To dig De Bruyne, Southampton's refusal attitude is very firm.

And to dig Otamendi, Southampton's attitude is more ambiguous, did not say not to sell, did not say must sell, just said that Otamendi's contract has three years, and his transfer value is not high. Low, he is our main force and so on.

After hearing this, Manchester City understood.

Spending money is nothing to Manchester City. As long as you don't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a player, or just tens of millions to buy a player, Manchester City's management actually doesn't care much whether it is a loss or a profit.

Therefore, during the negotiation process, Manchester City was very wealthy and finally paid 500 million pounds, almost 400 million euros. Ji Ya was very satisfied with this figure, but after two years he knew that he was conservative. Manchester City Bought a bunch of 6000 million-level central defenders, which made Ji Ya feel that he should pay more for Otamendi.

Kiya is not worried about selling Otamendi and having Van Dijk fill in, but he has already planned to loan out both Chilwell and Peters. These two are 19 years old and the other is only playing in Southampton. Ten or so cup games is too much waste, we should go to the British Championship to practice more.

So either buy a backup full-back or buy a backup centre-back.

At first Southampton and Queens Park Rangers were discussing the joining of Caulker, but despite being relegated, Queens Park Rangers still asked for a high price. Ji Ya didn’t want to buy a backup central defender for tens of millions. Caulker’s own He has a big heart, and he feels that he should go to a club that plays the main force instead of being a substitute...

So Ji Ya gave up on Caulker. At this time, Benali recommended another person, Micah Richards of Manchester City...

"This guy has suffered too many injuries. He may have played less than [-] games in the last three years." Ji Ya said.

"As a substitute, and he can play both full-back and center-back, it is not a big problem to be a substitute, and he is a free transfer, he does not require a high salary, our training facilities are still good, maybe he can Get back to form, after all, he is only 27 years old." Benelli said.

Ji Ya thought about it, this is true, anyway, it is a substitute, and generally there is no chance to play, the right back himself Rudiger can also play, Jenkinson can also play, the substitute is just in case Just one.

Moreover, although Mika Richards is only 27 years old, as a genius who was favored by many people back then, he has indeed played too little due to injuries in recent years. He was loaned to Fiorentina last season, but he also played in Fiorentina. He didn't play a few games. Under such circumstances, Richards would be willing to play even as a substitute.

"Okay, but I have to make it clear to him in advance, I will try my best to give him time to play, but if he still has physical problems, then it will be difficult for me to arrange for him to play." Ji Ya said after thinking about it.

Benelli nodded.

After Benelli was arranged to do this matter, Ji Ya didn't pay much attention, because the next transfer was the most important one.

After a lapse of one year, Barcelona once again extended an olive branch to Suarez.

After all, Suarez's performance in the past two seasons was too good. He scored 38 goals in the league last season and [-] goals in the Champions League last season. After that, everyone in Barcelona regretted it. If they had known earlier, they should have directly hit Suarez with [-] million yuan...

They missed this opportunity last summer, so they can't miss it this summer!

They still have a chance to make amends!

Moreover, they let go of Deulofeu, Pedro and Afeilai this summer, and there are not many people on the offensive line. Although they are still poaching Turan from Atletico Madrid, they still need a top striker to let him Their frontcourt has really gotten stronger.

Suarez is of course the best choice.

Not only do they like it, but the fans also like it. Neymar and Messi are also looking forward to adding Suarez to the team, so that they can have the strongest striker.

And money is really nothing to Barcelona. Their revenue has been quite high over the years, and it can almost be said that all boats have risen with the tide.

Under such circumstances, it is normal to spend more money on Suarez.

But this time they didn't dare to do what they did last season, but sent a letter to inquire in a proper manner, and at the same time they were in private contact with Suarez's agent...

This is a normal process.

Kiya asked Suarez what he thought. Suarez said that he was really happy in Southampton, but after two top seasons, he also wanted to show himself in a new environment, and in Southampton, 30 De Bruyne has already won the highest weekly salary in pounds. He can get 20, which is indeed a little less for him. He is 28 years old and wants to take this opportunity to get a high salary.

Although the weekly salary of 20 pounds is quite high in the entire Premier League, and the annual salary is almost 800 million euros, but if Barcelona wants to recruit him, the salary will exceed [-] million, which is not a problem at all.

In fact, this is the dilemma Southampton is facing now. It is not right to say that Ji Ya is stingy. Among the players in Southampton, the highest salary, that is, the only top salary of the team is De Bruyne, 30 pounds This figure is also one of the best in the Premier League, followed by Suarez and Lukaku, both of whom have a weekly salary of 20 pounds, and then Mane, Casemiro, Coutinho, Fonte The salaries of these main players and veterans like Schneiderlin range from 18 to [-], and the salaries of others are all below [-]. Some of them are high and some are low. In terms of overall expenditure, Southampton's salary expenditure is not bad among the top seven teams. It cannot be compared with teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United. It is similar to Arsenal and higher than Liverpool and Tottenham.

This level of salary, coupled with the atmosphere in the Southampton team, and the honors that can be won in Southampton, allow Southampton to resist most poaching.

However, there is a poaching that Southampton cannot resist.

That is the other giants waving banknotes to poach Southampton with core-level status and treatment.

It is actually not difficult to solve this problem, just like Suarez, if he raises his salary to the same level as De Bruyne, or even allows the team to have three maximum salaries of this level, then others will not be able to dig them.

However, if this is done, Southampton's current salary table will explode.

Ji Ya’s wages are not given casually, they are all calculated by an actuary, what grades the team’s wages should be divided into, and how to provide wages, in order to retain useful people to the maximum extent, so in such a situation Under the circumstances, it is impossible for him to give Suarez too much money, and he can only find ways to earn more transfer fees.
