    As far as Pei Wei is concerned, there are enough reminders from Pai Vitto. There are only a few teams that are comparable and have a higher reputation in Caisier, and the one who is most likely to compete with him is probably an old acquaintance.  ¡­

    "Sure enough, it's him!" Pei Wei shook a piece of information in his hand. Sure enough, the club competing with Newcastle for Essien was Chelsea.

    Pei Wei was thinking of either Chelsea or Real Madrid, but now Perez is still frantically acquiring offensive players and central defenders. Instead, he failed to see that it is precisely because of his weak waist that the defense is weak. So the most likely possibility is still  Chelsea.

    "Raphael, do you really want to compete with me to the end? First you want to poach Ibrahimovic, and now you want to steal Essien" Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "But if I give up easily, I won't be too disrespectful to you.  ?"

    Pei Wei decided to go to France immediately to discuss the transfer with Jean Aulas. He did not want to raise prices with Chelsea, so it was necessary to show sincerity, and he also believed that Aulas was just posturing.  At present, Lyon does not have the ability to retain its main players, it just depends on how much profit it can get.

    His advantage is that now that Benitez has just taken over Chelsea, he is full of waste and needs to introduce a lot of players, so it is impossible for him to put all his energy into the transfer of Essien, and Abramovich does not seem to be.  As a chairman who will buy players by himself, as long as Abramovich and Benitez do not take action personally, Pei Wei believes that those in the Chelsea transfer department are not his opponents.

    This is not a matter of level, but an issue of identity. Pei Wei can go directly to Jean Aulas to discuss it.  The managers of Chelsea's transfer department can only talk to the managers of Lyon. Who will make the final decision?  It was Jean Olas.

    No matter how lively the Chelsea managers talk, in the end they still have to get approval from Jean Aulas, but Pei Wei simply skipped this procedure. In terms of time, he had an advantage.

    During the negotiation, Pei Wei finally learned the power of the famous vampire Jean Olas, but to be precise, he was not a vampire, but an ambitious chairman.  It's just that at this time, although Lyon is the triple champion of Ligue 1, it is not yet a super giant in Europe. He cannot retain the stars in the team, so he can only try to gain more benefits for the team.

    Pei Wei didn't know that in the history after his reincarnation, Aulas never let go of the two French genius forwards Ben Arfa and Benzema in the team, but kept them at a huge cost.  Come down.

    The negotiations were very difficult. Aulas initially insisted on a transfer fee of 30 million pounds. Naturally, Pei Wei would not agree to this almost extortionate price, although he knew that Essien would definitely be worth the price in the future.  But that doesn't mean he has to be taken advantage of.

    So Pei Wei kept emphasizing that Essien is only 21 years old. Although he is already a Ghana international, he has not shown his value In a word, Essien is not worth 30 million.

    ? And Aulas is emphasizing.  Essien was not brought to the door by them, but Newcastle took the initiative to introduce him. This naturally shows that Essien has something that Newcastle values. In that case.  As a chairman known for his generosity, what's the point of spending more money?

    "That's different. You know, I only spent 22 million to buy Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi from Ajax last season. You have also seen their performance. Can Essien be better than  Are the two of them more valuable?" Pei Wei retorted.

    "We are not Ajax." Aulas said calmly: "They can't keep players. But we can Our economic situation is better than them."

    Pei Wei looked at Aulas and had the urge to beat this guy up.  He finally knew what it was like to have other domestic club owners want to poach people from him, and if he was called out to mess around, sooner or later he would have to pay back the land

    Impulsiveness returns, negotiations still need to be negotiated. After talking for such a long time, Pei Wei at least knows that Aulas is more willing to sell players to himself than to the Russian. Abramovich was a little too arrogant after entering the Premier League.  People who want to buy it have to buy it no matter what. When the benefits are similar, everyone hopes to see Abu suffer a little bit.

    And Pei Wei was also sure that he personally came to negotiate with Olas and gave Olas enough face, which also made Olas's emotional balance tilt a little towards him.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When it comes to interests, Pei Wei doesn¡¯t believe that he has such a big position to let Aulas make concessions in this regard.

    So, the arduous negotiations continued

    After two days of intense negotiations, when Pei Wei doubled his initial offer to 20 million pounds, Aulas finally relaxed - he agreed that Newcastle could negotiate with Mike.?.Essien¡¯s agent negotiates.

    The next negotiation was relatively easy. Essien¡¯s annual salary in Lyon was less than 1 million, and Pei Wei offered 270

    Salary, four-year contract with a signing fee of 1.5 million, Essien agreed after discussing it with his agent.

    Within three days, Newcastle quickly completed its first signing of the summer, buying Lyon's Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien for 20 million pounds.

    Pei Wei is very satisfied that this transfer did not turn into a soap opera. If it drags on any longer, it will probably lead to long nights and nightmares. Moreover, the transfer fee this time is nearly 500 cheaper than Chelsea's purchase of Essien one year later in history.  Wan, pretty good.

    He sees it this way, but others don¡¯t see it this way. When the news of the transfer spread, many people thought that Newcastle was crazy.

    ?? 20 million pounds to buy an African player who has not yet been able to prove his strength, and he is also a defensive midfielder - isn't this crazy?

    Pei Wei ignored these comments. As a fan, he knew that these comments were basically bullshit. Although some were accurate, for the club, it was worth paying more for useful players. No.  Useful players don¡¯t want it for free.

    At least Pei Wei knows that Essien definitely falls into the category of useful players.

    ?******************************************

    Newcastle's introduction of Essien only caused a stir for a few days. During the summer transfer period, even the transfer of big-name players cannot always attract attention, because there will always be changes in other big-name stars to distract the media and fans.  The eyes are attracted.

    Manchester United, which only finished fourth last season, announced that it had signed Alan Smith from the relegated Leeds United for 6 million pounds, and then they bought Alan Smith from Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 for 6.9 million pounds.  The Argentine left-back Heinze was introduced. Both players are not too old, and Sir Alex Ferguson's youthful pace has not stopped at all.

    Arsenal continued their usual saving strategy. It was really difficult for Wenger before the new stadium was built. He could only use the least amount of money to accomplish the most things - this summer they gritted their teeth and squeezed out a lot of money.  The transfer fee of 12 million pounds to buy out Adriano from Yunjia Tianyu is obviously a bit small, but it is already the highest fee that Arsenal can afford.

    "I even gave up on Robin Van Persie!" Wenger complained on the phone: "Just to bring in Adriano"

    "Professor, I've given you enough face!" Pei Wei said unceremoniously: "I let you use Adriano for free for two seasons. Do you plan to let him move on a free transfer after his contract expires? That way  It's a bit too much, and it's not like you don't have a chance with Van Persie. He doesn't want to stay in Eindhoven now, and Van Marwijk is not willing to keep him. Don't you have no chance? What's more, Adriano?  Much better than Van Persie."

    "Okay, Pei, I accept your favor" Wenger laughed: "I originally thought you were going to take Adriano back by force."

    Pei Wei said angrily: "I'm not that stingy! Forget it, I won't talk to my competitors. Be careful in this year's league."

    After finishing speaking, Pei Wei hung up the phone, and Wenger looked at the phone and smiled.

    Apart from Adriano, Arsenal's moves in the transfer market were pitiful. In the next few days, they only spent half a million pounds to buy Spanish goalkeeper Almucia from Celta Vigo.  Lehmann's substitute, as well as the free transfer forward Lupoli introduced from Parma - Pei Wei wanted to persuade the professor that this guy would not become a big player, but after thinking about it, he still did not make the call.

    However, Arsenal has transferred many players. In addition to most of the young players on free transfers, Arsenal has terminated the contract of Wiltord, the highest transfer spender in history. The professor admitted that this transfer was an incomparable failure. In addition,  Veteran midfielder Parlor went to Middlesbrough for a transfer fee of 1.7 million, and young forward Jeffers went to Charlton for 2.6 million. The shrewd professor then bought the young Frenchman from Marseille.  Although the transfer fee for defensive midfielder Flamini has not been disclosed, everyone on earth knows that it will definitely not be too much.

    On July 8, Newcastle announced their second transfer acquisition. They signed a two-year contract with Swedish striker Larsson on a free transfer. Mourinho's persuasion impressed the Swedish veteran, causing him to reject offers including those from Barcelona.  numerous clubs within.

    Different from the attitude towards Essien's transfer, many media have given high praise to Newcastle's acquisition. There is no doubt about Larsson's strength. His arrival will definitely enrich Newcastle's offensive methods on the forward line.  The purchase without transfer fee is also a very beautiful operation.

    Buy Essien and Larsson?Newcastle has made up for the shortcomings in the midfield and forward, but for Newcastle, the climax of this transfer period is far from coming.
