He thought he would have to spend a lot of money, but in fact it went smoothly because Modric was not satisfied with Dinamo Zagreb's continued loan situation and he hoped to stabilize his situation.
, Frequent loan out is a dilemma that many young players need to face. Some players performed well during the loan period and then stayed with their home team, while many players did not develop optimistically during frequent loan out. This is not to say that this
Young players lack talent and strength, and there are also objective factors. When they join a new team, they need to adapt to the new environment, new teammates, new tactics, and even different league styles. This is very difficult for young players.
Some players are suitable for growing up slowly in a stable environment, while some players can adapt to this kind of loan environment.
Modric is not afraid of being loaned out by the club. He is just worried about when this loan career will end. He does not know his future and does not know how Dinamo Zagreb positions him. He is worried that he will end his career.
With him being rented out all the time, his worries are not impossible.
In this case, the appearance of Li Ang can be said to be a sudden dawn and huge hope for the young Modric.
Modric has never heard of the Sporting Gijon team before, but all he needs to know is that it is a La Liga team. For Modric, being able to play in La Liga now is like a dream.
, and then learned that this team actually won the Copa del Rey last season and could participate in the UEFA Cup in the new season!
"Sir, I am willing to go to Spain." Modric said, and then the shy young man scratched his head, "But I have to discuss it with my father."
Li Ang understood this. He knew Modric's respect and deep feelings for his father.
Modric's childhood was not easy. In 1992, civil war broke out in the former Yugoslavia, and Modric's family lived a life of escape. His grandfather was killed when Modric was 6 years old. He was the most important person to Modric.
Modric's father also went to the front line, and he, his mother and his sister lived together in a 12-square-meter house. It was also from that time that Modric began to play football with his friends. Later, his father
After returning from the battlefield, he sacrificed his life in exchange for the military salary he saved, and spent about 250 euros to send his son to a football training camp.
It can be said that Modric's football path is not easy. This is also a microcosm of Croatia, a former Yugoslav country, in this era.
***********
More in-depth talks took place at Modric's home.
Modric's parents expressed a warm welcome to Leon's visit, and Leon also enjoyed an authentic Croatian home-cooked meal.
Modric Sr. - Luka Modric's father, this former retired soldier from the former Yugoslavia Civil War is tough and strong.
The elder Modric was very proud of the favor that Li Ang, the head coach of the La Liga team, showed to his son, and Li Ang's move to come to Croatia in person also made this old soldier with a straightforward personality very happy.
Modric Sr. supports and respects his son's choice and agrees with Modric to go to Sporting Gijon.
However, Modric Sr. had one last question. He expressed concern about his son's future at Sporting Gijon.
Li Ang did not guarantee Modric's main position. He thought about it and told Modric and his son that Modric would get a lot of playing opportunities in Sporting Gijon, but whether he could get the main position would depend on Mo.
Derrick goes for it himself.
"Luka will stay in the first team. I am very optimistic about him and will give him time and enough playing opportunities. However, he needs to fight for the main position by himself." Li Ang said seriously.
Modric Sr. was very satisfied with Li Ang's answer. He could see that Li Ang answered seriously and sincerely. If Li Ang promised Modric the main position, his father would be worried and disbelieving.
After taking care of the player and his family, the next thing to do is to communicate with Dinamo Zagreb and make an offer.
Li Ang still has a certain degree of confidence in this. Modric is a rookie from Dinamo Zagreb and has received a certain degree of attention. However, this attention is also limited. Otherwise, they would not have decided to play this season.
Still loan Modric out. You must know that Modric is already nineteen years old. At this age, if the club pays enough attention, Modric still has a great chance to play as a substitute at Dinamo Zagreb.
.
In Li Ang's memory, Modric continued to be loaned out this season. He was loaned to the Inker Zagreb team in the Croatian League. He performed very well and won the Croatian League's best rookie of the season.
It really attracted the real attention of Dinamo Zagreb, and then in order to avoid the loss of talent, they immediately signed a 10-year long-term contract with Modric. Although they themselves also understood that Modric's future belongs to Europe.
The five major leagues, but a long-term contract can ensure that the club can get the maximum benefit when selling players in the future.
Without the flash of Inker Zagreb this season, Dinamo Zagreb has not really discovered the huge potential and value in Modric, so negotiations should not be too difficult.
***********
The negotiations with Dinamo Zagreb were not as smooth as Leon imagined.
Dinamo Zagreb expressed vigilance towards a La Liga club suddenly seeking to purchase the team's young player Luka Modric. Indeed, they saw a La Liga team seeking to purchase Modric and they wanted to kill him.
In their view, all the teams in the five major leagues should be taken advantage of. They told Li Ang that Modric was not for sale and refused to sell him.
Li Ang also realized something at this time. The other party said that Modric was not for sale, which did not mean that it was really 'not for sale', but that Sporting Gijon's purchase made Dinamo Zagreb want to make a profit. This
This is also the usual thinking of teams in other European leagues when they face requests from the five major leagues.
At this time, the attitude of Modric and his family worked. Modric took the initiative to stand up and expressed his desire to transfer to the team, and bluntly stated that he wanted to go to Sporting Gijon.
And Li Ang also said in a timely manner that Sporting Gijon would not mind waiting for Modric's contract to expire and get the young player for free. You must know that Modric only has one year left on his contract with Dinamo Zagreb at this time.
Half done.
***********
Originally, Modric was just a young rookie and was not taken seriously. Now the player himself has expressed his desire to leave. This makes Dinamo Zagreb, who originally planned to kill Sporting Gijon, helpless.
Then, Leon made an offer to Dinamo Zagreb: a fixed price of 800,000 euros!
This offer broke through Dinamo Zagreb's psychological defense, because with Modric's current performance and strength, the offer of 800,000 euros is definitely a reasonable price.
This made Dinamo Zagreb feel much better about Sporting Gijon's Chinese head coach, so they accepted the offer.
Modric and his family were also very moved when they learned that Sporting Gijon was willing to pay one million euros to get him. You know, Zagreb can be bought for a price of one million euros.
The absolute main player of Budinamo's first team.
Li Ang is cutting the mess with a quick knife. Although Sporting Gijon is currently short of funds, when it is time to take action, Li Ang is absolutely unambiguous. He will directly complete the transfer for 800,000 euros. This is more important than anything else.
Modric is Li Ang's midfield general in the team building blueprint for the next ten years or even more than ten years!
