Chapter 246 The Difficult Tottenham

"I talked with Atletico Madrid, but they are not that sincere. Their transfer fee this summer is not much, so they can't come up with a transfer fee that satisfies Tottenham. 1000 million euros, this is their price... ...But Tottenham set a price of 4000 million euros for you, so..." For Lu Chen's transfer, Kurt spent most of his time flying in the sky.No, he who was still in Spain yesterday came to England today.

In fact, it's not impossible to talk about this kind of thing on the phone, but Kurt thinks that talking face-to-face is more responsible for his players.

Lu Chen had expected this result a long time ago, so he was not surprised by what Kurt said.

"Then I won't go..." The scholar died for his confidant, since they didn't believe in Lu Chen, why should he put his face on someone's cold ass.

Kurt only thought that Lu Chen was playing a child's temper, and he would be fine after a while.But Lu Chen is serious, let alone that he is not a teenage player, even if he is, he has the ability to be responsible for his own future.

In such a situation where no one believed in him, Lu Chen even had the idea of ​​staying in Munich 1860. At least the people there, from the fans to the executives, believed that he could return to his peak state.

How important trust is to Lu Chen when he suddenly fell to the bottom on the way to the top.

The transfer period is almost over, and there is still no team that can satisfy all three parties. It seems that Lu Chen will obey the club's arrangement next season and be loaned out...

"Lease? Yes! It's a loan!" Kurt suddenly thought of an idea that could satisfy both Atletico Madrid and Tottenham.

That is to rent first and buy later!
The rent-to-buy model is similar to an ordinary lease contract, but there will be a buyout clause in the middle of the contract.It's like a trial, first on loan for a season, and if both parties are satisfied, then Atletico Madrid can pay a certain transfer fee to buy out Lu Chen's ownership...

Kurt discussed his idea with Lu Chen, and Lu Chen didn't have any opinion on it, even though his sense of Atletico Madrid is not very good now.

"You can figure it out, just let me kick the ball..." Lu Chen shrugged and said it didn't matter.

The next day Kurt went to Daniel Levy to talk about it. Levy is not the sports director of Tottenham, but the chairman of the team.

In today's European football, almost no club chairman will be so closely involved in the daily operations of the club, especially in the business of buying and selling players.Although Tottenham have a sports director who serves as the transfer, the transfer expenses and budget must be decided by Levi.

In the transfer market, the word Levi can almost be equated with shrewdness, stinginess, stinginess and Grandet.His own fans respect him as a god, and other fans regard him as a devil. He is such a magical existence.

So in the matter of Lu Chen's transfer, Levi's Jewish characteristics were brought into play again.

He didn't want Lu Chen to fall into his hands, but he also didn't want others to take advantage of it for nothing.

What he meant was to ask Lu Chen to go to another league to re-experience. If he can return to the top, it doesn't matter whether he takes it back for his own use or sells it.

But Lu Chen's injury was too serious, he didn't dare to bet...

You can tell by looking at Levi's operation for several years. He is a person who reaches out from under the coffin board - desperate for money.

In 2008, Manchester United wanted to take away from Tottenham the handsome brother Berbatov who "plays football without sweating and sweating without kicking". Ferguson personally started negotiations with Tottenham.

With the player already expressing his intention to leave, Levi kept raising the price he wanted, which caused the deal to be delayed until the last day before the transfer window was closed.The transfer fee was 500 million pounds more than Manchester United's initial offer, and the well-informed Ferguson also made such a speech: "The deal with Levi is almost a nightmare."

However, Levi is not so shrewd when he is selling stars. His eyes have already deposited every opportunity to make money.

In 2003, the 17-year-old Arsenal youth team captain Jamie O'Hara joined the North London rivals. In 2011, he couldn't find a place in Tottenham, he ended his half-year loan with Wolves, and continued to play for the team as a free agent.

Just after the two parties had signed a new contract, the witty Levi discovered that in the expiring contract between Tottenham and O'Hara, there was still an item that the team could give priority to renewing the contract for one year.

Then, the Heat activated the entry, and O'Hara and the new owner looked confused.The Wolves had to sit on the negotiating table and paid Tottenham an extra £500 million in transfer fees.

This piece is created out of nothing, I give him [-] points, not afraid of his pride.

But do Tottenham have no money?
The answer is of course no.

Until now, 85.55% of Tottenham’s shares still belong to ENIC Group, which is an international investment company from the United Kingdom, which is involved in various financial fields such as foreign exchange.The owners of the ENIC Group are two bosses who also have Jewish ancestry. The major shareholder is Joe Lewis, who holds 70.6% of the shares, and the minority shareholder is Daniel Levy, who holds 29.4% of the shares.

Lewis holds more than 200 companies around the world, owns more than 130 restaurants, and collects works of art by Picasso, Cézanne and others worth hundreds of millions of dollars.According to Forbes' assessment, his net worth is about US$50 billion, which is enough to rank in the top five richest people in the UK.In the horizontal comparison of Premier League bosses, Lewis' wealth is about twice that of Liverpool boss Henry and half that of Chelsea boss Abramovich.

It’s just that unlike professional sports investor Henry and Abramovich who is crazy about football, although ENIC Group has successively held shares in Glasgow Rangers, AEK Athens, Basel and other clubs, Lewis still has no interest in football.His hobbies are not football, but sailing around the world on a luxury yacht while stirring financial waves from his mobile office.

Oh, by the way, Lewis's office is the luxury cruise ship he often takes... This is something that would be unimaginable for ordinary people.

Therefore, because of the above reasons, since the acquisition of Tottenham, the task of managing the club has been handed over to Levi.And when the big boss has no fun in spending money compared to other bosses, Levi has brought the wisdom of the Jews to the extreme in the football world.

"I agree to rent first and then sell, but the transfer fee will be higher than what I said before! The buyout fee of 5000 million euros is not less than a pound!" Kurt's contact with Levi these few times can be regarded as insight The Jew was so difficult that he wouldn't even meet Levi once if he could.

But he was doing this job, and he had to hold back his nausea and continue negotiating with Levi.
