Chapter 255: New Target!
A day later, Leon received a call from Grosso's agent, Mr. Saskella, who told him that Fabio Grosso had agreed to go to Spain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hanging up the phone, Li Ang waved his fist excitedly.
With the players in place, Grosso's transfer is basically two-thirds complete, and the remaining third is to negotiate with Palermo, the club where Grosso now plays.
Leon will not personally come forward to negotiate the transfer with Palermo, let alone let the other party know that the manager of Sporting Gijón is now in Palermo, which will not help Palermo except to let Palermo know that he is bound to Grosso.
He came to Palermo in person to make Grosso feel his sincerity, and for the Palermo club, it is better not to let the other party know.
Leon then called the club's general manager, Benita Arango, to tell her that she could make another offer to Palermo.
Benita understands this.
Soon, Palermo president Zamparini received another offer from the Spanish club Sporting Gijón.
Lucatoni, €4.5 million, Zacardo + Barzagli, €5.5 million, Fabio Grosso, €1 million.
Zamparini was completely stunned, this Sporting Gijón is really out of play, this time, Lucatoni's offer increased by 500,000 euros, Barzagli and Zaccardo increased the total price by 500,000 euros, well, and finally dragged a Grosso, the offer of 1 million euros.
***********
Sporting Gijón's last offer, as Zamparini did, Palermo did not respond.
However, this time, after thinking about it for a while, Zamparini informed the club to communicate with Sporting Gijón that he wanted to find out what the Spanish club was trying to do, was it to wipe out all the players in Palermo?
Although this time, Sporting Gijón only raised the price of 500,000 euros, but it made Zamparini vigilant, he was worried that this was the other party's negotiation method, I don't know if the other party will continue to raise the price, Palermo's team has no real non-sale, but the team is absolutely impossible to sell so many main players.
Zamparini began to ponder, for Lucatoni, his psychological price is more than 8 million euros, and Barzagli and Zaccardo, the two defenders combined, his psychological price is above 12 million euros, as for Grosso, who suddenly appeared in this second offer, Zamparini's psychological price is around 2 million euros.
The opponent seems to be eyeing Toney and Barzagli and Zaccardo, and as for Grosso, Zamparini believes that Sporting Gijón is an add-on rather than the main target, otherwise Grosso's name will also appear in the first offer.
Benita was a little excited to receive a reply from the Palermo club, this negotiation was the first real player transfer negotiation after she became the general manager of Sporting Gijón.
According to her agreement with Leon, Leon will lead the transfer power this summer, but Leon also agreed to let Benita participate in the transfer negotiations of some players, and Leon gave a mental estimate of the value of the player to be bought, and then handed it over to Benita to negotiate.
On the one hand, because Benita is a professional, and on the other hand, Sporting Gijón has less than ten days to start the training camp of the new season, and Leon is pressed for time, he can't keep an eye on a player's negotiations and the opposing club's constant negotiations, he can't be busy alone.
***********
Everything went as Leon had expected, and the negotiations between the club and Palermo went very well.
Palermo were completely confused by a mess of punches from Sporting Gijón, with Zamparini believing that the important ones were Lucatoni and Zaccardo and Barzagli, and especially Tony. As for Sporting Gijón's bid for Grosso, it is not too important.
In such a situation, Grosso suddenly submitted a transfer request to Palermo.
Sporting Gijón almost immediately followed suit and made a third offer, five million for Lucatoni, six million for Zacardo and Barzagli, and one and a half million for Grosso.
When the offer was submitted, Benita was a little worried, if Palermo had agreed to the first two offers, Sporting Gijón would have gone into the trap because they simply wouldn't have that much money to complete the deal. If this is exposed, Sporting Gijón will no longer want to buy people in the transfer market, and its reputation will be rotten.
At this time, he was still in Italy, but Leon, who had already left Palermo and was heading for Tuscany, comforted Benita, "Don't worry, there will be no accidents." Neither Toney's offer, nor Zaccardo or Barzagli's offer is far from Zamparini's psychological estimates. ”
Leon was right, the offer of the three players did not meet Zamparini's estimate, but Grosso's offer of 1.5 million euros is something that Palermo can grudgingly accept now.
Palermo did not suspect too much that Grosso and Sporting Gijón had private contact, because, among the Italian players, only a few big-name stars went to play abroad, ordinary players basically did not play abroad, and Sporting Gijón is not a well-known club, so the possibility of Grosso and Sporting Gijón privately receiving each other is very low.
The Palermo club made what they considered to be the right choice, agreeing to Sporting Gijón's bid for Grosso, informing them that they could negotiate a personal treatment with the player.
Since the player himself is leaving, the club simply pushes the boat to do personal favors, and it can be regarded as a good cooperative relationship with this Sporting Gijón club, although the Spanish club's offer to buy Toney and Barzagli and others is far from satisfying Zamparini, but it is not wrong to be a favor and build a good relationship. In the future, Palermo really wants to push Toney and others into the transfer market, then Sporting Gijón is a potential buyer, what if this Spanish club grits its its teeth and pays a high price?!
***********
By the time Leon received another call from Benita with good news, he had already gone deep into an Italian restaurant in Tuscany to invite a player.
After receiving a call from Benita, Leon was very happy that there would be no problem in the negotiation between Sporting Gijón and Grosso on personal treatment, and the two sides had previously communicated that the personal salary package offered by Sporting Gijón was 20 percent higher than Grosso's current salary in Palermo, reaching 500,000 euros, and Grosso was satisfied with this.
He knew that Grosso's transfer was done!
The team's left-back, the position that Leon fears the most, can now finally reassure him.
After ending the call with Benita, Leon received a call from Grosso's agent Fisichella, who also called to report the good news, of course, this is also a disguised reminder to Leon to receive the subsequent 40,000 euros as soon as possible...... Li Ang smiled and congratulated the two sides on their happy cooperation, and the other party understood in seconds.
At the end of the call, Leon smiled apologetically at the flat-headed Italian man sitting across from him, "I'm really sorry, Antonio. However, I want to have good news for you, if you go to my team, you won't be alone......"
"What do you mean, sir?" the other asked in surprise.
"Fabio Grosso. Do you know each other?" Leon tugged at the pasta on his plate, which really didn't taste good. Although Grosso has not officially signed with Sporting Gijon, this does not prevent Leon from seducing people with a 'great left-back'. (To be continued.) )
