Cambiaso went to Madrid for a medical examination and final personal treatment negotiations, and on the Italian side, the transfer of Zivo, which was personally operated by Inter Milan president Moratti, also made a breakthrough, and the two clubs were close to reaching a transfer agreement.

In fact, the two clubs were once in a dispute over the price negotiations, Inter Milan president Moratti said that he was only willing to pay a maximum of 12 million for Zivo's transfer to the Nerazzurri, but Roma did not sell it for 16 million euros.

At the crucial moment, Inter Milan manager Leon personally made a phone call to Zivo, which played a key role in the progress of the transfer.

Leon is not the unknown person he was a few years ago, La Liga champion, Spanish Copa del Rey champion, UEFA Cup champion, Serie A champion, Italian Cup champion, UEFA Champions League champion, in addition to the Club World Cup championship, Leon has almost achieved a grand slam of a head coach in the club position, is one of the most popular coaches in Europe, feels Leang's attention to himself, Zivo is very excited, and the Romanian defender is very proactive about the transfer to Inter Milan.

Subsequently, the positive attitude and determination of Zivo himself and his agent, the Becali brothers, led to the rapid development of the transfer deal.

After that phone call, Zivo's personal will played a decisive role here.

In order to be able to play under Leon, the Romanian even took the initiative to reduce the annual salary of 1 million euros to help Inter Milan make up for the gap in transfer fees, originally Inter Milan and Zivo negotiated personal treatment, and reached an annual salary of 5.5 million euros, after Zivo took the initiative to reduce his salary, his new contract annual salary will be 4.5 million euros per year, instead of the previous 5.5 million, but the contract period has increased from the original 4 years to 5 years.

Roma's asking price at Zivo had remained at 16 million euros, which also made Moratti unhappy and left the negotiating table in anger. However, after Zivo offered to reduce his annual salary equivalent to nearly 5 million euros in compensation to Inter Milan, Moratti was willing to return to the negotiating table and accepted the basis of Roma's offer of a transfer fee of 16 million euros.

Under such premise, Moratti arrived in Rome by private jet at around 6 p.m. local time on the 25th. After an hour or so of face-to-face talks with the head of AS Roma, Ms. Sensi, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement on Zivo's transfer to Inter Milan.

Zivo will move from Roma to Inter Milan for 16 million euros (including half ownership of young defender Andreoli, equivalent to 3 million euros). After Zivo's arrival, Moratti left for Milan at around 8.30pm local time.

After returning to Milan, Moratti called Leon to report the good news.

Leon thanked Mr. President for his efforts on the transfer, and Moratti joked that it was a phone call from Leon that would have been more effective if he had stepped in personally.

Before the transfer agreement was reached, Zivo had secretly undergone a medical examination in a hospital in Rome and successfully passed the medical examination, so the transfer agreement also means that the transfer deal is officially completed.

July 25th, evening.

At 21:00 local time in Italy, the official website of Inter Milan announced that 26-year-old Romanian defender Christian Zivo officially transferred from Roma to Inter Milan for 16 million euros, and the two sides signed a five-year contract.

Inter Milan and the head coach Mr. Leon warmly welcomed the Romanian.

Inter Milan fans were delighted and cheered for the addition of the defender.

Meanwhile, the news that Inter Milan youth captain Andreoli had been traded to Roma was drowned out.

The lonely back of the young defender, who was once pinned on by the Inter Milanese, did not attract attention.

***********

On July 26, Inter Milan played their first warm-up match after the training camp of the new season.

They played a warm-up match against Cagliari in Sardinia, where Inter Milan drew 2-2 with Cagliari thanks to goals from Borriello and Diego Milito.

After the game, Leon was furious, he was unhappy with the team's two goals conceded.

"Milan Sport" joked that Li Ang did not need to be in a hurry at all, because Zivo, whom he had named, was coming.

On the same day, it was officially announced on the official website of Real Madrid that Argentine midfielder Esteban Cambiasso officially joined Real Madrid from Inter Milan at a sky-high price of 35 million euros.

Subsequently, the official website of Inter Milan also officially confirmed the news and sent blessings to Cambiaso.

The official announcement of the transfer shocked the world of football, and the media, while shocked by Real Madrid's big spending, also joked that Inter Milan had finally made a big deal to make money.

You know, Cambiasso used to play for Real Madrid, but in Real Madrid, Cambiasso rarely got the opportunity to show himself, and his shining performances here are only a handful. At the age of 22, he excelled against Feyenoord in the UEFA Super Cup, providing two assists, but that did not win the trust of Real Madrid. During his time at Real Madrid, he was sent out on loan on several occasions to play for Independiente Argentina and River Plate; In the summer of 2004, Real Madrid did not renew Cambiasso's contract, and Inter Milan got him for free. Now, three years later, Cambiasso is back at Real Madrid, but Real Madrid will have to pay a whopping 35 million euros.

According to the media, Moratti himself is very proud of this transfer deal, Inter Milan has been sarcastically criticized by the media as a star black hole, and now Cambiaso's sky-high transfer to Real Madrid is considered to be a justification for Inter Milan, and you must know that Cambiaso is just Carlos's substitute, and Cambiaso's departure does not have a big impact on Inter Milan's midfield strength.

The Spanish media focused on the transfer deal, and the "Marca" newspaper commented on the deal that Calderón was paying for Florentino's mistake back then, when the player who was released for free during the Florentino period has now had to be bought back for a sky-high price of 35 million.

Just when the media reported on Cambiaso's sky-high return to Inter Milan, the British "Times" broke the news that before Real Madrid, Arsenal was also pursuing Cambiaso, and even Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger personally called Inter Milan coach Leon, but in the end, because the difference in transfer fees was too big, Arsenal and Cambiaso missed.

The reporter interviewed Leon about the matter, and Leon nodded, "That's right, Arsenal want to get Cambiaso, but, obviously, we don't feel their sincerity. ”

The reporter then approached Arsene Wenger, whose face was not good, "We expressed our sincerity, we made an offer that we thought was suitable, but, obviously, Inter Milan did not think so, congratulations to them for making a fortune from Real Madrid." ”

The sincerity in Li Ang's mouth, as well as the sincerity in Wenger's mouth, aroused the curiosity of the media.

Subsequently, the media actually found out that this figure: Leon asked for 40 million euros, but Wenger was only willing to pay 13 million euros.

All of a sudden, public opinion was in an uproar.

The media talked about it and ridiculed it.

Even Arsenal fans thought their club's offer to Cumbia was simply shocking......

Cambiaso, who has already moved to Real Madrid, responded by Cambiaso, who said, "Coach Leon thinks I'm worth 40 million, I'm honored!"

The matter didn't seem to end there, and every time he played against Arsenal, Cambiaso felt like he was beaten up......

PS: Weakly ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
