Di Natale himself agreed to transfer to Sporting Gijon. In Liang's view, this basically means that there are no obstacles to this transaction.
Li Ang felt excited when he thought that such an outstanding late-blooming attacker would start his legendary journey from his own hands.
As he expected, the relegated Empoli club did not reject Sporting Gijon's purchase of Di Natale. After learning that the player himself had agreed to transfer to Sporting Gijon, Empoli also did not change the transfer.
What kind of obstacles are there due to the membership fee? This is also a thank you to the player who came out of the Empoli youth academy and played for the team for five years.
Sporting Gijon paid a transfer fee of 300,000 euros for Di Natale, which was relatively generous compared to the meager 100,000 euros paid by Udinese in history.
In fact, at this time, Udinese's quotation of 100,000 euros was already in the office of the Empoli club president. Empoli had nothing to do about Udinese's quotation of 100,000 euros, because if
Di Natale is determined to go to Udinese, and they can't stop them. Moreover, Udinese's Pozzo family also has great influence in Italy. The player is determined to leave, and Empoli can only accept one.
Dumb loss.
Under such circumstances, Sporting Gijon's offer of 300,000 euros seems much more sincere. And the most important thing is that Di Natale himself agreed to go to Gijon. This is the player's personal decision and Empoli is completely
You don't have to worry about getting into trouble with Udinese.
Leon has long heard of the Italians' bureaucratic and lazy work style, but this time, Di Natale's transfer went very smoothly.
On the next day, Li Ang met with the general manager of Empoli on behalf of Sporting Gijon. The two clubs and the player met in a three-way meeting. The two clubs signed a player transfer agreement, and Di Natale signed a personal contract with Sporting Gijon.
, even the physical examination was carried out at a local hospital with the help of Empoli, and the results of the physical examination were all OK, which means that Di Natale is now a member of Sporting Gijon.
Grosso still has to go to Gijon for a medical examination, so the signing of the left back transfer has not yet been finalized. Now, Di Natale, who only started negotiations later, completed the transfer in less than 24 hours!
This is definitely an amazing efficiency.
Leon is cutting the knot with a quick knife, fearing that the night will be long and full of dreams, so he will simply do it cheaply. He is too satisfied with Di Natale. If Grosso may be just a transitional left back in his mind, then Di Natale is Leon
He is a player that he values very much. Although Di Natale is now 27 years old, if this player maintains his good physical fitness and condition, he can maintain his condition for at least five to eight years.
With such a big treasure, Leon would not be at ease if he did not secure it. You must know that this is a local snake in Udinese in Italy. He has to win Di Natale before Udinese can react.
.Once the news leaks out and Udinese reacts, this transfer is not without the possibility of changes.
Di Natale officially won, and Leon was quite happy. He told the Italians to report to Spain in nine days, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Di Natale.
Before leaving Italy, Leon had another phone call with Grosso, expressed concern about the Italian left-back, and told Grosso that he had arranged for club staff to go to Madrid to greet Grosso and his agent Fisichella.
You only need to take a flight to Madrid Airport, and the club will arrange the rest, so don't worry. This call made Grosso, who was leaving for Spain the next day, a little touched. After all, he left his hometown to make a living, and learned that he was cared for.
My mind will feel more peaceful.
"Fabio, let me tell you good news." Li Ang said to Grosso, "You will have an Italian teammate in the team."
This news shocked Grosso. He had never heard of any Italian player joining Sporting Gijon. Could it be that he was an unknown player from a low-level league?
"Antonio Di Natale." Leon said with a smile, "I told him that you would also go to Gijon, and he was very happy."
Grosso heard that Di Natale had also gone to Gijon. He was a player he knew. Although he was not particularly familiar with it, he could still be considered acquaintance. This made the left-back very happy. He felt like a fellow countryman.
Spain no longer feels far away.
"This is really good news." Grosso said happily.
Li Ang and Grosso ended the call. The head coach generally doesn't like small groups within the team, but this cannot be prevented. Li Ang has his own understanding of this, and everyone has the tendency to stick together.
, Grosso and Di Natale are fellow villagers, and it is understandable that they have a good relationship. Moreover, he is not worried that the two Italians will cause any trouble in the locker room. In addition, Di Natale is a very law-abiding person.
Grosso also expressed his surly temper. Both players have pretty good temperaments and he doesn't have anything to worry about.
Leon left Italy, waved his sleeves, and took away the two Italians.
Udinese, Udinese coach Spalletti, who was on vacation at home, heard a brief message from the TV news: Antonio Di Natale, the 27-year-old attacker of the relegated Empoli, chose
Going overseas, he joined the newly promoted Spanish Football League Sporting Gijon. It is reported that the player signed a five-year contract with Sporting Gijon. Di Natale has also become one of the few Italian players to play in Spain in recent years...
Spalletti, who was enjoying coffee comfortably, was stunned. Di Natale went to Spain? What happened?! What happened?!
No wonder Spalletti is so surprised, he is the current head coach of Udinese, and Di Natale is the player named by Spalletti.
The boss of Udinese, Pozzo, will naturally meet this request of the head coach, not to mention that poaching people from a team that has been relegated from Serie A is simply an easy thing.
Old Pozzo patted his chest and assured Spalletti that there would be no problem with the Di Natale you requested.
Spalletti also felt that there would be no problems, so he enjoyed his vacation with peace of mind.
However, now, he suddenly saw the news on TV that Di Natale had transferred to a club in Spain, which made Spalletti surprised and angry.
Spalletti immediately called the club owner Pozzo, "Boss, what's going on with the player I want?"
Old Pozzo was unhappy with Spalletti's sudden call and the tone of his questioning, but he still managed to endure it and did not drop the phone, "Mr. Coach, please pay attention to your attitude."
"Boss, I'm sorry." Spalletti apologized, "I was just anxious."
"I understand, you are always so devoted to your work." After warning and praising, Lao Bozuodu played this trick very well, and then asked, "Which player are you talking about?"
"Antonio Di Natale!" Spalletti said, "Empoli's striker. I just got the news that he has transferred to a team in Spain."
"Wait a minute, let me ask." The elder Pozzo covered the phone and pressed the bell. After a while, his son, the younger Pozzo, who is now responsible for the team's specific affairs, arrived.
"What happened to Empoli's striker named Di Natale?" asked the elder Pozzo.
Pozzo thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Empoli wants more transfer fees, don't worry, Dad, they will give in soon."
"How much transfer fee did you offer? How did Empoli repay you?" Old Pozzo asked.
"I directly offered a fixed price of 100,000 euros." Pozzo said. "Empoli's reply was 500,000 euros. They really dare to think that a veteran striker from a relegated team dares to ask for so much. I
It is estimated that their final bottom line should be 200,000 euros, but I still hope to get this done for 100,000 euros."
Pozzo enjoys this kind of negotiation very much. His personal creed is to earn the maximum value at the minimum cost.
Old Bozo glanced at his son. He knew his son's nature, which was too much pursuit of perfection and profit maximization. He shook his head, "Son, you don't need to do anything about this."
"What's wrong?" asked little Pozzo.
"Empoli has announced that Di Natale has joined a Spanish club." Pozzo said.
"Really?" Pozzo was slightly unhappy. The reason for his displeasure was not because he missed Di Natale, because in fact, Pozzo was not interested in Di Natale, who was 27 years old and had yet to make a name for himself.
It's just that this is the player that the team's head coach wants by name. He is unhappy just because he didn't get the deal done, which makes it difficult for him to pursue perfection.
However, that's all.
"That's a pity." Little Pozzo shrugged, looking like he didn't care much.
The old Pozzo didn't feel that there was any loss in losing such a player. There was really no room for appreciation for a player worth more than ten or two hundred thousand euros, not to mention that the opponent was already twenty-seven years old.
Udinese is a famous player training market in Serie A. Udinese recruits young players from all over the world and then carefully trains them. With these players, the team can always perform well in Serie A, and then Udinese
Ness will sell these famous players to cash out, then continue to train them, continue to cash out, and the cycle starts again.
Therefore, in Italian football, the team that makes the most money from buying and selling players is Udinese.
Udinese is optimistic about those young players, so the Pozzo family does not feel it is a loss to miss the 27-year-old Di Natale.
Then, the elder Pozzo notified Spalletti on the other end of the phone. The latter learned that for just one to two hundred thousand euros, he had actually missed out on Di Natale and was intercepted by the Spanish club.
Spalletti was so angry that he almost jumped.
The club owner does not know the value of Di Natale, but Spalletti still favors Di Natale. He regards Di Natale as an important supplement to the team's offensive methods.
Of course, it can also be seen from here that even Spalletti does not have such a deep understanding of Di Natale's abilities. He just thinks that Di Natale can improve Udinese's offense. At this time, he has not yet
What about the idea of Di Natale as the core of the attack?
So, the current result is that the club missed out on Di Natale for 100,000 euros. Spalletti was a little angry, but after the anger, he could only accept the result. After all, he just missed a relegation goal.
He is just a player from the team that he admires. There are many such players in Italy, so he will look for them in the transfer market. The only regret is that Di Natale is indeed a cheap and affordable choice, but he just did not seize the opportunity to get it.
.
The people of Udinese didn't know what the 27-year-old veteran they missed because of the tens of thousands of euros meant to them.
Li Ang will not care about the fate of Udinese who lost Di Natale. In fact, he has always had a bad impression of this football club.
This is an extremely selfish club. Udinese has reached the top four in Serie A several times and qualified for the Champions League qualifying rounds. However, the most important thing they did in the summer at the end of the season was to start selling players and replace the players they had just played.
The players who come out are sold at a high price, sometimes even the backbone of the entire team, and then they start to promote new players... The result is that Udinese is eliminated almost every time in the Champions League qualifying rounds.
A real one-day trip to the Champions League can be said to be a complete waste of one of Italy's Champions League spots... and the victim is Italian football as a whole.
Li Ang has no guilt about poaching the future cornerstone of such a team, and he even feels that the Italians should thank him.
Leon took a flight directly to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and his target was a young man named Modric.
Modric's full name is Luka Modric. He was born on September 9, 1985 in Zadar, the fifth largest city in Croatia, on the Adriatic Sea. He has a somewhat similar experience to many young and famous geniuses.
, when Modric was 16 years old, he was spotted by the Croatian giant Dinamo Zagreb Football Club, which officially started his career.
In order to give him more training, when Modric was 18 years old, Dinamo Zagreb loaned him to Atletico Sapresic and Mostar Zlinjski of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Club, the fledgling Modric became the self-driving player of the Bosnia and Herzegovina League that season with his outstanding performance.
