358: Crystal Palace finally finalizes rotation center forward

Take Giroud away?

Yes, Professor Wenger's first reaction after hearing this was not the outrageous offer of 12 million pounds, but that Tong Yi wanted to take Giroud away?

What's going on?

Do you, Crystal Palace, want to move Giroud to play as the main center forward?

Is our Giroud so good?

In Wenger's view, Giroud is good and excellent. But generally speaking, there is still something lacking. The scoring efficiency is not as high as he imagined, which is also an important reason why Arsenal's results are not too ideal.

Maybe Giroud can be a good forward, but he definitely cannot become the club's leading center.

If you want Giroud to carry you forward and compete for the league championship, this is still not feasible.

If Arsenal wants to rise again and hit the Premier League championship and the UEFA Champions League championship, they need a more stable and efficient shooter. This is why he has recently been eyeing the likes of Jimenez, Balotelli and Aubameyang.

It's a pity that Jimenez, Balotelli and Lukaku have all found their next homes.

Arsenal's reaction was a bit slow.

Moreover, it seems that these people are unlikely to rank Arsenal as their first choice.

So, Arsenal don’t have many options here.

No, this summer they can only bring Lacazette from Ligue 1!

Lacazette has the opportunity to become a more efficient center who can carry Arsenal's stability in previous years. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to introduce him?

After introducing him, Lacazette should be able to complement Giroud, one high and one fast.

Wenger is looking forward to the future at this time.

Tong Yi called suddenly, saying that he wanted to introduce Giroud. This came out of the blue.

Wenger immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "Sorry, Olivier is not for sale to our club."

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Really? If this is the case, I think our Crystal Palace can only talk to Dortmund about bringing in Aubameyang! Aubameyang is younger and better, his scoring efficiency is more amazing, and he is more suitable." Our Crystal Palace..."

Before Tong Yi finished speaking, Wenger interrupted Tong Yi directly and said, "Do you think Dortmund will sell Aubameyang?"

Yes, before introducing Lacazette, Wenger contacted Dortmund and expressed his desire to introduce Aubameyang. Aubameyang himself is also interested in joining Arsenal, but Dortmund is a little reluctant to let him go. Even if Aubameyang puts pressure on them, they are not willing to let Aubameyang go. of.

Therefore, at this time, Wenger gave up and introduced Lacazette.

Otherwise, their Arsenal striker combination in the new season will be Aubameyang and Giroud.

Think about it, this combination is very nice!

Very sharp!

If this striker combination is true, our Arsenal will crush the Premier League and win the Premier League championship.

It's a pity that Dortmund is unwilling to sell Aubameyang!

Tong Yi said calmly, "With my influence in Germany and my relationship with Dortmund, they are willing to sell Aubameyang!"

After hearing this, Wenger immediately understood that Tong Yi's goal was not bullshit Aubameyang at all, but was aimed at Giroud.

Upon hearing this, Wenger was instantly relieved.

To be honest, he really values ​​​​Aubameyang, and he admires Aubameyang very much. If Acazette looks like Henry in Wenger's eyes, then Aubameyang is Henry!

So between Lacazette and Aubameyang, he will definitely choose Aubameyang!

Even now that he has Lacazette, if there is a chance to get Aubameyang, he is still willing to introduce Aubameyang.

Therefore, he knew Tong Yi's purpose, but he had no reason to be angry.

Because he still wants to introduce Aubameyang!

Wenger pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, "If you can persuade Dortmund to sell Aubameyang... We at Arsenal are willing to sell Lacazette to your Crystal Palace. What do you think?"

To be honest, Wenger is a little unclear. Why doesn't Tong Yi really introduce Aubameyang?

After all, after Jimenez left, Crystal Palace no longer has its main center?

Wouldn’t it be good to introduce Aubameyang?

Aubameyang is the main center of Crystal Palace in the new season!

Could it be that Tong Yi already has the main center and just wants to find a rotation center? That's why he chose Giroud instead of Aubameyang. After all, Aubameyang will not go to a team to rotate or be a substitute!

Wenger nodded slightly, it seems that this is really the case.

But who is Crystal Palace's main center forward for the new season?

Lukaku, Balotelli, Morata and others all have new homes, and there are not many people on the market for Tong Yi to choose from. Did Tong Yi keep Jimenez?

From this point of view, it is very possible!

However, it is obvious that Wenger is still not willing to send Giroud away, but he is willing to send Lacazette out!

First, with Aubameyang, Lacazette is less needed.

Secondly, by sending Lacazette away, they can recover a large amount of funds and then introduce Aubameyang.

In this case, Arsenal will not spend so much transfer fee this summer.

Therefore, in Wenger's view, the best deal is for Arsenal to bring in Aubameyang, and Crystal Palace to bring in Lacazette!

But obviously, Tong Yi disagrees.

Tong Yi said directly, "I'm sorry, Professor! What we want in the Crystal Palace is wheel."

If we change to a center, Lacazette is too short and his heading ability is too poor. He is not our recruitment target! We only want Giroud, if not Giroud, we would bring in Aubameyang! "

Wenger frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He was really reluctant to send Giroud away.

After all, it has already cost nearly 50 million pounds to introduce Lacazette. If Aubameyang is introduced again, it will cost another 700.080 million pounds. This summer, hundreds of millions of pounds will be spent.

hiss!

This is not to say that Arsenal has no money, but it is really rare for Arsenal to spend hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market for several consecutive years. In fact, many people now have opinions on his signings. If he spends so much money and has no results, Wenger may really be dismissed.

This is a bit of a gamble!

But, to be honest, he is very, very optimistic about Aubameyang. He saw the shadow of Henry in Aubameyang. He is tall, fast, has shooting skills and headers. He is very comprehensive, and his scoring efficiency is also very amazing. He is simply a perfect center!

With Aubameyang, their Arsenal will definitely produce results.

Heartbeat, this is the feeling of heartbeat.

Wenger is really, really excited!

After pondering for a while, Wenger asked, "Does it have to be Olivier? Can't Lacazette?"

Tong Yi said directly, "No! What we need now is a center like Giroud, not Lacazette. We have too many players like Lacazette in Crystal Palace!"

hiss!

Wenger thought about it carefully, and Tong Yi was really right. Crystal Palace does have a lot of players like Lacazette, but what they are lacking now is really someone like Giroud. It seems that Crystal Palace and Tong Yi have thought carefully about it. It seems that promoting Lacazette will definitely not work.

Do we really want to send Giroud away?

Of course, if sending Giroud away can really get Aubameyang, it is not impossible!

Yes, Aubameyang is still too good.

Compared with Aubameyang, Giroud and nothing else really matter.

Therefore, Wenger suddenly asked, "Can you really help Arsenal win Aubameyang?"

Hearing this, Tong Yi secretly said "Yes" in his heart, it worked!

Tong Yi immediately said, "Of course, if I can say this, I can do it naturally."

Upon hearing this, Wenger's fists clenched instantly.

Wenger immediately said, "If you can help us get Aubameyang, we at Arsenal will sell Giroud to you. But the price must be negotiated. Is 12 million too little?"

In Tong Yi's past life memory, Chelsea spent 18 million pounds when they introduced Giroud half a year later.

so he

At this time, a tentative offer of 12 million pounds was made.

It seems that Wenger's reaction is not very intense, which means there is something going on.

Tong Yi immediately started bargaining with Wenger. Although the Crystal Palace did not owe any debts, after all, it was his own business and he could only save as much as he could.

So after repeated bargaining, Crystal Palace officially acquired Arsenal's Olivier Giroud for 15.5 million pounds!

To be honest, Tong Yi is still very happy, after all, he can win Giroud cheaply!

However, this price also has a prerequisite, that is, Tong Yi must ensure that Dortmund sells Aubameyang. If that doesn't work, the deal can be canceled directly.

Therefore, for now, Tong Yi really has not introduced Giroud 100%.

But it’s almost the same!

At present, Aubameyang and Dortmund are having a bit of a quarrel, and Tong Yi directly approached his senior brother Klopp. Klopp once played for Dortmund, and the relationship between them is still very good. If he helps, there should be a chance.

Therefore, Tong Yi and Klopp both went out to persuade Dortmund and Aubameyang.

Of course, the most important thing is to persuade Dortmund to sell Aubameyang at this time.

After much persuasion, Dortmund agreed to sell Aubameyang. But Crystal Palace are selling Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund.

Sancho has indeed performed very well recently. When he was loaned to Nagelsmann, Hoffenheim performed very well and attracted the attention of Dortmund. He also performed very well at Sunderland last season, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists. At this time, it makes sense that Dortmund would like him.

However, Tong Yi is not willing to sell Sancho.

However, if he has to do it, he can still sell it. At this price, Dortmund may not be able to accept it! Because Tong Yi’s quotation is 30 million pounds!

After all, Tong Yi knows Sancho's potential, and Sancho may be worth over 100 million in the future. So at this time, he will not sell Sancho so easily. If it must be sold, it would be no discussion if it is less than 30 million pounds.

Even at 30 million pounds, he felt it was a bit of a loss.

After all, in two or three years, Sancho will be worth more than 80 million pounds.

Therefore, 30 million pounds is really a bit small at this time.

Of course, Dortmund expressed liver pain and said it was not worth it, and finally had to give up!

However, they still sold Aubameyang for 75 million pounds as promised!

Arsenal had the money and took it without batting an eye.

At the same time, Crystal Palace also officially introduced French center Olivier Giroud from Arsenal for 15.5 million pounds!
