Chapter 121 Robbery

Name: Ronald Araujo

Age: 19 years old.

Condition: Excellent.

Fatigue level: 15%.

Probability of injury: 10%.

Keywords: [Short passing combination], [Man marking], [Interception].

After several twists and turns, Li Yanqing finally met the young man.

The other party was originally planning to go to Barcelona, ​​but at the request of their elders, they still came to see him.

It possesses the standard Barcelona-style short passing combination, coupled with defensive skills such as man marking and interception.

There are no technical terms listed; he's a young man in his growth phase.

"Barcelona is a powerhouse, I don't deny they are really strong."

"But that place isn't suitable for you right now; you definitely won't be a starter."

"I even think it will be difficult to get a substitute, and I am very likely to be moved to the reserve team."

Li Yanqing immediately began analyzing the current situation for him.

There was no other way; if they wanted to persuade this player, they had to start from here.

“But Burton is different; we are a newly promoted team.”

"We can boldly use young players, regardless of whether they are famous or not."

"I guarantee that you'll be a starter as soon as you join."

"The Premier League is definitely no worse than La Liga..."

Araujo didn't say anything because that's what Barcelona told him.

He'll train in the second team for a while, and then be promoted to the first team once he has a place.

However, Li Yanqing underestimated the influence of top clubs on the players.

He had already promised them a starting position, but they were still hesitating.

The opposing player isn't from La Masia, but does he also dream of playing for Barcelona?

"Okay, I can agree to that."

"If Barcelona promises you a starting position one day, I will agree to let you transfer away."

After thinking for a while, Li Yanqing still said those words.

This is his final bottom line.

He believes that if the player is happy at Burton and achieves good results, he will be willing to stay.

“We’ll have to think about it, sir.” The other party’s agent gave an apologetic look and then pulled the player aside.

It has to be said that this left Li Yanqing somewhat helpless.

If only all young players had Murphy's awareness...

Spending a few years honing your skills in the Premier League is clearly much more worthwhile than spending a few years with Barcelona's reserve team.

The other party actually needs to consider it.

Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint Li Yanqing.

"Sir, we agree to go to Burton."

"But the clause we just agreed to must be written into the contract."

"No problem..."

The current Barcelona coach, Valverde, received the news two days later.

"Our people have been robbed?"

He was somewhat frustrated at the moment. Whether he was coaching Athletic Bilbao before or now coaching Barcelona, ​​he had rarely experienced having players poached.

Barcelona is a powerhouse club, and players generally don't refuse invitations.

Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, has a predominantly pedigree among its players...

"Yes, a newly promoted team in the Premier League."

"The other party promised to give Araujo a starting position directly."

"Main force..."

Valverde knew without even guessing what the other party meant.

There are many advantages to playing for big clubs, but securing a starting position is something that can't be guaranteed.

Otherwise, Fabregas wouldn't have made the decision to go to Arsenal back then.

Those were players developed by La Masia...

Currently, a group of veterans such as Pique, Busquets, and Suarez are still in the team. He is willing to improve the team's age structure, but he simply cannot do so.

Compared to his predecessor Enrique, his authority is much smaller.

Despite his 43-game unbeaten run across seasons, he still doesn't seem to have earned enough trust from club president Bartomeu.

"To be honest, I don't know what our chairman is thinking."

"Coutinho... Dembele..."

"Is this the style of Barcelona? When did we start pursuing a superstar route?"

Why can't Munir be given more opportunities?

"On the contrary, Real Madrid is no longer buying superstars; instead, they're buying a lot of young talents to develop!"

Valverde seemed a little dissatisfied, but in the end he could only wave his hand.

"I'll go talk to the Chairman. We can't let talented young people keep getting snatched up by others..."

On the other hand, after dealing with Araujo, Li Yanqing received a call from Raiola.

"Isn't the World Cup interesting, Mr. Vampire?"

"I'm very busy right now, I'm afraid I don't have time to deal with you..."

“No, you have to deal with it.” Raiola’s tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Because I'm helping you."

Have you heard of Felipe Anderson?

"That winger from Lazio?" Li Yanqing knew a bit about this player; he was only 24 years old and had performed quite well for Lazio.

Matias is a striker in a completely different league from him.

"That's right, his agent is my friend."

"Lazio are now interested in selling him."

“A team has already made an offer to him, I suggest you act as soon as possible.”

"Can you make it cheaper?" This was Li Yanqing's only question.

Judging from his market value, it would cost at least 40 million to acquire this player.

They have 60 million in this transfer window, plus the remaining 10 million from the last transfer window, for a total of 70 million.

The previous transfers had already cost more than 20 million, and with Araujo included, the total expenditure was around 30 million.

At least ten million should be left for David Lewis.

They cannot spend more than 30 million on Anderson.

"At least 30 million, plus some floating clauses."

"The total price will definitely be around 40 million, which is not cheap; at most, it's an installment plan."

Raiola said all he had to say, but that was enough.

"Okay, thank you so much."

"Mr. Vampire".

"Barker will figure out the rest."

"I'm trying to help you..." Raiola said with a hint of helplessness.

"Can't you even use a different form of address at a time like this?!"

PS:

Two more chapters later

Also, I saw the message.

Sommer isn't a good fit. Borussia Mönchengladbach is a strong team in the Bundesliga, and it's a bit of a waste for them to be a substitute for a newly promoted Premier League team...
