Chapter 279: The Reinforcement Ends
What Leon didn't know was that just as he was asking Domzale for Handanovic, Udinese was also extending an invitation to Handanovic and was almost ready to take the signing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Slovenian Domzale Club, their general manager Radsvkovsky is in a happy mood.
Originally, he was about to agree to Serie A team Udinese's bid for Handanovic, but the bid from La Liga team Sporting Gijón made him see an opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price.
Udinese's offer is 300,000 euros, which is honestly not too high for a 20-year-old goalkeeper of this very ordinary club in Slovenia, but it cannot be said to be low, it belongs to the normal category.
If there are no other contenders, Radzewkowski will have to agree to the transfer of Udinese.
However, now, Sporting Gijón is also seeking Handanovic, and the price is 350,000 euros, don't underestimate this is only 50,000 euros higher than the Italian, but for a club like Domzale, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
Moreover, the offer of Sporting Gijón also shows their attitude, they are more sincere. The quotation price code is the most direct embodiment of sincerity.
***********
Gijón's side, at the Mareo training base, in the office of head coach Leon.
Soon, assistant coach Mr. Scott Ray reported to Coach Leon that the Domzale club had replied that Handanovic was not for sale.
Li Ang directly scoffed, a twenty-year-old second goalkeeper is a Mao non-sale, this is to sit on the ground and start the price.
Leon's first instinct was that there were other clubs that were also looking to buy Handanovic, which emboldened Domzale.
This made Li Ang a little anxious, and the players he fancied didn't want to be snatched away again.
Which club will it be?Leon thought about it, and then his eyes lit up, it was Udinese!
That's right, it should be Udinese, I have the impression that Handanovic transferred to Udinese this summer, and then after Udinese worked as a cold bench for a season, he was loaned out by Udinese for three consecutive seasons, and it was not until the summer of 2007 that he returned to Udinese to secure the main position.
It was determined that the opponent was Udinese, Li Ang was not in a hurry, Udinese was best at buying at a low price and selling at a high price, a twenty-year-old young goalkeeper, Udinese was reluctant to pay more, and it was hundreds of thousands of euros.
This opponent is not to be feared.
***********
Leon then asked Scottry to make a second offer to Domzale, this time directly raising the price to 500,000 euros, and specifically informed the other party that this is the final offer, a fixed price, no pull-down!
Leon believes that it is impossible for Udinese to buy Handanovic with 500,000 euros, and he does not remember how much Udinese spent when he bought Handanovic in history, but it must be within 500,000 euros, and if it is not good, it will be 300,000 euros.
As Leon expected, having received a second offer from Sporting Gijón, Domzale general manager Radesvkovski almost jumped for joy at the price of half a million euros.
Sporting Gijón was the last offer!
Subsequently, Radesvkovsky first replied to Udinese, asking the other party 500,000 euros back, and then he received a reply from Udinese, 400,000 euros, a fixed price!
In this case, it is needless to say what choice Radesvkovsky will make.
Domzale then officially replied to Sporting Gijón, accepting a request from Sporting Gijón for 500,000 euros to buy young goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. Sporting Gijón can make contact with Handanovic to discuss personal treatment.
Would Handanovic be willing to go to Sporting Gijon?!
This answer is also obvious, from an ordinary team in the Slovenian First Division to a La Liga team, this is definitely a qualitative improvement, in addition, in the subsequent communication with Sporting Gijón, he learned that the other side has qualified for the League Cup, and the new season will play in La Liga, UEFA Cup and Spanish Copa del Rey in the third tier.
What it means, it means he has more chances to play. The team fights on three fronts and is bound to rotate to a certain extent. I don't know if I still have a chance to play in the League Cup.
Handanovic readily accepted the invitation of Sporting Gijón, the young Slovenian goalkeeper, who decided to come to Spain.
***********
On August 1, Handanovic came to Gijón with his agent, and after successfully passing the medical examination, he officially signed with Sporting Gijón.
Subsequently, Sporting Gijón announced on its official website that the team signed a contract with 20-year-old Slovenian player Samir Handanovic, a young goalkeeper who plays for Slovenian First Division team Domzale, and officially transferred to Sporting Gijón for 500,000 euros, and the two sides signed a five-year contract!
After signing Handanovic, Leon also announced to the media that the team's transfer work this summer is officially over, and there will be no new players coming and no players leaving.
This announcement, to a certain extent, is also the need to stabilize the morale of the army, for those players who are still in the team and promoted with the team, this is to give them peace of mind, which is equivalent to saying to them, the coach values you, you are sure to stay now, and look forward to the new season together.
Throughout the transfer period, Sporting Gijón had eight players leave, two of whom returned on loan and six on transfer.
Sporting Gijón brought in eleven players, namely goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, defenders Pepe, Fernando Hiero, Branisslav Ivanovic, Fabio Grosso, and midfielders Franck Ribery, Luka Modric and Albertini.
There is also the most heavily recruited forward line, with three new signings, namely Antonio Di Natale and Diego Milito, and youngster Karim Benzema.
***********
Eight players left, eleven players came, the whole team can be said to be a big change, in La Liga of the three promoted horses, Sporting Gijón can be said to be the biggest move in the transfer market, of course, this move is the biggest, not their big recruitment, but a large-scale blood change.
However, after the introduction of eleven players, Sporting Gijón's transfer funds were not used up, and after entering and leaving, there was still a balance of 3 million euros, and in the eyes of some media, they also began to ridicule Sporting Gijón for not knowing where to get a bunch of rags.
Philp, a reporter for the newspaper Marca, once again said that these bargains of Sporting Gijón will soon prove to be veritable rags, and Sporting Gijón's almost chaotic change of blood will be punished, and La Liga will give this team a blow to the head.
To this, Li Ang responded directly, "These players of mine will surprise everyone!"
These words naturally attracted some media questions and sarcasm, anyway, there are many media who are unhappy with him, and they are waiting to see a good show.
***********
Li Ang doesn't have time to fight with the media, he is now busy practicing the team's tactics, now that the recruitment has ended and the team has stabilized, the next step is to run in the lineup as soon as possible and improve the strength.
Li Ang announced the end of the recruitment of Sporting Gijón, the team was cheering, the players can also prepare for the new season with peace of mind, and the fans can also rest assured, and there is no need to break their fingers to discuss the team's recruitment.
However, the news announced by Li Ang was like a bolt from the blue for the two players of Team B.
Juan and Ruben, the two players who were beaten into the cold by Leon, are still counting on this transfer period to transfer away and escape from this terrible place, and their transfer application to the club has not been answered, and now they suddenly hear that the team's transfer is officially over, these two unlucky people are completely stupid......
"It's as if we've been forgotten. Ruben said indignantly.
"It's not forgotten, the bastard did it on purpose!" Juan said through gritted teeth.
Li Ang had indeed forgotten about the two unlucky people he had beaten into the cold palace a long time ago.
On August 2, the whole team of Sporting Gijón took a family photo for the new season.
Li Ang sat in the front row, surrounded by his own players, everyone with a big smile on their faces, and they were extremely looking forward to the new season.
This family photo of Sporting Gijón from the 2004/2005 season has since become the fondest memory of all Gijón fans, and from this summer, the 'Kings of the North' made a strong comeback with this group of players.
