I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 297 Transfer Love Triangle! Yang Cheng, why don't you go to the sky? Ask for a high pri

Chapter 297: Transfer Love Triangle! Yang Cheng, why don't you go to the sky? Ask for a high price, and add money when you land! [Subscribe]

2014 is the year of the Brazil World Cup.

In order to give the national teams more time to prepare, major European leagues have shortened their schedules.

La Liga's winter break has also been shortened.

The war was reignited on January 1th.

Real Madrid will play Celta Vigo at home in this round.

But the situation of the Galaxy Battleship has not been ideal in recent times.

After 17 rounds of matches, Real Madrid ranked third in La Liga, behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Both teams currently have 46 points, 5 points ahead of Real Madrid.

Everyone in the Galaxy Battleship felt very depressed about this.

Who wouldn't be good to lose to?
They actually lost to their mortal enemy in the same city!
All Real Madrid fans hope to seize the time during the winter break, strengthen signings, improve the team's competitiveness, and make another push for the championship in the second half of the season.

But for Real Madrid, the problem is more complicated.

For La Liga as a whole, the situation is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Real Madrid president Florentino had only two days of Christmas vacation when he was shocked by an insider news.

Barcelona president Rosell is stepping down!
Although it has not been officially announced yet, it is already a foregone conclusion.

He violated regulations in handling Neymar's transfer and may even be suspected of embezzlement. He must step down.

Of course, this is a matter at the club management level and has little to do with the results on the field.

But as part of the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid is naturally paying close attention to this matter.

After entering 2014, Florentino's first thing was to inspect Valdebebas.

The team started training again, and he wanted to be there in person to meet with the players and coaching staff.

Ancelotti also mentioned the player's contract renewal to him again.

Especially Xabi Alonso and Khedira.

More importantly, Real Madrid decided to invest a sum of money to build a long headquarters office building on a vacant lot in the north of Valdebebas.

The project is currently in the preparation stage.

Today, Real Madrid is a huge company with so many office staff. If Florentino wants to rebuild the Bernabeu, he must build this building and move the headquarters office there.

Otherwise, where will the club's employees work during the renovation of the Bernabeu?

This is another matter of spending money and time.

After Florentino returned to the Bernabeu, he immediately called Jose Sanchez to his office and personally told him that he could start planning the bidding design plan.

Real Madrid is a membership club, all work must go through procedures, and open bidding is inevitable.

Florentino has to take Rosell's previous experience seriously.

"Have you received any response to the offer from the Chinese in Bayswater?"

After talking about the headquarters office building, Florentino mentioned another thing that he was most concerned about.

Just yesterday, Real Madrid sent a fax of offer to the Chinese in Bayswater.

Real Madrid hopes to sign Javi Martinez for 4000 million euros.

This is just a trial by fire.

Last summer, Real Madrid also offered 4000 million euros, but it was rejected by the Chinese in Bayswater.

In this case, Bayswater Chinese will not agree to this offer during the winter transfer period.

But Real Madrid still mentioned it.

I just want to see whether the Chinese in Bayswater will accept negotiations?
As long as you are willing to talk, there is a chance!
At most it’s a question of price.

“No,” Jose Sánchez replied.

This was within Real Madrid's expectations.

"What did the agent say?"

According to the process, Real Madrid made an offer and the Chinese in Bayswater were required to inform the player and his agent.

If you don’t say it, it’s a violation.

"The player is really interested in returning to La Liga."

Florentino knew what was going on.

This was the attitude last summer.

Javi Martinez has performed very well for Bayswater Chinese and made great contributions to the team.

But he faces competition from Matic.

In fact, the Serbian midfielder's appearance order is higher than his.

Because Matic is a front midfielder, he has better passing and ball control abilities, which better meets Yang Cheng's requirements.

But Javi Martinez's attitude is very clear. He will not participate in the negotiations, nor will he coerce the club.

This involves the character of the players.

In order to climb up, some players will seize every opportunity and even resort to some means.

For example, strikes and the like.

Some players won't do that, they hope to part ways amicably.

If he has to choose one, Florentino actually prefers the latter.

This may have something to do with the fact that he manages a large construction group.

Besides, if he can do something to join Real Madrid today, he may also do something to leave Real Madrid tomorrow.

Florentino has been in the upper class for so many years, and he knows one thing clearly.

There are many things more important than money!
"What is the attitude of Khedira and Xabi Alonso?" Florentino felt a little headache.

"In fact, from the perspective of interests, Khedira's value is likely to increase after the World Cup, but by then, he will only have one year left on his contract."

The whole world knows that players with only one year left on their contract cannot be sold at a high price.

Khedira's current market valuation is approximately 2000 million euros.

If we take advantage of the winter transfer window and the players are in high demand, we may be able to sell them for a slightly higher price.

Can it be left until the summer transfer window?
At the age of 27, he has only one year left on his contract. Even if he performs well in the World Cup and his value increases, how high can it go?

The player's technical characteristics are also there, and it is obvious that they are not the type that can play a decisive role.

In this case, Real Madrid also has to consider its own interests.

"Xabi Alonso's attitude is even tougher. There are reports that Guardiola wants to sign Xabi Alonso."

Jose Sanchez apparently wasn't so sure either.

As Xabi Alonso's contract expires in 2014.

According to the rules, he can already contact other clubs in advance.

Therefore, Real Madrid actually doesn’t know much about many things.

"Don't they already have a Pirlo?"

"After this season, Pirlo will be 35 years old and Xabi Alonso will only be 32 years old."

After a pause, Jose Sanchez added, "The main reason is that there are too few midfielders of this type now, and they are very scarce, so Guardiola wants to take action."

The whole world knows Guardiola's coaching style.

It is indeed amazing.

He brought Messi to the Premier League and topped the standings in just half a year.

It is even possible that this season the Bayswater Chinese will overthrow their five-year domination of the Premier League.

"In addition, I received news that AC Milan is preparing to sign Essien from Chelsea, but the Blues have not yet given the nod."

Florentino knows what Chelsea is waiting for.

As long as Real Madrid agrees to Khedira's transfer, Chelsea will immediately release Essien.

Real Madrid is waiting for the Chinese from Bayswater.

If Javi Martinez can be signed, letting Khedira go would not be unacceptable.

Florentino and Real Madrid's technical team have also studied this matter, and there are still significant differences.

The most important thing is the Champions League appearance.

Javi Martinez has played in the Champions League for Bayswater Chinese, so he cannot play in the Champions League for Real Madrid.

Is it worth spending a lot of money to sign a player who can't play in the Champions League?
This is also what Florentino is most concerned about now.

Suddenly, he felt very regretful.

If I had known earlier, I should have stepped up efforts last summer and taken the opportunity to sign Javi Martinez.

If we had signed it then, we wouldn't have so much trouble now.

But at that time everyone thought that Illarramendi could replace Xabi Alonso.

This was the best defensive midfielder in La Liga last season.

Who would have thought that Illarramendi's performance would be so different after coming to Real Madrid from Real Sociedad?
Thinking of this, Florentino couldn't help but sigh about one thing.

People in the European football circle say that anything Yang Cheng produces must be high quality.

Now it seems that poaching Chinese people from Bayswater is a bit expensive, but it is worth it!
On the contrary, players like Illarramendi are not much cheaper, but their performance is far from the same.

Thinking of this, Florentino gritted his teeth and looked at Jose Sanchez in front of him.

"Jose, get ready, take your people with you, and go to London again to contact the Bayswater Chinese and Chelsea."

José Sánchez understood what the chairman meant.

Sell ​​Khedira and sign Javi Martinez.

Two transactions are carried out simultaneously.

"Then...how do we talk?" Jose Sanchez needs to know where the club's bottom line is.

"The price difference must be kept within 3000 million euros at all costs!" Florentino said solemnly.

As the general manager of Real Madrid, Jose Sanchez knows very well where the 3000 million euro difference came from.

On the one hand, the prices of winter transfers will be a bit high, but they can't be too high.

Especially since Javi Martinez cannot play in the Champions League yet, if the price deviation is too big, the fans will definitely not be able to accept it.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's current finances are not very strong, and 2014 is the World Cup year, so Real Madrid needs to set aside some funds to invest in the transfer market in the summer.

In the past two years, Real Madrid has been under tremendous pressure in terms of revenue.

They have been overtaken by the Chinese in Bayswater.

Now that Messi has gone to the Premier League, Ronaldo seems to be a lone star, but people who are familiar with the operating model of the Spanish Super League know that this is actually a disguised way of lowering Ronaldo's commercial value.

This is the same principle as hyping up CP.

Ronaldo and Messi are hyped together, one plus one is greater than two.

Now that Messi has gone to the Premier League, Ronaldo has become a lonely man.

There is scarcity, but the commercial value is obviously low.

Not only that, the influence of the national derby is now much lower.

Lewandowski has enough cards and Neymar has enough background, but neither of them can replace Messi.

Therefore, Real Madrid intends to sign a heavyweight superstar this summer, taking advantage of the wave of the Brazil World Cup.

Who it will be depends on who performs best in the World Cup.

It’s always like this in competition years, buy whoever is popular.

At this time, tactical value must give way to commercial value!
Therefore, Real Madrid cannot invest too much money in Javi Martinez now.

……

After the 20th round of the Premier League, the next schedule was a nightmare for Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese.

How cruel is it?
Since Southampton, the opponent in the 16th round, and Crystal Palace, the opponent in the 17th round, did not enter the League Cup semi-finals, the two rounds of make-up matches were all scheduled in January.

Because it is a World Cup year, all matches will be compressed.

于是,12月26日、28日,以及1月1日踢完3轮英超之后,贝斯沃特中国人还要迎来一波魔鬼赛程。

On January 1, in the third round of the FA Cup, we played away against Aston Villa.

On January 1, the 8th round of the Premier League was played at home against Southampton.

On April 1, in the 11th round of the Premier League, we faced Manchester City at home.

On January 1, if Bayswater Chinese and Crystal Palace draw in the third round of the FA Cup, it will be a make-up match for the third round of the FA Cup. If there is no make-up match for the FA Cup, it will be a make-up match for the 15th round of the Premier League, and they will challenge Crystal Palace away.

On January 1, the 18nd round of the Premier League will be an away game against West Bromwich Albion.

That is to say, from December 12th to January 26th, a total of 1 days, Bayswater Chinese will play a total of 18 games.

And they are all Premier League teams!

This also includes two strong dialogues between Arsenal and Manchester City.

Therefore, when the schedule for the two rounds of make-up matches of the league came out, Yang Cheng felt very troubled.

This means that from Christmas to late January, the Chinese in Bayswater have almost no chance to breathe.

While other teams are taking a break, Bayswater Chinese will continue to fight.

What's worse is that Thiago Silva was injured.

But there is no way. We participated in the Club World Cup and missed two rounds of games, and now we have to make up for it.

Therefore, in the third round of the FA Cup, in the away game against Aston Villa, Yang Cheng played with an all-substitute lineup.

The back line even includes Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, John Stones and Kyle Walker, England's pit defense line.

The English forward combination of Sterling, Harry Kane and Walcott was also deployed on the front line.

Yang Cheng had even prepared himself mentally for the worst.

That was being eliminated in the first game of the FA Cup.

But sometimes, things are just funny.

Although Aston Villa attached great importance to the game, they did not send all their main players.

They are also adjusting.

In the 20th minute of the game, Sterling received an assist from Aaron Ramsey and scored the first goal for Bayswater Chinese.

What surprised Yang Cheng even more was that that crappy defense actually performed well throughout the entire game.

This also has something to do with Javi Martinez's defense in the front.

It was not until the 75th minute of the second half that Aston Villa's 1-meter-tall Danish center forward Niklas Hellenius took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt to help Aston Villa equalize the score.

But just 6 minutes later, Luke Shaw assisted Walcott to score another goal, increasing the score again.

After that, this score remained until the end of the game.

Bayswater Chinese beat Aston Villa 2-1 away and successfully advanced to the next round.

The news that made Yang Cheng not sure whether he should be happy or sad was that Crystal Palace defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away.

In other words, the league make-up match on January 1 will be held as scheduled.

The upset in this round of FA Cup was Manchester United losing 1-2 to Swansea at home.

Ferguson's team was defeated in the first round of the FA Cup again.

Manchester United fans at Old Trafford were very unhappy with this.

Because this is not the first time.

……

On January 1, in the 8th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Southampton at home.

As the team will be facing Manchester City at home this weekend, Yang Cheng still made a lot of rotations in this game.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Gareth Bale assisted Modric to break into the penalty area and score against the Saints.

In the 38th minute, Piszczek made a run from behind, broke into the right side of the penalty area, received a pass from Giroud, and took a long shot, once again breaking through Southampton's goal.

After establishing the advantage early in the first half, Yang Cheng began to make substitutions after the halftime break.

It was not until the 86th minute that Walcott, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal with an assist from Harry Kane, who also came on as a substitute.

3 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese eventually won 3- against Southampton at home.

……

May 1, Prudential Arena, London.

In the 21th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese faced Manchester City at home.

Just 8 minutes into the game, Marcelo received a pass from Hazard on the left side of the center line, adjusted slightly, and then sent a precise over-the-top pass with his left foot.

The football was directly picked over the heads of Chiellini and Kompany and fell behind the defense line.

Almost at the same moment, a red figure quickly emerged from between Kompany and Zabaleta.

Gareth Bale penetrated Manchester City's defense like a red lightning and quickly rushed to the right side of the penalty area.

Facing Marcelo's pass, Gareth Bale stopped the ball with his chest.

Manchester City's German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen left the goal and rushed straight at Gareth Bale.

The Welsh player didn't even wait for the ball to hit the ground. Without even being able to keep his body steady, he kicked the ball with his left foot.

After picking up the ball, Gareth Bale lost his balance and fell on the right side of Manchester City's penalty area.

But the football passed over Ter Stegen's head and slowly fell towards the unguarded goal behind him.

The moment the football fell into the penalty area, the watch on the wrist of referee Mike Jones immediately sent a prompt.

A clear whistle sounded immediately.

The goal is valid!

1 is better than 0!

At this moment, Prudential Arena erupted in thunderous cheers.

Gareth Bale jumped up from the ground, rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

The opening attack by the Chinese in Bayswater worked again!
In recent times, Yang Cheng's team has been facing tremendous pressure due to continuous multi-line battles and encountering strong teams.

Being able to break Manchester City's goal first in the opening attack was undoubtedly a good start for this strong dialogue.

But Yang Cheng knew what was going on.

The real test of the game does not come at the start.

Although Manchester City also played a League Cup semi-final in the middle of the week, Guardiola kept Messi and Aguero out of the starting lineup, clearly intending to make a strong effort in the second half.

Therefore, after scoring the goal, Yang Cheng made a prompt decision and signaled the team to continue attacking.

The score of 1 to 0 is too unsafe!

Yang Cheng hopes that the team can continue their efforts and strive to score another goal.

But Guardiola fielded a defensive line of Leighton Baines, Chiellini, Kompany and Zabaleta in this game.

In front is a midfield three of Yaya Toure, Fernandinho and Verratti.

With such a midfield and backcourt configuration, Manchester City's defensive level cannot be underestimated.

Facing a wave of attacks from the Chinese in Bayswater, the Blue Moon managed to block the attack.

The first half ended with Bayswater Chinese leading 1-0.

But after the change of sides in the second half, the situation began to change.

Manchester City gradually took control of the situation on the field.

Especially from the 55th minute, Guardiola first replaced Aguero.

In the 61st minute, he replaced Fernandinho with Messi again.

This time, Manchester City is ready for an all-out attack.

The Chinese in Bayswater were able to cope at first.

The central defenders of Pepe and Van Dijk, together with Javi Martinez, formed a solid defensive protection for the goal.

But in the 79th minute, Guardiola made another substitution, with Navas coming on as a substitute.

Manchester City sounded the clarion call for a full-scale attack!

In the 91st minute, which was the first minute of stoppage time, when Messi dribbled the ball through the middle and passed it to Aguero, the Argentine striker was fouled by Van Dijk at the front of the penalty area.

Manchester City got a free kick opportunity in a very good position.

Messi calmly took the penalty, and the free kick had a clear arc, which went into the goal of the Bayswater Chinese!
When the whole world was praising the free kick skills of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Pirlo and others, many people underestimated Messi's free kick.

This time, the Argentine used a wonderful direct free kick to help Manchester City maintain their position as the league leader.

1 is better than 1!

In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace.

……

In the 21st round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Hull City 2-0 away.

Manchester United, who had just been upset by Swansea in the FA Cup, avenged their previous defeat by defeating Swansea 2-0 at home.

Arsenal beat Aston Villa 2-1 away from home.

Liverpool played a goal-scoring battle away from home, beating Stoke City 5-3.

Suarez scored twice again.

The Uruguayan striker is really on a goalscoring streak this season.

Just two days after the 21st round of the Premier League, on January 2, the FIFA awards ceremony was held in Zurich, Switzerland, and the final result was somewhat surprising.

C Ronaldo was elected as the winner of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or with 27.99% of the votes.

Messi ranked second with 24.72% of the votes.

Lewandowski came in third with 23.36% of the votes.

Courtois, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe, Modric and Toni Kroos were all shortlisted for the best team of the year, making the club with the most nominees among all the top teams.

But the most important front trident is Ronaldo, Lewandowski and Messi.

Lewandowski has moved to Barcelona and is considered a Barcelona player. Gareth Bale was disappointed not to be included in the best team.

But Yang Cheng won the Best Men's Football Coach Award.

However, Yang Cheng did not show up to receive the award on the grounds that he was leading a team to participate in the competition.

On January 1, after the award ceremony, Bayswater Chinese drew 15-1 with Crystal Palace away.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Moroccan striker Chamakh took advantage of a mistake by the Bayswater Chinese defense and broke through the goal guarded by Courtois.

But in the 65th minute of the second half, Gareth Bale, who came on as a substitute, equalized the score for the team.

After that, neither side was able to score again.

1-1, Bayswater Chinese suffered a draw again.

After two rounds of make-up matches, Bayswater Chinese had 16 points with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 51 losses.

After 21 rounds of games, Manchester City topped the Premier League with 53 points.

Bayswater Chinese came in second with 51 points.

Arsenal also has 51 points, but is in third place due to goal difference.

Liverpool ranks fourth in the Premier League with 48 points.

Manchester United is in third place with 47 points.

Chelsea is in 46th place with 6 points.

The competition is still very fierce.

From 6th place in the league to the top, there is only a difference of 7 points.

As many media have said, this is the most competitive Premier League season in history.

This is not only true for the top teams aiming for the championship.

The difference from 11th to 20th in the league is only 4 points.

The relegation situation is quite serious.

……

December 1, the 18th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese will challenge the Hammers West Ham United away this round.

Big Sam Allardyce's team had neither a midweek League Cup semi-final nor a make-up match.

Not only were they playing at home, they were also recuperating, and in the last round they defeated Cardiff, who were also in the relegation zone, 2-0 away from home, firing the first shot towards relegation.

Before the game, Allardyce called on the team to show a desperate determination to avoid relegation at home and to snipe at Bayswater Chinese at home.

You know, Yang Cheng's team is now exhausted after a long battle.

In just 24 days, he played 8 games in a row, which was too much for even the strongest body.

And the last two games were both 1-1 draws.

This included the make-up match in which they drew 1-1 away from home with Crystal Palace, second to last in the table.

This is simply a gift from God to West Ham United.

If Crystal Palace, who are at the bottom, can do it, West Ham United, who are ranked 18th, can definitely do better!

Allardyce faced the game with a 4231 lineup, and specially arranged former Bayswater Chinese player Andy Carroll on the striker line.

But the game did not go as Allardyce expected.

Just 16 minutes into the first half, Hazard made a wonderful pass, Gareth Bale broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot with his left foot, opening the scoring for the Bayswater Chinese.

1 is better than 0!

Just like when they broke through the Crystal Palace goal in the previous round, the Welsh players rushed out of the stadium excitedly, roaring wildly all the way, venting their inner dissatisfaction.

With his performance, he couldn't even make it into the best team!
This is simply outrageous!
But everyone knows Gareth Bale's character, he will not express his inner dissatisfaction.

He only lets it out through his performance on the court.

In the 33rd minute, Gareth Bale made an assist and Giroud scored again with a close-range shot with his left foot.

2 is better than 0!

And in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Giroud returned the favor and made an assist, and Gareth Bale scored again, scoring twice.

3 is better than 0!

Allardyce was completely stunned.

Are the Chinese in Bayswater behaving well?
Actually, it’s not that good.

But he just keeps scoring goals!
This is the role of a star player!

What made Allardyce even more desperate was that after the change of sides in the second half, just one minute into the game, with Giroud's assist, Gareth Bale cut in from the right side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner with his left foot.

4 is better than 0!

The Welshman scored a hat trick!
This was the first shot in the second half and it scored!
It can be said that the game is basically over at this moment.

Yang Cheng indeed thought so.

So he started to make substitutions.

Walcott replaced Gareth Bale, who scored a hat-trick, to give the Welshman a good rest.

Unexpectedly, in the 68th minute, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and made a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area. Walcott made a lightning forward move and shot the ball, breaking through West Ham United's goal again.

5 is better than 0!

Just three minutes later, Aaron Ramsey passed the ball straight from the center, Walcott successfully made an offside move, stopped the ball in the penalty area, and scored with a low left-foot shot.

6 is better than 0!

The little tiger scored twice!

Yang Cheng then replaced two people in a row.

But in the 79th minute, Harry Kane, who came on as a substitute, made another assist, Sterling broke into the penalty area and shot into the goal.

7 is better than 0!

Allardyce almost cried on the spot!

What the hell is going on?

Isn't it said that you are exhausted?

How can they keep scoring goals like this?
What made Allardyce even more upset was that Yang Cheng "criticized" the team after the game, saying that the whole game was not ideal and there were many mistakes. "This is not the normal performance level of us Chinese in Bayswater!"

Big Sam really wanted to question him face to face, he was able to score 7 goals against us even though he was not performing at his best, so what if he had performed normally?
Yang Cheng, why don’t you go to heaven?

In this round, Manchester City defeated Cardiff 4-2 at home.

Arsenal beat Fulham 2-0 at home.

Liverpool drew 2-2 with Aston Villa at home.

Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1 at home.

Among them, the game at Stamford Bridge attracted the most attention.

Eto'o scored a hat trick.

Manchester United center back David Luiz received a lot of criticism after the game because his performance as a center back was hardly satisfactory, especially the mistakes he made on the field.

After this round of games, Manchester City leads with 56 points.

Bayswater Chinese came in second with 54 points.

Arsenal also has 54 points, ranking third.

Liverpool and Chelsea both have 49 points, but the Reds are in fourth place thanks to their goal difference.

Manchester United lost to Chelsea away and got 47 points, ranking 6th.

It was also in this round, after the game, that the Chinese talents of Bayswater had a week's respite.

24 days, 8 games.

It can almost be said that the Chinese in Bayswater have done their best.

Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally.

But fortunately, I finally withstood the pressure.

On January 22, the day after the 1nd round of the Premier League, Yang Cheng received a call from Adam Crozier.

Real Madrid general manager Jose Sanchez arrived in London with his team.

……

On the morning of the 20th, in the head coach's office at the Brent Training Center.

After the morning training session, Adam Crozier, Dan Ashworth, Mike Rigg, and chief assistant coach Brian Kidd came to Yang Cheng's office.

Adam Crozier reported what he gained from dinner with Jose Sanchez and his group last night.

Real Madrid want to sign Javi Martinez!

This is a "secret" known to the whole world.

"5000 million... in Euros or Pounds?"

Yang Cheng asked this question when Adam Crozier revealed the figure of 50 million.

"Of course it's the euro." Adam Crozier smiled bitterly.

"Given the nature of Real Madrid, do you think they will suddenly increase the price from 4000 million euros to 5000 million pounds?"

Florentino's poaching has always been aboveboard, but this does not mean that Real Madrid is a sweet potato that can be bullied at will.

Everyone smiled.

"Then I won't sell it!" Yang Cheng refused again.

Everyone nodded.

If we give up on the transfer too early during the winter break, it will be disadvantageous to Bayswater Chinese.

Besides, selling Javi Martinez now would not be good for the team's upcoming schedule.

"I have learned that the player himself does have the idea of ​​returning to Spain to play football, and Real Madrid is discussing Khedira's transfer with Chelsea. It is said that Chelsea is constantly increasing its offer."

Chelsea is now ranked 5th, but has the same points as Liverpool.

The Blues haven't entered the Champions League for many years and now obviously want to give it a try.

You know, entering the Champions League now can earn tens of millions of euros.

Not to mention, returning to the Champions League after many years means a lot to the Blues.

Sometimes, Yang Cheng has to admit that Mourinho is really good at coaching Chelsea.

"What is Khedira's price now?"

"2500 million euros," Dan Ashworth replied.

“But both sides are still holding on to this line and are unwilling to give in.”

Khedira's current market valuation is between 1800 million and 2000 million euros.

Selling it for 2500 million euros is actually quite good.

The main reason is age and strength.

He is 27 years old.

"In addition, Gazzetta dello Sport also reported that if Mourinho fails to sign Khedira, he may turn to sign Inter Milan midfielder Guarin, whose transfer fee will be cheaper than Khedira," Mike Rigg added.

The rumors in the transfer market are true and false, and confusing.

Both sides are playing the game.

"Mourinho... I know him. He prefers the familiar to the new. That's why he doesn't like young players. He prefers the players he is familiar with. So he would rather spend a little more money to sign Khedira."

Yang Cheng tried to analyze the possibility of this transfer based on Mourinho's personality.

"Real Madrid is in a hurry."

When Adam Crozier said this, the phone suddenly rang again.

Caller ID: Jose Sanchez.

The CEO of Bayswater Chinese showed Yang Cheng his caller ID, smiled and said, "I'm going to go out and answer a call."

Having said that, he stood up and left.

In less than 2 minutes, he came back.

"Jose Sanchez asked me out for lunch."

Everyone immediately looked at Yang Cheng.

"Then let's talk!" Yang Cheng nodded in agreement.

The player wants to leave and Real Madrid wants to buy him. It's only a matter of time.

"What's your target price?" Adam Crozier asked.

"5500 million euros, plus Casemiro."

"Casemiro?"

Everyone was very surprised.

No one is unfamiliar with this Brazilian midfielder.

He is 21 years old, but he has played very little time for Real Madrid this season, so people are not familiar with him.

The only impression is that the performance was not good.

The reason is simple. If he performs well, why would Real Madrid want to spend money on Javi Martinez during the winter break?

Casemiro's appearance order among Real Madrid's defensive midfielders is even after Illarramendi, ranking fourth or fifth.

Dan Ashworth immediately took out his tablet and looked up Casemiro's information.

"I played four times in La Liga, and the total minutes was only 4 minutes."

"But he did come off the bench twice in the Champions League, both times for very little time, but he did play.

This means that Casemiro, like Javi Martinez, will not be able to represent the team in the Champions League even if he transfers.

"Casemiro doesn't get enough playing time for the national team," Mike Rigg also reminded.

Although Casemiro played for Brazil on September 11, 9, he has only played five times for Brazil so far, all of which were a few minutes of garbage time and were friendly matches.

When it came to the official America's Cup, he couldn't even make the roster.

Since Brazil is the host of the 2014 World Cup, it will not participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

"He has not played for the Brazilian national team for even a minute since June 12, and has not been included in the roster."

"With his performance, he won't be able to get a work permit."

Yang Cheng nodded.

Not being able to obtain a work permit is not a problem for the Chinese in Bayswater.

At worst, you can just apply for special genius clauses.

Last summer, Real Madrid just signed Casemiro for 600 million euros.

Despite his poor performance, the Brazilian midfielder is worth around 500 million euros.

In this way, Adam Crozier knew Yang Cheng's desired price.

"I think we should not talk about Casemiro first, but use Illarramendi," Mike Rigg suggested.

"That's right, use Illarramendi or Isco first to throw a smoke bomb." Dan Ashworth agreed.

Given Yang Cheng's reputation, if he directly targets Casemiro and makes Real Madrid suspicious, they probably won't be willing to sell him.

As for Illarramendi and Isco, Real Madrid is unlikely to sell them.

These two are local players that Real Madrid is very optimistic about.

After Adam Crozier thought about it, he had an idea.

The price is sky-high, and then you pay more when it drops!

……

Half an hour later, in central London, at the Mayfair Marriott Hotel.

When Adam Crozier saw Jose Sanchez again, he naturally exchanged polite greetings.

The two sides had lunch in the hotel's high-end restaurant and talked about many things.

This includes Khedira's transfer to Chelsea.

Adam Crozer heard from Jose Sanchez that the transfer had made a breakthrough.

Chelsea are willing to increase their offer.

But Real Madrid never gave in.

the reason is simple.

Javi Martinez, whom they wanted to sign, has not yet been found.

This made Adam Crozer feel very strange.

The fact that Casemiro is valued by Yang Cheng proves that this Brazilian player has potential, but why doesn't Real Madrid give him a chance?
When talking about Javi Martinez, Adam Crozier also looked embarrassed and kept shaking his head.

"You know, we've fallen behind Manchester City in the league recently and the team is under a lot of pressure. I just went to Brent to meet our boss and he refused to sell Javi Martinez."

After a pause, Adam Crozier added, "You know, we have to fight back in the second half and defeat Manchester City!"

This statement makes sense.

Given the Chinese side's current squad configuration at Bayswater, if they really were to sell Javi Martinez, the impact would indeed be quite large.

After hearing this, Jose Sanchez frowned even deeper.

He certainly didn't completely believe what Adam Crozier said.

Thousands of reasons, tens of thousands of excuses, it all comes down to one word: you have to pay more!

"You have a lot of talented players in the midfield now, so you shouldn't be short of Javi Martinez, right?" Jose Sanchez said with a smile.

"Why not?"

After a pause, Adam Crozier glanced at Jose Sanchez and changed the subject: "However, our boss really appreciates Isco. If you are willing to offer 3000 million euros plus Isco, I am sure I can convince him."

3000 million euros, plus Isco?
Jose Sanchez almost jumped.

You guys really dare to think like that!
Isco is a top talent in Spain with an estimated market value of 3500 million euros.

"This is impossible, Adam. Isco has never been on our transfer list, and he can't be included in the transfer of Javi Martinez. There is no need to discuss this matter." Jose Sanchez refused without hesitation.

"It's a pity!"

Adam Crozier shook his head and sighed regretfully, "However, we can accept your offer, but we can also consider 5000 million euros plus Illarramendi."

"Are you crazy? We spent 3200 million euros to sign Illarramendi last year, and you plan to ask for more than 8000 million euros for Javi Martinez?"

Adam Crozier shook his head and said, "We all know that his normal value is only about 1200 million euros."

What this means is, who asked you to pay the termination fee?
Jose Sanchez was also depressed.

Illarramendi's market value is indeed only 1200 million euros, but Real Madrid wanted to sign him, Real Sociedad refused, and they could only pay the buyout clause, so they offered 3200 million euros.

In fact, if various taxes and fees are taken into account, the total amount is about 3500 million euros.

"Adam, Illarramendi is a young player we are very optimistic about. He is the successor to Xabi Alonso. It is impossible for us to sell him, but we can consider loaning him to Bayswater Chinese in the second half of the season."

When Adam Crozier heard this, he burst out laughing.

"You guys are so beautiful that you can't train them yourself, so you rent them to us, and we train them for you, and then you call them back?"

Jose Sanchez himself laughed.

Of course he knew that this was basically impossible.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

But whether it is Isco or Illarramendi, Real Madrid will never let go.

"Then there's basically nothing to discuss. We can't find a replacement for Javi Martinez anytime soon, so I can only say sorry to you."

After hearing this, Jose Sanchez couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He has almost finished the talks with Chelsea.

The Blues are willing to increase the price to 3000 million euros.

This is a very good price for Khedira, whose market value is around 2000 million euros.

After thinking for a while, Jose Sanchez looked at Adam Crozier again, "We are willing to offer 6000 million euros, which is 5000 million pounds!"

This is the highest price Real Madrid can offer.

That's the extent of Jose Sanchez's authority.

"Jose, the problem now is that we can't find a suitable candidate to replace Javi Martinez with this money. Go to the European transfer market and see if there is anyone who can replace him?"

If so, would Real Madrid still be so persistent in pursuing Javi Martinez?

"Don't you have another Matic?"

"One defensive midfielder is not enough, at least there should be a substitute, right?"

Jose Sanchez was in a dilemma.

He now believes that the Chinese in Bayswater really want Illarramendi.

He is young, capable, and has proven himself, but he just can't adapt to Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid will never sell him!
At least, not right now.

At this moment, Jose Sanchez finally remembered that there was a defensive midfielder in the first team, Casemiro.

"Casemiro?"

"Yes, this player is very talented and our technical team is very optimistic about him."

"Who are you trying to fool? If you really want to see him, why don't you use him? Also, has he ever played in the Champions League? Can he get a work permit?"

The answer is, neither!
"Then what are we here for?"

"5500 million euros, plus Casemiro, he is worth at least 500 million euros." Jose Sanchez made another offer.

Adam Crozier looked at Jose Sanchez, then looked at the others around him and found that everyone was staring at him.

The Englishman sighed awkwardly, with an extremely reluctant expression on his face, "6000 million euros, plus Casemiro!"

"Deal!" Jose Sanchez made the decision on the spot.

The general manager of Real Madrid didn't even give Adam Crozer a chance to change his mind, and forced him to sign the agreement on the spot.
