On Barcelona's side, Reina himself is just a substitute.
Without Reina, there is Valdes who is not much different from him.
It doesn't affect anything at all.
This player can be rented.
As for the buyout price, setting a price that far exceeds Reina's worth can prevent Sporting Lisbon from buying out Reina in the first loan season.
Reina's current worth is one million euros. Considering Barcelona's influence, there are people who want two million euros.
Then set the buyout price to four million euros!
Only a fool would spend four million euros on a youth training goalkeeper.
As for Mota, this one cannot be rented out.
The deal between Inter Milan and Viana is almost certain. Sporting Lisbon should want to rent Motta to fill Viana's vacancy.
They like to use young players.
Once Motta goes and plays as Sporting Lisbon's main midfielder, it's okay if he can't play. But if he does, he may really not want to come back.
Because the position commitment that Sporting Lisbon can provide, Barcelona cannot.
In total, Barcelona's final answer to Sporting Lisbon was "28 million euros in cash to rent Reina."
The loan agreement stipulates that Reina's salary during the loan period shall be borne by Sporting Lisbon, and unless affected by force majeure or injury, Reina must get at least fifteen games with Sporting Lisbon, and the total number of appearances throughout the season cannot be less than twenty.
.
The intended loan period is two years, but due to regulations such as youth training player qualifications and nationality application, the signing will be one year.
It can be bought out during the lease period, and the buyout price is four million euros.
This time, Sporting Lisbon did not cause any more trouble for Barcelona and readily passed the deal.
"Barcelona fans' struggle is successful! Camp Nou welcomes the Portuguese king, Ricardo Quaresma!"
"After being betrayed by Figo, Barcelona welcomes little Figo! Fans: We believe in Quaresma's loyalty!"
"Be generous to Barcelona! The transfer fee of 28 million euros welcomes Quaresma, give the Portuguese another chance!"
"Well done to Barcelona! Can Quaresma make up for the Portuguese player credit that Figo lost?"
"A win-win deal! Sporting Lisbon has the highest sales record in team history! Barcelona welcomes the most powerful winger!"
"Black store stocking up! Sporting Lisbon supermarket is finally open?"
"Quaresma sounded the transfer horn! Will the new Triple Crown be divided up?"
"Salary reflects status! Nineteen-year-old Saraovi's salary is 2.5 million euros. Considering his age of 19, it can be said that he has risen to the top in one step!"
"But the 18-year-old Quaresma has become the highest paid player in the Barcelona team under the age of 25 with a salary of 3 million euros!"
In comparison, Reina's loan is not a problem.
But just one day later, Reina became the center of discussion in Spanish and Portuguese media.
Because after Sporting Lisbon signed Reina's loan contract, they immediately paid 4 million euros to buy out Reina permanently.
At this point, Reina officially became a player of Sporting Lisbon.
Countless people don't understand this.
"Sporting Lisbon has a special preference for Pepe? Midfielder and backfield swingman Pepe squeezed out Deschamps as the first choice at Sporting Lisbon at the age of 18. Goalkeeper Pepe was bought out by the team in advance when he could be rented out!"
"The large amount of income has caused Sporting Lisbon to lose its former calculation ability. It is really not cost-effective to buy Pepe Reina for four million euros!"
"Swedish genius Brahimovic didn't even let Sporting Lisbon spend four million, why should Reina?"
"You can obviously rent it out, why do you want to buy it out in advance? This operation is really incomprehensible!"
Among them, the front page headline of Barcelona's mouthpiece media "Daily Sports", "Sporting Lisbon finally became the victim of abuse this time" became a popular article.
The article focuses on the central idea of "Reina is not worth four million euros".
They said that Reina has the potential to become a first-class goalkeeper, but his worth will never reach 4 million euros within three years, and it will be difficult for him to reach the level of a European team goalkeeper.
Barcelona's defeat in the UEFA Cup last season was certainly due to the height of the defense, but Reina's lack of ability was also a key factor.
Especially the three headers from a short player like Deng Kai.
If it were Schmeichel, Kahn, Pagliuca, Seaman and other top goalkeepers, they would at least be able to save one or two goals.
】
I have to say that this article made Reina a little sad.
He has always believed that he has the ability to guard Barcelona's gate.
Even if it's really a little worse, it won't be the main culprit for Barcelona's loss of all four majors last season, right?
Facing doubts from the Spanish media, Triguera stood up and accepted an interview: "Reina is a very talented goalkeeper. We have been paying attention to him for some time before we played against Barcelona."
"He will get enough playing time at Sporting Lisbon. As for whether Schmeichel will be dissatisfied, I can only say that you are overthinking."
"The only condition for Schmeichel to stay at Sporting Lisbon next season is to find him a qualified substitute. Last season's third-line battle exhausted him so much that he never wants to experience that frequency of appearances again. He is no longer a second-tier player.
A young man in his teens, he will soon be forty!"
Now that Sporting Lisbon has said so, what else can Barcelona fans say?
If you have money, you are great.
However, the next day, "Marca" revealed the sarcasm of Barcelona's senior management towards Sporting Lisbon: "They are completely a group of nouveau riche. It's like they have never seen money... Even if they want to buy Reina, they can do it this season."
The final buyout.”
"The difference is that the salary for Reina will be much less."
"Now that they have bought Reina, the contract will have to be renegotiated. The salary is anyway higher than the child labor contract Reina got in our Barcelona. Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand? Isn't this money?"
"They are too impatient and don't regard this money as money! Sporting Lisbon will go bankrupt sooner or later if they operate like this!"
This conversation was echoed by many sports managers.
Some reporters even asked Deng Kai for his views on Sporting Lisbon's poor trading and salary management arrangements when he was reporting to the Portuguese national youth team training base.
Deng Kai talked about this matter from another dimension: "Is this deal stupid? No, at least I don't think so."
"In fact, Mr. Triguera spoke with me on the phone before buying out Reina, and I very much support his decision."
The reporters clicked their tongues one after another.
The implication is that Deng Kai was involved in this transaction.
Deng Kai looked slightly serious: "On the contrary, I think Barcelona's philosophy towards players is unhealthy, and at the very least it is not respectful enough. The Bosman Law 10 years ago was met with mixed reviews at the time."
"But now it seems that this law has undoubtedly promoted the prosperity of European and world football. At the same time, it has won the legitimate rights and interests of countless players, especially many superstars."
"But the law often stipulates the bottom line. Above the bottom line, there should also be morality and conscience."
"The reason why Sporting Lisbon bought out Reina one year in advance is simple. We really want to acquire this player and we hope to cooperate fairly with him."
"We give him the salary he deserves, and he makes the contribution he deserves to the team."
"Just imagine, if we deliberately squeezed Reina for one year with Barcelona's child labor contract, and then signed him to a contract he won the next year, would that be fair to Reina? Is it respectful?"
"Is such a team really worth Reina's youth and sweat?"
