Chapter 236: Winning 007 (First update guaranteed)
I have to say that Liverpool is really lucky.
Perhaps sometimes, luck is also an essential factor in the formation of a great team and the birth of a great dynasty. It can even be said that any great team or a great dynasty has good luck...
Atletico Madrid did not reject Liverpool, only agreed to Manchester City.
Moreover, they did not immediately reject Liverpool's offer of 18 million euros, but hesitated for a few days before rejecting it.
Niang keenly caught Atletico Madrid's hesitation.
He feels that he is not far away from a final offer that Atletico Madrid can accept.
Although in external news, Atletico Madrid stated that James Rodriguez would not be sold until 40 million euros. But Liverpool will never meet their request.
Because Liverpool will never spend 40 million to buy a wide player who doesn't know whether he can play the main role.
Not only Liverpool, but also teams such as Manchester City will not spend 40 million to buy James Rodriguez.
Liverpool quoted 20 million euros and stated that this was their final offer.
Then Niang called James Rodriguez's agent, hoping that James could stand up against the club and add weight to the transfer.
If the players themselves don't rebel, the only way to convince the other club is to throw money at them. Only by allowing the players to stand up and express their strong intention to leave can Atletico Madrid feel that they cannot keep the players. If the players are forced to do so, Atletico Madrid will also choose to let them go based on economic interests. of.
In addition to asking James Rodriguez's agent to come out and publicly state that Rodriguez intends to leave Atletico Madrid, Niang also used the media to build momentum, intentionally or unintentionally hinting to the media that Liverpool is now in a relationship with James Rodriguez. recent.
No matter whether this is true or not, as long as the momentum is created. Then more people will believe that Liverpool is indeed James Rodriguez's true destiny.
At that time, some competitors may think that Rodriguez has reached some kind of agreement with Liverpool, and are determined to give up, and do not intend to continue to waste time on Rodriguez.
Niang often uses the media to build momentum, because several of his good friends in the past are influential figures in the media...
Of course, ordinary people don't know the relationship.
※ ※ ※
James Rodriguez's agent claimed in the media that his player wanted to go to a bigger stage. Although Atletico Madrid also qualified for the Champions League in the new season, it still had to start from the qualifying rounds. So the "bigger stage" that this agent calls is obviously those teams that can directly participate in the Champions League and even have the ability to win the Champions League championship.
After the scope is narrowed, the target is easy to find, and the teams that have the strength to win the championship are listed.
Liverpool is clearly on the list.
Immediately afterwards, the media began to craze about the recent news of Liverpool and James Rodriguez.
The media have stated that Liverpool has had some kind of contact with James Rodriguez. They didn't go into too much detail, but everyone knows what's going on - Liverpool may have reached an agreement with James Rodriguez in advance. As long as Liverpool can deal with Atletico Madrid, "007" will be Liverpool's man.
The reason why I can't go into too much detail is because I'm afraid of being used as an excuse.
Anyway, as long as everyone knows what it means.
This momentum has come down early.
Liverpool suddenly broke out from the competition for James Rodriguez from several major clubs and became the team most likely to sign Colombian Cristiano Ronaldo.
Immediately afterwards, Liverpool reported a new offer to Atletico Madrid - 20 million euros, with an additional 3 million euros floating price.
If James Rodriguez gets 30 appearances in the Liverpool first team, they will pay Atletico Madrid an additional 1.5 million euros. If the number of appearances reaches 50, another 1.5 million euros will be given.
The total price is 23 million euros, which is of course not comparable to the original 40 million Atletico Madrid spent to buy Rodriguez.
But the problem is that the original figure of 40 million was falsely high and there was no reason for it. Therefore, other giants in Europe are unwilling to be a Kaizi. Unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid became a Kaizi in a hurry.
Even if Rodriguez has shown his value in these two seasons and his value has increased, the increase is the actual value, not the inflated value.
Therefore, we cannot use 40 million as a reference. Many people think that James Rodriguez's actual worth when he joined Atletico Madrid was at most 18 million euros.
Now Liverpool has come up with 23 million euros, which is considered a relatively reasonable price.
Atletico Madrid struggled for a long time this time.
They were thinking about a question - whether it was a good deal to sell James Rodriguez at this price at this time.
They thought about it for a long time and then figured it out. It is impossible to sell James Rodriguez for more than 40 million euros. There is no other genius like them in the world.
However, the value of James Rodriguez has to be calculated this way - 23 million euros, which is real money that everyone can see. At the same time, his outstanding performance last season helped Atletico Madrid reach the Champions League qualifying round. If Atletico Madrid can enter the Champions League group stage, the total rewards received will not be too much.
So... selling James Rodriguez is not so unacceptable.
This person, sometimes what he values is a "clear idea". As long as he figures it out on his own, then there will be no problems.
In the end they agreed to Liverpool's offer, but they also agreed to Manchester City's offer.
What plays a decisive role now is the players' own wishes.
To be honest, there are really not many teams that can compare with Liverpool in terms of attractiveness to players.
Perhaps the only thing Manchester City can do better than Liverpool is in terms of player salaries. But are they likely to offer James Rodriguez more than £150,000 a week?
If they were willing, they wouldn't just spend a transfer fee similar to Liverpool's to acquire Rodriguez.
Moreover, for Rodriguez, whose career is on the rise, which one is more important is the championship honor or money. Judging from his rationality and determination to use the transfer to Atletico Madrid to escape Porto and save the country by joining a giant, the answer is clear.
In the end, just as he had said to Liverpool before, he agreed to the contract offered by Liverpool with a weekly salary of only 80,000 pounds, but rejected Manchester City's 100,000 pounds weekly salary contract.
He was losing £20,000 a week, which was £1.04 million a year. But at this price, what he can get may be seven championship trophies, and... more championship honors in the future.

After Liverpool got what they wanted and got James Rodriguez, they turned around and competed with those giants to grab Sissoko.
The tension to be faced is greater than that of James Rodriguez. After all, there is no shortage of excellent wingers and full midfielders in today's football. But there is a shortage of good left backs.
Sissoko is a rare commodity.
After Niang settled the transfer deal with Atletico Madrid, the game was already in full swing in Lyon, France.
But Sissoko's value has not been raised. Because everyone is sensible and knows that it is stupid to raise the price wildly for a player who is destined to not spend a penny. This kind of behavior will not only bring you displeasure, but will also anger other teams and create a lot of trouble for you in the future.
European football is like this, and the circle of wealthy clubs is even smaller. No one dares to say that they will not get anxious with other teams. Maybe next season I have my eye on a player from a certain wealthy team, but because of what happened today, I offended the other party, causing the other party to ask for an exorbitant price, and I will either have to bear the pain of being ripped off, or have to bear the pain of giving up the player I am optimistic about.
So, in this industry, popularity is really important. This is why there are private transactions between many teams. Everything is inseparable from the word "human feelings", both at home and abroad.
Therefore, although everyone competes fiercely, they have not lost their harmony. It is truly "friendship first, competition second".
Sissoko's worth has never been able to break through the highest price of 28 million euros.
Lyon president Aulas became the most unhappy person.
He publicly roared in the media again and again: "Without 40 million euros, Sissoko will not be sold!"
But no one listened to him, because now he has said it for a long time and it is of no use at all.
As long as Sissoko wants to leave the team, with Aulas's miserly style, he will definitely not be able to allow Sissoko to finally have a free transfer. At that time, even if he can only earn 10 million euros, he will sell Sissoko without hesitation.
At this time, it depends on whether Sissoko himself wants to leave Lyon resolutely.
Sissoko's attitude is very determined.
Because he stopped training!
He has not attended the team's training for two consecutive days. The explanation given by him and the Lyon club was that he was slightly injured and, out of caution, did not participate in the team's training.
But who are we all? We are all insiders. Who can’t see such a little trick?
Isn't it just that Sissoko stopped training? Lyon was unwilling to admit it due to dual considerations of face and dignity.
Sissoko didn't admit it and just left himself a little way out.
Everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But this incident sent a signal to everyone - Sissoko is determined to leave Lyon. If you have the ability, take me away this summer!
As a result, these wealthy families felt confident and boldly lowered prices. The only thing that matters is not raising the price.
Lyon president Aulas is so depressed...
After all, both of them are from wealthy families. In European football, they are big names who can make European football tremble just by stomping their feet.
Why are you all so mean and stingy!
Not even willing to pay 30 million!
At this moment, Niang took action.
Liverpool's first offer was 25 million.
Leon refused.
Liverpool made a second offer of 30 million and told Lyon that this was the final offer. If you don't agree, throw it out.
When Aulas saw this offer, his eyes lit up!
Because this is the highest quote in this month!
Thirty million! It happens to be his psychological bottom line.
How could it be such a coincidence?
