What Bayern Munich is confused and entangled with is: it hurts them to give cash directly.[][].[23][wx].[]
They are afraid of losing money if Bastian Schweinsteiger is added to the deal.
But since Lahm can be worth 10 million pounds, they have to wonder whether there is something wrong with the club's positioning of Lahm.
In other words, if a club is willing to pay 10 million pounds for Lahm at this time, which is equivalent to a transfer fee of about 15 million euros, they may agree immediately.
However, if Millwall were to make this deal, they would have to think twice before making the move.
Aldridge's past operations in the transfer market were not as commercial or astute as those of a businessman.
He just operates based on the concept of building the team and making the team better.
Instead of worrying about how much the players are worth or how much they can be sold for, first satisfy yourself. If a player is eliminated, then selling them for cash is a good deal.
But it's not his style to spend every penny.
If he were a philistine businessman, Bayern Munich's three giants wouldn't think too much.
However, they all understood that Aldridge knew the game, and because he was an expert, this move was not hasty, nor did he care about the gains and losses involved.
"I heard a full-back from Millwall was sold."
Hopfner thought about what happened in England.
Rummenigge subconsciously asked: "He just needs a substitute?"
Hoeness rolled his eyes at Rummenigge, thinking that the other party was asking nonsense.
If Lahm could challenge Schneider and Ashley Cole, the main players of the England and Germany national teams, then Lahm would have already become the main player at Bayern Munich.
It's obvious at a glance. Millwall just needs full-back backup. Their reserves are thin.
Time waits for no one, and if Bayern Munich's three giants are given more time, they may not be able to determine through discussion and observation whether Lahm is worth 10 million pounds, or even more.
Not wanting to pay full cash and not wanting to let Bastian Schweinsteiger go, they chose the third condition and added Lahm to the player transfer transaction. However, they had to lower the price first.
Aldridge obviously lacked patience. The club was about to leave for North America for pre-season warm-ups. He directly gave Bayern Munich an ultimatum.
A £2.5 million reduction on the previous price.
All three conditions resulted in a reduction of 2.5 million pounds.
In the end, Bayern Munich officially agreed to transfer Klose for 12.5 million pounds.
There is no problem with Klose, and there is not much resistance in terms of contract benefits.
But Millwall needs to convince Lahm to join.
The news that Lahm originally received was that he would be loaned out by the club in the new season. The specific destination of the loan has not yet been decided, which made him a little disappointed.
And when he learned that he was included in the player trade as a bargaining chip, he felt even more disappointed.
However, Aldridge called him personally. After saying just one sentence, Lahm informed the club without hesitation that he agreed to the transfer and started packing his bags and heading to England.
Those words may never be forgotten by him for the rest of his life, and they ignited an eternal flame in his heart like never before.
"Come to Millwall and strive to be number one in the world in the future."
Lahm left Germany and targeted England, just like Ballack, Schneider, Klose, and Butt. When will he come back? He doesn't know, but he thinks he has a clear goal: to be No. 1 in the world.
one!
Years later, Rummenigge's question at this time was regarded as nonsense by the other two giants, and it became the biggest regret in the hearts of Bayern Munich's three giants.
"He just needs a backup?"
...
Reality is not only full of irony, but also full of reversals.
Millwall sold Johnson and Klose, and Aldridge never thought that he would get Lahm.
Unlike some small clubs, such as Aldridge acquiring Ramos, Moutinho and other good prospects, they are all from non-rich families. To put it bluntly, money can solve the problem.
But among the promising talents from wealthy families, who are Europe's most wary of right now?
Aldrich!
Guarding against him is like guarding against a wolf!
Just like Barcelona's Iniesta, Real Madrid's Cambiasso, and Aldridge tried to ask for prices in the summer of last season. They didn't expect to take people away like picking up cabbage. They just gave them a similar price. However,
The two teams in La Liga were so frightened that they immediately labeled the players not for sale. They also attracted the attention of the Spanish media and made a lot of hype, saying that the two were unparalleled talents, future Ballon d'Or contenders, and the backbone of the team in the future.
It was learned from some information channels in the circle that Aldrich's asking price caused Barcelona and Real Madrid to re-examine these two people at the same time, which obviously improved their club positioning. However, after a year, the feeling has returned to
previous status.
It has become difficult to take away young talents from the talent pool of giants, especially some young players who have not been proven to be geniuses or mediocre. However, Aldridge has more or less a sense of dignity, as he can target
Despite Cesc Fabregas' age, he is unwilling to do so because of his identity. Moreover, this kind of operation itself is not just a transaction. It should be more of a promise than a transaction. He cannot give it to some young talents.
What’s the point of making a promise if you just get the player himself?
In mid-to-late July, Aldrich announced the joining of Lahm and the transfer and departure of Klose, and then the team embarked on a pre-season warm-up trip to North America.
This time I went to the United States to perform, there were actually two warm-up matches. The sponsor organized a very high-quality warm-up friendly match. Millwall, Inter Milan, Lyon, Barcelona, four teams competed in the cup and knockout rankings.
The winner of a round competes for the championship, and the loser competes for third place.
At London's Heathrow Airport, the team traveling from Millwall met many acquaintances.
It’s not that enemies don’t get together, the entire Chelsea team is here, and the entire Liverpool team is here, including their administrative staff.
Chelsea is going to Malaysia to play in the Premier League Asia Cup.
Liverpool is on a trip to the Far East.
They were waiting for the passenger plane. Millwall came here to board their special passenger plane directly.
Millwall's private jet is used by the club. However, it is also subject to the control of British Airways. The annual expenses are paid out of Aldridge's private pocket, but the club belongs to him, and there is no way to distinguish whether it is public or private.
While Chelsea and Liverpool were still waiting, Millwall had to stop briefly and wait for airport staff to coordinate before entering the dedicated passage and leaving London.
Aldridge greeted Chelsea's new coach Eriksen and Liverpool coach Houllier respectively.
Aldridge dressed casually today, wearing a dark blue work T-shirt from Millwall Club, casual pants, and a pair of fashionable sunglasses. After saying hello, he sat there and waited.
The players got to know each other and greeted each other.
At this time, Chelsea's chairman, Bates, jumped out and waved to Millwall.
"Haha, any of you guys from Millwall want to come and play for Chelsea? I'll give you double your salary!"
This guy must have gotten carried away!
No one saw Glen Johnson hiding directly behind Terry in the Chelsea team, not daring to make direct eye contact with the Millwall team.
Aldrich glanced at Bates, showing no interest in talking to the clown.
Many Millwall players also dismissed it. Ronaldinho rolled his eyes and walked to Bates with Schneider and Henry. Ronaldinho smiled and asked: "Really? Double salary?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Bates stepped back repeatedly, not daring to answer.
Abramovich has money, but it's not Bates' money.
If the salaries of Ronaldinho, Schneider, and Henry were doubled, Chelsea's salary expenses would skyrocket by more than 20 million pounds a year.
Bates was thick-skinned and turned away as if nothing happened, while Ronaldinho raised his eyebrows and walked back after being scolded by Aldrich.
Witnesses at the scene sold the news to Fleet Street, and the atmosphere at the airport changed subtly.
On the Liverpool side, when Bates came to talk to him, Dales, a member of the Liverpool management staff, directly gritted his teeth and shouted at him with a sullen face: "Get out!"
Bates had a look of displeasure on his face. He might have suddenly changed from a life of embarrassment and depression to a life of ease and relaxation, so he greeted them in his unique humorous way.
But in Aldrich's opinion, this man was a bit stupid at the moment.
It is undeniable that what Bates said is very realistic. Money is definitely important when buying players.
When poaching people, you must give them a salary increase.
He opened his mouth to double the salary. Apart from a few big-name players in Millwall who earn a weekly salary of 100,000 yuan, there are many other players, especially those in Liverpool, who earn a salary of less than 30,000 yuan a week. If they are tempted,
, Chelsea can really afford it!
However, he said it so openly and openly in front of everyone.
Your joking seems inappropriate.
Regardless of the fact that it is too explicit, even if there are players who intend to join Stamford Bridge to make a lot of money, if you make such a fuss, don’t you give others a thumbs up? Those players who want to go to Stamford Bridge will definitely be criticized for what happened today if they try to show their favor to Chelsea afterwards.
things are connected together.
Taking a step back, Bates may not have seen that the Chelsea players were not as proud and enthusiastic as he was. When he asked others in a arrogant tone if they were interested in coming to Chelsea, there were at least nearly 10 players in the Chelsea team.
The expressions were solemn, and some even frowned and showed dissatisfaction.
When Ronaldinho, Henry, and Schneider walked up to Bates, there were four or five Chelsea players who looked nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
It is conceivable that the team only has 11 holes in the starting position. Chelsea buys two or three players in different positions, and they are stars. In the team, it will affect the future of at least 45 players. The former main force may be deprived of it.
, the former substitute may be kicked out.
It is normal for Chelsea players to be dissatisfied with Bates when he makes such a fuss. New coach Eriksson's face is as black as carbon. He and Bates are not on the same page. Previously, before Ranieri got out of class, Eriksson and
When there were rumors about Chelsea, Bates made public remarks that he was not interested in Eriksen, but he had no decision-making power, so he opened his mouth. Especially after Chelsea was sold to him, he seemed to be free from responsibility for anything he said.
He became even more unscrupulous.
Soon, Aldrich, with the help of airport staff, led the team into a special passage to prepare to board the plane and leave London.
Millwall were the last to arrive, but the first to leave.
Liverpool and Chelsea are still waiting. Bates gritted his teeth and had to admit that Millwall was not born in a noble place, but Millwall is becoming more and more free and easy-going.
After what happened at the airport reached Abramovich's ears, Bates's behavior made Abramovich and his team worried.
Although he promised to keep Bates in office until 2005, some of Bates' actions made Abramovich feel that he was too low-priced!
Abu rarely shows aggression in his dealings with others, and even seems more intimate. Therefore, he can quickly break into the social circles of the British upper class, make friends with British princes, and generously lend his private jet to aliens.
Ronaldo, when it comes to player transfers, Abramovich is either silent or walks the talk, unlike Bates, who is full of big guns and is useless.
Chelsea's dream lineup was very different from Abramovich's original vision when it was formed in the first year. Summer preparations have already begun, but they are still making waves in the transfer market. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better updated.
