Chapter 426 The Dust Settles
London is completely surrounded by lights at night, and it is not an exaggeration to call this city that never sleeps.
Mr. Abramovich sat on the top floor of a Chelsea office building, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, sitting in front of the glass window, slowly sipping the wine while admiring the night view of the street outside.
At this moment, he was looking back on Chelsea's journey this season and everything he had achieved.
In terms of business, his assets increased by $800 million this year. The growth rate of this asset is definitely among the highest in the world. However, Abramovich does not care much about this. He cares more about everything he has achieved in Chelsea.
In the past, he had been investing in CSKA Moscow, but that team was just a Russian Premier League team and had little appeal to European stars. No matter how much money he offered, the stars were unwilling to go to Russia to endure the severe cold.
So, he bought Chelsea and came to London to run his football business.
Facts have proved that he succeeded. In just two seasons, this former Premier League powerhouse has transformed itself into a team with strength that surpasses ordinary top teams. This season can be said to be the most successful season for Chelsea in its 100 years of existence. They won the Premier League championship, League Cup championship, FA Cup championship and the supreme Champions League championship.
Such achievements made Mr. Abu very satisfied. Now he has made the acquaintance of many British upper-class aristocrats and has a good reputation in the upper class society, which will be of great help to his future development in the UK.
Therefore, everything Chelsea has achieved is the most worthy thing for him to boast about. It is a success and a pride.
And these days, he is also very happy about another thing, that is, AC Milan is willing to spend 120 million euros plus Shevchenko in exchange for the team's No. 21 young player Allen Wang.
Although the performance of the black-haired boy has always made Mr. Abramovich proud, Chelsea has already won many championships, and he will be suspended for half a year. It is really a good deal to exchange such a player for so much money and his fellow countryman Shevchenko.
Ever since buying Chelsea, Mr. Abramovich has always wanted to buy Shevchenko. After all, this Ukrainian is half his fellow countryman. They both speak Russian and have a lot in common. Moreover, Shevchenko's strength is unquestionable. It can be said that he is now the strongest football player in the whole of Eastern Europe.
"Next season, he will be able to come to Stamford Bridge." Thinking about this, Mr. Abramovich felt very happy.
But at this moment, the office door was pushed open. This sudden change made several bodyguards nearby directly protect Mr. Abu, and took out their pistols and looked at the door vigilantly. When they saw that the person who came in was Peter Kenyon, they returned to their respective positions with a wave of Mr. Abu's hand.
"What's going on?"
Mr. Abu looked calm, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. However, based on his understanding of Peter Kenyon, he did not get angry. He knew that this man would not disturb him at night if there was nothing important, and he would not be so flustered.
boss"
Peter Kenyon let out a long sigh, and just like that staff member, he placed the document in his hand directly on the desk in front of Abu, and then stood there breathlessly pointing at the document, motioning Mr. Abu to take a look at it himself.
"Walter Samuel, Michael Owen, Guti and 130 million euros???"
Mr. Abramovich took just one look and was stunned. He seemed to think he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes quickly and looked again - Walter Samuel, Michael Owen, Guti plus 130 million euros?
Yes, that was indeed the case, he was sure.
However, at this time, he also sat in the chair and pondered. He hesitated.
Mr. Abramovich had heard of these three players: Walter Samuel, Michael Owen and Guti. Among them, Michael Owen was the most famous, after all, he was England's golden boy.
As for the other two players, Mr. Abramovich had only heard of their names and did not know what they meant, so he needed to ask Mourinho. After all, the Portuguese was the head coach of the team. Although Mr. Abramovich liked to give orders to the team, the implications of this transfer were too great and he also needed to seek the opinions of others.
At this time, Mourinho was sitting in his office, studying the team's tactics, personnel configuration, etc. for next season. He needed to make a transfer list and give it to Peter Kenyon to explain who needs to go, who can stay, and what kind of players are needed on which front of the team.
In recent days, Mourinho has been working so late every day. As the head coach of Chelsea Club, he is so busy almost every day.
He picked up the cup of coffee next to him, took a sip, turned his head to look at the lights on the street, sighed, and then focused his attention on the laptop screen on the desk.
In fact, Mourinho was really reluctant to let the team sell Wang Li. This season, the team's games were basically centered around Wang Li, but this black-haired boy was suspended for half a year, and the price offered by other teams really gave him no reason to refuse.
"So, after that black-haired kid leaves, what kind of players should the team add to catch up with the offensive power of this season?"
This problem has been bothering him these days. An offensive core cannot be replaced at will. Even if Barcelona's World Footballer of the Year Ronaldinho came to Chelsea, Mourinho did not think he could replace Wang Li's position. After all, the two's goal numbers are too far apart.
That black-haired boy is not only a simple offensive core, but also one of the world's top shooters.
"Something big happened to Jose Jose." At this moment, the club's assistant coach Clark walked in hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Mourinho stopped thinking and looked at Clark.
"I heard that Real Madrid Club has sent out a new transfer request. Neither Mr. Abramovich nor Mr. Kenyon can make a decision. They need to seek your opinion."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Mourinho became confused. He had no say in Wang Li's transfer. If it was just a matter of money, he believed that the club's CEO Peter Kenyon could make the decision alone. After all, it was just about gaining benefits for the team.
So now he is being asked to join the discussion, it must be related to the players, "Did Real Madrid come up with some strange agreement?"
But he couldn't come to any conclusion by just thinking about it, so he straightened his appearance and immediately walked towards Mr. Abramovich's office on the top floor. In the office of Chelsea Football Club Chairman Roman Abramovich.
Mourinho read the transfer information and was extremely happy.
Walter Samuel
This is a player that cannot be bought.
As early as 2000, Samuel became a member of the Roma team for a high price of 15 million US dollars. Although Samuel, who had not yet adapted to Italian football at the beginning of the season, was constantly criticized by the media for his small mistakes, Samuel later found his feeling and became the leader of the new generation of central defenders in Serie A with Nesta.
Samuel worked diligently in his four seasons at Roma, and his abilities were recognized by all the head coaches. Every head coach of Roma always regarded Samuel as the team's most important rear commander. In the national team, Samuel gradually replaced Ayala's role as the defensive commander.
It can be said that in the minds of the head coaches of each team, Samuel's ability is no less than that of world-class defenders such as Nesta and Stam.
Therefore, in order to solve the defensive problems caused by Makelele's departure, Real Madrid brought him from Italy to the Bernabeu for 24 million euros.
However, this season Samuel has not been able to adapt to the refereeing standards in La Liga. He has been sent off by the referee many times and has been questioned by Real Madrid fans. However, despite this, Samuel's ability is still recognized by all coaches.
If such a player comes to the Premier League where referees have lenient standards for penalties, it is conceivable that the role he can play is no less than that of Makelele and Terry. With such a central defender, Chelsea can completely let him replace Carvalho, who is unstable and frequently injured. In this way, the team's defensive ability will definitely be among the best in the world in Europe.
John Terry, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Ricardo Carvalho, William Gallas, plus Walter Samuel, this back line can almost become a nightmare for any striker.
Mourinho doesn't think much of the other two players, but Michael Owen's arrival at Chelsea can still supplement the team's forward line. After all, the strength of the English golden boy is unquestionable, and his influence alone is extraordinary.
球队的首席执行官彼得.肯扬很看重欧文，因为他觉得欧文的到来，能够加强切尔西的影响力，这样一名英格兰巨星的加盟，要比萨穆埃尔带来更好的影响。
而对于古蒂这名球员，两人却都把持着无所谓的态度，古蒂在皇马几乎就是一个边缘人物，他的实力还可以，可却一直徘徊在皇马主力与替补之间，不过这种球员却只在西甲踢过球，能不能适应英超高强度的对抗，谁也不清楚。
不过，这却也能补充下切尔西的进攻阵容了，聊胜于无，毕竟王利走了之后，球队的进攻能力大大降低了，古蒂的到来，倒也不失为一个不错的补充了。
“怎么样？你们觉得应该同意AC米兰的转会申请，还是皇家马德里的转会申请？”
这时候，看到面前两个人的讨论，阿布先生却纠结了。实际上，他是很想同意AC米兰的转会申请的，但是，他也知道，这两份申请差距太大了，一个舍普琴科，至多只相当于古蒂加上欧文的组合，而看葡萄牙人的样子，那个叫萨穆埃尔的球员，才是三者中对切尔西最重要的，再加上皇家马德里的报价中，又比AC米兰多出1000万欧元，阿布先生即便喜欢插手俱乐部的事宜，总会插进一些私人感情在里面，可是面对这样两份转会申请，理智还是告诉他应该同意皇马的转会。
这样对切尔西的利益是非常有利的。
而穆里尼奥和彼得.肯扬的答案，也和阿布先生想的一样，他们一致认为皇马的申请，对切尔西更有利，毕竟像萨穆埃尔这样的球员，是想买都买不到的。
在西班牙马德里体育城里，转会部门的主管正在向俱乐部主席弗洛伦蒂诺，汇报最新的转会进展情况。“先生，这是切尔西俱乐部的回复，他们已经接受了这个报价，看来我们应该商量怎么让转会顺利进行下去了。”
弗洛伦蒂诺坐在一个躺椅上，他用左手指着下巴，左手端着一小杯威士忌，仔细看着这份回复，笑了笑，才缓缓道：“嗯，接下来的事儿，就你自己做主吧，不过巴尔达，我们也该趁着机会，去一躺东方了，在两百年前，我们的祖先就说过，东方遍地都是黄金，我们应该在那里淘到一些黄金，来补充这个夏天的亏损。”巴尔达听着笑了笑，他知道这个黑心的商人，又开始憧憬去东方淘金了，每一次皇马的东方之行，都能为球队带来大笔的收入，而这次球队如果能顺利买到这个黑发小子，恐怕这收入还要往上翻上一倍之多。
花了将近两亿欧元，皇马也是时候收回一些成本了。
不过，即便如此，两亿欧元的投入，还是让巴尔达纠结不已，恐怕就算十次东方之行，也很难收回这么多钱了。
“那么现在，就让人去和他的经纪人谈谈合同的问题吧。”弗洛伦蒂诺想了想之后，便吩咐道。实际上，尽管弗洛伦蒂诺心里一直觉得引入王利会让皇家马德里的成绩提高很多，也能给俱乐部带来很不错的经济收入，但是这关系到两亿甚至是三亿欧元的大笔转会项目，他也一直在犹豫中，不过，这个商人却是很相信自己的眼光，决定的事儿也不会轻易改变。
当初，在制定‘一年一巨星’计划的时候，弗洛伦蒂诺就和董事会这么承诺的：“按照这个模式发展，我们的成绩一定会一年比一年好，并且还是为俱乐部带来稳定、高昂的收益。”
以此，他得到了很多的支持。
而现在，一年一巨星计划，也产生了一些后遗症，那就是球队各个战线上都是巨星，配合方面就差了一些，球队的成绩在巨星的推动下，反而降低了，这导致上个赛季一直被巴塞罗那所压制，这是弗洛伦蒂诺在制定计划初期没有想到的。
现在，又是做出改变的时候了，而引入王利，就是改变的关键，他相信这个黑发小子，能给皇马带来更多的收益、更好的成绩。
不过，即使如此，弗洛伦蒂诺还是感觉到很大的压力。
毕竟王利要禁赛半年多，如果他复出的时候，发挥和普通巨星一样的水平，那么是绝对不可能赶上这将进两亿欧元的身价的。
“两亿欧元先生”，这是一种荣誉，又怎么不是一种压力呢？
而此时，切尔西俱乐部已经开始接下来的工作了，他们需要是征询里面牵涉到的球员自己的意愿，并签订一系列的合同了。
如果萨穆埃尔、欧文等本人不希望来到切尔西，又或着王利不想去皇家马德里，那么这份转会申请，也根本不可能成效。
同样的，皇家马德里俱乐部也在做他们的工作，他们希望三人同意以交换的方式去切尔西，对这一点，欧文倒是无所谓，这个赛季，他在皇马就是一个悲剧的赛季，在球队里他根本打不上主力，偶尔的一次上场，发挥也遭受太多的质疑，他根本还没有适应西甲的气氛，在加上伤病频频，他倒是早想要离开皇马，重新找一个新的环境呢。
那或许会是个不错的开始，不是吗？
虽说，作为王利的添头去切尔西，怎么都让人觉得不爽，不过，毕竟两人也是朋友，而且两人此时的身价想去甚远，对此，欧文到也没什么抵触。
可萨穆埃尔不同，他早已找到了新东家——国际米兰。
国际米兰俱乐部的主席莫拉蒂先生，已经承诺要给他一份新合同，这份合同绝不低于皇马给他的薪水，并且承诺他一个主力位置。
这样的条件，让萨穆埃尔心动了，他对意甲很熟悉了，去那里他能保证自己有稳定的发挥，可去切尔西能得到什么？至少他现在还不清楚。
而古蒂更是比萨穆埃尔还要抵触，他不想作为添头去切尔西，而且他非常喜欢皇家马德里，他从进入职业生涯开始就一直在皇家马德里，他爱着这个俱乐部，即使只是作为替补，他也不想轻易离开。
第二天，切尔西便派出了转会部门的经理，来专门负责这一块事宜，转会是双方面的事儿，他们还要和对方谈论新合同相关的事宜。
与此同时，皇家马德里俱乐部也找上了王利的经纪人丽塔，并通过丽塔，联系到了王利。
“皇家马德里？”
听到自己的转会，有了新的转机，王利到是没太大的情绪变化，他早就想好了，一切要顺其自然，既然双方俱乐部已经达成了协议，皇马就有权利接触他了，那么他和丽塔，便开始和对方商讨新合约的事儿。
这些事儿，原来王利是不在乎的，一切都交给丽塔做就可以了，但现在，他在伦敦整天也没什么太多事儿，也就跟着一起谈谈。
不过，才刚第二天，他就把工作完全交给丽塔来做了，谈判桌上争争吵吵的，确实不适合他。
与此同时，切尔西和皇家马德里，也在做萨穆埃尔和古蒂的工作，这才是真正的大头，想让他们同意去切尔西，这个工作难度也不小。
经过两天的谈论之后，萨穆埃尔却是心动了，因为切尔西给他提供了一份年薪500万欧元的新合同，这份合同要比他在皇马多拿了百分之五十，并且在肖像权等方面，待遇也很宽松，这种待遇确实值得心动，要知道他去国际米兰肯定不会有这么好的待遇的，那个意大利人现在已经减少了对球队的投入。
而古蒂的工作可就要难多了，这个出生于马德里多莱虹镇的本土球星，怎么也不肯离开皇家马德里俱乐部，他宁愿在皇马处在主力和替补之间，也不愿意离开故土，去往切尔西享受更好的待遇，寻找机会争夺主力位置。
但是，对于古蒂这名球员，穆里尼奥的需求到也不是很迫切，在欧洲里，这种类型的进攻球员，一抓一大把，切尔西倒是把持着无所谓的态度。
结果，双方又进行了新一轮的谈判，皇马也松了口，在转会费上多加了两千万欧元，双方很快便达成了一致。
这些天里，丽塔一直忙碌着和皇家马德里的代表商谈王利的个人合同问题。
对王利来说，他的大部分收入都是足球、商业合同方面，所以对这部分，丽塔却是很重视，而且，在欧洲足球里，一个球员的薪水收入，几乎就代表了他的能力，这不仅仅是金钱的问题，更是一种实力的肯定，却是马虎不得。现在，欧洲的超级球星的收入，大体上都在年薪500万欧元到1000万欧元之间，在切尔西的合同里，不算其他收入，光是王利的年薪，就大概在1500万欧元左右。
这几乎已经相当于普通的超级球星两倍甚至三倍的收入了
However, Rita was not satisfied with this income. Everyone could see Wang Li's performance clearly, but this income did not match his performance.
Before the transfer negotiations, Real Madrid promised to give Wang Li a contract with an annual salary of no less than 30 million euros, but when it really came to the negotiation table, there was more to say. After all, the contract included goal bonuses, winning bonuses, etc. Adding all together, it was not difficult for Wang Li to get 30 million euros with his strength.
After three days of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the annual salary. Real Madrid offered Wang Li an annual salary of 28.5 million euros after tax, which is four times higher than the 6.4 million euros of Ronaldo, Beckham and Raul, the highest paid players in Real Madrid.
This figure is just the annual salary, which does not include various types of bonuses. In other aspects, in accordance with the tradition of Real Madrid, Wang Li has a goal bonus of 30,000 euros, as well as the same winning bonus as other players, and Real Madrid owns 50% of the image rights.
The contract period is still five years, but Wang Li's salary will increase by 10% every year. Don't underestimate this 10%. Based on Wang Li's salary, this 10% is as much as 3 million euros.
In terms of liquidated damages, Real Madrid has set up a penalty of 700 million euros, which shows that Real Madrid is indeed sincere. It seems that Florentino has probably put all his fortune on Wang Li. If he fails, he will die. If Wang Li does not perform well in Real Madrid, then Florentino will definitely step down.
After Rita negotiated the contract, she showed it to Wang Li. Wang Li looked at it carefully and was indeed very satisfied with the contract.
Although his performance is very good, the annual salary income and related aspects of this contract do reflect Real Madrid's sincerity. This super-large contract in history is also matched with his performance.
If everything is satisfactory, then the next step is to wait for the physical examination at Real Madrid and the actual signing time.
At the same time that Wang Li's contract was finalized, Owen and Samuel's contracts with Chelsea were also finalized.
These two players will join Chelsea as a bonus in this transfer, and Chelsea is very satisfied with this. If such players are really to be bought, even if Chelsea offers a lot of money, I am afraid Real Madrid will consider it carefully while selling them.
However, with Wang Li's transfer, Real Madrid's tone was very relaxed. According to their thinking, hundreds of millions of euros have been spent, and they are not afraid of selling these two players who cannot play in Real Madrid to Chelsea.
Although Chelsea has had a great harvest this season and has become the best club in the world, when Wang Li came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid is also confident of achieving good results in the next season, but they are not afraid of Chelsea becoming stronger. After all, no matter how good Chelsea's lineup is, it can never compare with Real Madrid's lineup of superstars on multiple fronts.
On June 15, the contract between the two parties was finally signed. Wang Li, along with Rita and Angela, flew to Madrid with the Real Madrid staff to participate in the team's physical examination. As long as he could pass it smoothly, he would become a member of Real Madrid and would no longer have any relationship with Chelsea.
At this time, Real Madrid also arranged a grand welcome ceremony for Wang Li. This was the joining ceremony for the world's most expensive player, so Florentino absolutely could not keep a low profile.
However, before signing the formal contract, Chelsea and Real Madrid were tacitly keeping a low profile. Chelsea was afraid that Wang Li's departure would make the Blues fans extremely dissatisfied, and Real Madrid naturally wanted to bring surprises to the fans.
Attachment: Wang Li’s new contract.
