Chapter 184 Striker Problem (Part 2)
Chapter 184: Frontline Problem (Part 2)
After rejecting Liverpool, he was not worried that Benitez would give up. Because he knew that Liverpool now needs a striker like Crouch.
Sure enough, Liverpool's second offer was soon placed in front of Donne and Evan. This time, Liverpool offered a price that the current Forest team could hardly refuse: 11.5 million pounds!
Looking at the offer, Don Evan looked up and smiled and said, "The new European champion is indeed heroic."
Evan nodded: "How is Crouch?"
"I haven't asked yet, but I don't think Crouch and his agent will reject Liverpool's terms. The contracts they offered are much better than what we give him now."
Speaking of salary and benefits, the two people's attention has shifted from Crouch's transfer to the team's salary structure adjustment.
"What restricts the team's development now is not whether the transfer fee is enough, but the player's salary. Evan, if we can't give players a higher salary, no matter how much championship promise I pay them, it will not attract them to join.
This world is very realistic, you should know better than me. Professional players, playing football is a job, to make money to support their families.”
"Well... I'm considering this issue too. The club allows you to give you a higher salary cap. As for players who have signed, they can slowly adjust it through renewal..."
The two discussed how much the highest salary standard should be set, and agreed to sell Crouch to cash out.
The next day, Nottingham Forest responded to Liverpool's club and agreed to Liverpool's offer. Now Benitez can negotiate contract details with Crouch's agent. There is no matter what the Forest and Done have.
Crouch's departure from the Forests is almost a foregone conclusion. Benitez spent 11.5 million pounds to solve Liverpool's forward problem. And Don has to continue to have a headache with the striker, but he is really having nowhere to spend money.
The striker is related to a team's goals and indirectly to the team's performance. This position is very important, so Tang En's requirements are also very strict. You can't just find a second-rate striker from the domestic league.
Because Forest team wants to play in the European Champions League this season, it is best to find a forward with European experience. It is not enough to be too young. Forest team does not lack young forwards. Now the Forest team's requirement is that it is the year of playing, and there is no need to train the team anymore, and it can fight when it comes.
There are many forwards in European football and world football, and there are also many excellent forwards, but with these conditions, few of them meet Tang En's requirements.
If the Forests don't play in the Champions League, Donn can also buy Hailewood back from West Ham United, after all, Hailewood is also a speed striker.
And I believe that if the Forest team issued a call, he would be happy to return to the city stadium and play under Tang En.
However, in Don't see Halewood, he was still a little short of what he asked for.
Just when Donn was at a loss for signing the team's forward line, Nottingham Forest Club received a call. The man on the other end claimed to be French scorer Nicholas; Anelka's agent, Hope to Tony; Donn talked about Anelka's intention to transfer to the Forest.
When he heard the news, Tang En was stunned for a long time. When he was looking for a suitable striker, he turned his searching eyes around the world football world, but he didn't even think of the name of Anelka.
The Frenchman who is far away from the mainstream European football circle seems to have been forgotten by the whole world.
He vaguely remembers that at the last moment when the winter transfer window closed last season, Anelka transferred from Manchester City to Türkiye's Fenerbahce.
It's only half a season, what? Anelka's two agent brothers can't stand the loneliness again?
