What ball king, call me ball god

On May 5, two days before the final.

The Ajax team came to Madrid, Spain.

In Madrid, the Ajax club contacted Vallecano in the Madrid region to use their training base.

The main reason is that we have cooperated with each other before, and we were very happy that time. This time, we did not choose anything else. Ajax directly chose this place.

As for the hotel, I chose a five-star hotel on the outskirts of Madrid.

Ajax has covered two of those tiers.

This can be regarded as Ajax's blood.

In the past, Ajax had a hard time booking the hotel on the lower floor. Now that they have entered the finals, the Ajax club directly rented the second floor.

After all, this summer, Ajax does not know how much money can be accounted for.

In fact, just after Ajax's chartered flight arrived in Madrid, Ajax's club executives had already held a small meeting.

It is said that it is a high-level, in fact, it is just Van der Sar and Overmars.

Van der Sar was in charge of Ajax's administrative affairs, while Overmars was in charge of the club's transfer affairs.

The two basically arranged more than 90% of Ajax's affairs.

So usually two people come to have a small meeting.

A topic that the two of you came to discuss today.

"Edwin, the season is coming to an end. We must agree on which players can leave and which players will stay."

"Mark, do you think there are any items not for sale in a team like ours? All we have is the price line. If we don't reach the price line, we will definitely not sell it."

"Then the first thing is—"

Overmars paused, but Van der Sar knew who he was talking about.

"Lin, I'm sure we won't be able to keep this summer. The point is, how much money is our bottom line."

"Edwin, I think Lin's matter can wait until after the Champions League final, and his performance in the Champions League final is also crucial. Other players, whether they win the championship or not, may also increase their prices, but Lin, if he He scored in the Champions League final, that is 20 goals in a single season in the Champions League, and 20 goals in the cup match. Has anyone achieved this in history? And if the Champions League wins, then Lin is the most likely player to win the Ballon d'Or. At that time, his worth It will soar, those giants will also go crazy, the transfer fee will only increase steadily, Mbappe can be 1.8 million, how much do you think Lin Kedi will need after winning the championship?"

"Mark, you are right. However, we are not that kind of pure black shop after all. Lin is also a player of our youth training and the darling of the fans. In the end, he must follow his own opinion."

"Of course, we are not a league for talent traffickers like the NBA. We are a three-party market." Overmars said with a smile.

"Next, Mark, which of the two do you think will have a higher transfer fee, De Ligt or De Jong?"

"This really depends on the demand. Generally speaking, the midfielders must be more expensive than the backcourt players, but there is a shortage of central defenders in the market now, especially central defenders like De Ligt who have good physical fitness, speed, and can play the ball. , It is a central defender who fits this era. He is talented and capable, and he will definitely not be cheap, so I think De Ligt will be more expensive than De Jong. Moreover, De Jong is different from De Ligt and Lin Kedi. The two are clubs that neither of them obviously wants to go to, at least not in the external statement, but De Jong said in the interview that he wants to go to Barcelona. He said that he is a fan of Barcelona and is eager to play for Barcelona. of."

"You mean he will cooperate with Barcelona to lower the price by then?"

"Barcelona's financial problems are very serious now, especially their salary level is already at the top level in Europe, so if they want to sign a strong support, they will either shrink in transfer fees or shrink in wages—"

"No player wants to shrink in salary!"

"Yes, so, Barcelona will not take the initiative to tell you to cooperate with the price reduction. It just gives you the option, and you have to cooperate with the price reduction. The more you suppress, the extra part is your salary—"

"Er - this is Barcelona!"

"Edwin, it's useless to think so much. It's better to look at the worth ranking made by the German transfer market. In our team, Lin Kedi's worth is No.1, and Germany's estimated worth is 1 million euros, No.2 It is De Ligt, with a predicted worth of 7000 million euros, the third is De Jong, with a predicted worth of 6500 million, the fourth is Ziyech, with a predicted worth of 6200 million, the fifth is Van der Beek, with a predicted worth of 6000 million, and the sixth is Ma. Zlawi, with a predicted worth of 5000 million euros, seventh is Onana, with a predicted worth of 4500 million euros. These are our players under the age of 24. The worth is not equal to the transfer fee. For example, Tadic is only worth 3000 million euros , but Atletico Madrid has already asked for him, offering 4900 million euros, and West Ham United is also willing to bid 4400 million euros plus a player to buy him. So if we really want to talk, these prices will all rise.”

"Then which players are being offered now."

"Each of these seven players has at least two offers from teams. Apart from Lin, De Ligt has the most offer. There are 5 club offers, of which Paris Saint-Germain has the most offer, and they are willing to offer 9300 million There is still a floating clause of 2000 million euros, but that floating clause is also quite nonsense, so I didn't count it. The lowest bid was also 7000 million euros, which was Juventus. The other was Real Madrid's 7500 million euros , Chelsea bid 7900 million euros, Manchester United bid 8100 million euros."

"No bid from Manchester City?"

"They didn't make a bid. In fact, Manchester City is a team willing to spend money on the defense, but they didn't make a bid. Maybe it's up for grabs."

"Where's De Jong?"

"Currently there are bids from three clubs. Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United. Barcelona offer 5000 million—"

"Hmph, 5000 million? They are really dreaming. They bought Semedo for 3500 million, and they wanted to bid 5000 million for De Jong?"

"Yeah, their bids are really ridiculously low. The bids of the other two are more normal. Paris's bid is 8800 million euros, and Manchester United's bid is 9000 million euros."

"Do Manchester United lack midfield now? Don't they lack defenders? They have Pogba."

"Edwin, you still pay attention to Manchester United. Pogba's struggle at Manchester United may be related to their lack of a 6 player. Now they let Pogba play the 6 position, but obviously, Pogba Ba is more suited to play in the No. 8 position."

"But De Jong doesn't play in the No. 6 position either. He plays as a midfielder, but he is not a No. 6 player. He is actually a standard No. 8 player."

"It's also possible that Manchester United wants two No. 8 positions, one on the left and one on the right? It happens that Pogba's best position is the left midfielder, let De Jong play the right midfielder, and then single midfielder?"

"It seems that this is not bad-forget it, that's about Manchester United. Let's talk about ourselves. Finally, let's talk about Xia Lin. His offer must have been updated to a great extent."

Van der Sar looks to Overmars.

At this moment, Overmars unhurriedly took out a binder.

"Lin Kedi has a total of 9 offers, the lowest of which is 9900 million euros from Juventus, and the other 8 offers are all higher than 1 million euros."

"Although I thought about it, eight clubs are willing to pay more than 8 million euros for him. I really-"

"Edwin, the current transfer market is really not the same as before. Any player can exceed 5000 million euros. How dare you think that the transfer fee of a player can exceed 1 million euros, but now, more than 1 million euros. There are 7 transfer fees of 1.2 million euros. Not to mention that there are several transfer fees of over [-] million euros that have been negotiated this summer. For example, Griezmann’s transfer to Barcelona, ​​such as Hazard’s transfer to Real Madrid .So, if Lin Kedi is less than [-] million euros, I think it is too low!" (End of this chapter)
