Gotze is the player Niang wants to win most right now. If he wins Lyrics, Liverpool's midfielder should be worry-free for the next ten years.

The World Cup is over, and the German team finally reached the final, but they failed to win the championship and lost to the host Brazil.

In the last final, Gotze started, but his performance was mediocre and he was replaced after 70 minutes.

Throughout the entire World Cup, Gotze's performance was not very good. Although it was not a bad performance, there were not many bright spots. That said... mediocre performance.

If it weren't for Gotze, perhaps this performance would have been outstanding, but for Gotze, it was not enough.

People had high hopes for him, and his mediocre performance naturally led to disappointment.

For Gotze and those who like him, this mature egg cannot satisfy them, which is indeed a good thing for Niang.

He can now undercut Dortmund's price!

Gotze's transfer cannot be delayed any longer. The Premier League starts early. If Gotze is not bought early, he will not be able to participate in the team's pre-season training, become familiar with the team's tactics and teammates, and will not be able to develop a tacit understanding. This is directly It affected his condition and the speed of adapting to the team. Maybe the league has started, but he has yet to find his form and is like a marginal figure on the court. This will affect his confidence and even sink him.

So Niang hopes that Gotze can come as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

He made another offer to Dortmund.

But this time it is no longer 30 million plus one Shaheen, but 20 million plus one Shaheen.

Seeing that Gotze did not show his ability in the World Cup, he did not hesitate to cut off one-third of the offer. He considered Dortmund's feelings, otherwise he would have cut off half of the offer. .

As soon as the World Cup ended, the transfer market entered its hottest stage. Many players showed their abilities in the World Cup and became famous in one match, attracting the attention of many wealthy teams, such as Ozil and Khedira who performed well in the World Cup in South Africa that year.

Some people's value has been affected and has declined because they did not show the ability that people expected in the World Cup.

Agents, scouts, club managers and coaches are all busy.

If someone raises the price, someone will naturally lower the price.

Borussia Dortmund's sporting manager Zorc is now facing this situation.

Gotze's performance in the World Cup was not satisfactory, and there are many teams interested in him, but they are all deliberately lowering the price.

Performance in one World Cup cannot explain the problem, everyone knows this. Just because Gotze did not show all his abilities in the World Cup, it cannot be said that Gotze is ignored by everyone and that Gotze is a parallel import or something.

But this performance can be used as an excuse for everyone to lower prices...

We all know that the performance of a World Cup cannot be used as a reference, but we just want to say that the performance of the World Cup proves that Gotze is worthy of his reputation!

Zorc was unhappy.

Those who had previously quoted 30 million euros all lowered their bids, and the club even offered an astonishing 15 million euros!

This made Zorc furious - for 15 million euros, you want to take Gotze away from us? Where are you sending out beggars? !

He really wanted to find a club with the same offer as before, but unfortunately, there was no one.

All clubs interested in Gotze have lowered their offers. This is true even for those clubs that he thought were wealthy.

This made Zorc angry but also depressed, feeling that these clubs were too unauthentic.

Okay, okay, since you are unwilling to raise the price, then we will hold off and see who wins in the end!

※※※

Zorc plans to drag on with the teams that want to buy Gotze until the other side compromises and surrenders.

But it was himself who surrendered first.

Because within a few days, he received a call from Gotze's agent Strutz.

During the phone call, Strutz once again expressed to Zorc that Gotze wanted to leave Dortmund.

Zorc said that he expected Gotze to leave, but not this summer. He hoped that Gotze could stay in the team for one more season. Now Gotze's contract with the team expires in the summer of 2016, which means that the team and Gotze still have more than two years of contract. When the contract expires, Gotze can leave the team for free. Dortmund will get one point by then. No money can be made.

Zorc's idea is that since Gotze is destined to leave the team in the summer of 2016, he must fully squeeze out his residual value. The summer of 2015 is the deadline for Gotze to still sell for a price. After this, Within the deadline, Gotze can basically leave on a free transfer.

So Zorc hopes that Gotze can stay in the team for one more season.

How could Strutz not know what the Dortmund sports manager was thinking. He bluntly rejected the request. He told Zorc that considering everyone's long-term cooperation, it is best to agree to Gotze's request, otherwise they will make Dortmund unable to make a penny and lose all their money. !

In other words, if he cannot leave this summer, Gotze will not leave the team before the expiration of his contract. He will play until the summer of 2016, and then join the team he is willing to go to for free as a free agent.

By then, Dortmund won't make a penny.

This is Strutz threatening Zorc to see if Dortmund is willing to make no money at all, or make some money.

This multiple-choice question is meaningless to Zorc. He must choose how much to earn points! It's the lesser of two evils.

As a sports manager who has worked for many years, he has long known that there is no future in acting on impulse. This circle is so big, and there will be no change. They will meet one day.

And just like that Dortmund succumbed.

Now that the quotations have been lowered, Zorc has no confidence to continue to maintain a high level, and he has to lower his psychological expectations accordingly.

So he was looking for a club with the same offer as before. Now he feels that as long as the offer is the same, it is considered high. In the past, he simply dismissed it.

His eyes fell on Liverpool's offer again.

Liverpool, like other teams, has also lowered its offer, so it is not a good bird.

But Liverpool has an advantage that makes Zorc have to take a second look.

That was Shaheen.

Liverpool could offer Shaheen to them in exchange for players.

And Shaheen is indeed the player Dortmund needs.

This is well worth considering.

Unconsciously, Zorc became more interested in Liverpool's offer.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was reliable and feasible.

Exchange Gotze for Shaheen. Although the two players have different technical characteristics and different positions, their role is the same, and they both lead the team's offense.

Shaheen is also more comprehensive because he can also defend.

He thought about it and sent a fax back directly to Liverpool.

The asking price is 30 million euros plus a Shaheen, not even a penny less.

※※※

"Isn't it okay to lose a minute or more?"

Niang smiled.

Seeing Dortmund's reply, he knew that Dortmund had caved in and had his best interest.

But is it really not enough to lose even one point?

That's not necessarily the case.

You can only lie to yourself by saying this to give yourself more momentum.

Only a ghost can believe it!

Nowadays, everyone is bargaining like crazy. Wouldn’t you be a fool if you don’t?

Niang didn't want to be a fool.

His response to Dortmund was 20 million euros plus Shaheen. Or maybe 25 million euros, but no Shaheen.

Liverpool brought Shaheen from Real Madrid to Anfield a season ago, spending exactly five million euros.

※※※

Zorc couldn't help but be furious when he saw Liverpool's offer.

It's so cunning!

Now it has become Liverpool without giving up a penny...

If possible, Zorc would not want to continue to deal with Liverpool. But Gotze must leave this summer, otherwise Dortmund will not make a penny, which would be a pity!

After finally cultivating a super genius who has attracted the attention of the whole world, if you let him go without making a penny, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?

It’s hard to say, we still have to fight with Liverpool.

In this way, both parties come and go, bargaining.

Because Liverpool needs Shaheen from Dortmund, Dortmund tends to negotiate with Liverpool. As for other teams, unless the offer can significantly exceed Liverpool's price, he is not interested. But now if you want to greatly exceed Liverpool's asking price of 20 million, it means at least 30 million, but under the current circumstances, it is difficult to achieve this price...

Zorc can only look for someone better and find a less bad choice.

Shaheen is indeed attractive to Dortmund.

※※※

In the end, after some bargaining, the two parties reached an agreement on the price of 23 million euros plus one Shaheen.

Although it seems that the total price is 28 million, in fact the calculation cannot be made that way. It's hard to say whether Shaheen is worth five million, but exchanging Shaheen saves Shaheen's salary, which is a big expense. So Liverpool still made a lot of money.

Gotze was bought at such a cheap price, while also saving Shaheen's salary.

Good deal Niang.

As for whether Shaheen is willing to leave... there is no suspense. Shaheen will definitely weigh up whether to stay in Liverpool as a substitute or return to Dortmund to be his king.

Niang has asked Martin O'Neal to talk to Shaheen and clearly informed him that he is not in his plan for the new season.

It would be unwise for Shaheen to hang around.

In fact, Shaheen did not hang around.

He is also happy to return to Dortmund and make a comeback. Returning to a familiar environment is better than going to a completely unfamiliar place and starting over, right?

After experiencing the ups and downs at Real Madrid and Liverpool, Shaheen is now much more realistic and has lost those unrealistic fantasies.

Now it depends on whether Gotze himself is willing to join Liverpool. You must know that the teams pursuing him include Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Inter Milan and other giants.
