Chapter 30: Summer Raiders

   Torres, Madrid, Spain.

   Olaya was cooking. Torres was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The phone rang. Torres glanced at Jose, so she turned off the TV and walked to the balcony with her mobile phone.

   As soon as he was connected, he heard Jose exclaimed: "Liverpool has officially offered to buy, 22 million pounds, Fernando, you may become the king of transfer this summer! Liverpool is determined to win for you."

   Torres was overjoyed. Who wouldn’t want to be more expensive? This shows his value and success, and then he asked: “So how did the club react?”

"The problem is not big. After all, we have already hinted to the club that we are leaving this summer. The club will not set up obstacles. You are the golden boy of Atletico Madrid. As long as there is an offer worthy of your status, the club will not set up obstacles. It depends on whether other clubs follow up," said over the phone.

   Torres said: "Are there other clubs offering prices?"

Jose said: "There will definitely be, I think Real Madrid, Manchester United and so on may offer prices, but the sincerity is estimated to be average. Manchester United's current striker is Cristiano Ronaldo, and what is missing is the midfielder. Real Madrid's desire for you is not one. It’s been two days, but you never want to go. I haven’t heard of other clubs."

   Torres took over: "My personal wish is to go to Liverpool"

   Jose said over there, "Well, there will be no big surprises. You can wait for the news."

   Torres put down the phone and turned to see Olaya leaning at the door looking at her. He walked over and smiled at her and said, "Baby, we may be going to England."

   Olaya held Torres's waist, looked at him and said softly: "As long as it is good for your development, I am willing to go anywhere."

  ……

   The summer transfer period is about to begin, and Melwood is busy again. Now it is mainly operating summer transfers. Due to the need to clean up the failed signings in the past few years, this year's work is particularly onerous.

Benitez and Parry are discussing the progress of the work in the conference room. Cisse has reached an agreement with Marseilles, Pangler has reached an agreement with Recreativo, Mark Gonzalez has also reached an agreement with Betis, Bellamy The official transfer to West Ham has only been reported.

These are transfers and departures that have already been implemented. These people either performed averagely or have difficulty adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League. It is difficult to help Liverpool anymore. It is more beneficial for the team to recycle funds after a transfer, otherwise it is not in the locker room. Stability factor.

The more troublesome is mainly Risser. Risser’s condition has declined severely this year, but he has not found a suitable buyer. The other is the team’s third goalkeeper Carlson and midfielder Sissoko. Sissoko is strong. , The defense is also very good, but it is a bit inconsistent with Benitez's philosophy, because the technology is too rough, and Benitez is on loan to Mascherano, so Sissoko seems less important.

Parry forgot and said: "Rafa, Cisse, Pangele, Gonzalez, Bellamy’s transfer funds should be about the same as Torres’ purchase price, but too many people have left. The thickness will be affected"

   Benitez is a little helpless, it's useless to keep this group of people, the main force does not meet your requirements, as a substitute? I want to be so extravagant..., ignoring the random thoughts in his mind, Benitez said: "One Torres is better than four of them. We need stars to break through. Regarding the substitution rotation, we just need to be healthy. It is enough. Up."

Parry said: "Torres, Atletico has yet to give a final answer, but I believe that we will not be far from our offer. After Atletico responds, I will personally negotiate and implement it! After all, he is our top priority this year. ."

Benitez has not wanted Torres for a year or two, and solemnly said: "We must win Torres this year. In addition, Hypia is getting older. The progress of Scotter’s transfer must be stepped up. If the transfer can be reached in the summer. It will be the best, if not, we will follow up again in winter"

   Parry frowned and said: "You still want to bring in Gremio's Lucas. In that case, our transfer funds are estimated to be insufficient. The club board of directors can provide only a few million pounds this year."

"Let’s start the transfer negotiations for Riese, Carlson, Sissoko, and Pennant. I will tell them that they won’t have their place next season. I think the recovered funds are enough to bring in Scotter and Lucas. Regarding the wing, the main follow-up to West Ham’s Benayoun." Benitez is already preparing to rebuild the frontcourt of the team. After two years of hardship, he will turn his head and look at Professor Wen when he feels uncomfortable. ~

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Parry’s transfer assistant walked in with a fax and said to them: “Boss, Rafa, Atletico Madrid just sent a fax and agreed in principle to Torres’ transfer. Yes, but it is requested that Luis Garcia be included in the transaction as a supplement to our purchase of Torres"

   Parry took the fax to check, and Benitez said anxiously: "No, then our wing will be weaker, and there are too few people to rotate, and it's almost impossible to end the season."

Parry pondered for a moment and said: "Garcia will be 30 next year, or if you consider introducing a substitute, now Garcia can still sell the price, in another year, it will not be easy. I will try my best to negotiate with Atletico Madrid. , So how can your funds on hand be more generous"

  ……

   The transfer market is always happy and sad, but this year is relatively quieter than in previous years. Arsenal's Henry the Great finally finished his journey at Highbury and switched to Barcelona.

  Ferguson started hoarding midfielders to fill Keane’s vacancy, Chelsea? Busy and awkward, nothing happened to them this year.

   Ribery 25 million euros fell into the arms of Bayern.

   Liverpool is still very attractive to stars. After all, it is a traditional giant, and the Champions League has been exceptionally strong in recent years. It has become a favorite for Premier League champions every year. The fan base is huge. No one wants to come to such a club.

   One week after the start of the transfer period, Liverpool has finalized several consecutive transfers:

   Cisse moved to Marseille with 6.5 million pounds.

   Bellamy's 7.2 million pound move to West Ham.

   Gonzalez moved to Betis for 4 million.

   Pangler moved 3 million pounds to Recreativo.

   Dudek free transfer to Real Madrid.

   Carlson moved to Charlton for £2 million.

   Voronin joined Liverpool on a free transfer.

   Benayoun moved 5.5 million pounds from West Ham to Liverpool.

   At the beginning of the transfer period, there were two in and six outs, and Liverpool fans suddenly became worried. Is it possible that the club’s economy is in trouble and has to be sold to repay the debt? Various tabloid news is also catching the eye, claiming that Liverpool's debt has been out of control and a crisis is about to break out!

   Helplessly, Parry had to hold a press conference to emphasize that Liverpool’s finances are not problematic. At the same time, he promised the media and fans that Liverpool are making several heavyweight transfers. Liverpool has not always been a club that survives by selling people. This dispelled the fans’ doubts.

At this time Liverpool has already started training, Maqin was successfully transferred to the first team, and his contract officially took effect. However, due to the situation at the time, this contract was not suitable for the first team because the terms of various bonuses were not very clear. , But Chen Zixuan was about to give birth, and Peter couldn't take up the post, so he had to drag it first and wait for the first team to watch.

   A week after the training camp, Liverpool announced two important transfers.

   Lucas £8.4 million was transferred from Gremio to Liverpool.

   Jose Enrique joined Liverpool with 5 million pounds. History has been changed. Originally, because Bei Bale did not sell Riese this season, his pursuit of Enrique was not very urgent, but now that Bei Bale has decided to sell Riese, he must find a replacement. Originally, Newcastle was pursuing him. After Liverpool joined, Enrique came to Benitez without even thinking about it.

   When Enrique came, Riise finally gave up, and signed the contract with Rome, 4.8 million pounds joined Rome.

Sissoko considered it for a while. Now there are the main players Alonso and Gerrard in the midfield, and now Mascherano and Lucas are coming, so he decided to go to Juventus, which can give him the main position. The transfer fee is 8 million pounds.

   In mid-July, under the attention of everyone, Liverpool and Atletico finally reached an agreement, the Atletico Madrid Golden Boy moved to Liverpool!

  Liverpool fans are excited, Torres, who has gained fame in La Liga and Europe for so many years, and at the age of 23, when he was in his prime, Liverpool suddenly found his own striker for ten years!

  The two sides finally confirmed that Torres transferred from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool for £23.5 million, and Luis Garcia transferred to Atletico Madrid for 6 million pounds!

   Benitez's drastic reconstruction this year has finally basically completed the replacement of Liverpool! Now as long as he brings back the replacement of Hypia, Skrtel, and then introduces a first-class sideline, Benitez's transformation of Liverpool is complete.

  Liverpool is lively in summer, the media helped to figure it out, and finally found out that Liverpool still made a few million pounds in profit this summer?

This is a big deal. The British media have given full marks to Benitez’s transfer operations this season, eliminating a series of marginal players, in exchange for first-class superstars and young and strong potential newcomers, Liverpool’s lineup It's reasonable.

   earn money? This concept is definitely not taken seriously by Benitez, I am not a club shareholder, I am only responsible for the competitive results! So Benitez has been wondering how to spend this money.

Now he has two options, one is to bring Scotter over, the other is to buy a good wing, choose one of the two, Benitez thinks about it, decided to attack Scotter, after all, good guards are coming There are fewer good offensive players than good defensive players.

So just a few days later, Liverpool brought Scotter with a record transfer price of 6.5 million pounds for a defender~www.readwn.com~ Now Benitez feels comfortable, and Parry is a little depressed. Many people don’t have a penny left, and they have a small two million in it. If you are not in charge, you don’t know if chai rice is expensive~

Before the transfer deadline, Pennant, who was very reluctant, transferred to Zaragoza La Liga at a cost of 3 million pounds, finally making up for the transfer deficit this season and making a small profit of one million. Then, Benitez used 2 million pounds to introduce Argentine teenager Leto from the left, (⊙﹏⊙)b

   So far, Liverpool's summer transfer this season has been completed.

Compared to the previous two years, Liverpool this season is almost equivalent to half of the team’s reconstruction, with more than ten people entering and leaving. Benitez also took this opportunity to almost compulsorily complete the rejuvenation of the entire team, because if not this year Yes, in another two years, he really doesn't know if the club has a chance to complete this step. Under the premise of being able to operate now, Benitez made this decision with great courage.

   Benitez’s ability to build a team is worthy of recognition. Historically, as long as he is supported by the club, he will do well in Chelsea and Naples in the future.
