Chapter 619 The World's No.1 Price

"Hey, it's not easy to be the boss of the house!"

Under the parasol, Yang Huan sighed, full of regret.

Cash Harris and Pini Zahavi, who were sitting nearby, looked at each other and found it funny.

Running a football club is certainly not easy, but if even Master Huan finds it difficult, then I'm afraid all the professional team owners in the world should just bang their heads against the wall and die.

Southampton has certainly been poached by outsiders, but the poachers have often paid a high price.

With a lot of euros in your hands, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to find the players you want in the transfer market?

European football, as the core of professional football in the world, gathers the best players in the world, except for a very small number of superstar players. It would be a bit funny if anyone said that money cannot buy players.

"Master Huan, haven't you guys been prepared for a long time?" Cash Harris asked with a smile.

It is no secret that a group of top European teams have been chasing Neymar for two or three years. Especially in the past year, each one has been chasing him more diligently than the other.

Didn't Southampton sign Hazard from Ligue 1 in preparation for letting Neymar go one day?

And judging from his performance last season, the Belgian winger does have the ability to replace Neymar.

"Now they not only want to poach Neymar, but also Gareth Bale and Vidal. They really want to wipe out Southampton in one fell swoop!" Yang Huan still looked indignant when he talked about this.

It made me feel like a young wife who had suffered a great injustice.

Pini Zahavi was not surprised by this.

It is a consensus in European football that anything produced by the Saints must be high-quality.

Over the years, there have been no players who have come out of Southampton who are not good enough, only those who are not good enough.

The price is high, but if used well, it is worth it!

Especially with the past season, Southampton defeated Manchester United and won the Premier League championship as a newly promoted team, which brought a huge shock to fans all over the world.

When was the last time a newly promoted team won the championship?

Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern!

But that was the mid-1990s when the Internet was not well developed!

But what about now?

The Internet is all over the world!

The miracle of Southampton's newly promoted team winning the championship has almost made the entire world of football boil. If you are a football fan, who would not talk about the miracle of Southampton's newly promoted team winning the championship?

At the same time, Southampton players also won applause from the audience with their outstanding performance.

It is normal to be poached, and it is abnormal not to be poached!

Pini Zahavi thought of this and smiled slightly, "Master Huan, I heard that the two major sponsors have been trying hard to get Barcelona and Real Madrid to snatch Neymar, so the offer this time will probably not be low, right?"

Just kidding, when Manchester United sold Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson's words might have been a bit exaggerated, but they were definitely not outrageous, because superstars are the most scarce resources, and buying one less means one less.

More importantly, the two Spanish Super League giants are not just looking to buy superstars.

After hearing this, Cash Harris also nodded.

"From the current business strategies of Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two teams are at loggerheads. No matter who grabs Neymar, the other team will definitely do its best to compete for another superstar."

"It's like when Real Madrid signed Beckham, Barcelona immediately signed Ronaldinho. Once Barcelona won the treble, Real Madrid immediately signed three superstars in one go!"

When Cash Harris said this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The only teams in the world that can be so willful are probably Barcelona and Real Madrid!"

What can we do about this?

It is a membership system with tax advantages. You have to spend as much money as you earn. If you can't spend it, it would be a bad thing.

This reminded Yang Huan of many interesting situations in the country, such as some government departments spending money suddenly.

After all, they are exactly the same as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

"Master Huan, how much did you get this time?" Pini Zahavi asked with interest.

Yang Huan smiled slightly and made a one and a six gesture.

"One hundred and sixty million?" The Israelis could no longer sit still and were horrified.

This is definitely the highest price in the world!

Isn’t that crazy?

"What else are you thinking about? Sell it!" Pini Zahavi was depressed.

Faced with an asking price of 160 million, anyone who doesn’t sell is a fool and an idiot!

He didn't believe that Master Huan would not agree given his character!

Not to mention 160 million, even if it's 100 million, I'm afraid Neymar will sell it!

It’s crazy to think about it. Neymar was offered 160 million. How outrageous is that?

Cash Harris nodded with understanding, "This is a double insurance!"

After he said this, Pini Zahavi understood.

Previously, Adidas instigated its sponsored teams to poach Messi, which made Barcelona and Nike feel the crisis. Even Real Madrid itself felt threatened, because there was no guarantee that Nike would not instigate other teams to poach Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, introducing Neymar is equivalent to taking out a double insurance, and can greatly improve the strength of the team. It can be said to be a win-win situation in both business and football.

In fact, no matter who it is, if they lose Neymar, they will definitely bring in another superstar.

The reason is simple: double insurance!

"One hundred and sixty million! It's the ceiling!" Cash Harris was a money man, so he was very clear about it.

Yang Huan also understood in his heart that this was already the limit of the two top teams.

Relatively speaking, Barcelona is not as rich as Real Madrid in terms of cash, so they want to make up for it with players.

It just so happened that Southampton had taken a fancy to Barcelona's players, so the two sides hit it off immediately.

"Master Huan, if you really sell Neymar to Barcelona, ​​you have to be careful that Real Madrid may target Gareth Bale or Ibrahimovic." Pini Zahavi carefully reminded.

Yang Huan understood in his heart and smiled slightly. He and Peter Kenyon were well prepared.

Florentino's transfer style has always been to only buy expensive ones, not the right ones.

As long as it can bring enough advertising effect to Real Madrid, he doesn't mind spending more money, because he has the ability to earn it back, so he only wants the best and most expensive.

Even if you are not the most expensive, it doesn’t matter. I will buy you at the most expensive price, so you are the most expensive one!

This is a very interesting capital operation logic, but you have to admit that it works.

"Personally, I think Gareth Bale is the most likely!" Cash Harris speculated.

"Why?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Looking at the four major European leagues last season, everyone can clearly see the overall strength of Manchester United in the Premier League. The Glazer family has been hyping Rooney for several years, but teams like Chelsea and Real Madrid remain unmoved. Van Persie is already old and does not fit in with Real Madrid's policy of youthful formation."

"So, there is only Southampton left in the Premier League, and the Saints are the most popular with Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Gareth Bale, so I boldly infer that it is Gareth Bale!"

When Cash Harris said this, he suddenly thought of another team.

"But I also don't rule out the possibility that Real Madrid will package Manchester City's Aguero and David Silva to strengthen the team with two big stars, make up for the team's weaknesses, and create a transfer effect at the same time."

Yang Huan also thinks this is very possible, because Real Madrid has been targeting these two players for many years.

"There is no need to talk about Serie A. There are no superstars in Serie A right now. If you can barely count, Juventus's aging Pirlo is one, but it is impossible for him to transfer to a top team."

"Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga is very strong, but their top stars Ribery and Robben are veterans with many injuries. They were not signed two years ago, and it is even more impossible to make a move now. Robben is a former Real Madrid player. Florentino will never take back what he has vomited before."

"Besides Barcelona, ​​the only other team in La Liga is Atletico Madrid. However, as a city rival, the Colchoneros are unlikely to sell their stars to their rivals. Besides, there really aren't any big-name stars in Atletico Madrid!"

After hearing Cash Harris' introduction, it seems to be true.

But Yang Huan was thinking about something else.

The same is true for Gareth Bale. If he is to be sold, it will definitely be sold to other leagues rather than to Manchester City.

It’s not that Yang Huan dislikes Manchester City, but this is equivalent to strengthening his own competitors.

Of course, if Real Madrid really forces Aguero and David Silva, it will definitely be a good thing for Southampton, and it won’t even matter if they sell Gareth Bale to Manchester City.

Manchester City's strength will be greatly weakened due to the loss of these two players.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan's mood immediately changed for the better.

Cash Harris and Pini Zahavi, who were standing by, saw Master Huan's expression and were filled with admiration.

Southampton has been talking with Manchester City for so long, and Gareth Bale has always preferred Manchester City. If Real Madrid suddenly intervenes at this time, it will be impossible to succeed without paying a higher transfer fee.

Once Real Madrid locks on Gareth Bale, Florentino will definitely do whatever it takes after losing Neymar, and by then, it will definitely be another sky-high transfer.

Two sky-high transfers in one summer, perhaps only Master Huan and Southampton have the ability to do so.

Think about it again, how much did Southampton spend on Gareth Bale a year ago?

Now, if I sell it, I can make at least tens of millions.

After all, Southampton’s ability to cultivate players is too strong and their vision for recruiting players is too accurate!

Looking back over the years since Yang Huan took over Southampton, he has almost never failed!

"Let's go, let's go back and have a good seafood dinner to celebrate!"

Feeling better, Yang Huan immediately thought of treating everyone to a meal.

Cash Harris and Pini Zahavi both laughed immediately. This was exactly how Young Master Huan behaved.

The four of them immediately packed up their things, turned around and left the parasol, heading towards the holiday villa.

As for parasols and the like, someone will naturally come and pick them up.

But just when they returned to the villa, Yang Huan had a nice swim, took a shower, changed clothes, and was about to come out to prepare for dinner, the phone rang.

When I looked at the caller ID, it was Florentino.

Needless to say, it must be for Neymar's transfer.

"It seems that the comfortable days are over!"

Yang Huan gave a helpless smile.

Since Florentino has already called me, do I still want to stay out of it?

As soon as the call was connected, Florentino's voice was heard from the other end.

But what was somewhat surprising was that Florentino did not seem to be anxious at all. His voice was still calm and his attitude was still so polite, as if nothing had happened at all.

This is the bearing of a successful person! r1148
