The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 215

215 This Summer ‘s Transfer Window

Zhong Cheng and his group still left the Netherlands. Of course, the Dutch police did not make any progress. It was as if the group had completely disappeared after that day. It was as if if the Dutch police would have thought that if it weren’t for the surveillance footage that day, who was spreading this rumor?

Zhong Cheng originally did not place his hopes on these policemen, so he did not feel any regrets and flew back to Leeds with his team.

At this time, the publicity for Zhong Cheng Suits and Zhong Cheng Razors was very powerful. These two items were bought very well, and one could even claim to be a gold medallist.

The English media were all speechless. They didn’t expect Zhong Cheng’s ability to make money to be so shocking. It seemed like England was going to have another tycoon in suits and razors.

Of course, everyone in Leeds wanted to call Zhong Cheng a football tycoon!

Leeds United fans are looking forward to the new season, and the summer transfer window is about to open, Leeds United fans of course want to see if Leeds United will bring in some big stars this season!

To be honest, there have been a lot of big deals this summer, such as Real Madrid’s Figo, Arsenal’s Vieira, Real Madrid’s Owen and Barcelona midfielder Van Bommel.

Leeds fans want the stars to be associated with the club because they have a wealthy owner and they want to be as wealthy as Chelsea. Next season, Leeds United will also be ready to win the Premier League and advance to the Champions League.

Now Leeds fans are looking forward to the transfer market and they want to see what kind of big money Leeds United can make.

However, Zhong Cheng really did not consider any big transfer, really.

Spending a lot of money to bring in some superstars is really not in line with Leeds United’s team-building philosophy. Zhong Cheng’s team-building philosophy was to spend the least money and do the biggest things.

Zhong Cheng had experience in later generations. He knew that some young players would become popular in later generations. He could spend this money early to recruit these players into his embrace. Why would he spend a lot of money to bring in some big-name players?

Right now, the salary of a big star is really too high. It is not suitable for the current salary structure of Leeds United.

Leeds United have been promoted to the Premier League this season. Zhong Cheng has restructured the club’s salary structure. The highest salary for the first level is £ 30, 000 a week. The only player in the Leeds United Club Formation who can get this salary is Dmitrio Albertini.

Albertini’s salary was just £ 10, 000 last season and has risen to £ 30, 000 since joining the Premier League. His annual salary is around £ 1. 6 million, which is slightly higher than his previous salary of € 1. 2 million in Italy.

This showed that Zhong Cheng would come. Last season, Albertini’s salary was a bit too bad. This season, Zhong Cheng gave Albertini some compensation, so his weekly salary reached 30,000 pounds.

The club’s second-tier salary is £ 20, 000 a week, or around £ 1. 1 million a year, which is relatively high in the current Premier League.

Rooney, who earned £ 30, 000 to £ 40, 000 a week when he joined Manchester United last year, is said to have paid £ 27 million for the transfer.

The weekly salary of a local superstar from a wealthy club is only like this. Then what about the salary of the other teams’ main players?

At this point, some top Premier League teams may not be able to earn £ 20, 000 a week. That’s why Leeds United’s salary is not bad.

Among those receiving £ 20, 000 a week in the Leeds RUF are Pique, Ribery, Huntelaar, Russ Diarra and Modric.

Others earn £ 15, 000 a week and £ 10, 000 a week. Young players from the youth team are paid less than £ 10, 000 but definitely more than £ 6, 000. In other words, the young players at Leeds United are paid more than some of the main teams in the Champions League.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng was not deducted at all from the promotion of Leeds United.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, Ribery, Pique and Huntelaar’s salaries were still low. They should at least take Albertini’s salary at this stage. The reason for that was because many of the salaries that Ribery and the others had offered were higher than this.

Manchester United are said to be paying Ribery £ 30, 000 a week, and Chelsea are said to be paying Ribery £ 50, 000 a week. These people are like shit in the Premier League.

Of course, Arsenal are paying Ribery less. Arsenal’s clubs are not paid well and they are only paying £ 20, 000 a week.

Ars è ne Wenger has gritted his teeth in return for Ribery’s £ 20, 000 weekly salary, which means Zhong Cheng’s offer is not bad.

Of course, it is far from being the case for wealthy people like Chelsea and Manchester United.

Leeds United’s salary structure decided that they could not buy some so-called big stars. Otherwise, Leeds United’s salary structure would collapse, and then other players would ask for a raise. This was not worth it for Leeds United.

Look at Arsenal’s Cheng Vieira Zhong, who is in the midst of a summer transfer ruckus. His current salary is £ 70, 000 a week. He left in large part because of his salary and the length of his contract renewal. Obviously, after his transfer, his salary can only go up, not down.

Where did Leeds get so much money to start Vieira?

If Leeds United do bring in Vieira, at the current rate of £ 70, 000 a week. Will Albertini be willing to accept the £ 30, 000 weekly salary? Will Ribery, Peeker, Huntelaar, and the others have a balance in their hearts? At that time, Ribery and the others would be paid at least fifty thousand pounds a week.

You know, Manchester United’s Little Fatty Lu doesn’t even earn £ 50, 000 a week!

Obviously, the introduction of Vieira is unrealistic.

Not to mention Real Madrid’s Michael Owen.

Michael Owen is unhappy at Real Madrid and there is no place for him at the club, so he chose to leave.

According to Zhong Cheng’s memories, Owen finally moved to the wealthy Newcastle United. However, Owen’s weekly salary was 105,000 pounds, which was much more frightening than Vieira’s 70,000 pounds.

This weekly salary would definitely make Leeds United shy away!

Furthermore, Zhong Cheng knew that, Michael Owen’s initial performance at Newcastle United was impressive, but he suffered two consecutive injuries this season and was reimbursed throughout the season. Newcastle United spent £ 16 million and £ 105, 000 a week on a player with less than 40 per cent of their appearances.

Apart from that, Chelsea Football Club are waving their money, Abramovich is frantically messing with world-class stars around the world, such as 50 million euros for Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko, 21 million pounds for Manchester City native Wright-Phillips and 35 million pounds for Essien, who is playing in La Liga

In any case, this had nothing to do with Zhong Cheng. This season, Zhong Cheng really did not plan to spend a lot of money to bring in some big-name stars.

At this time, Zhong Cheng felt that there was a need to add someone to the full-back position. Danny Pew from Manchester United’s youth training did not seem to be in a good mood and could not keep up with the pace. Leeds United needed a new full-back.

Zhong also has his sights on Sevilla full-back Sergio Ramos, Udinese club Jankulovski and France’s third man Patrick Evra in Monaco.

These three are famous full-backs. Sergio Ramos is the future captain of Real Madrid, the main full-back, the World Cup winner, the European Cup winner and the Champions League winner of the Champions League.

But apparently, Sergio Ramos is unrealistic. Real Madrid are now eyeing Sergio Ramos, with the news that Real Madrid’s first offer was 17 million euros, a very high price.

However, the Sevilla Club actually directly rejected their offer. This had basically been announced that it had nothing to do with Zhong Cheng.

Real Madrid is very sacred among Spanish players, even in the minds of foreign players. Didn’t you see that stars like David Beckham and Michael Owen are looking forward to joining Real Madrid? Sergio Ramos was no exception.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng was destined to have no fate with Sergio Ramos!

Zhong Cheng found Jankulovski again, but it was clear that Leeds United had made another trip in vain. Jankulovski had already been bought by the Serie A giants AC Milan. Now that he had already reported to AC Milan, there was no chance for him to do so.

Zhong’s only choice is the future French left-back Patrick Evra.

Evra is still at Monaco and has not been bought by Manchester United.

Manchester United scouts are said to be keeping an eye on Evra but have not made up their minds to buy him or even contacted Evra or the Monaco club.

Furthermore, Zhong Cheng’s memories also indicate that Evra moved to Manchester United in January next year, during the winter break of this season. Now that Manchester United have yet to make a move, Zhong Cheng just happened to make a move.

Although Leeds United are promoted to the Premier League, they have the UEFA Cup to play in this season, which is very attractive.

Evra was really tempted, and Evra knew that there was a French side at Leeds United. There were a lot of teams from France, so going to Leeds United was definitely a good choice.

Of course, Zhong Cheng knew that Evra wouldn’t be too cheap.

And Zhong Cheng remembers Evra’s transfer to Manchester United should have cost more than £ 5 million. In the end, Zhong Cheng made an offer of £ 4 million to the Monaco club and it was clear that the Monaco club did not agree to the transfer fee.

In the end, Zhong Cheng raised his offer to £ 5 million before the Monaco club agreed to join Leeds United. Moreover, Leeds United club Evra discussed his treatment. Evra wanted Leeds United’s second-tier salary, yes, he wanted £ 20, 000 a week.

However, it was clear that Leeds United were reluctant to do so. After all, he was a newcomer and was at a disadvantage compared to the players who had proved themselves at Leeds United. Moreover, since he wanted such a high salary, he couldn’t convince the crowd.

In the end, Zhong Cheng offered Evra a weekly salary of £ 17, 000, which made Evra feel valued and made Ribery and the others feel very balanced.

Not long after signing Evra, there was good news that Ivanovic agreed to join Leeds United. Aston Villa also reported that you can take Gary Cahill with you for £ 2 m.

A day later, two more young talents appeared at Leeds United Club.
