638 Moved to Liverpool

"Congratulations, John. Congratulations, too, Diego."

John Henry and Simeone started discussing some issues for next season.The talk was okay, John Henry approved of Simeone's team building plan.Later, John Henry and Simeone's sister discussed some of Simeone's treatment issues next season.When they were almost done talking, Rist interrupted.

"I should thank you for your help."

"It's nothing."

Simeone's salary is not high, and his salary at Liverpool is only 220 million pounds, which is simply not ranked in the Premier League.In front of him, Pellegrini, Ferguson, Wenger, Redknapp, Martin O'Neill, Hughes, and Moyes all have higher salaries than Simeone.But Simeone himself is very happy, because for Simeone, the platform is different.

After the two sides said a few simple words, Simeone said to John Henry: "Liverpool is still not weak. Chairman Henry, let me talk about the players that Liverpool must keep next season. Goalkeeper Reina, defenseman A Greg, Carragher, Gerrard, Lucas, Lennon in the midfield. Besides, Glenn Johnson, Dirk, Benayoun are all effective supplements."

Simeone was talking to John Henry, but in fact Simeone was talking to Liverpool sports director Comolli next to him.Comolli didn't say anything, remembering what Simeone meant.

"Chairman Henry, how much transfer fee can I get next season?"

John Henry looked at Simeone and said: "Diego, I am not Abramovich, nor Mansour. I can offer a transfer fee of up to 4000 million euros. Of course, the transfer fee after the transfer of Liverpool players is not included Inside."

Simeone immediately calculated in his mind.Henry's transfer fee of 4000 million euros is not too low.If you put it a few years ago, the boss gave the club a transfer fee of 4000 million euros, which is already quite high.

Too bad it's different now.After the top giants Real Madrid and the upstart Manchester City have raised the prices of players, 4000 million euros is nothing.After all, now is the era when any defender can be fired for 3000 million euros or 4000 million euros.Slightly outstanding talented players are now counting up to 3000 million, and 4000 million euros is really nothing.

But Simeone was not disappointed.Because Henry is not a predator like Abramovich and Mansour, Simeone has long been mentally prepared for this.And now Liverpool has many good players, but they all performed poorly in Liverpool and are waiting to be listed for sale.

Just like Robbie Keane, Aquilani, Babel, Insua, Voronin.These players can also raise a lot of money if they are sold.So it works out.Simeone still has enough funds to sign in.According to preliminary calculations, Simeone believes that he should have nearly 8000 million euros in funds for signings this summer.

"Coach Simeone, do you have a goal for next season's signings?"

"Have."

Simeone gave a very positive answer to Comolli's question.Then he looked at Comolli and said: "I want to introduce a few players from Sparta Prague. They are all young. But they already have enough strength. They will become the cornerstone of Liverpool's resurgence."

Simeone doesn't shy away from his thoughts at all.Very sure.He wants to poach people from his old club and bring in his direct troops.Comolli understood what Simeone meant, and the new coach took his own direct line to take office.It is very common in European football.

There are too many benefits to leading one's own lineage.Being able to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar environment, you can use your own direct line players to control the locker room.Of course, because you are familiar with direct-line players, you can plug and play as you go.Even world-class marshals love to bring their own direct line, which is nothing unusual.

"Who?"

"Nevin Subotic, Arturo Vidal, Marco Reus, Robert Lewandowski."

After Simeone finished speaking, Comolli couldn't help taking a breath.Because the players Simeone mentioned are indeed attracting the attention of European football at present, it is of course very good to be able to introduce them to Liverpool.Even now that Liverpool don't even have to play in the Champions League, they are not very attractive to them.After all, the teams that pay attention to them now are basically European giants that can play in the Champions League.If Liverpool want to compete, they may not necessarily be able to compete with other giants.If Simeone can lead them to take office, it will certainly be a very good thing for Liverpool.

But there are also big problems.What kind of club is Sparta Prague? It is the number one black spot in European football, and together with Porto, it has become the "double black in European football".And Sparta Prague is considered darker than Porto.Players from their clubs are worth more and more expensive one by one.

Not to mention Suarez, Thiago Silva and other players worth more than 4000 million euros, others such as Hamsik, Matic, Kompany, Ivanovic, Krarov, who are these people? His worth is less than 2000 million euros.

The introduction of the four people Simeone mentioned, if you add agent commissions, player signing bonuses, etc., it is impossible to get without 4000 million euros.How can Liverpool have so much money now.Even if Henry subsidizes [-] million euros, it is not enough in money.

"Coach Simeone, they are all too expensive. We Liverpool can't afford the transfer fee of four of them."

Now the new boss is here, and Comolli is still retained.Therefore, Comolli is on the side of the new boss, and he must consider the new boss.Although Comolli has not investigated, the transfer fees of these players are definitely not affordable by Liverpool.

Riester also nodded.With Liverpool's financial resources, it is really impossible to introduce so many players.It is impossible for Rist to lower the player's price just because he is doing business with John Henry.After all, this is all dominoes. If Ricci and Liverpool do business and cut prices, how will they do business with other clubs in the future?

Even if Ricester and Liverpool conceal the player's worth, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.Other clubs can still know.Once you know it, it will be difficult to do business in the future.

"If Rist can be persuaded, I don't think there will be a big problem with this transfer. Isn't it. Rister?"

"I?"

Rist looked at Simeone, but did not answer.Because Rist didn't know how to answer, after all, Rist would never agree to a price cut.Simeone said domineeringly: "I heard that Premier League clubs rarely use the form of installment payment. But in La Liga, this is a very common thing."

Simeone didn't finish speaking, but Rist already understood.What Simeone means is that Liverpool's transfer fee is not enough this summer.There is an option to introduce them in the form of installments.

Indeed, compared to the Premier League, La Liga clubs generally adopt the form of installment payment.This is also related to the economic strength of both parties.The Premier League clubs have money, even those small and medium-sized clubs are not short of money, and buying a player worth tens of millions of pounds is not too much of a burden for them.They are very bold in buying players, not to mention transfers of millions or tens of millions.That is, the transfer of tens of millions of euros is directly photographed.

But La Liga is different.La Liga is very poor.In the current La Liga, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​other clubs are basically not rich.All of them are full of debts, and there are very few whose annual income can exceed 5000 million euros.Therefore, they all take the form of installment payment.Even for some small transfers of several million euros, they all pay in installments.This has become a tradition in La Liga.So that Real Madrid and Barcelona sometimes transfer in this way.Not because they have no money.Rather, they are used to it.

Rist looked at John Henry.Look again at Comolli.In fact, for Rist, it doesn't matter.Anyway, no matter how you pay, you need to pay in the end.The money can no longer escape.Even Rist really hopes that Liverpool will be short of money by then.Unable to pay back the money on time.

Many people say that it is the uncle who owes money.But Rist wished that many European football clubs owed him money and could not pay back. At that time, Rist could intervene among these clubs at will, and they would not be able to say anything.

Rist loves clubs that are short on money.Just like Dortmund, it was precisely because of the difficulties that year that they borrowed Rist's money.And Riester took advantage of that opportunity to join the Dortmund youth academy.There is also Southampton in the Premier League. Ricester also took advantage of their club's difficult opportunity to control their youth academy in one fell swoop.If a top giant like Rist owes money, Rister is probably able to wake up with a smile in his dreams.But Rist knew that was unlikely.

"That's one way to go."

Comolli looked at John Henry and nodded, thinking that Simeone's plan was okay.Then he said to Rist, "Can Sparta Prague agree to such a transfer?"

Cuomo asked Rist in an inquiring tone.Because there is no shortage of buyers for Sparta Prague players, and after this season's Champions League performance, there will be many rich and powerful teams who want to introduce Sparta Prague players.Maybe they don't accept such an installment plan.Because in the future, once any problems arise in the middle, it will be a very complicated matter to solve.

It's like when Lazio bought Valencia's Mendieta.At that time, installment payment was adopted, but unfortunately Lazio's economy was not good soon, and finally faced bankruptcy.There will be no subsequent transfer fees.Even if Valencia sues Lazio, it is useless. Lazio has no money but no money.In desperation, Valencia can only use Lazio players to offset the debt. Unfortunately, after those Lazio stars arrived in Spain, they were as unacceptable as Mendieta, and Valencia suffered heavy losses in the end.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Rister nodded.Subotic, Vidal, Royce, Lewandowski, if these people are in Liverpool just after they transfer, this platform will be very large.It just so happens that Liverpool is currently in the process of rebuilding, and the four of them have cooperated for many years, so there is no problem of cooperation.As long as they cooperate with Liverpool's original star Gerrard and the others, then Liverpool's reconstruction process will be easier.

"That's great."

Simeone is happy.In fact, if possible, Simeone really wants to bring all Sparta Prague players to Liverpool.Just like Hulk, Benatia, Lovren, Pastore, he all wants to bring to Liverpool.But this is unrealistic, so he can only find some players suitable for Liverpool.

Liverpool has Gerrard in midfield, so Pastore is unlikely.In addition, Lennon on the right side of Liverpool is Liverpool's main force, so Hulk can only give up.

But even if he can bring four people, Simeone is already very happy.Subotic is a central defender that Simeone likes and is optimistic about very much. He is a central defender who can become the core of the defense.And Vidal can go up and down, and he is very good in offense and defense.As for Royce and Lewandowski, they were brought by Simeone to improve the current Liverpool offense.With the four of them, Simeone has more confidence in Liverpool next season.

More importantly, these few people are very young.Subotic is 21, Vidal is 23, Royce is 21 and Lewandowski is 22 soon.All are a group of talented players.

"Okay. Sparta Prague can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. I believe that under the leadership of Diego, Liverpool can also restore their former glory. I hope that within two seasons, our Liverpool can win the Champions League place."

John Henry has been in the sports world for many years and knows what it means to have more speed than haste.Therefore, his goal for Simeone is very simple, which is to lead Liverpool back to the Champions League within two years. (To be continued..)
