Aldridge carefully studied the six names on the card and found that Real Madrid had come to negotiate this time, at least in the transfer negotiation process.

They have no money!

But just because you don't have money doesn't mean you can't do business.

Anelka is not only a burden that Real Madrid wants to get rid of, but also a deal If the deal can be reached, Anelka can become a replacement for Henry, and the lack of quality, at least the strength is obvious to all.

Millwall sold Makelle in the summer, and Florentino came to power to clean up the old Sans era.

Ballack, Redondo, Karemb, if Millwall wants to use it to supplement the midfield, you can take them all!

Guti's situation is more special, loyalty is his, but Florentino thinks that Guti has no star flavor, in his ideal puzzle, there is no place for him, but Guti has talent and strength, if Aldridge wants, Real Madrid has no problem releasing people, and the inclusion of his name is mainly a reflection of sincerity, not simply Florentino uses a group of players he wants to get rid of to fool Aldridge.

Casillas, on the other hand, is a temptation.

Casillas emerged last season thanks to an injury to Ilgner.

And for Casillas, who was fifth in the league and was poured 8 goals in the Champions League semifinals, now if you want to say how great Casillas will be, hehe, fans all over Europe will laugh, no one takes it seriously.

But Millwall's goalkeeper has been controversial for six years.

Keller in the first two years, Bout in the next four years, it seems that the goalkeeper will always be their most worrying link, no, it shouldn't be a worry. It's not perfect!

Casillas has talent. There are also substantial performances at the top level. In Florentino's opinion, if Casillas could be exchanged for Henry, the deal would not be a loss.

The reaction of the fans will not be too great, after all, Casillas has not officially worn a full season for Real Madrid.

Club negotiations are often like this, and secretly, the players are sad, and they don't know when they will become a bargaining chip in the hands of those in power to make deals.

In fact, Real Madrid's negotiating team also considered adding an African player to the list, but Florentino deleted it. Think that was an insult to Millwall.

The African player's name is: Samuel Eto'o.

call

Aldrich took a deep breath.

These six names really made him think about it for a long time.

To put it simply, if Henry can be exchanged for Ballack, Casillas, Redondo, and Guti, Anelka's non-strength reasons are ruled out by Aldridge, and Karenbu is completely due to competitive factors.

One for four.

This deal, from a value point of view, is really a big profit!

He doesn't think about Casillas, a loyal synonym like Guti will refuse the transfer. Anyway, if he nods yes, the rest of the work. It's Real Madrid who do it.

Is it difficult for a club to let a player go?

Aldrich thought for a long time, and finally let out a sigh in his heart.

There is no fate!

It's not that he doesn't want Casillas, it's not that he doesn't want Guti, who always makes some unbelievable balls, it's not bad to renew the mentorship relationship with Ballack, Redondo can bring experience to the players, and promote the growth of pure defensive midfielders like Gattuso and Pedreti.

It's a pity, Millwall, that they can't be tolerated.

Millwall's success has just reached a new peak.

Now, what the club needs most is stability!

And where does stability come from? Popularity!

How could he let Casillas replace Bout and chill the hearts of the players?

If even such a key player who started twice in the Champions League and helped the team win so many honours can be discarded, will the club still have a little human touch? Is there still half respect for the players? How else can a united team gather strong fighting power? Isn't everyone in danger, afraid that the next one will be replaced?

The cohesion of the team itself is exceptionally strong, ask all the players at Millwall, who is stronger Bout or Casillas? 100% all the players would say Bout!

They trained together, fought side by side, celebrated together, and tasted defeat together, what kind of friendship did they have in such a time? Outsiders can say lightly which star will replace someone, but in reality, the inside of the dressing room will not accept.

They succeeded, they won, why should they suddenly give up their comrades? Instead to meet a stranger?

If an unsuccessful team makes a change, it will be commended, and even if it fails, it is still bold.

But if the successful team makes changes, it's a terrible thing!

Millwall to this day, there are places where Aldrich is unable to override his personal power.

In the absence of problems with the players themselves, the club cannot sell the main team! You can't move the main position of the player either!

If a player wants to leave, then he can leave, but it must not be the club forcing the player to leave, it will cause a huge backlash, the fans, the dressing room, all sides, Aldridge has to think about it.

If he does this, with his authority, even if the locker room will not rebel against him, but the hearts of the people are scattered, can the team still be able to lead well?

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, I can't lie and say that we have no problem with Henry, and if I say that there is no problem, it would show that I lack the sincerity of the dialogue, as reported by the media, we have encountered difficulties in renewing our contract with Henry. If I can't solve this problem this summer, I won't sell him, sometimes the club has to show courage and confidence, if Henry is sold by Millwall because of the awkwardness, then, does Millwall still have any dignity? In my six years in charge, I've sold a lot of good players, but that's when Millwall needed the money from the transfer market, but now we're in a good financial position and as a club that has just been promoted to one of the top clubs in Europe, one of our principles now is to never sell their players for financial gain. ”

Aldridge pushed the card back to Florentino, who frowned slightly: "I think it's a collaboration in the field of competition, if Henry can't play his worth at Millwall." This will have a direct impact on Millwall's competitive strength. Real Madrid are unable to pay in cash. So, we use player swaps to complete the deal so that Millwall's athleticism can be replenished and even improved. ”

Aldridge shook his head and said, "Mr. President, this deal is tempting, but the point I am talking about is the image of Millwall, if things do go in the worst direction. A year and a half later, Real Madrid could offer Henry a contract directly, and at that time, you had a good chance of getting him, and now, the probability is zero. ”

The result frustrated Florentino, but he was not discouraged.

There is no way, this is the case with Real Madrid, there is no money for the time being, but if Redondo is sold. Anelka, Barak after them. Real Madrid may have the money, but at that time, the new season of the Premier League is estimated to have begun, according to Millwall's past practice, after the new season officially started, they have never let go of any players, and there is no winter!

Buying and selling, can't be discussed.

But Florentino and Aldridge still shook hands amicably, even if they were photographed by the media.

Florentino wants to bring a superstar to the Bernabeu, he has worked hard, he will make the fans satisfied, our chairman is going to talk about a big deal, it didn't work out, at least he has this heart.

And Aldrich was not afraid of being exposed to this meeting, and he also sent a signal to the outside world.

Henry, Lao Tzu doesn't sell!

Yes, even the new chairman of Real Madrid, the chairman who spends a lot of money and does not change his face, comes to talk, Lao Tzu still does not sell!

The next day, the Millwall players returned.

Aldridge drove to the club and he was thinking about things all the way.

The team started summer preparations today, and Henry's matter must be resolved, otherwise it will disturb the morale of the army under the hype of outside public opinion.

Regardless of Henry's qualifications at Millwall, at least he was a big contributor to the team's treble triumph last season, and no one can ignore a super-striker who scored 49 goals and provided 16 assists in a single season.

He wanted to settle the matter quickly, and it turned out that there were people in the training base who wanted to end the matter more quickly than he did.

Aldridge was on his way to Adam's office, intending to have Adam hold a press conference to announce that Henry had two years left on his contract with Millwall, and that he had to fulfill his contract, and that Millwall would not accept any offers from other clubs during that time.

It's a PR gesture, and it's very different from what you say in a casual interview.

During the interview, it can be said that it is not for sale, not for sale, not for sale.

But there are countless examples of things that end up being sold.

And once Millwall holds a press conference, things become very formal, it is about the public image of a club, if it is really sold, isn't Millwall equivalent to slapping himself?

It will become the laughing stock of European football.

The door to Adam's office was not closed, and Aldrich had not even walked in when he heard a loud commotion inside.

"Crazy! You must be crazy! £40 million! £40 million! Juventus have already offered £40 million! This is the latest transfer record, so what else are you not satisfied with? Well? If Thierry leaves free after two years, you will lose £40 million plus two years' salary! ”

This year, the world record for the transfer value of players has been broken consecutively.

Crespo joined Lazio for £36.5 million, and Real Madrid poached Figo for £38 million.

Juventus have now raised their price to £40 million and want to take Thierry Henry from Millwall.

The man who shouted in disbelief was Henry's agent, and Adam, sitting behind his desk, had a blank face and actually felt that if Henry were sold for £40 million, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages for the club.

Anyway, in terms of public opinion, Henry does not have an advantage, at least there are already extremists among Millwall fans clamoring for Henry to get out.

What happened to last season's heroes? Awesome?

Nedved, they have been silently dedicating for six years, which point is worse than you? They signed the contract renewal without saying a word, never delayed, not once!

If you don't want to stay, get out!

Aldridge pushed the door in, Henry's agent immediately shut his mouth, and Adam stood up to greet him.

Aldrich turned his head and asked the agent with a faint expression, "What about the Henry?" ”

"He's on holiday and enjoying the happy time helping the French national team win the European Championship."

"Are you sure he won't renew his contract?"

"Nope! Millwall's conditions we can't agree to! ”

"Just because of money?"

"Of course not, if he goes to Juventus, he will have a more brilliant career! Serie A is the world's No. 1 league, the Premier League, and it's still a little worse. ”

Aldrich nodded, ignoring the other man.

He pulled out his phone, found Henry's personal phone and dialed it.

Henry's agent's expression became slightly nervous, paying attention to Aldrich's move.

"Boss?"

When the phone rang, Aldrich heard Henry's voice.

Aldrich said into the phone in a cold tone with an expressionless face: "Thierry, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'll only say it once, your vacation is over, come back tomorrow for pre-season training, you won't go anywhere except Millwall, rather than let me witness you go to Turin to rot, I'd rather you be ruined in Millwall, a place that has made you!"
