Bring in another striker This was indeed brought up for discussion by the Liverpool board, but there was a problem. money In the list of players recommended by Liverpool's scouting team, Aston Villa's Belgian high center Benteke is ranked at the top.
This player ranks fifth in the Premier League scorer list this season, ranking second in Iran.
After Brahimovic, Suarez, Robin van Persie and Gareth Bale.
More importantly, although Benteke's contract with Aston Villa is still long, his weekly salary is very low, only 20,000 pounds, which is not worthy of the Belgian center's current outstanding performance, so the transfer market has been News of Benteke's transfer is spreading wildly.
But if you want to convince Aston Villa to let him go, it will cost you at least 20 million pounds.
In addition, Liverpool's scouts also recommended Bayern Munich's Swiss international Shaqiri, believing that the latter can effectively enhance the Red Army's frontcourt offense and ability to advance the ball, but this player is worth at least 15 million pounds. above.
Ian Ayre knew in his heart that it was simply impossible for the boss to shell out 35 million pounds for signings.
Therefore, if Liverpool wants to introduce Benteke and Shaqiri, there is only one way to sell Suarez and cash out.
It's just that this makes people feel unwilling to do so.
After all, Suarez is the only top-level star in the Liverpool team.
To put it bluntly, a player of Suarez's type is a strategic player for any team.
By selling Suarez, Liverpool has no hope of competing for the league title in the short term.
Yang Huan has always been paying attention to Ian Ayer, watching the latter's expression change, and he knew it well.
It would be difficult for anyone else to make such a bold decision.
But sometimes, only in this way can the team have a future "Ian" Yang looked at the general manager of Liverpool with a smile.
"If the Red Army is willing to sell Suarez, remember to inform me.
I am very interested."
After this season, Drogba may go to Monaco to retire.
By then, the front line will be supported by Ibrahimovic and Sturridge, which is seriously insufficient.
Therefore, it would be perfect if Suarez could be introduced again.
More importantly, Suarez is not just strong, he is also very comprehensive.
With his joining, Southampton can even try to learn from Liverpool in the previous life and form a double forward combination of Suarez and Sturridge to bring more tactical changes to Southampton.
And with Suarez, Neymar, Gareth Bale, Ibrahimovic, Hazard, Southampton's entire midfield and frontcourt players have really strong personal abilities.
By that time, let alone the entire Premier League, even in the European arena, who can stop it?
Thinking of this, Yang Huan really had an impulse to keep Neymar.
But he soon gave up on this tempting idea.
Because he knows that forcing Neymar to stay will do more harm than good to Southampton.
Ian Ayre is obviously not willing to talk more about Suarez, because he knows very well that the Uruguayan is now the core player of Liverpool and has attracted the attention of many European giants.
If it is not handled carefully, things will be in trouble. .
"Master Huan, I heard that the teams to be expanded to the International Champions Cup next year will be selected from the Asian Challenge teams, right?"
Yang Huan nodded, very frankly, "Yes, if there are no accidents, it should be so."
All current signs indicate that it is imperative to expand the International Champions Cup next year.
The reason is simple: the market response was too enthusiastic.
First, many countries and regions in Asia have offered an olive branch to Miracle Media, and then Australia in Oceania is also very interested.
In order to attract the International Champions Cup, Melbourne even offered a high government subsidy of 10 million pounds.
If the semi-finals and finals could be arranged in Melbourne, the government subsidies could be even higher.
In addition to Australia, Qatar in the Middle East is also very welcoming.
The conditions they offered are even more generous than Australia's.
If the International Champions Cup is willing to be held in Qatar, not only will all expenses be comprehensive, but the Qatari government will not only pay the team's appearance fees, but also provide high government subsidies.
All these made Miracle Media clearly realize that the International Champions Cup has great potential and expansion is imperative.
It was precisely because he heard these rumors that Ian Ayre was greatly moved.
Liverpool's owner is from the United States, and its sponsor is Brave Sports, a subsidiary of New Balance in the United States.
In this case, if Liverpool can participate in the International Champions Cup, especially the International Champions Cup held in the United States, it will be of great help to the Red Army.
Besides, no one in European football now knows that whoever participates in the International Champions Cup will make a lot of money.
"Master Huan, I don't know if we at Liverpool have a chance to become a formal member."

Yang Huan looked at Ian Ayre and smiled slightly, "We are still studying the issue of army expansion.
The specific quota has not yet been determined.
Liverpool is also our main consideration, but the specific situation still depends on the company's research results."
Ian Ayer was a little disappointed after hearing this.
He knew very well that this was Yang Huan's Tai Chi pusher.
What company research results To put it bluntly, whoever Miracle Media wants to choose can participate.
The popularity of the International Champions Cup, the attention of the media, the enthusiasm of fans, and the excellent competition schedule.
As long as the reputation of the participating teams is not too bad and the strength is not too weak, it will not matter who participates.
In terms of strength, Arsenal is better than Chelsea How can there be only one Juventus in Serie A?
But Ian Ayre didn't dare to ask any more questions about this kind of thing.
Yang Huan saw everything, and he knew it well.
In Yang Huan's view, with Ferguson's retirement, Manchester United is bound to enter a period of adjustment; Manchester City's poor performance this season will definitely usher in turmoil; Chelsea's team metabolism is only halfway through, even if Mourinho returns next season Entering the palace, the prospect may hardly bring surprises.
In this way, Southampton will usher in a God-given opportunity.
Even if he does not win the championship in the end this season, next season, Yang Huan will lead Southampton to win a league championship and make a difference in the Champions League.
But this is just a short-term strategy So, what's the Saints' long-term strategy?
It's very simple, that is to run the Premier League into the Saints' back garden La Liga has Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Bundesliga has Bayern Munich, and in the future, the Premier League will belong to Southampton.
To do this, just having money is useless.
Therefore, in the past, Yang Huan supported the Football Association's youth training reform in promoting the Glorious Revolution, actively played a role within the Premier League, worked hard to maintain good relations with other Premier League teams, and so on.
Even when Southampton participates in the League Cup and FA Cup, if the team they encounter is from a lower league, all the Saints' ticket revenue will not be charged, and all of it will be given to the opponent.
Some teams with poor stadium conditions or poor attendance will take the initiative to arrange the game venue at St.
Mary's Stadium, because in this way, they can earn at least hundreds of thousands of pounds per game.
Think about it, for those lower league teams, hundreds of thousands of pounds, an astronomical sum.
But for Southampton, hundreds of thousands of pounds is indeed a lot of money, but from another perspective, fans enjoy low ticket prices, the team occupies the advantage of home court, has greater hopes of promotion, and can also win praise and gratitude from opponents. .
Therefore, Southampton’s reputation in the Premier League is now extremely good.
In addition, Yang Huan also actively attracted some interest alliances.
For example, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
To put it bluntly, these two teams are Southampton's strongest leagues in the Premier League, and only Southampton follows suit.
The relationship between Manchester United and Arsenal and Southampton is also growing day by day.
After all, they have common interests.
Only Chelsea and Newcastle have a very bad relationship with Southampton.
However, with everyone in the Premier League and even the English football world praising Southampton, a very small number of negative reviews from one or two teams will not harm the overall situation at all.
In Yang Huan's own words, the Saints' nine-character secret to conquering the Premier League is: build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly.
In the 30th round of the Premier League, Southampton finally defeated Liverpool 3-1 at home at St.
Mary's Stadium with three goals from Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Ibrahimovic.
In the second half, Suarez relied on his personal ability to dig out a goal from Southampton's steel defense.
This also amazed Yang Huan who was watching the game in the stands, and he became even more determined to poach Liverpool.
But Ian Ayre's attitude is still clear and he refuses to let go on Suarez's transfer.
Yang Huan also reciprocated the favor and was ambiguous about Liverpool's participation in the International Champions Cup.
Because Manchester United defeated Reading the day before, even if Southampton defeated Liverpool and won everyone's praise and recognition, it still failed to shorten the points gap with Manchester United.
The gap between the two teams is still eight points After beating Liverpool, Southampton then defeated Basel in Switzerland 2-0 at home.
Scoring for Southampton were Didier Drogba and Gareth Bale.
Over the weekend, Southampton traveled north to Liverpool to compete in the FA Cup quarter-finals, away to Everton.
In the end, with goals from Varane, Vidal and Sturridge, Southampton defeated Everton 3-0 away from home.
Although Moyes' team was playing at home, they ultimately failed to stop the wolf-like Southampton and had to suffer at home and were eliminated from the FA Cup.
In the middle of the week, the second leg of the Europa League knockout round of 16 ushered in.

Southampton defeated Basel 1-0 away from home.
It was Neymar who scored the crucial goal for Southampton.
In the end, with a total score of 3-0 and an excellent record of double play in two rounds, Basel was successfully eliminated and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
In the draw for the quarter-finals, Southampton drew Lazio of Serie A.
This weekend, the thirty-round match of the Premier League ushered in.
Manchester United's away game against Sunderland was held one day earlier than Southampton.
As a result, Ferguson's team relied on an own goal gifted by their opponent to defeat Martin O'Neill's Black Cat Sunderland away from home.
This also makes the entire English media community feel lucky for Manchester United.
If you look purely at the game process, a zero-to-zero draw is a more reasonable score, because Manchester United did not create very good scoring opportunities throughout the game.
But who would have thought that an own goal would help Manchester United get another three points.
At the post-match press conference, Ferguson smiled like that with his old face, grinning from ear to ear, and kept saying that Manchester United had scored precious three points and achieved a crucial victory.
Not to mention that the opponent Southampton encountered in this round of the league was Chelsea.
Even if the Saints really beat Chelsea and got three points, can they still catch up with an eight-point gap after seven league rounds?
Anyway, fewer and fewer people believe that Southampton will create miracles:
