The price of the new player is still unknown.
"Chiellini is 7 million euros, Deisler is 11 million euros." Morse answered Li Shiguang's question without hesitation.
Such a quick answer made Li Shiguang stunned. It seems that Morse has made up his mind to buy it. He didn't even consider the offer, but Morse's offer still did not meet Li Shiguang's expectations.
So he replied calmly: "Mr. Morse, Chiellini is 12 million euros, Deisler is 18 million euros, this is an ideal price."
The current market is not like 10 years later. The era when defenders are worth 60 or 70 million euros has not yet arrived. AC Milan spent 30.5 million euros to buy Nesta from Lazio in 2002, which is the peak of defenders' value in recent years. But in Li Shiguang's mind, Liverpool's offer must reach 3-4 times the price he paid for Chiellini last year, otherwise no deal!
But Deisler, 18 million euros is the bottom price in Li Shiguang's mind. It's not that the player is worth this price, but mainly because he used the only injury recovery card on him. The system product is worth 9 million euros at least.
In fact, Deisler has indeed played strong data in the past two months, otherwise Liverpool would not have made an offer, and with Liverpool's current lineup, they really lack such an attacker who can break through, pass, shoot and organize in the midfield, so Li Shiguang thinks this price is very reasonable.
But Morse immediately retorted: "Mr. Li, these two prices are a bit exaggerated. Manchester United sold Stam to AC Milan for only 10.5 million euros this year. In your heart, Chiellini, a 21-year-old boy, is more valuable than Stam? And as far as I know, you only spent a few million euros to take Deisler from Bayern. In just 2 or 3 months, his value has doubled???"
Li Shiguang was still calm: "Mr. Morse, isn't it the data that speaks on the football field? I believe you also have the specific data of these two players on the field. I think this price is very reasonable!"
This reply made the other end of the phone fall into silence. The only sound that could be heard was Morse's slight breathing and the sound of flipping papers.
After a while, Morse's voice came from the phone again: "Chiellini 10 million euros, Deisler 15 million euros, this is the highest price I can accept."
Seeing that Morse was a little loose, Li Shiguang did not push too hard, but his tone was still firm: "I accept Chiellini's offer, but for Deisler, I will only accept an offer of no less than 18 million euros. If Liverpool cannot reach this offer, I would rather keep him. I believe there are other clubs eyeing him."
Li Shiguang has figured out Morse's psychology. After all, Liverpool's current results are not very good. He must strengthen the lineup in the winter, and Li Shiguang's asking price is not too outrageous.
But the money spent is real money. If you can spend less, who would be willing to spend more?
So next, the two began to pull each other frantically. After some bargaining, they finally settled Chiellini's transfer price at 10 million euros. But Deisler, due to Li Shiguang's insistence, the two could not reach an agreement until the end.
Later, Morse did not insist. According to Li Shiguang, only Liverpool was seeking to buy Deisler. Anyway, there was still some time before the winter window. Since Li Shiguang could not convince him, he could take another route and arrange to contact the player quietly. After all, Liverpool is a wealthy club. I believe that few players can refuse the invitation from a wealthy club. If the player himself also wants to seek a transfer, he can also put pressure on the team.
After returning home that day, Li Shiguang received a call from Chiellini.
"Boss, I just received a call from my agent. He said that Liverpool contacted him and asked me if I was willing to transfer to Liverpool. It was you who brought me to England. I don't want to hide this from you." Chiellini's tone was a little excited, but Li Shiguang could also feel the uneasiness in his words.
Li Shiguang cursed Morse in his heart. The old man was so fast. As soon as I agreed, he contacted Chiellini's agent! At the same time, he had some feelings. After all, they were the first group of people to follow him. For the players,
Speaking of such a sensitive matter, Chiellini actually informed me at the first time.
So Li Shiguang didn't want to put pressure on him, and said with a little joking: "Gio, I already knew about this matter earlier. As long as you don't have any objections, I support it. You don't have to feel guilty. You are not leaving the team as a free agent. Liverpool paid the money, but you can't play badly for the rest of the time, otherwise I will put you on the bench. Hahahaha~~"
Before dialing this phone, Chiellini was actually quite embarrassed. On one side is his own mentor, and on the other side is the temptation of higher salary and being able to play directly in the Champions League. The main reason is that next year is the World Cup year. If there is no blessing from the Champions League, Italy's back line may not even be a substitute! So after receiving the call from his agent, Chiellini's heart suddenly became hot.
But after hearing Li Shiguang's answer, Chiellini's guilt was relieved, and he immediately said that he would still work hard in the remaining time at Leeds United, and would definitely go all out in the game as before, and would never slack off!
Chiellini did as he promised in the training in the next few days, and was not affected by the upcoming transfer. He was still conscientious and serious. This professional attitude also made Li Shiguang admire him very much. His previous worries disappeared, so he still put him in the starting lineup for the away game against Portsmouth.
But he found that Deisler was a little abnormal in these days.
In fact, after knowing that a verbal agreement was reached, Liverpool quickly contacted Chiellini's agent, and Li Shiguang also thought about whether they would contact Deisler privately again.
Although the English Football Association explicitly prohibits clubs from communicating with players privately before reaching a specific agreement, in fact, such things are still common. Chelsea contacted Ashley Cole privately without informing Arsenal, which caused a sensation. In the end, Ashley Cole was punished by Arsenal, and Li Shiguang himself had done this before.
In the training in recent days, Deisler always seemed a little absent-minded. At first, Li Shiguang thought he was physically unwell, but after checking the system, he found that Deisler's panel had no changes.
This made Li Shiguang have to think about that aspect...
