Two days later, Vicente signed his name on the new contract.
The price offered by Atletico Madrid has already impressed Levante. A young player they trained can be sold for five million U.S. dollars at the age of nineteen. Levante is quite satisfied. Maybe in the future he His worth will be higher, but it is obvious that it is impossible for Levante, who is in the second division, to become higher...
So in fact, it is Vicente who can make the decision now. After two days of consideration, he agreed to join Atletico Madrid. Being able to play in European competitions and La Liga was the main reason for Vicente's decision. Dick last season The ability shown by the fire-fighting team and the level he showed in leading Atletico Madrid's second team against Levante in the second division also made Vicente feel that playing under this head coach should be a good choice.
After signing Vicente, it means that Solari's time at Atletico Madrid has come to an end.
Soon, Solari signed a contract with another club in Madrid. The transfer fee was US$7 million, which was US$2 million higher than his transfer value from Argentina a year ago. But now In this era of crazy player value increases, it cannot be said that Atletico Madrid has benefited from it - from this aspect, Hill's management of the club is indeed not shrewd at all.
But this has nothing to do with Dick. The entry and exit of these two people is equivalent to Atletico Madrid's transfer fee changing from 45 million to 47 million. He still has a certain amount of leverage to spend money on the forward. …
"I'm bringing in Tristan."
After returning to Madrid, Dick held a meeting with the staff of the transfer department and said bluntly at the meeting: "In addition to Tristan, I also need three defenders who can serve as substitutes - left backs. Right back, center back, tally up the possible candidates and tell me, then I will decide who to bring in."
After receiving Dick's instructions, the staff of the transfer department began to be busy - Dick was interested in Tristan. No one was surprised. Tristan is now regarded as the hottest new striker emerging in Spain. , many teams are interested in him, but Real Madrid is currently busy with the presidential election. If Atletico Madrid takes action at this time, it can still compete with Deportivo La Coruna.
Soon, various news began to spread.
First, the local newspaper in Madrid disclosed the news that Atletico Madrid wanted to introduce Tristan for 15 million US dollars. Then Mallorca began to refute the rumors, saying that Tristan was not for sale. Then Depor Runia said he would ask for $18 million, and news came out from Real Madrid that old chairman Sanz announced that if he could be elected, he would bring Tristan to Real Madrid fans...
Seeing that he had become a piece of cake, Tristan quickly made a decision - to stay put, at least wait until the European Cup is over and Real Madrid's presidential election is settled before deciding where to go - anyway, he He definitely wants to transfer out of Mallorca, and Real Madrid should of course be his first choice. After all, as the best club in Spain, Real Madrid is where almost all players want to go.
Tristan is confident that even if he cannot shake Raul's dominance, he can at least steal Morientes' main forward position. If there is a chance to go to Real Madrid, why go to Deportivo La Coruña and Atletico Madrid?
If Sanz is elected as the chairman of Real Madrid, Tristan feels that there is no problem at all in going to Real Madrid. After all, for the election of Real Madrid chairman, if someone is elected after promising to bring someone, but no one is brought.
, that is quite passive.
So Tristan's agent quickly told Deportivo La Coruna and Atletico Madrid, who had already made offers: "Diego is still on vacation and he does not want to consider the transfer issue at this time."
"Then withdraw the offer." After hearing the feedback from the staff, Dick was silent for a while and said: "Even if he can't go to Real Madrid, he will choose to go to Deportivo... We can't compete with La Coruna now...
Coruña, but in a year or two we will make him regret it."
After hearing Tristan's feedback, Dick knew that Tristan would only choose the team that looked better now - anyway, he was already a late bloomer, and now at the age of twenty-four, he needed
What I want is to join some strong teams as soon as possible to gain some honors, rather than go to a so-called team with potential and wait for the team to become stronger.
Even if Sanz is not elected as the chairman of Real Madrid and Real Madrid will not introduce him, he will be more willing to go to Deportivo, which can play in the Champions League, rather than go to Atletico Madrid, which can only play in the UEFA Cup. This is why Dick needs to be there as soon as possible.
The reason for finalizing the joining of some players is because compared with the top four Spanish teams, the current Atletico Madrid is indeed not very competitive.
The transfers of Camoranesi and Makelele also suffered setbacks to varying degrees.
The staff sent to Central and North America got in touch with the Blue Cross Club, and the other club agreed readily. Want Camoranesi? No problem, as long as there is enough money... But now Vero in Serie A
The Nacional Club has also sent people here. We have no objection to who to sell to, as long as whoever pays more will do.
Camoranesi himself has no problem landing in Serie A or La Liga. There are particularly many Argentines in these two leagues. Spain is because Argentines basically speak Spanish, so La Liga has become a paradise for Argentine players.
The same is true in Italy. There are many Argentines with Italian ancestry - for example, Camoranesi is a player with dual Italian and Argentine nationalities.
In comparison, Camoranesi prefers Italy, but Atletico Madrid attracts him more than Verona. Verona is only a relegation team in Serie A, while Atletico Madrid is one of the strong teams in La Liga and can also play in the UEFA Cup.
game...
In terms of the players' personal wishes, Atletico Madrid has the upper hand, and in terms of impressing the Blue Cross Club, Atletico Madrid also has an advantage...
Because Dick knew the other club's psychological base price, they were willing to let him go if he had only seven million, so he instructed Atletico Madrid's staff to make a first-round offer of six million dollars - while Verona's offer was five million.
million.
The Blue Cross club rejected Verona's offer, but said it could talk to Atletico Madrid.
After two days of consideration, Verona raised the offer to seven million, which reached the Blue Cross club's psychological bottom line. However, Dick immediately instructed Atletico Madrid's staff to raise the offer to eight million, saying at the same time
This will be the final bid.
Verona doesn't want to raise much more. After all, Camoranesi is not famous now, and he doesn't deserve too many offers to play in Mexico. Seven million dollars can buy a fairly famous player in South America.
A capable player...
After careful consideration, the Blue Cross Club agreed to Atletico Madrid's offer of eight million US dollars and told Verona that if it added another one million, they would agree to Camoranesi joining Verona.
.
Verona announced its withdrawal from the pursuit of Camoranesi two days later, and Atletico Madrid gained the right to negotiate personal treatment with Camoranesi.
With an annual salary of one million US dollars and a four-year contract, Camoranesi is quite satisfied with this contract. In fact, this contract is a bit high considering Camoranesi's current reputation, but Dick
But it is clear that this contract is worth signing.
After winning Camoranesi for 8 million, Atletico Madrid's two wingers can finally put people at ease. Last season, Atletico Madrid's only serious wing attacker was actually Solari.
Grammar later used Juninho as the right midfielder. Although it was a clever move, it was also a helpless move.
The young players who have joined now are both players. Vicente is fast, skilled and has strong breakthrough ability. Camoranesi is slower than Vicente in terms of speed, but he is more balanced and fierce. Such two
The two players complement each other, and the effect is better than sending two pure wingers alone.
In fact, this is also the most popular midfield combination now. Both wings send two top players with different characteristics, such as Manchester United's Giggs and Beckham, Arsenal's Parlor and Overmars, Barcelona
Rivaldo and Figo, Valencia's Killy and Mendieta... all belong to this type.
The wing combination of Vicente and Camoranesi, if not comparable to these teams, is at least a first-class wing.
"There are more and more people in the midfield... With another Makelele, the midfield will be almost complete. The rest is to be cleaned..." After learning that Camoranesi had agreed to sign with Atletico Madrid,
Dick thought to himself.
As for Makelele, the first wave of offers proposed by Atletico Madrid were cleanly rejected by Celta Vigo.
Then Dick asked the staff to increase the offer to 13 million euros, and Celta said they could talk this time.
Dick is not worried that Atletico Madrid will be taken advantage of by the opponent, because Atletico Madrid's signing characteristics have always been like this. The money they should spend is never stingy. If they think the price is too high, they will not buy it.
Shao is good at prying off non-for-sale items from other teams, and Celta is also very familiar with the characteristics of Atletico Madrid. Since Atletico Madrid wants to buy someone this time, and they can offer a price that makes them feel good, there is no harm in selling... After all, Marclay
Rai is now twenty-seven years old, and being in his golden age also means that he will not be better than he is now in the future. Selling a defensive midfielder for so much money is a good deal for Celta.
Celta offered a counter-offer of 18 million, while Atletico Madrid said it would add up to 1 million more, which was their psychological bottom line.
After several days of bargaining, the transfer fee was finally set at 15 million U.S. dollars, and the new contract provided by Atletico Madrid to Makelele was an annual salary of 1.5 million U.S. dollars. This contract was higher than Makelele's at Celta Vigo.
He got nearly half more, and Makelele was quite satisfied with being able to join Atletico Madrid. His failure to be selected for the French national team this time was a big blow to him. Atletico Madrid's stage is bigger than Celta Vigo.
Participating in the UEFA Cup is also a good opportunity for him to show his strength.
The three midfielders introduced have finally settled, and these three players are all players who have no national team assignments this summer, so it is easier to get it done. As for the next goal, it is a bit difficult. Dick is currently thinking
Several candidates are participating in the European Cup. It's not that they haven't contacted their agents. The feedback they received was "wait until the European Cup is over."
Nowadays, European club transfers are not so accustomed to finalizing players several months or even half a year in advance. Especially in the competition year, many clubs are waiting to see if there is anyone who will perform well in the competition.
The players then rob them, and the players also hope to gild themselves through the competition. It is naturally normal to encounter this kind of situation.
