Chapter 360: Too Bullying

"Daniel, I heard that Chelsea really wants Modric?"

Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Levi was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly.

This is not big news. Last summer, Modric almost had a fight with Levy on the training ground in order to transfer to Chelsea, which made Levy furious on the spot.

This summer, Modric has repeatedly stated that he is determined to leave the team.

"Chelsea has wanted Luka for a long time, but I will never give Modric to Chelsea. Our management has a very consistent position on this point."

Levi looked angry.

Why does it seem like there is so much bitterness between him and Chelsea?

Isn’t Arsenal Tottenham Hotspur’s arch-rival in the same city?

Yang Huan quickly thought of another question, Arnesen

The latter was the technical director of Tottenham Hotspur back then. It was said that the Tottenham management relied on him very much, but in the end he was forcibly poached by Abramovich to Chelsea. Not only that, Arnesen also privately used his connections in Tottenham to help Chelsea set up a scout network and poach young players.

Because of this, Tottenham Hotspur sued Chelsea, and it seems that the matter was settled with compensation.

If you think about it carefully, Abramovich is really a person who attracts hatred. Why?

Don’t you understand that harmony brings wealth?

"How about sending it to Southampton?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Isn’t Bielsa going to continue to carry out technical reforms on the team?

Modric is a good candidate. He has played in the Premier League for several years and is very adaptable to the Premier League style. There is no compatibility problem. It is very suitable for him to strengthen Southampton's midfield control of the ball.

Levi actually had this idea a long time ago.

There are indeed several teams interested in Modric in the transfer market, but no one has made an offer.

Southampton is a big money sponsor. If Yang Huan wants to sell, the price will definitely not be low.

"There is no problem with our management, but I am worried about the players..."

Yang Huan laughed when he heard this, "I'll take care of the players, name your price."

Levi was immediately happy in his heart. He was indeed a rich man. I can decide the price?

But just when he was about to name a price, Yang Huan suddenly thought of something else.

"Oh, by the way, Yu Cui and Gareth Bale are also packed together."

"Two people?" Levi was a little panicked now.

Sending away one player is no problem, but sending away two players at once, this might affect the team's combat effectiveness, right?

Besides, after Chelsea changed its coach this season, its performance in the league is very eye-catching. Tottenham Hotspur may not have a chance to be in the top four. There will be another team, Southampton, next season. If they send away two generals at once, Tottenham Hotspur will have no chance of success.

If I don’t sell it, how do I solve the money problem?

Now building a new stadium costs money, raising players’ salaries costs money, everything costs money.

No money, no talk.

"Gareth Bale came from Southampton, so you have to get a better deal on the price," Yang Huan said jokingly.

It seems as if Tottenham Hotspur is determined to sell.

Levi smiled bitterly in his heart.

No matter what, who can think of the future?

Get the money first.

"Last summer, Chelsea offered Modric 30 million pounds..."

"Don't give me those empty words, Daniel, just be direct. How much for two players?"

Yang Huan waved his hand, showing no interest in talking to him any more.

You said Chelsea offered 30 million pounds, and I believe it?

If the media's comments are reliable, even old sows can climb trees.

Daniel Levy and the management team had actually already calculated the value of several players in the team.

For a team like Tottenham Hotspur, there is no such thing as a player that is not for sale.

The so-called not for sale items are simply because the price you offer is not high enough to impress them.

"Eighty million pounds" Levy made the offer in his mind without hesitation.

Yang Huan thought to himself that this wasn't too outrageous.

You know, in his previous life, Real Madrid spent 100 million to get Gareth Bale.

But even if I think this in my heart, I certainly can't say it outwardly.

Yang Huan kept shaking his head and said, "It's too expensive."

This sentence is a test.

If Tottenham Hotspur is interested in selling, they will definitely want to hear Yang Huan's offer.

If they have no intention of selling, I don't want to hear what price you offer.

Then Yang Huan would also adjust his negotiation strategy.

It would be best to send out Sun Yue and Peter Nian, a pair of negotiation experts.

But Levy obviously wants to sell.

"Then what is Mr. Yang Huan's desired price?"

Yang Huan thought for a moment, "Modric, 20 million pounds, Gareth Bale 30 million pounds"

In other words, the total price is 50 million pounds.

It should be said that this price is very close to the player's actual worth.

But in the transfer market, it is absolutely impossible to buy a player at such a price unless there are other reasons.

For example, a contract is about to expire, or a player is being sold off.

Therefore, Yang Huan's offer also left room for maneuver.

“This is impossible”

Levi refused without hesitation.

"Then add another five million, fifty-five million." Yang Huan was unwilling to let the negotiations end in vain.

Daniel Levy still shook his head, it was too far from Tottenham Hotspur's ideal price.

Besides, Tottenham's idea is to sell one and keep one.

"Sixty million pounds" Yang Huan raised the price again by five million pounds.

"Daniel, I have shown my sincerity. We will not pay in installments or even in arrears like other teams. We will pay directly in cash, so 60 million pounds is my limit."

cash?

There are only a handful of wealthy people who use cash to buy players these days.

Chelsea also waved cash around and hit people, and later Manchester City did the same, but they have learned their lesson now.

Who would be willing to pay in cash if it can be paid in installments without any interest?

But for those who sell players, the value of cash is too great.

It's like when you go to a store to buy a car, you pay cash or take out a mortgage, those are two different prices for security.

Yang Huan had heard a joke in his previous life. Atletico Madrid brought Falcao from Porto but only bought 45% of the ownership of the player, spending 35 million euros, which was paid in installments. The remaining 5 million was paid by Mendes' company.

It is this company that holds the remaining 55 percent ownership of Falcao.

But in Falcao's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, according to the previous contract terms, Atletico Madrid only earned about 10 million, Falcao himself received more than 10 million euros, and the rest all fell into Mendes' hands.

What's really funny is that after selling Falcao, Atletico Madrid had to pay Porto a transfer fee of more than 10 million according to the contract signed when they introduced him, which was more than the money they made from the transfer deal, and they had to pay nearly 10 million more in the second year.

In other words, even if the players are transferred, Atletico Madrid still has to pay the mortgage to Porto for another two years.

Looking at the entire transfer, Atletico Madrid did not make a penny and even lost the players' salaries.

All I got was the right to use Falcao for two years

Mendes and Falcao earned the most.

Of course, this model does not work in the Premier League because the Premier League prohibits such third-party organizations from owning player ownership.

But it also proves one thing, that installment payments are very uncommon in the transfer market.

In the previous life, Real Madrid bought Gareth Bale and took six years to repay the mortgage.

Damn it, I've been paying it back for six years, and the daylily is cold

Therefore, cash is too much for Tottenham Hotspur.

If we really have 60 million pounds in cash, we can set aside 20 million and spend it as 50 or 60 million pounds in the transfer market, and the rest can be invested in the club's operations to alleviate urgent needs.

"Can you convince the players and their agents?" Levy was tempted.

60 million pounds, more than 70 million euros, that's about it.

It's mainly cash, it's so fascinating.

But for Master Huan, he has nothing but a lot of money.

To him, 60 million pounds is just a week's income. What's the big deal?

Besides, Gareth Bale and Modric are both appreciating deals, worth it

"This is my business, I will handle it," Yang Huan said with a smile.

Levi smiled bitterly. He could only say that this rich man was rich and willful.

"Oh, by the way, if Abramovich wants to buy Modric, remember to tell him to come to me."

Levi was stunned.

Could it be that the young master brought in these two players not to strengthen the team, but to compete with Abramovich?

Isn’t this too willful?

Sixty million pounds, just to play around?

As expected, we don’t understand the world of rich people.

Southampton eventually defeated the visiting Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at their home ground.

It’s not that Tottenham Hotspur is too weak, but that Drogba is too strong.

It is said that after the game, Tottenham Hotspur's main defender Ledley King complained to a familiar reporter and almost cried.

"Damn it, it's too bullying. They keep attacking Drogba. Is that reasonable? Can't they try a different style of attack?"

Come to think of it, Gallas is short and old, so he can't jump.

Ledley King did limit Drogba's size, but he was weak and sickly.

Drogba kept scolding Tottenham Hotspur's two central defenders, almost making them explode with anger.

But there is nothing we can do about Drogba.

The Ivorian is still in good shape, making two assists and one goal, helping Southampton beat Tottenham at home.

It was Gareth Bale who pulled one back for Tottenham, in a counterattack.

Many Southampton fans at the scene still remember Gareth Bale. Although he did not achieve any results in Southampton, this is where he made his debut.

This is also the most troublesome aspect for Southampton's opponents this season.

Not to mention the team's strong midfield and backcourt, who can stand having two monsters in the frontcourt, Drogba and Ibrahimovic?

Just as Drogba was going wild against Tottenham Hotspur, Ibrahimovic suddenly scored twice in an away game against Athletic Bilbao, helping Southampton beat Athletic Bilbao 4-2.

The other two players who scored were Neymar and James Rodriguez.

Toni Kroos had two assists and Strootman also had one assist. Southampton's midfield performed very well in Spain and completely suppressed Athletic Bilbao.

The entire British media went wild

Previously, I thought that all the Premier League teams had fallen and there was no hope for them in the European arena this season.

But who could have thought that Southampton, a dark horse, would suddenly emerge and create miracles time and time again.

Let me ask you, can the British fans not celebrate? Can they not hold Southampton in their hands?

That evening, as soon as the game ended, the score was immediately posted on major forums in the UK. Netizens were in a frenzy, staring at Southampton and praying in their hearts that this team could bring honor to English football.

All reporters are trying their best to create news.

Among them, someone went to the door and found Ferguson.
