Chapter 220 Quotations(1/2)
"You are worrying too much, my dear Mr. Chairman."
"Koke, Salvio, Raul Garcia, and De Bruyne are all young players. They will gradually improve and become the backbone of the future team."
"As for Paul Assuncao, if you can sell it for a good price, I have no problem with it."
"But the team really needs a veteran in the midfield."
"Salvio is not very successful on the right and I will let him try to go deeper this season."
Simeone talked a lot and finally said frankly:
"Three of you, we have to face a third-line battle this season, and the team personnel have also changed a lot. If you are not careful, you will fall behind."
"The prize money from the Champions League is the foundation for the team's survival."
"Mr. Chairman, you don't want to lose this fund either, do you?"
The three of them were about to be convinced by Simeone.
Cerezo's phone rang, and he walked to the window and pressed the answer button.
After a while, Cerezo came back with a strange expression.
"Manchester City offered £45 million to package Aguero and Lindy."
Equivalent to 50 million euros to buy Lindiga Aguero, this price does not seem high.
But in the summer of 2010, all clubs were struggling to get by.
50 million euros is really not low.
The top bidder in the Premier League this year is Balotelli with a salary of 30 million euros, so the comparison is clear.
Before anyone else could speak, Simeone was the first to jump out.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"If they are willing to activate liquidated damages, they can consider it!"
Cerezo also knew it was impossible, but just as he was about to speak, the phone rang again.
Simone had an ominous premonition in his heart.
After photos of Lindy training in Milan were exposed, the club received offers one after another.
After all, he is a midfielder who focuses on defense and can occasionally score and assist.
Every head coach will love it.
But Lindy's biggest advantage lies in the 21-year-old and his performance in the Champions League.
It's not about offensive and defensive performance.
It’s about physical performance!
A main defensive midfielder who will not be injured and has plenty of physical strength.
It is the dream of every head coach of a team that needs to fight on the third line.
When Cerezo came back again, his expression had changed from weird to ugly.
After Inter Milan sent away Quaresma for 7 million, Balotelli for 30 million, and Burdisso for 8 million.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
By leasing a large number of players and selling part of the players' shared ownership rights, a large amount of salary space has been saved.
With a transfer surplus of 45 million, they officially made an offer of 40 million euros to Atletico Madrid for Lindy.
"40 million euros, Inter Milan."
This made Simone, who was already worried, break into a cold sweat.
This price is already the same as Villa, the top bidder in La Liga's transfer market this year.
Although I don't know if there is a higher one.
But Lindy has indeed become one of the most expensive players in the current transfer market.
Before Simone could say anything.
His own cell phone also rang.
Who can deliver messages the fastest in this world?
broker!
After learning that both Manchester City and Inter Milan had made offers, Ferguson couldn't sit still.
He found Simeone through an intermediary.
He plans to wait for Simeone's nod and then approach the club's senior management to gradually publicize the matter.
"Manchester United is seeking 50 million euros to buy Lindy, and is also making inquiries about De Gea."
As soon as Simone opened his mouth, several people became completely uneasy.
In fact, the cell phones of the club's general manager and sports director have never stopped.
One after another, people came to communicate in a roundabout way.
Who else?
In addition to the players' own agents, there are also pimps, oh no, dedicated lobbyists.
They do not make money from players, but through their own connections and influence.
Get generous commissions during player transfers!
When Cerezo saw that the situation was not right, he spoke directly:
"Turn off your phone, we need to discuss this."
This meeting is also the most important meeting that determines Atletico Madrid's 2010 summer window.
...
The outside world has already spread the word, and Zanetti naturally knows about this matter.
But looking at the humble and studious junior in front of him, he couldn't bear to persuade him.
After all, even Benitez has been here before, and his intention is extremely obvious.
If he opens his mouth again at this time, the relationship between the two of them will fade away.
After all, Kroos is indeed an extremely cost-effective deal in the eyes of Benitez.
Even Mr. Moratti is very grateful to Lindy.
The most important thing is that Zanetti is not optimistic about the new head coach.
But just because he didn't say it, it didn't mean that Hull wouldn't say it.
When Zanetti and Lindy came off the field to take a break, sweating profusely, Hull immediately licked his face and offered water.
"Boss, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Manchester City have all made offers."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zanetti.
The latter just looked up and drank water, pretending not to notice.
But Lindy smiled lightly, looking very indifferent, and even joked:
“How much am I worth now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lindy immediately reached out to stop Hull who was about to answer the question, took a sip of water, and continued:
"Let me guess, Inter Milan will not exceed 30 million, Manchester United may be about the same, Manchester City is so rich, they should at least quote 30-40 million, right?"
Zanetti smiled awkwardly and pretended not to hear.
He knew it, and the chairman also told him to do Lindy's job as much as possible.
They have lost Mourinho, and AC Milan and Juventus have a tendency to make a comeback.
At 36 years old, he won't be able to play for long.
"Boss, you are completely wrong about this!"
Hull chuckled: "Ferguson admires you very much and plans to spend 50 million euros to take you to Old Trafford."
"Manchester City plans to pay you and Aguero 50 million, I wonder what their boss is thinking!"
"In addition, Inter Milan quoted 40 million euros. I don't know if there are security guards outside the door to lock it."
After saying that, he still nuzzled towards Zanetti.
"Ah hahaha, I heard they took away Balotelli for 30 million euros? And they also offered 28 million euros to buy David Silva?"
Lindy smiled happily and didn't seem to have any worries about the quotation.
Zanetti looked at Lindy who suddenly changed the topic and asked in confusion:
"Why are you laughing? Or do you already have a plan?"
The young man in front of me has a strange calmness, more like a 30-year-old veteran.
