Chapter 1618 Really Can't Keep It!
"Real Madrid really have a transfer budget of 600 million euros."
When Yang Yang returned to the hotel room and sat down with Wei Zheng, Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others, the first sentence surprised everyone present, because the number was indeed too surprising.
"Hey, 600 million, who are you going to buy?"
"Real Madrid don't really want to take us away from Ajax, do they?"
"Fart! 600 million euros can buy our whole team? Don't you think yourself too cheap?"
"That is, look at Deloitte's player market value assessment. We have four players with over 100 million euros, and even more players with over 50 million euros. Do you think 600 million can buy our entire team?"
"Tonight's Champions League will definitely increase the value of our players, but 600 million is indeed too much."
"How do you plan to spend the money?"
Everyone was amazed at what you said and what I said, but they had the bottom of their hearts.
Today's Ajax is no longer the Ajax of a year ago, and it is also the new champion of the Champions League.
Van Gaal listened to the discussion of his colleagues, but his attention fell to Yang Yang. After everyone finished the discussion, he asked Shi Shiran, "How did you talk to Real Madrid?"
"I want Frankie De Jong." Yang Yang laughed, and he never concealed his appreciation for the Dutch midfielder.
This is also the only player he specifies that he wants, and the others are recommended by Real Madrid.
"The price of this player is not cheap." Van der Sar laughed.
Yang Yang shrugged, "You have to negotiate with Real Madrid, it's useless to tell me, I won't participate."
"I have to say that this kid really has great potential. With the current momentum of improvement, in time, he will definitely become a top midfielder in Europe. You are familiar with him. Going to Real Madrid with you is indeed a very ideal choice." Fan Gal nodded.
Modric and David Silva are both old and are about to retire. Toni Kroos has also declined this season. In the current Real Madrid midfield, the real main player is De Bruyne, but he is not the core main force.
Isco is like a six-veined sword, and it doesn't work at all times, which is also very worrying.
If Frankie De Jong goes to Real Madrid, he will definitely be reused.
But this is not the point Yang Yang wants to say.
"Frankie de Jong's transfer is a foregone conclusion. Selling him now is good for us and for the players."
Yang Yang had already discussed this matter with the management and made a decision.
Forcing Frankie De Jong to stay is not good for Ajax or the players.
"In addition to Frankie De Jong, the possibility of Ndombele leaving the team is quite high. Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are all very interested in him. If they are all gone, then we have to think about who will take over."
Yang Yang's words made everyone in the room fall into deep thought.
The technical director Van Gaal immediately took over the conversation, "I talked to Ten Hag, there is no problem at all for Odegaard to replace Frankie de Jong, and Schone and Rosario are both qualified to replace Ndombele. Strength, but Van der Beek can't go, our technical team's suggestion is to let go of two of the three midfielders and keep one."
Van der Beek is the main force in the Eredivisie this season and performed quite well, but in the Champions League it is a rotation and a substitute. The main player is Yang Yang, so his current momentum is not as good as that of Frankie de Jong or Ndombele. Players leave the team The will is not particularly strong, if you keep him for another year, there should be no problem.
"Yes, and half a year later, Rainier will be 18 years old and can enter the Eredivisie." Yang Yang decided.
At the beginning, Ajax bought three Brazilian teenagers in one go, namely Rainier, Veron and Giovanni, but because of their age, they are all playing in Brazil. Only after turning eighteen can they leave Brazil and join Ajax, but Ajax has arranged for a special coach to follow them.
Yang Yang's old friend Maxwell is Ajax's full-time domestic scout in Brazil and is solely responsible for contacting them.
"What about the frontcourt?" Yang Yang asked.
"Trident Neres, Jovic and Sancho, if, as you said, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and other teams all take shots, Jovic will definitely not be able to keep it. My opinion is to try our best to keep it. Stay with Sancho and try to keep Neres."
When Van Gaal said this, he paused before continuing, "I talked to Sancho, and I told him that he is still young, and it is not a good thing to land in the four major leagues too early, especially to a rich team, so I hope he If he can stay in the team, practice more, and wait until he is more mature, he said he will consider it.”
Will consider it, it means that the player does have the intention in this regard.
If Frankie de Jong, Ndombele and Jovic all leave the team, Odegaard, Van der Beek and Sancho will become Ajax's leading stars and be reused, which will help Their overall strength and performance have gone a step further.
"Our technical department has studied it. Even if Jovic and Neres are gone, we still have Harland, Mullen, Stens and Boadu. In addition, Maxwell recently recommended another player to us. Brazilian players."
"who?"
"Gabriel Martinelli."
Yang Yang frowned, shaking his head to express that he had never heard of it.
"This player has just turned 18 years old, and has Italian nationality. He is a striker and can play multiple positions in the frontcourt. He is currently playing for Ituano Club in Brazil and has been selected as the player of the Sao Paulo State League for the 2019 season. Rookie and the best team, and has been selected for the training team of the Brazilian national team for the America's Cup."
After seeing Yang Yang nodding, Van Gaal continued: "Two years ago, he went to Manchester United and other European teams for trial training, but he failed to stay. After two years of beating, he has improved even more. obvious."
"How much is it worth?" Yang Yang asked.
"Be the first to start, five million euros, if there are other European teams participating in the competition, it will be hard to say."
Yang Yang nodded again and said, "Make up your mind."
The Ajax of today is not the Ajax of a year ago. Ajax is now rich and powerful.
Just now, Menno Heron from the commercial department told Yang Yang that after winning this Champions League, Ajax is expected to receive more than 100 million euros in substantial income, including winning bonuses, and at least two With a potential income of 300 million, he is confident that the potential income will be realized within the next two years.
In addition, what is more important is the soaring value of players, which will bring Ajax extremely rich financial income.
It can be said that Ajax has completely got rid of the financial quagmire of the past many years and has been reborn.
As the champion of the Champions League, Ajax's goal of signings will naturally not be stingy.
A potential rookie of five million euros, which is in line with Ajax's investment criteria.
Of course, Ajax is also very cautious about these signings. After all, the purpose of investment is to increase value and to sell at a higher price in the future. We will continue to increase our efforts, especially in various hardware and software facilities.
For Ajax's frontcourt players, Yang Yang is still very confident.
Needless to say, Harland, who has become famous for half a season after joining, Mullen, Stens, and Boadu are all young players with great potential. In addition, if Sancho stays in the team, Aja next season The Kicks frontcourt is still quite competitive.
Three midfielders, let go of two, leave one, and the front trident is almost the same. Ajax still has ample talent reserves in the midfield, but the defense is obviously not.
Ashraf is favored by most of the European giants, De Ligt and Militao are sought after by the entire European football, and Tagliafico also has many teams flocking to them. If Ajax If the entire defense line is gone, the blow to Ajax will be disastrous.
Because Ajax does not currently have enough personnel reserves to deal with the reorganization of the defense.
"The right back is the most generous. We have Dumfries. This season Mazrawi played right back and played well. There is also the young player Durst from the youth academy. Dumfries can also play as a central defender."
"If Tagliafico leaves the team at the left back, Jorge can be qualified for the main position, but we need a qualified left back substitute, and we must sign in here."
When Van Gaal said this, he shook his head and sighed, "The most troublesome thing now is the central defender, because De Ligt and Militao performed so bravely in the past season, it is no longer a question of whether we want to stay, but whether we want to stay or not. I can't keep it."
Today's European football players are worth soaring, not only the midfielders, but also the defenders.
Central defenders such as Van Dijk and Maguire have successively created sky-high transfers, which shows the scarcity of outstanding central defenders in European football.
The two central defenders of Ajax are the hottest young rookies in European football in the past season. They are young and capable. May I ask, which giants do not want such players?
If you want to list their suitors, it is estimated that the entire European giants can be counted, even including Liverpool, which already has Van Dijk and Matip.
Ajax really can't keep such a player!
But if they are all gone, Dumfries and Feltman cannot replace them.
"Is it possible for Dericht to stay in the team?" Wei Zheng asked curiously, "After all, he is only nineteen years old, so he can stay in the team and continue training, just like Sancho. Is it feasible?"
De Ligt is still the captain of Ajax, so staying in the team is of great significance.
Van Gaal shook his head, "It's difficult, Barcelona and Real Madrid have already entered the field, and there are also giants such as Manchester City and Juventus. This is not the same as Sancho's situation. De Ligt's performance in the past season is really impressive. People are surprised, especially the maturity."
Yang Yang understood what Van Gaal meant.
To put it simply, Sancho stayed in the Eredivisie, led the team to play in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, and could continue to improve, but De Ligt led the team to win the Champions League as the captain and the backbone of the defense. What else does he have to stay? Pursue.
"Then is there any way to buy a capable central defender?" Yang Yang asked.
