In fact, some wealthy clubs will spend money. Ji Ya has thought of it a long time ago, so he started talking to the players about contract renewal very early, especially those main players who do not have high income but perform well. They should renew their contracts.
of.
Goalkeeper Navas, center backs Lovren and Font, midfielder Dembele, forward Giroud.
These are the key targets for contract renewal.
They joined Southampton when Southampton was in the lower leagues. Lovren, Font and Giroud joined when they were in League One, and the other two joined when they were in the Championship.
So the salary they received was not low at the time, but it seems to be relatively low now. Even if the salary was increased after upgrading, it still looks a bit low now.
Navas and Font renewed their contracts very happily. The renewal of their contracts made Ji Ya feel more at ease. After all, it is not easy to fill such a position with a goalkeeper and a captain.
The old captain Davis originally planned to retire this season, after all, he is already 36 years old, but after Jiya's advice, he decided to renew his contract for another year, just in case.
However, the attitudes of the other three people were a bit ambiguous.
Lovren, Dembele, Giroud.
They are not too young either.
Lovren is 23 years old this year, Dembélé is 25 years old, and Giroud is the oldest, also 26 years old. They are all at the right age and have performed outstandingly in the past few seasons.
, whether in the Premier League or in European competitions.
This kind of performance is very convincing, and there will usually be no problems if you buy such a player.
But again, their performance is not particularly outstanding, so even if other teams want to buy them, they won't pay too much transfer fee.
But they can give higher wages.
Southampton's performance this season and the teams that can recruit them are all wealthy teams.
It was Liverpool who took a fancy to Lovren.
It's Tottenham who are interested in Dembélé.
Arsenal is the one who likes Giroud.
They are all strong teams and have sufficient financial resources.
Liverpool's offer for Lovren is 10 million pounds, Tottenham's offer for Dembele is 12 million pounds, and Arsenal's offer for Giroud is 12 million pounds.
"Reject them all, and then let them out through the broker. It is impossible to take away our main force at such a price." Ji Ya said to Frye.
"What's our bottom line?" Frye asked.
"Thirty million pounds each." Ji Ya replied.
Fry was startled.
"Is it too high?" Frye asked hesitantly.
"Never mind them, just bargain, of course you have to leave room... Lovren will have to sell for at least 15 million pounds. It can't be lower than this price, and Dembele and Giroud can't be lower than 20 million pounds."
Sterling, they are all in excellent condition, and they are playing at the right age, so what if the price is low at this time." Ji Ya replied.
Frye nodded, this makes sense. After all, Southampton cannot not sell players, nor can it keep players at a very high price.
However, all three of their contracts still have at least two to three years left, which can also give Southampton more confidence.
At the same time, playing in the Champions League next season is also a huge confidence. When we play in the Champions League, our income will naturally not be low. Under such circumstances, if you pay less, we will definitely not sell our main players.
If you play well and advance to the knockout stages, won't your income be higher than the transfer fee you gave me?
Even if the players want to leave Southampton, they cannot easily say this.
After all, their contract is still very long.
But at this time, Noriya has to prepare for a rainy day - Dembele's departure is actually not a big problem. Matuidi performed very well last season. Dembele plays a lubricant role in the midfield, and Vidal is in this position.
It is completely possible to play. If Vidal retreats a little, Mkhitaryan will get a chance to play.
In addition, Schneiderlin and Drinkwater also need space to play, so it won't be a big problem for Southampton to play a main force.
On the other hand, the positions of center back and center must be filled.
Kovac can only serve as a substitute. Chambers and Jenkinson are both still young and can serve as a substitute, but they are still lacking in being the main force.
Fortunately, the most important thing in Southampton's defense is actually the most inconspicuous Wundt. He is an organizational central defender and full of fighting spirit. Under such circumstances, he only needs to perform well to lead a team.
If the central defender performs well, it will be easier.
The departure of center Giroud is also a loss. This season, he appears to be a substitute. In fact, he has played more games and scored more goals than Klose. Klose is older, and his appearances will only become more and more popular in the future.
Under such circumstances, adding a forward who can play the main role is also something that must be done.
"It's okay to have three main players, and it's not difficult to supplement them."
Ji Ya silently thought in his heart, for a team, large-scale substitutions will definitely have a huge impact, but the rotation of a few main players can allow the team to get fresh blood.
Moreover, Southampton's really important people have not left, which makes Ji Ya very happy. It is difficult to find a goalkeeper like Navas. It is difficult for any club to find a good goalkeeper now, but he is a bit less commercial. After all,
Costa Rica is a small country, but Jiye doesn't care too much about this aspect. He still pays more attention to the competitive aspect.
And Feng Te's stay also makes Ji Ya very happy. In the Premier League, there are a lot of central defenders with excellent confrontation ability and good physical fitness. It is hard to find good central defenders who can organize. He can recruit Feng in the English League.
Special, my luck has been extremely good.
Although he is not young, he is in good condition. At the same time, perhaps because he was too wandering before, he seems very happy to be stable in Southampton now.
In terms of midfield, Southampton's core midfielder has gradually turned to Vidal. The Chilean is now considered to be both offensive and defensive, and can play a great role in the midfield, and he is obviously also an ambitious player.
, I know that it is not appropriate to change positions every year. It will take at least two or three years. It is better to go to a wealthy club after you have established your worth.
Therefore, Vidal also took the initiative to renew his contract with the club for one year and expressed his attitude.
The most important person on the forward line now is actually William. The Brazilian's breakthroughs and passes on the wing can drive the entire team's offense. In the absence of a main scorer, William's role is very important.
Of course, when preparing for a rainy day, Ji Ya also needs to prepare some back-ups.
Wundt is not young and may not want to leave, but will William and Vidal, who are just fighting, live in Southampton forever? It is impossible to think about it...
Therefore, in the midfield, Ji Ya plans to let Mkhitaryan return to the main lineup. After adapting last season, Mkhitaryan has performed very well. It is unreasonable not to play the main force again. His breakthrough and shooting ability can
Add new elements to Southampton's midfield, and at the same time, find a forward who can bring a lot of goals. Otherwise, if William wants to leave, Southampton will not be able to find anyone to score goals.
