How much is Samuel Eto'o worth as a striker?

This is a question that has been bothering the media for some time now, especially in Catalonia, because they all feel that Eto'o should be one of the leading goalscorers in football today, no matter how many ways it stands, why is his value so low? Why is no club willing to offer him a higher price?

In fact, the operation of the transfer market is also inseparable from supply and demand, which determines the transfer price of players.

In the case of Samuel Eto'o, who are the most sought-after players in the European football transfer market this summer?

The type at a good price!

With the financial crisis hit, the world's economy is generally sluggish, except for membership-based clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, how many of them really spend a lot of money to buy big-name stars?

You can count it on five fingers!

And the deals of more than 15 million euros, except for Tottenham and Manchester United, are basically midfielders, that is to say, all teams now have less urgent needs for attacking players in the midfield, on the contrary, what is really needed is the midfield.

Maybe someone else said, look at Eto'o's stats, the stats of Europe's top strikers, how many times better than Torres back then? But now Eto'o is worth so much less than Torres, and it's not cost-effective enough?

Indeed, purely from the point of view of the transfer fee, Eto'o is a great value, but the introduction of a player does not mean that I can pay the transfer fee, you also have to pay Eto'o's salary, in this regard, Eto'o's annual salary is twice as high as Torres.

Well, if you add Eto'o's annual salary to his transfer fee, plus the tax rate, you can see that it is not really cost-effective to bring in Eto'o because his salary is too high.

Even to a certain extent, if Barcelona doesn't want Eto'o to rot in their hands, they don't want Eto'o to sit on the bench at Barcelona, and they can still get a high salary without playing, then they don't even rule out letting him transfer freely, because since both sides have fallen out and it is impossible to renew the contract, then Eto'o will still be free to transfer in two years, it is better to let him go now, and save two years of salary.

This is the way the transfer market is played, value and strength, and it is useless in this market, because in an environment where European football has become the core circle of football around the world, there is no shortage of powerful players to choose from, and what they lack is only what they want.

Therefore, Yang Cheng often said that the level of transfer fees does not lie in your strength and value, but in how much they need you, and supply and demand are important factors in determining the level of transfer fees.

Therefore, in the current situation, Eto'o can make a move, which is already a great thing for Barcelona to pray to God and Buddha, and the level of the transfer fee can be discussed again, not to mention, the price given by Manchester City is not too low, 18 million euros!

"I guess Mourinho is going crazy!" When Yang Cheng heard the news, he laughed and sarcastically said.

He certainly knows that Chelsea also need Samuel Eto'o, because Cheetah is not just a striker, his technical characteristics mean that he can also play on the wing, Mourinho admires this type of player, but now he has been beaten by Manchester City.

"I heard that Kenyon came to Barcelona in person, but it seems that he didn't negotiate with Begiristan, and then Manchester City suddenly made a move, and he directly completed Eto'o's transfer with one offer, which is clean!" Tim? Hank said with a smile.

"It should be the strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium behind them, the Emiratis are so rich that Barcelona can't resist it at all!" Yang Cheng said sarcastically.

Barcelona has previously passed a resolution to sell the chest advertising on the new season jersey to an Austrian bookmaker, and because of this, the United Nations Children's Organization has decided to terminate the cooperation with Barcelona for jersey advertising, which also proves that Barcelona's current financial problems are indeed very big. …,

Yang Cheng even wondered if Barcelona was really in debt, as Russell said, would Laporta continue to take on such a large investment, will Barcelona go bankrupt? And will they sell their stars when the time comes?

This is a very possible thing, because no matter how much Barcelona has a membership system, when you are in debt, and you are not like the rich second generation like Real Madrid, you have the property left from the Bernabeu era to sell, then you can only sell the stars at that time.

When the time comes, Real Madrid will take action and buy Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta...... To be a cold bench, it would be too against the sky!

"What are you smiling at sadly, boy?" Benitez saw Yang Cheng secretly smiling slightly, and had an ominous premonition.

"Nothing, I'm thinking about the reaction of the Barcelona fans!" Yang Cheng hurriedly covered up.

Redondo watched the news on the Internet and shook his head, "There is no reaction, now that Ibrahimovic is here, all Barcelona fans have high hopes for him, and they all think that he can lead the revival of Barcelona, who cares about the frustrated Eto'o?" One by one, they all wished that he would leave quickly, so as not to stay and waste his salary. ”

After Yang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but there was a little sympathy in his smile.

Not just for Samuel Eto'o, but also for the Barça fans.

How pitiful!

A striker who has played for Barcelona for 4 years and scored so many goals, but in the end ended up like this, if it is only Samuel Eto'o, then forget it, from Rivaldo to Ronaldinho to Eto'o, is it not worth reflecting on?

When they later find out that Ibrahimovic's bride turned out to be a scientific product that went to South Korea for plastic surgery, and it falls off when she touches her nose, and it is the touch of a saline bag when she touches it, will they miss the yellow-faced woman who was kicked out of the house by herself?

"By the way, what are the goals of Manchester City now?" Yang Cheng thought of something and asked with concern.

The Abu Dhabi consortium has just taken over Manchester City, and its first gift was to bring Eto'o to Manchester City, but Yang Cheng believes that the ambitions of the Abu Dhabi consortium are definitely not only that, they must have bigger moves.

"Ronaldinho, who was previously included in Manchester City's recruitment plan, has moved to AC Milan, and Berbatov has also moved to Manchester United, so we don't know who else is." Redondo said with a smile.

Manchester City's wealth is indeed a bit of a danger to the giants, after all, it is indeed quite a headache to suddenly kill such a rich man, whose financial resources are better than Abu's, and who do not follow the rules at all.

Just when Yang Cheng thought of this, Florentino called him.

…………

…………

Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng appeared in the office of the chairman of the Bernabeu and found that he was not the only one here, but also Piri, Butragueno, and even Kaka father and son, which made him a little surprised, but suddenly he also vaguely guessed something.

Manchester City really aimed the spearhead of poaching at Real Madrid, which is now in the limelight!

Judging from the current situation in football, the team with the most stars is Real Madrid, and there is a leading star in almost every position, Kaka, Ronaldo, Villa, Aguero, David? Silva, Xavi? Alonso, Mascherano and so on, these are the top players in the position.

If Manchester City want to poach and create momentum, the best way to do it is to poach the most powerful stars.

Because of the competition in the Premier League, it is not easy for Manchester City to poach players from teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, but for Real Madrid, which has always been advertised as commercial, as long as the price can be afforded, it is much less difficult, of course, this is only the opinion of the outside world.

'Manchester City have just sent us a fax and want us to get back by tonight that they are willing to pay a transfer fee of €150 million for Kaka. Florentino sat at his desk, staring at the fax text on his desk, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. …,

Kaka's father, Bosque? "Yes, they did approach me through an intermediary and also offered a five-year contract with an annual salary of 20 million euros, along with a signing fee of 35 million euros. ”

Speaking of these numbers, Bosque? Reiter was obviously still a little trembling, because such a terrifying sum of money is almost worth Kaka's current years at Real Madrid, which can almost be said to be a temptation that cannot be refused to any extent.

Everyone knows that the career of a professional player is only a few years, which professional player is not desperate to play football for a few years, make a fortune, and then wait for retirement, it can be said that all professional players are with an injury when they retire, which is inevitable, so they also know better than anyone that the importance of having money to retire.

It's a very real world, and money, for anyone, is a temptation that can't be refused.

Yang Cheng looked at Florentino, and then looked at the silent Piri and Butragueno, he knew very well in his heart that 150 million euros meant for any club, this is a transfer that cannot be rejected, because the transfer fee is too amazing, and it can even be said that those who refuse are stupid.

Looking at Kaka, who didn't speak, the Brazilian was clearly intimidated by the sudden temptation.

For a moment, no one could respond to such a thing.

From Yang Cheng's point of view, Kaka is indeed very important, the Brazilian has shown the highest level of strength in the world in the past season, Yang Cheng even believes that this season's Kaka will be even better than last season, because his body has fully recovered and is in peak condition.

At 26 years old, this is the golden age of a player, stepping into full maturity and stability!

Due to Kaka's outstanding performance after his transfer to Real Madrid, it is not surprising that Manchester City want to bring in Kaka with such a high transfer fee, because there is no way for Manchester City to impress Kaka except for money.

Strangely, there were six people in Florentino's office, but suddenly there was no sound at all, and the atmosphere was eerie and elusive, as if everyone was waiting for something.

Tempting, that's for sure, but they also know very well what it means once they agree to this transfer.

Everyone was just looking around at first, but gradually, unconsciously, they all looked at Yang Cheng, and even Florentino raised his head and looked at his head coach, as if to say, promise or refuse, give a letter!

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly a few times and shook his head, he felt that everyone had thrown the difficult problems that they could not, or were unwilling to make, into their hands, he sighed and stood up.

"If it were me, I would choose to refuse!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Whether it is a club or a player, I will not agree, it has nothing to do with football, nor does it have anything to do with money, interests, etc., it is purely my personal idea." ”

"Selling Kaka can indeed bring 150 million euros in transfer income, and we are not without a way to fill the gap in Kaka's departure, but the question is, selling our star players and selling our core players, what will everyone think of Real Madrid?"

After a pause, Yang Cheng seemed to be imagining, "I guess that by that time, when all fans around the world mention Real Madrid, their first impression is no longer the top giant, the most noble team, but a giant team that can take away any player as long as you have money, no different from Manchester United, AC Milan, Arsenal and other teams, don't you believe it?" Kaka is an example! ”

"As a player, I can understand that it is difficult for anyone to make a decision when faced with this temptation, because this temptation is too big, so amazing, even I can't bear it, you know, many people can't earn a fraction of a few lifetimes, and after a few years of football, you can let anyone live a life without worry, what a beautiful thing!" …,

"Ask yourself, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to say no as firmly as I do now, but I will definitely ask myself, am I just playing for money?"

"It's only natural for a professional player to play for money, but you're no longer an ordinary professional player!" Yang Cheng's hand slapped heavily on Kaka's shoulder, "As the best and best player in football today, you have the highest salary, you play in the best team, and you have the best teammates, have you asked yourself, Ricardo, what are you playing for?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng smiled again, "Of course, no matter what decision you make, no matter what you choose, I will respect it!" After saying that, Yang Cheng smiled, turned around and walked out of Florentino's office.

…………

…………

As an outsider, no one can imagine the stalemate and hesitation in the hearts of Florentino and Kaka at this moment.

Needless to say, Florentino, the sky-high price of 150 million euros is enough for any club to issue a pass to any player; As for Kaka, it is understandable whether he chooses to stay or chooses to leave.

Anyone asks themselves, would you be tempted by a company that offers you an almost unbelievable poaching offer, one that you only need to work for five years in the past to be able to lame and enjoy a lifetime of salary at home?

Leaving aside those words that are not in the right mouth, will anyone not be tempted?

From this point of view, Yang Cheng has absolutely no reason to stop Kaka, because you can't give him everything that Manchester City has proposed, not even half of it, in this case, who can justifiably ask Kaka to stay?

This is no longer a transfer, from Florentino's invitation to Kaka's father and son to negotiate together, it can be seen that this is no longer a transfer, because the price offered by the other party has gone beyond the scope of transfer, but is related to Kaka's life!

Yang Cheng strolled on the training ground of Valdebebas, he slowly walked to the middle of the comprehensive training ground, where he always stands, looking around, his mind came up with countless scenes of daily training, he was thinking, what are those players working hard, bleeding and sweating training and games?

Is it really just for the money?

Of course, he does not rule out this possibility, because today's sports are no longer pure, and the involvement of money, politics and other aspects has long made sports lose its original purity, and become complicated, utilitarian, and intrigued.

Originally, European football was quite calm, although the introduction of Real Madrid and Barcelona is in a certain nature the same as what Manchester City is doing now, but in the final analysis, Real Madrid and Barcelona still belong to the category of football and belong to the normal range acceptable to fans, but the emergence of Manchester City has completely broken this situation.

You can't blame Manchester City because they did the right thing.

As a latecomer, if he wants to compete with successful teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Liverpool, he must bring in reinforcements to strengthen his strength, and their only bargaining chip is to throw money at it, and rightly so.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the mastermind behind all this, professionalism!

Yang Cheng is a beneficiary of professionalism, but this does not mean that he is not qualified to sigh at the changes brought about by professionalization.

And he also understands that if you want to continue in the professional world of football, you have to follow the rules of professionalism!

"Will you go?" Benitez and the others quietly walked into the training ground.

The afternoon training session is about to start, but I heard that Kaka hasn't come yet.

Will he report directly to Manchester?

This is everyone's doubt!

"I don't know!" Yang Cheng replied with a wry smile, "If it were me, I would really be tempted, so if he stays, then I will respect him, and if he leaves, I will respect him and say goodbye to him with a smile." ”

This should be the first time that Yang Cheng is willing to give the initiative to his own players in the face of poaching.

The outside world has gone crazy, and with the high development of informatization, fans have quickly received the news, and they all gathered outside Valdebebas, chanting Kaka's name.

Especially as the training time approached, they saw one player after another walking out of the dressing room, one after another into the training ground, but did not see Kaka, who was deeply involved in transfer rumors, which made them a little anxious, because if Kaka did not appear, it meant that he would switch to Manchester City.

In this regard, the fans also gave respect, but they will feel sorry.

The players warmed up on the training pitch and under the guidance of the coaches, they couldn't wait to get every joint in their bodies alive, because they knew that what awaited them was the high-intensity training of the manager.

But, in their minds, there is also a question coiled around, is Kaka really leaving? Will it go?
