Chapter XXIX

Russell just wanted to be reserved and fight for the greater interests of Barcelona, but what Rosell didn't expect was that Tottenham Hotspur hadn't responded yet, and Digan couldn't help it first.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that in order to force Barcelona to comply, Levy revealed his intention to introduce Deegan to familiar reporters early.

Then after Barcelona rejected Tottenham Hotspur's offer, the news was also very "unexpectedly" known by reporters, and then it was revealed as soon as possible.

Then he was told by Digan, and then in an interview, Deegan said angrily: "I'm not happy at all in Barcelona, I've never been accepted here, I can't see the future here at all, every day here, I'm simply living like a year, I don't understand what Chairman Russell means, since they don't want to give me a chance, why don't they let me leave and let me continue my career, are they planning to ruin me?" If that's the case, then well! Don't they think I'm very important? Then in the next three years, I will continue to stay here, anyway, I can get an annual salary of 17 million euros every season, even if I retire after three years, I will live a very comfortable life for the rest of my life! ”

Degan's anger made Russell a little panicked, if Degan really wants to break the net, in the next three years, counting taxes, Barcelona will have to pay Deegan at least nearly 100 million euros, this loss is absolutely unacceptable to Russell.

The most important thing is that this matter has been poked out with the interview of Degan, and Barcelona fans are also angered by Degan's approach, they don't feel that in the past two seasons, the club has anything to be sorry for Degan, they just think that being able to play in Barcelona is something that every professional player should feel honored, and Degan's current approach is clearly blackmailing the club, which they can't tolerate.

Now almost all Barcelona fans are asking the club to sell Digan to avoid losses, and the La Masia gang, led by Messi, is also expressing their desire to get rid of Digan.

"If Deegan has expressed his desire to leave, why can't we satisfy him? Leaving a player who is not at Camp Nou is not good for Barcelona's future, and Barcelona will still be Barcelona when they leave anyone, nothing will change! ”

The attitude of the fans and Messi is something that Rusell cannot ignore, Barcelona is a membership system, and after his term is over, if he wants to be re-elected, he must get the votes of those members.

And Messi is the core of Barcelona, and the status of the La Masia gang led by him in Barcelona cannot be ignored by anyone, basically the main framework of Barcelona is built by the La Masia gang, Messi, Pedro, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Valdés, and captain Puyol.

For the sake of a Degan, the hearts of so many people have been chilled, and Russell can't bear this price, and he is definitely not willing to bear it.

At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's second offer also arrived, 35 million euros, which is still less than the price at which Fiorentina brought in Digan from AC Milan.

You must know that Fiorentina introduced a seriously injured Digan from AC Milan and paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros, although Barcelona got Digan without spending a penny, but in the past two seasons, the salary plus bonuses, plus the high taxes and fees, all added up, Barcelona paid at least nearly 70 million euros on Digan.

But again, Barcelona has also received a lot of rewards from Degan, but the price is still a bit low, and it is still not a small distance from Russell's psychological price.

However, Tottenham Hotspur also made it clear that this is the final offer, and they will not continue to raise the price, Tottenham Hotspur is not a tyrant after all, and there is no oil godfather, even if it is a middle-class position in the Premier League, after promising to give Degan a high salary, it is natural to strictly control the transfer fee.

On the one hand, Tottenham Hotspur is aggressive, and on the other side, Deegan is also clamoring to leave, Barcelona is really passive now, and Russell is also regretting that he should not have given Degan such a high annual salary in the first place, and now he is cocooned and bound to himself.

Don't say yes, right?

Degan's annual salary is a huge drag on Barcelona, and it also makes Messi and others restless, in case of the end of the trouble, the collective demand for a salary increase, breaking Barcelona's financial balance, he will be the chairman.

But if he agreed, Rusell was really unwilling, Degan is still very powerful, at least from the perspective of the few opportunities to play in the past two seasons, the ability to show, as long as Degan stays, it will definitely help Barcelona a lot, but the problem is that both Guardiola and Ranova are obviously more of the La Masia gang led by Messi.

At this time, with Degan's statement, his fans also expressed great concern about this matter, and even the Belgian Prime Minister mentioned it privately during his visit to Spain, which made Rusell doubly stressed.

Seeing that the Champions League final is coming, if this matter cannot be calmed down as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on Barcelona's preparations.

Barcelona were defeated in the final last season and are now in the final again, and this time Rosell does not want another surprise.

Laporta, in particular, failed to win the Champions League trophy during his tenure, and Rosell will be hoping to make a breakthrough during his tenure and prove that he is more successful than Laporta, and he will not allow accidents.

Finally, after asking about Vilanova, Rosell finally nodded, 35 million, Degan transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, and the deal will be officially announced after the summer transfer period opens.

Then it was time to sign a personal contract, but at this time, Deegan put forward a condition, the signing was okay, but it would have to wait until after the Champions League final.

Although there is little hope, Degan still has a glimmer of hope that he can play in the Champions League final, and when the time comes, he will use his performance to tell the Barcelona people that it is a loss for Barcelona to give up on him, and also to tell the fans of Tottenham Hotspur that signing him is the right choice.

Levy has no opinion on this, this person with a lot of bad taste, but he is also very much looking forward to seeing the remorseful expression of the Barcelonans.
