Siena is quite happy that Sporting Gijon has intervened in Chiesa's transfer battle. After all, with one more buyer, it is easier to raise the price.
Therefore, they simply expressed their welcome to Sporting Gijon and put forward the conditions for letting Chiesa leave: a transfer fee of one million euros.
This is obviously a rip-off. A 34-year-old veteran who originally joined as a free agent is now asking for one million euros. Isn't this a rip-off?
Li Ang has on hand the 3 million euros he 'saved' during the summer transfer. If necessary, he can also apply for a winter signing fund. Therefore, this winter transfer, Li Ang and Sporting Gijon's transfer funds
It's still quite ample.
However, having funds on hand does not mean that Li Ang is willing to be taken advantage of.
***********
Naturally, Li Ang would not agree to Siena's request of one million euros. However, he still raised the offer. Sporting Gijon made a second offer. Li Ang raised Chiesa's worth by 150,000, and Sporting Gijon made a sixth offer.
Purchase Chiesa for 150,000 euros.
In this era, the era of player premiums has not yet arrived, and transactions of several million euros are somewhat sensational. What's more, this is still the winter transfer market. For a 34-year-old veteran, 650,000 euros
The price is not too low.
The price of Sporting Gijon is beyond the psychological endurance of other suitors. Even Udinese, who was destined to win, hesitated. Udinese has a tendency to spend small money, and they have few in the transfer market.
They will 'spend money'. Five hundred thousand euros to buy a 30-year-old veteran is already the limit for Udinese.
Udinese was very angry that Sporting Gijon once again intervened when they were looking for players. In the summer, Sporting Gijon snatched Di Natale from their hands.
, look at Di Natale now playing well in La Liga, Udinese is so hateful. Now, Sporting Gijon actually comes to steal their Chiesa, Udinese is a new enemy
Old grudges come to mind...
However, they are still helpless... because it is impossible for them to spend more money to compete with Sporting Gijon for Chiesa. Spending money has never been Udinese's style, even though it is only 150,000 euros... they don't
He will change his principles and traditions in the transfer market because of a 34-year-old veteran like Chiesa.
***********
Udinese was angry and helpless, but they were unwilling to quit. They could only hope that Chiesa himself would be more inclined to join Siena rather than choose to go to Spain. However, no matter what the result, they
Now I really hate Li Ang and Sporting Gijon.
Udinese's inability to raise the price basically means that among the clubs seeking to buy Chiesa, the one closest to him is Sporting Gijon.
This also forced the Siena club, which planned to rip off the player, to seriously consider Sporting Gijon's offer of 650,000 euros after weighing it repeatedly.
Now, there are no big problems at the club level.
Then, the rest depends on the player's personal wishes.
Although Sporting Gijon is only a newly promoted polo team, Sporting Gijon can participate in European competitions. In addition, Sporting Gijon is now the fourth-ranked team in La Liga. Now Sporting Gijon hopes to introduce itself, the thirty-four-year-old
The Italian veteran Chiesa will naturally not refuse. Between Udinese and Sporting Gijon, there is almost no hesitation in choosing which one.
What's more, there is another situation. Sporting Gijon is now quite well-known in Italian football. Italians all know that there is a dark horse called Sporting Gijon in La Liga this season, which can attract the attention of Italians. Mainly
Or because Sporting Gijon has three Italian players including Albertini, Di Natale and Grosso. Needless to say, Albertini, Di Natale's outstanding performance in Sporting Gijon has attracted the attention of the Italian football team.
It has attracted a certain amount of attention from the media. Grosso also performed relatively well, which to a certain extent made Chiesa more fond of Sporting Gijon. Among other things, he has three compatriots in this team.
At least you're not alone.
Therefore, after Chiesa learned that Sporting Gijon had raised its offer for the second time, he immediately informed his agent to terminate personal contract negotiations with Udinese and wait for Siena's reply from Sporting Gijon - he
At the same time, he also expressed his attitude in this way. He wanted to go to Sporting Gijon.
At the same time, Chiesa also feels that with his attitude, Siena will be inclined to agree to this deal.
***********
In fact, this is the case. Faced with such an offer, and taking into account the player's own attitude, Siena knew that they could not keep Chiesa, and they had no reason to refuse.
Siena replied to Sporting Gijon that they agreed to let Sporting Gijon and Chiesa negotiate on personal treatment. Things have progressed to this point very smoothly, and it can basically be said to be a matter of course.
Negotiations with Chiesa on personal remuneration went relatively smoothly. The Italian veteran's salary was not high when he was in Siena. Now that he has gone to Sporting Gijon, which is stronger, he naturally has no reason to ask for a high salary. For a thirty-year-old
For a four-year-old veteran, being able to still have a chance to play in the European competition is enough to satisfy him.
Therefore, on Christmas Eve, Sporting Gijon had already reached a consensus with the player on the personal contract issue of Chiesa's transfer.
Now we are waiting for the Christmas holiday to end and Chiesa to complete the physical examination. If everything is normal, the transfer transaction can be officially completed.
Chiesa's transfer will not be announced until after Christmas, if the medical examination goes well. However, on Christmas Eve, good news was announced on the official website of Sporting Gijon.
Sporting Gijon fans were delighted to see the club's Christmas Eve gift to them. The team announced that they had signed a contract with young French forward Karim Benzema, who just celebrated his seventeenth birthday a few days ago.
A four-year professional contract.
Because he had not yet reached the age of 17, Sporting Gijon and Benzema only signed a youth contract, which also made some other clubs covet him.
Therefore, before Benzema's seventeenth birthday, Li Ang arranged for the club to start negotiations with Benzema on a professional contract.
***********
Although other teams came to poach him and offered some attractive terms, Benzema's family, especially Benzema's father, who was Benzema's agent, had no idea that he personally went to France to invite Benzema to join him.
Li Ang is very grateful. Of course, the most important thing is that Benzema’s family members are not short-sighted people. They are very satisfied and looking forward to allowing Benzema to continue to play under Li Ang. Now, Li Ang’s reputation for being good at cultivating young people has been
Very big.
Because of this, despite other clubs poaching and causing trouble, the signing of professional contracts between Sporting Gijon and Benzema was relatively smooth.
