football world, every player has a price, even Wang Li. As long as other clubs offer a price that makes Chelsea excited, Wang Li will be close to leaving the Blues.
Peter Kenyon was extremely unhappy in this busy situation. In the past, he was the one who bothered other teams, but at this time, Chelsea seemed to have become a plate of mutton cake, waiting for a group of hungry wolves to share it.
At this time, even the team's head coach Mourinho was confused. In his mind, of course, he wanted to keep all the good players under his command. Even if they were not used, it would be pleasing to put them on the bench.
However, he really had no right to ask about Wang Li's transfer. Faced with a big business worth nearly 200 million euros, he really had no room to interrupt. At this time, he could only hope that the deal would be implemented quickly so that he could start operating other transfers of the team. After all, he still had to prepare for next season.
At this time, Wang Li's wishes became crucial.
Everyone understood this truth, so a large group of reporters rushed to surround Wang Li. What's more, they actually blocked the close relationship between Wang Li and Angela in Victoria Square.
Facing the media, Wang Li did not evade, but claimed, "As long as the club still needs me, I will stay." This point of view left the reporters confused.
They can only go back and analyze carefully based on this sentence to express their own opinions.
In fact, Wang Li really hasn't decided whether he should leave Chelsea or not. Yesterday, his good friend Beckham found him and talked about going on vacation together. Of course, these are secondary. The main thing was to consult Wang Li's attitude and suggest that he go to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is now full of big names, so it is not suitable for Wang Li to go there. However, the club chairman has promised that as long as Wang Li goes to Real Madrid, the team will "pay any price" for it.
Wang Li was tempted by the offer of "all costs". After all, no one wanted to be known as someone who "ran away for money". At least now he had a good reputation in Chelsea and England, and he didn't want to be known as a traitor.
If Real Madrid can really show sincerity, it would be nice to go there, right?
He had thought about it a long time ago. There are many football stars there, which will be helpful for improving his own skills. Just David Beckham's free kicks are worth learning from Wang Li. After all, the free kicks he kicks relying on his internal strength are not much better than Beckham's.
Under such circumstances, Wang Li gave such an ambiguous answer to the reporter, and he was also conflicted in his heart.
Therefore, the decision-making power is entirely in the hands of the club chairman, Mr. Abramovich. As long as he says to sell Wang Li, then Wang Li will definitely leave. If he decides to give Wang Li a new contract, then Wang Li will definitely stay in Chelsea.
At this time, the transfer section of Chelsea Club was very lively. Several senior executives from AC Milan and Real Madrid gathered here. They were arguing with each other, constantly mocking their opponents, and putting forward their own prices to impress Chelsea.
At this moment, the three senior executives of Chelsea once again gathered in the office of Chairman Abramovich. When Kenyon and Mourinho came in together, Mr. Abramovich was still smoking. He did this almost every time he made a decision.
At this time, the Russian also seemed to be hesitant. He sat in a chair and thought. On the laptop in front of him, Wang Li's goal video was constantly playing, and there were also several quotations from clubs at hand.
For Abramovich, money is not a big problem, but this time the transaction involves nearly 200 million euros, so he has to consider it carefully.
Moreover, there is a problem that no one knows, that is, he has always been dissatisfied with Wang Li's position in the hearts of Chelsea fans. In his opinion, the team's current achievements should all be attributed to him as the club chairman.
Therefore, he still had some thoughts about selling Wang Li.
But after selling Wang Li, can Chelsea still achieve the current success?
Will the team's performance plummet?
By then, will he become a sinner in the hearts of the fans?
All these problems made him feel uneasy. In his opinion, this was a deal and also a gamble. When Mourinho came in, he asked, "What results can you lead the team to achieve without Alan?"
A similar question was asked by Mr. Abramovich when Mourinho first came to Chelsea. He said at the time: "Even if I am not given a penny in transfer fee, I can lead the team to win the league championship."
Now the same problem is facing Mourinho, and he is still very confident: "Boss, Chelsea can still achieve good results without Allen."
He dare not guarantee that he will be better than this season, because this season's results have already reached the peak, but the guarantee of "good results" is enough to satisfy Mr. Abramovich. In his view, good results must mean winning one or two championships and maintaining Chelsea's glory.
Hearing this answer, Mr. Abu took a deep puff of his cigar, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Alan will be suspended for half a year, so what will his condition be in the second half of the season...?"
Mourinho lowered his head but did not answer. Even he could not guarantee that Wang Li would still be in his current good form after being suspended for more than half a year.
Seeing the expressions of the two men, Peter Kenyon also understood what they meant. At this time, he heaved a long sigh of relief and thought to himself that from now on, he would not have to be a 'grandson' anymore. The serfs had risen up and were singing. Now it was time for him to show his strength.
After a brief discussion among the three, Chelsea's top management reached a consensus and immediately became tougher in their external attitude. At this time, whoever wanted to get Wang Li would see who was more sincere.
Seeing Chelsea's sudden change in attitude, AC Milan and Real Madrid were not surprised but happy. They knew that this showed that Chelsea had decided to sell Wang Li, so at this time, their competition really began.
This kind of competition is brutal. For both clubs, if they want to get Wang Li, they have to cut off a piece of meat. At this time, they immediately arrange for someone in the team who is eloquent or has some connections to contact Wang Li privately and let him put pressure on the club.
As long as they can do this, they will be halfway to success. After all, Wang Li's attitude is crucial in this transfer.
Unfortunately, Wang Li had no intention of giving in. He just spent his time alone with Angela and ignored the reports from the outside world. Even when contacted privately, he just said some irrelevant things. In his heart, he was inclined to Real Madrid, but in fact, it didn't matter to go to AC Milan. To him, both countries were completely unfamiliar, and he was confident that he could become the core of the team wherever he went, so he didn't care at all.
Thus, the direct battle between the two clubs began.
