Chapter 68 Future Leaders
Monchi arrived in Majadahonda accompanied by Paulo Futre.
When he saw him for the first time, Yang Hao really wanted to ask him: When did you start to have a bald head?
Because it was so bright, there wasn't a single hair left.
Monchi has spent his entire career at Sevilla. He is a goalkeeper but not a main player.
He retired in 1999 and just took over as Sevilla's sports director a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the first person he came to was Atletico Madrid.
This time his purpose of coming was very clear, he wanted Zoran Negus, Gustavo and Javi Casquero.
The 27-year-old Serbian player Zoran Negüç is a right-back, while the 24-year-old Gustavo and Javi Casquero are standard Atletico Madrid youth training players, playing as defensive midfielders.
Neguez has not had much playing time this season, but the fact that he can play for a team like Atletico Madrid proves that he is capable. Gustavo and Cascro have performed well in the Spanish Second Division.
This was one of the few bright spots in Atletico Madrid's turbulent years. The second team played very well in the Spanish Second Division and even almost won the championship, which is why Sevilla came knocking on their door.
Over the past few years, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla have cooperated a lot. For example, players such as Jose Mari and Jose Luque were bought by Atletico Madrid from Sevilla.
There is a reason why Monchi, when he took office, first went to Atletico Madrid.
Of course Yang Hao gave the green light. It was going to be sold anyway, so it didn't matter who it was sold to.
But Monchi wants to buy Gustavo and Cascolò cheaply and rent Zoran Negús.
Because Sevilla has no money.
Seeing Monkie's embarrassed look, Yang Hao suddenly wanted to laugh.
It turns out that he is quite happy.
"There's no need to rent it, let's just change it."
"exchange?"
"Yes, three for three, I want Carlos Marchena, Jose Antonio Reyes and Sergio Ramos."
After a pause, Yang Hao added: "Of course, I know Marchena is worth a lot, and we are willing to make up the difference."
Monkie looked at Yang Hao in surprise.
Among these three players, Marchena is the most sought-after, with a current market value of between 5.5 million and 6 million euros. Reyes has also made his mark in the first team. This player is very fast and has excellent skills. He is also very attractive within Sevilla, and they plan to focus on cultivating him.
As for Sergio Ramos, he sounded familiar to Monchi. He should be from the youth team, but he was not familiar with him.
"Sorry, Yang, Marchena has decided to transfer to Benfica in the Portuguese Super League for 5.7 million euros."
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Portuguese Super League team would act so quickly.
But on second thought, it’s true.
Just like Atletico Madrid's current players, Sevilla is more determined to be relegated than Atletico Madrid. It is estimated that their players have already contacted their next club, including Marchena.
Yang Hao was not disappointed that he failed to snatch Marchena.
Because Marchena's performance in Benfica is not ideal, if Atletico Madrid really needs him, they can take action before Valencia and snatch this future Spanish international.
After talking with Monkie, Yang Hao discovered something very interesting, that is, he remembered it wrong.
Neither Navas nor Capel are currently at Sevilla.
Today's Sevilla is similar to Atletico Madrid. It can be said that everything is in ruins and it has no money on hand.
In that case, there is nothing more to say.
Yang Hao wanted to exchange Reyes and Ramos, but it was definitely impossible to exchange three mature players who could fight immediately for two young players, especially Ramos, who was only 14 years old.
What if Yang Hao had no sense of honor and poached the players privately, and still was polite to Sevilla?
So, the final result of the negotiation was either Zoran Negus for two, or Gustavo and Cascro for two, depending on what Monchi chose.
Reyes has great potential, but he is too young after all. Not to mention Ramos, he is just a young seedling and it is difficult to see what he can do now. Monchi did not think about it for too long and agreed directly.
He wants to replace Zoran Neguse.
Atletico Madrid definitely suffered a loss by exchanging Reyes for Zoran Neguez, and adding Ramos is just barely enough.
…
Paul Futre had received the message.
Atletico Madrid is about to sign a shareholding contract with Yang Hao.
In other words, Yang Hao will also be one of his bosses in the future.
After seeing off Monchi, he stayed behind specifically to inquire about the purpose of this exchange.
Paul Futre guessed that Yang Hao should be interested in Reyes, a player with excellent speed and skills and great potential.
It is quite normal to exchange a dispensable combat force for a potential young player .
Whether it is worth it or not is a matter of opinion.
If the combat effectiveness cannot be used, it is useless, and it is also useless if the young players are not kicked out.
But what surprised Paul Futre was that Yang Hao not only valued Reyes, but even valued Ramos more.
"If it's arranged, I want to meet with Ramos." Yang Hao said happily.
Among the many defenders in Spain, Ramos is the only one who can stand out after Puyol.
The key is Ramos's leadership and fighting spirit, which are a perfect match for Atletico Madrid.
Such talents must not be left to Real Madrid!
Get Florentino out!
"I just saw the materials you submitted. Lionel Pilipascas wants to return to Uruguay and join Peñarol?" Yang Hao asked with concern.
"Yes, his agent told us two months ago that Peñarol was also interested in signing the Uruguayan international."
"What now?"
Paul Futre shook his head. "No more mention of it."
Obviously, he changed his mind after seeing the team successfully avoid relegation.
This is normal and human nature.
But since you have already decided to leave, just do it quickly.
"Tell Peñarol to trade for Walter Pandiani."
"Pandiani?" Paul Futre frowned. He had never heard of this name.
"He is Peñarol's top scorer, nicknamed The Rifle. His market value is around 700,000 euros. It's up to you to decide the details," Yang Hao explained.
Paul Futre was a little surprised. He didn't know where Yang Hao got the information from. He even estimated the player's value.
Of course Yang Hao wouldn't tell him.
Pandiani will transfer to Deportivo La Coruña this year for a fee of 700,000.
This player is actually a bit like Hasselbaink. He is good at physical confrontation and his technique is relatively rough, but his shooting and sense of smell are very sharp. He is especially good at heading and is a natural killer.
But he has one characteristic that Hasselbaink does not have, that is his fighting spirit on the court, excellent running ability, and excellent physical fitness. This is what Yang Hao values most.
Furthermore, we should be prepared for everything.
As the team's head coach, even if Yang Hao successfully signs Adriano, it is still a question whether the Brazilian center can adapt to La Liga and integrate into the team.
In the long season, considering that the team will play in the Europa League next, which is a three-line battle, even if they play with a single striker, having only one, or even only two stable strikers, is not enough.
If the 24-year-old Pandiani can be signed, it will undoubtedly be a good choice.
Moreover, he has dual citizenship of Uruguay and Italy, which can save one foreign aid quota.
As for who will be kicked out at that time, Yang Hao doesn't mind.
"By the way, Paul, please help me make an appointment with Jose Vega." Yang Hao suddenly said.
Paul Futre was stunned for a moment. "What's the matter?"
"Aren't there many teams interested in Hugo Leal?"
Jose Vega is currently the largest agent in Portugal. Some even say that he has monopolized the path for all Portuguese players to play abroad. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to show his current influence.
Hugo Leal is Jose Vega's player.
In 2000, Jose Vega's backyard was a gold mine, gathering too many future stars.
Not only that, Jose Vega has very close cooperation with the Brazilian side, and Yang Hao also hopes to get in touch with the Brazilian side through him to facilitate the introduction of Adriano and other players.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
…
As soon as the league ended, the transfer machine in European football slowly started.
After the team played in the King's Cup final, goalkeeper coach Giorgio Perizzaro said goodbye to Yang Hao, the coaching staff and players. He will return to Ranieri, who is currently unemployed at home.
In the new season, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeping coach will be Pedro Haro.
The first player to leave the team was Ventolin. The Italian midfielder, who was about to turn 32, moved to Torino in Serie B, obviously wanting to return to his roots.
Next is Beybul.
The Czech midfielder's agent put him in touch with Lens in Ligue 1.
Lens has performed well in recent years, ranking 5th in Ligue 1 last season, and can also compete in European competitions. After receiving the olive branch from Lens, Beyerdynamic immediately grabbed it tightly in his hand.
The transfer fee was negotiated smoothly. The 27-year-old Czech's contract was about to expire, and he made it clear that he would not renew his contract with Atletico Madrid, so in the end the Colchoneros had no choice but to let him go for 2 million euros.
After Venturin and Beybul's transfers, other teams also made moves.
Leeds United, Chelsea and other Premier League teams have contacted Atletico Madrid, hoping to sign Floyd Hasselbaink; Deportivo La Coruna wants to bag Molina, Capdevila and Valeron; Valencia wants Baraja; Real Madrid wants Solari; Middlesbrough wants Juninho...
In an instant, Atletico Madrid completely turned into a supermarket, and almost all teams that wanted to invest in the transfer market had to come in to take a look.
Is there any way to do this?
The situation is stronger than people, I expected it long ago.
In Yang Hao's previous life, Atletico Madrid was forced to sell players after being relegated. Some players even had relegation clauses in their contracts, so the situation was very passive. But now it is different.
Atletico Madrid has now successfully avoided relegation.
Yang Hao gave Deportivo La Coruña a price: 5 million euros for Molina, 10 million euros for Capdevila, and 20 million euros for Belleron. If you want them, take them away. If you don't want them, forget it. There will be no discount.
This offer is much higher than Yang Hao's previous life, mainly because the players performed well in the last few games.
Besides, after half a year of collaboration, Deportivo La Coruña should pay more.
But Deportivo La Coruña has made a fortune recently, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Although the Real Madrid election has not yet been settled, Flavio's transfer for 25 million euros has been agreed.
Portuguese striker Pauleta transferred to French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux for 9.1 million euros.
With more than 30 million coming in all at once, what are you afraid of?
After dealing with Deportivo La Coruña left Madrid that day and flew to Lausanne, Switzerland, accompanied by Mendiodoro.
