The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1177
1177 Rich, That’s How Willful He Is!
On July 17, 2009, Leeds United regrouped for the new season.
Yes, Leeds United are starting to gather.
Leeds United did not make much of a move in the transfer window and have only brought in Hames Rodriguez and Diego Costa, who have sold two players in the transfer market, one for Yaya Touré and the other for Luka Modric.
There is only one former midfielder in the club’s current squad, the young Tony Crosse.
Even Harmes Rodriguez, introduced by Zhong Cheng, was loaned to Leiden East, which could apply for a labor permit for Harmes Rodriguez.
And Leeds United’s work permit is for Diego Costa!
Moreover, Diego Costa’s special genius rule was extremely difficult to obtain, and he might not even be able to get it off, so Leeds United could be said to have no reinforcements yet!
Why hasn’t Leeds United brought in reinforcements yet?
Could it be that Zhong Cheng was too lazy?
Of course not, because Zhong Cheng is busy renewing his contract with the Leeds United players.
Yes, it seems to the midfielder that it is more important to stabilise the internal situation than to bring in new players. Now the team is panicking because of the departure of Luka Modric and Yaya Touré. Many people think they will be the next player to leave.
Moreover, there were indeed some people in the club who wanted to leave!
Now that Zhong Cheng had completed the contract renewal of some of the players, and all of them were very important players, Leeds United could be considered to have retained the general framework, but this was obviously not enough. Zhong Cheng hoped to get these players back.
At this time, Zhong Cheng recalled Mesut Özil and De Bruyne from Leiden Oriental Club!
As soon as Mesut Özil returns, he will be competing for the position at the front waist of the main force!
When De Bruyne returned, his position was rather awkward. Although he could play on the left and right, there were Gareth Bale and Eden Azar on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Reus on the right, and there was also Hulk who could play on the left and right.
Therefore, after De Bruyne returned, there was no place for him.
Of course, De Bruyne could also play at the front waist. His offensive ability was quite good, especially his ability to deliver fatal passes. However, his body was too thin and weak. Now that he was so young, it would be difficult to play in this position.
Thus, at this time, De Bruyne found Zhong Cheng. He hoped that Zhong Cheng could bring him to the Leiden East for another season. He was the absolute main force of the team here, and could be considered the core. More importantly, Leiden Orient will also play in the Premier League next season. Rather than returning to play as a substitute, it would be better to stay in Leiden Orient and play as a regular.
De Bruyne was well aware that Leeds United did not have a place for him. He firmly believed that Leeds United would definitely have a place for him in the future.
De Bruyne was very loyal to Leeds United and worshiped Zhong Cheng!
Zhong Cheng carefully considered De Bruyne’s proposal. In the end, he agreed to De Bruyne’s request. It was indeed better for De Bruyne to stay in the east of Leiden, which was more beneficial to his growth.
Zhong Cheng is currently in talks with Leeds United’s Kompani and the others to renew his contract.
At this moment, Leeds United player Sedu Keita made a request to Zhong Cheng that he wanted to leave Leeds United.
Because Leeds United ‘s offer of a contract has displeased his agent, His agent believes Sedu Keita is Leeds United’s main defender and a major contributor to their Champions League title. Sedu Keita’s weekly salary is definitely around £ 120, 000, even if he can’t match Cristiano Ronaldo’s.
Sedu Keita has learned that Yaya Touré ‘s move to Manchester City has paid him so much.
Of course, the salary between Yaya Touré and Manchester City is confidential and few people know the exact details. But when media reporters found out, Yaya Touré ‘s weekly salary was definitely more than £ 100, 000. Some media claimed that Manchester City paid Yaya Touré £ 200, 000 a week, others claimed £ 16, 000, and some guessed £ 14, 000 …
Now Manchester City are naturally claiming in person that Yaya Touré ‘s salary is high.
Right now, the Manchester City Club only wanted the Thousand Gold City Bone. Although they did not specify how much Yaya Touré ‘s salary was, they gave him a good evaluation.
This allowed the other players to know that Manchester City were rich and willing to give money to the players. It was better to hurry up and come to Manchester City!
Sedu Keita and the others got inside information that Yaya Touré ‘s salary was very high!
Leeds United are offering him £ 80, 000 a week, which, to be honest, is very high, but Sedu Keita can’t take it!
Zhong Cheng knew what Sedu Keita meant. He had persuaded Sedu Keita and was willing to give Sedu Keita some salary, but Sedu Keita refused!
Sedu Keita had already received a new invitation, and the other party had given him a price that he could not refuse. Even if he is going to play in the Champions League next year!
Yes, it was Sheffield United, which had just been bought by Chinese company New Era Group, that offered Sedu Keita a new contract.
Sheffield United finished third in the Champions League last season.
However, the Champions League is not promoted to the top three, but directly to the top two. Third to sixth place in the Premier League was for an upgrade bonus, and Sheffield United, who finished third, lost in the final of the upgrade bonus and failed to advance to the Premier League.
Therefore, they will remain in the Champions League this season, but they are indeed a favourite for promotion.
Especially after he injected a lot of money into Sheffield United, the call for them to upgrade was very loud.
Zhong learned from Sedu Keita that Sheffield United had fired a lot of players in order to attract stars in the Champions League, which made the season even more flashy.
Sheffield United have reportedly offered Sedu Keita £ 140, 000 a week and exaggerated winners and promotions and demotions, according to Sedu Keita’s agent. If Sheffield United do level up next season, bonuses and weekly wages could reach £ 170, 000 a week or more.
Hearing this, Zhong Cheng was in a mess!
Sheffield United are even more flamboyant than Manchester City!
This is simply going to destroy the entire transfer market!
Hearing Sedu Keita’s words, what else could Zhong Cheng do? He could only offer Sedu Keita a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, which was no match for Sheffield United!
Furthermore, Zhong Cheng also learned that Sheffield United claimed that if Sheffield United did not succeed in upgrading next season, Sheffield United would agree to Sedu Keita’s departure!
Sedu Keita was very tempted. After all, after receiving this contract, he would probably become the highest-paid football player in the world today.
Of course, it wasn’t the first high salary, but if Sheffield United did level up, Sedu Keita could really be one of the highest paid players in the world.
Sheffield United was so pompous, as if I was so poor that I only had money left.
To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng was unwilling to do business with Gerald Krasna. However, he was very happy with Sedu Keita’s cooperation, so he did not put any obstacles in Sedu Keita’s way.
Zhong Cheng agreed to let Sedu Keita leave, but one thing was that the money had to be in place.
Isn’t Sheffield United rich?
5000 pounds!
For £ 50 million, Sheffield United will be able to take Sedu Keita away!
This price was extremely explosive. If it was another team, they would definitely curse Zhong Cheng for being insane and poor. He was just trash!
But Sheffield United are wealthy, and their style is aggressive and very high-profile. Obviously, they had the same thoughts as the City Club, the Thousand Gold City Bone!
Now Sheffield United are good players, never short of money!
Originally, Zhong Cheng thought that Sheffield United would bargain for a bit, but who knew that he was so magnanimous that he directly waved his hand and gave Leeds United 50 million pounds.
To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng was dumbfounded!
Holy shit! Whose nouveau riche is he? He’s so awesome! 50 million pounds without blinking an eye!
This is equivalent to 60 million euros, directly marrying Luka Modric. Of course, the two of them were the main players of Leeds United’s front waist, and the other was the main players of Leeds United’s back waist. If it was important, the two of them were equally important to Leeds United.
It’s just that Luka Modric’s position is more popular.
However, in recent years European football has attached great importance to good lumbar spine, and good lumbar sprang up very few, so Sedu Keita is justified in being so expensive.
However, many people were cursing Sheffield United’s nouveau riche, disrupting the market order!
The Champions League team was trembling and the damn Sheffield United were going to explode. Many media reporters have claimed that other Champions League clubs are competing for second place in the league, with Sheffield United booking first place.
Moreover, Sheffield United have claimed that their club’s transfer has only just begun!
Media reporters across the continent were trembling with excitement. This year, the England transfer market was really going to explode, it was going to explode!
Not long after taking Sedu Keita, Sheffield United took their full-back Glen Johnson from Leeds United for £ 25 million.
Sheffield United have gone mad, waving cash wildly in the transfer market, seducing players from other clubs.
At this time, Sheffield United officially announced that the club had signed former World Cup winning coach Scolari. Scolari officially became Sheffield United’s coach for the new season. It is said that some media reporters claimed that after Scolari joined Sheffield United, he was the highest-paid coach in the world!
Sheffield United are crazy, even crazier than Manchester City and Real Madrid!
This summer’s transfer market is really messed up!
This summer, the transfer market was messed up by Manchester City, Real Madrid and Sheffield United. There were countless market rules. Holding money in their hands was a frenzied operation, as if money was a pile of waste paper in their hands, wantonly squandering it.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United’s chairman, Gerald Krasna, declared in a high-profile manner, “Our Sheffield United reinforcements have only just begun. We will bring Kompani, Gary Cahill, Diego Milito and the others from the Leeds United team. We can hollow out the Leeds United team. You can rest assured and watch!”
Rich, that’s how willful he is!
