But Mascherano's idea is different. He is a midfielder, not a forward. It is not easy to excel in a small team in this position. Even if he plays well, the giants are used to observing for a while before taking action. For a player, how many years can be observed? Moreover, he believes that now is also the best time for him to transfer to a European team. After all, at this time, there are not many wealthy families in the world who are worth it. Real Madrid bought M Diarra, and then there are rumors that they want to introduce Argentina's talented player Gago, while Barcelona is rumored to buy Yaya Toure and supplement his weak backcourt lineup.

After a long scandal with Senna, Manchester United, under pressure from all sides, focused on Hargreaves, who is also of great strength, but his nationality is England. Everyone lacks a midfielder, so it is time for Mascherano to transfer now. After all, he can see clearly that putting the contract in the agency company is always unreliable. South America's habits have to change when they arrive in Europe. If it remains unchanged, it will be easy to be excluded. He does not want to be excluded by the giant teams because of reasons other than competition. Therefore, he is also seeking to get rid of the agency company and transfer once and for all to solve the problem.

The reason he found for himself was good: the coach of West Ham United clearly stated that he didn't like him during his trial training, which gave him enough reason to not go to West Ham United. Seeing his idea, his agent company also said that he could consider selling him, but the money could not be less.

It was in this situation that Liverpool contacted him. In fact, he didn't have many choices at this time. The situation in Serie A is not very clear now. Although Inter Milan has become very strong and is a good choice, their main midfielder is Cambiaso. It is difficult for Mascherano to beat Cambiaso, who has a high qualification and a high status in Inter Milan.

Moreover, another problem is that Mascherano's nationality is Argentina, and he does not have an EU passport. Although he entrusted personnel to check his family tree in detail, trying to find a little connection with Italy, and then apply for an Italian nationality for himself, it may be difficult to complete before the summer transfer period. La Liga and Serie A have non-European quotas, so his choice is not large, and Liverpool is his best choice.

"But, the biggest problem with this deal is that his transfer fee is as high as 20 million pounds."

"That's high!" Zhao Yaning blurted out his words.

Backcourt players are different from frontcourt players. Generally speaking, backcourt players will not be worth too high unless they are successful and outstanding world-class players. Especially Mascherano is just a South American and has never played in Europe, so it is indeed a bit sensational. When Zhao Yaning heard this amount of money, he also understood why Mascherano wanted to get rid of his agent company: such greed for money is indeed extremely rare.

"One aspect is that the players are really capable, and on the other hand, someone wants to get stuck with us."

Morse explained: his agency company has 11% of Abramovich's shares. Therefore, there have been rumors that Chelsea is interested in it and put it to West Ham United to adapt to the Premier League and wait for the transfer to Chelsea. Such rumors are unlikely to be true. After all, 11% of the shares will not have such influence. However, Abram is still okay with Liverpool's unhappy transfer fee requirements.

"Is he really worth so much money?" Abu's ubiquity made Zhao Yaning speechless, and this deal also made him silent. It is true that Mascherano is a good player, but he doesn't know whether it is worth so much money. Haman left, the team needs an excellent midfielder, but 20 million players...

"It should be worth it. Coach Benitez is optimistic about him and hopes to introduce him." Morse continued, "But there is a problem, he noticed this time. Mascherano's transfer fee is very high, and it may even be higher than your transfer fee. Coach Benitez doesn't want you to be upset, so he hopes to get your consent first. If you agree, we will buy him. If you don't want someone in the team to be more valuable than you, we can also buy a player with a lower value."

When Zhao Yaning heard this, he understood why he had to ask him about this matter. Zhao Yaning's transfer fee is now Liverpool's record. If Mascherano comes, it will break Zhao Yaning's transfer fee record. Such things may indeed cause dissatisfaction for top stars. In the past, Zhao Yaning did not care about these things, and the team would not discuss it with him. But now, Zhao Yaning has gotten angry and has a problem with his opinion. The club is afraid that it will make him unhappy again, so they will naturally come to ask him.

This made Zhao Yaning feel a little relieved. After a while, it was still useful. Morse said that this was Benitez's meaning, and Zhao Yaning didn't know if it was true. With his understanding of Benitez, it was difficult for Benitez to consider these things. This is more like Morse's smoothing out, the big boss of this team has been working hard to keep him all summer, and he has indeed done a lot of work.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaning felt much smoother.

"The transfer fee record doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether it's mine. As long as it doesn't destroy the salary structure, don't cause conflicts in the locker room." Zhao Yaning thought for a while and spoke. To be honest, he was still a little unhappy when he bought a midfielder for 20 million yuan, but Morse's job has done this, and he can't be too unreasonable. But even so, Zhao Yaning still raised the issue of salary structure: Mascherano's transfer fee can exceed himself, but his salary must be reduced. Zhao Yaning estimated that Mascherano can agree to this requirement. After all, Zhao Yaning's weekly salary is 90,000, and Mascherano cannot be higher than this. The reason why he put forward this requirement that is not a requirement is just to tell the team that he has no idea at all.

"Don't worry about this, I won't let his salary be higher than you. Moreover, I will try my best to suppress his transfer fee."

Morse promised that his attitude made Zhao Yaning unable to say anything. In Zhao Yaning's opinion, this attitude would be almost done, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chairman."

"This is for my club. Moreover, I have to thank you. You rejected the salary increase for the team's development, and I will let the media promote it for you. Such a righteous act should be taken seriously. The club has neglected in the past, so please forgive me."

"Anyway, the salary of foreign players in the Premier League is higher than 100,000 yuan. I don't like to be the first bird." Zhao Yaning nodded.

"It's already there." Morse smiled bitterly, "Have you heard of it? Chelsea signed Barack with a weekly salary of 110,000 yuan. The salary of foreign players in the Premier League has exceeded a new high."
