"Twenty million?"
When Wenger heard the news from Pat Rice at the London Colney training base, he stood up.
"Why didn't he rob a bank?"
Pat Rice stood aside awkwardly, dumbfounded.
How can it be so profitable to rob a bank? The risks are still so high...
In fact, he understands Wenger's current mood best, anxious!
Why the rush?
In recent years, in order to prepare for the construction of a new stadium, Wenger has tried every possible means to save money, with the goal of retaining the top four in the league.
For Arsenal, the pressure is actually not bad. After all, they are the Big 4 in the Premier League.
But the situation is constantly changing.
Last season, Arsenal and Liverpool had the same points, but due to a disadvantage in goal difference, Liverpool ranked third, Arsenal ranked fourth, followed by Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.
This summer, Benitez got real.
The Red Army reached the Champions League finals twice in three years, won a Champions League, and made a lot of money. Therefore, Benitez also invested heavily in the transfer market, such as introducing Torres from Atletico Madrid, and acquiring Torres from Ajax.
The introduction of Babel and the introduction of Lucas Leiva from Brazil are all aimed at strengthening the overall strength of the team.
Everton is also not idle. It has brought in Graveson from Real Madrid, Jakub from Middlesbrough, and players such as Leighton Baines and Jagielka, spending more than 2,000 yuan.
Ten thousand pounds of transfer investment.
This is a huge amount of money for a team like Everton.
Tottenham Hotspur invested even more. Darren Bent, Kaboul, Boateng and Gareth Bale, this North London rival invested 30 million pounds in the transfer market.
It's amazing.
On the other hand, Arsenal sent away Henry, Reyes and Ljungberg, and the entire frontcourt's offensive power was greatly affected. Although they introduced Sagna, Da Silva and Fabianski, their overall strength has obviously declined.
Quite a few.
Especially the offensive firepower in the frontcourt.
In this case, it is impossible for Wenger to say that there is no pressure.
If they are not careful and fall out of the top four in the league, Arsenal's situation will be even more serious.
Losing this piece of income from the Champions League is an extremely painful loss for the Gunners.
Under such circumstances, how could Wenger not be anxious?
…
"Naples shouted out 20 million euros and made it clear that they wanted us to counter-offer. It depends on whether we want it or not," Pat Rice analyzed.
"What do the players say?"
"The agent said that Gervinho had called Gao Shen, but Gao Shen did not express his position. In addition, the player emphasized that he did not want to fall out with Gao Shen."
When Wenger heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Pat Rice, who nodded heavily in affirmation.
"I didn't realize it, but this kid is really good at winning over people." Wenger said calmly.
If there are players who cooperate with the pressure, it will be more convenient for Arsenal to poach players, but now that the players have made their position clear, the Gunners can only talk to Naples.
"This should be the reason why Naples is so confident."
To put it bluntly, Napoli doesn't actually want to sell.
If Arsenal were scared off by this offer, that would be fine. Naples told Gervinho confidently that it was not that we didn't want to sell it, but that Arsenal didn't want to buy it.
In fact, to a certain extent, Naples' raising prices may not be beneficial to the players.
The higher the value, the more the club values it, which will be more important for the player's locker room status after joining.

"What now?" Pat Rice asked concerned.
Napoli has already kicked the ball over, it depends on whether Arsenal wants to buy it.
Wenger shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not answer, but asked: "Can Gervinho really be comparable to Malouda?"
"The talent is indeed higher, the speed is faster, and the footwork is better, but he is still too young and needs further growth." Pat Rice replied.
Higher talent, faster speed, finer footwork, and youth, this proves that Gervinho's potential is indeed very high, but at this stage, it is still not as good as Malouda.
But for a twenty-year-old young player, these are enough.
A 20-year-old player whose strength is comparable to Malouda is not worth this price.
"I'll give Gao Shen a call." Wenger gritted his teeth.
Pat Rice was stunned, "You... have his phone number?"
Wenger was also stunned and explained: "Last time, I forgot when, I accidentally added him on the phone."
Pat Rice said oh, is it really an accident?
I have to say that Gao Shen has been really popular over the past year or so.
When he is in Serie B, he dares to shout that he wants to win the Serie A championship. If he really wins the Serie A championship this season, it will be interesting for Italian football.
By then, can Italy still retain its title as a tactical kingdom?
Judging from the situation, there is almost one-sided criticism of Gao Shen, but in fact, behind the scenes, countless people are eagerly waiting to watch the excitement. If Gao Shen can really win the Serie A championship in the new season, that will be the most interesting
matter.
However, it seems difficult now!
too difficult!
The league hasn't even started yet, and the star player has been poached, so how can we still play?
…
Gao Shen was very surprised when he suddenly received a call from Wenger.
He really couldn't remember when he called Wenger?
Where did the old professor get his phone number?
But how do you ask this?
I can only pretend that I have given it.
After the conversation got down to business, Wenger directly explained his intention: he wanted to introduce Gervinho.
Gao Shen almost cried on the spot and told Wenger, is this Gervinho?
No, this is costing his life and his future!
I'm busy preparing to compete in Serie A, but you're poaching me?
Professor, are you rich... Uh, no, are you interested?
Wenger was also embarrassed when he listened to the call. For the first time, he realized that he felt guilty for poaching players.
Why do you feel that this is not a business, but that you are bullying the small and relying on the old?
Gao Shen also accepted it and "calmed down" his mood, then told Wenger that this matter was really not his business, but that De Laurentiis was responsible for it.
"You also know that our boss is very fierce. He is like a society. He has already said that whoever dares to come to Naples to poach his players will be killed by the mafia."
Wenger smiled bitterly, who are you trying to scare?
"Of course, these are also angry words, but to be honest, no one dares to tell him about the transfer." Gao Shen came back again.
"Twenty million euros, this is impossible, Gervinho is not worth this price now." Wenger replied.
Gao Shen was also cheerful, "Our boss also said, at this price, if you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't want to... haha..."
Wenger finally understood. Naples had the same idea and was waiting for him over there.
Yes, it depends on whether you want to buy it or not!
"Gao, Mingren won't tell secrets, just tell me directly, how much do you want?"
"I don't care. If I could make the decision, I could sell you 10 million euros." Gao Shen looked very generous.
Unfortunately, Naples is not his.
Wenger was angry and cursed secretly: Are you talking nonsense?
"Come on!" Wenger said a little impatiently.
"In this way, if you really want it, I will help you talk to our boss. I will try my best to talk about 15 million euros, but I have said it first, and it may not be possible. You also know our boss's bad temper.
."
General Manager Marino was shut down just yesterday and was scolded bloody. How cruel!
Wenger smiled bitterly and wanted to ask: According to what you said, the matter has not been settled yet, but I owe you a favor first?
"Okay, just 15 million euros!" Wenger gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and refused to bargain.
He was worried that if he made a counter-offer, the deal might be blown.
It’s not that Naples doesn’t want to sell it, it’s that he doesn’t dare to buy it!
…
"Fifteen million euros?"
Marino was surprised when he received a call from Gao Shen.
Are you sure you are serious?
Gao Shen clicked his tongue and said, "Pieter Paolo, calm down, you are now the general manager of a team that aims to hit Serie A."
What he said... I could feel it even through the phone. Marino on the opposite side seemed to raise his head even more.
But I don’t know why, when I think of him being as timid as a kitten in front of De Laurentiis, Gao Shen can’t connect him with a man.
Speaking of which, it's all because De Lao is too strong and too irritable!
"Arsenal will arrange for someone to contact you soon. You should contact Villarreal now, otherwise it will be too late."
Gao Shen warned seriously.
Once in and out, this is very important. Don't be like this. If you sell people here but can't bring them in there, this is a big joke.
"Also, when Arsenal gives money, remember to remind the German guy that I have to transfer my 20%." Gao Shen reminded.
When Marino heard this, he immediately started complaining.
Why was he scolded?
Isn’t it because of the 20% share clause?
Are you still letting him go now?
He was scolded like this even before the money was divided, but now that it was really going to be divided, the German guy couldn't kill him with a knife?
"You should tell him yourself." Marino quickly pushed it away.
"You are the general manager, of course I'm looking for you. Why should I look for him?" Gao Shen said confidently.
From a process perspective, Gao Shen is right.
Marino almost cried.
This general manager of mine is too cowardly!
The benefits belong to both of you. How to divide it is up to you to negotiate, can't you?
"Tsk, Pierpaolo, you must remember what I told you before. Although we are workers, we are workers with dignity. Facing the boss's unreasonable demands, we must fight back forcefully and forcefully.
We need to know how to manage upwards reasonably, otherwise, the boss will only take advantage of it, and we will be the ones who suffer in the end!"
Marino felt that what Gao Shen said made sense.
"But... every time I see him, especially that ferocious face, I can't help but be... afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Gao Shen asked with a bit of hatred, "In this case, don't look at him deliberately, imagine that he is your wife, and train him how you train your wife at home."
Hearing Marino hesitate for a long time without replying, Gao Shen couldn't help but ask again: "What's the matter?"
"Actually...in my house, my wife is the one who trains me. How can I dare to train her?" Marino muttered softly.
Gao Shen was confused.
Damn, I was scolded by my boss at work, and scolded by my wife at home...
