Chapter 110 New Recruitment Plan
Chapter 110 New Recruitment Plan
Then there's Perisic, who currently plays for Inter Milan, and Kvalatschria, a young player who plays for Rustavi.
The last name is rather unique.
He is Bojan Krkic, a super talent who was once widely regarded as a potential successor to Messi.
Perisic is 29 years old this year, and Li Yanqing knows this player very well.
Mourinho had wanted to sign him when he was at Manchester United. He can play on both wings, has a well-rounded ability, good speed, and a good shot.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious.
That's too expensive, starting at 50 million.
Even if the player himself is willing to come, Li Yanqing cannot spend most of his budget on him.
Next is Kvalatskhya.
This young player is only 17 years old. After watching his match highlights, Li Yanqing immediately took out his information separately.
Although he is young, he has strong assist ability and good dribbling skills. Moreover, he is not a player from a big club, so they can buy him at a very reasonable price.
This perfectly matches Li Yanqing's requirements.
Just in time to take over Jamie's shift.
As for Bojan Korkic at the end...
He had certainly heard of the other party's reputation.
Barcelona's next superstar after Messi, but he's definitely injury-prone, as injuries have prevented his development from reaching expectations.
This 27-year-old striker has been completely abandoned by Barcelona.
This can be seen from the fact that he has played for seven different teams throughout his career.
Li Yanqing did not deny that activating him might unleash considerable power, but he was not confident about eliminating the "Glassy Man" attribute.
Even Nasri's gluttonous nature is beyond his control...
Next up is the halftime break.
The goal is to add at least one player, whether offensive, defensive, or box-to-box; Li Yanqing is open to all options.
The list includes Donny van de Beek, who currently plays for Ajax, and Zakaria, a midfielder for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The last name was still a bit of a surprise.
It's Arsenal midfielder Cazorla.
First is Van de Beek, the 21-year-old who has already made a name for himself and has been a regular starter for Ajax for two years.
In fact, Li Yanqing had been following Ajax's matches.
I think Van de Beek's off-the-ball movement is very good, and if he were to partner with Quinn, it would be a great way to help him create space in the middle.
At the same time, he has a good offensive awareness, but his defense is not so good.
He can be considered a purely attacking midfielder.
Actually, he was still very attractive to Li Yanqing, and much cheaper than his teammate De Jong, who was also a core player in the team.
However, it would be difficult to acquire without 20 million.
Moreover, the other team probably wouldn't want to come to Burton now, even if they get promoted.
Staying at Ajax and having the chance to play in the Champions League is still very attractive to players.
Then there's Zakaria.
The 22-year-old player plays as a defensive midfielder, and judging from the video, he seems quite composed.
But the problem is similar: he's a key player for Borussia Mönchengladbach and probably won't come to Burton.
The most likely candidate is actually veteran Cazorla.
They had already witnessed the veteran's ability in their previous match against Arsenal.
Name: Cazorla
Age: 33 years old.
Status: Normal.
Fatigue level: 30%.
Probability of injury: 20%.
Terms: [Short Passing Combination], [Master Penalty Kick Specialist], [Master Through Ball], [Midfield Commander]
Age isn't a major issue; players of this caliber are unlikely to come to Burton if they were still young.
The main reason is that the opponent was sidelined for the entire 16-17 season due to injury.
Although no major problems remained, the previous state could never be regained.
He will leave Arsenal as a free agent after this season ends.
If the salary can be negotiated, Li Yanqing wouldn't mind having another experienced veteran on the team.
As long as he isn't overworked, he'll be able to regain his form sooner or later.
Hmm... I need to find some time to contact Professor Wenger again.
Regarding the defense, he had previously confirmed Danny Rose, David Luiz, and James Justin.
The only one that can be confirmed is Justin, and David Lewis has already been removed from the list.
This time, Felchar didn't recommend any new players, only two veterans.
Pepe, a 34-year-old veteran currently playing for the small club Besiktas, and Alex Song, 30.
The reputations of these two players back then could only be described as legendary.
They're all known as tough guys...
Pepe, in particular, has earned the nickname "fighting monk" because of his bald head.
It must be said that Li Yanqing liked them quite a bit.
Pepe played for Real Madrid for ten years, so his ability is beyond question. He was also Cristiano Ronaldo's closest teammate.
His contract expires in six months, and if the player himself is willing, he can be signed for a very low price.
Then came the Song Dynasty.
This is a typical "black and tough" player who played for Barcelona during his peak. He could play in multiple positions such as defensive midfielder and center-back, and his technical style was not much different from Pepe's.
However, it's unlikely that the two of them will play on the same team.
Having one senior figure in the team is enough.
Li Yanqing favors Peipei more.
The main reason is that Song is probably not focused on playing football anymore.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up playing for a small team at such a young age.
Finally, there's the goalkeeper position.
He hopes to sign a young player for this position, then loan him out, so that he can take over from Joe Hart in two years.
However, Felchar doesn't have any good candidates to recommend at the moment.
I've heard that young Buffon is planning to leave Juventus at the end of this season, but he probably wants to go to a team that has a chance to compete for the Champions League.
Moreover, the wages are beyond their means.
The preliminary list of new signings has already been finalized.
Forward: Kvalatskhria; Bojan is pending.
In midfield, Cazorla is in charge, and Van de Beek is pending.
For guards, Justin and Pepe are available, with Danny Rose being a potential addition.
The budget seems sufficient.
The more expensive ones are mainly Van de Beek, if the other party is willing to come.
If he doesn't come, Li Yanqing will consider using the remaining money to buy a big-name player.
For example, Marchisio of Juventus.
Or perhaps, I've heard that Iniesta is also preparing to leave Barcelona...
