Chapter 216: Casting Fragrant Bait to Catch the Golden Boy
"Jose said in the interview that Mallorca will introduce in the next place. We have reason to believe this. They cashed out more than 40 million US dollars in Carazze and Luke and other players. The introduction of three Brazilian players and Campo only cost them less than 13 million. Now they have enough transfer funds. It depends on what kind of forwards they will introduce in the next place. There are not many forwards in the transfer market. Maybe they will introduce Crespo from Lazio? This is not a rare thing. Lazio is facing a serious economic crisis and needs to fill the deficit by selling players. There are also economic crisis in the Premier League. There are news that Mallorca has a fancy to Leeds United's Viduca, but this news is not very credible because Viduca has no intention of leaving the Premier League now, and he does not lack suitors in the Premier League..."
After Jose said that Mallorca would also introduce a striker, he disappeared from the media's sight. At the same time, Mallorca's technical director Piri disappeared, which greatly increased the media's interest in Mallorca's next move, because at this time, other Spanish giants did not make much moves. Real Madrid was secretly pursuing Ronaldo, Barcelona was approaching Riquelme, Valencia had not taken back the transfer funds of Mendeta, so they had no moves this season. They only introduced French full-back Reveer, La Coruna spent a lot on Luke, and introduced Portuguese defender Andrade, and there was not much money left. On the contrary, Mallorca has become the team that can be paid the most in the transfer market, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. []
However, Jose and Piri's whereabouts were quite secret. Without anyone knowing it, they quietly came to Madrid...
This time I went there not Real Madrid, but Atletico Madrid.
For Atletico Madrid, last season was simply disastrous. He failed to make a rush for two consecutive seasons. Although the main striker Kiko signed a long contract with the team, he was injured. The overall strength of the team declined. If he wasted a few more years in the Spanish Second Division, perhaps this second-favorite team in Madrid would directly become a low-level team and would not be able to turn over for the last ten years.
However, Atletico Madrid, the third most winning team in Spain, is still not comparable to that of ordinary small teams. Hill learned from his mistakes and invited the famous coach Aragonese, and opened his wallet, attracting a large number of powerful players - this is the benefit of the old team. When they sink, many players will feel that saving an old team is also something to be proud of...
I bought the left-back Sergi, who is no longer the main player, and I bought striker Luis Garcia on loan from AC Milan. I bought Contra and Moreno from Argentina's central defender Kolocini on loan. Among them, the face of the old coach Aragonese also played a great role.
"Jose, I'm so happy to see you again."
Having seen him for more than a year, Hill has already looked much older. Obviously, his life has not been easy this year. Because of his poor performance, Atletico Madrid fans have also begun to feel dissatisfied with him, which makes Old Hill a little exhausted.
However, when he saw Jose, he still smiled, especially when Atletico Madrid now has no shortage of forward and defenders, but the midfield lacks a capable player, he wants to introduce Novo, which has been pushed into the transfer market by Mallorca. However, the transfer fees of the previous players and meeting their salary requirements have already put Atletico Madrid on a heavy burden. At this time, if Mallorca can relax the transfer fees, it will be a great help to Atletico Madrid.
"Mr. Hill, I'm very happy to see you... You see, I'm very sincere. At least I know you must be very busy recently, so I took Mr. Piri to Madrid to meet you so that you won't be tired from running around." Jose said with a smile.
Jose is a match for the two clubs in Madrid. Mallorca has had a lot of personnel flowing with Atletico Madrid in history, and has a lot of personnel interactions with Real Madrid. Although Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are incompatible, they both maintain a certain degree of intimacy with Mallorca. There is no conflict between Capdvilla from Atletico Madrid and Etoo from Real Madrid. It is also considered Jose's ability.
"About Novo's transfer..." After sitting down, Hill couldn't wait to ask.
"Novo's transfer is fine, and our relationship with Atletico Madrid is also very good... We can even provide part of the funds and use the funds to exchange a player with Atletico Madrid." Jose said with a smile.
Hill was stunned for a moment. He didn't know who could make Mallorca look down on his players. Atletico Madrid's current strong players are nothing more than a few players bought this summer. The players who have just transferred cannot be transferred for less than half a season. These players are basically players who are unable to play as main players in the championship team. In this way, the only thing that Jose can attract is...
"Do you want Fernando? Torres?" Hill was not a fool either. After thinking about it, he remembered the Atletico golden boy Torres that Jose wanted to buy a year and a half ago!
Last season, Torres quickly became Atletico Madrid's main force after returning from injury, and became the core of Atletico Madrid's offense when Kiko was injured. However, his performance was not particularly outstanding. His thirty-six appearances in the league and six goals were considered a relatively outstanding performance for a 17-year-old young player, but it was not enough to bring Atletico Madrid back to La Liga...
Although he helped the Spanish Under-19 youth team win the European Youth Championship this summer, Torres is still considered a star of hope.
Hill thought about it for a long time and still shook his head: "Sorry, Jose, now we... cannot let Torres go."
"I know Torres is very important to Atletico Madrid now, but Atletico Madrid wants to return to La Liga in time! Torres has potential, but now he can't help Atletico. Atletico needs players who can perform well now! Now Atletico's forward line has Moreno, and Luis Garcia, Torres is not indispensable for you. If you sell him to us, you can get a mature Novo to supplement the strength of the midfield. I can get a lot of money to make up for the financial shortcomings... I know Atletico Madrid has not invested much in the transfer market this summer, but Contra, Moreno, Luis Garcia, Sergi... These people have a lot of salary, and there is also a Kolocini! I am also a major shareholder of a club. I know how much it costs to maintain the operation of a club. What's more, in the Spanish Second Division, the source of income has dropped sharply and can afford it for two years. Mr. Hill, you have already paid too much. No! Five million US dollars, plus a Novo, which is worth no less than four million US dollars in the transfer market, no young player can be worth this price. Yes, I don't deny that I am optimistic about Torres, but he is still too young now, and Atletico Madrid needs results now, which will make the pressure on this young man too great and easily damage his talent and body. If I go to Mallorca, I will use him more safely. Luke left, but I don't want to let He will be able to replace Luke immediately, but instead need to let him grow slowly and give him a more relaxed environment. This will be an invaluable help for himself and Spanish football. Mr. Hill, if Atletico Madrid is in La Liga now, I would not make such a request, because with Atletico Madrid's strength, there will be no problem with relegation in La Liga, and Torres will not be under too much pressure - but Mr. Hill, the pressure of upgrading and relegation is completely different!"
Hill couldn't help but nodded, and he was in the last moment after two consecutive seasons of upgrades. He was so touched by this...
"Novo, plus five million dollars, or if Atletico Madrid is afraid that the forward strength is not enough, I can also provide a striker, the Croatian Krasnic who performed well in our Mallorca last season... He is only four years older than Torres, and is also very young. He has received the baptism of promotion in Germany and participated in La Liga and Champions League in Mallorca. Maybe the future is not as broad as Torres, but now, the role he can play is no worse than Torres."
Jose threw out the last bait. The transfer proposal was made by Piri before. Jose had already lost his heart to introduce Torres. After all, Torres had already played the main force at Atletico Madrid last season, but Atletico Madrid unexpectedly failed to advance, which made Piri accurately discover the possibility of introducing Torres. You should know that Raul also came out of Atletico's youth team and paid attention to Torres Piri for a long time. He believed that this young man was likely to become the next Raul, so Piri kept thinking about whether he could buy Torres in Mallorca. In his opinion, Torres' characteristics and Eto'o
Luke and even Drogba are different. His speed is not as fast as Etoo, his skills are not as strong as Luke, and his physical strength is not as strong as Drogba. However, he has no obvious weaknesses, his dexterity and skills are combined, not to mention that he is only eighteen years old and has infinite training possibilities. After Luke left, Drogba was still a bit reluctant to let Drogba play the main player immediately. After all, he did not play in the last season. If he could buy Torres, letting Torres and Drogba take turns to partner with Etoo, which would not only give them the opportunity to exercise, but also make Mallorca's forward combination more flexible and perform better. It is the best of both worlds.
It was almost impossible to buy such a rookie who was focused on being trained by the club, but Atletico Madrid failed to advance to provide the possibility for this matter. In addition, there are two chips on hand, Novo and Krashnich, so Hill is not worried about not being moved.
After hearing that he could buy Novo and Krashnich with Torres plus five million US dollars, Hill was moved. Although Novo and Krashnich were substitutes for Mallorca, they both performed very well last season. Novo's organization and forward-swinging ability in the midfield, and Krashnich's all-around performance in the frontcourt were praised by many people. Such two players can immediately form combat power after coming to Mallorca. With Atletico Madrid's player combination and Aragonese's leadership, it will be easier to advance to La Liga. More importantly, Novo and Krashnich are not very old. Novo is twenty-four years old and Krashnich is only twenty-two years old. Atletico Madrid can use them for many years.
So after thinking for a long time, Hill reluctantly replied: "...Please give me a day, I need to discuss it with Mr. Aragones."
