Laporta's victory has greatly accelerated Barcelona's transfer steps. Many transfers for Rosell have already been finalized, and now they just need to be implemented.
Laporta became the chairman of Barcelona on June 15. On June 16, Barcelona completed Laporta's first transfer after becoming chairman. Barcelona and Villarreal announced that Villarreal
Belletti's right back Belletti joined Barcelona for 5.3 million euros. Of course, this still needs to wait until the transfer market opens. Villarreal did not feel that it was a loss, because Belletti just a year ago
When he transferred to Villarreal, the transfer fee was less than two million euros, and a year later it was more than five million euros.
Afterwards, there were frequent transfer news from Barcelona. On June 18, Barcelona completed its second transfer. Barcelona announced the introduction of a left back, announcing the introduction of Dortmund’s main left back and the Czech national team’s main left back Jankulov.
Ski. If Belletti, the first player introduced, is just a junior player who has just made his mark in European football, then Jankulovski is different.
Not to mention the World Cup title he won with the national team, Jankulovski performed very well even in the club. When Jankulovski was playing in Valencia, he played with Vicente and Ronaldo.
The golden corridor on the left composed of Nardinho once caused headaches for all La Liga teams. At that time, he was the number one left back in La Liga. Even after arriving in the Bundesliga, Jankulovski was still Dortmund's main left back.
, pushing Dede into the midfield and frontcourt, and is one of the best left backs in the Bundesliga.
There is currently a shortage of good left-backs in world football. Among the older generation of left-backs, Carlos, Maldini, and Ziege are all outstanding. Among the new left-backs, namely Ashley Cole and Young
Players like Kurofsky and Riise make sense.
Therefore, the introduction of Jankulovski is still a big-name player. In order to introduce Jankulovski, Barcelona paid a price of 14 million euros. Moreover, Jankulovski's annual salary is also higher than that of Belletti.
They are higher, with a salary of 2.3 million euros. In fact, Jankulovsky's salary should be higher than this, but Laporta began to change the player salary system after taking office. Russell is ready to lower the player's salary
Fix the annual salary and then increase bonuses to stimulate players. Therefore, don’t look at Jankulovsky’s annual salary of only 2.3 million euros. If Barcelona can win the La Liga championship, then Jankulovsky’s annual salary can exceed
Four million euros. Therefore, Riester is very satisfied with the transfer of Jankulovski.
While Barcelona is signing players, it is constantly purging players. De Boer's contract expired in 2003. Barcelona did not renew his contract. In fact, De Boer has been waiting. I hope Barcelona will give him a share of his contribution.
New contract. But after Laporta took office, purging Dutch players has become a general trend. Therefore, after Laporta became the club president, none of these older players whose contracts have expired will be retained.
De Boer left. Mendieta, who was on loan from Lazio, was sent back directly. Barcelona didn't pay attention to Mendieta, who was on loan from Cruzeiro. Barcelona didn't stay either. Then like Rosenbach, well
Kedu was loaned out and Giovanni was sold to Benfica.
Russell's actions were very big. The magnitude of the purge surprised many people. This is the real emperor and minister. He purged nearly ten players in less than half a month after taking office.
On June 24, Barcelona once again went through a purge. This time it was Riquelme, the new Maradona that all Barcelona people expected, who would be loaned out after just one season. Villarreal was not only
He loaned Riquelme and also acquired Reina. Reina was only loaned to Villarreal last season and was sold directly to Villarreal this summer.
While cleaning up, Barcelona continued to sign players. This time, the target of signing was Monaco's Marquez. Marquez's worth is not high, that is, 5 million euros. But it is not over yet.
Barcelona continues to negotiate with Monaco. Russell is interested in Monaco's Giuly. Giuly is different from Marquez. Giuly is the core of Monaco and the core of the frontcourt. Therefore, Monaco has some hesitation, but hesitation is of no use. At this time,
Monaco is not the upstart Monaco it was ten years later. At this time, Monaco was extremely poor.
Even for a period of time, Monaco had to enter the lower leagues due to economic reasons. The prince of the Principality of Monaco lobbied everywhere to keep Monaco in the Ligue 1. People are poor and have short ambitions, and clubs like Monaco are the same. So when Barcelona throws out 800
When it came to 10,000 euros, Monaco couldn't withstand it. In the end, they sold Giuly.
Without Giuly, Lister doubts whether Monaco can be a dark horse. After all, Monaco has made the greatest contribution to reaching the Champions League final in history. But whether Monaco can be a dark horse, Lister has no time to care.
Soon Barcelona announced the most important signing of the summer. Barcelona spent 31.8 million euros to introduce Valencia's Ronaldinho.
With the introduction of Ronaldinho Orist, I feel confident. Because the iconic stars of Dream II have come to Barcelona, plus the introduction of Belletti, Jankulovski, and Giuly, these players will all be Dream II.
The absolute main player. The rebuilding of Meng Er, Meng Er's strength is unstoppable. What Rist wants is to get his own benefits in this process.

"Anderson, no."
Everyone in a small office looked solemn. A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a cool temperament said categorically. This man is the young coach who just led Porto to win the UEFA Cup, Jose, who is only 40 years old.
.Mourinho.
Forty-year-old Jose Mourinho is considered one of the most talented young coaches emerging in European football. He led Porto to win the UEFA Cup last season. I dare not say that it shocked the European football world, but he also became another player in the European football world.
A talented coach. In fact, many European football teams are interested in him this summer. After all, he was able to lead Porto to win the UEFA Cup at the age of 40. It is difficult to find someone as young as Mourinho in the history of the UEFA Cup.
champion coach.
There are three people in this room. In addition to Jose Mourinho and his agent, there is also the new agent Jorge Mendes who is currently rising in Portugal. In addition to the two of them, there is an old man.
An old man in his sixties. This old man is Pinto da Costa, the chairman of Porto Club, who is very powerful in Portuguese football and has single-handedly built Porto into a Portuguese Super League giant that can compete with Benfica.
In the history of Portuguese football, Benfica is the undoubted giant, surpassing Porto in every aspect. But since Pinto da Costa became the chairman of Porto, Porto has been catching up and can rival Benfica. Reese
I know that in the next ten years, Porto will firmly suppress Benfica and become the club with the best performance in Portuguese football. Pinto da Costa is a very powerful old man. After serving as the chairman of Porto for more than 20 years, he has found many coaches and players.
They are all top players. He is a very famous player in Portuguese football.
Of course, in a few years, European football will give him a new nickname, that of Vampire. Under his management, Porto will surpass Lyon and become the most famous black spot.
"José, haven't you seen Barcelona's offer? That's fifteen million euros."
Pinto da Costa spoke very quickly, not like an old man in his sixties at all. The reason why they are gathered here today is because of an offer from Barcelona. Barcelona wants to introduce Deco because Deco is in
He performed well in the UEFA Cup this season. Russell followed Riester's recommendation and prepared to introduce Deco.
Riester recommended Deco. He still had a little selfishness in his heart. Porto has become the Champions League champion in history. In addition to Mourinho, a strong coach, Porto's core player Deco has made a very great contribution. Riester hopes to make an early move.
, buying Deco can ruin Mourinho's results.
However, Mourinho holds the current UEFA Cup championship. Even if he does not win the Champions League, he will not be short of potential buyers. And with Mourinho's practical style of play, it is easy to achieve results. Mourinho's success is not only
Fortunately, not only did he spend a lot of money, but he also had enough strength. The most that List could do was delay his fame and suppress his performance.
But this matter ran into trouble when it came to Mourinho. Mourinho was firmly opposed to selling Deco, so today's meeting was held. Among the three people, Mourinho is Deco's coach, and Mendes
He is Deco's agent, Pinto da Costa is Deco's boss.
"Pinto, Barcelona's offer is good. But we will play in the Champions League next season. As long as Anderson performs well in the Champions League, the transfer fee will only be high, not low. The performance in a knockout game in the Champions League is far better than in the league.
The cup's performance in one season is more convincing and attracts more attention."
"Jorge, what do you think?"
Pinto da Costa turned around and asked Mendes, who had been silent. Mendes has been a little excited recently because he is currently negotiating with giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Although Mendes has dominated Portuguese football in the past two years, he is really a nouveau riche. Although he is very capable, he accepted the legacy that Figel left in Portugal. But he used to just give Fige a
He ran errands and didn't handle many transfers independently. He didn't deal with the giants in European football independently. After he dominated Portuguese football in the past two years, the reason why he couldn't expand his business was because of player reasons.
In addition, another reason is that he does not have enough connections.
But with Queiroz taking over Real Madrid, Mendes has also been on the rise. First, Barcelona and Manchester United were paying attention to Quaresma, and Rosell personally went to Portugal to negotiate with Mendes. In the end, Rosell and Mendes
An agreement has been reached, and Quaresma will transfer to Barcelona for 6 million euros. Not to mention, Real Madrid has also been in contact with Mendes to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo, who Queiroz is optimistic about.
.Mendes heard that even Real Madrid’s real agent Carvajal also spoke highly of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ever since he replaced Figel and became the giant of Portuguese football, Mendes has always dreamed of stepping out of Portuguese football. He never expected that he would be able to do business with European giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona at the same time in one summer. This was the first time.
Mendes is a little presumptuous about doing business alone with wealthy clubs. Mendes even thought about using Queiroz to join the current Real Madrid. And using Quaresma, he could maintain a cooperative relationship with Barcelona. As long as he can maintain a cooperative relationship with Real Madrid
, Barcelona maintains a good relationship, and they are afraid that there will be no business in the future. Now Barcelona wants to introduce Deco, which makes him even more proud.
According to Mendes's idea, of course he is willing to let Deco go to Barcelona. But Mendes knows Mourinho's character very well. This is a head coach with a very fiery personality and a coach who has his own opinions. Although Mendes
He has a very good personal relationship with Mourinho, but Mendes knows that Mourinho will not agree to Mendes deciding everything about him. In terms of age, Mendes is only 37 years old now, and is older than Mourinho.
Rinho is still three years younger. When Mendes gets along with Mourinho, he will never impose his own ideas. Every time Mendes disagrees with Mourinho, he will try to persuade Mourinho and never
Help Mourinho make his decision.
From Riester's operation of Benitez, Mendes also saw huge business opportunities. Mendes can clearly see the benefits brought by a head coach. Therefore, Mendes pays great attention to himself and Mourinho.
Rinho's relationship. Now that Mourinho is so opposed to it, Mendes has to consider Mourinho's opinion.
"Jose, does Anderson have to be there?"
Mendes did not directly answer Pinto da Costa's question, but asked Mourinho.
"Yes. If Porto wants to perform in the Champions League in the new season, Anderson is indispensable. Anderson is the core midfielder of my team."
Mendes resisted the temptation and looked at Pinto da Costa. Da Costa nodded, and then said domineeringly: "Jose, since you said so, then go back to Barcelona. We don't lack that in Porto."
Count the money, I trust Jose."
Mourinho's achievements gave Pinto da Costa a lot of confidence. He admired Mourinho very much and believed in Mourinho's judgment.
"Thank you, Pinto."
"No need. I still hope that our Porto can perform well in the Champions League in the new season."
Looking at Da Costa, Mendes couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Da Costa is indeed courageous and can refuse an offer of 15 million. No wonder Porto has been able to overwhelm Benfica in recent years. I have to admire Da Costa.
.If it were Benfica, and they heard someone offered 15 million euros for their players, they would have already sent their players to them.
Of course, Mendes sighed a little in his heart. What a great opportunity it is for Deco to move to Barcelona. If there are Deco and Quaresma, then Mendes' status in Barcelona will be greatly improved. Maybe he can still influence it in the future.
Barcelona transfer. However, Mendes is a free and easy person. Since this summer is not possible, then he must think about how to maintain a good relationship with Barcelona. (To be continued...)
