Chapter 288 Nike raises prices
After joining Lazio, Klose quickly locked in the team's main shooting position.
In Serie A and Europa League, the German scorer started almost every game, playing for 90 minutes.
As a 33-year-old veteran, being able to have such attendance rate means that he is in good health, and on the other hand, it also shows that he is an indispensable core player in Lazio.
It was precisely because of Klose's help that the Blue Eagles took off again and Lazio returned to the Serie A championship ranks.
In the words of German media, after conquering the Fritzwalter Stadium in Kaiserslautern, the Vissy Stadium in Bremen, and the Allianz Stadium in Munich, "King Milo" is conquering the Roman Olympic Stadium in the Apennines.
Such a powerful player is exactly what Sampdoria needs.
Among the current strikers of Sampdoria, Biabiani is more suitable for the winger. Macarone performed very well. Pozzi's strength is OK, but he is more likely to be injured.
Another forward young player Macheda, who came on loan from Manchester United, was amazing in his debut at Sampdoria. But the more he went, his performance became more mediocre. After Pochi returned from injury, Macheda never had the chance to play again.
After the end of this season, Machedad will definitely return to Manchester United. Regardless of whether Manchester United will sell Machedad or not, Sampdoria will not be able to spend money to buy him.
Under such circumstances, Sampdoria will definitely need to replenish the team's forward line next season.
And Klose is a perfect candidate.
In the second half of last season, after establishing Chu Jiang's main position, Sampdoria's number of goals conceded sharply with his outstanding performance. However, the poor attacks of the forward players caused them to be unable to break the deadlock on the court on many occasions. In many cases, they could only rely on Chu Jiang's free kick to save the team.
For Chu Jiang, he not only needs to do a good job in the team's defense, but also needs to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's scoring. The pressure is really great!
Moreover, Chu Jiang is not omnipotent. Although his ability to take free kicks is excellent, he also needs to be strong enough for the frontcourt players to help him get a better position free kick.
This season, Chu Jiang's outstanding set-piece ability made all Serie A opponents fall apart by surprise. Among them, Inter Milan also lost the Italian Cup championship.
In next season, all Serie A teams will definitely make special arrangements for Chu Jiang's characteristics. They may not be able to defend Chu Jiang's free kicks, but they can reduce the number of defensive fouls in key positions and advance the foul position.
At this time, if the frontcourt players are still as weak as last season, Chu Jiang may not even be able to get a chance to take a free kick.
If the offensive striker is weak and Chu Jiang does not have a good free kick opportunity, Sampdoria is destined to play for another season. With Chu Jiang here, although Sampdoria will not fall to fighting for relegation, it is definitely unlikely to achieve good results.
If you want to go further in the league, Sampdoria must improve the attacking ability of frontcourt players. And Klose, who has a very strong scoring ability, is almost a perfect candidate.
If Klose can be successfully introduced, Sampdoria will gain a highly capable offensive fulcrum. With his support in the midfield and frontcourt, the team's offensive power can be increased by at least one level.
Moreover, Kloze can not only shoot himself, but also disrupt the opponent's defense line and force the opponent to use fouls to block Sampdoria's attack. In this way, Chu Jiang will naturally not lack the opportunity to take a free kick.
If in order to avoid Chu Jiang's free kick and the opponent deliberately does not foul during defense, Klose will have a relatively large space for play, and his excellent scoring ability can give the opponent a fatal blow at any time.
Emptying Klose and giving Chu Jiang a chance to set the ball are the same danger!
It can be said that if Klose can join Sampdoria, the effect he can bring will be very obvious.
If this transaction is successful, it will be a perfect win-win for both Klose and Chu Jiang.
Therefore, Chu Jiang had great expectations for signing in Klose.
Moreover, for Garone, it doesn't cost too much money to sign Cloze.
First of all, the transfer fee is definitely not needed, because Klose's contract expires in one month, and Bayern Munich cannot renew his contract with him. At this time, if a team is willing to accept Klose, Bayern Munich will definitely be very happy to send Klose away in advance.
In Chu Jiang's previous life, Bayern Munich did this. After Lazio and Klose agreed on personal terms, Bayern Munich happily terminated the last month's contract with Klose and did not set any obstacles to the veteran's transfer.
In this life, the same situation should not change at all.
Secondly, Klose's salary is not very high.
In his previous life, Lazio once wanted to sign a contract with Klose with an annual salary of 1.8 million euros.
After some negotiations, Lazio increased Klose's salary by 200,000 euros, from 1.8 million euros to 2 million euros. Then, Klose readily completed the signing of Lazio.
In Sampdoria, the current player with the team's maximum salary is captain Palonbo, whose annual salary is 2.6 million euros.
This means that even if you give a salary of 2 million yuan as Lazio, Klose's salary is still within Sampdoria's salary structure.
Sampdoria is equally affordable for such a deal.
Getting such a high-level shooter for free is not expensive, and such a transaction is a great example of great value. The only thing that may hinder this transaction is Klose's age.
How to convince the team boss Garone to make the decision to sign the elderly Klose will be a difficult problem facing Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang can't run over and tell the boss that he was reborn. Before he was reborn, Klose performed very well, so he led Lazio to the top three or something...
If Chu Jiang really does this, the most likely result is that Garone invites the best psychiatrist in Genoa to perform a comprehensive examination of Chu Jiang's paranoia...
Therefore, if you want to complete this deal, Chu Jiang must get the help of Raiola, let him as his spokesperson negotiate with Garone, and at the same time put pressure on Garone through the power of the media and fans.
Then, Chu Jiang found a way to do the job of Tong's head coach Cavacin, and asked him to take the initiative to apply to Garone to sign Klose.
Cavacin's job is much easier than doing work for Garone.
As a head coach, Cavacin must know that what the team lacks the most is a shooter with a stable goal rate. Cavacin will never refuse a shooter of a level like Klose.
Moreover, with Chu Jiang's important position in the head coach's mind, he will definitely attach great importance to Chu Jiang's suggestions.
With the help of Raiola and the efforts of head coach Cavacin, Chu Jiang was not worried that Garone would not submit.
Garone was a little stingy, but the deal didn't cost him much. With the joint application of the team's core players and head coach, his chances of agreeing to sign Klose are not low.
Even Raiola couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard Chu Jiang's plan.
In order to get Garone to sign in Klose, Chu Jiang racked his brains. In Raiola's opinion, he would definitely not be happy to do such unselfish things that are beneficial to others.
As a player's agent, it's awkward to convince a club chairman to sign another player who is not his own.
However, he couldn't help but Chu Jiang's insistence.
Chu Jiang believes that if Sampdoria gets a good ranking next season, his value will naturally rise, and Raiola can also gain more benefits from it when transferring in the future.
Raiola recognizes this.
Therefore, under Chu Jiang's insistence, Raiola had to do a "Lei Feng" for Sampdoria.
From this incident, Raiola saw Chu Jiang's persistence and also realized Chu Jiang's desire for honor. During the whole process, Chu Jiang never even asked what kind of contract he could get from Sampdoria.
The only thing he cares about is what if he stays in Sampdoria, how can he maximize the strength of the team, how can he achieve the best results, and how can he pursue the highest honor.
"This is a player who has dreams and is obsessed with dreams."
This is how Raiola commented on Chu Jiang.
During the discussion between the two, Raiola's Audi car slowly approached its first in the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
The two did not stop in this bustling city and rushed directly to their destination today, Nike's European headquarters.
There, Mr. Green, director of the business planning department of Nike's European headquarters, had been waiting for a long time.
Accompanied by Mr. Green, Chu Jiang and Raiola came to the conference room specially prepared by Nike for the signing ceremony.
Since the agreement was signed before, the formal contract was not signed. Therefore, when the contract was finally signed, Raiola was preparing to conduct the last round of brief negotiations to try whether he could win a higher sponsorship contract for Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang's decisive performance in the Italian Cup final was the weight of Raiola's last round of negotiations.
As an agent known as a "vampire", Raiola is always thinking about making the most possible profits.
