Chapter 257

Di Natale himself agreed to move to Sporting Gijón, which in Leon's view basically means that there are no obstacles to the deal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The thought that such a brilliant late-blooming attacker would begin his legendary journey from his own hands made Leon excited and excited.

As he expected, the relegated club did not refuse Sporting Gijón's offer for Di Natale, and after learning that the player himself had agreed to transfer to Sporting Gijón, Empoli did not put any obstacles in the way of the transfer fee, which is also a thank you for the player who came out of the Empoli Academy and played for the team for five years.

Sporting Gijón paid a transfer fee of 300,000 euros for Di Natale, which is already relatively generous compared to the pitiful 100,000 euros that the Udinese people took out in the original history.

In fact, at this time, Udinese's 100,000 euro offer has been in the office of the president of Empoli club, and Empoli has no way to do Udinese's 100,000 euro offer, because if Di Natale is determined to go to Udinese, they can't stop it, and the Pozzo family of Udinese also has a lot of influence in Italy, and the player is determined to leave, and Empoli can only suffer a dumb loss.

In such a situation, Sporting Gijón's offer of 300,000 euros is much more 'sincere'. And most importantly, Di Natale himself agreed to go to Gijón, which is a personal decision for the player, and Empoli can not worry about falling out with Udinese.

The Italians' bureaucracy and lazy style of doing things, Li Ang has long been known for, but this time, Di Natale's transfer is going very well.

On the second day, Leon met with the general manager of Empoli on behalf of Sporting Gijón, the two clubs and the player himself, the three parties met, the two clubs signed a player transfer agreement, Di Natale signed a personal contract with Sporting Gijón, and even the physical examination was carried out by Empoli in a local hospital, and the results of the physical examination were OK, which means that Di Natale is now a person from Sporting Gijón.

Grosso also has to go to Gijón for a medical examination, so the transfer of the left wing-back has not yet been finalized, and now, Di Natale, who only began negotiations later, completed the transfer in less than 24 hours!

That's definitely amazing efficiency.

Li Ang is a quick knife to cut through the mess, lest he have a long night and a lot of dreams, so he simply does it cheaply. He is too satisfied with Di Natale, if Grosso may be just a transition at left wing-back in his mind, then Di Natale is a player that Leon values very much, although Di Natale is now twenty-seven years old, but with the good physical fitness and condition of this player, he can maintain the state for at least five to eight years.

Such a big baby, if he doesn't fall into the bag, Li Ang will not rest assured. You know, this is in Italy, Udinese's land snake, and he has to take down Di Natale before Udinese can react. If Udinese reacts to the leaked news, the transfer is not without the possibility of change.

***********

De Natale was officially won, and Leon was so happy that he informed the Italians that he would go to Spain to report nine days later, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Di Natale.

Before leaving Italy, Leon spoke to Grosso on the phone again, expressed concern about the Italian left-back, and told Grosso that he had arranged for club staff to go to Madrid to meet him, and that Grosso and agent Fisichella only needed to take a flight to Madrid airport, and the club would arrange the rest, so there was no need to worry. This call also touched Grosso, who was going to leave for Spain the next day, after all, he left his hometown to wander around, and he would feel more at ease when he learned that he was cared for.

"Fabio. Good news for you. Leon said to Grosso, "In the team, you're going to have an Italian teammate. ”

Grosso was taken aback by the news, he hadn't heard of any Italian player joining Sporting Gijón, could it be an unknown player from the lower leagues?

"Antonio Di Natale. Leon smiled and said, "I told him that you would go to Gijón too, and he was very happy." ”

Grosso heard that Di Natale also went to Gijón, a player he knew, although not particularly familiar, but also known, which made Mr. left-back very happy, with the feeling of a fellow countryman, and Spain no longer felt far away.

"That's really good news. Grosso said happily.

Leon and Grosso ended the call, for the small group within the team, the head coach generally doesn't like it, but this can't be eliminated, Leon has his own understanding of this, everyone has the temperament to hold together, Grosso and Di Natale are fellow countrymen, it is understandable that the relationship is good, and he is not worried that the two Italians will make any trouble in the dressing room. In addition, Di Natale is a very self-contained player, Grosso also expressed a good temper, both players have a good temperament, and he does not need to worry about anything.

Leon left Italy, waved his sleeves, and took the two Italians with him.

Udinese, Udinese coach Spalletti, who is on vacation at home, heard a text from the TV news: Antonio Di Natale, the 27-year-old attacker of the relegated Empoli, chose to go overseas, he joined the Spanish Football League promoted Sporting Magijón, it is reported that the player himself signed a five-year contract with Sporting Gijón, and Di Natale has also become one of the few Italian players to play in Spain in recent years......

Spalletti, who was enjoying his coffee, was stunned, Di Natale went to Spain?

***********

It's no wonder Spalletti was so surprised, he is the current manager of Udinese, and Di Natale is the player Spalletti has named.

For this request of the manager, the owner of Udinese, Pozzo Sr., will naturally be satisfied, not to mention poaching people from a team that has been relegated from Serie A, it is simply a matter of easy things.

Old Pozzo patted Spalletti on the chest and assured that there would be no problem with the Di Natale you asked for.

Spalletti also felt that there would be no problems, so he enjoyed the holiday with peace of mind.

However, now, he suddenly saw the news of Di Natale's transfer to a club in Spain from the TV, much to Spalletti's surprise and anger.

Spalletti immediately called the club's owner, Pozzo Sr., "Boss, what's the matter with the player I want?"

Old Pozzo was not very happy with Spalletti's sudden phone call and questioning tone, but he still had the patience to not drop the phone, "Mr. coach, please pay attention to your attitude." ”

"Boss, sorry. Spalletti apologized, "I'm just in a hurry." ”

"I understand that you are always so committed to your work. After a warning, and a word of praise, old Pozo played this game very well, and then asked, "Which player are you talking about?"

"Antonio Di Natale!" said Spalletti, "Empoli's striker." I just got the news that he has moved to a team in Spain. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask. Old Pozzo covered the microphone and pressed the bell, and after a while, his son, who is now in charge of the team's specific affairs, came.

"What's the matter with Empoli's striker called Di Natale?" asked Pozzo Sr.

Pozzo Jr. thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Empoli wants more transfer fees, don't worry, Dad, they will give in soon." ”

"How much transfer fee did you offer, and how did Empoli get back to you?" asked Pozzo Sr.

"I just gave a flat price of 100,000 euros. "Empoli's reply is 500,000 euros, and they really dare to think that an old striker from a relegated team would dare to ask for so much, I estimate that their final bottom line should be 200,000 euros, but I still hope to be able to get this done for 100,000 euros." ”

Pozzo Jr. enjoys this kind of negotiation, and his personal credo is to get the most value for the least amount of money.

Old Bozo glanced at his son, he knew that his son's temperament was too much pursuit of perfection and maximizing interests, he shook his head, "Son, you don't need to operate this matter." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Bozzo.

Empoli have announced that Di Natale has joined a Spanish club. Pozzo Sr. said.

"Is it?" Xiao Pozo was slightly unhappy, the reason for his displeasure was not because he missed Di Natale, because in fact, Xiao Pozo was not interested in Di Natale, who was twenty-seven years old and had not yet played any fame, but this was just a player named by the team's head coach, and he was unhappy only because he did not get the deal done, which made him a little uncomfortable in his pursuit of perfection.

But that's about it.

***********

"It's a shame. Little Pozzo shrugged, looking unconcerned.

Old Pozzo didn't feel that there was any loss in losing such a player, a player worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 euros, he really couldn't see any room for appreciation, not to mention, the other party was already twenty-seven years old.

Udinese is a well-known player training market in Serie A, Udinese poached young players from all over the world, and then carefully cultivated, and the team also relied on these players, always able to play well in Serie A, and then Udinese will sell these famous players for cash, and then continue to train, continue to cash out, and so on.

Therefore, in Italian football, the most profitable person to buy and sell players is this Udinese.

Udinese are optimistic about the young players, so the Pozzo family doesn't feel a loss for the 27-year-old Di Natale.

Then, the elder Pozzo informed Spalletti on the other end of the phone, who learned that it was only a bargain of one or two hundred thousand euros, and he actually missed Di Natale and was cut off by the Spanish club, which made Spalletti almost jump in anger.

The club owners are unaware of Di Natale's value, however, Spalletti is still a favourite of Di Natale and sees him as an important addition to the team's attacking arsenal.

Of course, it can also be seen from here that even Spalletti does not have such a deep understanding of Di Natale's ability, he just thinks that Di Natale can improve Udinese's attack, and at this time there is no idea of Di Natale as the core of the attack.

Therefore, the current result is that the club missed Di Natale because of 100,000 euros, Spalletti is a little angry, but, after the anger, he can only accept this result, after all, he just missed a relegated team out of the player he admires more, such players, Italy still has a lot of them, and they are looking for it in the transfer market, the only regret is that Di Natale is indeed a cheap and affordable choice, but he didn't seize the opportunity to get it.

***********

The Udinese don't know what the twenty-seven-year-old 'veteran' they missed out on because they were struggling with hundreds of thousands of euros means to them.

Leon also doesn't care about the fate of the Udinese who have lost Di Natale, and in fact, he has always had a bad opinion of the club.

It's a super selfish club. Udinese have finished in the top four of Serie A several times and qualified for the Champions League, but the most important thing they did in the summer at the end of the season was to start selling players, selling players for a high price, sometimes even the backbone of the entire team, and then starting to promote new players in a big way...... As a result, Udinese have been eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers almost every time, and a real Champions Cup day trip can be said to be a complete waste of a Champions Cup place in Italy...... It is Italian football as a whole that suffers.

Leon has no guilt about poaching the future cornerstones of such a team, and he even feels that the Italians should be grateful to him. Without Di Natale, Udinese would probably not have found such a perfect replacement, and their results would not be as good as they have historically been, and they would not have had the opportunity to squander Italy's Champions League places.

Leon felt that he had done a great deed.

Leon took a direct flight to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and his target was a young man named Modric.

Luka Modric, whose full name is Lukamodric, was born on 9 September 1985 in Zadar, Croatia's fifth-largest city on the Adriatic Sea. Somewhat similar to many young talents, Modric was 16 years old when he was picked up by Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb and officially started his career.

In order to give him more training, Dinamo Zagreb loaned him to Sapresic Athletic and Mostar Zlinski in Bosnia and Herzegovina when he was 18 years old, and the fledgling Modric became the best player in the Bosnian league that season thanks to his outstanding performances.

Now, with Luka Modric back on loan, the lad is currently in the dark about his future as the club intend to keep him out on loan...... (To be continued.) )
