Chapter 374 Suarez Defense Battle

"Didn't I announce that the transfer market is closed, and we will neither buy nor sell? And our pre-season training will start soon." Ji Ya said to Frye with some surprise.

"We have already expressed this attitude with Barcelona, ​​but they still insist on buying Suarez." Frye was a little helpless.

Ji Ya is speechless. After the transfer market was announced to be over, he began to renew his contract with the main players. For example, De Bruyne’s salary doubled. Originally, his annual salary was only 20 pounds, but now it has directly increased to [-] Sterling has reached the level of a strong team. In addition to him, important players such as Suarez, Lukaku, and Casemiro have also renewed their contracts, reaching the level that a top team should have.

This is Ji Ya's decision. Of course he knows that it is good to save wages, but he also knows that it is important to sell some people to save wages, but it is even more important to keep the salaries of key players at a relatively high level. It is very important, so if the main players are not sold after the end of the season, they will immediately renew their contracts, improve their treatment, and let them perform better in the next time.

This can be seen from their salary expenditure. When they first entered the Premier League, their annual salary expenditure was only more than 5000 million pounds. In the second year, it increased to more than 6000 million, and last year it was more than 7000 million. This year it has increased to [-] million.

Of course, this kind of improvement has a lot to do with the increase in broadcast fee income and Ji Ya's more confidence. The practice of cleaning up some players and increasing some of the main players also played a role in it.

Now Southampton's overall salary is 700 million after tax. This figure ranks sixth in the Premier League. Manchester City ranks first. Their after-tax salary is as high as 300 million pounds. Of course, no one can Compared with this kind of local tyrants, Manchester United ranks second with 100 million, Chelsea 900 million, Arsenal 400 million, Liverpool 3000 million, Southampton Ranked sixth, lower than them is Tottenham, 800 million, less than [-] million.

Southampton's salary expenditure is of course worth comparing with their results, but that is also because there are always main players who are eliminated, and the wages of newcomers will always be lower. Some main players get more, and others are also convinced—— —After all, Suarez's 25, De Bruyne's 20, and Lukaku's 18 weekly salary rank the club's top three. This is still very convincing.

Only such a contract extension can give Southampton more confidence in the face of poaching.

If you want to sell the price that makes my heart beat, otherwise I will keep it for myself, right, I don't have to earn your little transfer fee...

The taller you are, the more money you can make.

And Ji Ya has always said the same thing, saying that the transfer market is closed, then he will definitely not buy or sell anyone again, and he will not sell for any amount of money.

As a result, Barcelona still made an offer to Suarez, which made Ji Ya a little upset.

"Rejecting their offer means that Suarez is not for sale," Kiya told Frye.

"This is 6000 million pounds..." Frye was a little surprised.

"I said that the transfer market is closed, so it is closed. Why didn't Barcelona contact us earlier if they want to buy? Now our training camp is about to start, and they come to make an offer. Do I need my results for the new season? The Champions League is one more step forward. It’s a profit of 2000 million pounds, if I affect the team’s performance for this little money, I would be called a fool.” Ji Ya said with a sneer.

Frye nodded. This is really reasonable. Even if Barcelona is willing to pay, where can Ji Ya go to find a center at this time?It is not impossible to right Vardy, but in this way, the overall strength of the striker is very weak. Compared with Southampton's entire season performance, this income is really nothing.

Fry quickly rejected Barcelona's offer, and then re-examined that Suarez is not for sale, and our transfer window for this season has also been closed. If you want to buy, you should buy it as soon as possible next year.

Even if Suarez does not return to action until the end of October, we will not sell him now.

Frye thought he had made that clear, but only a day later, Barcelona made a second offer.

"Sixty-five million pounds? That's all? I thought they were going to offer a sky-high price, such as 500 million pounds. Then I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet and agreed. At worst, I would find a way to recruit another striker with potential, but Sixty-five million... just kidding." Ji Ya couldn't help laughing.

Frye also shook his head helplessly, and then prepared to reject Barcelona.

However, neither he nor Ji Ya expected that at the same time that Barcelona made an offer, World Sports Daily and Daily Sports Daily began to buzz about the news that Suarez joined Barcelona...

Titles such as "Enrique likes Suarez very much and hopes that he can become the last link in the Barcelona Trident", "Messi hopes to play with Suarez, plus Neymar, the strongest South American striker", It began to appear in these two media in large numbers.

There are even a lot of tabloids who pretend to be serious that Southampton and Barcelona have reached an agreement to sell Suarez to Barcelona. Barcelona is willing to take the risk of not being able to use Suarez for the next three months and introduce Suarez at a high price.

Some media said that Suarez was so moved that he almost signed it.

"Luis, our new season is about to start, we are definitely not willing to sell you at this time, so I hope to hear your opinion." Ji Ya immediately called Suarez.

Suarez listened on the other end of the phone, but Suarez was willing to answer the phone, and Ji Ya knew it in his heart.

If Suarez really wants to leave, then letting the agent answer the phone is the best choice.

"To be honest, I don't really want to leave Southampton, but the attraction of Barcelona is still quite big. Playing with Messi... is too tempting for us South American players." Suarez is very honest explain.

"Then stay for another year, perform better at Southampton, and go to Barcelona as a savior. What's wrong? The World Cup has just passed, and you are also worried about the World Cup syndrome? At this time, choose to join a team. A new team is not a good choice." Ji Ya said with a smile.

Suarez nodded thoughtfully. Ji Ya's words are still very reliable. He also knows that after last season's crazy performance, his performance this season will probably be worse, it just depends on the confidence of the club.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ya sneered.

Barcelona's approach from top to bottom is obviously trying to poach Suarez, but now that I have reached an agreement with Suarez, then I will succeed in this Suarez defense battle!
