Manchester City is busy introducing players, while Sparta Prague is busy retaining players. Because Sparta Prague entered the Champions League quarterfinals last season, it attracted the attention of many teams.
Suarez, for example, is very popular because of his good skills, excellent dribbling skills and good passing skills. Hulk is also well-received for his abnormal wing breakthrough ability and powerful long-range shooting ability. Of course, Hamsik,
Vidal and Matic both performed very well. The important thing is that these people are very young, and young talents always attract everyone's attention. But they are all Leicester's players, and Leicester does not want them to join at such a young age.
Strong European teams might ruin their careers, so I appeased them.
In fact, in addition to this reason, another reason is that you can't make much money by selling them now. Now they sell for tens of millions of euros, and the transfer fee is too small. Now half of their ownership can be
They are all in the hands of Riester. It will take another one or two years before they can be truly valuable. By then, it is estimated that the minimum value will be 20 million euros. If you transfer now, the loss will not be millions, but more.
Ten million.
However, there are some players who are not owned by Liszt and Liszt cannot control it. For example, this is the case with Dzeko, the current main striker of Sparta Prague. Dzeko is very good, not ordinary. He scored two goals in the last season.
Twelve league goals, three goals in the Champions League, and three goals in the Czech Cup. Twenty-eight goals were scored in Sparta Prague throughout the year, which immediately attracted the attention of many strong European teams.
.
Dzeko came to the Czech League to use it as a springboard. He never thought about staying here. Now he has made a name for himself in Sparta Prague. His goal has been achieved. He does not want to continue to waste time in the Czech League.
Time. Because when a strong European team contacted him, he immediately expressed his willingness to leave.
The one who is most interested in him and has the most sincerity is Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. It is Wolfsburg's head coach Magath. Magath is the most aggressive spender among Bundesliga coaches, and Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg is also the richest team in the Bundesliga besides Bayern. Behind Wolfsburg is Volkswagen. I have never heard of Wolfsburg being short of money in the Bundesliga.
Facing the top scorer Dzeko in the Czech League, Wolfsburg directly paid a price of tens of millions of euros. Of course, if it was the Czech League a few years ago, then even the top scorer would cost several million euros.
But the current Czech league is completely different. As the top scorer, Dzeko is worth more than 10 million euros.
After the two sides bargained, Wolfsburg finally introduced Dzeko at a price of 1,600 euros. From the perspective of European football, buying players from the Czech league is getting more and more expensive, but in Riester's view
Dzeko is still cheap. As the top scorer in the Czech league, he should be sold for at least 20 million.
After Dzeko left, Sparta Prague was looking for Dzeko's replacement. Lewandowski, whom List brought from Poland, came to Sparta Prague. Although he is currently not as strong as Dzeko, he is still quite good.
Favored by Heynckes, Sparta Prague's strength has not declined much despite losing top scorer Dzeko this season and Kompany, the absolute mainstay of the defense.
Because the players in Sparta Prague are all young players. Now their experience has increased by one year every year. Their strength has also increased, and their cooperation has become more and more tacit. Like the young Vidal, Matic,
Hamsik and the others are getting better and better year by year, and their coordination is getting better and better year by year. Sparta Prague's strength is only going up.
"Father, you are becoming more and more outstanding as the club president."
"Thanks to you."
Thomas Czerny is very excited. In recent times, as Sparta Prague has made a lot of money every year, and Sparta Prague has performed very well every year, his status in the hearts of Sparta Prague fans has become higher and higher.
For example, two players were sold just this summer, and the transfer fees were as high as about 37 million euros.
In recent years, with the management of Thomas Czerny, the brand value of Sparta Prague has been getting higher and higher. Ten years ago, if you had more than 10 million euros, you could buy Sparta Prague Club. But now
Now, if you want to swallow up Sparta Prague without 100 million, the directors of Sparta Prague will never agree. Because they have been able to receive enough dividends every year in these years.
"By the way, Lister, you have a lot of business in England."
"Well, who doesn't know that the Premier League is full of wealthy people? My main business is in the Premier League."
In the current European football world, the total annual transfer volume of the Premier League far exceeds that of La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga. This season, Middle East oil capital has emerged, and the transfers in the Premier League are even more amazing. The prosperity of the Premier League has just begun and has not yet reached its peak.
.For example, last season, a total of three teams in the Premier League entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. This situation will continue for several years.
"The pound has gone up recently."
"oh?"
Lister doesn’t know much about the economy, especially the capital market. As an agent, Lister helps players manage their assets, but Lister’s own assets require the help of professionals. Lister’s staff
There is a very professional and large team that helps manage List and the assets of List's players.
Of course, they will not make risky investments. They will take the lowest-risk approach when managing List's assets. Although the profits will be limited in that way, it is also the safest approach.
Lister himself would not be involved in these aspects. So when he heard his father say that the pound had risen, he was just stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded. In recent times, due to the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, the U.S. dollar has been depreciating continuously.
The euro has also slowly begun to be affected. Although the impact is not big, they are all affected, so the exchange rate of the pound against them has increased. Recently, one pound has even begun to be exchanged for two US dollars.
"Pound? Pound?"
Lister thought about it for a long time, always feeling as if he had forgotten something. Now that he specifically mentioned the pound, Lister slowly remembered it. Lister himself has not studied these currency markets, and cannot be as invincible in the capital market as those other time-travelers.
.But as a broker, Riester still has some knowledge about pounds and euros.
After the beginning of the 21st century, the pound is very valuable. For example, one pound can be exchanged for 1.5 euros now. But Riester vaguely remembers that in 2009, one pound could be exchanged for 1.1 euros.
That's good. Lister knows this mainly from the players' salaries.
When the pound was valuable, the salaries of Premier League players were among the highest in European football. Especially the salaries of upstart players like Chelsea and Manchester City were very high. When Chelsea gave Terry, Lampard, Ballack and others ten
At 20,000 to 30,000 pounds, their salaries were the highest in European football. But after 2009, the salaries of players like Ronaldo, Messi, Kaká, Ibrahimovic, and Eto'o were all higher than the maximum salary in the Premier League.
, the reason is that the pound has depreciated sharply. I was quite clear about these Riesters back then.
Although Lister does not understand how the currency market works, he can imagine that the pound has depreciated by more than 30% in one year. This is definitely a good opportunity to make money. Of course, even if he knows that the pound will depreciate, Lister himself
I don’t know how to operate it either. But of course it’s impossible to embarrass Lister with this kind of thing.
"What's wrong?"
"No. My team recently researched that the pound is expected to plummet next year. I am thinking about how to make money from it."
List is not worried that the pound will not depreciate at all. Although List's arrival has changed a lot of world football, List's small efforts and List's capital are not enough to change the world economic trend.
The depreciation of the pound is inevitable. As the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States becomes more and more serious, it will definitely affect Europe. As the most financially developed country, the United Kingdom will be severely hit. Nowadays, there are many international hot funds shorting the pound. But Reese
I don't pay much attention to these, so I just don't understand. Facing the huge international hot money, even if List throws all his property into it, there will be no waste. Because when they confirm that they are shorting a certain currency.
Not billions of dollars, but tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars pouring in there.
“Will the pound fall?”
"Well, Father, haven't you heard about the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis?"
"Heard something."
Thomas Cherny nodded, but he didn't care about this matter. The United States is really too far away for the Czech Republic. The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is serious, but the Czech Republic has not been affected at all. The Czech economy has not had any problems.
, on the contrary, it developed very smoothly.
"He's going to cross the ocean soon."
"I don't understand this kind of thing, and I won't play with this kind of thing. You should also be careful."
"I know."
Lister will never really play those thrilling investment markets, because Lister himself does not have that ability. But Lister knows that the pound will depreciate in the next year, and the depreciation amount will exceed 30%. As long as he knows
At this point, the investment teams under Lister know better than Lister how to operate. Lister will not invest too much, but there is no problem in earning some pocket money to spend.
"Didi didi——"
"Raul's agent Carvajal."
Lister explained to his father and then answered the phone: "Genes, why do you call me when you have time?"
"What, it's done so quickly? I understand."
List put down the phone and smiled bitterly. Then he looked at Thomas Czerny and said: "Father, the European football transfer market has just completed an amazing transfer."
"What transfer?"
"There is a famous 24-year-old central defender from Porto named Pepe, who has just transferred to Real Madrid. Father, do you know how much the transfer fee is?"
"Pepe, I've never heard of such a person. How many?"
Thomas Czerny thought for a while, he had never heard of such a talented central defender in European football. Compared with a talented central defender like Kompany, his reputation is not that high. Kompany is a talented central defender.
It was sold to the upstart Manchester City for just over 20 million euros. How much money Pepe could sell would surprise Riester.
"Thirty million euros."
"Are you kidding me?"
Thomas Czerny shook his head and didn't believe the price. It's not a few years from now. Even the top central defenders will not be able to sell for 30 million euros. Pepe is a name that I have never heard of.
There is absolutely no name like Pepe among the talented central defenders in European football. I don’t know where it came from. How could it be worth 30 million euros?
"I wanted to make a joke, but it's a pity that it's true. Carvajal just called me to tell me that Real Madrid and Porto have finished talking. Father, I won't say more, I will go to Madrid in the afternoon."
"I know. Damn it, is Pepe really that good? Which national team is he a player for?"
"Brazilian. He got Portuguese citizenship last year and seems to have not entered the national team yet. But Scolari seems to appreciate him more and should be close to the Portuguese national team."
"I only joined the national team when I was 24 years old. It's not that good, but it's only 30 million euros."
Listening to Thomas Czerny's words, List did not answer. For 30 million euros, Kompany was more famous and performed better than him, and the transfer to upstart Manchester City was only more than 20 million euros. Of course, Thomas Czerny
Ni was indignant.
"Oh, father. Next year we will let Thiago Silva transfer for 40 million." (To be continued...)
