George was very quick to act. The day after he made a private deal with Ferguson, major British media received revelations from unknown people: Tottenham Hotspur intends to bring the current England national team captain David Beckham to White Hart Lane, and has made an official offer to the Manchester United club he plays for!
At the same time, Manchester United officially confirmed the authenticity of the news and announced the specific transfer fee amount of Tottenham's offer for Beckham 40,000 pounds!
Tottenham bid 40,000 pounds to acquire Beckham! The announcement of this news immediately caused a large earthquake in the English football world and even the entire European football world. Xiao
However, with Beckham's reputation and status in the football circle, the possibility of joining Tottenham is not very high no matter how you look at it. After all, although Tottenham has given a high transfer fee and is willing to give Beckham the world's No. 1 salary, Beckham also has to consider whether joining Tottenham will have a negative impact on his own business value. You should know that unlike Real Madrid and Barcelona, the top giants in metropolitan areas, Tottenham, located in London, is a club that does not even have the qualification to compete in the European competition!
In addition, after learning that Tottenham was interested in introducing Beckham and offered a sky-high transfer fee of 40,000 pounds to "heartthrobs", the two Milan heroes who were already trying to take advantage of the situation and mess up the waters were immediately scared and withdrew from the Beckham battle. In their opinion, Beckham's commercial value is far from high enough to pay so much transfer fee for him.
In Barcelona, Laporta, who had just taken office as chairman, also chose to terminate the negotiations without hesitation. However, for the sake of his chairmanship, Laporta, who promised to bring Beckham to the Camp Nou during the campaign, did not announce the news to the outside world at the first time, but still put on the stance of Deputy planning to acquire Beckham!
Obviously, although Tottenham has not a high chance of winning, with its participation, clubs that lack financial resources or are not here will voluntarily choose to withdraw. What remains are those buyers who are both rich and want to win over Beckham.
Just as people were speculating in their minds how Beckham would deal with Tottenham's offensive, George took another move. And this target of Tottenham's poaching was replaced by its arch-rivaled enemy, Arsenal, the second strongest team in the UK!
"Alex, how did I do this time?" George was proudly showing off his recent results on the phone. "David is 40,000 pounds, and Henry and Vieira are raising money. Henry is 60,000 pounds to buy Henry and Vieira. I guess, Arsenal must be having a headache now. Should we agree to my offer in exchange for funds for the construction of the new stadium."
Logically speaking, Tottenham, the arch-rival in the city, came to poach its own pillars, and Arsenal should immediately refuse to show that their attitude is. However, when Tottenham really proposed this transfer deal to Arsenal, Wenger and Arsenal executives did not object to the matter at the first time, but did not give any response very subtly.
This situation is mainly because Arsenal has begun to build their new stadium, which is expected to cost up to 390,000 pounds, which has put the Gunners in a very heavy financial burden. Therefore, when Tottenham proposed to buy Henry and Vieira for 60,000 pounds, Wenger, who was worried about how to pay off the debt as soon as possible, was a little moved.
After all, in Wenger's eyes, no player is irreplaceable, even if the target is Vieira, who is the captain of the team, and Henry, who can score goals and assist double-double data, is the only question lies in whether the professor can find a suitable replacement. If possible, even players of Vieira and Henry will be taken out by Wenger for money.
Of course, there are many reasons why Wenger did not agree to the Tottenham quotation immediately. The most important one is that if he sells his backbone to Tottenham, which has been Arsenal's 100-year rival, it will definitely cause strong dissatisfaction among Arsenal fans. From Campbell's free transfer to Arsenal that year, not only Tottenham fans hated him to the core, but even Arsenal fans still don't like him very much.
What's more, selling Vieira and Henry will have a huge negative impact on the Gunners' reputation and attractiveness. No one believes that the Yi family dares to sell the core of the team and does not have a big club in the transfer market, and there is a possibility of becoming a top giant.
Therefore, under the combined effect of these two factors, Wenger and Arsenal's senior executives were very confused. They wanted to take this opportunity to kill George and exchange for shortage of funds for Arsenal; on the other hand, they did not want to bear the negative impact of the sale of core players on Tottenham.
However, what Arsenal executives and Wenger did not expect was that their hesitant attitude caused dissatisfaction among Henry, Vieira and others. We have made so many contributions to Arsenal. It would be fine if you don’t mention the increase in salary. Now that Tottenham has quoted a high price, you are hesitant. In your eyes, can we just sell goods at a good price?
"Haha, that's right. George, you kid can always bring me extra surprises." Ferguson was also extremely happy at this time when he imagined his old opponent Wenger's frowning look. "Not responding to your offer immediately is Wenger's biggest failure. I can already imagine that Henry and Vieira will definitely be dissatisfied with Wenger and the club, and have the idea of leaving Arsenal."
"By the way, Alex, how is David's situation? Do I need to add more fire to Real Madrid to raise prices?" George was quite concerned about what he promised others. "Also, if Beckham really chose to join Tottenham in the end, would you agree to me doing a fake role?"
Although Victoria and Simon Fowler were very dissatisfied with Tottenham's sudden intervention, Beckham himself understood this and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Tottenham's price increase. After all, in Beckham's opinion, the amount of his transfer this time can also reflect the degree of importance Real Madrid attaches to him. If Real Madrid is unwilling to pay more transfer fees for him, why should Beckham believe Florentino's so-called sincerity?
What's more, Beckham has a lot of affection for Tottenham and George. Before he was 3 years old, Beckham received football training at the Tottenham youth training camp and chose to leave at the invitation of Manchester United. His impression of Tottenham will naturally not be bad. At the same time, George's existence also made Beckham have a certain interest in joining Tottenham. After all, he just won the English championship under George, and they are well aware of each other and have a good relationship. Therefore, Tottenham was also included in the scope of consideration by Beckham, although it was just his choice among all his options, which was the last choice.
"No need, now it's not as good as two years ago. The price of 40,000 euros is already a very rare high price at this time. If you raise the price again, I'm worried that Real Madrid will directly withdraw from the transfer negotiations." Hearing George say this, Ferguson quickly made a statement to stop the other party's idea of continuing to raise prices. "As for the fake scenes, I admit that David is indeed that interesting, but with the woman Victoria, I think you should not hold too much hope."
"That's right." George nodded in agreement with Ferguson's opinion. Although he appreciated Victoria Yixin's efforts to make her husband's career development, this does not mean that he will like this woman who makes Beckham unable to concentrate on her football career: "Then, it depends on your ability next. It's better to let Real Madrid give you more blood. Anyway, they can't pursue profits. It's a waste not to spend so much money on us."
After saying that, George said goodbye to Ferguson and hung up the phone. After the promise to Ferguson was completed and the possibility of Bailey Baek joining Tottenham was slim, George no longer paid attention to the negotiations between Manchester United and Real Madrid, and continued to supervise the team's current recruitment progress.
Let’s look at Ferguson. With Tottenham’s transfer offer of 40,000 pounds, comparable to Zidane’s world’s most valuable value, Manchester United has become much harder in the following negotiations. If they dare to ask Real Madrid to increase Beckham’s transfer fee without raising the price, we will sell Beckham to Tottenham, which is nearly twice as much as you!
Faced with such a situation, Florentino, who knew that this time, would definitely be slaughtered by Manchester United, had to accept his fate and obediently increased the transfer fee to 40,000 euros in the following negotiations!
Although this number is quite different from Tottenham's transfer offer of £40,000,000, Real Madrid's reputation is far from comparable to Tottenham's current Hotspur, and £40,000 can also be considered a sky-high price in O3 years, so Ferguson did not insist that Real Madrid must maintain the same bid as Tottenham, and only intends to gain more benefits from Lafayette on this basis.
So, after a bargaining, Manchester United agreed to Real Madrid's plan to introduce David Beckham with a transfer fee of 4.50,000 euros, which made the transfer that attracted the attention of the world finally come to an end on the day when the summer transfer window opened!
With just quotation, Tottenham Hotspur, which spent tens of millions of euros more than expected in Beckham's transfer, became famous. In addition, the moves of acquiring Carrick, Drogba, Cech, and Cristiano Ronaldo before using transfer fees that were much higher than the normal market price, have already begun to secretly call Tottenham a "price-raising spike".
