"Didn't I announce that the transfer market is closed, and we won't buy or sell anyone next? And our pre-season training is about to begin." Noriya said to Frye in surprise.
"We have expressed this attitude to Barcelona, but they still insist on buying Suarez." Frye was a little helpless.
Ji Ya was speechless. After the transfer market was announced to be over, he began to renew his contract with the main players. For example, De Bruyne's salary doubled. Originally, his annual salary was only 100,000 pounds, but now it has been directly increased to 20.
million pounds, reaching the level of a strong team. In addition to him, important players such as Suarez, Lukaku and Casemiro have also renewed their contracts, reaching the level expected of a top team.
This is Noriya's decision. Of course he knows that it is good to save wages. However, he also knows that it is important to sell some people to save the salary balance, but it is even more important to keep the wages of key players at a relatively high level.
is important, so if the main players are not sold after the season, they will immediately renew their contracts to improve their treatment and allow them to perform better in the following time.
This can be seen from the level of their salary expenditure. When they first entered the Premier League, their annual salary expenditure totaled only more than 50 million pounds. By the second year, it had increased to more than 60 million pounds. Last year it was 7,000 pounds.
More than 10,000, and this year it has increased to 100 million.
Of course, this kind of improvement has a lot to do with the increase in broadcast fee income and Ji Ya's greater confidence. The practice of cleaning up some players and then adding some main players also played a role in this.
Southampton's total salary is now 107 million pounds after tax, which ranks sixth in the Premier League. The first place is Manchester City, whose after-tax salary is as high as 233 million pounds. Of course, there is no
Who can compare with this kind of wealthy people? Manchester United is ranked second with 181 million, Chelsea is 179 million, Arsenal is 154 million, and Liverpool is 13,000.
One million, Southampton ranked sixth, and lower than them was Tottenham, with 98 million, less than 100 million.
Southampton's wage expenditure is certainly worth it compared to their results, but that is also because the main players are always being eliminated, and the wages of newcomers will always be lower. Some main players get more, and others are also convinced -
-After all, Suarez, De Bruyne, 200,000, 200,000, and Lukaku, the top three players in the club, have a weekly salary of 250,000. This is quite convincing.
Only such a contract extension can give Southampton more confidence when facing poaching.
You want to give me the price that makes me happy, otherwise I will keep it for myself, right? I don’t have to earn your transfer fee...
Only by having a high profile can you make more money.
Moreover, Noriya has always made it clear that if the transfer market is closed, then there will be no more buying or selling, no matter how much money is paid.
As a result, Barcelona still made an offer for Suarez, which made Kiya a little unhappy.
"Rejecting their offer means that Suarez is not for sale to us," Noriya told Frye.
"This is 60 million pounds..." Frye was a little surprised.
"I said the transfer market is closed. Why didn't Barcelona contact us earlier if they wanted to buy? Now our training camp is about to start, and they came to make an offer. I don't want my results in the new season, and I want to take one step forward in the Champions League.
It’s just a profit of 20 million pounds. If I affected the team’s performance for this little money, I would be stupid.” Ji Ya said with a sneer.
Frye nodded, this really makes sense. Even if Barcelona is willing to pay, where can Ji Ya find a center at this time? It is not impossible to strengthen Vardy, but in this way, the overall strength of the striker will be very weak.
Well, compared with Southampton's results throughout the season, this amount of income is really nothing.
Frye quickly rejected Barcelona's offer, and then re-examined whether Suarez was not for sale, and our transfer window for this season has also closed. If you want to buy, do it as early as next year.
Even if Suarez doesn't resume playing until the end of October, we won't sell him now.
Frye felt that what he said was very clear, but just one day later, Barcelona sent a second offer.
"Sixty-five million pounds? That's it? I thought they were going to offer a sky-high price, such as 100 million pounds, so I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet and agreed. At worst, I would find a way to find another forward with potential.
But 65 million...just kidding." Ji Ya couldn't help laughing.
Frye also shook his head helplessly, and then prepared to reject Barcelona.
However, what neither he nor Noriya expected was that at the same time that Barcelona made an offer, World Sports and Daily Sports began to discuss the news of Suarez joining Barcelona...
Titles such as "Enrique likes Suarez very much and hopes he can become the last link of Barcelona's trident", "Messi hopes to play with Suarez, plus Neymar, the strongest South American striker",
It began to appear in large numbers on these two media.
Many tabloids even claimed that Southampton and Barcelona had reached an agreement to sell Suarez to Barcelona. Barcelona was willing to bear the risk of not being able to use Suarez for the next three months and to introduce Suarez at a high price.
Some media said that Suarez was so moved that he just signed the contract.
"Luis, our new season is about to start, and we are definitely not willing to sell you at this time, so I hope to hear your opinion." Ji Ya immediately called Suarez.
Suarez was listening on the other end of the phone. In fact, Suarez was willing to answer the phone, and Ji Ya knew it.
If Suarez really wants to leave, then asking his agent to answer the phone is the best option.
"To be honest, I don't want to leave Southampton, but Barcelona is still very attractive. Playing with Messi... is too tempting for us South American players." Suarez is very honest.
explain.
"Then stay for another year, perform better at Southampton, and go to Barcelona as a savior. What's wrong? The World Cup has just passed. Are you worried about World Cup syndrome? Choose to join a team at this time.
A new team is not a good choice." Ji Ya said with a smile.
Suarez nodded thoughtfully. Ji Ya's words were quite reliable. He also knew that after last season's crazy performance, his performance this season would probably be a little worse. It just depends on the club's confidence.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ya sneered.
Barcelona's approach is obviously to forcefully poach Suarez, but now that they have reached an agreement with Suarez, they will definitely succeed in this battle to defend Suarez!
