Just the day after the championship parade ended, rumors began to spread.
"Tottenham poached Manchester City's talented player Sancho for 25 million pounds, just waiting for the summer window to open!"
"With an annual salary of 1.8 million pounds, Sancho personally stated that I am willing to join Tottenham!"
"Guardiola has agreed and the two teams are discussing specific transaction matters."
Tottenham fans have little impression of Sancho, they only heard that he is an English player with good potential.
No matter what, poaching a competitor's player is like eating ice cream in the dog days of summer.
Manchester City does need to sell some players. One is that the team does not have that much space.
Guardiola is going to make a big move this season and start his 200 million simultaneous flight strategy.
The other is out of caution about Financial Fair Play.
As long as they don't offend UEFA, Manchester City doesn't want to fall into their trap.
Just when Tottenham fans were talking a lot, Tottenham's official website posted another message.
"Thanks to the fans for their attention, the team has decided to loan Sancho to Bayer Leverkusen for free after signing Sancho in the summer window. The loan fee will be zero and an annual training fee of two million pounds will be provided."
This kind of operation is expected by Tottenham fans.
Tottenham will compete for the Champions League next season and have no time to train Sancho.
There are quite a few teams that want to loan out Sancho.
Marotta is very satisfied with the training program promised by Leverkusen.
Sancho's salary will be borne by Tottenham, as well as training fees of two million pounds.
It has to be said that Tottenham's current actions are becoming more and more wealthy.
There are many teams in the Bundesliga that are eager for players like Sancho.
Although Sancho can't play in the top teams of the Premier League, in a league of this level like the Bundesliga, being a starting player is not a problem at all.
Sancho is just a small hot spot in the transfer market. The real big fish in the transfer market is Neymar.
Neymar will always be the second best player in Barcelona.
Neymar didn't want to continue to be ranked behind Messi, so he applied for a transfer.
There are many interested clubs, but the craziest one is Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain is completely crazy and plans to activate Neymar's 222 million euros in liquidated damages and bring Neymar to Paris.
In addition, he offers generous benefits that are astonishing to outsiders.
Annual salary of 30 million euros in taxes!
Signing fee of 100 million euros!
Paris Saint-Germain are also willing to provide a private jet and pay Neymar's father tens of millions of euros.
It can be seen that they sincerely regard Neymar as their ancestor.
It is estimated that there are few players in the entire football world who can refuse such an offer.
Playing football is a youth sport, and the annual salary of 30 million euros alone is enough to make others envious and jealous.
Not to mention the signing fee of 100 million euros.
You must know that football is generally played by poor people, and some even come from slums.
For them, for 100 million euros, even if they are allowed to join the Chinese Super League, many people are willing to do so.
With Neymar making such a fuss, the entire European football transfer market is in chaos.
All the prices that were originally agreed upon were voided.
It was Neymar's transfer that completely opened a new chapter in European football.
Billion-dollar transfers have begun to become routine operations, with more and more top teams daring to spend huge sums of money.
…
Madrid.
Gulfstream G650er arrives at Barajas Airport.
A group composed of Chen Dongcheng and Marotta visited Madrid.
Summer is already the peak season for football transfers, and Neymar's transfer rumors just came out a few days ago.
Although the summer window has not officially opened yet, scouts or executives from many teams are already busy negotiating.
Sitting in the car sent by the hotel, Marotta reported the situation with Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak.
“Oblak was a little hesitant before.
But when he heard that Neymar would receive an annual after-tax salary of 30 million euros and a signing fee of 100 million euros, he couldn't sit still at all.
We discussed salary increases with Atletico Madrid several times in succession, but the results were not very good."
Marotta sighed: "Atletico Madrid has a very tough attitude. It is impossible to sell Oblak cheaply unless we use the liquidated damages clause."
According to Lao Ma's idea, it would be best to spend 80 million euros to win Oblak.
No team dares to spend hundreds of millions of euros on a goalkeeper.
80 million euros is already expensive enough, and it can already set a new football goalkeeper transfer record.
But signing football players is never that simple.
The agent's benefit fee, whether the player's annual salary is before tax or after tax, and the signing fee need to be determined in advance.
Having said that, if Oblak's liquidated damages were not high, he would have been taken by other teams long ago, so how could Tottenham get the chance?
Whether it is expensive or not is just a matter of psychological balance between buyers and sellers.
Chen Dongcheng said calmly: "Let's talk about it after we meet."
When we arrived at the hotel, news had already spread.
Who makes Mr. Chen’s Gulfstream G650er so conspicuous?
As soon as the front foot took off from the UK, some media began to speculate on Mr. Chen’s whereabouts.
After all, a reporter photographed Marotta and Mr. Chen getting on the plane together, obviously going to inspect the players.
When they learned that Mr. Chen’s plane had landed in Madrid, all the reporters were instantly excited!
There are only two strong football teams in Madrid, one is Real Madrid and the other is Atletico Madrid.
Oh my God, Tottenham are poaching Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid?
For a while, they were not used to Tottenham's tactics.
If this scenario happened to Chelsea or Manchester City, they would be more accepting.
At the hotel restaurant, Marotta invited Oblak and his agent to dinner.
Oblak and his agent Miham Lakar were delighted with Tottenham's offer.
Don't look at the rumors outside that Oblak has an affair with this wealthy family, and that wealthy family will take him away immediately.
That's all fart.
The liquidated damages of 100 million euros alone are enough to scare these wealthy clubs.
For a frontcourt player like Neymar, the asking price is 222 million euros, which is acceptable to everyone.
Isn't it crazy to give a goalkeeper a transfer fee of hundreds of millions of euros?
During the meal, with Marotta as an experienced driver, there was no need to worry that the atmosphere would be gloomy, as it was filled with laughter and laughter.
Oblak and Rakar exchanged glances, and Rakar coughed slightly.
"Well, Giuseppe, you also know Atletico Madrid's tough attitude. They attach great importance to Young. Are you really willing to activate the 100 million euro liquidated damages clause?"
Although Rakar was speaking to Marotta, his eyes remained on Chen Dongcheng.
Of course he knew that the final decision must be made by the young man in front of him.
With his mysterious net worth and youthful appearance, Rakar didn't dare to look down upon him in any way.
Marotta smiled and said: "One hundred million euros is indeed a bit expensive. As you know, no goalkeeper is worth more than Buffon in transfers."
Oblak's eyes were a little sad. He wanted to leave Atletico Madrid, but he was also stimulated by Atletico Madrid's management.
Logically speaking, based on his performance last season, he should be given a salary increase.
However, Atletico Madrid executives believe that his liquidated damages are very safe, and no team will be willing to spend 100 million euros to introduce a goalkeeper.
Even if Oblak is left alone first, it doesn't matter. Let's increase the salaries of other players first.
At this time, Oblak extremely regretted that he had agreed to the 100 million euro liquidated damages clause offered by Atletico Madrid executives.
If the liquidated damages were set at 70 million euros, there would definitely be many wealthy families snapping up the money.
If you buy a good goalkeeper, you won't need to replace it for the next ten years.
Naturally, Rakar would not be submissive and fight for Oblak.
"Giuseppe Young is only 24 years old this year, but he is already recognized as the number one goalkeeper in football.
He will perform even better in the future, and I even think Young has a chance to win the Ballon d'Or!"
Marotta smiled and looked at Chen Dongcheng. He would not steal the limelight.
Oblak and Rakar turned their attention to Chen Dongcheng, a little nervous and a little expectant.
"A good goalkeeper can beat half the team. I have watched your game and you are very passionate. I hope you can become Tottenham's new goalkeeper in the next ten years!"
Chen Dongcheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations on joining the great Tottenham Hotspur and create more miracles with us."
"Yang!"
Rakar's face was full of excitement. He noticed that Oblak was looking at Chen Dongcheng blankly, and he quickly poked Oblak.
"Oh, thank you, I'll prove it to you."
Oblak was very moved. It is no exaggeration to say that once this deal is announced, it will instantly shock the entire football world.
The shock index is no worse than Neymar's transfer!
Think about the goalkeeper's transfer record, Buffon has maintained it for 17 years!
Now that he has the opportunity to break the record of his predecessors, Oblak is extremely excited.
"As a signing bonus, I will give you a signing fee of 10 million euros.
In addition, there will be a weekly salary of 200,000 euros. You will sign with the team for six years and have a liquidated damages of 200 million euros.
If you stay for three years, I will reward you with an additional 20 million euros as a loyalty bonus, what do you think?"
After Chen Dongcheng finished speaking, Oblak wanted to sign immediately.
His agent Lakar forced to maintain the last trace of reason and asked: "Mr. Chen, is this after tax or before tax?"
"Of course, after tax, our future goalkeeper deserves such treatment!"
Chen Dongcheng said with a smile. This scene fell into Oblak's eyes, and he was extremely domineering.
Think about how coyly Atletico Madrid's senior management treated him, and then look at Chen Dongcheng's generous treatment of him.
Annual salary of tens of millions of euros after tax, signing fee of tens of millions of euros!
If you stay for three years, you will receive a loyalty bonus of 20 million euros!
Almost all of Oblak's dream treatment was mentioned by Chen Dongcheng in an understatement.
Lakar and Oblak looked at each other and said to Chen Dongcheng with respect: "Mr. Chen, my employer is very willing to join Tottenham. Thank you for your recognition."
"cheers!"
Champagne glasses clinked together, and the hotel waiter faithfully recorded the scene.
At the end of the dinner, Marotta officially released the news, accompanied by celebratory photos.
"Shocking! Tottenham activate Oblak's liquidated damages clause and take away the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper!"
When the news came out, the entire European football world was once again in an earthquake!
It was shocking enough that Neymar chose to leave, but Atletico Madrid unexpectedly made another shocking news!
Many fans are completely confused as to what happened to European football this year and why so many shocking deals were announced.
Some people questioned whether it was fake news, and they soon had a clear answer.
Lacar spoke to reporters on behalf of Oblak.
"The great Tottenham boss, Mr Chen from China, had a meeting with my employer.
It is difficult for me to describe to you the excitement. My employer could not wait to go to London for a medical examination immediately.
You know, Tottenham are a great team.
Although they failed to reach the quarterfinals last season, my employer is confident that he can help Tottenham win the Champions League trophy.
Mr. Chen thinks very highly of my employer and even offers me an annual salary of tens of millions of euros after tax!
This is beyond our imagination. Thank you very much for the interview.
I also want to thank Atletico Madrid for nurturing my employer, and I hope we can meet again."
Lakar's interview was released, officially announcing that the deal was completely confirmed.
Only when the summer window opens can it be officially passed.
Tottenham fans are totally excited!
The world's number one goalkeeper is about to join the team. Although they are a little cruel to the old goalkeeper Lloris, they really can't control their excitement.
Oblak also logged into his social account and posted a picture with the Tottenham team logo on it with the text: "I love Tottenham!"
