Chapter 822

The Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.

The atmosphere in the president's office is a bit stiff, and Real Madrid president Florentino's face is not good-looking.

Sitting next to him, special adviser Zinedine Zidane, general manager baldano and Butragueno also have grim faces.

They are talking about a very serious topic and waiting for someone.

The topic is about Real Madrid's transfer operations this summer.

There is no doubt that last summer's transfer and recruitment was quite a failure. Although Adebayor was finally captured, compared with Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, the Togolese striker obviously lacked weight. Moreover, his performance in the team was not satisfactory, and even some voices asked him to leave.

Last season, Argentina striker Higuain took on the task of attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold for the team. He scored 27 goals in 32 league matches, which is the number one scorer in the team. Moreover, this is the second consecutive season when he scored more than 20 goals.

But unfortunately, he belongs to the legacy of former President Calderon.

In a team like Real Madrid, this is undoubtedly quite embarrassing for Florentino.

What's more, doubts about his operation ability have been constantly emerging within the team, because he now has a budget of several hundred million euros, but he has not even introduced a superstar, which is undoubtedly unqualified.

Real Madrid is a very special team, he does not need to consider the profit, every penny earned can be put into the transfer market, and as chairman, the only thing Florentino needs to do is to serve the fans.

Or, strictly speaking, member fans.

But last season, the team's performance was not ideal. The failure in the transfer market hit Real Madrid in La Liga. Not only that, the two rival teams rose with the tide and shine.

Barcelona, under the guidance of Guardiola, have made steady progress. They not only won the La Liga championship, but also defeated Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, achieving the double title of La Liga, which makes Barcelona dream three team once again win over Europa.

As for rival Atletico Madrid, Simone took over the position of Atletico Madrid after heinks returned to Germany. In his first season, Simone brought the Spanish team into the Champions League final. Unfortunately, the bedspread team lost in the Spanish League and the Champions League, and finally failed to win the championship.

But in the king's cup, Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid and won the cup.

What makes Atletico Madrid even more excited is that after the team moved to the new stadium, the income increased sharply. General manager Hill even called out to start the renewal of his contract in this summer, including Torres, villa, Cedu Keita, Gaby, Ramos and Navas, who have been playing for many years.

The two arch rivals are full of talents and achievements, but they make real madrid very embarrassed.

In his first season, there was no breakthrough in the results. The Champions League still stopped in the last 16, ranked third in the league, and the king's Cup reached the final, but failed to win.

In any case, this is not a satisfactory report card.

Including Florentino, all the top management of Real Madrid are also feeling the pressure, they must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.

Percussion percussion percussion.

Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the silent office straightened their chests.

"Come in." Cried Florentino.

It was no one else who opened the door. It was Real Madrid's head coach, Jose Mourinho.

As the famous head coach in Europe, he has an extraordinary influence in the football world. Even after two years of idle work, he failed to achieve satisfactory results after coaching Real Madrid.

On the contrary, he appeared in the Spanish press more because of all kinds of off-site news.

"Good afternoon, sir."

As soon as he entered the door, he said hello to the crowd and sat down on an empty sofa.

When the protagonist comes, the meeting can officially begin.

"Jose, we are looking for you today mainly for the summer transfer General manager baldano said first.

"I have submitted a transfer plan to the technical department before. I think our current team is not competitive and needs to be strengthened in the front, the side, the midfield and the back line," he said

In other words, he is not satisfied with the entire Real Madrid squad.

Baldano nodded, "I understand that the management must give their full support. Now we are struggling with Liverpool, hoping to sign Gerrard and Arsenal's midfield Fabregas. These two players will be our core targets this summer."

The introduction of superstars is a strategy formulated by Florentino when he took office.

There is a long-standing rumor that Gerrard and Fabregas will move to Real Madrid. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are not well-off. There are signs that the two teams are lagging behind Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, so they are in urgent need of help.

Therefore, it is also natural to sell the two stars in charge in exchange for a large transfer fee.

Speaking of this, baldano sighed helplessly, "but you know, we're in an awkward situation."

On one side, Butragueno said: "Liverpool have repeatedly said that Gerrard is not for sale. We have raised our offer for Gerrard from the original 30 million euros to the current 50 million euros. As a result, they are still unmoved. In the same situation, there is Fabregas. When we drive to 50 million euros, Arsenal still refuse to negotiate."

Real Madrid's situation is really embarrassing, as anyone can see.

On the one hand, they have a large transfer budget, which is said to be hundreds of millions of euros. On the other hand, they only need high-level stars. This type of players are often extremely scarce in the transfer market. Once players are valued by Real Madrid, their value will soar. Some teams even give them to Real Madrid and other teams, It's two completely different offers.

Liverpool and Arsenal are not alone, but also United's Wayne Rooney.

Florentino has made it clear that as long as Manchester United are willing to sell, Real Madrid are willing to offer 80 million euros or even a higher price for Wayne Rooney. However, Ferguson's Manchester United have always clenched their teeth and refused to sell anyway.

These days, superstars are luxury goods. They can't be dug up without a sky high price.

"We have also had contact with Wolfsburg, and the price they marked for Dzeko is also very high."

"How much?" Asked Jose, frowning.

"Sixty million euros."

"They're crazy!" "He said angrily.

Dzeko is a 24-year-old high center with a good foot. Since joining Wolfsburg, he has gradually become the top scorer in the Bundesliga. In the last two seasons, he has scored 26 goals and 22 goals respectively, with high efficiency.

But Wolfsburg's previous offer to other teams is said to be only 40 million euros, and now it has gone up.

"In addition to Dzeko, there are also Belgium's lucaku, Werder Bremen's Almeida, Villarreal's niemar and China city's Diego Costa on our list

Jose is listening to baldano silently. Lukaku is too young. Almeida is his compatriot. It can be considered. Neither can Neymar. As for Diego Costa

When he heard the name, his eyes lit up. "Will Chinatown sell it?"

Baldano looked at Florentino and Zidane and shook his head. "I don't know. We need to get in touch."

"We played against Chinatown last season. This team is very strong. If it wasn't for Falcao and Ramirez, this team would have been in the top six or even the top four. Diego Costa is also in line with my requirements

"In addition to Diego Costa, I think China City winger obamayan, midfield player muhitan, centre half Otamendi and goalkeeper de GEA are all very worthy of consideration

Baldano was a little too cruel to hear?

It's the rhythm of digging out Chinatown.

Florentino couldn't sit still at this time, coughing heavily twice, "well... The relationship between Chinatown and us is extraordinary. We have been cooperating very well in the past few years. Gao Han and I are very close friends. If we want to play a role without hurting each other, I'm afraid we have to be the same as Chelsea."

Pay liquidated damages!

Everyone is a heart jump, do not know should be funny, or helpless.

There are few teams coveting China City players. However, after the sale of Falcao and Ramirez, China city has obtained a large amount of transfer funds. In addition, after signing several sponsorship contracts, the Bank of Madrid has provided 150 million euro loan, and the club's finance has been basically stable.

In this case, in the face of outside poaching, Chinatown has only one answer, not for sale.

This is undoubtedly the best way to let all the teams who want to dig corners retreat.

Take Diego Costa as an example. He did well last season, but his value would not exceed 25 million euros. However, his penalty is as high as 60 million euros, which is absolutely a very expensive price. Even if he has the halo bonus of high cold, it is also very popular and daunting.

As for Otamendi, one of the best central defenders in La Liga last season, he was selected by Argentina to participate in the world cup in South Africa. If he can shine in the world cup and become famous at one stroke, it is in line with Real Madrid's superstar strategy. At that time, the price will be higher, which is also understandable.

De GEA's performance is really eye-catching. He is known as the most talented goalkeeper of Spain after Casillas. He is only 19 years old, but he has played a complete La Liga season and a La Liga season. His performance is remarkable and he has also been selected into the Spanish national team. However, his penalty is even more outrageous, as high as 100 million.

Obamayan is an extremely fast winger. After he left Falcao last season, he showed his strength in scoring, and muhitarian was the best player in Chinatown last season. Especially after Falcao left, he was stable in the middle and became the engine of the team's attack.

In last season's La Liga League, although Chinatown only got the eighth place, there is no doubt about its strength. A number of players in the team also showed a brilliant level, especially the vision of cold and cultivating young players.

But any team, including Real Madrid, want to dig China City, is certainly not an easy thing.

Especially the high cold.
