687 Sold the Glass Man for an Astronomical Price
Black shop!
Super Black!
Europe’s number one black shop!
Infinite rage surged in Arsène Wenger’s chest and he was about to spit out a blazing flame that burned the shameless fellow in front of him to ashes.
Damn, he had seen quite a few black shops, but he had never seen such a dark one before.
A fifth striker is going to sell for 10 million pounds? Holy shit, do you think everyone is a fool? Or do you look like you don’t have enough IQ? And Diaby, how dare you call this guy 15 million pounds? You haven’t seen money, have you?
Diaby was worth just £ 2 million when he joined Leeds United last year, and in just a season, he was eight times as valuable. Holy shit, this black shop is too dark.
Moreover, Diaby’s chances of appearing this season weren’t many, and there wasn’t anything too stunning about it. Arsène Wenger admits Diaby have raised prices, but it’s only £ 6 m-£ 8 m at most, £ 10 m is the best, and £ 15 m is the worst, you’re crazy about money!
And this Thomas Vermaelen guy, 20 million pounds, my God, how powerful is this centre-back?
Of course, if Thomas Vilmullen had been a central defender for Leeds United last season, £ 20 m would have been worth it. After all, he was a central defender for two Premier League clubs in a row.
But last season, Thomas Vilmullen was not a regular centre-back for Leeds United. This guy should be worth around £ 12 million. How could he have soared to £ 20 million all of a sudden?
Although the world football world good centre-back is extremely lacking, but also can not sit so starting price ah.
Arsène Wenger complained to Zhong Cheng, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Mr. Arsène Wenger, you’re wrong. Thomas Vermaelen was our Leeds United central defender last season. He played alongside Compani in the early stages of the league, and even though Pique recovered from his injury, Thomas was still in the starting line-up. It was only in the middle and late stages that Thomas was injured and lost his place in the main team. When he recovers, Pique and Compani have formed a new strong central defensive team, which is why Thomas has lost his place!
Arsène Wenger nodded slightly.
Zhong Cheng continued, “In other words, Thomas didn’t lose his main position because of his lack of strength.” It was because his luck wasn’t good enough, because his injuries had caused him to lose what he deserved. After recovering from his injuries, he had also appeared on the bench many times. The strength he displayed was not a problem at all. On the contrary, he had taken a step closer. If it weren’t for the fear of destabilizing the defence, I would have let Thomas return to centre-back. Do you know that a central defender who has won the Premier League for two consecutive years is not worth 20 million pounds? “Go to Ferdinand and see how much Real Madrid have just bought for Pepe.”
Yes, shortly after the season ended, Real Madrid announced a bid of 30 million euros for Porto’s Brazilian-Portuguese centre-back Pepe.
A centre-back from the Portuguese league can be worth 30 million euros. Why is the two-time Premier League champions centre-back and the Champions League quarterback not worth 20 million pounds?
Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Arsène Wenger was truly speechless!
What Zhong Cheng said makes sense. Pepe is worth 30 million euros. Why can’t Thomas Vermaelen be worth 20 million pounds?
Although he thought Zhong Cheng’s words made sense, it was too expensive.
Zhong Cheng’s sudden words caused Arsène Wenger to make up his mind: “Let me tell you, Real Madrid are interested in Thomas Vermaelen. They want Thomas Vermaelen to form a new centre-back team with Pepe. This is a champions league centre-back team. Their offer is now £ 18 million, and it’s an initial offer!”
Hearing this, Arsène Wenger’s breathing froze and he became anxious.
“With Real Madrid’s purchasing power and Real Madrid’s superstar policy, I believe you should understand that they will spare no effort in taking a fancy to a player. So there is not much time left for you, Mr Arsène Wenger!” Zhong said.
Zhong Cheng is not lying to Arsène Wenger, Real Madrid have made a real offer for Thomas Vermaelen. From the moment Zhong Cheng accepted Leeds United, Thomas Vilmullen was the main centre-back of Leeds United. He was the main player and contributor to Leeds United’s levelling up and winning the UEFA Cup. After that, Leeds United won two Premier League titles in a row. Thomas Vermaelen was also the club’s main centre-back, and Thomas Vermaelen was the European Champions League centre-back. He was stronger than Pepe in terms of weight and strength.
Real Madrid are building new defences for Pepe and Thomas Vermaelen, both of whom are strong and equally young. If they are brought in, Real Madrid will not be worried about their role at centre-back for the next 10 years.
Real Madrid have just made a direct offer of £ 18 m for Thomas Vermaelen.
Zhong also told Arsène Wenger bad news, saying: “Now Thomas is ready to switch agents, is Pepe’s agent Jorge Mendez.” “Real Madrid’s takeover of Thomas this time has been brokered by Jorge Mendez, so you really don’t have much time left, Mr Arsène Wenger!”
Arsène Wenger had thought he was right to take down Thomas Vermaelen. Now, it seemed that he really had some fantasies.
Of course, Arsène Wenger is not worried that Zhong Cheng is lying to him. Because professional football has such a big circle, it’s easy for someone like Arsène Wenger to get some football news.
Zhong Cheng is a smart man and a high-status football player. He disdains to tell such lies, which is why Arsène Wenger feels so anxious.
Arsène Wenger asked: “How did your club respond to Real Madrid?”
Zhong Cheng laughed and said, “Of course I refused. 18 million pounds is a lot. But it’s too little for Thomas Vermaelen. If we really want to sell Thomas Vermaelen to Real Madrid, I believe 25 million pounds is very likely!”
Arsène Wenger’s breathing froze and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He suddenly felt as if Thomas Vermaelen was going to leave him.
However, Arsenal really lacked centre-backs and reliable centre-backs. He had finally taken a fancy to a Thomas Vermaelen. He naturally hoped to bring Thomas Wilma to Arsenal. Who would have known that Real Madrid would interfere? Damn it!
Arsène Wenger raised his head and said: “How about this, Mr. Loria, 20 million pounds, let’s take Thomas Vermaelen!”
Arsène Wenger really clenched his teeth and was determined.
After Arsène Wenger said that, he could feel his heart ache, as if he had cut off a piece of his flesh. Even he was afraid that he would go back on his word in the next moment, because the price was too expensive.
However, Zhong Cheng suddenly shook his head.
“Sorry, Mr Arsène Wenger, £ 20 m is too low. We have just received a new round of offers from Real Madrid and they have directly raised the transfer fee to £ 25 m,” said Mr Zhong.
Arsène Wenger’s eyes widened as he stared at Zhong Cheng as if he was going to eat him.
Zhong Cheng immediately shrugged his shoulders and said, “Mr. Wenger, I will not lie to you about such a thing. Your information should be very well-informed.”
Arsène Wenger was instantly deflated like a ball, and it looks like Thomas Vermaelen is out of luck with him. Because 20 million pounds is really his limit, it’s not worth it to raise it any further, and even he thinks 20 million pounds is a little too much.
But Arsène Wenger is reluctant to give up on Thomas Vermaelen, a very important piece of his puzzle.
However, 25 million pounds, they will definitely not pay, absolutely!
“Mr. Wenger, it’s not like you don’t have a chance right now. Real Madrid and the offer is £ 25 million, but they are prepared to pay in installments. The first time they pay £ 18 million directly, the remaining £ 7 million will be paid off in two years and there are some conditions. So I think you still have a chance,” Zhong said.
Yes, Zhong Cheng will agree to pay by installments. Because Zhong Cheng knew of Thomas Vermaelen’s glass stats, it was clear that Leeds United would not be able to get the next £ 7 million if they paid in installments. In any case, he did not agree to pay by installments.
Hearing this, Arsène Wenger raised his head and stared at Zhong Cheng as if asking what you meant?
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said: “I can feel the importance that Mr Wenger attaches to Thomas and I hope to have a good relationship with him. In this way, with £ 22 million paid off in one go, Thomas Vilmalen will be a player for your Arsenal team!”
For a moment, Arsène Wenger was really tempted. But the £ 22 m price is ridiculously high and Arsène Wenger has made up his mind to reject it. He bit down £ 20 m, and above that he had no choice but to give up on Thomas Vermaelen.
However, Arsène Wenger was really optimistic about Thomas Vermaelen and in the end Arsène Wenger added £ 1 m to the deal and agreed to buy Thomas Vermaelen for £ 21 m.
Seeing that Arsène Wenger agrees, Zhong Cheng is very excited.
In the next life, Thomas Vilmullen moved to Arsenal two years later at just £ 10 million. However, Thomas Vermaelen was no longer a central defender for Ajax at the time. The current Thomas Vermaelen is the main defender of the UEFA Cup Champions League and the main defender of the Premier League’s two consecutive champions. These glory points and his excellent performance will naturally increase his status by a lot.
However, in Zhong Cheng’s opinion, being able to sell for £ 21 million was already an astronomical price.
Of course, after the transfer was announced, most people still thought Arsenal made a good deal. At the very least, it is much better than Real Madrid’s 30 million euro move to a Portuguese Premier League centre-back, Pepe, who has proved himself in Europe and won the UEFA Cup as a regular.
