ps: Counting the two guaranteed updates, this is today’s seventh update!
I'll try to write another chapter before going to bed at night!
Fight!
In the next eight days, I will try to maintain this rhythm and even provide more updates!
After finalizing the transfer of Meireles, Lazio and Sao Paulo also achieved a breakthrough in tension over the transfer of Hernanes.
Hernanes directly told the Sao Paulo club that he wanted to leave Sao Paulo and play for Lazio.
A player's direct statement is a big killer in transfers.
Generally speaking, unless the two sides are at odds, the club will choose to respect the players' opinions.
And even if they break up, it's usually the club that gives in in the end.
So when the Sao Paulo club saw that the player himself was so determined, they had no choice but to give in.
Lazio and Sao Paulo clubs then reached an agreement on the transfer of Hernanes for 10 million euros, and Hernanes transferred from Sao Paulo to Lazio.
However, only 7 million of these 10 million euros must be paid to Sao Paulo at the end of this year. The remaining 3 million euros are to be repaid in installments within two years, and only 1.5 million euros need to be paid each year.
It can be said to be very cost-effective.
Chang Sheng resolutely did not allow the other party to fool him by offering to pay in installments when he was selling a person. But when he bought a person from someone else, he insisted on paying in installments.
The transfer deal involving Meireles with Porto is also paid in installments, with 10 million paid in three years, with an initial payment of 4 million in the first year and 3 million in each subsequent year.
It can be said that stinginess has been taken to the extreme.
※※※
When the reporting date for the new season has not yet arrived, Lazio has already finalized two transfer transactions for this season.
Meireles and Hernanes both passed the medical examination and became Lazio players.
Lazio this summer made the media say they couldn't understand it.
Before, they all thought that many Lazio players were attracted by those wealthy clubs. Not only did they leave, but how many players still had to leave, right?
So no bookmakers have even offered odds on these players leaving Lazio.
What's the result?
No one has left until now!
Not a single person left, but two people came!
Moreover, the transfer investment of 20 million euros is a record-breaking expenditure for Lotito’s Lazio!
This is the most expensive summer since Lotito, the stingy president, took over Lazio!
In Lotito's first summer as Lazio club president, he introduced 13 players in one go, but on average each player did not even spend 100,000 euros.
Then in the second season, the winning streak came, and Chairman Stingy met the stingy head coach.
Of course, this season, because Lazio is in a state of major renewal, they have invested a little more. It has reached 16.4 million euros. But this 16.4 million euros was exchanged for 11 people.
Moreover, this is the most expensive signing Chang Sheng has spent on signings in a single season since he became the head coach of Lazio.
Moreover, in terms of transfer income, Lazio has 18 million. The income exceeds the expenditure, and Lazio still makes a profit.
In the following seasons of 2006 and 2007, Lazio spent 13.45 million euros on transfer expenses and earned 30.3 million euros, which was still a profit, more than last season.
In the 2007-2008 season, the expenditure was only 3.5 million, but the income was 38 million.
Last season, it was even more exaggerated. The expenditure was even less, only 1.4 million!
The income is as high as 170 million!
Lazio has always been a profitable side in the transfer market. It is a surplus.
There has never been a deficit...
But this season it showed up!
Lazio only bought two people in the transfer market, spending 20 million euros. Whether it is a single transaction or a total amount, this is their largest transfer expenditure in many years.
And how much do they earn in the transfer market?
zero!
Didn't make a penny!
Because Lazio really hasn’t sold anyone yet!
No matter how many rumors there are in the media about Lazio players leaving, the fact is that none of the protagonists of these rumors have left so far! They all stay in the Lazio team!
Of course, there is still one and a half months until the transfer window closes. No one can say what will happen during this period.
Generally speaking, on the transfer deadline day, there will often be many sensational transfers.
Those wealthy families will not give up easily.
It's hard to say whether Lazio can withstand their continuous harassment.
Anyway, just wait and see what happens.
The media just said this. Chang Sheng announced the end of Lazio's transfer at the new player media meeting held in Lazio.
"We got two very good players this season, and the team's strength has been further strengthened. In addition, I reiterate that Lazio will not sell players, so this summer, the transfer window has been closed for us."
A group of reporters below were stunned, and then one reporter who reacted first raised his hand and asked: "What if there is a team that must buy your players?"
"Not for sale." Chang Sheng's answer was concise and clear.
"How much does it cost to not sell it?" a reporter asked, but it was obvious that he was trying to argue.
Chang Sheng shrugged: "The unit price starts at least 100 million euros, we can give it some thought."
He said something shocking again.
The unit price is 100 million!
There is no player in European football who can reach this worth yet!
Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid cost 80 million pounds and 94 million euros.
This is already the highest net worth in history, and it has not reached 100 million euros.
Modric and David Silva should be considered Lazio's most valuable players, but they are definitely not worth 100 million euros.
If any club is willing to pay 100 million euros for Modric, then their management must be crazy from top to bottom.
If a club really wants to spend 100 million euros to buy Lazio players, whoever replaces them in Chang Sheng's position will probably agree. Chang Sheng himself should be no exception.
With these 100 million euros, we can do many things and buy more players of the same level.
Therefore, Chang Sheng is actually tactfully rejecting those who are interested in his players.
One hundred million euros is nothing more than an excuse.
※※※
When the media disclosed Chang Sheng's words, everyone who saw these words had this thought in their minds.
What 100 million euros?
Just an excuse!
However, Chang Sheng quickly let others know that he was not making excuses and was not joking.
After Chang Sheng announced the end of transfer activities, there are still clubs that do not believe in evil.
Chelsea is one of them.
They offered Modric 36 million euros and wanted to purchase the Croatian midfielder.
Generally speaking, if Chang Sheng really doesn't want to sell Modric, he can simply refuse.
But Chang Sheng did not do this.
The media who have been paying attention to the progress of Chelsea's offer for Modric found that no news has been released for several days.
Two days later, the media finally broke the news.
After Chelsea made an offer for Modric, they quickly received feedback from Lazio.
Lazio did not refuse directly, but offered a new price!
This makes Chelsea Club firmly believe that Chang Sheng’s statement of not selling players is just a way to raise the price. As long as the price is right, they will definitely let him go!
But when they saw Lazio's new price, they were stunned.
They didn't count it clearly at first and thought it was 10 million euros.
How is this possible?
The price only goes up, so why does it go back down?
You are selling players. You are not buying players!
So they counted it again, and this time they finally counted it clearly. It was not 10 million euros, but 100 million euros!
It’s really 100 million euros!
Chelsea Club and his friends were shocked to find out that they really offered their players 100 million euros!
Moreover, Lazio also told Chelsea that this is the final offer and they will not accept any other bids. Otherwise, they will agree to a price of 100 million euros and the transfer transaction will start immediately. If they, the poor devils, do not accept this price, then...
Roll as far as you can...
When the media revealed this, other onlookers were also shocked.
Chang Sheng really does what he says!
He really put a price tag of 100 million euros on his players!
Does he not want to sell? Or does he really want to sell?
Everyone was confused by him.
Only Chelsea knows that that bastard Chang Sheng is just kidding!
100 million euros! I'm crazy to spend 100 million euros to buy your Modric!
But they still don't know the truth...
This is just Chang Sheng's bad taste in playing games.
When he was playing the FM game, if wealthy tycoons like Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City were interested in his players, after the price was quoted, Chang Sheng would usually not reject it directly, but would instead offer a new price.
The new price is at least 100 million euros.
Of course. Most of the time, the opposing club will refuse directly and say that they will no longer be interested in the player.
But there are exceptions.
That was the computer convulsions, and I suddenly agreed!
100 million euros to buy a player who was definitely not a top player at the time!
At this time, as long as Chang Sheng is not a fool, he will choose to agree!
And installment payments are absolutely not accepted.
In this way, he earned a transfer fee of 100 million euros. With this money, he can buy many good Mavericks in the game.
So this is just Chang Sheng bringing his "bad habit" of playing games into reality.
What if Chelsea chairman Abramovich doesn't know what's wrong, can't think about it for a moment, insists on being angry with himself, and accepts it?
Although he is very reluctant to part with Modric, he will not prevent Modric from developing on a bigger stage...
Of course, Abramovich is not convulsed, and the people in charge of Chelsea Club in reality are not computer intelligence, but real people.
They considered Lazio's offer an insult and rejected it without hesitation!
And said that they will no longer be interested in Modric, because such an offer is completely a scam!
In this way, Chang Sheng completely scared away a difficult buyer. At least he no longer had to deal with various offers from Chelsea.
After this matter was reported by the media, it spread widely, and many media also knew that Chang Sheng’s statement that he would only consider buying it for 100 million euros was true!
Those clubs that were completely unable to pay so much money naturally gave up.
Chang Sheng's ears are much quieter than before... (To be continued...)
