Naples' refusal of Liverpool's inquiry about Sánchez was not unexpected by Nyon—it would have been strange if they hadn't refused. After all, he wasn't trying to buy just any Tom, Dick, or Harry from Naples, any random player; he was trying to buy a near-starter, and someone who was part of Naples' future plans.

He had anticipated the difficulty of acquiring Sánchez. That's why he desperately tried to lower Inler's price when Naples and Udinese were negotiating, to prepare enough funds for buying Sánchez.

Naples had bought Sánchez from Udinese for 30 million euros, and Sánchez's performance in Naples had been clear for all to see. Trying to buy him for less than 30 million euros would probably be very difficult.

In addition to focusing on Sánchez and Inler, Nyon also wanted to bring in a reserve striker for the team.

He had his eye on Klasnić. The most famous thing about this former Croatian international wasn't his brilliant performance in any major tournament, nor was it that he had won any top scorer awards, but the fact that he had needed a kidney transplant due to renal insufficiency.

There are many players in the world of football who get sick, and heart disease is already a common disease for professional athletes. Kidney transplants are quite rare.

And that's exactly what happened to Klasnić.

Klasnić developed symptoms of renal insufficiency after an appendectomy, and as time went on, the condition became more severe, to the point where he had to have a kidney transplant. First, Klasnić's mother stepped forward and donated a kidney to help her son. But after the operation, there was a very serious rejection reaction, and the operation failed. Then Klasnić's father, old Klasnić, donated his kidney, which finally matched. In this way, the family paid the price of two kidneys to finally save their son's life.

Before Klasnić's kidney transplant, not many people believed he could return to the field.

But Klasnić miraculously recovered and returned to the field, and still performed well—he scored twice in a game a month after his comeback.

Now Klasnić has finished his four-year contract with Nantes and is a free agent. If Liverpool wants to get him, they can do so without spending a penny.

As a striker, Klasnić's characteristics are different from those of Suárez and Chen Yingxiong. He is a pure shooter, fast, with a certain amount of impact. As he gets older, his power is not as great as before, but he can be used as a substitute for the two of them, and he is guaranteed not to complain.

For Klasnić, the opportunity to join a giant like Liverpool at the end of his career is obviously something he can't ask for.

So for Nyon, Klasnić is the easiest transfer deal for him to secure.

And it is the earliest transfer reinforcement that Liverpool has finalized this summer.

He also did not give up his pursuit of Sahin. However, Real Madrid's attitude was ambiguous, saying "We will never give up Sahin," but Madrid was sending news every day that they planned to clean up Sahin.

Nyon plans to handle it coldly, first not expressing that Liverpool has any intention to pursue Sahin, and secretly observe. If the time is right, then take him down. If it really doesn't work, then forget it and wait and see. Anyway, in Martin O'Neill's plan, Sahin is not an indispensable figure, it is better to have him, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

In addition to looking around for players to buy, cleaning up the original players is also an important task.

Shelvey still has no place in the first team, and he may have to accept continuing to be loaned out. As long as he can play, he doesn't care whether it's at Liverpool or somewhere else.

There are also some other young players that Nyon plans to loan out appropriately, to give them opportunities to train.

The biggest problem is Henderson.

But Nyon does not intend to show mercy to Henderson.

It is important to remove dissidents quickly, otherwise, it will leave future troubles.

Anyway, Liverpool has too many people in the central midfield.

Losing one Henderson is not important.

However, it is not fair to Henderson to be cleaned up after only one season with the team, and those fans who like Henderson will be disappointed in Liverpool.

But these people are a minority after all, and Nyon doesn't need to be responsible for them.

So when the holiday was not over, the local media in Liverpool broke the news that the team planned to clean up Henderson.

This was actually Nyon's instruction to the media to spread the word, just to tell those potential buyers that we plan to sell Henderson.

Of course, letting the opponent know that they want to sell a certain player makes it inconvenient for them to raise the price. But Nyon also has a way. When he was interviewed by the media, he said that Henderson is actually the hope of the team, and so on. After talking for a long time, he just conveyed this message—Henderson is leaving, but we will not agree to any price. If it really doesn't work, I will kill Henderson in the reserve team, no problem.

Henderson is really a victim of the pond. He was originally a promising new star, but as a result, he joined the giants Liverpool because of a momentary brain fever, and dreamed of becoming a giant. Who would have thought that after coming to the team, he found that in order to get a chance to play, he had to give up his most familiar center and go to play a right winger that he had never played before.

As a result, in this position that he was completely unfamiliar with, he played poorly and became the target of media criticism, and the fans were also very dissatisfied with his performance. Under heavy pressure, his performance became even worse. So it turned into a vicious circle.

Now that he has completely lost confidence, he can't find that familiar feeling even in the center.

But he is still looking forward to it, looking forward to a fresh start after changing to a new coach. Let his poor performance last season go with the wind. Anyway, the new coach should not know enough about his performance last season. As long as he can show a good state and energy in the pre-season preparation, he should be able to impress the new coach and regain a position in the team. This time, it is best to be in the center, in a place he is familiar with, which will help him perform.

Yes, he hopes to make a comeback and does not intend to leave. After getting used to the life of a giant, how many people can easily let go? Although being in a giant means great pressure and fierce competition, it also means unlimited scenery and enviable status.

Giants' players are easier to become famous and have a higher status than players in ordinary teams.

Henderson doesn't want to leave.

But this time, he can't help it.

He received a call from his agent while he was on vacation.

"Hey, Joe. Have you heard? The club is planning to sell you?"

Henderson was stunned on the spot, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Hello, hello? Joe? Joe, say something!"

Henderson finally reacted: "Is it a rumor?"

"The media says Liverpool is planning to clean you up..."

"What is the club's official statement, what about club manager Nyon? What did he say?"

"He said you are the hope of the club... but!" The agent snorted. "This kind of talk can only deceive ghosts! He's just trying to raise the price..." Henderson's agent is much more sober than Henderson himself, because he actually hopes Henderson will transfer. And in a sense, he and the Liverpool club are on the same front, that is, they also hope that Henderson's price can be higher, so that he, the agent, can also extract more commission.

Henderson was able to come to Liverpool, in fact, he also contributed to it, and he tried his best to encourage it. Now that Henderson has come to Liverpool, how can he say that he is also a giant team, so the price can not be compared with the past, naturally there must be an increase, otherwise what is he doing here in the giants?

Isn't it just to gild himself and increase his value?

In this way, going to the next home can not only transfer at a high price, but also win more weekly salary and bonuses for Henderson, so his own increase will be more.

The agent wants him to go, but Henderson himself doesn't want to leave.

"What about coach O'Neill? Did he say anything?"

"He didn't say anything..."

"Then it doesn't matter, the coach still has the final say." Henderson said.

"Don't be silly, Joe. Have you forgotten last season so quickly? Who drove away Dalglish? That's a person with a high reputation in the club, who? It's Liverpool's general manager Nyon. Martin O'Neill is just an outsider, he has just taken over the team, how dare he fight against Nyon before he has cultivated his own forces? Isn't this matter decided by Nyon? I advise you to seriously consider the offers from other clubs, if there are any..."

After hanging up the phone, Henderson was no longer in the mood for vacation. He thought for a long time, is he really going to leave Liverpool like this?

He transferred so gloriously last season, when Dalglish held his hand and introduced him to the local media in Liverpool, under the flashing lights, he was full of hope and wonderful expectations for his future. He firmly believed that he could become Gerrard's successor, as Dalglish said.

"Gerrard's successor"! For a Liverpool player, what a great title this is. Being able to replace Gerrard is the dream of countless midfielders.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, he is facing the fate of leaving. This makes him a little unwilling.

Is it really going to be like this?

I don't want to go!

Why should I go, I am a player who wants to be Gerrard's successor!

I am the future of Liverpool, this is what Dalglish, the legend of Liverpool, said, why doesn't the legend's words work?
