Chapter 448: Winter Reinforcement (1)
Siena is happy that Sporting Gijón is involved in the transfer battle for Chiesa, after all, there is one more buyer, so it is better to raise the price. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, they simply expressed their welcome to Sporting Gijón to join in, and put forward the condition of letting Chiesa leave: a transfer fee of 1 million euros.
This is an obvious rip-off, a 34-year-old veteran, who joined as a free agent at the beginning, and now he is asking for a million euros, what is this not a rip-off?
Li Ang has the three million euros that he 'saved' during the summer transfer, and if necessary, he can also apply for a winter transfer fund, so this winter transfer, Li Ang and Sporting Gijón are still relatively abundant.
However, having funds in hand does not mean that Li Ang is willing to be the wrongdoer.
***********
Naturally, Leon would not agree to Siena's request of one million euros, however, he still raised the offer, and Sporting Gijón made a second offer, with Leon raising Chiesa's value by 150,000 and Sporting Gijón asking for Chiesa for 650,000 euros.
In this era, the era of player premium has not yet arrived, and the transaction of millions of euros is a certain sensation, not to mention that this is still the winter transfer market, for a thirty-four-year-old veteran, the offer of 650,000 euros is not low.
The price of Sporting Gijón is beyond the psychological capacity of other suitors, and even Udinese, who was bound to win, hesitated, Udinese has a temperament to spend a small amount of money, and they rarely 'throw money' at the transfer market, and 500,000 euros to buy a 30-year-old veteran is already the limit for Udinese.
Udinese were furious that Sporting Gijón had once again intervened in their bid for players. In the summer, Sporting Gijón snatched Di Natale from their hands, look at Di Natale is now playing well in La Liga, Udinese hates it. Now, Sporting Gijón has actually come to rob their Chiesa again, and Udinese has a new hatred and an old hatred......
However, they are still helpless...... Because it is impossible for them to add more money to compete with Sporting Gijón for Chiesa, it has never been Udinese's style to throw money around, even if it is only 150,000 euros...... They will not change their principles and traditions in the transfer market because of a 34-year-old veteran like Chiesa.
***********
Udinese was angry and helpless, but they were reluctant to quit. They can only hope that Chiesa himself will be more inclined to join Siena than to move to Spain. However, regardless of the outcome, they now have a hate for Leon and Sporting Gijón.
Udinese could not afford to increase the price, which basically means that among the clubs seeking Chiesa, the closest thing to him is Sporting Gijón.
This also made the Siena club, which intends to extort money, have to start seriously considering the offer of 650,000 euros for Sporting Gijón after weighing it twice.
Now, there are no big problems at club level.
Then, the rest depends on the personal wishes of the players.
Although Sporting Gijón is only a promoted polo team, however, Sporting Gijón can participate in European competitions, in addition, Sporting Gijón is now the fourth team in La Liga, and now Sporting Gijón wants to bring in themselves, and the 34-year-old Italian veteran Chiesa will naturally not refuse. Udinese and Sporting Gijón, it is almost impossible to choose which one to choose.
What's more, there is another situation, Sporting Gijón now has a certain reputation in Italian football, Italians know that La Liga has a dark horse called Sporting Gijón this season, which can attract the attention of Italians, mainly because Sporting Gijón has three Italian players, including Albertini and Di Natale and Grosso, Albertini needless to say, Di Natale's outstanding performance in Sporting Gijón has attracted a certain amount of attention in Italian football. and Grosso also performed well, which also made Chiesa have a good impression of Sporting Gijón to a certain extent, not to mention that he has three compatriots in this team, at least he is not alone.
Therefore, Chiesa, after learning that Sporting Gijón had raised his offer for the second time, immediately informed his agent, terminated the negotiations with Udinese regarding his personal contract, and waited for Siena to reply to Sporting Gijón - this is how he also expressed his attitude that he wants to go to Sporting Gijón.
At the same time, Chiesa also feels that with this attitude of his own, Siena should be inclined to agree to the deal.
***********
In fact, in the face of such an offer, and given the attitude of the player himself, Siena knew that they could not keep Chiesa, and they had no reason to refuse.
Siena replied to Sporting Gijón that they agreed to let Sporting Gijón negotiate with Chiesa on personal treatment. Things have progressed to this point, and it has gone smoothly, and it can basically be said that it has come naturally.
The negotiation with Chiesa on personal treatment was also relatively smooth, and the Italian veteran had a low salary when he was in Siena, and now he went to the stronger Sporting Gijón, and naturally there was no reason to ask for a high salary, and for the 34-year-old veteran, being able to have the opportunity to play in Europe was enough to make him satisfied.
Therefore, on Christmas Eve, Sporting Gijón has reached an agreement with the player himself on the personal contract of Chiesa's transfer.
Now wait for the Christmas holidays to end, Chiesa has completed his medical examination, and if everything is normal, the transfer deal can be officially completed.
Chiesa's transfer will not be announced until after Christmas, when the medical examination goes well, but on Christmas Eve, there is good news on the official website of Sporting Gijón.
Sporting Gijón fans were delighted to see the Christmas Eve gift from the club when they announced that they had signed a four-year professional contract with young French striker Karim Benzema, who had just celebrated his seventeenth birthday a few days earlier.
Because he was not yet 17 years old, Sporting Gijón signed a youth contract with Benzema, which was also coveted by some other clubs.
Therefore, before Benzema's seventeenth birthday, Leon arranged for the club to start negotiations with Benzema on a professional contract.
***********
Although there are other teams to poach and offer some attractive conditions, Benzema's family, especially Benzema's father, who is also Benzema's agent, is very grateful to Li Ang who personally went to France to invite Benzema to join, of course, the most important thing is that Benzema's family is not short-sighted, they are still very satisfied and looking forward to letting Benzema continue to play under Li Ang, and now, Li Ang has a great reputation for cultivating young people.
Because of this, although other clubs came to poach and make trouble, the signing of professional contracts between Sporting Gijón and Benzema was relatively smooth.
PS: On the train, in the mobile phone codeword, the conditions are difficult......
