Chapter 245 Premier League Champion?

"Hakan Suk? Emre?"

Turan, the executive officer of Galatasaray, looked at the guests from England and asked in surprise.It's actually not a big deal to contact the club in the middle of the season.However, in the middle of the season, important figures in the club's transfer department were dispatched, and there were not many contacts with other clubs.

"Yes. You should know that our English club is different from clubs in other national leagues. The head coach is the boss. The head coach of our club has taken a fancy to your Hakan Suker and Emre Berozoglu. So I was just running errands. Isn't that what our transfer department does."

Richard answered Turan's words with a smile.

Yes, the person who is now negotiating with Galatasaray in Turkey is Richard Flynn, the head of Blackburn's transfer department.

"But it's still the season..."

Galatasaray is a strong team in Turkey and the overlord of Turkish football.But this is all internal.Since the Bosman Act, even Eredivisie giants like Ajax and Eindhoven have been at a disadvantage facing the five major European leagues.Not to mention a small Turkish giant.

In the face of poaching from the five major leagues, Galatasaray has nothing to do.

As long as the price is right, Galatasaray will not prevent players from transferring.

"Mr. Turan, don't worry. Our club's transfer fee will definitely be higher than any other club. Two people package, we will pay 100 million euros. You should know that after all, there are not many people paying attention to the Turkish League. We paid 100 million euros for each player, which is already a very high price. Hakan Suker 700 million euros, Emre 400 million euros."

Once negotiating, Richard is very serious.

Turan thought for a while, and the price was still fair.Although Hakan Suker is known as the best shooter outside of the five major leagues, he had a failed trip to Italy after all.Moreover, in those small league shooters who make the wind and rain, it happens from time to time that they perform poorly after reaching the five major leagues.

And Hakan Suk is not young anymore.There is not much room for development, 700 million euros is not very high, but it is not low either.

As for Emre, he is a new star.A rising star born in Turkey, now only 19 years old, this autumn will be 20 years old.Although he performed well in the Turkish league, he was even hailed as "Maradona of the Bosphorus".But after all, he is only a young player, and it is not bad to give 400 million euros.

But Turan can't do what the other party says, otherwise how to do business.

"Mr. Flynn, you have such a good vision. You immediately spotted the two best players in our club. Hakan Suker is the best center forward I have ever seen. Look at his height of 1.9 meters. How good. I don't think even in the Premier League you can find a better center forward than Hakan. And he can not only head the ball, but also the technique with his feet."

"Let's talk about Emre. He is a genius recognized throughout Turkey. You can go to Istanbul and ask anyone who doesn't know Emre. His nickname is little Maradona."

"I think Hakan Suker is worth 1000 million euros, and Emre should be worth more than 500 million euros."

Richard listened to Turan's words and secretly smiled.Hakan Suk is very strong in admitting this, but Richard is not convinced when he says that his air control ability ranks first in the Premier League.Blackburn's Klose's header ability is not weaker than Hakan Suker.

But thinking of George's entrustment, there is still a smile on his face.

"The price is a bit high. So I will go back and discuss it with the club. But I believe there is only a difference of 400 million euros between us, so there should be no problem."

…………

The aforementioned negotiations did not take place in March.But in February, Richard went to Galatasaray to talk.

Negotiations between them have been carried out several times, and the two teams have basically reached an agreement.Of course, it was only a verbal agreement, and in the end Blackburn made a lot of concessions.Richard and Turan eventually agreed on a price of 280 million euros.

Turan has agreed that Richard can meet with the two players to discuss personal conditions.

Both players are quite willing to go to Blackburn.After all, the Turkish league is not popular in Europe.And the results of the Premier League are getting better and better and more prosperous.They are of course eager to play in the Premier League.

However, when the two parties had just discussed their personal conditions, the time had unknowingly reached the end of March.

On March 3, Blackburn went to the Czech Republic to play the second match of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.Because Blackburn beat Slavia Prague 23-[-] in the first game, the second game was just a formality.

This is not only clear to Blackburn, but also to Slavia Prague.

Many of the main players in this game did not even go to the Czech Republic with George, but stayed in Blackburn to rest.In the away game Blackburn lost [-]-[-], but still scored [-]-[-] on aggregate and entered the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

At the same time, Arsenal beat Werder Bremen [-]-[-] on aggregate, Leeds United beat Celta Vigo [-]-[-] on aggregate, and Galatasaray beat Lens [-]-[-] on aggregate.

The UEFA Cup semi-final list is also out.Blackburn, Arsenal, Leeds United, and Galatasaray are considered three British battles against Lu Bu.Three Premier League teams and one Turkish team, the three Premier League teams are veritable three heroes, but whether Galatasaray is Lu Bu is a big question.

The semi-final matchup is also out.Blackburn face Arsenal, while Leeds meet Galatasaray.

Back in England, there will be the No.30 Premier League round two days later.

On April 3, Blackburn challenged Chelsea away.

Blackburn is crazy right now.Blackburn, who has good physical strength, performed well against the strong Chelsea.With a [-]-to-[-] victory, Vialli, who was already in the wind and rain, became even more turbulent.

However, Manchester United did not fall behind.Four to zero away victory over Bradford.Still one less game, one point behind Blackburn.

"George, I'm almost done talking now."

This was the most depressing time for Richard to negotiate.Before Blackburn bought players, there was no such trouble.When Jack Walker first took over Blackburn, he bought a lot of players.Among them are the heavyweight transfers of Shearer and Chris Sutton.

Richard has repeatedly succeeded in such heavyweight transfers.In addition to the support of Jack Walker, it is because of Richard's superb negotiation skills.

But this time the negotiation was very problematic.George let Richard talk, but didn't let him sign.Anyway, I used all kinds of excuses to talk slowly, which has been exhausting them.But not right away.

For this, Richard and Turan of Galatasaray can talk for several days for hundreds of thousands of euros.Richard is here because of George, so try to delay the time as much as possible.As for Turan, the end of the season is still early anyway.Hundreds of thousands is a small amount for Premier League clubs, but it is a large amount for Turkish clubs.

Under this kind of thinking, the two sides really talked about the things that had been discussed since February, and they were not finished until the end of March.

"You've met the players too, haven't you?"

George put down the documents in his hand and asked Richard with a smile.

"Well, I also met with the player's agent. Both of them are very willing to come to our club. Especially Emre is very happy. Hakan Suker hesitated for a while. I heard that Inter Milan is also interested. He's interested."

Richard still doesn't understand what George is going to do.So I didn't hide anything, and told George everything.

"You convinced him?"

"Well, Inter Milan is indeed a giant. But since it is a giant, the competition is fierce. The current Inter Milan strikers are full of talents. Which one of Ronaldo, Vieri, and Recoba is not a genius. I told him that Hakan Suker came Blackburn, you will definitely give him the main position."

George smiled.This sentence has never been said to Richard.

"Tell Galatasaray that the news of buying Hakan Suker will have a very bad impact on the current Blackburn striker. So after the end of the season, sign the contract."

"Delay for a while, wait until the semi-finals are over and let the wind out, saying that we have signed Hakan Suker and Emre from Galatasaray. Just give the news to Steven Yellen. He released the news It’s the news I released, and many people will believe it.”

When Richard heard George's words, what he had suspected before was gradually confirmed.A wicked smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was only a coach like George who did such a shameless thing.

Putting this matter aside, Blackburn soon ushered in the 32nd round of the Premier League.

Manchester United's game started first.Manchester United faced the extraordinary West Ham United at home, and the score of [-] to [-] made West Ham United lose their armor.Redknapp turned out to have small eyes, barely visible during the game.And the originally red face almost turned into a red apple at the end of the game.

The pressure came to Blackburn, and Blackburn failed to withstand the pressure in the end.Ferdinand pulled Quinn down in the penalty area and was sentenced to death by the referee.Sunderland beat Blackburn [-]-[-] on penalties.

After the game, George stood on the sidelines in a daze.

Although there are still six rounds left in the game, George already knows that the league champion is flying.One more game, but two points less than Manchester United.This is not so easy to chase the score.

Sure enough, in the supplementary match, Manchester United defeated Chelsea [-]-[-].

After the end of the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United is already five points ahead of Blackburn.Completely established the leading advantage.

All the media know that this season's Premier League title is already in Manchester United's pocket.In the remaining six rounds, Manchester United will not lose their five-point advantage anyway.Because that is Manchester United.
