"Li, don't deny it. I'm guessing that Cambiasso must be dissatisfied with his current situation in the team," Wenger said. "The Argentine is a capable player, but your positioning of him is only Carlos's substitute. He's only a rotational player, which clearly doesn't meet the player's requirements."
"The stronger he is, the stronger his dissatisfaction will be. In the future, he will become a bomb in the locker room. Or should I say, he has already become a hidden danger in Inter Milan's locker room?" Wenger said with a chuckle.
Chuckle, my ass.
The Frenchman is not a good person.
Even though Wenger's tone and manner of speaking made Li Ang unhappy, he had to admit that Wenger's words made sense. In fact, Li Ang's sharp senses had caught onto Cambiasso's dissatisfaction. With Cambiasso's ability and his rising age, he was definitely one of the top five defensive midfielders in Serie A right now. In any powerhouse team, he would be able to occupy a main position. However, the existence of the even younger Carlos firmly blocked Cambiasso's main position.
In Li Ang's first season at Inter Milan, he used his iron fist to intimidate the entire team, and Cambiasso obediently became a substitute.
However, in the second season, Cambiasso was still a substitute. Even though his performance as a substitute and rotational player was very good, the Argentine discovered that the manager's first choice was always Carlos. In the long run, it was impossible to say that Cambiasso did not have any resentment in his heart.
However, Li Ang's strong pressure and the halo of leading Inter Milan to these championship titles temporarily suppressed Cambiasso's dissatisfaction. However, there was already dissatisfaction. In the long run, it would lead to chaos and conflict in the locker room sooner or later.
Just as Wenger said, if Cambiasso continued to stay in Inter Milan, he could become a hidden danger in Inter Milan's locker room.
The professor was very crafty.
*****
"You see, Cambiasso could become a hidden danger in Inter Milan's locker room, and I happen to need an Argentine here. So, letting Cambiasso come to Arsenal is a win-win for us," Wenger said with a smile.
Wenger had only met Wenger at the Champions League draw before. They had a simple chat and did not have any in-depth communication. Now, he realized that the Frenchman was simply an old hand. He was definitely a swindler.
"I think you're right. This could be a win-win situation." Li Ang pretended to think for a while and then gave an answer that made Wenger happy.
The professor was very happy and immediately talked about the friendship between Inter Milan and Arsenal.
However, before the professor could be happy for more than ten seconds, Li.... How about this? We'll take the initiative to reduce the price by ten million euros! This is enough to show our sincerity in maintaining our friendship with Arsenal. "
"Forty million euros? Cough cough cough! " . "Wenger exclaimed on the other end of the phone. He even coughed because he was too excited." That's impossible! You know, our Henry went to Barcelona for only 24 million euros. That's Henry, our captain. "
Henry was transferred to La Liga powerhouse Barcelona for 24 million euros not long after the start of the summer transfer market. This caused a shock in the European football world. Barcelona continued their fine tradition of selling a captain every season.
*****
"Henry is already twenty-nine, but Cambiasso is only twenty-six," Li Ang said.
"That's Henry, one of the best strikers on the planet." Wenger was not satisfied with Li Ang's comparison based on age.
"Of course, even a thirty-year-old Henry is very strong." Li Ang accepted Wenger's protest. He smacked his lips and said, "So, it's really hard for me to understand. You sold one of the best strikers in the world for only 24 million euros from Barcelona. If it were me, I would make Barcelona pay at least 40 million euros. However, I won't sell my team's captain. My team's captain won't think about leaving either. "
Everyone on Earth knew that Henry chose to leave Arsenal not because of money or other factors. He went to Barcelona and even accepted a pay cut. There was no other reason. The French superstar desired the Champions League trophy. He was completely disappointed with Arsenal and thought that if he stayed at Arsenal, he would not be able to get his hands on the trophy until he retired.
So, Li Ang did not know where to start.
"Ahem … Let's not talk about Thierry … The past is the dust of history," Wenger said as he spoke. Wenger spoke like a poet. "Let's continue talking about Cambiasso. Li, 40 million euros is a price that Arsenal simply cannot afford!"
"Mr. Wenger!" Li Ang did not address him as "Professor." He said in a slightly dissatisfied tone, "You definitely know Cambiasso's strength and importance. You know better than me what kind of price a player like him is worth."
"All right then!" Wenger was silent for half a minute. He seemed to have made a great decision. "We'll raise the price! 13 million euros! "
Li Ang almost choked to death. He was so angry!
*****
"Are you kidding, Mr. Arsène Wenger?" He simply called Wenger by his full name. He was very angry with the Frenchman. Wenger seemed to have made a great decision. He thought the other side would quote a high price. It was actually 13 million!
Li Ang asked for 40 million, but Wenger directly cut the price to 13 million!
When it came to bargaining skills, it was all up to Professor Wen!
Li Ang resisted the urge to vomit blood. He really wanted to ask Wenger on the other end of the phone: Aren't you afraid of being cut off by bargaining like this?
"We're already very sincere. Arsenal's funds are not abundant right now," Wenger said.
Get lost if you have money!
Li Ang said in a bad mood, "Now it seems that there's a big difference between us."
Li Ang did not continue to say anything, but he believed that Wenger should have understood: This deal is off! Goodbye!
"All right." Wenger sighed regretfully. "Li, I think you'll feel our sincerity after you calm down."
I'll feel your ancestors' feelings!
Li Ang could not be bothered to continue wasting time with the Frenchman. He muttered and hung up the phone.
The deal fell through.
Of course, this deal did not really seem to have started. With Wenger's stingy style, it would be strange if he could bring in a big name star player. It was no wonder that he could only scout for some small players. He even won a good reputation for having a good eye and being good at grooming young people. Tsk tsk.
You want to take Cambiasso away with 13 million euros?!
Dream on!
Li Ang's psychological bottom line was between 25 million and 30 million euros. Based on his communication with Wenger, the Frenchman definitely did not have the courage to throw out this amount of money.
