Half a month after they said that Fabregas would have to be released for 70 million, they announced that they had reached an agreement with FC Barcelona on the transfer of Fabregas to Barcelona.
In the end, Barcelona paid 30 million euros to take away their captain Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal.
In addition, there is a floating transfer fee of 6 million euros. If Barcelona wins the league championship, they will have to give Arsenal another 6 million euros.
For only 436 million euros, Barcelona took away Arsenal’s captain.
Compared with the previous 70 million, it is less than half
Such a price surprises many people
Especially Arsenal fans
they are angry
Your team has lost a captain and a core member, and they haven't made much money yet. Do you think they will lose money?
In this time and space, Fabregas's departure from Arsenal was moved forward by a year. Chang Sheng was no longer surprised because he knew that this was the change he had brought to this world after traveling through time.
If Cazorla hadn't performed so well this season, perhaps Arsenal wouldn't have decided to sell Fabregas.
Because they can use this money to buy Cazorla from Lazio
And they also have to buy other things, they can only buy Cazorla
The only midfielder in Europe who can satisfy Professor Wenger and at the same time alleviate the resentment of Arsenal fans about Cesc Fabregas leaving is Cazorla.
Just winning often is not Wenger, Lazio is not Arsenal either
Lazio is a real black shop!
※※※
Before Arsenal and Barcelona officially announced the transfer of Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal had already contacted Lazio privately.
At that time, Cesc Fabregas' transfer should have been imminent and had to be made.
Therefore, they must find a replacement for Fabregas as soon as possible, and it must be a player with enough weight and ability.
It's impossible for them to get Modric, Cazorla is the best choice
When Chang Sheng received the price inquiry from Arsenal, he directly responded with an astonishing figure!
Seventy million!
The club staff responsible for sending the fax were so scared that they peed.
Chang Sheng told him that he did not write the wrong number and asked him to say this
Of course, Chang Sheng doesn't really want to sell Cazorla for 70 million. Of course, if Arsenal is crazy and really uses their 70 million to trade Chang Sheng will agree to this with lightning speed.
of transfer transactions
It's just that this kind of thing can never happen
So Chang Sheng's return of 70 million is just a joke to Arsenal.
Didn’t you say you have 70 million?
Take it out and let me see it!
He is not worried that this offer will scare away Arsenal.
After Arsenal sold Fabregas, they had to find a player to replace Fabregas. Cazorla is the most suitable player. He is the main player in the Triple Crown and also scored twice in the Champions League final.
Helped Lazio defeat Bayern Munich 4:0 and win the Champions League title
He was the best player in the finals
Whether in terms of strength or reputation, Cazorla is the best choice.
Arsenal are very determined to get him
How could it be possible to be scared away by a mere 70 million?
※※※
Sure enough, Chang Sheng received a call from Wenger soon after.
Yes, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger called Chang Sheng directly.
They bypassed the club and communicated directly
This shows how much Arsenal want Cazorla
At the same time, it is also because in Lazio, the person who has the final say is Chang Sheng. If it was a traditional Italian team, Wenger would not be able to call Chang Sheng, because the call would be in vain, and the head coach has no right to decide on transfers.
"Chang, let's not beat around the bush. I can tell you that Arsenal wants to get Cazorla. I just need you to pay a real price of 70 million. Don't talk about it..."
Wenger spoke to Chang Sheng in English on the phone
Chang Sheng laughed: "Of course you need Cazorla, Mr. Wenger, but we will not sell Cazorla."
"No kidding, we all know Cazorla will leave Lazio"
"No, he won't"
"No, he will"
"Are you so sure, Mr. Wenger?"
"Yes, everyone knows that Cazorla hopes to become the core, but in Lazio he not only can't compete with Modric, he can't even compete with Ledesma, and you have players like Hernanes in Lazio.
If he wants to give the Brazilian genius more playing opportunities, it means that Cazorla's number of appearances will be further reduced... For the best player who scored twice in the Champions League final, he has to accept this.
It’s really difficult, so instead of keeping him and creating conflicts in the locker room, why not sell him for money? What do you think of this proposal, Chang?”
"I think this proposal is good." Chang Sheng seemed to have changed his face and immediately agreed to the proposal to sell Cazorla, but he immediately put forward his own opinions
"Forty million euros, not a penny less, we will not accept installment payments, nor will we accept cash from other players."
"Forty million!" Wenger sounded surprised on the phone. "Fabregas is not worth that much either!"
At this time, the whole world is buzzing with the news that Cesc Fabregas will sign with Barcelona. Basically, it is a certainty, but it was finally officially announced.
It's just that the transfer fee hasn't been revealed yet. There are many rumors, but they are not high.
Chang Sheng shrugged: "That's your problem. The core of your tactics, the captain, is sold so cheaply. If I were you, I would make Barcelona pay 80 million euros!"
"Uh... let's not talk about Cesc... let's continue talking about Cazorla. Forty million is too expensive and we can't accept it."
"The best player in the Champions League final, an all-around midfielder and frontcourt player who scored twice in the final is not worth 40 million euros. Are you kidding me, Mr. Arsene Wenger?"
"We can provide 38 million euros..."
After being silent for a long time, Wenger quoted such a price.
"Damn it! Are you only two million short?"
Chang Sheng was speechless. The difference between 40 million and 38 million was only 2 million. Is there a big difference?
In the end, even though the coaches from both sides spoke directly, they still couldn't agree on a price.
Victory wanted 40 million, but Wenger said they could only offer 38 million
We didn't reach an agreement, so we didn't blow it off directly. We hung up the arc and continued to talk through the club level.
As long as Arsenal really want it, they will always have to pay.
※※※
As for the reasons Wenger mentioned that Cazorla must leave... Chang Sheng has to say that he is right.
In fact, Cazorla had vaguely revealed his dissatisfaction with his current position before the season was over.
He hopes to have an accurate positioning
Is he the main player, a substitute, a rotation, or the core?
Is he a midfielder or a winger?
These issues must be clarified
Although he plays the main role this season, he starts more games than when he comes on the bench.
But the position is still unstable
He hopes to take more responsibilities in the game, but the reality is that David Silva and Gotze are both more dazzling than him.
As time goes by, you will naturally become dissatisfied
Even if Chang Sheng gave him such an opportunity, he would still want to leave Lazio and go out to explore.
He feels that what he learned at Lazio is enough for him to get a good position and treatment in other teams.
For this reason, he had this idea
Of course, it's just a thought. I haven't decided whether I'm really determined to leave.
Chang Sheng has not yet considered whether he really wants to let him go.
So Cazorla was placed on the list of "if the price is particularly good, you can leave"
If there is no suitable offer, he would rather let Cazorla stay. Anyway, Cazorla is still useful. At worst, if you give him more opportunities and appease him, nothing will happen.
Forty million is the price he thinks is appropriate.
With Cazorla's position as a player who is not indispensable, it is already considered a great achievement to be able to sell 40 million for a winning game.
You must know that many core players may not be able to sell them for this price.
Just this price can scare away many teams interested in Cazorla.
Chang Sheng doesn’t care
It was originally an act of eliminating the bad and retaining the good.
Those poor teams that have no money should leave as soon as possible, and those insincere teams that are reluctant to pay should also leave quickly.
In this way, the remaining teams must be teams that have paid more and are sincere.
And Chang Sheng is not worried that it will not be sold in the end.
If he can't sell it, he just uses it. He doesn't care at all whether he can sell it or not.
This kind of mentality makes him particularly relaxed
※※※
The two sides were entangled back and forth like this.
Price changes are small
Until news suddenly spread in the media that Chelsea was also interested in Cazorla.
Arsenal panicked a little now
I originally thought they were the only family, but I didn’t expect there was an additional competitor...
Chelsea appeared well prepared at this time. Forty million is not a big deal for a rich man like Abramovich.
What if they really want to fight for love...
Didn't Arsenal lose his wife and lose his troops in the end?
So they sped up the negotiations
I hope we can negotiate Cazorla’s transfer before Chelsea do.
But damn Lazio is still holding on to the 40 million transfer fee.
When would Wenger, who is used to living a hard life, buy someone for 40 million!
Prior to this, Wenger's Arsenal's highest signing deal was the introduction of Arshavin from Zenit St. Petersburg for 16 million euros!
Sixteen million is the maximum signing, which shows how frugal Arsenal was under Wenger.
Now he has to spend 40 million to buy someone...
For Wenger, that is simply something from another dimension! (To be continued...)
ps: I also wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
