Chapter 351 The Professor's Ambition

However, Wenger in the office here is also distressed. He recalled the past few difficult seasons:

"Arsenal, I really don't want to let my players go to Arsenal. You Arsenal are too stingy, with a weekly salary of only 11 pounds. Tsk tsk tsk."

Since getting rid of that nasty Jerome Anderson, Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal.But although Wenger is now in charge of power, he is tired.

Although Jerome Anderson relied on David Dunn's relationship to dominate Arsenal's transfer market, and sometimes even influenced Wenger's transfer strategy.But David Dunn is a real and powerful figure in English football. He needs ability, ability, and connections.When Wenger fell in love with a certain player before, David Dunn and Jerome Anderson came out to negotiate, and they were still very good at the negotiating table.Basically, David Dunn can satisfy all the players Wenger wants.

But the current Arsenal CEO Gazidis is from the United States.This person is also No. [-] in the sports world. He used to participate in the establishment of the Major League Soccer and was responsible for market development.The biggest skill is the strong business development ability. In history, Arsenal began to have enough funds to introduce players after a few years, which has a lot to do with Gazidis' strong business development ability.This person has brought several heavyweight sponsorships to Arsenal.

But this buddy was born in business development after all, and he doesn't have any connections in European football. He is always a step behind in transfer negotiations, or it is too late to negotiate successfully.

In addition, the original Arsenal was the most difficult time.Because of the short-term loan pressure of Arsenal's new players, Arsenal had to control Arsenal's salary system and had to be cautious in the transfer market.

The introduction of players is either due to Arsenal's outstanding performance, and the players have taken a fancy to Arsenal's championship ability.But Arsenal's performance was a little bit bad at the time. Basically, the championship was the League Cup and the FA Cup, and the League and Champions League were drifting away.Since the grades are not good, you must at least have money.However, Arsenal has no money at this stage, and Gazidis' poor negotiation ability makes it more and more difficult for Arsenal to sign in.

"Jorge, as far as I know, San Diego's annual salary in Villarreal is only 200 million euros."

Wenger smiled.Wenger has sold a lot of players in several seasons.The most outstanding among them are of course Adebayor and Baptista.The two heavyweight players were sold, and there was an immediate transfer fee income of 6000 million euros.

Now Arsenal has no money, so Wenger is spending money.Adebayor is sold, but Wenger is not prepared to bring in a backup striker.It's like not bringing in a backup striker after selling Henry that summer.Wenger has enough confidence in his disciples.

For example, Arsenal's talented center forward Bendtner, Van Persie who has changed from a winger to a shadow forward, and Bell who can hit the side.The existence of these players made Wenger give up his plan to introduce an outstanding striker, and instead set his sights on the middle.The departure of Baptista made Wenger take a fancy to Cazorla, the core frontcourt player of Villarreal.

Wenger is rich now, and La Liga players, like the Bundesliga, are not worth very much.A player who performs like Cazorla, if he plays in the Premier League, or has English nationality.The worth has long been more than 4000 million euros.But he is only a player of Villarreal, so his worth is not so outrageous.Wenger finally got Cazorla at a price of 1900 million euros.And Cazorla's weekly salary has become [-] pounds.

In the past few seasons, Wenger's investment in the transfer market has been negative, let alone investment.In the past few seasons, Arsenal has earned nearly [-] million euros in the transfer market alone.The stars sold are one after another, starting from Ashley Cole to Henry, Adebayor, and Baptista.Each one left huge sums of money for Arsenal.

"However, Arsenal. Your salary at Arsenal is still too low. Players like Cesc Fabregas and Nasri won't be able to keep players like Fabregas and Nasri if they don't pay more than £[-] a week."

"It's all those damn upstarts."

If it is said that the person who hates Chelsea and Manchester City the most in European football is definitely Wenger.When Wenger and Arsenal planned the new stadium, the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City was not included in the calculation.

Their entry has greatly increased the transfer fees of players in European football.Salary hikes.If it weren't for their rise, Arsenal would not be as difficult as it is now.Wenger can also buy low and sell high according to his previous practice, which can not only maintain Arsenal's performance, but also prevent Arsenal from having financial difficulties.It's a pity that the entry of Chelsea and Manchester City has made Arsenal's wishful thinking come to nothing.Now Arsenal can't keep good players because of salary issues, and if they can't keep good players, they can't keep the team's performance.This is already a vicious cycle.If it wasn't for Wenger and Li Yuxin staying behind, Arsenal would have been fine in the past few years, otherwise they might have been supervised by the bank long ago.

"But it's true. I heard that David Silva's agent just finished negotiating David Silva's contract with Manchester City recently. Do you know how much Manchester City's salary is?"

Months of talks between Mendes and City have begun to bear fruit.The simplest of these is David Silva's salary issue.When he joined Manchester City last summer, his weekly salary was only £[-].However, he performed well in Manchester City this season, and he did not appear to be unable to adapt to the Premier League due to his thin body, as many critics believed.Instead the first season in the Premier League.He scored five goals and eleven assists.

Therefore, his contract was changed the fastest, even Manchester City automatically changed it for him.Therefore, it is Mendes' player and Manchester City's player who completed the salary negotiation the fastest this summer.In the end, David Silva and Manchester City signed a new four-year contract, and Silva's weekly salary changed from 15 pounds to 23 pounds.Only [-] years old, David Silva has leapt into the Premier League's high-paid family.

"I heard. Is it £14?"

"No, it's £15."

Wenger shook his head.Although David Silva performed well, he was still much worse than Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas.But now Cesc Fabregas' weekly salary is only 15 pounds, which is still the second highest in Arsenal.Now Arsenal and Fabregas are negotiating, Arsenal is willing to give Fabregas a salary increase, but it is also a weekly salary of [-] pounds.It is completely incomparable with David Silva's £[-].

"Jorge, you know? This is completely against the laws of football."

"Arsena, you have studied economics. Isn't the so-called law of football now to see who is richer? You will get more surprising news in a few days."

…………

The more surprising news was not only heard by Wenger, but also heard by the entire Premier League. On July 2009, 7, Manchester City's official website announced the introduction of their midfielder Yaya Toure from Barcelona at a price of 29 million euros.

There is nothing too surprising about this transfer, because Manchester City have made many amazing transfers.Since Mansour entered Manchester City.In just two years, Manchester City has already spent more than 4000 million euros in the transfer market.Among them are Tevez, Modric, Thiago Silva and other players worth more than [-] million euros, so the impact of Yaya Toure's transfer is not as great as them.

So Yaya Toure's transfer to Manchester City everyone just thinks that Manchester City has started spending money again.View from Barcelona.The rise of Busquets, a young player in Barcelona last season, even began to replace Yaya Toure's main position at the end of the season.Yaya Toure's departure was no surprise.

More importantly, Barcelona has spent more than 1400 million euros in the transfer market this summer.In addition to the introduction of Ziglinski and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Barcelona bought Maxwell and introduced the young striker Kerrison at a price of [-] million euros.

In the current European football, Barcelona is not very rich, not comparable to Real Madrid, nor Manchester United and Bayern.It wasn't that profitable last season either.That being the case, it is definitely necessary to clean up some players to balance the finances.In addition to purging some veterans and young players, Barcelona sold the valuable Yaya Toure.

The front side is still normal, but when some details of the contract between Yaya Toure and Manchester City were announced, this really caused an uproar.Because Yaya Toure and Manchester City signed a five-year contract.Yaya Toure's weekly salary is 22 pounds.According to this contract, Yaya Toure's annual salary after tax in Manchester City has reached nearly 600 million pounds.

If it was a strong pound back then, the salary would have been very high.But with the recent depreciation of the pound, one pound can now only be exchanged for 1 euros.It can be said that the depreciation of the pound has caused the salaries of Premier League players to drop too much.

But Yaya Toure's salary is not just that, there are a lot of additional terms behind him.In addition to salary.Yaya Toure will receive a portrait rights share worth £165 million (including jersey sales).If Manchester City can break through the Champions League group stage, Yaya Toure will receive a bonus of 113 million pounds; if Manchester City wins the Europa League, Yaya Toure will receive a bonus of 412 million pounds.Of course, if Manchester City wins the Premier League or the FA Cup unplanned, Yaya Toure will also get a lot of extra income, far exceeding the bonus of the Europa League champion.The above income is after tax.

In other words, as long as Manchester City can break through the Champions League group stage next season, Yaya Toure's income from Manchester City will exceed 800 million pounds.Of course, if you accidentally win the FA Cup or the Premier League.At that time, he can get nearly ten million pounds from Manchester City.These are after-tax income.In other words, as long as Manchester City performs well next season, Yaya Toure's salary can be compared with Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka.

After Yaya Toure's contract came out, it really shocked the entire football world.Needless to say, it caused a stir in English football.After all, this is the first player in the Premier League with a weekly salary of more than 20 pounds. Such a huge contract directly rewrote the history of the Premier League.

Needless to say, Mendes, all the agents in this transfer can be said to have made a lot of money.Yaya Toure's contract came out, and all European football agents thanked their colleagues again.Just like when Mendes transferred Pepe to Real Madrid for 3000 million euros.All the brokers were ecstatic.Because this transfer further promoted the high value of the players.Since Pepe transferred to Real Madrid for 3000 million euros, player transfers have far exceeded the market price, giving agents countless opportunities to operate, and commissions have also risen accordingly.

And this time, all the football agents applauded.Because David Silva created a player with a weekly salary of 22 pounds, this will inevitably lead to an increase in the salary of the entire player.Especially the agents who do business in the Premier League are very happy.Their players will also have high salaries, and their salary share will be greatly increased.It can be said that the current Mendes has become a weather vane in terms of player transfer and salary in European football.

"It turned out to be this."

Wenger shook his head.A few days ago, Mendes said that there was more surprising news, which is what he said.Wenger really smiled wryly, Mendes and these agents should all be arrested and shot. A weekly salary of 22 pounds is crazy.

Moreover, European football is linked together.Originally, many giants and strong teams wanted to keep a low profile this summer and give UEFA a little face first.But it is precisely because Real Madrid and Barcelona have invested heavily in signings that they have poached players from other wealthy teams, and the wealthy teams have begun to poach players from other clubs.As a result, the transfer market in European football has become lively again.

Hey, the professor is also troubled. Since his glory in 06, now the team has indeed won a small triple crown in 07 after Wu Guan in 08, four consecutive league cups in 09, the FA Cup in 11, and two Champions League finals. The past two years have been better, and they have brought in Buffon and Cazorla.

And to win the championship is inseparable from Arsenal's only superstar's own disciple. Thinking of this, Wenger decided to visit Li Yuxin's house after returning home!

And here, Li Yuxin's home, Mendes brought a new contract
After all, it is not just one or two who are staring at Li Yuxin now.Real Madrid has already started contacting Li Yuxin's agent, and Barcelona is also in contact with Arsenal to see if they can introduce Li Yuxin by taking advantage of their good relationship with the Arsenal club.

As for the rich Manchester City, they are also hooking up with Li Yuxin.Even Manchester City has released news.As long as Li Yuxin is willing to come to Manchester City, Manchester City is willing to offer Li Yuxin a weekly salary of 22 pounds.

This makes Arsenal very vigilant.

So in this negotiation, Mendes has a lot of chips in his hand.And Arsenal must keep Li Yuxin.Not to mention Li Yuxin's contribution in the competitive arena, even his financial contribution is far more than any other player.

So Arsenal made a lot of concessions this time.

Li Yuxin looked at his salary.Reached 14 pounds, still Arsenal's highest salary.Although it cannot be compared with the superstars of other giants in the Premier League, there is no player in Arsenal whose salary can be compared with Li Yuxin.

Then in terms of other aspects of the share, Arsenal gave up a lot.Give Li Yuxin a few percent more.That's not a lot of money.It has increased Li Yuxin's income by several million pounds a year.

Including salary, Li Yuxin can get about tens of millions of pounds from Arsenal every year.

The income received from the club is countable in the entire Premier League.

But Arsenal didn't care.Because they gave Li Yuxin so much money, but Li Yuxin earned tens of millions of pounds for Arsenal every year.

"Jorge, I think it's about the same. It can be signed."

Li Yuxin is only 24 years old now, but Li Yuxin, who has been a man for two generations, has his own plan for his career.
