"It is absolutely impossible for us to operate a big deal of more than 50 million euros!"

This is the answer Wenger gave when facing media inquiries at a press conference two days ago.

Arsenal made a lot of money in the transfer market this summer. The departure of players such as Fabregas, Van Persie, Nasri, and Krish gave Arsenal a transfer income of 150 million euros, but they did not invest much in the transfer market.

Young player Chamberlain from Southampton, wing player Gervinho from Lille, midfielder Arteta from Everton, and defender Mertesacker from Werder Bremen...

Except for young player Chamberlain, the other transfers are typical warm-format operations, pursuing the ultimate cost-effectiveness. This certainly gives Arsenal a lot of money, but it also makes the Gunners criticized.

For example, the central defender was originally rumored in the transfer market to Bolton's Gary Cahill, but the price Bolton quoted for the central defender made Wenger unacceptable, as high as 25 million euros, so Wenger quickly shifted his target and introduced Mertesack from Werder Bremen, which only cost 10 million euros, less than half of Gary Cahill.

The attitudes of the media and fans are generally controversial about Arsenal's approach. I wonder if he should be thrifty or Wenger is stingy? Or is it that Arsenal does not have the funds to invest in the transfer operation?

After Van Persie's transfer, it was revealed that Arsenal intends to force poach Manchester City's substitute striker Sturridge. This English local striker performed quite well under Gao Han, but Manchester City had to fall under Benzema. Although Manchester City has been constantly emphasizing that Sturridge is not a seller, there have been rumors of scandals.

But according to information from the outside world, Sturridge's net worth will exceed 50 million euros.

Everyone knows that Arsenal urgently needs a strong striker now, and Sturridge just meets Arsenal's needs. Moreover, the Gunners have a transfer income of 150 million euros, so they can afford Sturridge.

So, after being forced by the media, Wenger gave the answer with certainty at the press conference that Arsenal would never operate a big deal of more than 50 million euros, which was equivalent to closing the door to Sturridge.

It's not Sturridge, so who could it be?

Wenger himself had a headache. He sat in the office and kept watching the player information and information submitted by the scout team. His eyebrows were frowned tightly and he never relaxed for a moment.

Sturridge is too expensive!

Wenger thought with some worry.

He is not uninterested in Sturridge, but the English local player is indeed too expensive. Although the media is just hyping it, it may exceed 50 million euros, but in fact, it is impossible to convince Manchester City.

The Middle East rich are not short of money. This season, Ancelotti, who is good at playing cup games, is ambitious to continue to make a difference in many fronts such as the Premier League and the Champions League. How could he sell the two regular centers in the team, Benzema and Sturric?

Besides, Sturridge has just renewed his contract with Manchester City, and his annual salary has increased sharply. If Arsenal forcefully poached, he will inevitably make huge sacrifices in terms of transfer fees and annual salary, which Wenger will definitely not want to see.

If Sturridge reduces any of the annual salary and transfer fees, he will not hesitate to operate and introduce it. But now, the cost of introducing this England international is too high and Arsenal cannot afford it.

Moreover, the transfer market this summer is indeed too hot.

After Paris Saint-Germain introduced Suarez, who was bitten by the vampire, he has invested more than 300 million euros in the transfer market, which directly caused an unprecedented prosperity in the European transfer market, just like the scene when Manchester City ignited the transfer market two years ago.

So Wenger had to think more carefully.

But it is definitely not possible if you don’t sign a player.

Liverpool performed poorly last season, but this summer was ambitious and invested huge sums of money to introduce players such as Downing, Henderson, Charlie Adam, Coates, Enrique and Bellamy. The Reds' strength has steadily improved this season. In contrast, Arsenal lost four absolute main players and their strength has been greatly reduced.

If the Gunners fail to sign up on the front line, they may not be able to maintain the top four in the league.

If you lose the Champions League qualification, Arsenal's situation will inevitably make things worse and the losses will be extremely painful.

The materials in front of Wenger are all the players sent by the scout group, including center Mario Gomez who plays for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. He has been scoring well in the Bundesliga in recent seasons and is very stable, but his net worth is not low, at least 40 million euros.

Center Dzeko, who plays for Wolfsburg, is also very strong. Like Gomez, his net worth is not low, at least 40 million euros. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince Wolfsburg to release him.

The 25-year-old center Michu, who is also effective at La Liga Chinatown, was the best scorer in Spain last season, surpassing players such as Torres, Villa and Negrado. She performed very well and was very comprehensive. She is an impressive player.

The 26-year-old center Negredo, who played for Sevilla, scored 20 goals in La Liga last season, second only to Michu among Spanish local players, and is also a very powerful left-footed center.

The above four players are all very suitable among Arsenal's choices, but they are also very valuable, especially Mi Chu of Chinatown, who is swayed by the halo of high cold. But everyone knows that the players who dig Chinatown are not bad, but they have to give enough termination fees.

Michu's termination fee was as high as 50 million euros, which directly scared Juventus, who was looking for a home purchase. The old woman finally chose Vulcinic in Rome, with the transfer fee of only 15 million euros.

Wenger is currently not without substitutes, such as Moussa So, who plays for Ligue 1 Ligue 1, is the top scorer in Ligue 1 last season and the leading striker of Senegal. He scored 25 goals in 36 games, and the transfer fee is expected to be around 15 million euros.

Kevin Garmero, who is also effective in Ligue 1 Lorient, has scored 17 goals and 22 goals in Ligue 1 for two consecutive seasons. He is also very strong, and the transfer fee is around 15 million euros.

But Wenger had to consider another issue, that is, the competition in the Ligue 1 is not fierce. Many players who shine in the Ligue 1 perform very ordinary in the Premier League. They either don’t adapt or have insufficient strength. When Van Persie has left the team and Chamake cannot provoke the front line, if the forwards brought in are not strong, then...

In front of Wenger, there is a life-and-death line, that is, the top four in the league.

He must ensure that the team has the strength to keep the top four in the league, but now the team has left four main players in one summer. If there are any problems with the forward signing, Wenger will really not be able to imagine the team's performance in the new season.

"Maybe, this money is really not enough to be spent." Wenger murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, Paris, France, Charles de Gaulle Airport.

As the busiest international airport in the world, Charles de Gaulle Airport welcomes and sends countless passengers every day, including celebrities from all walks of life and even world-class stars. This makes it very common for the airport to send and pick up fans.

But today, the atmosphere in the airport is obviously different, which has also attracted the attention of the ground staff.

"The call center needs support outside the gate, and the gate needs support here."

"Received, received, what's going on?"

"There were many media reporters gathered on the scene, and there were a large number of fans. The number of people was increasing, and it seemed like they were coming to pick them up."

"What's going on? Which flight to pick up?"

"It was said that it was a direct flight from Beijing to Paris, but it was Gao Han."

"Gao Han? Oh my god, is he just sitting on this flight? Why isn't anyone notifying us in advance?"

"I don't know, maybe he wants to keep a low profile, but where did the reporter dig out the news?"

"Center, more and more fans gather at the scene, hurry up and arrange personnel to support."

...

An Airbus flying directly from Beijing, China to Paris finally landed slowly on the runway of Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Deafening cheers were heard at the gate of the airport. A large number of fans raised banners to welcome Gao Han. The media reporters stationed at the scene were as if they were facing a great enemy and were scrambling to take photos of Gao Han walking out of the gate of the airport.

Even, if you can, it would be better to pull him over and have a close interview directly.

Who will be the first lucky person to interview Gao Han?

This has become the hottest topic in the French media industry for a while, and countless famous reporters are ready to go.

According to the media's in-depth exploration, it turned out that Paris Saint-Germain had reached an agreement with Gao Han as early as June and July, but the two sides did not disclose any news to the outside world. Gao Han's coaching team officially entered the Paris Saint-Germain training base in mid-July, fully taking over the daily operations and training preparations of Paris Saint-Germain.

According to outside speculation, one of the important reasons why Gao Han lived in seclusion behind the scenes is that in order to facilitate the transfer operation, he was worried that the players he liked by Paris Saint-Germain would be on the ground to raise the price, so he did not come forward in person.

However, in order to capture Gao Han's intelligence, French media reporters stationed in China tried every means to penetrate the capital airport, obtained first-hand information after Gao Han purchased the air ticket, and informed France in time, which led to the current grand pick-up event.

The waiting time is undoubtedly the most difficult, especially the long waiting.

I don’t know if something happened, but the passengers of this flight took a longer time to get off the plane.

It was not until everyone was a little impatient that they saw passengers on the flight step out of the gate. The sharp-eyed media reporters and fans quickly searched for Gao Han's traces in the crowd, but found nothing.

"Quick, fast, fast, we guessed wrong. He went straight to the internal passage, chase him!"

I don’t know who shouted like this, but all the media reporters and fans reacted and rushed out one by one to chase them out one by one.

But when the media reporters and fans were panting and chasing out of the waiting hall, they saw three reception cars with the Paris Saint-Germain logo printed on the body quickly leaving the airport, which immediately made the media reporters furious.

"Chasing, get in the car and chase!"

Media reporters rushed into the parking lot one after another, got in the car and drove away from the airport, chasing the club's reception car.

But there are still many reporters and fans standing outside the airport gate, looking at the car shadows in the distance and sighing.

Unexpectedly, I was in vain.

But what they didn't know was that at this moment, Gao Han was in a black-coated Renault car not far from them, patting Mendez and Antero Enrique on the shoulders of the disaster, and said gladly: "Fortunately you are smart enough."

Mendes looked like you didn't come, and waved his hand to signal the driver to leave.

Then they left the airport in a serene manner.

Gao Han looked at the lost reporters and fans outside through the car window, and was also excited.
Chapter completed!
