The first Mr. Billion Yuan! Liverpool, who doesn t buy yachts, finally buys superstars
The first 100 million yuan man in the market this summer was born unexpectedly in the early morning of this summer.
Liverpool officially announced that Leverkusen midfielder Wilz officially joined, with a total transfer fee of 116 million pounds equal to 136.3 million euros, of which the fixed transfer fee is 100 million pounds (117.5 million euros), and a floating clause of 16 million pounds (18.8 million euros). The core of the pharmaceutical factory has become the most expensive German player in history and has also set a new record for "import" in the Premier League market.
Since the decision to leave Leverkusen, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Manchester City, Bayern and Liverpool has finally come to an end with Wilz's love. However, in recent years, Fenway Group, which has been shrinking its front line in the market, has used its team profits to buy yachts. Why did Fenway Group enter the market with high profile this summer and buy people crazy?
to grab people by strength, and to support them by their peers, and then let you join. Compared with Bayern, who relies on the advantage of geographical advantages and Manchester City, which can provide higher salaries, Wilz's choice of Liverpool is quite a bit like "join if you can't beat it."
In November last year, Leverkusen encountered Liverpool away in the Champions League stage. Although the media raided Alonso "going home" before the game, the Spanish young coach who refused Liverpool to choose Real Madrid led the team to lose 0-4 at his old place, and Wilz was also defeated by Slot.
"It's too difficult to play against Liverpool. We ran so much in the whole game, but almost every confrontation was at a disadvantage. Since then, I have been particularly eager to be a member of this team."
Despite its natural competitive favorability, it is obvious that the whereabouts of Wiltz's transfer do not depend entirely on himself. The "pharmaceutical factories" who know that they are hard to keep their core are not ready to let them go easily. They insist on not having to negotiate non-liquidated damages. After all, Bayern and Manchester City are also eyeing Wilz.
The end of the season, the Wiltz family began to take turns to inspect three potential teams, and the different attitudes of the three teams finally made Wiltz firm in his original aspirations.
The first to be eliminated was Bayern, who seemed to be holding the most hands. Because when Jonathan Taylor transferred to Bayern on his own free transfer, he insisted that the former report in advance and was unwilling to pay the additional transfer fee, his arrogant attitude angered Leverkusen. General manager Rollfice insisted that Bayern must pay a liquidated damages of 150 million euros.
Wilz's father and agent Hans Joachim Wilz and Bayern honorary chairman Heness were old acquaintances, who were full of confidence in this relationship and did not officially start negotiations until mid-May. What's even more fatal is that Werz, who has overlapping positions with Musiara in the national team, is particularly sensitive to the competition that continues to the club, while Bayern coach Kompani is vague about this.
Bayern, who was "lack of sincerity", was the first to be eliminated, and Manchester City, who took over the negotiations, also lost because they refused to talk in depth.
On the surface, the Blue Moon after De Bruyne left urgently needs a new core, and Guardiola is also the White Moonlight of all top players, but Wiltz is particularly concerned about Guardiola's stay and leaving. After a failed season, it is really doubtful whether the Spaniard, whose contract ends in 2027, is still coaching at Manchester City.
On the other hand, Wiltz's high salary is also a huge risk for Manchester City, which is determined to optimize the salary structure and give up redundant staff as soon as possible. The team has promised to give Haaland a high salary that is the only Premier League tier, but marginal people such as Grelish, Walker, Calvin Phillips cannot handle it at all. In the end, Manchester City cut Werz's transfer budget into zero, introduced Reindez, Sherki and Ait Nuri, and announced their withdrawal in disguise.
Therefore, Liverpool became Wilz's only choice. The two sides repeatedly negotiated on the composition of transfer fees, the nature of additional terms and specific trigger conditions. In the end, Liverpool gave a 25% discount on the "down payment", including various forward terms of the Golden Ball Award, which is also in line with the vision of Leverkusen and Wilz.
New challenge, old character
As the offensive firepower in European football last season comparable to Paris, Barcelona and Bayern, Liverpool's overall style is still stronger than defense, and there are many superstars in the frontcourt. What role does Wilz, who is a versatile specialty play in Liverpool?
Compared with Guardiola and Kompany, Slot gave a clear answer: Wiltz still plays the leading midfielder he is best at in Liverpool, and the possibility of challenging other positions is not ruled out.
Previously, Sobosloy was at the forefront of Liverpool's three midfielder, but the Hungarian could almost play any role in the midfield and frontcourt, and even have the possibility of playing as the pseudo-9. The arrival of Wiltz means that Liverpool's frontcourt, which has a big gap in starting and substitute last season, has more personnel choices.
Although he looks a little thin, Wiltz may not be unable to adapt to the fierce confrontation in the Premier League. Last season, Werz, who ranked second, was only behind Olisse in terms of the number of counter-tacks in the offensive third zone. His pass success rate of up to 88.8% can also reduce the burden on Heraffenberg and McAllister.
Of course, among Liverpool's "data brushes", Wilz is also the one who can play particularly. In the season when the pharmaceutical factory reached the top unbeaten, Werz delivered a double-double in the Bundesliga with only 34 rounds. Salah is the only one who has been able to stabilize the "double-double" in recent years.
But for the Premier League champion, in addition to enriching personnel, Wilz's arrival is also a pioneer in the alternation of new and old players.
Although Liverpool's personnel structure was obviously difficult to reasonably apart. The core of the team is still Salah, 33, and Van Dijk, 34, who have shown rare performances among superstars of the same age, but considering the weekly salary of up to 400,000 pounds after the contract renewal, the cost-effectiveness of the contract is still questionable, let alone whether the contract can be fulfilled.
Another problem that cannot be ignored is that Liverpool's age structure has "difference" risk when a large number of echelon products were sent away last summer and Liverpool's age structure is being sold this summer. The Mesozoic generation between the 25 and 30 years old are mostly role players, not the core of the team..
22-year-old Wilz naturally connects with Liverpool in age. During the contract period of Salah and others, he was still a U23 player and could continue to increase his ball and position. Once the "Pharaoh" bid farewell, it would be natural to take over.
For more than 30 years in the Premier League, Liverpool has been willing to introduce German internationals. Babel, Zieg and Harman in the early years, and Emre Jam later, all left footprints at Anfield. Now, the expectations that Wilz shoulders are obviously unprecedented in history.
willing to spend money, it is better than anything else
Last season, Liverpool, who was in a state as the best in the European continent in the first half, once went for the wild goal of winning the championship in the fourth line, but it was February. The Premier League leader who suffered a defeat in the Champions League and the League Cup within a week finally came back with great success, which also proved the truth of a solid battle: relying solely on the "most-final formation" can't cope with multi-line combat.
In the Klopp era, Liverpool upgraded from one of the top six to back-to-back to winning the Champions League and the Premier League, which was precisely the crazy buying of people.
As the two most eye-catching "Three Red Arrows", Salah and Mane were both young transparent before joining the team, but their value was already at the forefront. In the winter window of 2018, the team poached central defender Van Dijk with a record 75 million pounds, and their top-heavy habits have greatly improved. After losing the Big Ear Cup in unforgettable that summer, Fenway immediately invested another 72.5 million euros, introducing Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson, who had only one year of experience in Serie A, and the team's last shortcoming was made up.
Especially after tyrannizing Europe in 2019, Fenway, which has achieved huge returns in investment over the years, promised to "stay all" the championship lineup, but corner characters such as Origi, Takumi Minami, and Larana were still dismissed. Then there were Mane and Firmino among the three Red Arrows. When the Saudis were shopping all over Europe in the summer of 2023, captain Henderson and Ganchen Fabinho also boarded the fast-money flight together.
In the post-Klopp era, although Liverpool introduced famous players such as Nunes, Hakepo, Dias, McAllister, and Sobosloy to enrich the team, the investment intensity is no longer comparable. Especially in terms of player treatment, you can save as much as you can.
On the one hand, the failed deals like Nunez have intensified the volatility of Liverpool's record during the reconstruction period. On the other hand, the long-term low-paying contract has finally caused many backbones to feel rift. The team's poaching by the Saudi League is only the first step. Arnold's departure, who is well-off, can also prove that the championship may not necessarily be able to retain people.
Of course, the one who is most dissatisfied with the capital's shrinking monetary policy is Liverpool fans. Although other sports teams invested by Fenway were also living a tight life during the same period, John Henry II bought a lot of luxury goods such as yachts during this period, and the contrast between the luxury of investors and the team's financial difficulties is particularly obvious.
Now, Fenway, who has finally come back to his senses, at least this summer's recruitment answer is worthy of high praise. In addition to Wilz, they also activated the liquidated damages for Flynnon, who is also a teammate of the pharmaceutical factory. Kolkz's joining also entered the countdown. Considering that Liverpool, who did not participate in the Club World Cup, did not receive huge bonuses, every transfer was spent on Henry's own pocket. For Fenway, who has been deeply involved in rumors of re-sale in recent years, spending money is more clarified than any other method.
Of course, buying Wiltz is always a sure-fire deal. Whether it is the overall value of the team or the appreciation potential of the players, it is worth looking at. Liverpool, which has never been trading at a loss, will make a profit even if he really wants to sell people to cash out in the future. After all, Coutinho, the first 100 million yuan sold by the Premier League, is a former Liverpool player.
